3y ATURES. Making New Smocked Tunic Blous BY MARY It you are fortunate enough to count smocking as one of your ac- complishments, the making of one of the new smocked tunic blouses ought o be a fairly simple task.

The first part of the term, | “Dutch,” refers obviously to the re | puted severe parental discipline of the people of the Netherlands. *Un- however, has an interesting cle,” story. nonymous with ‘‘uncle” in Latin is “a severe guardian” or ‘stern | castigator.” Two ancient illustrations of this shading of the term are to be found in poems of the classic auth Horace, as follows: “To dread the castigations of an uncle's tongue,” and “Don’t come the uncle over me.” It is this ‘classical connotation of “uncle,” lost in correct speech, that has survived in our modern slang to throw light on a curious detail of a former day.

That depends upon the boy. There are many men of many minds and every man has a different mind about women - Some men like 'em tall, some like 'em short. Some are crazy about haby dolls, and others adore the goddess type. Some men like chatterbox while others prefer girls who are gifted listeners. Some men like girls w | brains, while others are only attracted by beautiful morons. Flappers n a hit with some men, while others only fall for the old-fashioned girl. It is all a matter of taste, as you can-see by looking about you and | observing that no one particular type of femininity has a monoply on mascu- line attention. or has cornered the matrimonial market. In fact, homely women and living pictures, blondes and brugettes, short-haired anl long-: haired, clever and dull girls capture husbands in about equal proportion. Generally speaking, however, the average young man is attracted by what you might call the average girl—that is, the girl who is not ultra in any way. For instance, he likes a girl who Is pretty rather than beautiful. He likes her to be easy on the eyes, but not pulchritudinous enough to stop traffic. 14 is signficant that the best-looking girl in any circle is rarely the most popular or the one who has the most attentions from men. And she seldom makes the best match. Theoretically, men are the slaves of beauty, but they are content to worship it from afar, and when it comes to marrying they are far more likely to pick out a chromo to hang on their walls than they are a living picture. Similarly, they like the girl who is intelligent, but not too intelligent. | They pass up the girl who is beautiful but dumb, but they flee from the high- brow as from the plague. They like the girl who has a good. peppy line of conversation and who dosen’t force a chap to work like a coal heaver to entertain her; but wild horses couldn't drag them a second time to see a girl who discoursed on intellectual topics and was one of our really serious thinkers. LSO they like a girl who dresses well, but not extravagantly. They like to be seen out with a girl who looks smart, and well groomed, and up to the minute, and who knows how to wear her hair and fix her complexion | and pick out a hat. No human rag bags or last vear’s birds' nests for them. | But nothing scares a man off more quickly than for a girl to dress like a dally hint from Paris. He begins figuring on the cost of all of gt glad | raiment, and it gives him cold feet. . He isn’t looking for a wife whoSe shoe 5ill would be more than twice what he earns a month. A boy likes a girl who does things, provided she doesn't do them too well. No man is looking out for a clinging vine in these days. Neither is he | seeking for a female to substitute for him as the sturdy oak He wants a girl to be athletic, but he does not want one who is stronger | than he is and who can outwalk him or outswim him. He likes a girl to| be able to play a good game of tennis and golf, but he doesn't want one who can give him a handicap and then beat him at it. The popular girls are those who are content just to string along and play second fiddle to men Boys like girls who meet them half way, but who don't pursue them A boy wants a girl to show that she likes him, that she is interested in him | jand finds his soclety agreeable. When he takes her to some place of amusement he wants her to show | that she appreciates his courtesy, and that she is grateful for the good time | he gave her; but he doesn’t want her to run after him-and pester him with | attentions. And nothing disgusts him so quickly as for her to be always calling him up on the telephone and trying to make dates with him It makes him feel as if she were badgering him to come to see her when he doesn't want to do it, and that she is setting a trap for him and will get him if he doesn’t watch out S B { VEN when a boy falls in love with a girl, he doesn’t want her to be too easy to get. He wants some fun of the chase, some thrill of anxiety, | some exhilaration of the conquering-hero stuff at the end. He wants to feel as if he had captured a wild bird, not as if a barnyard chicken had come to roost on his shoulder of its own accord. | ‘A boy likes a girl to be independent, but not aggressive or bossy. A rubber stamp doesn't raise many thrills in a man’s breast, nor does a bowl of mush and milk pique his appetite for more. The girl who has no opinions of her own. no ideas of her own, makes a dull companion of whom men soon weary, but the girl who knows it all, and who is determined to do her own way and make everybody else do it. too, gets on his nerves. He foresees that she will be a henpecker wife and shies off accordingly. The girl that men like is the girl who is independent enough to stand on her own feet, but who is willing to do a_ little leaning on a strong masculine arm; who can get along very well without men, and so makes the man she favors feel that her liking him is a compliment; who has her own opinions, but flatters a man by permitting him to argue her out of them | girls, but not too gay.

