"The appreciation of ueauiy is not
only an important but fundamen
tal reaction of the human mind.
The Creek ohilosophers enumer
ated three major values, the good,
the true nnd the beautiful. Beauty
has had every position in the three
fold hierarchy, depending upon
the prevailing philosophy of the
period, and it has also at times
heen banished from the world of
desirable things. Yet it has con
tinued to live in the hearts of
men, even in ages, which have
seemed when superficially judged,
to be almost totally materialistic."

Query: Some of the new cross

XVDK STOCKINGS
ILS(AKI)KI FOR GRAY
PARIH A) Paris at last has
turned its thumbs down on the
flesh colored hosiery, which has
been the standard day and eve
ning stockings for several years.
Gray is the newcomer, and the
people who make the styles say
that It is only a matter of a few
months until dark shades of gray
will deepen into black and hosi
ery will be back to the N point
it started from in the days which
followed the war.
Nude stockings are still in the
majority on the boulevards of
Paris. But in the exclusive shop
ping streets and in and out of the
luxury shops dove tints and smoke
shades are worn by many women.
In the evening at the smartest
restaurants and dancing places
one sees women wearing mauve
crav stockings with dresses of
white, silver or pale tones. The
flesh shades matching the dress
in Intensity of tone, arc still worn
with gowns of pink or bright
color.
Accessories like shoes, gloves
and handbags, taking their cue
from stockings, ore also shifting
from rosy belg tones to gray.
Shop windows disclose more gray
than beige shoes for wear with
sum men afternoon costumes. Oray
suede and kid slippers apparently
are to have an enormous vogue
for summer.

Dear Mary Ann: Hero is a poem

I love Its deep depth,, too.
I love Its Me o rot stories, - '
I love its territories,
I love the ocean,
I do. i
I love dear old Oakland
I love its surroundings, too.
I love its bright lights,
I love Its wonderful sights,
I love the ocean, too,
I do.
When the flerco storms rave, .
The waves roll high,
The ships tremble and rock.
They have many mocks,
I love tho ocean,
I do.
It has beautiful fish
All colors of the rainbow.
It has coral and shells of
shape,
Pink and white are their shades.
I love tho ocean,
I do.
I love Its beaches of white shining
, sand,
I love the sailboats with their
snowy white sails
Spread out like an enormous white
seagull.
I love the ocean,
I do.
I love to hear the old sailors tell
of near escapes,
Or tell of sailing for weeks to
some cape.
In the winter it Is like waving
grass,
In tho summer It Is like shining
glass.
I love the ocean,
I do.
