Every shade of stra\v, from the palest rreamy-\vhlte to the darker biscuit land burnt tones, is shown. with rontrastlng navy blue or black trim- Inings. A few rough chip straws and bther fancy weaves in pastel shades appear-here and there. but more giopular are the finer plcot, bang- 'ok, and exotic types such as Marlame Suzy favors. These straws appear in shadcs of rod; royal blue. pale. pink. limo green. and of pourse black and navy blue. Many hats are made from soft ynaterials such as twill and surah liretched smoothly over sparterle shapes, while rich satin and taffeta ribbons in plain colors and fancy git-paves oftcn provide. trimmings which arc as important as the. hats itheniselvcs. The outstanding feu- iture of all the new styles is the svsy they fit the head.

Simply pour a little melted paraffin in the bottom of ithe container: and prcss the flower holder firmly into it. It is then possible to srrange bvrn long-stemmed, heavy flowers. with the assurance that they will remain in place. PARIS (IHOOSES NATURAL LINES Paris~Cone are the extravagant- Iy long and full skirts of the past summer, the nipped-in. wasp waists. and thc exaggerated sloping shoul- rlcrs. Instead fashion has settled upon a very natural line with geni- ly curving shoulders (not squared, plcasey neat. waists marked at the normal position, and skirts of mid- calf length. Nccklincs nro high for day, often very high. (Toilzirs appear every- where, the most popular being a ‘soft turncd-doivn collar of sclf material for simple dresses. The most elaborate styles seen on deep- 1y decollette afternoon dresses are softly draped shawl collars or fichu- effects. Sleeves include many kimono types, cut in one with the bodice. Others sot in for more tailored ltyles are almost all of three-quart- er length. often finished with turn- id-back cuffs. TOO TEMPTING It is wise to keep candy out nf light as a general rule.

But if Canada is going to follow Paris there will be a revolution in the shoulder line. Nine -out of l0 dresses in Paris shows are cut on the doiman line, creating a sloping shoulder effect. A: far as London is concerned. fine tailored suits continue to be the world's best. Canadian markets also will get more afternoon and cocktail dresses. in which designs will probably improve as design- ers gain experience. The British and French shows are notable for their handsome fa-. brlcs. The best prints are paislcys —-not in the. old flower patterns but dots. checks and bold plaids.' These designs also show in finei cottons. There is also a feeling for irid- escent fabrics and cords. Broad- cloth is popular for coats and everywhere plaid taffeta is com- bined with solid navy or black. . Some Paris shows include tight‘ ihobbie skirts unsuitable for fast- imoving Canadians. The fuil-circic skirts of last summer have given way to circular-pleated skirts. Collections are beautifully prc-‘ sented with British models outq standingiy striking.

It was an article that you must have written 40 years ago and that you have doubtless long forgotten; but it stilt hits the nail on the head, and I am wondebing if you won't republish it just for the heck of it’? MRS. JOHN S. ANSWER: \\'ell, inasmuch as human life and human nature are always old and always new. it doesn't matter being a repeater now and then. So here's the article which was entitled “Little Mary's Essay", and which ran as follows: . My teacher told me to write a composition on matri- mony zlnd I asked my Papa what matrimony was, and my Papa said that matrimony was an agreement that a man and woman signed up for a continuous scrapping bout in which every kind of a foul and strangle hold was allowed, and where the man gailantly went. to the mat. And my mother said it was a shame to tell a trust- ing. innocent little child such a thing as that. She said that matrimony was a guessing game in which the woman nearly al- ways guessed wrong. because slur thought she was getting a husband who was a grand, noble hero who would spend his life in cherishlng hcr and buying her new gowns and automobiles and things. t MISEIIABLE SHRIMP And What. Sh? 20f was a miserable. litilc human shrimp who was always rowing about the bills and thought that a woman ought to wear her year before lzlst's furs. though, goodness knows, they weren't. in style at all and anybody could sec tllcy were mangcy. Then I asked my Aunt Amanda, who is an old maid and who locks the door when she puts on hcr complexion, nnd she said that. matrimony is one of the things that a woman is [icrfcctiy miserable about until she gets it and utterly wretched about after she docs. And then she said: "Run away, child, and play." I asked my Uncle Bob, who is an old bachelor with a funny bald spot on the top of his head and a bay-window and lots of money, what matri- mony was, and he said it was what a man got for talking too much to a lady in the moonlight, and not being foxy enough to dodge the traps that were set. for him, and that it scrvcd him jolly right for being such a mu . ~ “ 'l‘iien I asked Grandma what matrimony ivas, and she said: "Well, in my time it was a life job. but in your motilens time it seems to be a temporary engagement, and by the time you are grown up I suppose there won't be any." And then she sighed and said: "Matrimony ls life, my child. 1t is sunshine and rain. It. is tears and laughter. It is heartbreak and heart's delight. But only those have really lived who have been married." Then I asked Hilda. our maid, what matrimony was, and she said: “It is what gives a gentleman the right. to talk to his wife the way he dasn't talk to the cook, who can give notice and quit, and which gives a woman the right to wear curl papers and a kimono at home. and sass ilor_husband to his face.“ And Ililria says that when a man and woman, who have been swcctics, get. tired of being polite and agreeable to each other they gct marricd so they won't have to wear out their good man- ners no more. Thcn I asked pretty little Miss Mamie, who lives next door to us and who has a great, big, new diamond ring, what matrimony was, and she said, with hcr cycs shining like stars: "Oh, child, matrimony is the Lrlnd of Hearts‘ Desire and I've got a glory ticket to it."

His household was under the capable management of a Mrs. homss Rickard, who had been in i: em- ploy for about five years. Mrs. Rickard was a widow. It seems that she had married a worthless wretch who lost; his life while attempting to cross the strait in a small row- boat. One day her employer had oc- casion to mention the sad circum- stances attending her husband‘: death, and before closing the inter- view offered a few words of com- fort. Mrs. Rickard hesrd him in sil- nce and then said, "Sir, while I appreciate your kindness, I have no feelings of grief for the death of Thomas. He was such auiespicabie character that I am far better off without him." "Really." said Mr. Kellow, "I had no idea that you had such s cold, callous heart. Your words certain- ly surprise me." "If you were familiar with the history of our lives." went on the widqw. "I am sure you would not made promising Spring-song in our GETS.
