Cottons to Lead
Summer Fabrics
Once Humble Weaves viii
Enter Society.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Bingham, fabric for naive little
country girl wear? Not a bit of it!
This once-upon-a-time humble
weave that so faithfully served in
kitchen and garden and in all places
utilitarian is suddenly putting on
airs, has become a fashion sophisti-
cate. What is true of ginghams is
equally true of cotton weaves in
general, for this summer you will
see cottons of every type entering
society just as confidently and
pridefully as if they were quality
kind woolens or silks or satins.
It's fact, and the big news of
the hour is that the chic of cottons
is being recognized not only for
going-about-town wear but for high
brow party and dine and dance eve
ming wear as well.
To keep up with the smartest
during the coming months you real
ly must go about attending to the
activities of the day in a suit tai
lored of Bingham that reminds you
of the very ginghams you wore in
your childhood days. Your most
stunning gingham is apt to be
simple red and white check. Add
a pretty frilly lingerie blouse and
the picture will be complete.
Here's another thriller in the fash
ion career of cottons:
Gray chambray tailored in dress
or suit to wear during the daytime
rounds about town. Give this the
perfect touch by adding collar and
cuffs of eyelet embroidered pique
and if you are young and petite
throw in an embroidered petticoat
frill for good measure.
Cotton tweed in herringbone
stripe is another exciting discovery.
1t is being made up in long top
coats, jacket-and-suit twosomes.
While it looks just as towrlike and
travellike as anyone could wish, it
has the great advantage of being
tubable. You'll simply love a suit
of navy or black pique.

lar use of a deodorant or non-per-
spirant-there are any number of
relightful pick-ups which make you
look and feel fresher.
A light eau de cologne or toilet
water rubbed over the entire body
will make you feel cool and fresh
and add a fragrant aura to your
comings and goings. 1t will make
you feel luxurious and well-cared-
for although many eau de colognes
and toilet waters are so inexpensive
that they do not properly come
under the heading of luxuries.
And in this battle against per-
spiration, don't forget that your
head, too, perspires more freely in
Summer. Wash your hair oftener
in Summer, if possible every week
or ten days, to prevent that sticky,
stringy look that we see all too
often. Be sure to use a good
shampoo.
Make a complete change of cloth
ing daily. Never put anything
away without airing it thoroughly
overnight. Try to limit your ward
robe to washables so that you will
feel free to wash out whole days
costume after one wearing.
Remember that Cleanliness is
next to Goodness" and while we
can't all be perfect, we can at least
avoid offending in this most unlove-
ly manner.

"lovely lady" types that will
hold the spotlight during the
coming months. Which brings us at
once to the theme of this story-lace,
lovely lace! With the new styles go
ing in so enthusiastically for femi-
nine prettiness in hat, gown and &C
cessories, the logical answer needs
must be lace, as has been the an
swer throughout the centuries of
fashions that have gone before.
With the craze for lace trims on
hats, for billoWy masses of lace at
throat and at wrist, with the return
of the baby waist" that is exquis-
itely sheer and entrancingly lace
trimmed, with tailored laces for
daytime wear, with sheer pleated
laces for dreSs-up wear, with pic
turesque period frocks enchantingly
detailed in lace, with lace playing a
star role in boudoir fashions, with
accessories even to gloves and bags
and boutonnieres of lace, the cur
rent message of lace has become
too vast, too all-inclusive for words.
You just have to let the bigness of
the lace theme grow upon you as the
pageantry of present and coming
modes pass in review.
The important thing to say about
modern laces is that they are so
versatile in character that there's a
lace for every occasion no matter
what the challenge may be. For
that matter it is not an eXaggera-
ton to say that an entire wardrobe
could be planned of lace. There are
fabriclike laces for tailored use,
stunning laces for afternoon frocks,
laces of grand dame elegance for
formal evening wear, sheer laces of
cobweb mesh that pleat up beauti-
fully, two-way stretch laces for bath
ing suits and so on and so on without
end.
The responsiveness of lace to ev-
cry mood of ia ion accounts for
the fact that designers are acquir-
ing the lace habit with an increasing

Feminine Frills
On Shirtwaists

Sportswear is not being neglected,
even among the frills and ruffles of
the majority of feminine clothes,
and the shirtwaist is making a con-
spicuous appearance, changed in
some cases by the addition of pleat-
ed and gathered fullness, but still
basically the same.
In some instances this style is
seen with additional color contrasts,
among them one shirtwaist dress
with rose top and navy skirt, an
other with a pink and white striped
top and pink shirt, and others solid
pastel shirtwaist frocks with con-
trasti Nright cummerbunds

A SPRING SONG


Never before in spring
Has the sky seemed quite so blue
Or the little buds peeping from the
ground
Worn such a gorgeous hue.
Never before in Spring
Has such perfume filled the air
Or the little birds fiuttering by
Heralded days so fair.
For this is the very first Spring
OF all the springs l knew
That my heart could sing song
A song about loving you.
A gay song and a glad song
With a gentle, sweet refrain
That carries my heart a-soaring
To d high and lofty plane.
Oh. never before in Spring
Has there been such a wondrous
moon
For ! cherish within my heart
The hope Of the coming June.
A gay June, and a glad June
That isn't so far away.
When the sun will warm the earth
And GLADDEN. our wedding day.
ELIZABETH.

