Here Is a Nogilgee That Might Is
Made From a Pair of Gay Cre-
tonne Curtains.
081' of us know oretonna when
M we see it and yet few could
give a very good definition of
it or a clear accounting for the word.
Interestingly enough it was origi-
nally ,a white material—and now the
most important thing about cre-
tonne is the figure. Moreover it was
made very strong by means of a
hcmpen warp and a linen weft.
But that was some time ago. Then
for a long time the important thing
to remember about cretonne was
that it was an upholstery material.
used for curtains. chair covers. etc.
Now an effort seems on foot to do-
use as many ways to use cretonne
for other purposes as possible. There
are cretonno hats. crotonne purses.
crctomle scarfs, cretonnohouso slip-
pers. creionne frocks. crctonns coats
and cretonne negligeee. Cretonne is
even to be bought at the dress goods
counters in some of the shops. But
very often it is better to go in quest
of your cretonnee for wardrobe pur-
poses right in the upholstery depart-
ments. It is there that you find the
large. vivid designs that are so effec~
tive in coat. frock or negligee.
There are upholstery cretonnes
and printed linens—which give the
same effect—that are said to be
washproof and sunproof. The price
is a little higher than for ordinanr
cretonne but it seems well worth it.
A cretonne negligee is an excellent
addition to your wardrobe. It may
be made in. regulation bathrobe style
~and is then a very matter-of-fact
garment well suited to take the place
of the maunlsh flannel or terry-cloth
bathrobe that is too heavy to be
comfortable this time of year. If
you like. however. you may have
your cretonne negligee made with.
out sleeves. It is simply made, and
is a good serviceable negligee to
stick in your bag or box for short
trips this summer. The sketch
shows an attractive model. made of
a. large figured crstonne in yellow.
green and pink. and bound around
the ends with solid color to match
the yellow.

too is champion. Possibly Suzanne
Lengien has had some such ambition.
But she never went about attaining
it directly. Tennis has always come
first. of course. But. willy nllly.
these young women are looked upon
as the sponsors for two rival fash-
ions. There is the Lenglen bandeau
and there's the amusing little cap
that was inspired by the eye shade
introduced here by Helen Wills.
Mansion has remained true to the
bandcau which she wore to begin
with. Recently this bandeau con-
sisted of two ribbons. lighter and
darker yellow, which were twisted
and tied around her crown.
You may prefer to wear the Helen
Wills eye shade in its original form.
That may seem more sportsmanlike.
You may. on the other hand, choose
the bangkok hat that has evolved
from it~a hat that looks at first
sight as if it had been inspired by
tho jockey's cap with the narrow
pointed vizor in front to cut a
shadow over the eyes without inter-
fering with the vision. To lend
galety to this little hat there is a
hand of grosgrain ribbon round
about it which may be changed to
suit the color “scheme youchoose.
Going hatless outdoors persists
despite the fact that really fashion-
able women seldom appear in city
streets or country lanes. in motor
cars or at country clubs in the day-
time without some sort of head
covering. This doesn't mean adding
any uncomfortable weight to the
head. for there are all sorts of light-
weight hats for warm days. Bang-
kok is deservedly popular for this
reason. and there are curious hats-—
if you can call them thltwthdt
might be described as being made of
large-meshed i‘ish net. the strings of
which are strung with colored
wooden beads. The. hair appears in
the large pieces between the bead-
strung strands.

