WASHINGTON FASH HONS
I

An occasional cold day makes
us all realize that a jacket Is q
necessity. It sends us scurrying
down town to look for one, and
sometimes the results are dis
appointing. Separate jackets
have a way Of not fitting too
well, and then we can't find
something that's not to sports
like for most Of the frocks we
have that need a jacket. Last
year we had little velveteen
jackets with cape sleeves that
solved the problem somewhat,
but because capes weren't as
popular then as they are now.
they never were especially well
accepted. This year we can
choose between corduroy bell
hop jackets, silk crepe or flan-
mel, or little cotton pique jac-
ketS that will do only with cot
ton or linen frocks.
Not Too Tailored
But there's something even
better than that, and it fits
into many needs. It's the vel
veteen sports jacket with long
sleeves. It has some design
and line to it, so that it really
fits well, wraps far over with a
Surplice closing, and is held by
q belt. The raglan sleeves are
open, with cording about the
cuff part, and there is SUM-
burst tucking about the collar
less neckline to make the jac-
ket fit better. There are even
pockets to make it more con-
venient. It comes in dark
colors, brown, ruby, the new
beet red, blue or black.
With ChiffOns Too
The best thing about it hasn't
been told yet, however, and that
is that you can wear it with
afternoon or dinner gowns, too.

The Brides Attendants

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. Is it proper for a married
person to be a bridesmaid? I
have an only sister who is mar
ried and who is going to be my
matron of honor. One Of my
best friends is married and I
would like to have her as brides
maid. I am having three other
bridesmaids who are single.
Friends tell me that it would
be wrong to ask a married per-
son to be a bridesmaid.
2. Is it incorrect to ask an
only sister to be a brides
maid instead Of a maid-of'
honor? I was thinking Of ask
ine my best friend to be maid
of-honor and my sister to be a
bridesmaid, but my mother
thinks that this would look
queer. 1.

and unmarried people as we'd

true of the attendants Of the

So by all means ask this good

z led his ace of diamonds. He
had to secure a discard Of his

the question of who held the

with a young girl while she was
teaching near my home. She's

said she loved me and I asked
her to be my wife. She con-

were married.
About 30 minutes after the
ceremony one Of her uncles ar.
rived. I. happened to be out Of
the room when their talk took
place. He told her that her
mother was dangerously Ill
and insisted that she leave i'm.
mediately, which she did, with
the understanding that she
would be back in two days.
But instead of coming back, l
got q letter saying that since
she had talked with her mother

had made a mistake. What
should I do? L. T.
AS I am unacquainted with

Recently in this column at
tention was called to the

In children from eating cathar-
tic pills containing the drug.
One of the worst features OF
the situation has been that no

Heart Of Gold
Life is a flower with a golden
heart:
Though petal after petal drop
away
AS one by one the Swift-winged
years depart,
Still something of its charm
and fragrance stay.
AS ever wider open falls the
rose,
Still heavier, more potent
grows its scent,
And rare, new loveliness the
hours disclose,
Surprising eech, yet
strangely eloquent.
A flower is life; yet, as youths
petals fall,
And flying years reach out
with eager clutch,
Time is defrauded; he can not
take all,
But only graces valued over
much;
For not until the final leaves
unfold
Does it reveal its matchless

ard the most fascinating OF all
animals. Of all the carn:vora
known to man he is the one
about whom there is the least

one thing are those who have

Not much of the meager

liable in most respects-devoted
q few vague lines to the black
leopard, winding up by declar-
ing him to be most plentiful
in southern India. This is in
correct, for there are more
black leopards in the Malay
Peninsula than anywhere else
in the world.
Only those who have had

animal have any real informa-
ton. Having brought back 20
black leopards to the United
states, I feel qualified to dis
cuss the subject; though I

their rapid increase in the Ma

black far outnumber the spot

ted leopards are constantly
producing black leopards. where
the reverse is an unusual oc-
currence. Nowhere else is there
q condition comparable to this.
Black Cubs
In India, Africa, southern
China and other places where
the leopard is plentiful the
tawny-colored cats have on rare
occasions been known to pro-
duce a black cub and it is only
in Malaga that this phenomenon
has developed to the point Of
practically establishing a true
species Of black leopard. No
one knows WHAT'S done it. Some
scientists attribute it to the
climate. Others cite it as an
other example of natures pro-
tective color scheme, for the
tungles of Malaga are heavier
and darker than other habitatS
Of the leopard. But nobody has
q very convincing explanation
to offer.
The black leopard is a sport"
that is, a spontaneous devita-
ton from type. What there
was originally in the makeup
of these first black "throw-offs"
in the Malay jungle that eventu-
ally resulted in the freaks out

geological mystery that may
never be solved. If the present

leopards of the Malay Peninsula
