_WOMAN’S PAGE. Arranging Overdrapery BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. One of the most difficult details In the making of net or lace, chiffon or Voile dresses once upon & time. was 1o effect a perfect agreement between the net or lace of the skirt and the drop skirt beneath. This was not easy. A frock might start out with this perfect agreement, only to hang askew after a wearing or so, often for no reason than a change in weather or climate. Chiffon and Yoile have of getting Ump when the barometer rises, and with ipness comes stretching. »w, nobody—that is, nobody that Knows—cal whether the over- rapery of the frock meets or escape 1y inches and inches the line of the sdip.

The same thing holds good of the separate skirt that is made of trans- L or translucent fabric. Plaited s of white crepe have been worn southern resorts ever since the first of the year. They have had a share in creating the demand for lace-trimmed and embroidered pet coats. These petticoats have been worn considerably shorter than the sheer plaited frock over them.

VERSIFLAGE “Who’s Who.” I've lately read a magazine in which this question did arise: How many women have there been as no- table as men and wise? The editor was quite irate because a recent fat “Who's Who" within its bulk did deign to state the names of women— forty-two. ‘Just think.” this editor exciaimed, “three thousand men were listed there; not half a hundred women named. Oh, readers, answer, is this falr?” Perhaps it is: perhaps it's not. Dear editor, don’t be so sad. We women do not care a jot, 8o why shoyld vou feel sore and sad? Be- sidés, this point you've overlooket: From past experience I know that if for your talents you are booked, then “talents” from your purse must flow! That's why there's lack of women's names—tor printers' ink they will not pay. So Bert and Sid and Bob and James fill up the tome with great display.

C., MONDAY, ‘A The Diary of a Professional Movie Fan BY GLADYS HALL. ‘|Shall Women Keep Their Own Names After Marriage? You may not think that the ques- tion cited has anything to do with the screen, and it hadn't very much until, at a dinner the other night, ‘Will Rogers pald it the tribute of one of his inimitable speeches. I believe that I've aiready referred to Will's speeches as “inimitable,” but until I can think of a better word I'll have to let it go at that. Well. anyway, T want to get this down In my diary for future refer- ence. The dinner was given by the Lucy Stone League, and the Lucy Stone League has as its motivating purpose the theory-put-into-practice that women shall retain names after marriage. Lucy was one of the first women who insisted that belleved. She was also, 1 belleve, one of the first omen who insisted that the word “obey” be left out of the marriage ceremony. And I suppose it was, If Lucy insisted. As for her name, her proclamation. “My is the symbol of my individuality, and must not be lost” (I think I've quoted her right), has lasted all these vears, and her own name lasted her all her life.

He hadn’t the least bit of fear. You see, Farmer Brown's Boy had led Bowser the Hound away from the foot of that tree in which Johnny had been a prisoner, and so Johnny knew that Farmer Brown's| Boy was a friend he could count on. The only thing that worried Johnny was the thought that perhaps Farmer Brown's Boy might not come away over to that tree agal. So Johnny watched anxiously as Farmer Brown's Boy came down the Long Lane. His heart leaped with joy as Farmer Brown's Boy turned and headed straight toward him. Johnny looked down at Reddy Fox curled up in the bushes and almost {that was awaiting Reddy Fox. You sce, from where he was_Reddy couldn’t see Farmer Brown's Boy.

Now, I'm going over to sit down on that stone wall a little way off, and if there is any wisdom at all in that funny little head of yours you will take this chance to get down.” So Farmer Brown's Boy went over to the stone wall some little distance away and sat down. He took palns to go far enough to make Johnny Chuck feel that he was free to come He watched Johnny look anxiously this way and that way, and smiled, for he understood just what Johnny was thinking.
