Fabrics
Have Place
In Mode
BY WILMA LAVILLE

'"The ubiquitous rayon is stirl
a favorite. 1t Is especially fea-
tured in color" So runs a cable
about the new Schiaparelli COL
lection in Paris.
There are so many of these
synthetic materials, and new
ones come out all the time,
that it is almost impossible to
keep up with them. There's one
thing that is important though,
and that is that you can trust
them now.
For q while when they were
Just out they were not all per-
fected. Some would stretch,
others run, a few were even
known to fall in holes. But all
Of that is over.
New Substitutes
The main reason for creating
synthetic fabrics is that they
can be used in different ways
and look different from natural
fabrics. They are not often less
expensive but they have differ
ent characteristics. They each
have their own place in the
mode, therefore, and should not
be considered as substitutes or
limitations.
One of the main beauties OF
seraceta crepe, and Of some of
the other synthetics, is that 1t
hangs straight and beautifully.
It also takes dye exquisitely, and
the colorS you find it in are
lovely. Corded weaves and
other unsual textures are posi-.
BILE, so that a whole new field of
fabrics is opened up.
In Two COlOrs
We are showing a photograph
Of a gown of seraceta crepe to-
day, which illustrates its beauty
Of weave and the way it drapes
and hangs. The colors are
lovely, too, but, unfortunately,
we can't show that in our pic
ture.
The gown is of ribbed seraceta
in shrimp pink or a powdery
blue, and has an unusual bodice
with a huge velvet bow and bind.
ing Of the decolletage in velvet.
The velvet is a deeper blue on
the blue gown and a purplish
wine on the pink. It is moder-
ately priced in a downtown
store, and is practical because
Of its low decolletage and jacket
which, covers it whenever you
wish.

ON THE ROAD
Sometimes an inn along the
way
May seem as dear as home.
If, in the fragrant hour we
stay,
Rare happiness should bloom!
If sudden joy or certain gain
Should meet us at that place,
Then, evermore, it will remain
In thought like some loved face.
Perhaps, for many a weary mile
We seek the rugged crest,
And then a gracious inn will
smile
And offer ease and rest.
Our road may wind and twist
and turn,
So hard the steep ascent,
Until the inns gay candles burn
In token of content.
Sometimes an inn along the
way
May seem like home one hour,
IF, in the little time we stay,
Rare happiness should flower!

I am terribly in love with a
boy who is awfully shy. I can't
say whether or not he loves me.
Sometimes he acts that way,
and other times he doesn't.
What can I do to make him
even like me? I go to his house
very often, as his mother is a
good friend of the family.
TESS.
Your position is distinctly
strategic, in that you have a
favorable introduction to the
boys house. This shy boy is
not likely to do what many
shy male creatures are likely to
do, namely, make a getaway.
My advice, at this stage of your
friendship, is to be very re-

MY dear A. E. P.t
I am told, lately, that really
the years have very little to do
with most of the champagne
sold over here, at present, as
the wine has become so stan
dardized in its process that the
vintage does not make a great
deal of difference. However,
here is a short list Of the best

They Won; Nobody lost

TTNHEY loved to talk about conditions in their dull
dumb opinionated, prosperous way Conditions
were fine and getting better all the time and Mr.
Coolidge was the greatest President since Washing
ton and always would be possible to call up the
broker and bet $500 and win $4,000 between morn
ing and night with nobody ever the loser.
That wasn't youth l taking some pretty
close SquintS at youth all that time and they were
nosing into their books pretty steadily right along
and firing furnaces and showing trays of dishes
around to pay their way through school,
Youth can hang for murder for there is no law
which says that boy of 10 20 is too young to
pay of when he is taken in the crime of homicide
And in time of war he carry musket or fly
a plane but he is too young to be trusted with the
solemn responsibility Of voting against some one
who has been selected in Darkroom as the peoples
choice for mayor or President.
Although that is not beyond the capacity of the
citizen voter who, in forty years residence in the
United States barely has learned to read so much as
ribbon strip across the top of the fve-sar SPORT
ing final.
This seems to bring me to the point of suggesting
that when they are smart enough they are old
enough to vote and that many man and woman
arrives at three score years and ten without reaching
the age of citizenship.

