The Gayest of Patterns for S With the coming of spring what woman does not feel a longing for exquisitely lovely colors after the somber winter ones? The softening air and the first sunny day suggest the glorious colorings of summer. So now Dame fashion, ever capricious and inconstant, selects new shades for her favorites. And one of the first of these is green—Lavin green. Even the name has an enchanting delicate green like fresh, unmown grass. How exquisitely refreshing it will be on the hot days to come. Green suggesting as it does, fresh growing things and the soft shadows of trees, makes you feel and look deliciously cool. And still another favorite is Madeline rose. It is an old-saying that a woman in love longs for a rose-colored gown and fresh violets. Perhaps instinctively summer when a riot of color is all the rage, all the light, bright shades are quite in vogue. But these colors, instead of being in the flat tones which have predominated for so many months, are found in the most intricate and unusual designs on a neutral back ground. In fact, this passion for the allover design is the most distinctive characteristic of the season. Almost every fabric used is printed, beaded or embroidered over every seemingly available inch of its surface. Long Lines Newest The gracefully becoming, long lines are still the newest—yet they are not the same, for in some subtle way we seem to grow cleverer in our ability to drape them with more artful simplicity. Oftentimes the newer frocks are caught into an elaborate buckle on the left hip—buckles of strangely wrought gold or clear, gleaming crystal or richly colored stones. At other times they are caught into knots of the material, forming a little draping on that side. Simplify in Brocks An evening frock of the approval Greek simplicity which is most becoming to the slender figure has a deep "V" neck in the front and back. The frock hangs straight but both the back and front are draped into a huge pearl ornament on the left hip. From this ornament hang long strands of pearls which almost reach the ground. Underneath this ornament the skirt opens to show the gleaming silver of an underskirt. It is in clever ways like this that the long, slight lines are made possible for dancing or walking without the graceless, mincing step of the too tight skirt. Modes of Afternoon Brocks It is on the glorious sunshiny days of summer when one whitches the sunlight sparkling on the waves and the yellow sands or spends a deliciously lazy afternoon in the cool shadows of the country club porch, that the season shows her loveliest interpretations of the mode for afternoon frocks. It is on just such an occasion that one will be permitted to see a beautiful little georgette night blouse and a little draping at the side, where the material rains in a point just below the hem line. But it will owe its smartness to the myriad beads which gleam and glisten on its soft, dull surface. Perhaps this frock will be sileneless for the Now and again little miss with his skirt, but more straight with first produced into it. The frock of serge hairstyle set in at frock.

After it is brought to a state of perfect health, beauty follows naturally. The Harper Method of Shampooing and Scalp Treatment is very different from the superficial practices of beauty parlors. A treatment is given with every shampoo, yet the charge is but slightly more than that asked for the usual shampoo. Beside thoroughly cleansing the hair, all the organs of the scalp are stimulated. Even after a single shampoo or treatment it is possible to notice improvement in the condition of your hair. Why delay when the sooner you let us serve you, the sooner your hair attains the full perfection of its charm. Arrange for an appointment today.