If only Stanley were mnot ich she would have felt better about coming 4 Resting on the edge of a Florentine | chair, she stared with fascinated eves at the Italian furniture, the tapestry on the wall, the pictures, the books in rich and beautiful bindings. the wicker bird cages, the flowerlike bowl of Venetian glass in which brightly colored goldfish swam around amid exotic seaweed. Yes, she wished with all her heart that Stan- lev was—well, not really poor, but less oppressively rich. Then, in the midst of all his for- eign-looking splendor, her eyes, wan- dering about the room, were arrested | by an object which appeared as out of place as herself. After she had once looked at it she found that she could not look anywhere else. On a little table near the fireplace there stood a workbasket filled with stock- ings that needed darning—just an ordinary workbasket made of willow. It was the kind of basket that Aunt Matilda and Aunt Louisa used, only in this case the stockings she saw, after a minute, were really socks, black and gray socks of fine, soft silk, which had been worn into holes |in places. In one of them the darn- ing egg had been dropped and a | needle with a long thread in it was stuck carelessly into the pile, as if !it had been thrust there by some one | who had been called suddenly away {from her work. Poor Stanley! He must have worn out all those socks, such nice ones, too, and flung them aside because there was’nobody to imend them. Well, she was thankful | now. though she had often complain- ed of it, that she was brought up to be practical. At the sound of a step in the hall she withdrew her gaze from the workbasket and stared at the gold- fish. A minute later she heard a brisk, composed voice saying: “Why, you can't be the nurse! You are | scarcely more than a child, and this is a serious case.” | Turning her eves, which had been | fixed on the goldfish, she met the astonished regard of a dark. pleasant- looking woman. whose hair. just sprinkled with gray. was brushed carelessly back from her forehead, and | whose large. firm figure was begin- ning ever so slightly to spread. She wore the serene air of 2 woman who has passed through the furnace of (Continued from Yesterday's Star.)

Tl get it the first thing tomorrow on my way back from school.” She paused and looked as grave as if she were solving a problem in arith metic. Then, after a minute or two of what appeared to be the deepest concentration, she said resolutely, T promised Gerty to spend the night with her. Her mother is away, and she doesn’t_like staying in the house all alone.” How easy lying was, easier | than speaking the truth! But why did | she always have to embroider false- | hoods just as she embroidered her plain muslin underclothes? She walked through the entrance of | the apartment house, and from the | entrance into the large white hall. Here an attendant in green, just like the footman in a fairy palace, sprang up at her side, and she asked in a volce which sounded stern because she was trying so hard to make it steady for Mr. Stanley Kenton. The fairy footman waved her to the elevator, but when she sought to enter it a second | attendant in green inquired if she was the nurse? “Orders are that 1 ghall take up nobody but nurses and doc- tors.” For an instant she hesitated. “Yes, T am the nurse,” she replied, after re’ flection, and stepped past him into the elevator. It was perfectly true. Hadn't she come all this distance to nurse Stanley? They shot upward so suddenly that she caught at the iron grille for sup- port. s it very far?* she asked while her heart palpitated. . “Tenth floor,” responded the attend- ant, gazing straight upward. Then they stopped as quickly as they started, and he had the manner of letting her out of a cage as he opened the door of the elevator, ‘Apartment on the right.” he rapped out like a machine before he shot dpwn again. She walked to the door he had indi- | cated. and with her hand stretched out to knock she stood divided be- tween the longing for Stanley and the impulse to turn and run down those white marble staivs which she could | see in the distance. While she still ‘nesitated. the sound of the returning elevator reached her, and she ran quickly.

If this competent-looking wem- | an was a sister or an aunt of Stan ley's. she supposed she had the right to question her. “You knew Stanley “We met there. in Virginta®" last Spring when he was T thought—T thought— “Walt a minute,” said the other. quietly. Rising, she went quickly out of the room and returned almost im- mediately with a cup of coffee on a little tray. “You look faint. I'm sorry there isn't any breakfast yet but we have coffee made early for the nurses. Do you take cream and sugar? She put the tray down on the table beside the workbasket and Zave the cup to_the girl. “Drink it while you talk. Tt will make you feel better. So you kmew Stanley in Virginia?" Sally Byrd nodded. “And you fell in love with each other. Well, you're pretty enough, and I suppose he is charming enough, though I never quite understand that part of it. This time Sally Byrd did not nod. She only stared with tragic eyves over the brim of the cup. The coffee did make a Wonderful difference. She felt it go all over her, just like happi ness, only more staying. The other woman sat down in the chair by the table, and, picking up the sock with the darning egg inside of it, examined the hole with meticu: lous attention through a pair of rim- less glasses which she had slipped on her nose. Then she drew the toe of the sock lightly over the egg and ran her needle in precise stitches round the hole. “That was Spring. she remarked, without glancing up. “and this is Autumn. A long time for a love affair to last.” “It isn't a love affair, Sally Byrd, in anguish. “It is—oh, it is——" She broke down and began to cry softly. A miserable feeling had de- scended on her out of the clouds. She felt vaguely that her bright, beautiful romance had been’ pricked like a bub- ble and was melting away into soap- suds. Glamour had suddenly depart- ed.

There was a singu lar detachment about her, as if all shades of feeling had been absorbed by the fronic point of view. She pos sessed the dignity which distingulshes the spectator of life from the protag onist. Her unfashionable garments for she wore an odd blouse and skirt | with a courage which had become the | better part of discretion—could not | make h commonplace.
