curb their raptures in front of jewelers.
windows when they are out walking
with their beaus.
But a florists window is different.
I don't like to see a girl hint too
broadly for bouquet I don't like
her to force her escort into the posi-
ton Of having to buy her posy or
look like a piker. But I do think a
girl has every right to express her
dislike Of orchids, and her devotion
to violets. let's say. If the lad ever
should decide to send her a floral
tribute, he might as well get the right
kind. There's no place like a flower
shop window at which to make this
clear
She might just stop and say, ooh,
what lovely sweetheart roses. You
know, I think they are my favorite
flower :. except maybe gardenias
It's nice for the man, because then
he can be terribly proud of himself
for remembering a chance remark
when her birthday rolls around and
he sends her sweetheart roses.
That's not really gold digging. It's
just being helpful. JEAN.

across her stern. Friday, Of Whining
ton" The next moment all that
was left of her were few floating
timbers. 1t is pretty safe to say that
the strong minded Captain Harvey did
not repeat his defiance Of supersti-
ton!
Few marriages are celebrated on
Friday. In Spain and Mexico, how
ever, the unlucky day is said to bs
Tuesday, and popular jingle, freely
translated. warns one against being
married. going on a voyage, or even
leaving the house on that day. Un-
lucky days have been spoken of and
believed in as far back in history AZ
one may delye. They are not all Fri
days or Tuesdays. OF course, but in
the Sad records one finds mention OF
specific dates which were said TO be
of evil omen.
AN OLD Saxon manuscript saws
that there are three days in the
years which are dangerous to the
blood of man or beast" These in
cluded the last Monday in April, the
second Monday in August and the
first Monday after the 18th of De-
cember. According to the manuscript,
He who on these days reduces the
blood of man or beast. we have heard
that speedily on the first or seventh
day his life he will end Or if his
life be so longer that he come not TO
the seventh day, or if he drink some
time in these three days. he will end
his life. and he that eats of goose
flesh within 40 days space his life
he will end
I must say the geese must have re-
garded these periods as anything but
unlucky days!
Many people think that l3 Is a
lucky number for them, rather than
one that will bring them unpleasant
ness. But there are few that regard
Friday as a particularly lucky day
and when it comes together with 13,
even they are apt to sit up and take
notice a bit.
I'm not particularly superstitious-
but Id just as soon not have a black
cat cross my path on my way home
tonight!

perstition prophesies for those who
undertake a journey on that day is
traceable to the fact that 1t was origi-
nally sacred to the goddess, who re-
sented the lack of homage indicated
by any action taken on that day not
directly in reverence to her. On such
daring souls Freya was supposed to
bring misfortune as punishment.
Later on, this special aura surround
ing Friday was kept alive by the fact
that it Is associated with the Passion
Of Christ. and is day Of abstinence
in certain religions, which in itself sets
it apart.
A N INTERESTING story is told of a
sea captain, who, intolerant Of
the general superstition regarding Fri
day, determined on bold stroke to put
an end to what he termed sheer non
sense. His name was Isaac Harvey. so
I am informed. and he laid the keel of
a brig on a Friday. That night his
wife had dream. and strongly urged
him to destroy the first framework.
and lay the keel anew on a Saturday.
This he refused to do. and out of plain
perversity, 1t is said. named the brig
Friday" outf1tted her on a Friday.
and sent her out under command of
one OF his best captains on Friday.
A week from that day when she
first set sail, the story goes on, in
the midst of terrific storm, another
ship, homeward bound, saw brig
pitching heavily in the troughs of
the sea. She seemed a complete
wreck. and as a great wave crashed
over her and rolled her under. those

Clingingt to

BY EMILY POST.

