the front, and it is decorated in designs
carried out in silk cord to match the
shade of the suit. So many suits this
year are in light blue and pink linen
that the effect of the embroidered filet
is charming, and it makes the coat be-
coming to almost any figure. The coats
are cut. as a rule, on the cutaway plan,
finished all the way round the outside
edge with insertion and fastened in
front with frogs of silk cord, usually in
white.
The insertion and lace is generally
of cluny or torchon, these two being
the only appropriate laces to use with
linen, as they are both made of linen
thread. Some of the filet bands, in
stead of being embroidered in cord, are
done in soutache of a very narrow va
riety. This is quite an innovation, and
one hat seems likely to be very popular
during the coming summer. The bands
over the shoulders are about two
inches wide and are finished in broad
points at either end.

SHOULD TWO BLONDES MARRY?

Dear Miss Doom:
l have known a young gentleman
ever since / was a little girl. For six
years did not sec him, but recently we
met and he seemed very glad to see me.
I would like to know whether he cares
for me. He is very nice to me when he
calls at my house, but that is only
twice a week. l have found out that
he calls to see another girl.
/ am 10 years of age and he is 90. Do
you think we are too young to think of
love? My friends say I do not know
whether | love him or not, but L am
sure / love him more than anyone else.
We are both blondes and some people
say that blondes never marry happily.
Do you know if hat is so? Miss Doom
I am very much worried about this
affair, for l know l love this young man
very dearly.
Hoping to see your answer in THE
EVENING STAR. l.. w. M.
You poor foolish little girl, to worry
your head about his man without
knowing whether he cares for you. 1t
is perfectly natural he should be glad to
see you after such a long time, but that
is no reason why you should think he
loves you.
BE very sure that he loves you and
let him declare himself before you let
him know your feelings. If he cares
more for your han the other girl he
will soon let you know it. Your perfect
Indifference in the matter will help him

HER FATHERS FRIEND.

Ny Dear Miss Doom:
| am a girl of 90 and in love with q
man of 40. He is an old bachelor, but
comes often to our house to see my
father. Though he has never said he
cared for me, he gives me many boxes
of candy, and he gave me a handsome
locket for my birthday. He also takes
me driving. I love him dearly, and am
anxious to know whether he loves me
or not. Is there anything l can do TO
find out? Please answer soon and win
the thanks of ANXIOUS.
Remember, this man is old enough to
be your father. However, he must care
for you, or he would not pay you such
marked attention. The best way to
make sure is to pretend that you are
greatly interested in another The
aforementioned will then make known
his attitude toward you, I am sure.

I think the trouble is that you are
using too much of the powder without
using a foundation for it. Before APP
plying the powder rub in a little good
cold cream; this will nourish the skin
and keep the powder from clogging the
pores, which causes the itching and
burning sensation. Just a little powder
will be sufficient when you use the
cream.

Florida Counties.

In 1921, by order of Gen Jackson
Florida was divided in two counties.
West of the Suwannee river was Es-
Gambia county, and all east of the
Suwannee was st Johns county.
In the first council, held under Gov
w. p. Duval in 1922, two more coun-
ties were added. Jackson county was
created with Suwannee river as its
eastern boundary, and the ChOctaW-
hatchie river for it's western bOun-
Diary. Duval county was created with
the Suwannee river for its western
boundary and line drawn from the
mouth of the Suwannee to Cow Ford
on the st Johns river, thence down
said river to the ocean, formed its
southern boundary. Cow Ford is the
Jacksonville of today.
The councils of 1924 made more
counties. Gadsden was created with
a territory reaching from the Apa-
lachicOla river on the west to the
Suwannee river on the east. This
was subdivided to form Leon county,
Washington and Walton counties
were formed from Jackson and Es-
Gambia. Monroe county was created
to include all territory south of Char
lotte HarbOr. Mosquito county in
cluded all territory south of the head
of the south branch of Mantanzas
river. Alachua and Nassau counties
were created from the territory of
Duval.
In 1927 Jefferson was set off from
Leon and subdivided into Madison
and Hamilton counties.
In 1882 Columbia county was formed
/ 1888 Franklin was created.
1834-5, Hillsboro and Dade came
/ into existence.
1888 Calhoun was set off.
1912 Santa Rosa became a county.
;S43 Wakulla was formed.
| 1914 Marion and st Lucie.
1916 Mosquito was changed to
Orange.
The history of the other counties
is modern enough to be readily OBJ
tainable.
Thus it will be seen that the terri
tory bounded on the east and south
by the Suwannee river; west by the
Withlacoochee river, and north by
the Georgia line, was in 1921 portion
of Escambia county, in 1922 was part
of Jackson county; in 1924 a portion
of Gadsden county and since 1929 has
been known as Hamilton county
