Something to Think About # Btf F. A. IDALKER

A PRICELESS TREASURE WITHIN your house of clay there is a rare treasure, worth more to you than all the wealth of the world. This remarkable jewel, which you have never seen, is you, yourself, hidden all the time from your most searching gaze. Even hy looking Into a mirror, you can not glimpse its form or discern its beauty, though at every moment of your life you are conscious of Its existence. This wonderful gem. this spark of enduring vitality, controls your thoughts, stirs your emotions and bestows happiness or wretchedness. It leads you to destiny. In the twinkling of an eye It Is capable of arousing the fondest love or the most despicable hnte. It may be generous or selfish, noble or meun. brave or cowardly, but whatever Its nature. Its erratic moods are beyond all human understanding, never comprehended except darkly, from one moment to another. To know yourself is to spend a lifetime in the quest and fall at the end. yet the quest la worth making. You may be among the world's greatest philosophers, but be as Imortint of yourself as n wooden spoon. You cannot say with certainty whether In battle you would be a coward or hero, forgive sn arch enemy or destroy him. hide yourself If suddenly Iniftoverlshed. or face the Jeers of former associates. Some time ago, a woman who had shot Hons In the Jungles of Africa, fainted before a group of smiling friends who had come to hear her lecture. Their beaming fares and shin Ing eyes were m<>re overpowering to her than the crouches and charges of snarling wild beasts. Her soul was suddenly pnedod. her house of clay cruirbled. You are robust and lustrous today. Reflections of a Bachelor Qirl Br t HELEN ROIDLAND THERE are only J 3 original jokes, but every man seems to fancy that he married one of them. Every woman knows that a man la a little bit out of hi* mind when he pro-p.-cs marriage t<> tier, but her'vanity won’t permit her Io admit It. by offering Idm a chance to escape. Why will a college hoy waste weeks In working up an effective •'line,” when the little ones, "How beautiful you a rd!" and “I love you!" which grand father used, are still the most thrilling In tl*e English tongue? Silence Is the lace curtain, through which a wise woman peeps out at mon. without permitting them to see her undraped thoughts or to satisfy their curiosity about mental furnishings. When a man can’t find anything around the house to improve, criticise or “symjmthize." for a whole week, he begins to think that his “morale" is weakening. An Innocent young man should be perfectly sure of his heart before he ! gives it Into a strong woman’s keep- j Ing. In these days. He may never get . It back again! — As long as a man can make a woman cry, hs can dictate terms to her; but no sane man was ever so foolish as to argue with a smiling woman.

Delicate Frocks for Summer Wear

Lace is one element In the subject as dress that needs no urging. The very word conveys the idea of luxury, of refinement, of elegance. As a mode lace appears In cycles. It was accepted years ago as the proper trimming for every dress occasion, and everybody that aspired to be anybody bought. Inherited or otherwise acquired flue laces. Every woman of fashion had collars, berthas, flounces of lace. The frocks of children of the affluent were trimmed with sheer valenciennes. dowagers wore shawls and garnishment of point duchesse or other rare variety, and a bride who had family tradition was expected to display its evidence In a wedding veil of old lace. Then, wearying of the usual, the women of fashion used no lace, or almost none, for season after season. One reason was. perhaps, that the old sort was Incongruous with modern dress, and little that was new came out. Another was the extreme simplicity of the styles that have been the rage until just lately. Now. because women are bored with severity and unrelieved plainness. lace has come back "strong.” The vogue has been growing for three seasons and has engaged the talent of some of the leading artists of Paris, whose lace gowns are achievements made possible by the great variety of charming novelty laces and the revival of some of the beautiful old types, real and imitation. Spanish, Bohemian, chantilly, shadow laces are popular for entire gowns, or in combination with the material, and some particularly charming models have been established by prominent 4-f W fit ) 1 Ecru SHk Lace Over Peach-Colored Satin. modistes for summer afternoon and evening gowns.

In white the lace gowns are enchanting. particularly In Spanish. Bo-

Metal Lace on Evening Gowns

Metal lace is seen on some of the evening gowns. Redfern, for example, has designed a stunning dinner gown which will answer as well tor dancing. The dress itself is made of lllwriy satin, sheathlike, decollete and sleeveless. At the line of the knee is appliqued a circular flounce in points where It meets the satin, or silver guipure lace over chiffon. Another luscious thing is an evening gown of Beers’ designing. In rose-col-ored chiffon beaded In crystal. The beading Is done In narrow strips from neck to hem, each finished Just below the knee with long tasseled drops, over a circular flounce of the chiffon, of which Is made also a long scurf, attached to the skirt at the back and long enough to be carried over the arms and shoulders. The beaded gowns rival In favor the new styles In colored laces which women are finding to be most complimentary to figure and complexion The laces, softly tinted golden brown, veiling the slips of Ivory, peach or yellow, are indescribably delicate, with a c«»b webby effect, and are even more ele-

