WOMAN'’S PAGE. Color Possibilities for the Season BY MARY MARSHALL. Batou chose the petunia, Lanvin preferred the violet, while Chanel and Vionet, according to Paris correspond- ents, looked upon the unromantic egg- plant and saw therein not only food for the inner man, but a color of rare possibilities. The gtage was apparently set for purples. There are seasons when wemen will wear purples and seasons Tulie G\v (Lo ké; ] TIERED HAT OF PURPLE VEL- VET. when they will not. Moreover, cer- tain purplgs prove acceptable one Sea- son—other purples the next. This sea- %on women seem to be extremely open minded regarding purples. They like almost every shade of this royal color —or at least there are some women who can be persuaded to wear any shade and there is hardly a woman but can find some shade to suit her taste, if not her complexion. There seems to be a sentiment In favor of “off shades”—blues that skid over to the side of purples or else toward green—greens that show con- tact with blues or else with yellows, violets that are slightly bluish or slightly reddish. The clear, pure tone does not have such strong appeal. It does mnot seem sufficiently sophisti- cated. Besides, the clear tones of green, red, blue or purple, unless quite dark or extremely pale, are dif- ficult te wear. They demand clear skin, vivid or very fair gplant, or aubergine, to use the French word, is certainly sophisticated enough—from this point of view— even though it is inspired by a vege- table.

There is nothing so upsetting as uncertainty. It is even true that sometimes® the certainty that things are going to be wi than you had expected is better than uncertainty as to what is going to happen. Danny Meadow Mouse had been thinking more and more about Nanny Meadow Mouse and home on the Green Mea- dows. The claws of Short-ear the Marsh Owl always reminded him of home. He would hear them scratching on the old log under which his nest was, and right away he would think of home and wish he were there. But, come daytime, Danny always found something to do, and so he kept putting off and putting off the idea of starting for home. Perhaps the fact that he hadn’t any idea where home was had something to do with it. But at last there came a night when Danny didn't get a wink of sleep. To begin' with, Short-ear arrived extra early. He took up his usual perch on that old log under which Danny was living. He had been there only a little while, scratching the old log with his toenails as to make Danny uncom- fortable, when who should come along but Reddy Fox. It wasn't the Reddy who lives on the Green Meadows, but a cousin of his by the same name who living down there at the beach. i00d evening, Neighbor Fox,” sald “How is everything with . so, Neighbor Owl.

Danny could hear him and held on to his tail to keep it from shaking with fright. “Fat Mouse! Fat Meadow Mouse!” said Short-ear, and snapped his bill. Danny felt as if that bill pinched him when it snapped “Yes, sir, fat Meadow Mouse,” said Red “I don't know of any better eating in all the great world than fat Meadow Mice.

At all High Class DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Should the Married School Teacher Return to Her Profession and Hire Some One to Care for Her Child?—Other Problems. EAR MISS DIX: Iam a young married woman with one child and before my marriage I was a teacher. My husband earns only enough to give us a decent living; but he and I, both college graduates, want more of life than just a decent living. He feels that we would both be happler should I follow my profession and let a capable nurse attend to the baby. I would love to teach, and the only hindrance I see is that I feel it an idjustice to my child, for I know that no one can, or will, také the pains to train the little mind and body that I would. My husband is in a profession that throws him into contact with the most important men in our city, but his salary does not enable us to get out of the rooming-house class. What shall I do? In the end, what is best and fairest to baby? . MRS. B. G. my Answer: As a general principle, a woman's first duty is to give her personal attention to her children, but there are exceptions to all rules, and there are cases when a mother can do more for her children by earning money ll‘;&n she can by washing their faces and fixing their bottles with her own hands. Undoubtedly a child misses much who does not have the dally and hourly companionship of its mother, who does not have its mother’s brooding tenderness always about it and its mother to form and mold its plastic little character. . But these advantages are more than offset by a poverty that forces it to be brought up in the wrong environment, that denies it the right associations and advantages of education. It would seem that this is the crux of the dilemma in which you are impaled. If you stay at home and act as your own nursemaid you give your child the benefit of your personal care and influence, but you doom it to & stratum of life to which you feel that you and your husband do not belong and you cut it off from social and educational advantages that you will want it to have later on. If you go back to work you will leave your child in the hands of hirelings, but you help your hushand to get a start in the world and you give your child comforts and opportunities that it would not otherwise have. So it seems to me, under the circumstances, that the lesser evil will be for you to resume your profession, for the money you make will be of more advantage to your child than your personal services. Especially is this true while it is still small, for it makes little difference to a baby who takes care ‘ot it so long as it is well taken care of. And you will be far more likely in this way to obtain a flappy home for your child to grow up in, because your husband is evidently getting dis- couraged and rebellious at the way of life his lack of money forces upon him, arld not many men’s love survives that. As a well dressed teacher in a proper home setting you will be much more attractive to him than you will be as a shabby household drudge. After all, when you hire some one to take care of your child instead of doing it yourself, you will only be doing what rich women do who have nurses and nursery governesses for their children. Your teaching will not keep you more hours away from home every day than the average society woman spends in amusing herself. At DOROTHY DIX. IDEAR MISS DIX: As you are a woman, I suppose you understand a girl's mind better than a man ever can, no matter how much he tries. I am in love with a girl who says that she regards me only as a friend. I have tried to make her jealous, but she apparently doesn’t notice when I go with other girls. She is always pleasant and agreeable, but not sentimental; yet when I try to break away from her she always brings me back. What do you think of the situation? JUST A MAN. Answer: I think that she is uncertain of her own feelings toward you and perhaps she doesn’t want to marry anybody just yet. Evidently she cares a great deal for you, or else she would not keep you dangling on, for nothing bores a girl more than a suitor who doesn’t suit. You will win her if you have the patience to play a waiting game. The man who camps on a girl's doorstep and refuses to be dislodged almost always gets her in the end. DOROTHY DIX.

