The Girl in Red Never Luck!

OE betide any devils, littl or
big, who may have strayed
over to this country from
China. And if there are Chinese
devils at all it wouldn't be sur-
prising if they had arrived in the
Mall Joni; boxes which have been
pouring in upon us. You see a
Chinese devil cannot abide the
sight of red. It disturbs him so
tint he usually flees at the sight
of it. That is why the Chinese
themselves use so much red—red
temple roofs. red lacquer tables
and chairs. red lanterns. red pen-
nants and banners—not from any
more primitive fondness for the
color. but to safeguard themselves
against these devils and all their
works. .
It would be a neat little prob»
ion in fashion influence to deter-
mine iust why read has become
so fashionable in Paris and this
country at precisely the some time.
Are we simply following the lead
of France? . Probably not in this

Red evening frocks are de-
cidedly in evidence these days——
with red velvet. leading. A few
years ago our daughters were
teasing and signing for black
dance frocks. Now they are
clamoring for red, and the theory
has been formulated in more than
one young mind that a girl, no
matter how shy or timid. never
lacks for partners if she wears a.
red frock. '
The red evening frock is com.
merited on in France. One espe-
cially noteworthy is of red chiffon
with a slightly flaring skirt edged
with long fines of red and purple
ostrich. -
In Washington some interests in
red evening gowns is perhaps due
to the fact that Mrs. Coolidge has
on more than one occasion been
seen in flame or poinsettis red.
So far no one shade of red seems

squares and right angles

contemplating the new fabrics.
For plaids and squares galore are
among them and dressniukers and
milliuers have started in using
them for clothes to be worn in late
winter and spring.
if you have an impulse to wear
plaid, it is bespto obey that im—
pulse right now. while the fad is
still young. Possibly plaids will
become a little too usual. And
besides, experience shows that
plaids never look right or feel
right after warm weather. At
least that is true of the striking
plaids. and the fads of the hour
are striking.

pleasant dark green. with quite a.
bit of yellow in its makeup. a.
medium yellow. 3 dark blue. not
quite navy. and a strong but not
violent red. There is much com-
bining of these colors with black.
The quality of these colors in
the real Scotch materials is some—
what dependent the fact that
the fabric is woo . VExactly the
same tones can never be repro-
duced in silks. much less in linens
or bottom. Still there are plaid
taffetas to be reckoned with for
spring. some of them following the
Scotch traditions. In one chsrm-
ing little plaid silk frock the pat—
tern was picked out on the skirt
and bodice by means of glass beads
exactly matching the silk over
which they were sewed.
The sport frock is really the
best medium for the plaid. De-
spite the fact that the Scotsman
wears his plaid in thick pluits we
do best when we use plaid along
straight lines. \Ve get into dif—
ficulties as soon as we depart from
the utmost simplicity in using it.
Hence it is best adapted to the
simplest of all our clothes—our
sport clothes. The sketch shows
this simple use of plaid kushs.
combined with solid color for
pinning at the hem and sleeves.
and for the collar and tie.

W really quite happy if his
wife earns more than he
does? Quite recently a. popular
writer in a popular magazine-—

there and everywhere‘who second
the motion—likewise many
women. Some of them even as—
sume the pose that the only reason
they don't put their talents to ac-
count and earn more than their
husbands is because they are
afraid that in so doing they would
rob them of happiness. K pose of
that sort, I should think. would
be even more distressful to the
average husband than the con-
sclousness that the wife actually
does earn more than the husbsud.
Of course a. man is robbed of
one of his reasons for presuming
to regard} himself as "head of his
own house." when the wife con~
tributes more than he to house-
hold expenses.
Still if women frequently rise
above this handicap. assuming tife‘
post of head of the family, though
they contribute not a. sou in actusl
cash to its maintensnce. why

others really thrive on them. One
woman discards all her heavy sil—
ver toilet table accessories. brush,

sive set of white cellulaid. because
she learns that "silver toilet arti-
cles are not being used." Present-
ly she hears that tortoise shell sc-
cessories of this sort are the ist—
est fed and she does not rest con-
tent until she has acquired this
sort and put the white set in the
guest room. .

ered quite the smartest material
for bureau and dre‘ng table sc-