Perhaps this frock will be sleeveless, for the sleeveless afternoon frock is quite the rage, but it will be just as much in fashion if its whimsical wearer happens to prefer a little short, tight sleeve, or one of those wing-like extensions which have recently been serving as sleeves. Silk Crepe Frocks Shown If one wanders further on such a day, one is certain to meet one of those gaily patterned silk crepe frocks that the mode fully expresses its present loved of color in strang interwoven designs. These allover patterns are on a white or neutral background; but the brightest, gaudiest colors lend their decorative touch to the intricate traceries of the design. Volle for Sultry Weather The cool freshness of volle is so alluring on sultry days, so if you choose you can express the mode charmingly in a frock of volle quite as brilliantly figured as the silk ones. This same effect by having the figures embroidered. It is not in the least surprising that the coast frock is a very great favorite again, for it would be difficult to conceive of anything either more stunning or more practical. However, they have certain marked differences from the coat frocks we wore last year. Fashions Last Word in MILLINERY OUR NEW SPRING SHOWING REPRESENTING ALL THE LATEST STYLES AWAITS YOUR APPROVAL. HERE YOU WILL FIND DISTINCTION AND INDIVIDUALITY AT MODERATE PRICES. CLEVER MODELS Designed in our own work rooms— Mrs. Sylvia C. Cable Designer CABLE MILLINERY 216 W. Center St. Anaheim **Ins for Spring** Now and again one sees a slender little miss with a graceful circular skirt, but more often the skirt is straight with first a circular flare introduced into it. One charming coat frock of serge has a circular flore of crepe set in at the closing of the frock. This is not only smart, but extremely practical as it gives freedom for walking without destroying the straight one-piece effect. The wide rever which covers almost the entire front of the waist is of this same crepe. **Unusual and Varied Sleeve** But doubtless the most cleverly varied and unusual part of the afternoon frock is its sleeve. The long, tight sleeve is the greatest favorite of the coat frock. But it must never be a plain, tight sleeve. Far from it. Over some long, slender hand will fall a circular cuff reaching to the knuckles. Or in a gay cavaller turned back forming a gauntlet. Then another tight sleeve admiring this gauntlet fashion will assume three gauntlets whose combined efforts almost reach the elbow. Or a favored way is to have three circular flares turned down, the one a few inches below the elbow and the lowest one falling over the hand. The sleeve of the satin or chiffon frock may start out to be long and tight, but at the elbow it is very apt to change its mind and end by being full and flowing, quite as fashionably, however, it may be a full flowering sleeve straight from the shoulder. The three-piece suit is still in high favor for spring. It is such a convenient and becoming costume, particularly for afternoon, when one drops into a restaurant for tea or goes calling. The lovely blouses which peep forth as one opens the jacket make really a very dressy costume, appropriate for almost any and every function of the afternoon. An almost limitless choice is offered your fancy when you are choosing the blouses for one of these suits. If your taste incline to the Oriental, a blouse of Persian patterned silk will suit the mode as well as your personality. Of course, it will be long-waisted, cut to fit snugly about the hips or gathered into a tightly fitted band. Now and again a button cleverly placed will hold the jacket so snugly about the hips that it has a tendency toward a slight blouse or perhaps it would be quite frankly a little bloused and gathered into a tight band at the hips. With these jackets the line of the skirt is straight. There may be a little draping at one side, but not a circular flare. **Variations in these Suits** As often as not the three-piece suit consists of a dress instead of a skirt and a costume blouse. Whether you golf or whether you motor or whether you are just an interested spectator on the sidelines of sports, of course, you are wearing sports clothes. For the sports costume, which year by year has been becoming more and more popular, has reached the topnotch of fashion and is just the thing to be worn almost every hour of the day. It may be because we are more keen for sports, it may be the effect of the ever-present country club, but surely one great reason is its youthful dash and smartness. It is so unusually becoming to every age and type. **Jaquette a Sport Favorite** The Jaquette or over blouse which was worn so much last season is here in a new form for sports. Fashioned of various novelty cotton materials, all vividly figured, or of colorful ratine, they bid fair to be in high favor for a morning on the links. Among the newest sweaters, for the women actively engaged in sports are rather mannish ones. Many of these are checked in a tiny diamond shape pattern with a plain border or sometimes with plain sleeves also. Of course, the high round neck sweater is still very good. And even more daringly original are the strange designs which encircle it. In addition to the American Indian designs there are new and even more gorgeously elaborate figures. The slip-on sweaters also show the allover diamond-shape checks. But what kind of a sweater you choose, one thing is certain—if you are slim it must be beltless. **ELDEST CHILD 51, YOUNGEST, 11 MO.** WICHITA, Kan., March 14.—To be the father of a son 51 years old and the father of a daughter eleven months old, is a distinction which comes to so few men in the world, that George Wilson, 67, formerly of Kansas City and at present a concrete foreman here, is the marvel of all his acquaintances. Wilson lays claim to being the most successful father in Wichita. He is the father of 26 children, all living. Wilson first was married when 15 years old, in Jersey City, to a girl one year his junior. The two lived in New York, being actors and playing in the same show. Wilson's first wife had eleven children, including two sets of twins and one set of triplets. His second wife gave birth to ten children. He has five children by his third wife whom he married 15 years ago. Plain Dealer Want Ads Get Results Spring Open GLORIOUS FASHIONS REVEALED IN ALL EXQUISITIVE BEAUTY The S.Q.R.

For a Trim Ankle The bewildering array of countless styles which are placed before us in such profusion nowadays make it possible for a woman to use so much more artistic imagination in expressing her personality as well as her taste. And of these greatly varied offerings, hoslery is far from being the least. The plain black silk stocking which was worn for so long by the smartly dressed woman is scarcely ever seen nowadays. Chiffon with its fine, sheer beauty in seen whenever a plain stocking is worn, and strange as it may sound, if you wish black do not buy black. The clever woman chooses gunmetal. This shade looks black when it is worn, but it makes the hose seem much more expensively fine. And with a black frock and shoes, the effect is wholly charming. But black is the only frock with which black hose are worn. If your frock be any shade of gray or tan, the stockings should match it even when they are worn with black shoes. If your shoes are of colored suede or have suede inserts, of course, the hose must match the shoes. With a very dark dress it is far better to have the hose of a lighter shade than the frock. And these colored hose are quite correct with a black street frock. For the ideal of the mode is still the fawn colored stocking. For dressler wear the lace clock is quite the thing in chiffon, though the plan chiffon hose are appropriate at all times. For sport wear the silk have given way to the imported English silk and wool stocking. They are much more practical for summer than the all wool and being much softer, many women find them far more comfortable. And in such fascinating colors can these hose be found, that our ankles are going to be more charmingly clad than ever. These colors after ample opportunity to have our hose match either our sweaters or our sport frocks. For the fad for the matching of hose is carried into the world of sports. But if you do not choose to wear these gay colors, you will look perfectly stunning if you pick out those with large diagonal checks of all shades of gray or tan. At times these silk and wool hose are clocked or else they have drop-stitch stripes. Seldom are they perfectly plain. Of course, with the silk sports frock or sports skirts the silk hose must be worn either in white, light gray or fawn, with matching shoes. But on the golf links or tennis court, wool is the thing.
