cottons that look just like chiffon
and are called chiffonel. They make
adorable afternoon dresses that are
wrinkle proof, sunfast and pre-
shrunk, and that is good deal to
say of Just thin textured cotton.
The colors are lovely, too. so if you
want an attractive little dressy frock
for S7.95 this is the kind that will
appeal to you.
A ND now for tip to the girl or
\ woman who wants a Summer
wardrobe but can't see her way to
stretching her budget to include all
the items she needs. Let her try her
hand at the fascinating sport of max
ing her own Summer outfit from those
enticing materials that we spoke
about on Monday. A scheme has
been worked out whereby you can
create a complete wardrobe of 10
items for S25 All details have been
planned-kinds and amounts of ma
terials, with cost of each garment
and the scheme includes sports,
street, afternoon and evening dresses
and a white coat besides. The de-
signs are all easily within the ability
of the average seamStreSS; nothing
really complicated among them.
The figure sketched in the inset
above is wearing one of these dresses
a cotton lace at only SO cents yard,
so that this useful frock will cost you
only S1.55 if you make it yourself.
The patterns suggested in this scheme
are all standard designs chosen from
the various well-knoWn pattern serv-
ices, and a booklet giving pictures
and information about them may be
secured here in town for the asking.
If you are interested in smaller
group of these dresses they have been
combined in different groups and the
prices for each carefully worked out.
A little style show of the dresses is
to be presented on May IS and you
might be interested in that, so you
could see just how good these dresses
look when actually made up and worn
by models.

T KNEW one very wise old man, a
very successful business man and
politician, who told me that he never
went into an important deal with a
man until he had played poker with
him. He said that after he had sat
in an all-night poker session with any
man he knew all there was to be told
about him. He knew just how good
sport he was, how much judgment
he had, whether he was unduly up
lifted by success or too much cast
down by defeat. He knew if the man
knew when to bluff and when to
hedge, and especially he knew if the
man was a good loser.
For myself, I largely judge people
by the things at which they laugh.
If they are only amused at smutty
stories, I know they are minded.
If they laugh uproariously when some
one gets a nasty fall, or at some
witticiSm that StabS like a knife and

ridicule, I know they are cruel by
nature and would have enjoyed an

Flowers at
Bridal Time
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: Is your ap-
~ parent disapproval of the ring
bearer due to bad form or because
of the danger in entrusting the ring
to him?"
Answer: New York society has never
been enthusiastic about ring bearers.
but in many other cities they are
very popular, and considered in best
taste. But it is quite seriously neceS-
sary that the ring be fastened in some
way to the cushion-either dropped
over the head of a pearl flower pin or
sewed with a single, but securely
knotted thread. The best man then
either lifts it or pulls it off. (He should
be shown at the rehearsal exactly how
it comes off,
Dear Mrs. Post: am having very
small wedding at noon in the chapel
of a very large church in the city.

suits and I have no idea what flowers
would be most suitable and whether
they ought to be carried or pinned on.
With all the details so unbride-like.
what boutonnieres would you suggest
for the menu"
Answer: From the point of view of
suitability a small bouquet of some Of
the hitler, gayly colored varieties of
Spring flowers would be in much
better taste-and smarter-on your
tailored suit. OF course If you choose
to carry a small bouquet of gardenias
or roses or orchids. there is no rule
that forbids you to wear or carry
whatever you like best on this day of
days, as long as this is not an over
elaborate brides bouquet. With formal
clothes the men would wear white
gardenias; less formal, white car
nations. But if you are wearing color
ed garden flowers, I think bouton-
niers of white daisies would seem very
suitable.

qualities which promote health and
growth, and which also have some
effect upon the glandular and ner-
vous systems of the human body.
They are found in the various foods
in minute quantities. There IS a
theory that they are form of energy,
and therefore cannot be considered
as if they were a regular food COM
ponent.
Whatever they are, their impor-
lance is very great, as is demonstrated
by the serious functional and organic
disturbances that manifest themselves
in human beings who have been de-
prived of some of them.
We have been preaching constantly
the necessity of proper cooking to re-
tain all the vitamin value of vege-
tables and other food sources, and
cannot stress too strongly the impor-
lance of following this suggestion.

EOR a well-balanced vitamin diet,
the average person should eat ev-
cry day whole milk, leafy vegetables,
eggs, butter, raw or canned tomatoes
or their juice, citrus fruits and whole
grain in either bread or cereal form.
With such a diet. the fundamental
body needs are adequately taken care
of, as far as the vitamin question is
concerned.

the body against infection and pre-

Nth National Cotton week

wv we have done some more
Y Y investigating and found
that casual cotton dresses
for sports, street and all-around fill
ers-in are among the best buys at
the moment. They are so fresh and
attractive and the styles are legion.
When you see an entire large de-
partment devoted exclusively to cot
tons, with rack after rack filled with
them, and pretty mannequins strolling
about a fower-laden pergola, the
only difficulty is what to look at
first, it is so bewildering.
The two active sports models
sketched above were chosen for their
vivid contrast of materials which
makes them outstanding. They are
both of linen: the upper one outlining
its brown vestlike section, with strips
of green where the sleeves are set in,
and the white bar buttons with green
ends are smart details. The other
dress is two-piece with bold red, yell
low. green and dark blue plaided on
blue skirt and shoulder pieces. These
frocks will be fine to take along on
weekend trips for golf and picnics.

