WOMAN’S PAGE.’ Relation Between Frocks and Hats BY MARY MARSHALL. Most milliners feel convinced that dress fashions follow hat fashions— and of course the dressmakers are qQuite su at fashions in hats q was necessary in order to give an effect of height to the figure. On the other hand, the milliners might as reasonably say that the close-fitting, small hat brought about the fashion for the scant, straight-line frocks and that now there are a few more flares about our frocks because we are be- ginning to wear wide-brimmed hats again and hats with ballooning crqwns, Probably the honors are easy. Or, rather, millinery and dress fashions are just two manifestations of the same changing taste that we call fashion. Women wore enormous poke bonnets with_enormously ballooning skirts in mid-Victorian days—because the spirit of that age was best manl- fested by such monstrosities of fash- jon. But that doesn't mean that poke honnets must always go with balloon- ing skirts quite concelvable that even larger poke bonnets might be worn with skirts shorter than those of the present day. To our eves the effect would seem transcendantly absurd—but it conceivable, of course, that taste and conditions might change until such a combina- {tion of clothes would be the only thing that looked smart.

One Sign of a Gentleman. ‘Oh, say, Jerry,” sang out George, “guess who 1 saw today downtown in her car—Mildred O'Brien! Gosh! She looked great. Alice, Jerry's flancee, turned her head ever so slightly and looked faint- ly interested—there was a curious glit- ter in her eye. For four long years Mildred had held sway over Jerry's heart—then, sud- denly, without warning, had let him down. Alice hated Mildred—hated her inso- lent, golden beauty, her smart clothes, her calm amused interest in Jerry. “Mildred’s a darn good sort.” This from Anthony, who had nothing to lose. “Don't you think so, Jerry?” Alice shot her boy friend a deadly glance, and he shifted uneasily. ““Yeah,” he admittedly slowly. all right, T guess.” - Alice snorted and bridled indignant- ly. Every one else ignored the in- cident. Later, Buddy Gorman Jolned the party. THe'd once been rather keen on Helen Swift and, for a while the smell of orange blossoms had been dis- tinctly perceptible. But the fair Helen had drifted off, and Buddy was out of luck and love. “Hello, Buddy,” called Tony. “Will it injure your bleeding heart to learn that the fair Helen is coming to tea here today—with her latest suitor?" Not a bit,” srowled Buddy savage- . “Gosh, that girl gives me a pain. How I could ever have looked at her twice? She talks the head off any man. Ugh! It gives me the shivers to think of her! Let's talk about some- thing pleasant.” That evening, as Jerry drove his fiancee home, she turned on him sud- denly with feroclous energy. “You make me sick, yvou do!” she cried. *T believe you're still in love with that Mildred cat. 1've never heard vou say a word against her in your life. Al ways saying nice things about her. If you were really through with her, you'd feel different about it. Look at the way Buddy goes on about Helen. He's well over that. But you, you Jjust mumble when Mildred’s name is mentioned. If you're too crazy about her to admit her faults, you can't care much about me. Poor Jerry! He could only redden and stammer and protest his utter de. votion for sweet Alice—but he could never convince that strong-minded young person. He had got himself in bad from the start—just through he- ing a gentleman. None of his feeling for Mildred re mained. But he had loved her once in a way, and they had been good friends. She had never done anything to cause him to lose his respect for her. Therefore, he couldn't find it in his heart to turn on her and razz her. He liked her—thought she'was a nice girl. She'd been sweet to him once, and it didn’t seem to him the gentlemanly thing to turn around and slander her just because her feeling for him had changed. His jealous little flances worrled herself sick over his loyalty to his former sweetheart, while she should have been congratulating herself over his decency and chivalr: Buddy Gorman's was the usual, sour-grapes. bovishly ungallant atti tude.

