Margaret Leahy, the “Talmadgos’ find,” says that clothes have a tre- mendoys effect on the moods of women. “I want to have lots of them,” she admits; “soft, drapy things for dreamy moods whén one wants to relax and be interestingly fem! nine; sport togs for jolly hours; tail- ored clothes for town wear, lacy, chiffony things when one wants to forget the world for an hour or 50 and make wonderful plans for the future”” 1 also agree with Marga- ret. Don't you? James Young, director, is looking for a pair of perfect feet! *“‘No girl,” said Mr. Young, “should try to become a motlon picture star whose feet have been distorted by tight shoes, for there is no telling when a role may call for bare feet; and there's simply no getting around the feet difficulty by any camouflaging mfike-llr or any of the aids which can be called In to remedy other defects.” Mr. Young just finished “Omar the Tentmaker’ and “The Masquerader’” and he is now about to do “Trilby, the next Richard Walton Tully pro duction.

There is a large window on 5th ave- nue in front of which shoppers from 1 parts of the country stop to stare. It is filled with cretonne. The uncut fabric is at the back. A chair is cov- ered with it, a frock made of it, a hat fashioned of it, parasols of it are ready to protect one from the sun, jumper jackets of it to give warmth. It is propaganda for cretonne. The people who spin cotton and pattern it with bright figures have no intention of letting the silk people ride the crest of the wave alone Every one knows by this time that we are to look like tattooed women ‘because of the figurations which cover our clothes. We have not yet come to wearing the “Night Club” silk, with its brilliantly pictured scene from a cabaret, but we adopt amazing and astounding figured fabrics. Unhap- pily, some women adopt them when nothing €0 small as an acorn or a cherry should be permitted to em- gha*izf‘ their rotundity or structural efects. Calico is a cotton that easily found @ following when cashmere, Persian and Paisley patterns came over the horizon from ancient zones. The shops call it English print when they sell to old and young, to slim and stout, but calico is its centuries-old British name. Why not give it? Naturally the cretonne people be- gan to cut a path for themselves toward the front line of dress when they felt the direction of the wind. Cretonme is not a novelty in our clothes, It is full of color, some of it is enchantingly artistic, and as Amer- jcans have a weakness for cotton, for fabric that washes and comes back fresh and clean, smelling of sun and air, it has its chance for success. Those who make sport clothes see in it a_chance for clever ornamenta- tion. Take this green kasha sport coat sketched today, which went to Palm Beach along with many green and white garments. It is of green kasha with a cretonne lining in green, russet and blue. The white revers show the cretonne, so do the open sleeves, and there 'is one immense t of It which carries golf or ten- i 1s, heavy gloves or any of the small packets women like to tack about_their person when they are off on_a jaunt for pleasur The overblouse of cretonne is al- most as popular as the jumper jacket of it. They look so much alike it's hard to tell which is which. There are white and green combinations, also white and red, to be worn with Straw Cloth Pliable Enough for Draped Models.

My idea would be to tie each ece separately at the ends and serve it this way, so nothing will be lost. Stand fresh asparagus upright in water—the tips well above the surface. Cover the receptacle and steam thor- oughly. Better still, if you have a steamer, keep the asparagus entirely above the water until rendered done by the steaming proocess. (Copyright, 1923.)

Had asked him what he had left the dear Old Briar Patch for he probably would have told you that he was just out to get a little exerclse. The truth is, he had stayed so long in the dear Old Briar Patch that he felt that he simply must get out. Not being bound for any particu- lar place he hopped along slowly. It was a moonlight night, and because everything was covered with snow it was almost as light as dav. Teter could see far in every direction. Reddy you on the Green Meadows, could not pos- sibly get near without being seen. Neither could Old Man Covote. The only one really to be feared was Hooty the Owl, and Peter wasn't wor- rying about Hooty, for only a few maments bofore he had heard Hooty's voice far away in the distance. So er "hopped along lazily. Finally he sat down to rest and try to make up his mind whether to go over to the Green Forest or over to the Old Orchard. Now it happened that without noticing it Peter had sat down over a little hols in the snow. It was a very small hole close to a dry weed stalk which had beep broken off close to the surface of the snow. ‘Eeny, mfeny, miny, mo! Which' way is' best for me to go? 1 really, truly do not know. Eeoy, meeny, miny, mo! So with Peter to himself as he sat there with half 2 mind to go one way and with a half a mind_to go the other. Had little Mrs. Peter been | there she would have told him which | way to go. She would have told him to go straight back to the dear Old Briar Patch. But she wasn't there, and Peter had no desire to go back to the dear Old Briar Patch. Sud- denly Peter jumped right straight up in the air. “Ouch!" he cried, and took veral hurried jumps before turning stare at the place where he had been sitting. You see, he had felt a sudden and very sharp pain in one of his long hindfeet. Nothing was to be seen. No, sir, nothing was to be seen. Peter dldn't know what to make of it.

Nothing that could ac- count for that sharp pain was to be seen. For some time Peter sat staring a that little hole in the snow. I was starting at its without thinking about it. Suddenly he became aware that there was no longer a little round hole there. Peter leaned forward to look more closely. In place of that little round hole was & little whiskered face. In a flash Peter knew what had happened. He knew that he must have been sitting over that little doorway, and that Danny Meadow Mouse had crept up and with his sharp little teeth nipped him on his hindleg. trick on him.

In Silesla, near the old Polish fromtler, is one named Landburg. It s from these that the foregoing family names have been taken.

Probably the children all over the 1and celebrated Lincoln’s birthday an- niversary yesterday with a divided mind, having one eye cocked toward e anniversary—St. Valen- tine's day. The ring of the doorbell has scarcely more charming mystery and suspense for them than has the breathless journey with a small white missive to another child's door, and the effort to escape without being soen. To disappoint a child on Valentine's day is to inflict a real hurt A few | years ago a very small boy placed in the center of the breakfast table a | cigar box containing a homemade valentine for each member of the family No one had thought to get a valentine for him, but happily his mother saw the box in time. She flew upstairs, caught up a piece of soft leather left from an old cushion, cut it in the shape of a heart, and printed on it: “Though my heart is made of leather, It _is thine, love, altogether.” The little boy’s rapture at this novel valentine repaid her a hundred fold. Dispensing happiness is St. Valen- tine's job, and on this special day the thoughtful home woman will find ways to express her friendliness to her neighbors as well as to her fam- ily circle. Two or three crocuses biooming In a low dish, a few little cakes decorated with hearts, a littie valentine luncheon for soms forlorn, neglected old lady who rarely gets an invitation—these are surprises that will bring a real thrill to shut-ins. tired mothers or those whose lives are generally dun-colored. A husband who had not forgotten how to be a lover once sent a tele- gram to his wife, reading: “Love and Ereotings from Old Man Valentine himself.” It was more precious to her than the perfunctory box of candy or bunch of violets.
