The girl who specializes in meanings is usually known thoroughly modern and sophisticated friends a “perfect scream” and aply the world's best wise-cracker. She drifts into a room and butts into any ordinary conversation with one of her daring lines—and her au- dience, if composed of old and true friends, reels with laughter. S turn the most harmls and innocent remark into a bit of spicy gossip. Her mind runs to only one type of joke and she contrives to make the most innocuous story sound like n anecdote from one of the raciest French magazines. This unukuai' talent of hers en- dears her to those boys and girls who wre rather keen about being modern and daring. But it gives her a fear- fully black eye wtih the people she meets for the first time—and often these happen to be the folks she s to impress favorably. ave saw Olive on the dance floor and made a beeline for the nearest v ho could introduce him to her. “She’s stunning,” he told his friend enthusiastically. ~ “I'm anxious to meet her.

Doesn’t she ever talk about anything else? I mean, is it ever possible to have a conversation with her which she doesn't try to make sound like risque French novel?” “Very seldom,” the other laughed, unsympathetically. “What's the mat- ter, Dave? It can't be that you're off the fair Olive just because her chat is rather spicy?” “Not exactly that,” answered Dave. “Only 1 don’t get a terrible lot of kick out of talking to a girl whose mind runs along only one line—what- ever that line may be. That girl has a positive obsession about double meanings. She fsn’t happy unless she's ripping off something rather ofi-color. What kind of a mind has she ‘got, anyway?” From which many of you will de- duce that Dave wasn't as modern and sophisticated as his companion. But still there are hundreds upon thousands of young men like him— boys who have a fairly tolerant state of mind, but who draw the line at certain things which girls must not do.

Hints. “Pin a Rose on Me.” That old sing-song refrain about pinning “a rose on me” is still in ef- fect. Flowers are appearing on ladies’ shoulders, and so widespread has been their use that they are almost staples of dress, if they are not already. Buy- ing flowers to be worn on one’s shoulder day after day deserves con- sideration. They can either make or mar one’s appearance in toto, Flowers are not all suitable for all sorts of cloths. For example nobody would think of buying a _delicate orchid for a sports dress. On sports dresses one can economize by making or buying a flower made of the dress's own material. It can be cleaned with the dress, and it always ‘“goes well with it.” Flowers made of leather and feathers are also good because they may be easily detached, and they are unusually durahle. Afternoon dresses require a different sort of flower. Chiffon and silk postes are excellent choices for such dresses, but be sure to remember that the colors must either match or har- monize, the latter being preferable, Flowers may be bought to wear with several dresses, especially if one has a favorite, but one for each costume is desirable.” A flower worn every day gets soiled and worn looking. 3 When buying for evening dresses, only flowers that are soft and light should be considered. Heavy flowers are out of place on fragile material, and may even damage a gown. There are special flowers made for evening gowns of sparkling substance, such as gold or metallic’ cloth, cloth flecked with rhinestones and so forth. Some of these run up in price to appreciable amounts, and restraint must be exer- cised to keep the price of the flower in proportion to the price of the dress. Coat flowers should be made of ex- tremely durable materials. Some of the most serviceable and vet fine ap- pearing ones are made of millin linen and rubberized silk. The latter are especially guaranteed to withstand the ravages of any weather. Women are beginning to buy flow- ers for their value as decorations on otherwise plain or simple dresses. In that event it must be considered from the standpoint of quality with ref- erence to the kind, style and quality of the dress, its size and, of course, its color. When choosing’ flowers for color it should be decided whether they will harmonize or contrast with dress as a background. “Pin a flower on me” is almost as important, one begins to realize, as “pin a dress on me.” Therefore, care in selection is necessary if value received is to in- clude satisfaction in wear.

