WOMA N’S PAGE Ermine and Mink for Spring Wraps BY MARY MARSHALL. A woman who made her fi hood visit to Paris almost aK0 recalls vividly enough her ment at the widespread use st girl- {langer than that was very bad house- ing. ut those French women wore fur eck pieces in Midsuramer—and after ou got used to the strangeness of it, | vou had to admit_that the effect was | not unpleasant. But no one thought | then that we Americans would even- | tunily become as addicted to the prac- "tice of wearing furs in Summer as any Coatinental. One thing that makes the wearing of fur in warm weather so much more pleasant at the present time is that the furriers have now at thelr command o considerable list of furs tha are specially appropriate for warm weather —light, soft peltry that adds very little warmth to the g ment which it adorns. Frequenti these furs are those worn by fur-bear- ing animals in Summer.

Some of us do not care what we are lled as long as we are called in time for dinner or for whatever else happens to be of moment to us. Others ascribe great importance to the sug- gestion, significance or origin of a name. If some of the latter were to make their names the subject of in- vestigation there might be many changes. Among the most questionable from this point of view of our modern ap- pellations is the term “‘cowboy.” It is a curlous fact that “cowboy, which Immediately brings to mind a picture of Buffalo Bill, sheriffs, six- shooters, bucking broncos and vast cattle ranches—the spirit of the West —had _its beginning in the State of New York. The first cowboys who ever ranged a plain clanked their spurs onswhat are now the golf links of Westchester County. They were & banqd of Tory ma- rauders, who perfodically swooped { down upon the more or less isolated residents, stealing their cattle and do- ing as much damage as they possibly could. Members of thelr own politi- cal party, as well as the Whigs, were the victims of thelr destructive visits. It was their cattle stealing that sarned for them the name of ‘“‘cow- boys.” Thus, by the irony of fate. the valiant heroes of our great West, In July! Back in America no one did that sort of thing 20 years ago. Every sane woman either put her furs up in vedar or camphor at home or sent them to the cold-storage place by the first of June.

THE EVENING SUB ROSA BY MIMI. Whose Fau't? “It isn't my fault that I'm too late to run errands,”” whines the small boy to his mother. “Teacher kept me in for being bad.” But that didn’t help poor mother, nervous and flustered, with dinner time so near and no sup- plies in. . , It isn't my fault your letters aren't ready,” Mr. B's stenographer told him. “I've had a terrible lot of trouble with my typewriter today. It wouldn't work.” But that didn't brace up her em- ployer a bit. His letters were of vital importance —ought all to be mailed that very minute. . “Don 'tk so poor,” warned the v “The vegatables never arrl and it was too lute to go for them.” Stll the poor vouns husband, tired and hungry after a day's work, didn't brighten up at this information. “Sorry if thig dress looks awfully messy, but it can’t be helped,” Esther told her fianco as they started off for the dance. *'I spilled coffee all down the front of it, just this evening, and couldn’t possibly get all the stain out in time for the jig. And Tom was just as annoyed over her untidy appearance as he had been before she told him it wasn't her fault. Now, of course, all these four thin might very well be nobody's fault—might have been quite unavoid- able—but {t's the attitude of the four speakers which needs to be changed. All four of these people felt that in exonerating themselves of any blame they had done all that was £y, y were sorry that things hadn't panned out as well as could be ex- pected, but as long as they were not to blame, as long as they couldn't reasonably be taken to task, they were satisfied. It’s this attitude that makes poor business women and wives—and, yes, sweethearts. Unless you feel a certain responsi- bility—unless you are genuinely con- cerned with making things go right, come what may, your business, what- ever it may be, will be in disorder. If you have the idea that by shift- ing the blame from your shoulders vou've solved every problem satis- factorily, then you're doomed to failure. The voung business girl mentioned, finding that her typewrite the blink, sald to herself: Well, Mr. B. can't bawl me The housewife's thought was: “Too bad about the vegetables, but I'll just explain to John that I haven't been neglecting my duty. He can't find fault with me.” And the vounger flapper decided that her simple explanation would convince Tom she had meant well— even if she did look awful. Get it out of your head that a good excuse is as satisfactory as a good result. Don't relax gratefully when you can blame something on somebody else with the thought, “That let's me out.” Nothing let's you out of doing yvour Job as it should be done. If you start thinking that way you'll have fewer occasions in which to shift blame to somebody else. . = Luncheon Salad Wash one head of fine lettuce and celery to make one cupful, cutting the celery in thin strips, julienne fash- fon.

STAR, WASHINGTON, BEAUTY CHATS Finding One's Type. It's a wise woman that knqws her own type. Many of us are so busy trying to be something else that we have no time to find out what we really are. It {s a praiseworthy am- bition, trying to be something else, for it shows we have an ideal and are trying to live up to it, even though, years ngo, it led half the young girle %o adopt long curls and Mary Pickford expressions, when they weren't in the least Mary Pickford sort of people, and even though now it leads half of us to try to be boyish, when only about 5 per cent really are the boyish type. )find vour real type and then stick to it, and be as good an example of it as you can. If you are slim and flat and underdeveloped and haven't small hands or small feet, go ahead and be as boyish as possible, with tweeds and low-heeled shoes and tailored blouses with smart, loose cuffs to hide the bigness of the hands, and all that sort of clever disguise. If you are very tiny, be ‘“petite,” wear fluffy clothes and frills and puffed short sleeves and rather high heels. If you are tall, try to culti- vate a more stately style, and wear dresses of rich, plain material like velvet or drapy satins, with long, dignified lines and a very very little bit of trimming. If you are very feminine, accentuate it, for we're having an overdose of ‘“boylshness™ at_present. Beyond this I can't help you. You alone—or your friends—must decide what type you are.
