Ed Hitchcock. PARADE oF FASHION MERE AND ABROAD Louis XVI Decided. Writhing Snake is Shape of Kerchiefs Latest Belt Effect PARIS. Handkerchiefs are square, and not oblong or round, because in 1784 Louis XVI, king of France, solemnly issued an edict from the palace of Versailles that only square handkerchiefs might be manufactured in the kingdom. Until then handkerchiefs had been long scarflike affairs.

But Louis XVI'S laws being considerably out of date, modern handkerchief's continue to be square not because the law demands it, but because customers prefers them that way since they fit into the pocket more easily than oblong ones. Angora Wool Used New Embroidery PARIS Angora wool is one of the important innovations of summer styles, as compared with spring fashions. Light weight sweaters are made of the shaggy wool, and some of the prettiest embroidery on sport things is worked in angora wool thread. Embroidered dots are the usual form, but angora wool band embroidery and angora cross stitch are also seen. Worth has a pretty rose colored angora sweater with a white zigzag design woven in it and white dote embroidered in the angles.

A pleated skirt of rose crepe de chine goes with it.

Little Theater Players have come back to the scenes of childhood days, when "the gang" gathered in the barn hay loft to play at "circus." A renovated barn, once famous for its fine horses, has been made the playhouse of the Little Theater group.

It was a gift of the descendants of the late James Lee, operator of a line of Mississippi river boats, the most famous of which was the historic "Robert E. Lee." "First Nights" at Little Theater presentations signalize the gathering of Memphis' society. are directed by Colin Clements. Mrs. Richard Mansfield was a recent guest star in "The Goose The WOMANS DAYby ALLENE SUMNER Houses should be built with their backs to the street, and their fronts facing a grassy, flowery, shady, quiet court, according to a prominent architect of Paris, who would revive the middle-age way of building homes so that privacy and quiet could be had by the house dwellers.

A charming idea, only he overlooks one point -how then, could a housewife show off her new curtains? WHEN IS AN ANTIQUE? Paulina boastfully showed me her "new Colonial lamp" the other day for her Colonial bedroom. The chimney was even realistically smoked. I looked at Paulina in amazement, thinking how funny it was. I remembered Paulina's rage only a handful of years ago because "they didn't have electric lights like other folks," and because she had to clean the smoky chimneys of the oil lamps in the old rambling Colonial, "unimproved" house that had been her grandfather's. Paulina finally nagged the family into selling and taking "a modern house" like other people.

That was perhaps 15 years ago. Now Paulina, married, "very modern," has gone in for the early American and haunts second-hand shops for the very things she despised and mocked not so many years ago. I have heard that she is fighting like mad to buy back the home of her ancestors, once SO scorned a thing. Life IS perplexing! TRUDY'S POP. Trudy Ederle, first woman to swim the English channel, pays her father, the much advertised "Pop Ederle," $1,000 a week from her vaudeville earnings which, though she is supposed to be paid $6,000 a week, have dwindled down to a.

few hundred when all expenses are paid. "Pop" gets the thousand, it seems, because he put up $1,500 for Trudy's expenses. That $1,000 of it was Trudy's own, given to "Pop" for -keeping, was never emphasized. So, in return for the $1,500, 'Pop" got a summer abroad, a trip home Hangs High." Francis Mallory, Memphis debutante of last year, achieved such a success in her roles here that she is studying in New York and plans to continue on the stage. Donna Fisher and Noreen Cathey are two of this season's stars.

other player, a young girl whose financial circumstances are limited, is an usher in a downtown theater three nights of the week and studies at the "stable" the other evenings. Many of the Little Theater's productions are those that have won success in New York. Famous classics of the theater also are presented. Rev. Caldwell To Preach Sermon For High School Rev.

Edward Caldwell, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon for Leon County High School tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock in Trinity Methodist Church. At 11 o'clock in the morning, Rev. H. A. Spencer, pastor of Trinity Church, will preach, his subject to be "The Greatest of All Questions." Sunday school will be held at the usual hour.

