FE ATURES., SEEN IN THE WASHINGTON SHOPS BY ELENORE ASHINGTON had two fas- cinating fashion shows during the past week, each interesting, and yet en- tirely different from the other. The first, held at a restaurant and danc- fng place was an exposition of the wery latest creations for all possible oqoaslons—exquisite negliges for morning, sports apparel for the fore- noon, tatlored suits and wrappy coats for afternoon shopping tours, dia- phanous lace-trimmed frocks for the tea hour, velvet capes and brocaded deoollete gowns for evening.

A twisted fold of chiffon formed the girdle, and the panel tops looped over it at each side. Beading appeared at the front of the bodice, and on two straight folds of crepe which hung beside the panels. A smart costume suit seen local establishment was of black klo-ka, with the blouse of bright printed crepe. The jacket opened at the front in an oblique line slanting \ toward one hip, where a bow of black ribbon served to fasten the two sides. {The sleeves were three-quarter length, and flared at the lower edges, and the collar was rounded at the back, but slanted into lapels as it bordered the opening. The skirt was out on severely plain lines, without stralght or circular panels to relieve its stmplicity The small chapeau pictured was of Ibrown ny¥lan straw, in a helmet {shape.

Here is another group of family names belonging to the locality classification. One and.all of these names apparently eprang up simul- taneously and quite naturally in nearly all parts of England, at least in all parts where oak trees grew. Consequently the possession of this name Is no guarantee of relationship, even a remote one, with other persons bearing the same name or ones sim- flar to 1t. The original forms of the name, of course, were nearly always preceded by words that show it was at frst merely a descriptive phrase. In the ords we find the Norman pre 1" and “de,” meaning “of, “de Okolt,” “de Akelegh, “de Ocslade” and “Oker. The last of these is simply “oak-er’ thut is, a contraction of the old “were," ning “man,” the word de Okovere, ) with / olt” 1s an oak thicket. An " i8 a grass-covered ope n oak forest. An-oak "ley, legh™ is either a shelter or { pasture near oaks. An “over” is flat { Tand near the sea or a river, If oake {grew upon it, the medleval English called it an “okover or “okeovere.” The terminatioin “shot” in the name Jakshot | mply a contraction of ‘ho!t” to be found in a great many FEnglish place names.

A wise woman once remarked that the art of living consisted in the proper management of details. The same might be sald of the art of [looking beautiful. ‘The only difficulty lies in knowing these little details.

Up to the time of La-may it was almost impossible to get a face powder to stay on the face longer than it took to put it on. Now you can uso a powder that really stays on, that stavs on perfectly. A spe- | cialist has perfected a pure powder that does not contain white lead or starchy rice powder to make it stay on. This improved formula con- tains medicinal powders doctors pre- scribe to improve the complexion. In fact, this powder helps to pre- vent and reduce enlarged pores and irritations. It is also astringent, discouraging flabbiness, crows’ feet and wrinkles. This unusual powder is called La-may (French, Poudre L/Ame). Beoause La-may is pure and because it stays on o well it is | used by millions of American wom- en. Al dealers carry the large box and many carxy the generous thirty. five-cent size. Remember, when you are offered a substitute for La-may it is sure to be a demonstrat or some one trying to make a larger profit at your expense. When you | use this harmless powder and see || how wonderfully it improves your ( complexion you will understand why 20 many beautiful New York women say they cannot buy a better pow- der than La-may anywhere at any ice.
