WOMAN’S PAGE. Fashion Changes Are Hard to Find BY MARY MARSHALL. hesitate to wear these new home- made fashions. They remember the time when the American woman who had bought clothes in Paris came back with something to make her neighbors look up and gasp. By a trip abroad she could get a good six- month start of her Américan asso- ciates. But times have changed enormous- ly. Smart London women who liked to dress in the Paris mode run over to Parls and back for a day’s shop- ping trip—or, rather, they fly—and | new fashions are sent by cable de- ption to America and new frocks | are shown within a week of the time | they are first conceived in the Paris | workrooms. They are available in American department stores usually quite as soon as In the Paris maga- zins. Moreover, fashions honestly are not changing very rapidly at present. The Parislan seems to be supremely contented‘with the general stamp of fashion as it s. We Americans can get no thrills over short skirts in Paris, for they are worn even shorter at_home. A sort of post-war desire for peace and_tranquillity seéms to be current in Paris. 1t is not lethargy, nor dull- ness, but a willingness to enjoy the | things that please. and at present | fashions seem to the French woman very pleasant indeed.

And another comment that Americans often make after having visited some of the most veiebrated of French dressmaking establishments is: “Of course they didn’t show us any of their very new- est things. Why, they haven't had wunything there that we haven't had in America.” In England it is the same way. A prominent London dressmaker after & short trip to Parls came back with the comment: “I saw nothing of any special novelty either in design or material. We are doing those things just as well in England now.” Doubtless the trouble is a lack of understanding of the real genius of the great French designer and of the temperament of the fashionable Paris- ian. Americans at present seem to vearn for something new and very different in clothes and they look to Paris to give it to them. They might originate their own noveltles, but without French precedent they would PALE HANDS BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. Leila Marsh, who has always been accustomed to idleness, is left without money. Mr. Hemingway, the family lawyer, gives her a check for $500 and advises her to train herself for a position. she was invited anywhere there were insistent questions as to what she In- tended to do. She was rather light and airy about answering these questions. “I haven't made up my mind,” shs would say evasively. “I never do until the last minute.” EORKER R Jax. The time came when she was Her Mother’s Daughter. If Lella had taken Mr. Hemingwa sdvice to heart she wouldn’t ha been her mother’s own daughter. It had been Mrs. Marsh's philosophy to live from day to day, and Leila, with 0 in her possesion, proceeded to do the same thing. Each night she told herself opti- mistically that something was sure to happen, and when at the end of the week Mr. Hemingway stopped paving her expenses she still remained at the | ment forced to the realization that she was slowly being dropped. Invitations had become few and far between, and > | whenever she encountered any of her friends on the street or in the depart- it stores she felt something strained In their attitude toward her. Her pride received a terrific blow on the day Enid Lombard passed her on the street without speaking. Lella was certain Enid had seen her; there was no doubt of it. But she had passed by with affected unconscious- ness, pretending to be utterly absorb- hotel. During these days she did not think very much; she just drifted along. al- though it did occur to her finally that 1f it came to the worst she could mar- rv_ Tommy Holden. | Just before the crash Tommy had proposed to her. She had refused him, | of course, because she wasn't the| elightest bit in love with him. She| never could take him seriously. But| now she felt that it might not be a| bad idea to encourage him to propose | again, and in consequence whenever ghe met him anywhere she was un- usnally sweet to him. As it happened, however, Tommy ehowed no disposition to be serious. He was pleasantly engaging, but Leila felt & certain cautiousness in his man- ner. At first she laughed at herself for this suspicion. Of course, Tommy still cared. He couldn't have changed In such a short time, but gradually che was made to realize that he had changed; he was different. He avoided | being alone with her—Tommy. who | had begged and impiored her to marry him There were other things that were radually forced upon her attention. no longer rallled about had.

That_night Leila forced herseif to face things squarely. Her cheeks burned hotly at the memory of Enid's snub, but she realized at last that it was only an outward symbol of the way all her so-called friends were feel- ing. They had been kind to her be- cause they had been sorry for her. They had done their duty, but realiz- ing that things couldn’t go on for- ever, they were planning to drop her. Upheld by the fierceness of her pride, she made up her mind to cut herself off from every one she had known, and on the next day she paid her bill and moved her things down to a secondrate hotel near the the. atrical district. It was there In the dreary sixth- floor bedroom that full realization dawned upon her. Mr. Hemingway had warned her and she had ignored his warning. She had refused to see things as they really were. Indeed., she had drifted along from day to day, spending her money. until now it was almost gone. She must find work at once, and the hopelessness of the help wanted col- umns convinced her that it would not be easy. (Continued In tomorrow" Star.)

