comfortable chair. The atmosphere
' of the soda fountain is distinctly
feminine. Two women enter, deposit
a number of packages on the table
and then lean back contentedly in
tho brass back chairs.

A woman wearing a brown close

her jacket, displaying a light blue
waist with marvelous sleeves.
Tho woman eating tho sundae sees
her and says to her companion:
"Look at that awful waist. Blue

"Horrid! But look at that swell
waist. That's tho latest thing out.
That chemisette effect Is so striking.
And tho sleeves are full from the
shoulder down. Don't you think
that slashed oversleeve Is fetching?"
