on the home. They built a dining
room set consisting of a table and
four chairs. They also built a large

more is a class at Wilson.-Joyce

Mrs. Griffin. our teacher, read us
a book by Kate Serdey. The name
of it was The Good Master" 1t
is a story of a Hungarian girl. I
recommend that children looking
for a good book read THE Good
Master. Phyllis Smith.
In its study of Colonial life Mr.
Montague's fifth grade class is max
ing trenchers, candles and dolls
The trenchers are dishes followed
out of wooden blocks, which the

HATS AND ELEVATORS

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"ShOuld a man remove his hat in
a public elevator when there are
ladies present?
IF man is having dinner i'm a
tea room, restaurant, and SO forth,
and a lady, whom he does not
know, has to sit at his table be-
cause of a crowd, should he al
ways stand until she is seated, or
does that hold good only in a
more private dining-rOOm?
&C."
In public elevators elevators in
office buildings, for instance-men
usually do not remove their hats.
This is, of course. common sense,
since most business elevators are
so crowded.
Usually, too. men do not remove
their hats in elevators in stores
and shops, although, if you OBJ
serve, well-bred men do remove
their hats in store elevators if the
the elevators are not crowded.
But in a private elevator-an
elevator in an apartment house, in
a hotel, in a club, or in house
where there are women present, a
man removes his hat.
When the man does not know
the woman assigned a place at
his table in restaurant he does
not rise.

she was.
With Medical Advice

and went on a five-day liquid diet.
watching her calories closely after
this. She had a daily massage
rather than exercise, as she is al.

face, hair and makeup. The red.
ness was taken out of her skin
with facial masks, and she even
had q mild facial peeling, done
with mineral salts-the formula
secret. The texture of her skin
was much improved thereby, too.
After that it was a simple task
to have her hair done more be-
comingly, and to have a perfect
makeup for her new beauty. It's
simply q matter of keeping It all
UP now. The whole thing tooK

Fashion Notes
From Paris

Word from Paris comes that
every other hat seen in smart
places floats a veil. Wells in
themselves are certainly no longer
news, but new ways to wear
them come in like spring breezes
from the smart milliners. At the
Sunday race course in Auteuil,
one sees three-cornered felt in
black with a white-dotted black
veil draped at the top and falling
on each side of the cheeks.
Another hat, in red felt, turned
up on one side, is belted with a
similar veil which comes down
all around over the face and
back Of the head. Most delightful
Of all, is Agnes beret type which
has length of lace yelling about
one and one-half yards long.
fastening down the hat over the
ears and tied in a plain bow
under the chin.
The idea of bows made o.
mesh and lace yelling can be
used in different ways. Sally Vic
tor used wide mesh yelling over
open-crown hats Of natural straw
and flourishes a wide bow at the
back which falls over the brim.
There are endless ways of using
wells in this best Of romantic
seasons, and the smart thing
seems to be to buy your own
yelling and dress up your Sprin'
hats to your own fancy.

Latest news from Paris Is OF
the 48 costumes which Mainbocher
is making for her trousSeau. Al
though they were especially de-
signed for her, they are clothes
that would be becoming to almost
any American woman. They are
all in excellent taste, and they
have special things about them
that appeal to us all. So they are
well worth studying.
Many JeweIIed Clips
There is a clear-cut slimness to,
most of these costun that is
attractive and is flattering to
most women. None Of the lines
are fussy, though there is enough
detail and trimming to make the
clothes interesting. Many costumes
are designed with neckliries that
call for jewelled clips, which sug-
gest the possibility Of much copy
ing here in America. ...
ScarfS are worn with tailored
clothes, and sometimes with eve
ming things. Many evening gowns
have matching gloves, made of
the same material there is
another grand copyable idea. One
ankle-length evening gown OF
violetblue taffeta looks really
smart. It is fitted through the
hips, quite full below. Mrs. War
field has good ankles, by the way.
Blue FavOrite Color
Blue is the favorite color all
through this collection, as it Is in
the clothes made for her by Schia-
pareln. It is said that at least 10
different shades of blue, most If
them with a tinge of violet, are
used. There are some sports
clothes in yellow, and others in
red and white again good colors
for us to copy.
Mrs. Warfield favors off-face
hats, and there are some quite at
tractive ones being made for her.
One has cornfloWers under the
brim, at the side. She also has
some nice berets, worn on the side
Of the head.
Juliana Reduces
Now for what is said to be the
inside story on the Identification
of Juliana, the Dutch Princess,
who took off 80 pounds in two
months, and who returned from
her honeymoon generally more
beautiful.
The story comes to us through
Alice Hughes, of the New York
American, who says she got it
from a very confidential and I'M
Improbable source. Juliana had
to get away from her mothers
apron strings to accomplish her
SHINING and sprucing up, and SO