THE RADIO PRIMER
One Dally Fact for Listeners
The Bank-Wound Coil. like the
honeycomb cell that we discussed in
the Primer recently. is a. device to
reduce .the distributed capacity of a
coil of wire. This distributed capac-
ity consists. youremember. of the
capacity along the coil between one
layer (or turn) of wire and the next
one. .
It is impossible to avoid this dis-
tributed capacity altogether but the
» needs of radio design call for cells
that have as little distributed ca-
pacity as possible. The honeycomb
coil and the bank-wound cell are two
different ways of meeting this de-
stand.
The bank-wound coil consists of a
coil wound on a. cylindrical tube Just
as ordinary coils are wound. It dif-
fers from ordinary coils only in the
way that the successive turns of the
wire are placed on the tube when
the coil is wound. '
In the ordinary coil all the turns
are wound side by side until the
iiret layer of wire is complete. Then
the second layer of wire is wound
on. turn by turn, on topic! the first
layer. The third layer is wound on
top of the second. and so on.
In the bank-wound cell the turns
are wound on top of each other in-
stead of side by side. For example.
the second turn is wound beside the
first one. iuet.as in the ordinary
cells. but the third turn is then
wound on top of turn number one
and turn number two. Number four
is then wound on the first level. next
to number two: number five on top
of numbers two and four: number
six on top of numbers three and five.
and so on.
BROOM STICK. AND LONG
PILLOWS
UT in Oregon there is a. new
men's club. the name of‘which
is the Long Peliowa' Club. the
members of which are all six feet
or so tall. and the object of which
is to "make life longer and more
comfortable for tall men."
They make a humorous protest
against the shortness of beds in
hotels. the shortness of berths in
sleeping cars. the shortness of bath-
tubs and the discomfort of seats in
theaters.
Any woman who is the daughter
or sister or wife of a. really tall
man knows how many of the sup-
posed conveniences of life are made
without due regard for the tall use.
Along shopping streets awnings are
often lowered to suit the short pro-
prietor of the store. and in the
suburbs many people fail to con-
sider the tall man when Imm

And now there is a new club is
England. but it's a woman's club.
and it is called "The Brown-ticks."
Its members must be at least five
feet six and a half inches tall. and
“my must weigh not more than
nine, stones. six pounds, which
‘ means one hundred and warm
poundes’t it?
These broomstieks are the delight
of their ores-makers. we are told.
and make a. handsome appearance
when assembled for a meeting or
dinner. Most of them are young.
With the coming of years most
women over five and a half feet tall
weigh more than one hundred and
thirty—two pounds. The- members
or this exclusive club have to watch
the scales may if they wish to
remain members. '
Few of than are married. we
learn. and that is because to save
themselves from looking ridiculous
they feel that they must marry an
area.

that has been argued pro and con

no conclusion has been reached. It
is probable. however, that the ex-
pressions. "in our midst," etc... will
never be accepted by most author-

Possibly no other phrase in com-

one. ‘in our midst." ”One of the

SILVER SLIPPERS
By CLARIOBA MACKIE
RANDMOTI-IER RANKIN was
G not an old-fashioned grand-
mother. indeed she would re-
sent the insinuation that she was
not up to the minute whenever she
appeared outside of her big room on
the second floor of' her handsome
house. Mrs. Rankin was small. and
very alert. and her snow white hair
only added to her youth, as it
seemed to erase any wrinkles and
lines that dared to invade the rosy
tinted face.
On this lovely spring morning
Mrs. Rankin was not walking in her
garden, because her wonderful
Italian garden was in the country.
and of course she was not in her
kitchen innkinl: ginger cookies. its
some grandmothers were doing. be.
cause her make attended to all the
nice homely things of life.
Grandmother liunkln was in a
‘ahoo shop trying on gold and silver
slippers with tall splndly heels.
She nodded her uristocrntic hcnd.

