Dear Mu—
The bundle containing pajammers

mers to soldiers on account they
have been a part of men's night
clothing for years but I gess Gen
eral Grunt didn't wear them so the
army don’t recognize ’em yet.
I
wish you wud pick plainer colors as

Have you heard any more news
about what this is all about. I mean
have we leased the war from Eng
land yet and what part of Europe
am I going to be loaned tq? The
papers are as confusing as ever, one
editor saying we will be kept short
of war and the other saying we ain't
more than a half inch short of it
right now. Well, anyhow, ma. all
I am doing is trusting that Roore-
velt wasn't fooling in his eleckshun
speeches when he said I wud get
in no war and that anyway I wud
not wind up in Europe or Asia

But I will close now as it is time

Look to fashions for a new yield
of vitamins! Fruit has become an
outstanding inspiration for design in
the apparel field.
Many of the
smartest new prints are patterned
with colorful fruit motifs: hats are
trimmed with realistic looking
fruit; lapel gadgets are replicas of
fruit, and buttons that fasten our
dresses and blouses, coats and jack
ets, are copies of fruits. The beige
wool sport jacket here pictured is
’“vitamized" with fruit buttons, new
this spring! A miniature dish of
polished wood gives the button
form. There’s good news for tired
clothes at your nearest button
counter!
These novelty buttons are durable,
as well as attractive. Vleing for
honors with the fruits are vegeta
bles—carrots, onions, lettuce, etc.

ley will vie with orchids, gardenias,
flaming hibiscus and camellias. Sil
vered and gilded leaves are a new
and distinctive Easter fashion with
appeal to those seeking the out-of-
the-ordinary.
Speaking of flowers, milliners ev
erywhere declare that myriads of
flattering little flower hats are sell
ing in unprecedented numbers. The
significant message about these
adorable little flowery confections is
that you may wear them as cor
rectly with your prim little tailor
suit as you can with your dressi
est dress-up costumes. (Quite a de
parture from the old idea which ex
acted a tailored hat with a tailored
suit!)
The thought that is prevalent
throughout this season's style pro-
gram is that one should wear al
luringly feminine and flattering ac
cessories. This applies not only to
flowery hats and colorful whimsical
veils but also to "hankies.” which
are of the pretty-pretty type.
It is just such flower-bedecked
hats as the one shown above (to
the left in the illustration) that are
lending "endearing young charms”
to the Easter fashion picture this
spring. Note the dainty handker
chief. designed by Burmel, which
so artfully plays up a dainty petit-
point garland encircling an embroid
ered full blown rose. You can get
these “hankies” with violets or
daisies or whatever flower you may
choose. The other flower chapeau
is typically an Easter bonnet It is
a shiny straw in bon bon pink,
triInmed with cherry blossoms,
full-blown roses and wide green rib
bons. The veil matches the straw.

Fads and Fancies
Young moderns are all enthusi
astic over fringed play shoes that
take their cue from Western cow
boy fashions.
The inverted pompadour is a "last
word" hair-do that is exciting much
interest. The hair is brought down
over the forehead, the ends turned
under, which, when deftly done,
gives every appearance of bangs.
Not only is this ever so flattering,
but it is very practical, for it stays
neatly "put.” with minimum care.
Something new for the bridal
gown—white Nylon velvet, said to
be very charming to the eye, and
highly satisfactory in that it drapes
beautifully and yields pleasingly to
fabric manipulation.
Very new for spring are navy
coats or capes that have small
shapely collars of white caracul,
broadtail or similar fabriclike fur.
Other models in navy have simply a
cluster of white ermine tails at the
throat. White hat and accessories
worn with these coats and capes key
to the white of the fur.
To wear with your spring and
summer print dresses, look up bead
or flower necklaces, bracelets and
clips that pick up one or more colors
of the print.

The landlady glanced round the
table at her twelve hungry board
ers before starting to carve th®
rather sad-looking chicken.
In rapid succession she asked
each which part of the fowl he
preferred. Ten of them decided
on legs.
The carver dropped her knife
with a clatter on the dish.
“What do you imagine this is?”
she said, sarcastically, pointing to
the chicken. “A centipede, or
what?”
“Oh, no,” replied the boarder
who had been served. “Judging
by the piece of neck I’ve got, I
should imagine it was a giraffe.”
