ARE YOU GUILTY—2’
There are girls hers and there
“bobbed—haired girls—who wear
‘little folding combs around their
neck: on ribbons in lieu of other
necklaces. Then from time to
time, as the occasion requires, they
comb their locks.
Really it isn’t a pretty trick at
all. And Just because these little
combs in fancy cases are sold is
no reason why you should think
that it is smart to comb your hair
with one worn round your neck.
Some girls are so used to wear-
ing light flesh-colored stockings
that "they don't feel right" if
they wear .any other sort. So
they wear'them on rainy days as
well as fair days. on muddy pave-
ments as well as along spotless
ways. But truth to tell there is
nothing
about light stockings that have
become mud spotted. There are
plenty of the darker shades of the
fashionable browns and grays that
are far more appropriate for rainy
days and really look much
smarter.
It used to be a rule of good
form that the well-bred man or
women did not touch his hair "in
polite society." “'hen you rose
in a novel that the hero "combed
his fingers through his hair" in a
rage or passion. you somehow felt
that he wasn't quite a thorough-
bred. Because the thoroughbred
didn’t touch his hair.
But this old rule of good form
must have been forgotten by many
a young wdmau. or perhaps the
temptation to stroke and fondle
and pat a new bob is too gloat.
At any rate there are always
women about you who seem to
' delight in fingering their bobbed
hair. They seem to want to foal
to see whether it is still, there.

Next to the Peter Pan collar.
made famous by James Barrie and
laud Adams. no collar of Aster-
ican origin and few fashions of
any sort. has gained such wide
popularity abroad as this named
Buster Brown.
In the days when Buster we. a
real live comic feature. all little
boys used to wear enormous ties
like that put! young girls used
sometimes to cover up almost the
entire front of their blouses by
enormous tied bows “a la Buster
Brown."
One of the most amusing styles
that ever was devised to make
pictures of one generation of
school girls look ridiculous in the
eyes of another was the trick of
wearing these Buster Brown ties
of such extreme also that they
well-nigh covered the entire front
of a girl's blouse. serving the
while no on anchorage for numer-
ous class pins. fraternity pins and
other insignia of youtbfolk dis—
tinctions. xotbers and older sis-
ters wondered where it would load
to. Week by week these enor.
mous bows grew more enormous.
They dreaded the time when the
entire front of little daughter or
lounger sister would be plastered
with one enormous bow tie. Then
almost ovor night Buster Brown
ties disappeared entirely. In their
place girls wore lingerie blouses
buttoned in the back ,wlth the
high collars @1er with ruebing.
You can see it aliquits plainly
and amusingly in any ills of old
mllege or school year books.
, This year‘s class all wore the Bus-
ier Brown bow. Next year they
have disappeared»never to re-
turn again.
Never? Well. never is a long
word and not a Very safe one to
use in speaking of any fashion.

Sponsors the Circular Skirt.
ERTAINLY no one could ’say
‘ that the circular skirt idea
had met with any vary on-
thusiastic reception. There are at
most only “circular tendencies,"
and "circular effects.” that do
little to detract from the perfect
parallel of our pencil silhouette.
For we still all aspire to be pen-
cils apparently. To‘ be sure we
cannot all be slender. but what
bulk we have must be flattened
out into the perfect parallel of a
pencil—4 stout. chunky carpen-
ter's pencil perhaps, but still a
pencil.
No. there really has been little
room for the circular kirt in most
of our clothes. There is just one
exception. It is a fashion that.
has come in by the country club
door. We may have none of the
circular skirt for dance frocks.
for suits. for afternoon frocks——
but the skirt that is uncon-
promislngly circular is the choice
of the best-dressed young woman
for sports at the present time.
Perhaps it is a frank admission
that the wrap-around skirt was
not quite suitable.

A PASSION FOR PAINT
“There's nothing she can't do
with a can of paint and a paint
brush." said one young woman en-
thusiasticaliy about another. "And
.she has a perfect passion for doing
iir. too.
She'd rather paint things
than eat or dance."
\‘Vhat this young woman liked
to paint. we learned. was not
miniatures. or portrats or even
decorations on china. but such
things as wicker furniture, win~
dow sills. porch floors and even
the family automobile when it
needed it. With her talent for
.painting she was able at very
small expense to transform a
rather ordinary sort of sun parlor
with some odds and ends of
wicker furniture into one of the
most delightful rooms of the sort.
One thing that this young
woman insists on. however. is that
she should always have her paints
mixed by the professional paint
dealer. if she is going to do a
very email job she will use a small
can of ready-mixed paints, but
otherwise she goes to a paint
dealer who can be trusted and
gets him to mix the desired quan-
tity of paint for her. She insists
that she owes much of her success
to this precaution.
She has also been able to fur-
nish several rooms in her house
at rather small expense by using
unpainted furniture which she has
painted to suit herself. Now many
”teens seem to be of the "million
that unpainted furniture i: so ex-
pensive that it is not worth the
trouble of painting it for them—
selves. Better buy the ready—
palatod sort. However. it really
is possible through some search-
ing to find attractive pieces of the
unpainted son at small cost.
Don’t imagine for a minute that
painting is easy. One reason why