ADVERTISEMENT FEATURES ADVERTISEMENT International Interest In ports Changes An Entire Mode The Formality of the “Roaring Nineties” Completely Passes By SARAH VAN RENSSELAER HE history of a style is often as alluring and colorful a tale as that of our own country. From some significant event, or as likely from one equally inconsequential, may emanate an idea that revolutionizes tke style of nations. The opening of King Tut’s tomb with its glittering revelation of prehistoric ‘art influ- enced the mode by the geometrical designs of things Egyptlan. The Great War brought an era of tailored, severe fashions in subdued colors. The victory and gaiety brought the reign of frivolous fashions—rich silks, brocades, chiffons and satins. The vivid personality of a Raquel Meller brought a Spanish vogue. And g6 on ad infinitum. Now, the spotlight of the world is turned to the fleld of sports. Not since Athens flourished has so much international attention been ac- corded to sports. America throws her glove in the ring, too. The coun- try is at play. She sends her Helen Wills—her Gertrude Ederle—her Bobby Jones—to compete with the best of other nations. From the tennis courts of Cannes and Wimbledon came the inspiration like kid, feels like kid and wears like kid—yet it costs ever so much less. Of course, it is exclusively Kayser's, 80 to get it be sure to insist on “Chamoisette.”®* In them you will find the best in style, quality and serviceability—and the thrifty soul will appreciate their economy. for the dominant features of the new mode—tailored, rakish simplicity. Lenglen’ssleeveless frock and Helen's trim little two-piece outfit were the beginning. A few days after their first game the ultra spectators were wearing similar costumes— then spec- tators and participants the world over took up the fashion. Hosiery crept into the spotlight forits share in fashion honors by new shades. Beige shades, flesh shades and subtle grays all vie for pre- dominance and seem to share honors equally. In ‘he wake of the sports frocks came the sports underthings. The abbreviated panties, the shorter vests, the combination step-ins. And as usual, the first to present the new fashions to America was no other than Kayser. They are ever alert to a new trend, and very wise, too, for never do they lose sight of the old- fashioned, high standard of quality in this fev'erish style-mad life of ours. In days like these it’s a relfef to find something dependable—and Kayser quality is the soul of de- pendability. Their “Italian”® silk is made of all pure silk and dyed with pure dyes and the underwear is cut to fit—not skimped—with the ex- clusive Kayser “Marvelfit”® feature that s further assurance of longer ‘wear and better fit. Here again, in style Kayser excels, introducing every variation of these colors that have been favored by the smart women both abroad and here. And here again Kayser combines style with serviceability. They bring the same fine quality to the fashion- ing of their hosiery that they do to underwear and gloves. ‘With the sports costumes, gloves have come into their own again. That seems like a paradox—but you never can sanalyze some of the vagrant ways of Dame Fashion. It’s as much a breach of all fashion etiquette to be seen without gloves as it is to eat with a knife. Every pair is made of 1009, pure thread silk and 100% pure dyes and is full fashioned. And one of the cleverest innovations is the" Slipper- Heel,”* designed to give a grace of line and slenderness to the ankle. These new gloves aren’t merely hand coverings either. They’ve very definite styles for every occasion. In the Kayser fall showing of ““Chamois- ettes”® every one of the new stylesis included—from the gay, embroi- dered cuffed model to the one-button, nonchalant-fitting taiiored glove. ‘When you are buying underwear, gloves or hosiery, if you insist on Kayser, you'll never have to worry for fear that they’re not smart nor wearable nor economical nor serv- iceable.
