There is missing in his compo-

the president of a great corpora.-
lion.

And observe again that. when-

The men who is lacking of men-

He is obstinate when he should

oucum NOTE PAPER '

(lrcllld is a fashionable color,
and as: might be imagined. a good
rival of orchid note paper is in
midoure.

The pros and cons of colored
linte paper are often discussed.
l‘ink and blue paper had quite a
mono once upon a time. and later
up many women stuck to pure
white note paper as the only
ronlly well-bred sort to use.

Then there emerged certain
women who used paper of what-
«vur color suited them. Some
specialized on gray. some on yel-
low. One woman who always had
it passion for the whole range of
purple tones. from lightest to
darkest. took up lavender note
paper at the time when we were
using those lavender three.cent
Wzlr stumps. After the war was
tit‘t’l‘ she- would walk blocks out
or her way and willingly spend
the extra ce'nt apiece to stock up
with lavender poeflge stamps. be-
mnro they matched her paper and
1"l'rl0d out her pet color scheme.

At present, one can do just
about as one pleases concerning
note paper. White. of course. is
always in good standing, and
\lolently scented or colored paper
is: always in bad standing.

llut the faint orchid tone of the
present vogue is quite inoffensive
- « indeed. quite attractive.

Lyrics of Life
By
DOUGLAS MALLOCK

 

'YOUR PICTURE.
“'here do I keep your picture? No.
not there
Upon the table. where the world may
stare.
Nor hanging yonder on the barren
wall. .
For cords will break, and swaying
pictures fall:
No, I have placed it wifii extremest

care
Within the room most private of
them all.
No passing stranger shell behold
your grace
And speak too lightly praising form
and face:
And no acquaintance with an idle
mind
Shall make you one with all .of
womankind:

No. you shall have your own. your
separate, place 4
Within that place forevermore en-
sh'riped.
Where do I keep your picture?
Never here
Amid the crowd. where fools may
laugh and leer: .
Not here amid the wrangle of the
mart.
But in a place from all the world
apart: ,
on no gray well your portrait shall
appear.
“'here do I keep your picture? In
my heart.

 

WHEN YOU ARE THROUGH.

When you are through with folly’s
hour.
When you are weary of the way
Where ev’ry flow‘r's a paper flow'r.
And men and women all are clay,
Come back, and you will find the
light

’ .Wiihin my window burning bright.

Will find me still awaiting you
When you are through.

I shall not speak reproaches now:
You would not listen. would not

care:
And time will teach you. anyhow,
In sterner words than I would
dare.

‘ Come back agaih. and never fear

Reprosches you will ever hear;
You have not: when you come again

You will not then. _ e

You have your for. and I have mine.
To wait. hm long it be;

To wait. and w to God divine

'Youyetwillfeeltheneedefme.

Yes. all I ask. as women will.

However my treat them ill.

in that you come—es all. men do

When they are flu-mull.

The Round Garter Jumps Into
High Favor Despite Long-Stand-
ing Prejudice.

agility—garters that really

are garters and go round the
leg and not up and down. Odd.
when you recall that when the
"straight-front" corset first estab—
lished itself with its sets of hose
supporters it was hailed as a
blessing because it did away with
the pernicious round garter. Just
the other day it was recalled by
some critics writing about the
German philosopher. lmmnnuel
Kant. whose two hundredth birth~

HERE we are back to garters

. day was recently celebrated. that

he ”cschewed garters because they
restricted his circulation. and in-
vented a contrivance of his own
to keep up his hose." Though in-
heriting a delicate constitution he
lived to his eightieth year. Doubt-
less he felt that his avoidance of
garters had something to do with
his long life.

e

There always have been oppo-
nents of the garter. and all sorts
of ills end discomforts have been
ascribed to these little devices.
But though we have become so
hygienic and sensible in many
ways we do not seem to trouble
our heads much about the danger
that may lurk in a. pair of garters.
You may see anywhere little boys
and girls wearing short socks
made to stay in position at the calf
by the means of little garters. or
poesibly deeply imbedded rubber
bands. Yet no one seems to worry
much about harmful after effects.

And now the young women who
has broken herself of the corset
habit. or who has never acquired
it if she is very young, takes gar-
ters as a matter of course.

A matter of necessity when one
wears no corset. they have become
an object of much adornment and
vanity. They are one of the
baubles of dress that seem to give
the light-minded young woman
much satisfaction. To be quite up
to date in such matters you must
change your garters quite as often
as your frock. With a ,tailored
suit there is one sort of garter.
for evening quite another sort and
sport clothes demand still another
variety.

Bridal garters have become one
of the rather important small de—
tails of the wedding outfit. In
the sketch is a pair of white satin
lined with blue and trimmed with
orange blossom and lace.

