Wallis’ Hats

By United Press PARIS, March 3.—Mrs. Wallis Simpson may come to Paris within a week or two to select a new lot of hats for the Easter season. She would also have final fittings of gowns and coats which are nearing completion in dressmaking shops here. Most expensive among the assortment of clothes Mrs. Simpson has ordered is a luxurious silver fox coat for afternoon and evening wear. It appears to be worth at least $3000. The clothes are to supplement her wardrobe until, after her final divorce decree, she joins the Duke of Windsor whom she is expected to marry. Her wedding trousseau is being made separately.

By REATRICE BURGAN Society Editor RS. PERRY O'NEAL doesn’t wait for spring sunshine to bring out the blossoms on golden dell, redbud and fruit branches. She prunes the trees and bushes, brings the branches indoors and forces them to bud. “On days like yesterday, you want to get out in the yard and start cleaning up for spring planting,” said Mrs. O'Neal, an active Ine dianapolis Garden Club member, “But it’s the wrong thing to do, be= cause the next day a frost may kill the plants you have uncovered.” Mrs. O'Neal has flowers blooming all winter in her greenhouse, but, she feels spring is here if she hag blooming forsythia or golden dell in her house.

Cut Off Branches

“You won't harm your bushes by cutting off branches. The trees need to be trimmed anyway, and the old wood has the bud blossoms,” she said. “I wash off the branches, wet them with tepid water, place them in a container and in two weeks or so, I have blooms.