Mark Burton returns from abroad be- cause of a letter received from Maude Maynard, the aunt of his ward, Jessica Bartletr. " Jessica is about to ‘inherit the principal of her fathker's estate and Maude s afraid a fortune hunter by ihe ‘name of Kaymond Tawnley is prey. ing on her aflections. She asks Mark's nelp’in ‘the matter. Mark tries to estabs lish a friendiy feeling between himself and Jessica. On the night that he arrives She ‘is having a masquerade party and he dances with Peggy Hartley, Jessica's best friend, Later he asks her out to dinner and_the ‘theaier, which thrills Peggy and surprises Jessica CHAPTER X. Peggy Has Dinner With Mark. Mark could not help being amused at Peggy's eagerness to please, her willingness to listen, her wish to be sophisticated, when in reality she was only a little girl. She rested her elbows on the table and looked at him with wide blue eyes. She was playing a new role which fascinated her, but she wasn’t deceiving Mark Burton in the least. He had asked her to dinner for a purpose. His idea was to sound her out about Jessica. Jessica had told him that Peggy was her closest friend. Therefore Peggy ought to know a great deal about this affair between Jessica and voung Townley. He plled her with the most expen- sive dishes. He had even given her a discreet cocktail which delighted her. Mr. Burton was certainly a good sort. She was really crazy about him. He was so distinguished. And the waiters were apparently very much impressed with him. How had she ever managed to capture his interest? She wondered if she ought to try to vamp him a little. But then he was so much older than the men she was accustomed to knowing that he left her at a loss. She had decided that for the present she must adopt a listening, adoring attitude. She had done that the first night and had been successful. When she had arrived at the point where she welcomed eagerly her peach Melba, Mark said lightly: “Tell me about Bunny. You know I haven't seen her in 10 years. and it's not easy to say to her suddenly, “Tell me about yourself and every- thing you've been doing since I saw you last.” You know how it is your- self; one s instantly on the defen- sive. She lo.ed the way he took for granted hat his ideas would be hers. It made er long Yo be eloquent. Then, too, his use of the name Bunny was disarming. If he had said Jessica she might have thought he was se- rious. “Oh, Bunny is adorable,” she began eagerly; “she’s the most popular girl in our crowd. And then she’s so clev- er; she's always thinking of cute things to do, and her remarks are so funny. “Between you and me,” he sald very evenly, “don’t you think she's pretty about this man Townley? Perhaps if he hadn't made it so onal Peggy might have been rned in advance. After all, he was Zunny’s guardian, and Peggy was not stupid. She might have felt that he was trying to pump her. But she was flattered at the way he said “between vou and me,” and was not in the least suspicious. “Well,” she said slowly, you and me, I think she is. Bunny's a strange girl. She is confidentlal up to a certain point and then she tells you nothing. But Ray Townley has been paying her a lot of attention. I | really do think it's serious Here | she hesitated a_moment, and then, as though of a sudden impulse, she went on speakin I'm terribly fond of Bunn more so than girls usually are.” “That’s because you can afford to be,” Mark said teasingly. ‘You're not rivals for the same man, and, besides, vou're much prettier.” She gasped at that. “Oh, Mr. Burton, but I'm not nearly 8o clever. Compared with Bunny, I'nf actually stupid.” “Nonsense,” he protested. ‘Oh, but I am. But I mentioned the fact that I'm fond of Bunny be- cause I want her to be happy.” You think she will be, don’t you?” he said disarmingly. “Yes, of course. I'm sure she will. And yet— Oh, I don’t know how I ever “got started on_this thing. I don’t know whether I ought to men- tion it to you or not. Bunny would be furious.” “But it's just between you and m.e, you can be sure of that.” “‘Oh, of course, I realize that. I was just going to say that there were a lot of things said about Ray Townley several years ago. Of course, we don't any of us believe them. I hate gossip anyway, don’t you? I was only 14 at the time, so I don't remember anything very clearly. But sometimes 1 wonder if there's an thing to it. You see, I do want Bunny to be happy.' (Cobyright. 1927.) pes “between much .

There are gardens for the kitchen, but just at this season gardens in the kitchen are the thing. For of all places to grow flowers indoors there is no place like the kitchen.
