Red-Headed “Dan Cupid” Leads Many to Happiness
J ' . -—
SAN $*KANCISCO.—Ctipld” has a seff^ppoitifed helper working behind
the money-order window ih the San Francisco post office. His name is
Dan Slattery, and he’s steered at least 20 couples of postal employees along
r" the rosy road of romance. Dan s a
funny little red-headed Irishman, pdS'
sessed of a pair of bright blue eyes
that twinkle and a broad mouth that’s
continually breaking into a whimsical
grin,
His specialty is “framing” mar
riages among post' bffiee employees,
having them meet oiie afcdther “by
•accident” and later acting &S best man
JJ at the wedding.
The minute a new girl joins fb#
post office staff, Slattery sizes her up'
•ana eeciaes wnat ieuow wm ao Desi. gm « ~ -
lantly drifts into her department some And asks if she don t like to
dance. A smile goes around the department.
The girl says “yes.” Then Dan remarks casftWflty:
^ “I’d like to have you drop around to Slattery’s hat1? ndkt Wednesday night.”
“Nobody to go with.”
“Oh, I’ll take you!”
* The man Dan has chosen is there. Dan introduces them add' leaves. The
following Sunday he invites them to visit him at the “lodge,” a romantic k>g
shack in San Geronimo, in lovely Marin county.
, As a rule after one Sunday spent at the “lodge” the couple can be left
safely, whereupon Dan goes to work on the next pair.
j Ingenious Small Wraps of Fur
Although there has been a certain
^ amount of reaction, in the direction
■of simplicity in fur garments, the mode
finds place for much that may not be
-classed as simple. For last winter de
signers vied with one another in mak
ing small wraps that embodied several
different styles in one garment—capes,
coatees and scarfs were all suggested
in a single hybrid. The designers
were endlessly ingenious and the clev
erness of these smaller garments gave
them a charm that made a very suc
• cessful appeal. So much so that the
same idea has reappeared this season
> in fur wraps and there is a hint of it
fil the wide scarfs of brushed or an
gora wool that are furnished with
> belts to match.
Among the new models those that
are most like a scarf, prove to be the
most useful. By discarding the belt
' they may be worn with a tailored suit
when extra warmth is required. Worn
with a one-piece frock and belted down
they become a coatee, wonderfully
5 becoming and convenient for afternoon
, or evening wear. One of the best of
the new models of this kind appears
at the right of the two shown in the
picture. It is made in several furs;
kolinsky, mink, dyed, squirrel, sealskin,
are all effective in it, but the furs hav
ing a dark stripe are best. It is shown
In kolinsky with a wide cape collar
and a narrow belt. The stripes in the
skins are placed to run diagonally
te_. >.
A
across the ends at the front and a
fringe of tails adds an appearance of
considerable length. The collar may
be brought up in the muffler fashion.
The muff to match is smaller than the
average, but it is soft and nearly flat—
in the approved style.
Seal and leopard are combined in
the chic coatee at the left in such a
way that each enhances the beauty of
the other. The leopard skin looks like
a small sleeveless jacket and its bril
liance is softened by the indefinite
markings in the pelt and a very gen
erous shawl collar of sealskin. This
wrap has three-quarter sleeves and a
narrow belt of sealskin. It extends
in panels (that widen toward the bot
tom) below the waistline at the back
and straight in front, leaving the hips
uncovered.
An Ideal Trimming.
How glad one ought to be to see the
ostrich feather come back as trimming
for hats for middle-aged women. It
has a softness about it that no other
hat ornament ever had and is more
becoming to old faces than the harsh
trimmings that have been in vogue so
long.
