Draped Girdle Gives SIenderness
BY MARY MARSHALL.

belts of this sort and sometimes soft
velvet is draped around the waist to
give the same effect. The girdle shown
in the sketch was bought as a separate
accessory with a pair of matching san
dals, specially dyed to harmonic with
the simply draped dress with which
they were to be worn.
1t is. of course. decidedly smart TO
wear the suede belt, but as warmer
weather comes you may find 1t a tribe
too warm, and then the best plan Is to
have the girdle made from light weight
velvet or, better still, from silk crepe
or one Of the new chalky-toned satins.
If YOU use the satin you can have satin
slippers dyed to match
The really important thing, as we
said is the fact that this new draped
girdle gives the slenderness at the
waistline that is fattering and decidedly
smart. We speak of the present mode,
but really the word waistline is little
misleading. because 1t is not enough to
have a slender line about the middle OF
the waist The entire silhouette from
hips to bust should be slender and by
using a gracefully draped girdle OF a
tone somewhat darker than that OF the
dress this effect of slenderness Is OBJ
tanned even when the fgure Is not so
slender as it should be.

WINTERTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

T know of only one flower around the
blooms in Winter, and that is the silver
maple 1t has been known to appear
in January, bursting from twigs Of last
year. its buds, Of course, having been
already well formed last Autumn, so
that at any suggestion OF thaw or fine
days, a few precocious and welcome
flowers will burst into bloom.
The flower of the silver maple is not,
YOU will say, very much Of a 1oreScence.
l grant it. but we cannot, begging for
Spring as We are now, be choosers, and
any sort of flower that braves the winds
of January deserves our admiration. The
red maple comes into its first bloom
three weeks or a month later, the sugar
maple not till May.
To see the silver maple, go down to
the low woods along the Potomac. any
where from the Key Bridge South. The
sugar and red naples also grow there.
and the box elder, which is a sort OF
maple. but you will know the silver
maple by its silvery, flaky bark and the
magnificent down-sweeping and wide
spreading Of its branches.

merely watch the street trees of Wash
ington 1t will not be long before you
see a silver maple planted in the tree
parks.
Many of our local authorities on tree
planting for city streets condemn the
silver maple on the grounds that 1t is
Shcrt-lived and its branches are fragile,
so that it is always cracking in wind
storms. and it is subject to insect pests;
also that its branches grow in way to
interfere with traffic. I will content
myself with the observation that silver
naples have their points. and not the
least OF them is early Towering and its
cheerful psychological effect.
Tha silver maple, in my opinion, is
one OF the three or four most beautiful
trees in Eastern United States It's
growth is very rapid in youth-an un-
deniable advantage for landscape work

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruff

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
comb or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is to
dissolve it; then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace Of it.

Everyday Psychology
Origin of Societies.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Years ago it was supposed that So
cieties of one sort or another came into
existence because there was somewhere
a universal social mind. This social
mind was supposed to be as common as
the very air we breathe. Furthermore,
it was lust as invisible, if not more so;
but it was there nevertheless. That's
what the older social philosophers
thought.
Nowadays the social philosophers are
looking elswhere for an explanation OF
societies One of the most recent theo-
ries is this: Men form societies because
they can't get along without the assist
ance of their fellow beings. To put 1t
briefly, societies come into existence be-
cause of the common weaknesses Of
men. This is not a very elevating
theory, and proud man finds it hard to
swallow. But this theory is great deal
better than the one it has supplanted
Weakness and gregariousness seem to
go together. Many, if not all. of us be
long to a society of some kind. And
when We are up against it, we rightly
bolster up our affiliations with our
groups