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are excellent and remain so until dusk, when they cease to be actively fa- vorable, but become benign and more emotional. Any task or new under- taking, provided it is not speculative, in which you are interested, may be Jaunched with every confidence of ulti- mate success. Agreements can be converted into duly executed con- tracts. Financial commitments can be assumed. Changes, even though of a radical nature, can be made. In the evening your activities can cease and vour attention can be focused on a vetrospect of the day's work. It would, be expedient, too, to vield to the af- fectionate impulses that will be en- gendered. Children born tomorrow are not destined, according to the signs, to %o through infancy without experi- encing some of the ilinesses usually associated with babyhood. If proper nutrition be glven, however, there is no reason to anticipate anything but a successful issue, and the attainment of a healthy and vigorous adulthood. Their characters will be frank and generous. Their natures will be lov- ing and affectionate. They will not display any abnormal intelligence, but will show an ordinary devotion to study and a love of outdoor sports and recreations. As they grow in vears they will become introspective and settle down, in a persevering way, to the work of accomplishment. 1f tomorrow is your birthday you have great ambition and sufficient will-power, if you, exercise it, to achieve, but a love of proscrastina- tion and a desire for ease and com- fort that, combined, and unless suc- cesstully fought, will always stand in the wag of the realization of your dreamy. You are never keen to do today what you can put off until tomorrow, and are always indisposed to sacrifice your own personal con- venience for the sake of what the fu- ture might have in store for you. You have artistic tendencies and are fond of music, as well as of travel. You have a very active brain, an alert mind and exceptional ability. You, however, lack concentration and a determination to work unceasingly and untiringly. You are very con- ventional and careful of appearances. Very adaptable, popular With your many friends and loved very dearly by your family. Y Well known persons born on that date are: Gideon Welles, editor and poliician: Charles G. Greene. jour- nalist; George B. Markle, coal op erator: Charles Walcot, actor and playwright; Harry L. Koopman, poet; James E. Russell, educator. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mrs. E. C. writes: “My baby boy at birth welghed 91 pounds. and now at 31 months weighs over 16 pounds. He is breast fed every three hours. Is his gain too great? Would it be advisable to put him on a four-hour schedule? He seems almost famished at the end of the three-hour period. He sleeps well at night, but is wake- ful sometimes during the day. Could this be caused by overfeeding? He has a rash on his face which comes and goes, sometimes almost disappearing and at other times quite red. Could vou tell me what I could for this?" O e There seems little doubt | that the baby is getting more food | than he needs. The large weight. | which is a tremendous gain, even con- sidering his birth welght, the rash and | the poor sleeping, would all confirm | this belief. 1t would be better to nurse the bab once in four hours. and, if necessary, give just plain boiled water, an ounce or 80, at the end of the three-hour period until he gets used to going four hours, The fact that he sleeps so well at night, when he is not being fed, would indicate that he might sleep fully as well in the day time if he didn’t get| £0 much to eat. Your milk is very rich (probably the cause of the large gain in weight and also the rash) and you can im- prove this by more exercise; less rich foods (butter, cream, fat gravies, etc and possibly giving the baby a tea. spoon or so of boiled water or !hln‘ barley gruel before nursing. Keep the nursing period to 10 minutes, not to exceed 15. i, The Stars and Stripes was first car- ried around the world by the ship Columbia of Salem, Mass., in 1790. g Ordgina TORCH CUP CONE Ask for it by Name Begs Parents to Weloome * Daughters’ Beaus The Open Home Door UMMW&DM Wise Are the Parents Who Make Home So At- tractive That Their Girls Will Delight to Have Company ih Its Shelter. V¥ FATHER will not let boys come to our house, so 1 meet them on the street and go with them to places of amusement. I hate to lle to my parents and deceive them, but what else can I do? A girl must have dates.” “My mother doesn't like the young man I am engaged to, 80 she has forbidden him the house, and we have to meet secretly. We aren't ready to marry yet and we would like to wait a year or two, but it is so uncom- fortable hiding around in corners that we have decided to elope. There isn't a day that I don't get half a dozen letters like these, and as 1 read them I marvel at the criminal stupldity of parents who are depriving their daughters of the protection of a home at the very time that they need it most, and who throw them out upon the street to meet alone its dangers and temptations. Still more do I wonder at the lack of intelligence that makes parents believe that they can issue a command that will change the whole trend of the times and alter a girl's entire nature—that because they forbid a girl to think about boys she will cease to take any interest in youthful shelks and drugstore cowboys; that because they do not wish her to g0 to partles and have good times she will be content to sit at home of an evening and read fmproving books. . Why, dotty old King Canute, sitting in his chair on the seashore for- bidding the tide to rise, was not more powerless to stay the waves than are parents able, by their command, to check the desires, the emotions, the passion for personal liberty in their children’s breasts. So the father and mother who refuse to let their daughters have their beaux visit them in their own homes befool themselves if they think that they have thereby eliminated the boy proposition from their girls' lives, and that their daughters never see or talk or play around with voung men. On the contrary, all that they have done s to throw a halo of romance over every commonplace youth and make meeting him in stolen rendezvous have a spice of adventure that appeals to every drop of sporting blood in them. 'HEREFORE, the fathers and mothers of today may just as well accept the fact that every girl between 15 and 25 is going to have beaux if she can possibly get them. She will have them decently and respectably and innocently at home if she can and if her parents will co-operate with her. Of course, parents justify themselves in refusing to let their girls have their company at home by saying that Mary and Sally are too young to have dates. Perhaps this is true, but when boys begin hanging around Mary and Sally and coming to the door with them, the problem has passed from the academic stage to the concrete. It is no longer a question of whether it is '.b’e’::nforAM:n' ;ind Sall,\r" to have beaux, but of how and where they are to have k nd wise are the parents who ask the youngsi B give them a cordial welcome. P L B e Mary and Sally are going to meet Tom and Harry If they wi y J y want to, no matter how much father and mother forbid it, and it is far better and safer for them to meet in Mary's and Sally's homes, under their mothers’ eyes, than ::hz:fl:’c:rnertdrfix store \\r"(th no one to chaperon them.
