Wile Investment for the Sum-
mer Wardrobe.
certain well-dressed women
there is no sort of cost that
appeals for summer wear
quite so strongly as the tailored
model of white flannel or other
woolen material. The appeal of
these white costs was not entirely
provisioned. To be sure they ap-
peared among the new things
shown by French dressmakern in
their late Winter collections. and
they were seen at American winter
resorts in the South where the
trend of American summer fash-
ions is usually forecast. But no
one could have foreseen then the
extent of their present appeal to
well-dressed women.
One reason for their appeal to
the conservative woman of good
taste is that a. coat of this descrip-
tion can be worn correctly for a
top coat 'over a sport frock with
sport accessories or as a covering
for the dainty afternoon frock.
For informal evening wear in sum-
mer such a coat is also appro-
prints.
The sketch shows a white flan-
nel coat worn over a white crepe
de chino sport frock. A green tie
finishes the frock and a green
flower gives distinction to the
jaunty white cane carried as an
accessory. Green and white check-
ered lislo sport stockings further
add a touch of verdency to the
ensemble.
Flannel is a favorite material
for the white coats. but they are
also found in silk crepes and faillc
as well as in white kasha, chevlot..
twill and other ribbed woolen ma-‘
terials. There are, to be sure.
white costs with the wide banding
of fur around the hem that is so
characteristic of costs this season.
but a large proportion of these
coats are of u too severely tailored
species to permit this.
One young woman who is known
among her friends as quite expert
at keeping a very complete ward-
robe on what the women's maga-
zine editors politely call a "limited
income." considers the white coat
a decidedly good investment. To
be sure. she agrees. it may be a
passing fad, out of style by an-
other summer, but at small codi
the white cost can be dyed in an-
other ycar to play quite a differ-
ent role in next summer's ward-
robe.
WISE “AND
OTHERWISE
TAGGING YOUR CHILDREN
SOME women, it section. are never
quite happy until they have
made concise little tags for
everyone who comes in close contact
with them. This sort of woman tugs
her hulbond even before she has
married him. and she tags the. vari-
ous members of his family for him.
Her own children she tags before
they are many days old and she
never changes the writing on the
tag. Her husband's friends and her
children‘s friends. her‘ neighbors. the
tradesmen and her servants—she
tags them all apparently without the
least difficulty. .
Her husband she tags as happy-
go-luoky. He has no nerves, doesn't
know what it is to have a restless
night. never worries about the chil-
dren. Tom. her son, she tags as a
hearty. healthy buy. all boy without
n’ grain of sentiment about. him. As
o matter of fact. as time goes on
Tom develop! into smoothing of a.
poet—and hell rather quiet and a
bit obstcmiouo. But she still insists
on thinking of him and speaking of
him as a big beefstcok sort of boy.
Nellie, her daughter. is tagged as
a. shy, sensitive child—o. regular
mother‘s baby. As a matter of fact,
Nellie grows up with a. decidedly
greater sympathy for her father and
she is anything but shy.
Sometimes mothers brand their
children as being‘hopeisssly awk-
ward. all thumbs and no fingers. and
it is a wonder indeed that they ever
improve in this regard. It really is
a mistake, this branding your chil-
dren, because children change im-
mensely from the time you that
begin making your tags; and some-
times these preconceived notions of
yours about them may do them real
balm.

ROBERTA
OBER'I‘A. the charming boyish
R name signifying "bright fame,"
is one of the many examples
of feminine names coined directly
from the masculine oognomen.
Robert. Though Robert can be
clearly traced. there is no record of
the evolution of the feminine. and it
can only be deduced that. some pu-
ent. dimppolnted at the birth of a
daughter. bestowed the family name
upon the girl-child and added the
final “a" as a. concession to the sex
of the infant.
Roberts has a charmingly poetical
‘heritage. Her counterpart appears
in the moat famous passages of
L'ngland's early history. The origin
of the name was in "red" which
accounts for the translation of
"bright." Curiously enough, Rob~
srto was popular in Italy after
being rejected by England. before
its vogue in that latter country be-
came so great.
One of the wild Dukes of Not-
mandy brought it back to England.
and numerous cori- and noble-
sciscd upon it. establishing its vogue
permanently. The dearly beloved
Robin Hood. whose deeds unre-
corded in Eamon ballads. did'mucb
toward making it popular. Robin
was the epithet by which OW
Elizabeth addressed the two cull.

themselves in he: favor. Robert of
Bruce was the national bore of
Scotland. and Robin uwloso m a

RADIO ll outguuling the weath-
erman. From England com“
the report that at the Croydon
air station there is now being oper-
ated an instrument which detects
thunderstorms well in advance of
their arrival. employing a special
form of wireless direction finder.
The apparatus reveals, the location
of I. atom. the direction of it. man-
mont. and its rate of travel. This
valuable information is sent by
radio to air pilots.
Somewhat cimilu instruments ro-
contly have been installed in one of
the stations of the New York Edison

