Haste Versus Hurry
There is a distinction between
haste and hurry—hurry adding to
rapidity the element of confusion.
Good deeds are scarcer than
bad ones, but one evil act will
keep people talking longer than a
hundred good ones.
A trained mind deserves the
companionship of a cultured
heart.
Peace, to any of the great pow
ers, seems to involve its own dom
ination over the others.
\ Unsatisfying Retribution
* Observant men have made up
their minds to this: Retribution
is seldom adequate.
A man of culture is respected
for it. Don’t be afraid of acquir
ing it, only be sure of getting
enough.
You can’t make dreams come
true by remaining asleep.
The eager expectancy of youth
is the source of so much enthusi
asm for a better world.
Take a Hand in the Doings
To enjoy a celebration, be one
of the performers in it instead of
a looker-on.
Self-denial is good for everyone
notwithstanding each enforcement
of it nearly ruins one’s temper.
Time cures grief and fortunate
ly, anger, too.
Mothers used to tell their chil
dren that the bears would get
them. Now they say automobiles.

Butterfly Bridal Veil Is Lovely
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
/ T' HERE’S a spirit of romanticism
■■■ and the prettily feminine being
revived this season that affects the
entire program of fashion for spring
and summer. In no phase of the
mode is this favor for the pretty-
pretty type of dress and adornment
so definitely emphasized as in the
realm of bridal array.
If you are in quest of a veil and
headdress that dramatically and
picturesquely interpret a beguiling
new theme just say “butterfly veil”
to your milliner or utter the magic
word in shop or salon where bridal
array is made a feature and you’ll
forever after agree that dreams do
come true. The bride centered in
the illustration is wearing a most
exquisite butterfly veil, so called be
cause of the huge applique lace but
terflies that flutter among the mists
of tulle like butterflies winging their
way in a garden of sweet scented
flowers. The model pictured is a
full, circular fingertip veil but if you
prefer a long veil rather than short
they are shown in either length.
The tiara that makes this beautiful
bride “look every inch a queen” is
appliqued with princess lace.
The versatility of types in head
dress makes it an easy matter for
any bride-to-be to find a style tuned
to her individuality. Note the vari
ety shown in this group. In the up
per right corner a Margot style cap
declares romance and poetry in its
quaint picturesque type. The pointed
bonnet-like brim of stiffened tulle
is appliqued with battenburg lace.
A diadem of pearls and rhinestones
is pictured above to the left. Her
gown has a becoming latticed bead-
work neckline.
If you covet a veil of Parisian
chic note the classic cap in the
panel below to the left. Hand-rolled
satin rosettes trim this cap. The
veil is cut to a double point in the
back, finished all around with a
four-inch hem. An exquisite veil
and headdress are pictured in the
right lower panel, featuring a most
lovely halo of beautiful lace with
quaint ruffle across the back.
Fashion this season is most kind
to the individualistic bride who seeks
outstanding originality. In the mat
ter of color especially, exciting in
novations are taking place. Many a
bride will be a “perfect picture” in
pale pink, or in an extremely deli
cate blue and the latest news for
wedding gown and veil is beige so
light it is just a degree or so from
white.
This pale beige for the bride in
vites dramatic color schemes for
the attendants, one of which is rose
tones for the bridesmaids, from pale
pink to American beauty with arms
laden with roses. A more daring
color scheme includes yellow, apri
cot and flame sheer frocks for the
maids contrasting the creamy beige
of the wedding gown and veil.
And here’s more news for brides-
to-be who are planning a wedding
scene that will ever linger in the
memory of those who behold—the
bridal veil fashioned of the identical
chiffon or filmy mousseline de soie
as that which makes the wedding
gown; appliques of lace or flowers
(either artificial or handmade) on
satin or sheer gowns; net over sil
ver lame for distinctive originality;
wide use of the new summer vel
vets that pattern mousseline de soie
of fragile beauty with tiny velvet
motifs. The bridesmaids wear the
same white fabric with the velvet
motifs in delectable flower color
ings.

FLOWERS AND VEILS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
You can be just as piquant-mind
ed and alluringly feminine in your
choice of millinery as you care to
be this spring. Fashion’s mood is
for pretty flowers and saucy veils
in hilarious colors. The “first” hats
have come out decked in flowers.
For early wear the new little flower
toques are making a great splurge.
The model pictured is of bright red
carnations. It would look fetching
with a flare-around red veil bor
dered with big chenille dots. The
new “beauty spot” veil is vastly be
coming. Gee it shown here. Note the
huge dot which comes at just the
right place on the face to show off
flirtatiously.
Dalmatian Styles
The new vogue of Dalmatian
styles has brought another interest
in velvet. Little waistcoat and
boleros with berets to match are
being adopted by the college set
and by the sub-deb crowd.
REDINGOTE COATS
LAUNCH NEW VOGUE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
When a plain monotone crepe coat
is worn over a print frock that is
no longer news but when a coat
of gaily colorful print crepe tops a
somber black or navy frock—aye,
there’s news that is filling first page
headlines. And it should! You get a
perfectly new slant on fashion when
you see these swanky costumes that
seem to say a “turn about is fair
play.”
These fetching print-coat outfits
take on added charm in that
through the front fastening of the
coat flitters a bright bi-color or tri
color, if you prefer, sash warranted
to liven any black, navy or brown
crepe frock even when the coat hap
pens to be removed. However, we
wager you won’t be removing the
coat oftener than absolutely neces
sary for it will prove too attractive
to lose sight of at any time.
While the majority of these new
print coats are styled in redingote
fashion, there is also a trend to the
shorter three-quarter loose-fitting
types. Some few versions stress
jackets of the print with handbags
out of the same print.
Shoe Season Brightened by
Addition of Novel Colors
Colored shoes have stepped back
into the picture and add a bright
touch to somber winter costumes.
Schiaparelli touches up a black wool
suit with a pair of scarlet kid shoes
matched by scarlet kid gloves. For
a navy blue outfit, this couturiere
furnishes jade green shoes that
match a twisted jade velvet roll on
one of the new peaked and high-
crowned hats. Patou uses much
bronze this year. One gown of royal
purple velvet is worn with a girdle
that is studded in clear amber
beads. The jewels in the belt are
matched by slippers of glittering
bronze. The same slippers are
shown as a complement to a brown
costume trimmed with bronze seal
fur.
'Twas This Way

