''Margery's NICE" Vicky said
slowly.
"And you're adorable, only you
have those Herrendeen eyes that
you must remember to keep open,"
Magda said lovingly. "Did you get
yourself some lovely things in Par

"Some. Not expensive. But I

Convent-bred, and with an instinc-
tive distaste for Ferdy and for Fer
dy's world, yet she knew that she
must either meet him halfway with
flattery and Righteousness, submit
to kisses and embraces, concede
him condolences and little harmless
intimacies, or he would not like her
at all. On the very first evening
Magda told him good-naturedly that
he must stop carrying on with her
daughter.
The idle days began to go by.
Victoria wondered what she was to
do with the endless line of them that
stretched ahead. For a week she
enjoyed the new life lazily; then
quite suddenly the whole thing be-

GRADUATES SHOULD
THINK OF GLOVES
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

Gloves have always been a mark
of sophistication. If this years crop
of sweet girl graduates realized
that, there would be a rush for
the glove counter. Most of the time,
we are so concerned over the big
items, like the dress, that we forget
about the things that go-with, those
little tell-tale touches.
Most schools require simple,
youthful white dress. The majority
of these are the short-sleeved, gar
den-party variety. In the prep and
high schools, they are almost infor-
NAL evening dresses. Such formal
ity with no gloves? Your hands will
look much prettier when accepting
your diploma if they are well gloved
in snow-white glace kid. There is
such variety of little short formal
gloves in the shops that you should
have fun choosing the pair that
particularly suits your dress.
And don't forget gloves for the
spring proms. It's not so much
the basic costume as the finishing
that makes a well-dressed woman.
Gloves are indispensable to even
the most divine evening dress. Nude
hands are fast fading out of the
picture. You must look feminine and
romantic these days. And don't you
feel a lot more dressed up when
you wear gloves? You can indulge
your taste for long ones or very
short ones as both are correct.

It's daisy, she is daisy-get-
ting our pronouns somewhat con-
fused-but perhaps it would be bet
ter to study this picture of modish
young miss and figure it out for
yourself. The soft white petals with
fluffy yellow gold centers of the
most American of flowers, form the
crown of a charming hat by Jean
King. A rough natural straw braid
of circular weave is the brim, and
the hat is worn tilted slightly over
one eye. A Victorian scroll mono
craft pin beautifully wrought in
gold, tunes to the glinting gold high
lights in the straw of the hat as it
clasps a sweetly feminine jabot
made of the daintiest of dainty val
edging. The secret that the young
woman pictured would tell you is
that carefully selected fiattering ac-
cessories play big part in the fine
art of dress.

CHAPTER III

Her mother was not happy. Gal
liant and smiling, keeping a brave
front to the world, Magdas soul was
trying to feed itself on husks. What
she told Victoria of the last few
years was story of establishment
and loneliness, in setting OF lux
ury, travel, extravaganza.
Biarritz had been dull, London
dull, Paris dreadful, Rosarios down
in Buenos Aires, where Ferdy's
Spanish mother and Spanish sisters
lived, had been insufferable.
perhaps I oughtn't to tell you
this, Vicly. But the beginning of
it all going wrong was of course
that there were always other wom-
en-. His wife was only to wear the
Jewels and be introduced to all the
business friends, big German and
Spanish cattle men, scores of
them! The wife is figurehead after
the first year. If she has sons, and
keeps the peace with his family, and
forgives him everything, the man is
pleased with her. If she gets tenn
peramental, tries to assert hel self,
he is annoyed. But he goes his own
way just the same"
Victoria looked thoughtful, her
fine dark brows drawn together.
"You oughtn't to stay here"
"Where," Magda asked simply,
sought we go?"
The summer idled itself into au-
tumn, and Victoria and Magda went
down to the shore again. This time
they had the smartest cottage at
the lodge, and the beautiful Mrs.
Manners was much admired and
entertained. Mr.. Manners, she ex-
planned to everyone, with flash
OF white teeth, was fishing for steel
head up in the Klamath. Every
hostess told Victoria's mother that
she had wonderful man" for her
as a dinner or bridge partner, but
Victoria noticed that Magda found
none of them really wonderful.
In October Ferdy went off on
somebody's yacht for six weeks. He
seemed little guilty about it and
gave Victoria a large check "to
waste in New York" Later she
suspected that his twinges of con-
science were because the yachting
trip that he had mentioned as in
volving only "a few fellers' actually
included the owners wife, another
woman, and the ubiquitous May.
Magda did not know that. or Vic
toria believed and hoped she did
not.

