~ ARTS R.-Paris has launched
- the biggest suit season the
fashion world has seen In
Il years.
At recent Spring openings tailored
models were shown for every occasion
from breakfast to supper-the one
clean-cut trend in a widely varied
mode. Many of them are cut with a
staggering, dandified air which lends
q new effect to fashions for 1886.
Jackets are the big news. The
smartest 1886 version is short fitted,
box or swagger model that ends with
the hipbones and is youthful in cut
and effect. Some full-backed, three
quarter length jackets and a number
of hip-length fitted ones appear, but
they are in the minority. The slogan
of the season is brevity even to the
point of Etons and boleros with both
skirts and frockS.
SHOULDERS are bold with Wilderness
- achieved through tucked, gathered
or padded sleeve tops. Skirts are
nearly always slender and straight,
their only departure being in a waist
line which sometimes mounts higher
In front.
Black and navy blue are prominent
colors. So are russell, gray and grayed
greens and blues Beige and brown
have been thrust into the background.
Soft woods and tweedS are favorite
fabrics, with many chicken-foot plaids,
shadow plaids and checks used for
Jackets.
This years suit may combine either
a skirt or dress with jacket which
is often of contrasting material. Rose,
gray and black plaid jacket with a
black skirt, rose linen jacket with a
black wool frock or blue and white
checked jacket with navy dress are
typical combinations.
4 X X
PLOUSES run all the way from
youthful round necked, puff
sleeved models to high-necked Shirt
waists and are made in as great a
variety of materials. Organdy, linen,
figured surah and bright-f Powered
challis are all used with suede and
linen vests added for variation.
Afternoon suits are fashioned of
soft black or navy taffetas or cravat
silks, or printed artificial silks and
surahs stamped with small geometric
patterns combining black with white,
oyster white, pearl gray or pale blue.
Some of the same fabrics, as we'll as
heavy black crepes, are used to make
cocktail and dinner suits with bolero
Jackets and tailored skirts. Some of
them have a decidedly Spanish effect
with colored belts sWathed over
white shirt blouse under bolero
jacket. Others have more formal
air, enhanced by Powered challis or
beaded blouses.

THE name "Kalmiae" gives you
the clue as to the food pref
erence of this moths offspring,
Il the semitic name of the Amer
lean laurel being Kalmia latifolia. In
the months of May and June, when
the lovely laurel is in bloom, peep
under the glossy leaves and there you
will see what a greedy lot the hawk
moths youngsters are
The hawkmoth can be seen in the
Middle States of the Atlantic Coast
region and from Southern Canada to
Georgia.
OF course, the reason for the name
"hawkmoth," is the way these crea-
lures have of darting back and forth,
hawk fashion, after their food.
This member of the Shingidae fam
lily is rather plump. Other members
are smaller. The body, as you can
see, is stout and long enough to ex-
tend beyond the long wings. The
antennae are well developed and so
is the head. The eyes are more prom

inent than in most moths and are
never hairy-what is known as naked.
The hawkmoth, whose maternal
instinct leads her to anchor her eggs
upon the laurel leaf, must know her
own youthful days were spent i'm
bibing the delectable juices of the
leaves, and hiding under the ground
in her cell, at the base of the same
bush, while she awaited her transfor-
nation.
One thing that usually can be
counted on is that the youngsters
are husky lot. They are handsome
in their way, but, of course, there are
some folks who cannot admire a
caterpillar, no matter how gay and
festive his appearance. Yet nature
lover, somehow, wears rose-colored
glasses, thus being blessed, for each
creature takes on a mystic sort OF
halo, once the life story is known.
You will want to try out the ex-
pertinent of tickling the hawkmoth's
offspring. They resent such undue
familiarity by rearing up in the most
amazed fashion and assuming the pos
ture of the Egyptian Sphinx-thus the
family name is explained. They can
hold this position for some time, too.
That shows their ability to concen-
trate Maybe they could not be said
to know anything about this, but they
can do it, nevertheless. Among their
qualities, good and bad, hawkmoth
caterpillars seem to be pugnacious.
Watch them when they meet each
other in a one-way path.
Another thing you will be interested
to know about hawkmoths, and it is
especially true Of this one, is that 1t
flies about in the bright sunshine.