For many evening frocks might
be chosen such garters as those
shown in the sketch. of gold bro-
csde edged with gold fringe. 'At
the top of the sketch ere garters
of rose velvet trimmed with velvet
rosettes with rhinestone centers.
These would ‘be appropriate for
wear with n rose-trimmed evening
frock. .

Judging from the number of
Roman-striped garters shown in
the shops one would think that
there were some enormous femi-
nine order ef the garter lately
established that required each. of

its members to wear. Romanr

striped garters. Whether or no.

they are quite appropriate for.

wear with the navy blue or black
tailored suit or frock. Plain elas-
tic gatrers trimmed with clusters
of worsted flowers are chosen by
sunny young women for "every
sy".

The Vogue For Gray Shows That
It is Not an Easy Color to
Wear.

so for this summer by

women who follow. the fash-‘
ion, and sometimes the result has
been good and sometimes it'has
not. There is something undeni-
ably smart about the right sort of
grey-costumes. You cannot deny
that it is a difficult color to wear.
Some good authorities on such
mutton insist that it is the most
dlmcult of all hues.

There is no tone that apllOIrs
to such unfavorable advantage as
gray in inexpensive materials. In~
expensive black materials. pro-,
vidlng the black is a good definite
black and that the material is not
positively "cheep". pass muster
very well. and even the least
costly white .fsbric. while it re-
mains pure white, appears to ad-
vantage. But there is that about
grey that unless the fabric is ex-
pensive the shade of gray is' apt
to be very unsatisfactory. There
are greys that verge too much on
the pink and others that reveal
an undertone of blue or green
that come to mind when one men-
tions inexpeniVe gray. ‘

Then another thing that makes
grey diflcult. 'I‘wa greys, unle-

be a symphony in gray.

Then gray in of such variable
becomingness. It enjoys. or suf-
fers from the reputation of being
very becoming to older women.
The woman with white hair or
hair quite gray is urged to wear
it. But as a matter of fact unless
the grey or white haired woman
has a clear, fairly radiant com.
plexion, the gray is apt to be
deadly unflattering.

But when you can wear gray
and when the grey is of the right
sort. then truly you are to be con-
gratulated. You then possess
something of distinction that is
lacking to the women dressed all
in white. in black. in blue. green
or red.

recently worn by a smerthomen
who really appears to excellent
advantage in this tone. The frock
was of grey crepe de chine with
lace sleeves embroidered in silver
and flounccs of the lace. It was
worn with a large picture hat
trimmed with sigrettes.

as he rode with his is ther
across the broken country. "I now
you're planning to spend your vaca-
tion there. Pete, but why can't we
both got"

Peter Wells smiled. "You know
the reason. Berti We've thrashed
the whole thing out before. Father
can't be left alone with the ranch
and the few men we have now:
when you took that hunting trip
you might just as well have gone
to IJttJe Creek instead. You knew
about it."

Bart nodded bruskly. "I'll get

41; oh. was on. Pete, be a good
sport. let's both go!"

Peter was thoughtful. At the
same time he was rather weary of
argument. He knew that his younger
brother would never be satisfied un-
less he. too, went to the Little Creek
district. where they had 'loceted
claims the year before. New gold
had been discovered in the district.
and a. stampede was on. .

. "Toss you for it. 'Bart." he ‘ssid
suddenly. "If you win. I'll go later."

"You're a good scout, Peter; I am
ashamed of myself." admitted Bar-
ton. but his eagerness to go ever-
came his conscience. and so the
brothers tossed a. coin and, as usual,
Bart won.

"You certainly spoil Bart." re-
marked Mr. W'ells the morning Bert
rode away on the prospecting trip.
"You are getting a raw deal. Peter.
my lad, and I only wish I could
spare you both. Later. when I can
get a better bunch of men together.
you could both go. In the mean-
time what are you going to do?"

“Ride the range; watch out. as
usual. for Slicker and his gang,"
was Peter’s reply.

“By the way. Peter. Hanson tells
me that there is a small camp back
them in the canyon: says it's new.
You might ride around and take a
look at it. Might be one of Slicker's
outposts."

“I'll ride that way this afternoon.
I want to ride off my grouch be-
cause I can't go bye-bye and find
chunks of gold at Little Creek."

dark blur where the foothills began

away in a jumble of trees and thick-

SOMETHING [N THE SHOPS.
PIN-ON STRAPS

Pin—on shoulder straps for slips
and chemises and step-ins are
sold in the shops. You can unpln
them when your lingerie goes to
the laundry and pin them on
again. Of course. they sometimes
need washing, too. and you can
wash them separately. Also.
when they lose their freshness and
color you can replenish them.