How the Indians Learned
to Scalp
A CCORDING to the blood-and-
thunder dime novels we used
to read as children, the American
Indians were murderous savages
who always scalped the white men
they killed. According to reliable
historians, however, taking scalps
was unknown among the Indians
before the coming of white men.
The practice rose first among the
early settlers who were often paid
a bounty for 'killing Indians just as
some states now pay bounties for
killing destructive animals. The
scalp was usually presented as
proof that an Indian had really
been killed. In 1725, Massachu
setts paid 100 pounds for every
Indian scalp presented. Forty years
later, it offered 40 pounds for the
scalps of male Indians over twelve
years of age, and half that for
scalps of women and young chil
dren.
Most of the great Indian fighters
like Daniel Boone and George
Rogers Clark regularly scalped the
Indians they killed, and the savages
soon learned to retaliate in kind.
As late as 1837, the Mexican state
of Chihuahua offered $100 apiece
for each Apache scalp.
The ordinary scalp, taken by both
Indians and whites, was a circular
piece from the crown of the head.
Sometimes whites sliced off larger
pieces and then cut them up to
make it appear that they had killed
more than one Indian, but savages
generally prevented this by shav
ing off all their hair except a small
tuft on top known as the scalp
lock. Contrary to popular opinion,
scalping was not always fatal. In
dians were often so eager to get
their scalps and make a getaway
that they scalped people without
killing Jhem.
A Fashionable Operation
IKE everything else, operations
1 - / have their periods of fashion
and popularity. An appendicitis op
eration today is considered hardly
more serious than having tonsils
removed.
But only seventy-five years ago
such an operation had never been
heard of. Interestingly enough, the
first appendectomy was performed
by a wounded soldier on himself. At
the battle of Gettysburg, a young
Union soldier was very seriously
wounded in the abdomen. For sev
eral days, after he was taken to the
hospital, his appendix exuded from
the wound, and could be held in
place only by tight compresses and
bandages.
One day while his nurse and doc
tor were out of the room, his bandage
became untied and fell off. Find
ing the appendix again outside the
wound, he picked up a pair of scis
sors from his bed table and snipped
it off. Since there are no sensory
nerves in that part of the intestine,
he felt no pain.
The doctor was horrified when he
found what the soldier had done. He
was immediately moved to the ser
ious casualty ward, and everyone
expected him to die. Instead of that,
his convalescence was pleasant and
rapid. Thus was a new surgical
operation born.
But when surgeons began general
ly to perform appendectomies, they
met the united opposition of the
press and pulpit. According to some
papers, having the appendix out
caused one to lose all sense ol moral
proprieties. Whether moral or not,
it soon proved to be the cure for
what oldtime doctors called “stom
ach fevers,” from which so many
people had died.
Where Chewing Gum Came
From
UM chewing is undoubtedly
America’s favorite indoor sport.
Although foreigners never tire of
sneering at its vulgarity, we com
placently consume billions of sticks
every year.*
The best chewing gum is made
from the chiclezapote tree in Mex
ico. Its gum was used for centuries
by the plains Indians there, who
chewed it to keep their throats from
becoming parched when they could
get no water. But it was unknown to
Americans until about 1870, when a
lump fell into the hands of Thomas
Adams, a Staten Island photog
rapher.
Tfy nature, Adams was a “Get-
rich-quick-Wallingford,” always on
the lookout for a quick way to make
a fortune. His first idea was that
he had found a new substitute for
rubber, but extended experiments
forced him to give the idea up as im
practical. A lot of useless stock was
left on his hands, on which he had
spent practically his last nickel.
One day he happened to pick up
a bit of the gum and chew it. To
his surprise, it was very pleasant
to the taste. Right then ahd there,
he decided to go into the chewing
gum business.
He set up a small shop and cold
his product to nearby dealers. Or
ders began to pour in, and in a few
years the fad had swept the nation.
When he died he left his four son*
independently rich.
Smart Flattering Dresses
TV/TRS. DICK EVANS has come
to town and brought Ann and
Eddie LeRoy with her. She lives
in Palm Beach in the wintertime
and, of course, knows all about
style. That’s why she wears this
directoire type frock that is both
new and figure flattering. In the
floral print she has chosen she
is perfectly gowned for the parties
that will be given for her in the
home town. The kiddies are wear
ing the simple styles appropriate
to childhood and therein their
smartness lies.
Auntie Rose Sews, Too.
Little Ann is asking Auntie Rose
if she makes her clothes too.
“Sure enough, dear,” comes the
reply. “I made this percale for
mornings and have a beauty in
yellow crepe cut from the same
pattern to wear to the Bid-or-Bi
meetings.”
“I’ll bet you can sew fast, too,
the way Mother does. It only took
her two mornings to make Ed
die’s suit and my dress. Won’t
you help me with my doll clothes
now?”
“Indeed I will, Ann, and then
we will have some of those oat
meal cookies you like for lunch.”
