CONTRADICTIONS

LONDODN, June 15

The Queen wore powder grey and pale blue with a pink toque. One striking effect of the fashions

was thai all the women, when viewed from the back, were apparently dressed in black. From the front, however, they were seen to be wearing the gayest of colors. Half the women were in diaphanous lace dresses in keeping with the brilliant weather.

The most conspicßOUs figure in the Royal enclosure was an American, who wore a blue lounge suit, a straw hat with a striped band, white spats, and a grey waistcoat. His companion, in grey, with an alpaca jacket, had discarded his hat.

FOSTERING THE SMILE

USE OF THE VANITY BAG

LONDON, May 17. One ofthe most powerful forces today was the young woman's vanity bag, said Dr. Josiah Oklfield at the. Browning Hall, Walworth. "Watch her get out her bag in the train or 'bus, or office, a dozen times a day," he added. "Overlook her foolish dusting"of her nose with powder, and llotice h.ow she carefully adjusts her lips into a smile, and opens them a little to show her beautful white teeth. She is then a picture of be;:,ity radiating happiness. The sm le may be artificial to commence with, but -in time it becomes her natural expression. And what greater joy is there, than to be ever and evi '.where surrounded with smilingfaced women J The scowl, the frown, the forbidding hardness, the miserable, discontented expression can no longer exist in a face that constantly refers to the little mirror in the vanity bag! Blessed bo the vanity bag because it makes the women look happy, and those who always look happy will, in the end, make others happy.
