Honduras Mahogany

Mahogany was first discovered in
Honduras by British woodchoppers
shortly after Jamaica became an
English colony, in 1855. These hardy
woodsmen found their way to the
mainland to obtain logwood, q source
Of valuable dyes.
John Evelyn, In his diary for
April 10, 1872, records that he was
at council preparing instructions
for Col. Stapleton, now to 60 as gov
ernor to st. Christopher's, and heard
complaints of the Jamaica merchants
against the Spaniards for hinder
ing them cutting logwood on the
mainland, where they have no pre-
tense"

wonderful hats shown in the Color
Afiiliates display here. He uses a
new braided straw with great effect,
and combines the chosen colors OF
this showing in daring and very
effective manner. For instance, a
visor cap is blue topped with red
flowers and veil-and looks Simply
beautiful.
Approved Colors
Are Excellent.
And while we're on the subject.
the colors chosen by this group called
the Color Aff1liates are really lovely.
They are co-ordinated in dresses,
hats, shoes, gloves, bags and make
up, thus enabling women to buy
from departments all over the store
and be Sure that the shades match
perfectly. Even the names are in
teresting, for the three pastel shades
are called pink mist, blue haze and
foam green, while the brighter tones
are labeled yippee yellow, scandal
red and blue streak. The showing,
held on the S. S. Brazil, was one OF
the most elaborate and beautifully
done displays we've seen in this town.
The captain positively refused to
set sail while the show was in prog
ress, though we begged our very
hardest!
Incidentally, watch for the arri-
val of a color called Hot Pink"
which is taking this town by storm,
It is neither red nor rose, but a
sort of betwixt and between that is
simply wonderful with gray or blue
or any of the soft shades. There are
clothes in this color all around. and
it seems likely to be one Of the IA
vorites for that much desired bright
tone in the spring.

always f1atter1ng even tnough Iney
make riding three in the front seat
something of a problem. These
huge numbers are on Breton lines
with wide flaring brims that often
sit somewhat precariously tilted, but
seem to stay anchored somehow.
There are engaging bonnets and
though there has been a great deal
of talk about them, we must say
that they appear few in comparison
with the other outstanding styles.
Higher Crown
Presented.
When we dropped into Florence
Reichman salon, it was to see some
of the best looking spring hats that
ever sat at a cock-eyed angle on a
coiffured head. Her suit hats are
especially elegant, with tiny brims
and a new leaning toward higher
crowns. These crowns, incidentally,
are usually at least the height of
your thumb and often q bit higher.
They're likely to be pleated or 9TH
erwise detailed for the utmost in
charm and-we shy at the word
chic. Color is most important and
combinations of several gray tones
make some of the most striking
models. In fact, there are very few
black hats in this collection.
Little flower hats play big part
and are really terrific with simple
frocks-they do wonders to brighten
up that drab and tired winter ward
robe. Flowers used as ornaments
are good and manage not to look
like a walking floral exhibit.
From what we can gather, the
milliners are undergoing a slight
case Of nervous prostration due to
the work and skill required by these
new hats. Straw hats are of hand
sewn braids, finely worked with
chiffon. and there are any, number
OF woven fabrics which are both del
icate and charming. Here, too, back
interest is tremendous-so much so,
In fact, that you'll probably find
yourself nonchalantly trying to. wear
your new hat backwards. But don t
do it..

Chippendale, it is generally

gone up a cent pound. She has
had no interest, no thought, no
pleasure except in her home:
Then her little world falls apart.
The husband dies. The children
marry and set up homes of their
own. Young people no more bring
gayety and laughing and dancing
into the house. There is nobody to
get up good dinners for. There Is
no work to do. Nothing to keep her
occupied. She has given up her
friends long ago. She has never
been interested in any causes" She
is poorer and more unhappy than
the washwoman who scrubs clothes
for a living because she, at least, has
something to do.
One cannot help but feel for these
women some of the contempt one
feels for the spendthrift who has
wasted his fortune in prodigal lv-
ing and then comes begging for
bread. One would like to say to
them: Why in your days of prosper
ity did you not lay up something for
your future? You knew that your
children were bound to grow up and
leave you in a few years. Why, then,
did you not take the trouble to keep
your husband in love with you so
that you would have companionship
when the children had flown the
home nest? Why didn't you keep
in touch with all of your old friends?
Why didn't you join clubs and take
part in civic movements? Why
didn't you cultivate the habit Of
reading? And. above all, why didn' t
you learn to be a good companion
to yourself?
In a word, why didn't you take
out insurance against loneliness and
lack of interest In anything? Why
didn't you think of the future and
prepare yourself for It?

Newest Diet

Safely
Slimming Regime
Based on Health
Is Saner Plan
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

No longer is beauty considered
only skin deep. In fact, every lead
ing beauty authority in this coun-
try Is preaching that beauty begins
with good health and vanishes with
poor health. Your beauty rating
depends upon your measurements,
the sparkle in your eyes. the life
in your hair, the grace of your
movements. So no jar Of cream or
exotic makeup can make you a
beauty. They enhance your beauty
very much, that is true, but 1t takes
concentration on health If you wish
to be numbered among the bellies
Of 1910!
The leading salons Of large cities
twhere women put themselves into
expert hands to be remodeled as
well as reconditione6 all stress the
importance of sufficient exercise and
corrective diets. Before you get a
facial or body massage you are put
through half hour, or hour, of ex-
ercising, and then showered. pant
before you paint" has become a
beauty slogan. and all women would
do well to adopt 1t. After exercis-
Ing you are taught good eating.
This is splendid month. to be-
gin reconditioning program. One
which by spring will bring you re-
newed vitality and more attractive
figure measurements.
You begin, Of course. with a daily
exercise program. This may be sim
ply 2-mile walk each day in the
open air, or 1t may embrace definite
limbering, stretching and reducing
movements done in a well-venti-
lated room at home. OF course, If
you can afford q course of treat
ments in a beauty salon or in q
gymnasium catering to women, by
all means avail yourself of the
expert instruction. You get more
than figure fashioning there, you
get a decided lift to your morale,
which is worth the cost of the treat
ments!
If reducing is your problem you
must watch your menus. Natural
ly the number of calories you con-
sumo should be reduced, but on the
other hand you cannot afford to
starve your body Of needed nourish-
ment. The trick lies in eating of
foods which create vitality, but not
fat, and one Of the leading Fifth
avenue salons has planned such q
diet.
This new Zone Two Three Reduc-
ing Diet" is 50 scientifically planned
that a woman may carry on her
normal daily tasks without taxing
her strength. yet she will lose
weight gradually and sanely. Given
two months and she will not only
be more slim, but she will look
younger. healthier and happier, pro-
viding she rests and exercises suf-
ficiently each day.
