He answered correctly questions as to the name of the president and the capital of The United States. Then came this one. “Could you,” he was asked, “become president of The United States?” “No,” was the reply. “Why not?” persisted the official. “You pleasa excuse,” begged the Italian. “I very busy right now sella de ice cream.” NEW YORK STYLE LETTER You needn't be slim or young to be the most smartly dressed woman in town. The new “Frankly Forty” styles have taken on new life and line. Youthfulness combined with simplicity and dignity is the word going 'round, to make you look your best. Fine attention bo line and fabric, with dressmaker detail in the right places should be stressed. The trend is away from the usual deep V-neckline, but if they are worn, they should be cut higher for a more youthful effect. Jacket dresses, especially with bolero jackets, and redingotes are ideal for daytime wear. Women’s fashions have come into their own, and promise to be the best we have ever seen. Before we know it F'aiff season will be with us again. Fashions will have their own spot at the New York Fair this summer, and such an exhibition! American de-From Anne M.

Now you can stand your umbrella up all ; by itself ... well, anyway, it will behave if you have one of the new ones with a [‘blower base.” When it stands I alone this way, your “rain shed” will dry more evenly ! and faster, too. $ * * Dimity, the old favorite, is style news again. Full skirted, ruffled evening styles take to it like flowers to the sun. Quaint floral and sprig prints taken from the fabrics of grandmother’s day, as well as plain pastels, make the most lovable frocks for Summer evenings under the stars. Graduation time also calls for a dress that is as sweet as sixteen and as young. Dimity’s the thing for the graduate or the glamour girl.--------------O-------------Yes, Christmas time does make you feel good all over. Too bad the majority of people can’t feel the same way 365 days in the year. If they would only stop to think they would realize that they are only here for a visit—just staying on borrowed time. Then, perhaps, they wouldn’t have such exalted opinions of themselves.
