FEA TURES. Short Jacket of Fur for Summer BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. Ghinchilla, ermine, sans tails, of eourse, fox, variously dyed, mole, squirrel, mink, rat and seal are men- tioned by those who know as the I*ading furs of 1923. But many of | these furs will not be used until frost. | And save for the vast army of men | and women who make their living in | the fur industry, few people are con- | cerned now With the fur coats or the | fur wraps they may wear six months hence. . But we all are interested in sum- | mer furs. If the fashion to wear peltry in warm weather is weaken- ing at all, it is doing so very slowly, and it is & mode that will die hard. To be sure, ostrich feather collars have in_many cases superseded bil- lowing fur collars on summer eve- ning - wraps. They were worn at Palm Beach and other southern re- sorts. Some evening wraps are made with garlands of flowers set in enormous puffs of tulle for collar, but this is a fashion for the woman who not only looks young but is Young. The fur choker is an indispensable accessory of the jacket suit in many wome! estimation, and the woman who can afford it may regard the short fur jacket likewise as indis- pensable to the summer wardrobe There are lovely short jackets of chipmunk fur with collars, cuffs and beits of heavy silk, embroidered in Persian colors or braided. Some are tied at the ft hip with ribbons though in the estimation of som persons the side closing is not so smart now as the front closing. Sometimes the coat is left hanging ldose at the front. and again is fastened with a large ornamental button Sometimes there are embroidered pieces applied on these fur coats and sometimes they are trimmed with ap- plique designs made of the fur. Ermine is the summer favorite. And there are various beige furs into whose pedigree one does not inquire too diligently. In fact, the woman who wears expensive fur garments nowadays seems to be more interested in the pedigree of the designer than in the pedigree of the fur. There are some coats with ermine two-inch strips mounted on blue silk, a deep blue on the tone of king blue. These bands of fur almost meet, o that there is just a ripple of the color when the wearer moves. 1 mounted on blue silk, the coat is usually tied with blue ribbons. -Gray and beige fur are made up in the The Diary of a Professional Movie Fan ull“lli@; g ML SHORT JACKET OF SUMMER FUR IN BEIGE FASTENED AT NECK WITH LARGE SATIN BOW IN BEIGE. same way on heavy gray and beige silk. The sketch shows a short jacket of summer fur in beige trimmed with designs of the fur. Beige satin ribbon fastens it at the neck. The crepe skirt is plaited into narrow bands of the material, giving what some one has dubbed the Noahs' Ark silhouette. (Copyright, 1923.) BY GLADYS HALL. Lew Cody. You know, it has never seemed quite fair to me, the way ‘“us girls” are able to find out all about the way the stars such as Nita Naldi and Bebe Daniels and Claire Windsor and others manage to attract the sterner sex. LEW CODY GIVES HIS RECIPES FOR ROMANCE. Magazines and newspapers are con- tinually coming forth with formulas of fascination as set down by the feminine stars, or, at least, by their press agents. You almost never hear Méhlon Hamilton or David Powell or lew Cody committing their methods to cold print. and so you boy fans must go about wondering how and by what processes they do it. You must frequently to yourself when vour best girl raves about having met Signor Valentino, “Gosh, I won- der how he does it!” Or when you read that out of fifty women, brave and fair, forty-nine and a half are in love with Lew Cody, it must occur to you that you would like to know a little about how he goes about it. Boxer Decides to Get Even. An ugly thought will often lead To planning for an ugiy deed. —Mother Bear. Such fun as the three little cubs were having up in a big tree in the fecn Forest! They were so little that they thought of nothing but play and having a good time. Boxer, their ngarly grown brother, who had been sent out into the Great World to make his own way and who actually didn’t know that he was their hrother, watched them with growing anger. It was jealous anger. It was hecause of the triplets that Mother Bear would no longer have anything BOXER MOVED IN A WIDE CIRCLE AROUND THAT TREE. tq do. with him, that she wouldn't atlow. him anywhere near the old windfall which had once been his hqme. /Here was a chance to get even. Still Boxer hesitated. Where was Mother Bear? Not even the sati tdction of getting even would be whrth being caught by Mother Bear. Bexer stood up and looked in every dffection. He couldn't see far be- cguse of many young trees growing al} about there. He listened with all his might. He heard nothing of Mother Bear. With hie nose lifted. he carefully tested each Merry Littie Breeze, but none brought the faintest scent of Mother Bear. ‘Boxer looked up at the triplets &b el al Ak oRIp St SE T thought I'd find out for you. I determined to ask him to give me a few recipes—recipes for romance, as it were. And so. by his Invitation, of course, I had dinner with him-shad roe and strawberry shortcake and everything. Lew is as charming a host as he is a villain and a lover. After we were well under way I sald to Lew, “I wish you'd give me a few recipes' for attracting the women, 50} that I can broadcast them to the boys | all over the country. It may help some poor swain with the only gal and in that way be a charity.” Lew obliged. After some hesitation and Informing me that he doesn’t like to discuss the woman question, and that he never has attracted them, and a few other modesties, which, of course, I couldn't believe, “These are those": “In the first place.” he said, “I am afraid of ‘em—because I am. “Very good, too.” we commented. he big, strong man acting timid always appeals to the maternal in- stinct, upon which the lady is yours.” “And then,” Lew went on, “there is the matter of keeping up an illusion. Make the girl think you are what she nsidered the perfect lover when she viewed the world through rose-tinted spectacles. _“Keep a woman's curiosity active Never let her know too quickly or too positively that you are In love with her. Don't say ‘I love you' to her for a long while. This may seem radical. but women love pursult as much as men do, and as soon as she becomes tog sure of you her zest abates. _“Another way may seem & superfi- cial way, but it is one of the best.