Summer Silhouette Is Straight and Slender

The summer silhouette’ remains straight and slender out is gradually discarding its simplicity, says a fashion writer in the New York HeraldTribune. A charming evening model is developed in brilliant cerise erepe and is embroidered with red crystal beads and imitation seed pearls. This embroidery follows the lines that swathe the figure and ripple off into borders which outline a series of scant flounces. A beautiful flower in mauve and cerise tones marks the rendezvous for tbe numerous ripples of an intricate outline. > Full-length, tight fitting sleeves are a characteristic of the mid-season evening dresses for seml-formai occasions. Ruby red fulgurant* is the most modish fabric for these frocks which are entirely devoid of any trimming detail, tbe straight, chemise line is often broken by scarf-like draperies which cross the front and then disappear In flowing Oriental lines, giving somewhat the effect of the harem skirt. Such dresses are bettlesa and form-

hemian or chantilly, the craze for which has not lessened. Nothing, after all, approaches chantilly tn beauty and decorative quality, and an evening dress of white chantilly is the very quintessence of daintiness. A three-piece costume presented by Doucet as one of his season’s successes is built on a foundation of ivory i ' Gray Lace Over Mauve Satin, With Sash. crepe de chine. The gown is of the plain crepe, simply made and slightly draped by being caught ud with a cluster of small tucks over each hip. It is round at the neck, which is bound simply with the material. The coat, seven-eighths length, la straight and has around the bottom a heavy applique Ivory lace, with which also the straight coat sleeves are finished. A narrow collar of. white fox adds a touch of importance to this charming ensemble. In addition to the conventional black or white in gowns of lace, some new things have been successfully presented, illustrating the artistic possibilities of the colored laces. A dream of a gown is made of gray lace over a slip of mauve satin, to which is added a sash of powder blue satin ribbon with a bow and long ends directly In front.., Doucet has illistrateu in one of his latest creations the charm of silver gray satin over black satin, and another successful combination is achieved by Berthe Hermame with ecru- lace over liesli-eolored crei*e nmroeain. with a lace shawl appliqued. and draped in most effectively. An effort is made by souie prominent copturieres to bring Irish lace back • nto favor. It is chic ant! smart, as always, on linen frocks. Summer silks, crepes and voiles, as collars, yokes, cuffs or trimming, and some of the new patterns are lovely But the pres ent styles in gowns’ are too soft for Irish lace, and the lighter more cobwebby laces are preferred.

gant than the black lace —especially in the warm weather evening models. Doeuiliet has made for midsummer wear several of these tinted lace gowns. One of cocoa color, very sheer, veils an apricot-colored satin slip and has touches of gold lace introduced In the bodice and the slightly draped skirt. A large gold rose is attached al one side, where the skirt is lifted at the hip line. Silver ghty silk lace over aquamarine satin is a Iteautifully conceived combination that suggests moonlight <>n a summer sea. The colors run the scale In shades of ecru, beige, brown, gray, tangerine, blue and even bright scarlet, It is tn rhe scarf that tace is roost happily used, and the ideas expressed in the arrangement of a lace scarf in rhe drapery of a gown are many and charming. Popular Color Scheme Bright red used alone or red and white combined are conspicuously featured in the modes of summer. *

Fashion in Wraps Since far more women watch sporting events than take part in them, the wrap this year has taken on particular ! importance. The cape of three-quaner length is one of the outstanding features of the season, with the shawl cape, the newest development. Thia resembles a shawl loosely thrown about the shoulders, but usually It is attached to the dress itself at the neckline. Roman Striped Ribbons The vogue of Roman striped ribbons which recently returned has offered a clever means at lengthening too short dresses. as well as adding a note of gayety. On taffeta two wide bands of Roman striped ribbon are set in the skirt, which is gathered on a tight fitting basque walsL

Now, If you will believe it, Pinky Pig's mother had not meant to tell the news, either. “Squeal, squeal," said Mrs. Pinky Pig, “there is to be a feast.” Mrs. Pifiky Pig had meant to keep this to h&elf too! “GrunAgrunt," said Sammy Sausage, ’ tulre will be extra food today." Sammy Sausage could have given himself a good scolding for saying this. He had meant to keep it a secret I “Grunt, grunt," said Brother Bacon. “I can hardly wait to begin the big meal." N&r had Brother Bacon meant to say anything about It! "Squeal, squeal,” said Sir Benjamin Bacon. "I am always ready tn my splendid way for a little extra repast.” Sir Benjamin had decided he would not speak of this at all! “Gnir.l, grunt,” said Mrs. Pink Pig, “I can hardly wait to get my snout Into the food.” Mrs. Pink Pig had not meant to mention that there would be food soon! “Squeal, squeal," said Master Pink Pig, “I am ready for the banquet." Master Pink Pig had been saying over ami over to himself that he would keep that word banquet In his own little pig mind and not utter a grunt or A squeal about it. “Grunt, grant,” said Master Pink Pig’s mother. “I must «ee that I get a good meal today and that Master Pink Pig and his wife do not hear bf the excitement." • Os course she had not meant to give away what had been in her thoughts! “Grunt, grunt.” said Sir Percival Pork, "there will he tine eats today.” Now,' he had not meant to say this at all. nor had he meant to say anything so ordinary as “eats-” That was no word for a Sir Percival to use. But in his excitement he had forgotten the nicest words to use and he had spoken when he had not meant io s|M*nk at all. Perhaps that was why he spoke as -he did! “Grant, grunt, squeal, squeal,” said Miss Ham. “I must hurry to the banquet. Those other pigs will be there first if I don’t.” And then she twisted her little tail with annoyance for neither had she ' meant to sny a word about It ! But the pigs did not know that each of them had heard of this secret.

They had heard the son of the farmer telling of the pigweed he had found down the road which he was going to give to the plg3- And they had seen him go for it. But each had thought he or she was the only dne who had seen this. None bf them had been able to keep a good secret even though

each had - meant _ _ . “I Must Hurry." ■ — to lie on hand, or on foot, for the secret before any of the others. Soon the boy came with the pigweed and oh, such a feast as there was. Even though each had given away the secret each one of them had really known the secret in advance —and anyway the boy bad meant to give each an equal share.