ME eclipse fare for 1884 is a meager one from
4 the standpoint OF American astronomers, both
professional and amateur. Although four ecipses,
the average number for any year, will take place
none OF them will be visible in the eastern half Of
the United States
AS matter Of fact the years eclipse schedule is
unsatisfactory for the world in general for only one
of the four ecipses is total one and it is only
total ecses which hold any very great interest for
astronomers.
On Jan. 30 there, will be partial eclipse of the
moon. This will be visible in the northwestern part
Of North America, including Alaska the western
coast of Canada and perhaps the states of Washing
ton and Oregon the Arctic ocean, the Pacific ocean,
Australia Asia, the Indian ocean, the northeastern
part of Africa, and Europe
total eclipse of the would occur on Feb 10.
but unfortunately the track of this eclipse is in
most out-of-the-way part of the globe The path of
otaity extends from the island of Borneo out across
the Pacific ocean, ending in longitude 14O degrees
west and latitude so degrees north.
The path is entirely over the ocean, crossing only
three small islands, Losap. Orouk and Wake all in
mid-Pacfc In Borneo, the eclipse will occur at the
time OF sunrise when of course, the sun is too low
on the horizon for scientific observations of any
value.
JAPANESE astronomers it is understood are max
- ing plans to observe the solar eclipse in February
Invitations to take part in the expeditions have been
extended to American observatories, but no an
nouncements of American participation in the work
have been made
The third eclipse Of the year will be partial
eclipse Of the moon July 26 This will be visible
in most of that part of the United States which is
west Of the Mississippi river 1t also will be visible
generally throughout the western half of North and
South America, the Pacific ocean, the Antarctic
ocean, Australia and eastern Asia.
The last eclipse Of the year will be of the sun on
Aug. 10. This VIII be of the sort known as an an
nular eclipse.
THE eclipse toward which astronomers are looking
l. with high interest will occur on June g. 1887.
Calculations show that the eclipse of the sun which
takes place on that date will have period Of to-
tally Of seven minutes and seven seconds This is
five or six times long the usual length of to-
tally Accordingly it ought to be possible to make
finer observations than are usually made.

And if boys and girls still bootlegged into mills

heredity.
Does anybody sitting in a pleasant place twenty
five stories from the street hear the cry of chill

most of us don't. But have known a few who did
have known those who asserted with utter SINGER

years OF the gorgeous and goofy of prosperity in

Florida in those days who regarded themselves as
important citizens and well qualified to decide what

Aside from a rather quiet and
demure freshman year, Tristram
developed into somewhat of a.
FOSTERING and unruly student.
Romance pushed its head into
iris affairs early in his college
days, however, and he started
writing love notes in chapel and
handing them to a young lady
friend on the way out. All was
well, until the young lady's heart
less roommate made some of the
notes public. The student popu-
lation, it is to be feared, did not
appreciate true poetry.
Independent thought was begin
ming to take a hold on Mr.. Coffin
and he became the stormy petrol
Of many class. Wherever there
was a debatable point, classwork
stopped until Mr.. Coffin was sat-
isfled with the explanation.
Classrooms often were turned
into two-man debating circles
with Tristram and the professor
battling out the disputed point.
To Mr.. Collins credit, it may be
added however, that he carried off
his part with exceptional grace
and he earned the respect of his
professors rather than melting ir-
ritation.

tobacco as well. The popularity" of each drug

PRACTICALLY all these drugs are used in medi-
cine and the amount Of addiction is determined in
some cases by finding out how much more of the
drug is produced than actually is used in medical
care
For years there has been great deal of research
on the nature Of addiction with a view TO its pre-

a person has become addicted to some of these