 

LINGERIE TUBES

Silk tubing is cut in lengths
suitable for chemises and sold at
so much a. length. All you have
to do is to turn a hem top and
bottom. have it hemetitched or
featherstich or hem .it. run a rib~
bou at the top and adjust shoul-
der straps. For this you can buy
satin ribbon or the excellent
lingerie tape that is sold for
shoulder straps.

 

BLACK AND WHITE TILED
BATH SETS

There are interesting black and
white sets for the bath room—
beth mat. bath towels and wash
cloths. The border is in black
and white blocks, like tiles. These
are yery enactive used in-e bath
room with colored walls—but
even more so in a bath room fin-
ished in black and white.

 

WNSNE FURNITURE

If you keep your eyes open.
you can often see some interest-
ing piece of inexpensive furniture.
Something really cheap that is
nevertheless really quite desir-
able. One furniture store the
other day was selling little end
tablet—those smell and very use—
ful tables to place at the .end of
e divsn or chesterdeld, or by the
arm of the chair—for 85. The!
were made on good lines, and
were attractively stained in a soft.
dull brown that would harmonise
with almost any other furniture.

stream twittering through the mid-
die.

The eastern well lay in sunshine.
but the western slope was in shadow.
and down in the group of big oaks
in the very epot that he and Bert
had once played at digging for gold
something yellow glittcred. 'I‘ieing
the horse to a sapling. he slid down
the grassy trail.

"Halt!" said a firm yous‘ voice.
and Peter. who cherished a deep re-
spect for shotguns in the hands of
women. halted at once.

“Anything else I can do. ma'emf"
he asked good-humorodly. as he
brought his eyes around to look at
his captor. At night of her beauty.
worn camlenly like an everyday
garment. he stared at her pure
golden hair. braided in one heavy
rope that hung down her back.
“Why, that is what I saw up yon-
der," he exclaimed; “I thought it
was gold."

“My father is in the tent—sick. I
can't do a thing for him. Our sup—
plies were stolen by a bend of half-
breedh. and the little car we came
in—we are on our way to Little
Creek—was also taken. I was so
thankful the holdup came near this

blessed spot. It is so—eo—far to
everyone out here." her voice quay-
cred.

"Faster-net‘s?"

”Yea."

"Just take my guns away: there.
you'll Rel easier. My name‘s Peter
Wells. Dad owns all gills land. and
I am prowling around looking for a
hand of cattle thieves. I want to do
something for your father."

”You are very kind, Mr. “’ells. I
am Grace Murray. Father has been
asleep. but he has some fever. If I
only had some quinine."

“‘Ve will ilx him all up at. the
ranch." derided Peter. after he had
seen Mr. Murray and heard his story.
Half an hour later, Mr. Murray.
mounted on Jerry, with Peter and
Grace on either side. was slowly
transported to Red Ranch. as the
Wells place was called. James Mur-
ray proved to be very ill. and he was
easily persuaded to give up the idea
of going to Little Creek. Mrs. Wells

. proved to be a splendid nurse. and

Grace found a little time to get away
from the sickroom and go for long
rides with Peter and his father.
sometimes with one or the other.
Mrs. Wells adored the girl. and it
lwns her suggestion that as soon as
EMr. Murray recovered he should ap-
lply for the vacant position as
teacher in the school which would
isoon reopen.

i Then Bart came home, riding up
It“ the door like a young (-onqucrer,
Iwith his cherished little store of
gold. He stared when he saw Mr.
Murray and Grace. with her lovely
golden hair.

"Gold is where you find it. Bari.“
whispered his father jorrosci)’. "Po—
ier stayed at home and discovered
his in Green Canyon!"

THE LETTEBHEAD. '

CERTAIN aristocratic Eng-
A llshwoman. Lady Sholto

Douglas. who goes by the
nickname of “Georgie" has adopt—
ed the fed of having all her note-
paper engraved with the auto-
graph “Georgie" at the top of
each sheet. What would Lady
Sholto's grandmother have
thought of that? Certainly even
now it is most unusual.

Perhaps we Americans are in-
clined to be more formal about
this matter of letter head paper
than our English cousins. at any
rate we are less apt to go in for
unusual tints and“ borders.

Many women now find it a con-
venience to have letter heed paper
with their name and address
printed or engraved on it. Thus

"Mrs. John Smith
100 North 110th stre‘et,
Our-town." .

And some women use this liner
for personal correspondence.
Others are inclined to feel that it
ought to be reserved for business
correspondence. The woman doc-
tor hes her paper engrsved or
printed with her professional title

“Dr. Jane Smith
100 North 100th street.
Ourtown."

But she we id not usually use
this for persdnsl correspondence.
Similarly women ’writers, ac-
treases. etc, usually have letter
heed paper with their professional
name printed or engraved upon it,
and sometimes. though not al-
wnys, would not think of using
this for personal dense.
