Apron Dress Novel

For Little Miss ____

The ballad was wrong! It takens nine women—not nine tailors—to make a man! (Nine or ninety-and-nine). For, every worth-while man is a composite production of all women he has known. There are so many women in a man's life—and he needs them all! There is the woman who bores him—and bore with him all through his whooping-cough days, and his calf-love days; the woman who made him potentially a man or a mollycoddle, a gentleman or a boor, a worker or a waster. And there is his first love, who awakened In him the astonishing fact that he had a heart, or emotions, or something besides an appetite for food; his first love whom he never forgets—and never forgiven, if she marries him. And there is his "spiritual love" — the older woman, who smiled on him to his face, and at him behind his back, and left him a sadder but wiser boy; the woman, whom he always remembers with gratitude, because she refused him—and with a little regret, for the same reason. And there Iis the first woman who "broke his heart" and thereby rendered him an invaluable service. For no man's heart is tender, until It has been broken at leasrt once; and no man is really wse until jsome woman has made a fool of him. And there is the woman whose heart he broke—the woman who tried to get him, and couldn't. And there In the woma nhe tried to get, and couldn't—the girl he almost (but not quite) kissed, and whose ghost forever comes back to haunt him with tantalizing memories. And thern Is the woman he tried married—the platonic friend who

seemed suoh a restful relief from all the others, but, somehow, never quite

Mirrea his emotions to the proposing point. And there is the married woman, whom he adored from afar, and dreamed about for a whole week. And the summer girl who taught him to dance and to flirt; and the woman who laughed at him, and the woman who wept for him, and the woman who inspired him, and all the women who bored him. And there is the girl he ouht to have married the "suitable girl," who might has steered his ship of fate calmly into the placid harbor of content, had not a little cyclone of infatuation blown him aside. And there the woman who married him! The woman who has to take the place of all those that have gone before— the black coffee that "settles" him, after the love-feast. And which one of all the women in his life, she may be, is a matter of chance, accident, and the whim of the gods. For, alas, he walks into marriage with his eyes shut and then opens them, to find a total stranger at his side! There are so many women In a man's life and he needs them all! "What a pity he can marry only one of them. For the "great sacrifice" of matrimony consists, not in tieing himself to one woman for life but In untieing himself from all the others. And yet— Even Solomon hay have had to weed out a few hundred, each time that he chose, a wife. Even Solomon may have had to that he "might have been a better man.". If he had married another woman! (Copyright, 1921).

Shnwerinc: the bride-to-be Feems a favorite way of presenting her with little thin?3 for her trouspeau In an acceptable manner, at the fame time having a very pood time. Xo wonder tho fashion of so dein? Is a popular one,, especially in small towns and cities. One clever modern mother conceived the Idea of givin? an umbrella luncheon as a miltable function for her daughter's phower, and proceeded to work it out In the following way: Tho invitations sent out were little preen cardboard umbrellas, the invitation being written in white ink on the green fulness between the ribs. She u?ed soft greenery with white flowers to decorate the house in the places where it was most effective. A big beach umbrella was suspended in the hall, inverted, to receive the shower, the things being dropped into its capacious depths by each guest on arrival. A wee boy, dressed as Peter Tan. waited on the door. After a few moments of greeting the hostess led the way to the dining room. Here tho guests found tho table covered with'green chiffon with lace dollleg under the green service plates. In th3 center of the table were two largo green paper hearts. They were held together by a silver arrow piercing the centers, and they rested on a wreath of white flowers. The hearts were hollow Jack Horners, which had been filled with little souvenirs. These consisted of little silk button bags, cushions, lingerie

ribbon cases and other trifles made from pieces of the bride's wedding gowns by her own fair hands. Above the table an inverted white

umbrella was appropriately trimmed ! Fuit the convenience of the cook

of boiled chickens, and only a fewmushrooms are needed for the sauce. The salad cf mixed fruit, of course, has the usual boiled dressing coloied with the green coloring which copies for the purpose. The crtam and ice. if home-made, is inexpensive. If purchased, one kind will be sufficient, and the cakes may he simplified to

with green smllax. having a fringe of green mint lollipops hanging on the ed?e. The luncheon had the usual five courses, beginning with a minted milaga grape herbert. This was followed by a. puree of green peas wdth toasted croutons. Then came creamed chicken and mushrooms, potato puffs and asparagus au gratln. Then followed the most delicious fruit salad with the dressing colored a delicate pistachio, accompanied by cheese straws piled log cabin fashion. ' The dessert was pistachio cream with white lemon ice, fancy cakes variously frosted in spring colors, green and white predominating, and coffee. Of course, the bonbons matched tho color scheme, and celery and olives figured in the early part of the meal. Upon leaving the dining room the bride was promptly showered in the hall by the skillful tipping of the umbrella, a prearranged ceremony. This same shower plan may be carried out in any desired coloring. The entire thing may be done with paper decorations. Paper plates and serving cups may be u?ed. The umbrella over the table may also be omitted, which will reduce the expense. The menu as planned is economical, although it founds elaborate. The sherbert is cheap and simple. Tho pea soup is made of inexpensive dried split peas. The chicken is made

Put remember that pap r decorations depend largely upon the. taste cf the home decorator for their originality.

U. 5. Army on Rhine Still U ins Marksmanship Honors COPLEXZ. May 21. Gen. Allen's American army on the Rhine is more than maintaining the reputation the Americans won in the war when they startled the Germans with the accuracy of their rifle fire. The annual spring tarpet practice is on at Vielbach and some of the groups are making records of which any American soldier may well be proud. The work of three companies of the second battalion of the eighth regiment shows that of 137 men firing only 11 failed to qualify as marksmen. The results were: Co. K, 4i men firing, qualified eicht expert riflemen. 11 sharpshooters and 2 4 marksmen. Co. V, 4 4 men tiring, turned In two expert riflemen. 10 sharpshooters and 2 4 marksmen. Co. G. 4 4 men tiring, made three expert riflemen, nine sharpshooters, and 2 5 marksmen.
