RAND CANYON, ARIZ.—
It gets on your nerves to
body would believe it!”
After I heard 174 separate and
distinct tourists repeat the above it
got on my nerves
and I sought sur-
cease far from the
maddening round-
tripper, hoping to
escape the common-
place babbling of
eastern sight-seers
and revel in the
salty humor of the
unspoiled West. And
I ran into a native
who said, with the
cute air of having jprvin 8. Cobb
just thought it up,
“Yes, sir, I never felt better or
had less.”
And I encountered a gentleman
who in parting called out, ‘‘Say, kid,
don’t take in any wooden nickels.”
And then, speaking of someone else,
remarked, “If I never see that
guy again it'll be too soon.”

I know what I'd call them. When

Scrambled Cooking.
OWN below Flagstaff, Ariz., but
somewhat to the eastward, in a
picturesque city which saddles the
international boundary, I found a
unique condition.
The best American food available
is across the Mexican line at a
restaurant owned by a Greek gen-
tleman with a Chinese cook in the
kitchen. But the best Mexican cook-
ery is done well over on the Ameri-
can side by a German woman
whose husband is an Italian.
So our own native-born citizens,
when hungry for the typical dishes
of New England or Dixie, journey
beyond the border patrols, passing
on their way many of their Span-
miles northward for a bit of su-
perior tamales and the more in-
flammatory brands of chili.

Dueling a la Europe
NTIL Dr. Franz Sarga, the duel-
ing husband of Budapest, really
serves one of his enemies en bro-
chette, as it were, instead of just
trimming off hangnails and side
whiskers, I decline to get worked
up. You remember the Doc? He
set out to carve everybody in Hun-
gary who'd snooted his lady wife
and found himself booked to take on
quite a large club membership. But
so far he hasn't done much more
damage than a careless chiropodist
could.
Once, in Paris, I was invited to
a duel. I couldn't go, having a prior
engagement to attend the World
time, so I sent a substitute.
He reported that after the prin-
cipals exchanged shots without per-
er, entwining in a sort of true-love
knot.

The Forgotten Man.
HOSE whose memories stretch
that far back into political an-
tiquity may recall the ancient days
that seem so whimsically old-fash-
ioned now, when our present Presi-
dent was running the first time on
a platform which, by general con-
sent, was laughed off immediately
following election. He promised
then to do something for the forgot-
ten man. Remarks were also
passed about balancing the budget
right away. We needn't go into
that.
But the forgotten man figured ex-
tensively in the campaign. Then,
for awhile, popular interest in him
seemed to languish. So many new
issues came up suddenly, some, like
dyspepsia symptoms, being but tem-
porary annoyances, and some which
lingered on and abide with us yet,
including Mr. John L. Lewis, the
well-known settee.
And now, after these five change-
ful, crowded years, we have solved
the mystery—we know who the for-
gotten man is. The name is Tug-
well, spelled as spoken, but you
can pronounce it “Landon’ and get
practically the same general re-
sults,

UMMER velvet is Important
fashion news for the bride-to-be
and out of the ordinary material
for the making of her own gown as
well as those for her attendants.
No word picturing can do justice
to this enchanting fabric, for the
loveliness of summer velvet cannot
be visualized by the mere telling.
Unless you have seen summer vel-
vet you are due for a surprise for
it is not all-velvet by any means.
Imagine, if you can, a sheer filmy
mousseline de soie or chiffon or
dainty organza background strewn
with exquisitely delicate interwoven |
velvet designs or motifs, well that's
summer velvet.
The idea of costuming the bride
and her attendants in summer vel-
vet becomes the more intriguing in
that a most fascinating play on color
is made possible for the velvet mo-
tifs can be any color you choose.
The scheme is worked out in this
manner for the gowns pictured.
White mousseline de soie patterned
with tiny winged motifs of white
velvet is used for the youthful wed-
ding gown as here shown, The bride
wears pearls and a diamond clip
at the low V-shape decolletage. Her
bouquet is the new idea—pale lav-
ender orchids carried in a handle
of carved prystal, forming a fan ef- |
fect.
The matron of honor to the right |
in the picture also wears summer
velvet—white mousseline de soie with
green velvet motifs posed over a
SHORT DANCE FROCK
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
When the new short-length dance
frock first made its appearance it
created quite a sensation. However,
it did not take long for it to become
a general favorite. The dress pic-
tured is of lovely printed silk chif-
fon. It accents the slender waist-
line such as fashion demands—a re-
turn to the silhouettes of the long
ago. The gown was worn by a
prominent society debutante at
“The Silk Parade to Waltz Time,”
a benefit affair recently taking place
in New York.

of the poke bonnet, is in the same
green shade with a huge bow and

vet ribbon. The matron of honor's
bouquet is of palest yellow and
white freesias. Her Aris gloves are

broidery in gold thread. Emeralds

BRIDE NEW STYLE
By CHZRIE NICHOLAS
The June bride will be fashion- |
ably attired this season when she |
chooses lace for her gowns. With |
the present vogue for lace for day- |
time wear, for evening gowns, and
for the highly popular house coats |
and delicate negligees, the roman-
tic appeal of this material makes it
a favorite for wedding gowns and
bridesmaids’ dresses.
Cut on classic lines, the beautiful
lace patterns of this season allow
for exquisite details of workman-
ship for the bridal gown. One love-
ly gown seen recently is perfectly
simple in line but has fine details
below the hips where the slight full
ness starts.

larly as the veil is quite short and
does not fall to the train. In gen-
eral these lace wedding gowns
have shorter veils so that their deli-
cate patterns are not obscured.
Wedding Parties Dressed
All in Lace Is Fashion
Wedding parties dressed entirely
in lace are in the fashion picture
this year. One of the best we have
seen is of all-white peau d’ange in
a Chantilly pattern for the bride.
There were no seams to the dress,
avoiding any unnecessary line that
might interfere with the beautiful
pattern of the lace, and the edges
throughout were entirely hand-ap-
pliqued. A matching mantilla head-
dress was worn with this wedding
gown.
The wedding party, all in lace,
made a charming and a te
setting for the bride. The brides-
maids’ dresses were of novelty all-
over lace, in pastel shades. The
headdresses, in contrast with the
mantilla of the bride, were formed