Cotton lace is one of the most sat
isfactory materials for Summer. It
is cool, does not show wrinkles and
is the solution of what to wear for
varied occasions that may come up
in the course of one day. Such a
frock is called the 24-hour dress and
is of shell-pink cotton net with small
design. The collar, short sleeves and
pockets on the blouse portion are
edged with double rows of tiny pleated
pink "var' lace. If you prefer a
darker color, navy blue cord lace
gives excellent wear and comes with

n meet them? What are the
- earmarks that you look for in
strangers in order to get their
numbers? Probably the initial test
that we all apply to new acquaintance
is the clothes test, because that is the
first thing that We notice about an
individual.
An old proverb says that we should
not judge a man by the way he is
dressed, but in reality there are few
better ways by which to size one up
When we have given one the once
over, we have not only gotten an eye
full, but a brainful, and we have a
fairly accurate idea of his character,
disposition and position in life.
JUST as Culver. the great natural
list, could reconstruct whole ami
NAL from a single bone, so we can
build up a man and a woman from
their hats or their shoes.
If their hats are ill-choSen and I'M
suited to them-if, for example, a big,
middle-aged man wears a college boys
rah-rah hat or homely woman with
a hard face wears picture hat-they
lack judgment and taste. If their
shoes are run over at the heels and
need polishing, they are indolent and
slovenly.
IF THEIR clothes are spotted and
= need pressing, they are lazy and
will do as little work as they possibly
can. If they do not keep up with the
fashions they will never keep up with
new ideas in business. But If, on the
other hand, you can see that they
have made the most of whatever
money they had to spend on their
clothes; if they are neat and clean and
smart looking; if they have tied their
cheap ties in the latest knot and wear
their basement bargain dresses with
an air, then you know they are up
and coming and ambitious and that
some day they will get wherever they
started to go.
The next thing by which we Judge
people is their manners. OF course, a
man may have a boorish outside and
heart of gold, and often we do come
to esteem the good qualities Of people
who repulse us at first, but If a
stranger is surly, or grouchy, or I'M
approachable, we label him as ill-bred,
or a cad, or a bounder, and pass
him up.
RUT if a man is affable and courte-
- GUS, II he has poise and dignity,
if he knows what to say and how to
say it, if he never busters or brow
beats his interiors, we recognize him
at sight for a gentleman.
Then by their talk shall ye know
them. Not only shall you know
whether your new acquaintance is
intelligent or stupid, whether he or
she is well educated or illiterate,
whether he or she is a spellbinder or
bore, but you shall know everything
else about their social and financial
standing, their breeding, their morals
and their general characteristics. For
every word is a give-away.
THE man who tell you within five
l. minutes after you have met him
about how great and wonderful he is,
nine times out of ten is a nobody. The
man who boasts of his wealth to
strangers generally hasn't a dollar to
his name. The man who tells you of
his affairs with women and how no
woman can resist him is not only q
blackguard but liar.

Make Jams
And JellieS
InOddTin1e
Meals Are Prepared
by Busy Women
With Skill.
BY EDITH NJ. BARBER.

THE business woman who has little
time to prepare her evening meal
depends a good deal upon accessories
such as salad dressing, chilli sauce or
ketchup and jellies and jams to add
interest to her quickly prepared
meals. Although she can buy all
these things ready made, she may like
to spend half an hour or so in the
preparation of few glasses of jams
and jellies, which can be made up
while her husband or children are
washing up the dinner dishes.
Just now Spring is supplying us
with Strawberries. pineapple and rhu-
barb, all of which may be found at
reasonable prices and which, either
by themselves or in combination,
make very good jam. Strawberry
jelly which was seldom attempted by
cooks of an earlier day because
Strawberries lacked the essential pee
tin may be made satisfactorily and
quickly by the use of bottled pectin,
which is so necessary for quick proc
ess jams and jellieS.
Before you start to make jellieS
and jams, be sure that you have
sugar, pectin and parafin. as well as
plenty of Jelly glasses Glasses must
be carefully washed and scalded with
hot water, but need not be boiled. I
like to cover my hot jelly as soon as

layer the next day.
These jams and jellies which you
make will find use in the main
course for breakfast, luncheon and
dinner, and they may also be used,
combined with cakes, for dessert.