Motorists of Montreal are fined for splashing mud on pedestrians while passing through pools of water at a high rate of speed. to Germany, much glory, thousands of dollars from bets he placed on Trudy, increased business in his meat-shops, and now the $1,000 from Trudy. AGE AND YOUTH. Because his daughter returned from a dance later than he thought she should, an Ohio father shot and killed the 19-year-old girl. This case is but an exaggerated result of hordes of parents who fly into unreasonable rages because things are different today than they were when they were young.

It seems queer to hear uncontrolled age lecture youth. It should first learn to govern itself. LUCKY KIDS. American children, born of parents whose ancestors have been American-born for generations back, are not properly appreciative of the economic difference in which they are regarded by their parents as contrasted with the way foreignborn parents regard their children. Large families mean to European parents a large income as soon as the children can evade the school laws.

-Each child is insured as a wage earner should be, and whether parents need it or not, it is assumed that each child, whether he or she lives at home or not, shall turn in all of his or her wages until riage. I'll admit that a happy medtum betwixt the continental and American kids rarely think of contributing a penny at home until the law makes them. King Tut Wore Gold Toes FEET OF TUT ANKH- AMEN When Howard Carter, surviving director of the explorations into the tombs of the Pharaohs at Luxor, came to the third and innermost gold coffin of "King Tut," he found the mummy dressed in gold toe Mrs. Freeman Suffers Badly Fractured Arm The following from the Ocala Star will be of interest to the many friends of Mrs. Freeman, who is the mother of Mrs.

L. A. Yates, and 13 well known here: The many friends of Mrs. Albert Freeman regret to hear that she is suffering from a badly fractured arm, injured yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock when her car turned over. Mrs.

Freeman and Mrs. A. T. Thomas had been spending a couple of days in Tampa with relatives and were returning home. When about two miles north of Inverness a tire blew out and the car skidded, turning over.

Mrs. Freeman's right arm was caught and badly mashed and fractured in two places. Mrs. Thomas was unhurt. An Inverness physician brought Mrs.

Freeman to Ocala and placed here in the Marion General hospital.

With the beginning of tion of the Narym region these recluses fled to the woods and have since refused to have intercourse with other people. she spent a fairly restful night and hope that she will soon be able to be out. UNION STATION RESTAURANT -Open All NightSPECIAL ON YOUNG CHICKEN Three flavors of Ice Cream at all hours. Any Quantity, Regular -50c PARIS Snake-skins which encircle the waist in a spiral are used on some of the latest sport dresses.

The entire skin, head and tail, is often employed. The parallel ends fasten at points about six inches apart. Sometimes, in place of the head of the snake, wings of Mercury finish off the belt. The same winding effect of snake-skins, and ribbons as well, is often seen on hats. Paris Preoccupied With Trouser Idea PARIS Wise heads which thought that the outburst of trouser skirts earlier in the season was only a form of spring madness now foresee a serious movement towards divided skirts.

As long as women wear their skirts on a level with their knees the problem of how to preserve a modest appearance when seated in a low, easy chair must be dealt with. Dressmakers continue to herald trousers as the solution. The midsummer collections, as well as the advance autumn styles retain the divided and knickerbocker skirt ideas. Many skirts which are not divided have matching knickers beneath them. Newest Tailleurs Have Longer Coats PARIS Evidence increases daily of Paris' intention to lengthen coats on fall and winter suits to a point somewhere around the knees.

After a summer of hip length jackets and boleros, the pendulum dently to swing the other way. Parisians are wondering if with longer coats, skirts will lengthen too. Unless they do, coats will come within easy hailing distance of skirt hems. Mrs. Greenfield To Be Honoree At Card Party Honoring Joseph E.

Greenfield, of Atlanta, nee Miss Agnes Game, of Tallahassee, who is home on a visit, Mrs. J. B. Game, will entertain at cards Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Woman's Club. The affair is one of a series of parties planned in compliment to Mrs.

Greenfield during her visit. COLOR COMBINATIONS.

Hotel Commission Measure Ready For Martin's Signature Senate amendment to the measure changing the law with reference to the Hotel Commissioner was immediately concurred in by the House when it reached that body.

The amendment of the Senate, it was announced, struck out a section providing for bonuses, which had been under fire in the House when the bill originally was passed by that body, but had been left in the bill. The concurrence of the House sends the measure to the Governor for his signature. The elephant is the last of his kind, and he is in a fair way toward extinction.