In your lawn. and along the road- side grows one of the commonest of weeds, the little oxalis that people so often overlook because it is abundant everywhere. But you will find people going to infinite pains to hunt for flowers much less beautiful, merely because they are rare. The rarity of u flower is really only an accidental matter, and has nothing to do with its beauty or its biological interest. You may know the oxalis—pro- nounced, by the way, with the accent on the first syllable, not ox-alice, as is sometimes said—by its small, reg- ular flowers of clear buttercup vyel- low or sometimes violet, and its pretty little three-lobed leaves, like those of a clover., The taste of the plant is pleasantly acidulous; in fact, the deadly poison, oxalic acid, is derived from this in- nocent-looking plant. An adult would have to eat a meadowful. though, to get oxalic acid poisoning from our | plants. One'of the strangest of the oxalis family is a pretty little creep- ing one, often seen under the flower benches of greenhouses, but never elsewhere. This little weed has no known home, but knocks about the world In its chosen but modest place, in the company of florists. Several species produce small pe- culiar flowers that are precoclously fertilized in bud, in addition to the larger flowers that we see. Even thess have their differences dn the same flower. Some have a. long style and short stamens, others short sta- mens and short style. Long ago, Darwin showed that this worked to- ward increased fertility during fertili- zation, and is one of the most highly developed and wondrous of the mecha- nisms of plant life. The humble little oxalls may he nothing but a dooryard weed, but, as in thins slice of Swiss cheese and two strips of bacon. Cut both the cheese and the bacon so as to make them fit the bread neatly. Place the pan con- taining the sandwiches under the gas flame in the oven until the cheese is melted and the bacon crisp. This makes what is known as an open sandwich. the case of most of the weeds, there is something about it that gives it won- derful fertility and the ability to spread itself over much of the world. .

Of course, vou n give some one else the responsibility | of deciding, but nobody can judge better than you who live in the hous: Shutters make awnings unnece sary in some cases. On the other hand, many people prefer to use awn: ings because they admit more light and air. It is also unnecessary to buy awnings for sides of the house that are not exposed to the sun Often the back of a house is shaded by trees, and to put awnings there would be a sheer waste of money. No law compels you to select the same type of awnings for use throughout the house. Often window conditions are di For exam ple, hooded awnings help to increase ventilation, and so they are particu arly desirable for vour bedroom win. dows, where one wants all the lgh® breezes one can get. Casement win- dows require an awning with an addi- tional rod to support the roof of the awning g0 that the window sash may swing out freely and without injury to_the canvas, . When there Is a group of awnings on a level with the same exposure, single unit awnings are recommended. The idea of the single unit awning is to it is oply necessary to raise or lower one awning instead of two or three. However, if you have bay windows vou have something else to cousider. - have three different ex- and when you want one win- dow shaded you may want the ad jacent one uncovered. In that case individual awnings for each window are necessary. Then vou can exclude light from one window -while vou are admitting air to another. Many types of architecture require posur ve time and effort, because | windows of unusual shapes and sizes, and it is perplexing for the housewife to know what to select in the way of awnings. Naturally, » buy awnings that will per- their functions in every way at the same time be trim and neat looking. If you are in doubt to what type of awnings you should use, ask for sketches of awn- ings. Take the trouble to look at other houses about town and pic- tures of country homes in magazines. You may tind reproduced in a maga- ne or newspaper just the type of awnings you need, but have never happened to notice before, Whatever window awnings you de- cide upon, they should always be the same color and design as porch awn- A uniform effect is always de- ® The plainer your awnings, and the less scalloping and slashing you have them finished with, the more lasting will be vour satisfaction.

What do you say relative to the| Bible as the basis of a revealed re- ligion, or as to its truth generally in answer to the ideas advanced by Thomas Paine in his “Age of Rea- son”? Answer—Tom Paine's ideas on re- vealed religion were completely pul- verized by Bishop Butler of Durham in his controversy with the eighteenth century delsts, to whose ranks Paine belonged. Why, then, spend time dis- cussing obsolete {deas about the Bible, whether they are for or against the claims of Biblical revelation? If you wonld know the most vital and sat{sfving theories with regard to that book read some of the recent works of its constructive and histori- cal students. Their methods show that Biblical literature was a gradual development, culminating in the ethical teaching of the prophets of the Old Testament and in the sublime gospel of the Christ of the New Testament. The very word “revealed” has in course of time acquired new mean- ings, so that it cannot he satisfacto- rily discussed from the old viewpoint. unless one writes volumes of explan: {tion upon the arguments employed.
