1—Have you been self Indulgent,
cynic-pl and pleasure-loving for so
many yeurs that you are not sure
whether the national anthem is ’’The
Star Spangled Banner" or "Roil Out
the Barrel”?
2 Have you yet reached the point
where you can scrap the idea that
your country is a grab bag, a raffle
or a punchboard?
3— Can you examine your con­
science critically and deny that you
have regarded life as a merry gam­
ble for so long that when anybody
mentions 1778 you instinctively yell
"Bingo!"?
4— Have you permitted yourself to
grow into a mood which made it
easy to define a "minute man” as
somebody who was too slow to put
over a fast one in 43 seconds?
ft—Do you ever think of Lexing­
ton, Lincoln and Liberty as merely
the names of automobiles?

England is about to issue bank
notes which, it is believed, cannot
be counterfeited. They are cov-
ered with a fine coat of metal that
is invisible except under Wood’s
light, which causes it to become
phosphorescent. As various met­
als, or combinations of metals,
give off their own individual tint
under this light, it is possible for
every denomination of currency In
every country to have its own
identifying color.—Collier’s.

’ ’ ,,ri -mat’s the Idea when it
comes to the spectacular prints for
play clothes now making beaches,
tennis courts, golf grounds and all
places of outdoor sports a scene of
mad. riotous, eye-thrilling color this
summer. So when you buy play
clothes don't stint on color whatever
you do. Especially in the matter of
guy cotton prints go as gypsy-like as
you please in choosing bizarre ef­
fects.
Il is a foregone conclusion that
you will be wearing slacks during
the active hours of a summer day.
The latest thing is to top your well-
tailored slacks with a blouse made
of cotton or linen print that fairly
dazzles the eye with Die daring of
its coloring and patterning
Just
such is the blouse that dramatizes
Uie slacks costume to the left In the
illustration. It is of a vividly color­
ful cotton print that typically ex­
presses the mood that prints for play
clothes are in this summer.
A new vogue has sprung up this
season, one that is taking the young
set by storm. It’s the skirt that
is made of print just as gypsyilke
in color and motif as you can find.
And be assured you will have no
difficulty in getting these prints bold
in color and daring in patterning.
The prints mostly talked about and
featured for sportswear and casual
dress take their cue from the gay
cottons of native South Sea Is­
landers, and from the garish pic­
turesque cottons that make a
gypsy camp look like one vast ka­
leidoscope.
However, do not for a moment
think that these fascinating cotton
prints keep within the confines of
beaches and playgrounds, country
highways and byways.
Fact is
for a party frock you will be doing
the fashion-wise thing if you dine
and dance in a gypsy print skirt
full at the waistline and swirling

line Wear with this the daintiest,

that while you don’t know the words
of "The Star Spangled Banner” you
can repeat the chorus of the Latest

Idea that a man who works hard
is a sucker and that anybody who
Is so interested in his job that he
comes in at 7 and sometimes works
after 8 p. m. should be reported to

Ross would have gotten much fame
today if they had never been known
around the night clubs?