HERE'S AN OLD ONE G

HERE. - AN OLD ONE on
Ernest Hemingway, but Mr.. Hem
ingway asked that it not be print
ed when it came out about four
years ago. So we waited until
now. 1t seems that certain
fellow in the city was telling
Mr.. Hemingway's sister, also here
for a visit, that Ernest wrote
some of the lousiest, filthiest
novels he had ever read. Now
the Hemingway sister came to
Ernest in tears over the matter.
So Ernest goes out to interview
the gentleman. The gentleman
persisted most heartily in his
opinion and words arose and
finally they started swinging at
each other. Everybody knows
that Huskie Ernest was once a
prize fighter but this gentleman
was in the pink of condition, too,
and Ernest said at the time he
had a heck of a time to get him
down, but he was finally re-
duced to submission with the
Hemingway bludgeons called
fists. So after the fight HEM
ingway invited him to dinner.
The gentleman and his wife came
and spent a hearty evening. just
as they were preparing to depart
the gentleman, nonplussed, in
formed Hemingway again that
his novels were the dirtiest, filth
lest, ETC.. books he had ever
read. what could I do?" Ernest
asked. Here was man telling
me that in my own home after
had beaten him up. So Hem
ingway smiled the CHEEKY, friend
ly Hemingway smile and that
was another incident.
JAKE KLIMO. on the other
side of the Hemingway family,

on the Golden Eagle on his re-
cent cruise to Bahia Honda, Cuba
Jake has quite some experiences
running around the Caribbean in
small and large boats. He &C.
companied Leicester in 16-foot
boat to Cuba on the first Cuba
passage the pair attempted. The
pair took seven days to get to
Havana and believed that at one
time they were over in the re-
gion of the Bahama Islands. Jake
plans to take a trip over there
at some near date in a small boat
also. Jake has recently returned
from a Brooklyn newspaper
where he said he began to feel
as if he were drying up" and
needed the open sea and Key
West again. Key West is his
adopted home, he says.

good catches salvaged from re-
Gently blighted beds, some of the

But the dealers gave them low

Sponger money never done is
an old phrase in Key West be-
cause their money has such a

es have been noted before. But
nothing as widespread as this.
THE TOURISTS are really in
town now. There are redheads
little lap dogs. There
are Georgia peaches with very
smooth compilations. There are
Middlewest people, straight and
sincere. There are Stacks in
every direction in green's and
blues and puppies. There are
enormous sun hats in every color
of the rainbow. Key Westers
have never gotten used to most
of the costumes worn by the
tourists. Key West in the old
days was a very staid place with
plenty of churches and church
going people. Much of the cos
tumery of that era still remains.
So when a gentleman, now in
town, runs around the city in a
bathing suit and a bathrobe, Key
Westers wonder what the world
is coming to. but accept all cheer
fully.
ASK the educated Key Wester
who loves his town just what
the city needs more than any
thing else and he will tell you
leadership. The average in
telligent Key Wester is pretty
frank to admit that he has not
the training or experience to be
UP with the latest ideas and
frankly welcomes suggestions OF
this sort. aOne old Key Wester
told us that Key Westers are not
great leaders, but are very good
followers. It will be UP to the
tourists to tell us what kind of q
place they want and it will be UP
to a few of them to start initiating
good ideas. Key West will fol

reign of pirates, of wreekers, OF

A bill to outlaw discrimination
on the part of companies selling
automobile liability insurance was
introduced in the Minnesota Legis-
lature last week by Senator B. G.
Novak.
In brief the bill provides that:
"No insurance company or its
agent shall refuse to issue policy
of insurance or make discrimina-
tions in the acceptance of risks, in
rates, premiums, dividends or bene-
fits of any kind {. on account of
race and on request of any per-
son whose application for insurance
has been rejected, the company
shall furnish him in writing the
reasons therefor and that such re-
lection was not for any racial
cause"
fragrant Discrimination
Backers of the bill indicate that
there has been fragrant discrimina-
ton for racial reasons against col
ored people seeking insurance. In
st. Paul, Friday, the city council
found it necessary to exempt two
truck owners from insurance re-
quirements established by ordi-
nance because the men could not