Supposing Mother Bear should come while he was up In that tree. There would be no escape then. “Better leave them alone until you can catch them on the ground. You would be fn a bad fix if you were caught up in that tree,” whispered Common Sense. “You may never get another chance like this to get even. It won't take you but a few minutes,” whispered Jealous Anger. “Probably Mother Bear isn't far away. She wouldn’t leave such little babios for long,” cautioned Common Sense. “Remember that it was because of them that Mother Bear drove you out into the Great World,” whispered Jealous Anger. ‘A wise Bear will keep out of * warned Common Sense. “There won't be any trouble if you act quickly,” sald Jealous Anger. All the time Boxer was looking, listening and smelling. Swiftly but silently, taking care not to rustle a single dry leaf or step on a single dry twig, Boxer moved in a wide | circle around that tree. He found the tracks left by Mother Bear when she had gone away, after sending those three little cubs up that tres. But of Mother Bear herself he heard, saw and smelled nothing. “She has gone off to get her break- fast,” thought Boxer. “Unless she is luckier than I was this morning, it will take her some time to get it. 1 can catch those clubs and be in an- other part of the Green Forest by the time she gets back. Il do it! Il get even with them and her. Yes, sir; I'll get even.” Boxer turned and made straight for that tree in which the triplets were having such a good time. (Copyright, 1923, by T. W.

Of course a certain amount of occupation at times is pleasant—if you can choose the time and amount.

So I have arrived at a crude philosophy on the subject, and in case you're a fellow toiler you may be interested. My first conclusion about work is this—don’t. Not unless you have to. After a number of years spent as & busy bee I'm here to state that ambi- tion in an unattached human isn't a virtue. It's a disease.

Your Home and You BY HELEN KENDALL. The Neighborhood Tennis Court. Two women sat sewing in an open window on the fifth floor of a city apartment house. Both were occu- pants of flats in the building, and both had noisy young sons who were now conspicuous by their absence and their non-noisiness. “Where do You suppose the boys have gone?’ questioned one of the mothers, looking a little anxfous. “T try to keep an eye on Herbert and see that he stays ndar home, but there is no place to play in but the strest and that'd bad for him.” She sighed. The other mother shared her anxiety. -« “I think probably the boys have gone out to the park. My Bob is crazy about tennis, which he learned to play indoors last winter, and the only courts available are out in the park. But I don't like to have him go there. He comes home using rough language—evidently there is not & very nice class of boys there. If we had a house with a vard we might fix up a court for him, but what_can you do in a city apart- ment? Her neighbor looked out of the win- dow thoughtfully. Next door to the covered parse, dried blown papers and hard caked mud. “Do you suppose she murmured meditatively, “that we could get the owner's consent to lay out a tennis court down there! We could get the men living in all these apartments around here to chip in together on the expense, and a net doesn't .cost so very much, does it? The boys themseives could measure off the courts and chalk them, and one of them could be responsible for taking the net in at night. All the children of the neighborhood could take turns playing—perhaps a ‘set’ at a time., It would keep them here where -we could watch them, and yet they would be safe and busy and happy.” ) Both women brightened. “We can certainly try it, anywa they de- cided. “It will ‘be noisy, of course, but merry noise never really bothers any one.
