NINE TO FOUR.
I used to think, my boy. like you

'A Wide Band .5 Fur saga the
Hem Line of Many. of the Newest
Dance Frocks.
AS fur first used for adorn-
ment or protection?
This is s question that.
might offer interesting discussion to
students of snthropolgy. It is' no
doubt true that humsn inhabiting of
very cold clinics was inflossibls
until men learned to rob their fur-
bearing neighbors of their decoy
coats. But it is equally true that
primitive mes living in latitudes
,whsre peltr‘y of even the lightest
sort would be e. burden if worn as
s mntter of protection still decked
themselves with animal skins. They
used the bushy tails of wild animals
as adornment. as they doubtless
also did the soups of their human
victims. as silent pledges of their
prowess in the chase or bottle. The
furs of animals were to than: as
purely ornaments! as the plumage
of birds. and the fondness fox-weer-
ing furs must date beck long before
the dawn of human history. The
women of the twentieth century .
who yearns for the richly fur-
trimmed wrap or frock is but obey-
ing one of the most primitive of all
feminine yearning-s.
So when some one stands up and
casts disparaging rumor-ks on the
use of fur merely for adornment. in-
ferring that it. is unnatural and
utterly absurd, we may truly smile. .
irony be useless. it my be even
cruel. but unnatural it certainly is
not; And it really is difficult to use

TU RQUOISE.
HE turquoise is today's talis-
manlc gem. In the Far East
it was looked upon as a lucky
ston'e for those who' dealt in any
business in which horses were con-
cerned, and so it has come down to
us as a. talisman for those engaged
in horse racing or trading. The tur-
quoise was also credited with power
to protect its wearer from accident.
Today's natal stone is the load.-
stone. which attracts all good things
to its wearer. It was believed by
the ancients to be particularly po-
tent in attracting love.
Green is today's lucky color. par-
ticulerly for those who are" discour—
aged or sad. since it is symbolic of
optimism. ' .

but there are a. lot of rather
determined young Indies 'sbout who
should. in their own interests and
prospects for future happiness end

selves down s peg or two.
Judging from letters which ; got
myself. and those I see published in
. newspapers in the editorial posting
columns, it would seem that many
of them have a certsin definite be- _
lief that the world owes every young
and attractive woman a husband. a
home. and s. family.
They write to me is poised end
astonished accents:
”I on pretty, soon mama.
capable. and We”, but so
one has asked us to marry him.
I‘ son‘s understand it, as an my
friends have married long ago.”
And they find nus-iv. to editors
which contain phrases like this:
"I think something ought to be
done to give every lonely woman
an opportunity to meet men in on
)onorabls way so that she need
not miss her rights to a husband
and a home of her. om."
Deer. door! And there's nothing
like knowing what you went and
asking for it. is there?
Unfortunstely. the facts of exil-
tencs do not support the idea so con-
veniently held by these unattached
ladies that every girl-child born into
the world is automatically presented
with a voucher which will enable
her to get married whenever she
feels so inclined. ‘
Neither does real life bear'out the
rather romantic notion that there is
a Jack for every Jill. and thst
sooner or later every man and every
woman is bound to meet his or her
