They are decidedly new looking
and dramatic. One of the favor
ties is of life-size tulips in red
and shaded white with their own
green leaves, appearing on
charming daytime dress with
black as the foil to their brilliant
colorings. Equally smart is an
evening dress in white with pink
and blue hydrangeas strewn over
it. Flower themes are a furor,
but all over printed designs are
equally fashionable and appeal to
many women who make a study
of their fashions.
The soft-looking printed dress
on this page, is an example of the
use of brilliantly contrasted colors
in a maze of design. Here beige,
bright red and clear blue are
skilfully used to obtain the de-
sired effect. The maker has
adroitly used banding of the blue
to dramatize the print and give
accent to the entire costume
This appears on the sash and the
hem of the gown, and sets the
color for the patent leather san
dals in the new cut-out effect.
The draped turban, too, is of the
blue. 1t is distinguished example
of the close-fitting hat of the
season which requires height by
the clever use of it's own fabric.
The dress has several style
points to which women on the
alert for new trends in fashion
will give heed. One is the length
of the sleeve which in spite of

Should the woods used in Gre

shaggy surface, it is well to use
a small, fairly stiff brush when
they are dry. This will raise the

Turbans open at the top are
one of the most successful of the
new millinery innovations. These
twisted fabric affairs are the es-
sence Of chic, and are wonder

not like prints. for the
textile designers have
outdone themselves in
the variety of their pat
terms, and the dress
makers have used
prints both knowingly
and with enthusiasm.
Flower prints and
colors are scarcely
news at this time, but
their appeal is peren-
nially refres hing.
There's a tendency to
accent the flower motif
by corsages of similar
flowers on the frocks,
and by hat trimming
that teens with the
flower theme. Tiny hats
are set off by up-stand-
ing bouquets of vari-
ously colored flowers,
and the effect is really
delightful.

SHOULD KNOW BETTER

When Officer Kuhns pinned a
ticket on Mrs. Roper's car, he knew
that the car he tagged was either
a Cabinet car or the car of some
one almost equally prominent. Cars
that rate high in the government
always get the low numbers from
the city license clerk.
Most officers will tell youth the
neighborly privacy of a ride home
together on a bus-that any Off
Ger who tags car bearing a low
license number ought to know bet
ter. 1t always brings trouble. 1t
nearly always makes news in the
papers, and long after the incident
is forgotten it will be remembered
that the officer tagged Cabinet
car.
After the story got into the pa
pers, Mrs. Roper insisted that she
wasn't concerned about the ticket
but that the precinct captain and
Officer Kuhns were discourteous tc
her when she went in to get an
explanation of why a ticket had
been put on her car. The captain
said he wasn't discourteous and sc
did Officer Kuhns.

1t is no trivial affair to pin a

Mrs. Roper said that for 20 years
she had been shopping at certain
market and for the past IA years
had been parking her car when

drove their trucks to the rear OF