To the radio weather forecast is
due largely the remarkable initial
success of Uncle Sam's Coast-to-
Coost airplane mail service. Through
an elaborate radio dispatching lys-
tem the cross-country pilots receive
regularly the weather reports for the
territory they are traversing. along
with flying orders. This dispatch
system in controlled from the head-
quarters of the Air Mail Service in
Washington, D. (3., where radio
operators are on duty 2-l hours of
the day.

mcndously important part that radio

Now comes Captain W. A. bloffgtt.
U. s. N.. Chief of the Bureau of
Aeronautics, with the prediction that
commercial dtrigibloa soon will carry
mail across the Atlantic in two days.
and that radio will be largely n-
sponniblo for making such a. venture
possible.
A number of mysterious "dud"
gaps in the Atlantic where radio
woven will not penetrate have been
charted. although their causes re-
main unexplained. Two of the most
dangerous of these "blind pockets"
are believed to lie in midocosn. on
each side of the equator. and it in
thought that some of the unex-
plained disappearances of ships
equipped‘ with radio may have been
due to their presence in then nut-n

famous study by Grcuzo—
that was what they had
nicknamed iris Down.
"But it isn't anything very won.
dcrful to be noted for—inst listen-
ing." pouted Iris, as prettily as the
girl of the artist herself might have
poutcd.
"0h, isn't it?" song out her
brother. “Sis—it's a gift. It's inst
as surely a gift as Harry Lauder
lays drinking is." he laughed.
“And you compare my—my faculty
with that—" Iris dashed out of the
room in a but! as sisters have been
wont to do ever since God gave
them brothers to tease them.
“I'd say her nickname should he
Irish—for Iris—when she gets her
temper up." muttered her brother as
he was left alone.
But iris very seldom was so an-
noyed as she had been today by her
brother‘s constant bickering and
tossing. She had been a trifle out
of sorts and ‘had had little to say
that morning. and he had begun by
taunting her about the nickname
she had worn for years—that of The
Listening Girl.
“I realize that I never have much
to any." she pondered. alone in her
room. "but I always find that other
people have and so—well. I just on-
joy listening. That's all."
How little she realized that she
mused a rare attribute in her sex.
How often the girls Ibo know talked
for hours about absolutely nothing
and how often they tired out the
people who had to listen.
Iris did not listen with an affected
manner as do many girls who have
been told that men like to bear
themselves talk. She listened with
real interest. She loved life and
there were few phases of it that she
could not enjoy being told about.
That night at dinner she had quite
forgotten that she was cross with
her brother.
"Bud." she said. "didn't I bear you
say you were having some men in
tonight for s. smoker—or some-
thing?"
"Right in the first assumption. my
dear." said her brother with much
offectstlon: "but wrong as to the
second hazard. The men are not
coming for a. smoker. On the con-
trary. I have assured them that you
will be present to make them one
of your famous rarebits. I knew

phase?” asked Iris.
“Oh. the regular fellows and a
friend of Bill's. a shy chap who. they
say. doesn‘t like girls."
Iris attended to the lights and the
log fire in the big living-room and
planned a. supper for her brother's
friends. Then she disppcared so as
not to intrude herself too early upon
the party of men.
Late in the evening. she found
her way downstairs to the group of
men about the fireplace.
"\Idello. Sis." said her brother. "I
was afraid you had decided to
snatch your beauty sleep instead of
honoring us.”
Iris laughed and greeted all of the
men she

She listened, as was her habit.
while he told her of his interests
which were many besides the work
he was doing for a living.
When the men left, more than on. '
of them noticed that their friend
Bob Watson had thawed out con-
siderably under the influence of Iris.
He came, often. after that. and it
seemed to him as if he had never
really lived before. He had found a
girl who shared his interests, who.
as she listened to the tales of hi:
ambitions and his work, seemed to
give him inspiration.
"You are what I should call a.
‘crsative' listener, Iris." he said to
her one night when they had spent
an evening going over his plan fol.i
a work on cooperation between cm-
ployer and employee.
"Why—creative ?” asked Iris.
“I seem to be able to create new
ideas even while you are listening to
me. I think of things I never could
have thought of before—or without
your interest."
"I suppose there are people who
inspire us as well as those who dos.
troy our thoughts so they listen,”
she ventured. .
"I wonder if it ill—Just you," be
said.
Iris tried to turn the subject away
from the dangerous point she lucw
must be approached sooner or later.
"Oh—no. Anyone who might be
interested in your work would be
the nuns way." she said bravely.
“Iris—look at. me. You know that
isn't so. Why. I have been up and
down the world looking for—just
you. my little Listening Girl." be
said.
And after that they talked for long