YEAR MRS. POST: am giving
party called a dessert bridge
This type Of party seems to be very
popular in this community, in which
I have not lived for very long At
every dessert bridge I have been to
since 1 came the hostess serves cock
tails In the living room and then
asks us into the dining room for a
dessert and coffee To me this seems
q curious time to serve cocktails. just
after lunch which we've had at home
Do you think I should omit the cocktail
as would like to, or do you think !
should fall in step with local custom?
Answer-To make any change in
the customs Of community in which
you are stranger is seldom a wise
thing to do and yet I agree with
you thoroughly. I can't imagine any,
thing more inappropriate than the
serving of cocktails between courses.
Certainly it would seem better to serve
port or liquors after the dessert with
your black coffee--as is the conven-
tional thing to do-but perhaps not
a wise thing to do while you are a
stranger.

little play suits. They will love to
dress up in these. for what child does
not like to wear long skirt, and make
believe she is grown-up lady!
Then there is the further extreme
Of diminutive fashion in the shirred
cotton elastic bathing suits, that in
the smallest sizes seem only as big as
a pocket handkerchief as you see
them on the counters before they are
stretched out to size one to four. All
the shops have these, priced at about
81. Often they give multicolored ef-
fects as the printed fabric is COM
pletely shirred in two directions on
elastic threads There are suspender
straps over the two shoulders that
cross in the back.
In one shop they have two-piece
outfits that they. call "sun-sembles, ;"
with lasteX shirred cotton pants, and
a separate shlrtwaist with high neck,
collar and sleeves and a shirred belt.
These serve for both sun and sea
The two pieces are sold separately at
Sl.65 each. The materials are in pas-
tel colors with little animal motifs
In white.
THE sun suits are the most pictur-
eSque among childrens play
clothes The toddlers go in for small
prints in a big way. Apples, hearts
and flower pots are appliqued on, like
patch pockets, and there are often
matching sunbonnets. Some outfits
have open-legged shorts and others
have panties with elastic around the
legs. especially in the smaller sizes.
Sun suits are made in many mate
rlals, cotton broadcloths, crinkle
crepes. shantungs. There is a cum
ming model that comes with a small
pair of sunglasses tucked in the
pocket, that would certainly appeal to
any child. Polka dotted cottons are
trimmed with white ricrac braid:
f1owered prints have ruff1es of eyelet
embroidery over the shoulders and
even at the sides of the boomers to
give them butterfly perkiness
Matching Sunbonnets have embroidery
frills.
Overalls are very popular in the
small sizes. All shops have lots of
them in both light and dark blue
denim and with or without shirts.
Those with plaid gingham shirts are
attractive. The overalls have two
pockets in the apron bib and two
more at the hips.
Short overalls of the Tyrolean type
are new. They are about knee length
and allow for nice sunburn on the
legs and are especially good for the

dren's and grown-ups alike, are noted
peasant influences, so that our re-
sorts this summer should resemble

The dirndl. with its full-gathered
skirt, is particularly suited to slender,
childish figures. Some of the incest
sports clothes for young girls of 10
to II and on into their teens, are of
this type, with dress and shorts in
one piece made of striped or small
figured prints with a full-gathered
skirt that ties in the front. 1t goes
on and of in jiffy and serves many
purposes. Usually there is a match
ing scarf for the head.
NEW in bathing suits for the small
fry" are sleek satin lastex. just
like big sisters in their ability to hug
little bodies snugly. Attractive ones in
white have diagonal designs of green
palm trees, and others have lively red
Holsters against white background.
A few of these were shown last season,
but the price was a little too high
for most mothers. This year they
range in price from two dollars to
four. Thin weight, one-piece woolens
are always good for the beach and are
priced as low as S8 cents. Children
should have several bathing suits so
that there will always be one dry when
needed
There are the usual terry cloth
beach robes. New for the "teeners"
are some lovely ones in odd shades of
blue and rose in a plain cotton ma
ter1al with white chenille stripes
woven like a bedspread In both
vertical and diagonal stripping they
are most effective. In the junior de-
partment you will also find large.

Straw coolie hats for juniors come in
