WOMAN’S PAGE. Vibrant Color and Good Taste BY MARY MARSHALL, Bands of rose and mauve on gray; pastel shades of green, blue and red used in bands on white; the two shades of fuchsia—one red and the other purple—on gray: dark brown and henna on apricot; purple, mauve and pink on flesh color~ mere enumeration of these combinations choosing the darker, duller or neutral shades which her good taste assures her are more suitable for her own raiment than the bright rainbow shades she likes to contemplate. This season fashion has devised a way in which we may satisfy our taste for vibrant color without de parting from good taste. To wear a purple frock trimmed with red, or @ green frock trimmed with blue and green, or a figured frock containing such combinations would undoubtedly produce a bad effect, but, following the new convention, of using bands of gay colors on light, neutral frooks, we can show what colors we please. The jumper frock is the model usually chosen to carry this trimming and the bands of color appear at the lower edge, around the round or V neck and at the wrists. The frock itself 15 usually of white, flesh, belge, Erey or some other neutral tone. The clever woman who makes her own clothes can exerelse her inge. nuity in choosing combinations of colors that will appear to advantage in this tone-on-tone treatment. Home- times three shades of the same color are chosen—as a navy blue, a dull cobalt blue and a light pastel shade of the same color. Three shades of rose—the darkest e real American beauty shade and the lightest a light | pink—make a combination frequently \BANDS OF PURPLBE, AND PINK ADORN Tfllé JUMPER FROCK OF .

Rosita lives at home with her par- goes to church regularly and regularly. a s a good little girl, but Rosita 1s one of those girls who are so ten- red-hearted they can't say no; at least it i with an effort that Rosita can v no—particularly to people that she likes. Rosita has been posing for an art. ist—sn man artist, who can certainly paint. lu’l‘“lli', artist ts a wonder with the brush, but Rosita says he is not appre- clated, and does not sell many things that he paints. The artist is an artist in another dl- rection, too, although I did not get this from Rosita in so many words—I gathered it from other facts that she has told me. And he is an artist in love! And, say 1, a pretty smooth artist in it—for listen! He takes Rostla to an occasional movie, he has her sip tea with him in the studio, and he devotes many a moment telling Rosita how much he loves her lips, her eyes, her soul! These last moments—the loving ones—are during the rest periods of the posing, for you must know that the model is allowed a few minutes' rest at stated intervals. During these times ha grows eloquent. He is eloquent at other times also— after the movies, or after tea in the studio, but during the poses he works feverishly. 1 don't doubt 2 moment he is an In- spired artist, but the thing 1 do take exception to is that Rosita tells me about the menetary remuneration—in other words, the pay envelope. Before he started making love to Rosita the money was pald regularly, but since—well, since, he has been putting her off with a hard-luck story, and before she can summon courage to demur about it, he seals her lips with a kigs, followed by many others. Rosita is in despair, She 18 in love with him, but unfortunately he has a wife back in Russia, and so there is not even a glimmer of hope there, and altogether Rosita is sick about it. What ghall she do? Oh, yes, I almost forgot, he had in- duced her to work for less than the usual posing price, I belleve the price is one dollar an hour, and he had per- suaded her to pose for him, “‘for the salte, of art,” for seventyfive cents an hour! Useless thrift, it appears to me, as he isn't paying her anything now, But to give Rosita the beneifit of my dvice— If I were the little rose, for that's what her name means, translated, I would write him a gentle, little, affec- tionate letter—affectionate, because she 18 Is in love with him, and I would tell him how great my sorrow was that I could not see him during work hours, and I would get another, better-payin, Job, And the next job I got I wouls not fall for any love-making, not the slightest bit of it. f any symptoms began to appear in the next artist 1 posed for, I would get my pay, and find anothe And, then, if I found that,I eould not pose without arousing such senti. ments in the artists I posed for—I would shift and only pose for woman artists—there are plenty of them! I would go to work where there's no danger of mixing art and love, They do not mix well, my dear Rosita; one or the other must pay the price! (Covyright, 1027.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. There is the old story about the mother who went #» view her son in parade and when she found him out of step she said proudly: ““They're all out of step but Jim!” This is the attitude most mothers take toward their infants. They want them to be like the rest of the babies but when they find them different they are inclined to believe that it is only because their baby is exceptional and the others all wrong, There is another way of K at this same thing, and almost as common a one, ien a mother fails to rear her child so that he conforms to the general standards set up for bables, she feels sure that not her method of rearing but her child is at fault, Her baby doesn’t sleep nights be- cause it is so active. because it doesn’t like this and that and the other thing. She can always find an excuse, and the excuse seldom is that she 1s at fault for not having trained the child in his infancy to sleep and eat. Bables do not need to be pla: with in order to develop; they do rot need over-much handling. The loving care given them when they are nursed and bathed and the half hour or 8o of exercise before they are put into bed for the night are enough ‘‘mother. ing” to make them aware that this is not a cold and feelingless world, but a happy, safe one. Some mothers seemingly take great ride in pointing out how far their bles veer from the normal. It means that they have been less pa. tient in training them, or less wise in knowing how they should be trained. It is of no benefit to the child to be exceptional at this early age. His one and only duty is to eat and sleep and grow, and every opportunity should be given him to do just these three "“"5,"‘ Later when he has buiit up a fine healthy body for himself one can be happy if he develops a splendid mentality to fit it. ut there is safety in normality, and just being average.