with demure square neckline In
front and cunning short puff sleeves.
Not that all party dresses are full
skirted, but the fragile sheers ana
gay silk prints certainly do make
up beautifully in full-skirted YER
sions. ,'
The gown to the right and to the
left in the picture demonstrates the
effectiveness of sheer material for
the evening mode. The lovely sum-
merry redingote model shows up the
exuuisiteness of transparent mate
rails to a nicely. It is designed OF
two tones of chiffon-green over vel
low, with ties at the neckline and
back waistline. A brown orchid cor
sage adds the final accent to an
artful color study.
If there is one type of dress that
is running away with the honors
more so than the redingote styles 1t
is the bolero costume. Not only are
the redingote and the bolero Inn
portant daytime features but they
are just as significant throughout
the evening HlOue. mere, W Tic lCAs
in the picture, is lovely bolero
dress for summer night, moonlight
dancing under the stars. White silk
maruuisette is the chosen medium
for this pretty ensemble. Large
floral appliques on the bolero and
the skirt add color glory to the
scene.
Silk sheers featured for evening
gowns are also suggested in dark
colors, the latest being bold and
glamorous plaid transparencies or
stripes if you prefer. Triple sheers
are also shown in luscious plain col
ors or in exotic prints. Some of the
silk marquisettes are fock-dotted or
embroidered.
Clever and ornate trimmings that
accent the width of swirling hem
lines include bands of contrasting
colors, full stiff ruchings, borders
of delicate lace, sprays of natural
looking flowers positioned effective
ly, also scalloped or picoted edges.

Wards and yards ana yards OF
L enhancing silk sheers will go
floating and billowing through the
evening mode this summer. Airy
fairy, vaporous, frothy and trans
parent tulles, nets, organzas, chlf-
fons, marquisettes, mousseline de
soies and other as filrny fabrics
have an Importance this season
such as they have not achieved In
years.
The vast yardage that goes into
the making of the new romantic full
skirted dance frocks is almost I'M
believable. Certain Paris dressmak-
ers are using as much as forty
yards for a single gown-the type
(slim bodice and voluminous skirt
over stiff petticoats) that Gus mod
erns' regarded as belonging to
quaint century-past scenes, but
scarcely expected to see revived in
our own day and generation. Yet
here they are dancing before your
very eyes into the current style pic
ture.
The skirts of these picturesque
gowns vary, from floor-touching to
the very new ballerino type. Moth
ing in the way Of dance frock
so startled the world of fashion this
season as the appearance of the
waltz frock which Schiaparelli
brought forth. Now that we are
getting used to the. idea. this SOU
brette silhouette which caused such
a sensation at the openings is de-
veloping into a big vogue among
the younger dancing set. The frock
conferred in the group illustrated
plays up the new favorite. It is
made of white mousseline de sole
exquisitely detailed with tiny tucks
on the waist and wee buttons that
fasten at the back.
Some of the more informal waltz
frocks are often of printed silk with
perhaps shirred fullness at the waist
line like a girdle or with f1aring
pleats in the peasant skirt. The
bodice is neat and slim at the waist

the course of the day, and some
times not. Quite often they dined
at the same house, but the dinners
were large, and Ferdy went to them
before Magda did, explaining per-
haps to a servant that he was meet
ing some friend first at the club for
preliminary cocktails, and Magda
always went late, in great state, in
her beautiful car with her own driv-
err. So that even then they had no
moment together.

How CARDUI
Helps Women

Cardui is purely vegetable medi-
cine, found by many women to ease
functional pains Of menstruation. It
also helps to strengthen women, who
have been weakened by poor nour.
ishment, by increasing their appetite
and improving their digestion. Many
have reported lasting benefit from
the wholesome nutritional assist
ance obtained by taking Cardui. If
you have never taken Cardui, get a
bottle of Cardui at the nearest drug
store, read the directions and try it.

Women on Juries

Twenty-one states and the Dis
trict of Columbia now call women
for jury service. In nine states,
California, Indiana, Kentucky.
Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wiscon-
sin, the duty is compulsory, and
women render service on the
same terms as men. In ten states,
Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas,
Louisiana, Nevada, North Dakota,
Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, and
Washington, and in the District Of
Columbia, their service is per-
missive.

Drought backed up the efforts of the AAA. Now
meat prices are SO high that complaints are grow
ing serious. They are high Notwithstanding, state
ments that the peak had been reached and that
prices would fall.

sition that beef is becoming too expensive to eat,
that hight ackers are plundering precious ship

and beef cut prices are so high that restaurants
report they lose money every time they serve a

Housewives are turning to vegetables and fish
to budget their menus"
In New York 5000 kosher butcher shops have
threatened to close their doors in concerted protest
over high wholesale meat prices, the Associated

Not only beef, but pork, veal, poultry and dairy
butter have been rising. The governments men
blamed the conditions ON the droughtS of 1885 and

ter of COWS and hogs. The federal policy Of COM
modify curtaimcnt has also had influence on
meat prices.
The retail meat dealer suffers under the condi-
of business he needs to do. He must buy carefully
ror his trade. He must shave his profit in order
to move his supplies. 1t is no fault Of his that he
is charging high prices, TO fault of his that his
relative profit is smaller.
