Tolstoy On Women
Love The Amazing
> Strength
We could get on without 'women doctors, women lawyers, women scientists and women writers; but life would be a sorry affair with- out mothers, helpers, friends, com-- forters, who love in men' the best in them and imperceptibly instil, evoke and support it. That love is the chief, grand and amazing strength of women. I am prepar-: led to admit that women can do everything men can do, and possi- bly better than men; but the trouble is that men cannot do any- thing faintly approaching to what women can do.--Tolstoy.

Young Appeal
Stiff silks, that rustle and swish, have always been favorites with young ladies of fashion who wish! to be heard as well as seen.
Taffeta is the most popular of the "crisp" fabrics. Little Girl fashions have never quite relin- quished taffeta, but this year they enthusiastically welcome it back to its proper importance.
Navy taffeta with a dash of red, perhaps, and an army of little tucks. for first parties, pale pink or blue] taffeta; or springtime yellow. Per- ky bows on festive taffetas prove that there is nothing more festive than taffeta.