LIFTED MASKS BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. “ARE YOU MADLY IN LOVE WITH IRENE?" Mark Burton returns from a trip abroad because of a letter recelved from Maude Maynard, the aunt of his ward, Jessica Bartlctt. Jessica is about to inherit the principal of her father's estate, and a worthless bounder named Ray Townley is prey- ing on her affections. Although he is interested in another woman, Mark drops his affairs to attend to Jessica's. Eventually he carries her off to his shack in the Shawangunk Mountains, but Ray arrives and oarries her back, In the meantime, Mark has asked Irene Martin, the woman in whom he i3 interested, to visit him there, and has proposed to her. Rut Irene is too olever mot to size up the situation. She tells Mark he is in love with Jes- sica and dares him to deny it. He refuses to admit anything, and later is furious when Aunt Maude says the same thing. Angrily he goes to his room, and finds Jessica there, CHAPTER LIIL Pierette. “What are you doing here?" he asked, “It seems to me, Jessica, that it's about time you grew up. What does this masquerading mean any- way? “It means that I can say what I like so long as I am wearing a mask. You can't tell now whether I'm Bunny or Jessica because I'm really neither of them. I'm Plerette,” She pirouetted around gracefully, white arms waving above her head, slim legs flashing back and forth from beneath her abbreviated skirt. She needed a spanking. She was a spoiled child who was willing to make every one else unhappy to gain her own ends. And yet, she was sweet— sweet! Once he had held her in his rms and had kissed that scarlet mouth, Of course, he knew that it was scarlet because she had used a lip- stick on it, but that didn't make it any the less sweet, His pulse quickened. He had for- gotten the fact that he was tired, She waa 8o young! “You're behaving ridiculously!” [He forced himself to say the words and they sounded unconvincing. “Am I, Mark? Well, perhaps. You're wearing a mask too, you know. It isn't necessary to wear one made of black satin, Your mask fits beau- tifully and your guard is perfect. But after all, there comes a time for un- masking.” “Meaning just what?" He was telling himself that this was all nonsense. He really ought to send the child home to bed. And yet his bfood was stirred, he had an im- pulse to enter into her mood of play. Just why, he didn’t know. A moment betore he had felt like an old man, and now life was once more invested with a kind of glamour. Besides, Bunny wasn't doing this stunt merely from a desire to “play-act.” There was something behind it. ‘Mark——" Jessica’'s volce was very sweet, “Tonight you sald that Jessica was dead, and you said good- by. to Bunny. Suppose it just hap- ened that the situation was reversed. juppose that Bunny had dled and Jer had suddenly come to life in some miraculous fashion. Would it make any difference to you? You see, I'm wearing a mask and I can say iyed | anything, You don't really-know who is behind this mark, do you?" She had stopped dancing around and was standing still in the middle of the room. The glare of electric lights made her look theatrically small. She seemed to Mark almost ethereal, a tiny, fragile thing to watch and guard. “Bunny—" Yes! She was mocking him again. Her wide childish mouth was parted in a smile. “Yes, Mark." “What nonsense is this?" “It's not monsense.

The trinls of the overweights usu- ally receive more attention in print than the problems of thin people, Thinness, camouflaged under the more flattering term “slender,” has been fashion's ideal for the last few years, but the forces that are ever at work to level extremes of taste seem now to be turning the tide in favor of a normally developed figure for women.
