California Harmony

WT ITH so much smart color
w on your table, it's some
times hard to match up your
colors. Blues, rusty tones, reds,
greens all vary considerably
and you can spoil the whole
effect by not having the right
colors together. Knowing this,
one clever manufacturer of
colorful pottery has m a d e
ivory dinnerware in patterns
and cOlors to harmonic with
the pottery. 1t all comes from
California, and gets its name
from there, California Har-
mony." There are four pat
terms, to blend with four pot
terry colors, burnt nge,
green, blue or yellow. Then
there are glasses of all kinds
to match, too. I particularly
liked the deep blue, with pot
terry and glassware to match,
and the dinnerware decorated
in a rather conventional de-
sign. The burnt orange, green
and yellow are colorful and
interesting, too, the green par
ticularly cool for summer. A
set of 76 pieces is $3.50, and
you can buy as much or as

But to return to the homely
girls who got their men-these
ladies were stand-patters as to
looks. Stringy hair, poor com

cepted, even as death and taxes.
Even Mama, if she has touched

dark ages when there were no
beauty parlors. And it wasn't
considered quite nice for a girl
to reveal her ankles, or quite

lots and lots of other things.

one of these.
PARLOR TRICKS
But even the average boarding
house had it's full quota of 70

of the question is self-evident. The
blouse, the skirt and the jacket
may be worn separately, which
means that any number of changes
are possible, being just what is a
most needful virtue for school togs.
The simplicity and practically
of the blouse-and-skirt two-piece to
the right is a big argument in its
favor. This crocheted suit for the
grammar school Miss is real find
when it comes to appropriate dress
for play or for classroom. The
blouse contrasts the dark skirt
which is in keeping with the pres
ent style trend to bring out striking
color effects. The wide sailor collar
provides a nautical touch. The gay
tassel tie gives a final flourish to
this most attractive back-to-school
dress which is so easily crocheted
of mercerized knitting and crochet
cotton. We almost forgot to mention
the browning glory of the e
crocheted garments - they wash
perfectly and with as little trouble
as gingham, a pique or any wash
fabric.
Picture for yourself little daugh-
ter clad in cunning print such as
the little girl conferred in the pic
ture is wearing. The grand thing
about dresses made of the new
prints this season is that it is per-
fectly safe to buy the correct size
for no longer does one have to al
low for shrinkage. That is, if the
fabric is one of the newer prints

ming practical and as attractive as

every mother knows much of the
poise and happiness of little girls
in the classroom depend upon the
feeling of self confidence which
pretty frock inspires.
To help in this matter of apparel
ling little daughter to a nicely here
are two suggestions we have to
offer-knits and prints. Perhaps it
would be more accurate to say
crochets as well as knits for as
much crocheting is being done
these days as knitting. Simply a
matter of choice. To emphasize
the vogue for crochets and prints
we are showing three as cunning
classroom outfits as ever a fond
mother might hope to include in a
little girls clothes collection.

crocheters who feel the urge to
copy this most attractive outfit we
are telling you that the stitch is
very simple and goes like light
ming when once you get started. The
skirt has cores of the lighter blue

THE FIRST PLATFORM

NNE of the essentials of mod
~ ern political convention is the
adoption of a platform" upon
which the Presidential nominee is
to "take his stand during the
campaign. Whether or not he
stays on it is quite another mat
ter but few candidates would think
of going before the 'peepup' with
out one.
The first platform appeared dur
ing the campaign of 1910. In that
wear the Democrats, holding their
convention in Baltimore, set forth
what they considered the funda-
mental principles O. their party.
Asserting that the federal govern
ment was one of strictly limited
powers and that all grants not ex-
pressly made to it were reserved
to the states, this platform
Declared against the assumption
of state debts, contracted for To-
cal improvements, by the federal
government.
Denied the power of the federal
government to foster one industry,
or section, to the detriment of an
other.
Asserted that the federal govern
ment exceeded its authority when
it raised more revenue than was
required to defray the ordinary ex-
penses of administration.
Denied the power of congress to
interfere with or control the insti-
tuition of slavery.
Declared against the handling
of public funds by private banks.
Denounced restrictions upon the
privileges of citizenship and of
ownership of land with respect to
foreign immigrants.
They then unanimously renomi-
mated Martin Van Buren, for the
presidency and got ready to fight
the battle of ballots along the lines
of policy they had laid down. But
il they expected their opponents
TO meet them on that ground they
were grievously disappointed The
Wings not only failed to adopt a
platform but they failed to put
forth any statement of principles
for the very good reason that they
didn't have any. They disregard

their whirlwind "Tippecanoe and

firm on their platform and watched