Shabby
BY ANNE CAMPBELL.
VOL think that she Is shabby,

BY ANNE CAMPBELL.
If you think that she is shabby,
It's because you cannot see
The fabric of the shining soul
She hides successfully.
It's true her frock Is three years old
Her hat is out of style,
But have you seen so glorious
A garment as her smile?
And was there ever gown SO fine
As her courageous heart?
There Is no silk so beautiful.
No buyer with an art
To purchase any wearables
Comparing in design
To her clear gaze, when lovingly
Her happy eyes meet mine.
She does so much for other folks!
She never has thought
OF bitterness against the fates
Neglecting one who ought
To be a queen in silk and jewels.
But better far than dress
Is her sweet face, for it reveals
Her inner loneliness!

enough to pull those feathers out.
Instead. she had at once taken up
the matter of a new nest, for al
though it was still cold weather, it
was time to be looking about and
finding where their nest should be.
Mrs. Blacky had mind of her own.
Blacky had found that out long ago.
So when she said that she had an
other place in mind for the new nest
he meekly followed her as she led
the way.
Now Blacky had expected that Mrs.
Blacky would have picked out a tall
tree and that she would plan to build
the nest high up in that tree. In
stead of that, she led him to low
growing hemlock tree with branches
wide-spreading and very close to-
gether. 1t was in part of the Green
Forest where they never before had
built and which they seldom visited.
What do you think of it?" asked
Mrs Blacky.
You mean that you propose to
build in this tree?" asked Blacky.
Certainly" replied Mrs. Blacky.
II dom, think much of it." said
Blacky
why not?" replied Mrs Blacky.
"It isn't tall enough tree" re-
piled Blacky. I'VE always build high"
THAT is no reason why we always
should build high" retorted Mrs.
Blacky.
This will be too easy to get to-"
insisted Blacky.
who is going to get to it?" de-
manded Mrs. Blacky.
"Why-why-anybody who happens
along this way and is curious" re-
piled Blacky
And just who would that be?" de-
manded Mrs Blacky.
To this Blacky was unable to make
reply. so he proceeded to state other
objections.
This isn't a part of the Green
Forest where we ever have lived, so
why should we live here now?" said
he
For the very good reason that no
one is likely to look here for U.s."

How It Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Above Board"

=" A BovE BOARD" which means
honestly, without concealment, is
q gambling metaphor.
In use for many hundreds Of years,
the expression was borrowed from the
parlance of gamesters who, when they
put their hands under the table, could
do things with cards.
Thus "above board" came to mean
Gin open sight," literally "above the
table" and therefore without artifice
or trick.
One Of its earliest appearances in
literature in this sense Is in 1916 in a
work by Beaumont and Fletcher, in the
line:
"Yet If you play not fair play, and
above board, too. have foolish gin
here"

Natures Children
Laurel Hawkmoth (Hyloicus Kalmiae)

moth that, with the aid Of magnify
ing glass, you can see the very long,
hollow-tube tongue thrust into the
flower. When flying, this tongue is
carried coiled up, upper fashion, un-
der the chin.
The exquisite colors Of grays,
browns, olives, rose and yellow blend
perfectly, and when the moth hovers
over a lovely flower, slipping her re-
fresllment, you can easily see why
they have been called fairies, as well
as flowers, of the air.

By redoubling first, and subsequent
ly giving single raise, North showed
a hand which was almost strong
enough for forcing jump bid.
Accordingly. South decided to gamble
on the slam.
West thought he would set the con-
tract, but saw no point in doubling,
since he did not expect to set the
hand more than one trick, while he
might be risking a redouble and
substantial extra score for his oppo-
nentS.
West opened the ace of hearts. De-
clarer ruffed and played two rounds
OF trumbs, West discarding two low
hearts. Now declarer led the five of
spades and West ducked (if West had
gone right up with the ace of spades,
declarer's king-queen of spades would
both have been good, permitting a
diamond discard, and dummys queen
held the trick.
The king of hearts was now played,
and the eight Of spades discarded,
and now the ten of hearts was ruffed
In the closed hand. At this point
declarer simply led the king of spades.
West won with the ace, but was help
less; a heart or spade lead would
allow declarer to trump in his own
hand and discard from dummy. while
o diamond lead would be up to de-
clarers king-jack tenace.
