SEVERE BUT ELEGANT.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

White and black walking costumes
are vending their way along fashion,
able p~romenades. They are cut on
rather severe lines. and the ~favorite
materials are blanket cloths. camers-
hair and diagonal serges. One extreme
~ good-looking costume of white cloth
has a long coat, crossing to the right
side and fastened by two immense
black and white buttons. A black vel
vet collar drops in a straight line on
each side, and between its lower edges
and the buttons there is a large square
of black and white embroidery which
offers a shieidlike decoration Three
quarter sleeves have turned back cuffs
that are edged with pieatings of white
silk. Worn with this suit is 2 large hal
of white ottoman silk lined with blacl
velvet, on which a black velvet hoy
appears.
These new walking suits promise t.
attain great popularity with womer
who strive to combine severity with
elegance for outdoor frocks.

Ssunot Make Up Her Mind.

Dear Margery Doom:
I am 10. A young man, three years
my senior, has been calling for some
time. So have others. but I like him
best of all. Now, he wants me to give
up the rest and go with him alone. He
says I will have to do that or he will
give me up. as he thinks too much of
me to remain in doubt. l think q great
deal of him. but, Miss Doom, I cannot
bring myself to say I'll give up the
rest. | feel that l am too young to
know my own mind, and that / might
be sorry. Yet 1 cannot bear the
thought Of giving him up. Please help
me.
i advise you to tell him exactly what
you told me. Their ask him to give you
q few months in which to make ur
your mind. Ask him not to call for
some time. When you begin to miss
him you. may realize whether o love
him or not.
