WOMA N’S PAGE SEEN IN THE WASHINGTON SHOPS BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY. PRING manifests itself in the windows of milllinery establish- ments quite a little before the first signs are visible in the city parks, and the gay thapeaux, even though framed in frosty glass, cheer ud with the thought that warmer days are soon to come. This season’s collection is unusu- ally interesting, for the models seem | to be as radically “different” from those of last year as the long-skirt- cd gowns were from the short frocks of the preceding months. Perhaps the very newest note is the silk scarf trimming, for it transforms a plain frame into a smart hat. The material may be in a Paisiey pattern or a conventional dotted or striped design, or in a fantastic floral motif, but it must be colorful and gay. Perhaps it matches one of the attractive sport bandkerchiefs that follows the ba- teau nmeck line of a new frock and knots at the left shoulder, and then BVENING SATIN CREATION OF 1t is smartest of all.

How often women, especially if they are generously proportioned, object to skimpy skirts. In this siyle, although the slender silhouette is the most apparent feature, pleated sec- tions at the sides have been Inserted to give ample freedom for walking. The front is slashed and becom- ingly rolled back to form revers.

Not long ago I visited a small coun- try house, where I was shown to a pretty room - with sprigged muslin curtains at the windows, a quaint eated chair or two and a four- covered with a white honeycomb spread. This uninterest- ing coverlet was the only false note in the room. When I turned the cov- ers back at bedtime Iifound that just underneath the white spread was & dear old patchwork quilt worked out in one of the patterns which meant 80 much to our grandmothers. The next morning I boldly ap- proached my hostess and asked her why she did not put this beautiful old coverlet on the outside of the bed in place of the prosaic modern spread. he looked amazed and sald she had never thought of such a thing. She said she liked the old quilts, of which she had several in the attic, but that she thought put- ting them on the outside of the bed would make it look like a farmhouse or like the old-fashioned bedrooms in the country. “But this j Tyurged. lovely old four-poster, the quaini chairs, even the flowered curtains an the hooked-rug on the floor, .all make an old-fashioned room," it resemble one of the old farm- house rooms which we are glad to hark back to nowadays. So put your beautiful old coverlet, with its lovely pattern in soft colors, on top of the bed, with the plain valance below it, and a plain roll above, ifvou wish (although I myself prefer the plump white pillows with their crocheted trimming). You'll find that your room gains a very charming touch by doing this.” She made the change and likes it 80 much that nothing would induce her to go back to the white cover. Many women have these nice old patchwork quilts handed down to them, and these very coverlets may be made the basls of a decorative scheme of unusual quaintness, and charm..

And the Chinaman regards it as a necessary part of good manners to permit others to save their faces as the expression is, also, To the American this sometimes seems like superficlality and insin- cerity If we have any complaint to make we like to give it straight from the shoulder. However, there is often an advantage In giving it so that the person to whom it is given may be able to save his face. It 13 often an advantage to be able to offor a criticism in a way that makes it perfectly clear to the one eriticized what you mean, but at the same time does not cause him the em- bar ment thgt would be inevitable wero you to call him down severely. The ability to do this often means xucess in handling employves. This is especallv true of houseworkers who, like the Chinese, like to save their faces. It is said of the Chimese that when any one So far.forgets the rules of Chinese etiquette as to forget the sensitiveness of the Chinese in this vespect, the courteous thing to do is to behave as if the whole matter was a joke and unintentional. This is further evidence of the desire to save one" face. And here is an- other excellent suggestion to us in dealing with all gorts of people. You can often avoid an open ruption and an embarrassing situation if, when vou have been upbraided in a way that you are convinced is unjust as well as unmannerly, you refuse take offense, refusing to take the matter quite seriously. Quarrels among friends and relatives would often be avoided if this little Chinese expedient were adopted. “Just Hats” By Vyvyan h Smartest Flowers to' Bloom in Spring Are Yellow. _ A smali poke of bright yellow, with matching vellow waxed posies march- ing single file over the top.

You had one in your house, ‘Three of ‘em. However, you can hardly call the Spofford ‘mix-up a Christmas row. They carry it on all year—it merely becomes Intensified at Christmas. And it's always over the same thing. Gene likes to “bring boys home for a bite” He knows several homeless chaps to whom an_evening by tie fireside and a cup of real coffee is a little bit of heaven. If he had his way he'd show them that sort of a time every week or so. Edna likes hospitality, too, but she wants it to be her kind of hospitality. And Edna’s kind of hospitality can't be turned on at a moment's notice. It takes time, lots of time.

Four days of misery to pay for two hours of joy. Edna doesn't get even the two hours of joy. The dinners must always be elaborate affairs.

It's a great mistake to let the lips become cracked or chapped. It's one of the most uncomfortable sensations, even when they're but slightly chapped, while a split lip is painful and often dangerous, to sdy nothing of the fact that it's most unsightly. It takes no time and it costs practi- | cally nothing to keep the lips soft through even the worst cold weather. Lip sticks vary from 25 cents (and I've seen them even for 10 cents) up to any price you want to pay. You need not buy the tinted sticks; in fact, you're better off if you get the tiny tin tubes of white lip cream. which are daintily perfumed and which always cost less than the tint- ed creams. * For the coloring will show up on the lips, and it will come off in a red mark upon handkerchief or table napkin. 1 _shouldn’t advise you to try and make lip cream.

Henri IV of France was married to the beautiful Marguerite de Valols. He was a handsome, bmave, clever and popular m: Between the couple there wat pathy and ynderstand- ing, but that was as far as their re- lations went. Theirs was a marriage of convenience. Both Henri"and “Margot” took in the situation calmly and sought love elsewhere, Among the others in whose embraces Henri found ease from the turbulent stats affairs of 'his time was Mme. de Liancourt. Some of his letters to this lady are preserved and show an elegant grace in keeping with his personality. Here is one of them: “My Beautiful Love—Two hours aft- er the arrival of this messenger, you will see a cavalier who loves you very much; they call him the king of France and of Navarre, an honorable title, certainly, but very troublesome —that of your subject is more delight- ful; the three together are good for any sauce and I am resolved to give them up to no one.
