Light Weight
Wool

A very light weight wool in
white was chosen by Joy Hodges,
picture player, to create a smart
two-piece frock ideal for vacation
days in southern resorts now and
for wear later in the summer.
The sleeves of the bodice are cut
in one piece and are trimmed
with several rows of stitching in
tile color. The collarleSs neck
line also features this stitching.
Buttons and buckle are of wood
painted a matching tile. A white
felt sports hat and white kid
accessories were selected to com.
plete the ensemble.

Not\ for many years have we
used artificial flowers as much.
For several years they were con.
sidered quite outNof fashion. bad
taste almost. But nov all Of that
is past, and they areNas much in
as they have ever been. Et course,
If you can afford a freSES punch
of violets, or an orchid dailSS that
is all the better, but if pockethNoks
can't stand that, artificial Now-
ers are the next best thing.
Millinery Revival
Lilly Dache is responsible tE
the vogue in artificial flowers\
-Four years ago she became inter
ested in the little flower makers
so badly in need Of employment.
I'VE are going to bring them
back. If we keep on just using
felts we will all be out OF jobs, "
said the aStute Dache-So every
time she went to Paris to buy she
would say, I'm interested in
flowers-give me something with
flowers" The result is that the
vogue for flowers is established
not only for hats but new flower
accessories are matching gloves,
flowers are used in every manner
as accent color notes.
Day and Evening
Flower colorS are smart for day
time and evening. Molyneux has
used artificial flowers with cos
TUNES for the past three years
lilies, jonquils, iris. Mainboche1
has been very partial to larger ex
otic flowers, poppieS and roses as
accent and decorative notes.
This is a flower season. Violets
have captured the town by such
a storm that they will probably
be very short-lived. 1t is unfortu
nate that an over-promotion car
rum an idea that is so attractive
when used with a little restraint
Orchids as Trimming
Dache has introduced the orchid
aS a hat decoration, and very
smart it is, too, under the skillfuI
hands of this little genius.
Patou introduced new color
Cattleya-thiS means orchid. be
cause many varieties of the laven,
dar and deeper-toned orchids are
members of the Cattleya family;
and is the type that first comes
to mind when one hears the word
"orchid."
The name derives from that IA
nous and early English horticul-
turist, William Cattley, but that Is
another story. The romance and
drama associated with the search
for orchids and their transition
into commercial commodity is
as great as the romance and
drama that is associated with their
environment after they leave the
florist and are worn by the lady
Of fashion and distinction.

HE IS GROWN UP
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For the past eight or nine
months have been going with
a fine, clean-cut girl a couple of
years younger than 1 am. She is
a real pal and friend in every
way. We have congenial tastes,
are both fond of sports and the
Out-Of-dOOrS. neglected to say
I'm FL and a college student.
MY mother now wants me to
give up this girl. as she says I'm
too young to know my own mind
or tastes. She has nothing against
the girl, and Just disapprOves of
my going with a girl on general
principles. JACK"
It's pretty hard for some women
to realize that the time invariably
comes in a boys life when the
skates and express wagons, and
even the football, are not enough.
With college girl age, there are
girls to be taken into considera.
ton. And if a mother is really
wise, she would be glad that the
favored girl is fine and clean-cut,
such as you describe this one to be,
and fond of sports and the out-of,
doors.
Your mother is concerned, sup.
pose, with the thought that your
attentions to this girl will keep
you from your studies. And you
want to take this angle of the case
into consideration, too.
1t costs heap of money to go to
college.

radio asserted, while loyalist and

The Salamanca radio said a
British steamer transporting 100
artillery guns and other munitions
from Russia was captured by the
insurgents. Names Of none Of the
ships were given.
Madrid Counts Gains
Continued government successes
in northwestern Madrid, scene of
q four-weekS struggle for the capi-
tai, were announced IN an official
conmunique issued at Valencia.
An insurgent column was AN
initiated" near Villareal on the
Basque front as government forces
pressed forward six miles, the an
nouncement asserted. A huge
quantity of ammunition was re-
ported taken in leyalist advance
at FL Llano, near Grado, also along
the Bay of Biscay coast.
The civil population Of Grade,
near beleaguered Oviedo, has been
evacuated. An earlier announce
ment said loyalistS captured seven
machine guns, 10000 cartridges,
and gained several hundred yards
in the San Martin de Burulos sec

Under the constitution OF IIlS
British Empire the King is COM
PEELED to follow the dictates OF his
ministers.
May Shatter Precedent
Should King Edward refuse to
do so and persist in taking Mrs.
Simpson as his queen in spite OF
the cabinets avowed opposition to
such a step, he will not only shat
ter precedent but openly break
with his ministers. This would ne"
cessitate Baldwin's resignation
and the Kings selection OF a new
prime minister. The cabinet then
selected would have to go before
the people of the country in a gen.
eral election for a vote OF con-
fidence.
Should this not be forthcoming,
the only apparent step for King
Edward to take would be to abdi-
cate his throne.
No Middle Course
Under present law, Baldwin
stated, Mrs. simpson auCoIlaCl-
cally becomes Queen of England If
King Edward marries her.
There is, he said, no middle
course, no compromise.
The wife of the King, regardless
of birth, nationality or other con-
siderations, is Queen in name and
in fact.
She enjoys all royal rights and
prerogatives. Her children are
automatically those in succession
to the throne.