hire. Rankin were the slippers to
the Landers dinner dance, and
danced in them until in some way
her ankle gave way. and she fell in
a painful heap. with one ankle
twisted under her. Within fifteen
minutes Mrs. Rankin was reposing
on her big bed. waiting for the doc-
tor. When he came he went right
to work and relieved the pain and
bandaged the swelling foot. "How
did it happen. Mrs. Rankin?" asked
Dr. Clinton. "Full down stairs?"
"Of course not—you know very
well that I was wearing those high-
hoeled slippers—you've been staring
at them for some time!"
The handsome young doctor
laughed guiltily. "Of course you
shouldn't be wearing them." he ad-
vanccd.
"Why not?"
"I've been treating you for vertigo
-—and the high heels are dangerous."
All the sparkle went out of Mrs.
Rankin's face. Suddenly she seemed
faded and old. '
"Are you in pain?"
Clinton.
“Nothing you can mend. Jamie."
she said sadly. "The silver slippers
stand for the one thing I can do
to forget—lose myself in the fool-
ishness of youth-—I know I am mak-
ing an old idiot of myself-43m.
my dear, I'm lonely—a lonely old
woman."
"You ought not to be. Mrs. Rah-
ltin." protested the doctor. "Not
when you have so many grand-
children."
Mrs. Rankin pulled herself to a
sitting posture. "Who told pou 1
bad grandchildren?" she asked in a
queer voice that did not try to be
young.
"Why—your son told me—or at
least I know the family."
“My son went against my wishes
and married one of the Braithes—
they are a poor family—I disowned
Franklin on that day."
“The Braithes were never well off.
but they are nice people. and the
and Dr.

doctor pleasantly. .

gloves.
"How many children has luv—has

can properly feed. I suppose."
“Four chlidrsn~two girls and two
boys. They live in Rosehurst—in
the suburbs. you know. The boys
are preparing for college—the girls
I don't know—they've been away at
school. I believe."
"Wild bob-heads. I suppose." ob-
served Mrs. Rankin. leaning back
"On my way there now-Mr. nan-
kin has sent for mo~some little
trouble."
Again she sat up in bed. her eyes
wide and frightened. "What is It.
doctor—is it serious? 'Tell me!”
"Not now. if he takes care of him-
self.” The doctor calmly picked up
the silver slippers and put them in
his big pocket. "Have you any
more high-heeled slippers?" he
asked. .._
"A dozen pairs. Why?"
"I will take those tomorrow. I!
you need me send for me—l’ll come
at once. Try to go to sleep." And
then his cheery presence was gone.
"A masterful man." murmured
Grandmother Rankin. as she dosed
off. "I am worried about Frankie."
Mrs. Rankin celebrated her re-
turn to activity by going to the
shoe shop and trying on some done.
ing slippers. "With Louis heels.
Miss Smithcrs." she said defiantly.
As she was fitted to another pair
of- silver slippers she watched a
mother and daughter come in and
sit down behind her.
"it is Franklin‘s daughter!" she
told herself. “I‘d know her any-
where—the very image—and the
mother, toe. Gentlepooplhwhat a
fool I've been!"
The girl was whispering a protest
to her mother. "But, dear. I cannot
afford to chap in hcre~when father
needs medicine and everything! I
am sure Dr. Jamie will like me Just
as well in my gray slippers.”
“Bring me some comfortable slips

heels. I'm a grandmother,
know. You may fit these to my
granddaughter here!" And Mr;
Rankin flipped of! the silver slippers
of youth and settled down into be-
ing a real grandmother.
"I‘ve never been so happy in my
life." she said when she danced at
the wedding of her granddaughter
Nancy and Dr. Clinton.
"I've never been so happy in my
life." she told her adoring son, "and
it began when I wore those ridic-

PERHAPS the sole example of a

immortal lipid was made so by Ten-
nyson. who rescued from oblivion the
charming idyll of Geraint and Enid
and placed them among the chivalry
of the Round Table. This history
was found in the "Maturgeon" and
a. “Triad“ mentioned Enid as one of
the three ladies of King Arthur’s
court. She is as beautiful as a pic-
ture of wifely devotion as the pa~
ffent Grisell.
The name Enid is s. Celtic form of
animus. meaning soul. It is not dif-
dcult to perceive how the successive
changes came about. through ,diffe -
ing pronunciations. Enid was prob-
ably a. connecting link in the transi-
tion and for suphony the word be-
came Enid. All this must remain
suppositious. however. as there is no
accurate history concerning the
name. so she is accepted as a poetic
fact and as such her vogue long
since established in England. France
and America.
She appears as Enide in the
