love the girl. What shall I do?
REPENTANCE
A.-There is no use in telling
you you are some of the various
things you have probably already
called yourself. You ask my
help. There is only one honor
able thing you can do, and that
Is to go to the girl at once and
tell her the truth. You will In
all probability not need another
lesson in this line to determine
your actions in the future.
Dear Miss Grey:
What do you think of two
young girls, Is and 10 years old.
who stay at my house, and go
out to dances and cafes, and come
home on the last car, and one
girl and her beau sit on the
front porch, and the other on the
back porch, and fall asleep?
None of them have homes, and
i do not like to turn them out.
When L speak to them they an
swer in a slangy way. What can
1 do? VIII you please help me?
MRS. S. @.
A.-What do I think? AS i
write my heart is filled with
sympathy for you, and for the
four young people. l think you
have a rare opportunity to help
four people, but 1t will take tact
and a great deal of love.
think you must have the latter
or you would have turned them
out. First let your heart be
filled to overlooking for them.
Put your arms around them, and
talk to them like to little child
that has done wrong, but don't
scold. If you can do it, plan a
little supper for them and their
friends at your home. Let them
have a jolly good time, as long
as they do nothing really wrong.

Dear Miss Grey

Dear MISS trey
i am a young lady who is con-
sidered very beautiful. I am a
blond, and the young man / am
going with is a blond, too, and
he thinks two people of the same
complexion cannot agree. What
do you think of it, Miss Grey :?
Please give me your opinion OF
this. GREEN EYES.
Al do not think complex
ion has anything to do with 1t.
Some people do have that idea,
but it is not a very advanced one.
The marriages of today and the
future are becoming more and
more of a mental and spiritual
selection, rather than a mere
physical one. Here is another
thing | think, and that is that il
the young man really cares for
you he will not debate such a
question.

The influence of England and
France is strongly felt in this
country when mourning is worn.
For many years American women
wore nuns yelling as a badge of
bereavement That day is past.
Heavy English crepe is now shown
not only in hats and wells, but
forms a strong feature upon the
coats and dresses of those who are
wearing black"
From France comes the head
dress for mourners. The veil is
not worn over the face. 1t is
draped on the back of the hat
with many folds and hangs to or
below the waist line.
Even widows wear hats. The
sign of widowhood is the narrow
ruche which Is worn underneath
the rim of the rolling hat. The
latter is formed of heavy crepe
made of folds and a crushed
crown.
A very handsome costume for a
widow was recently made, the
dress proper being of China crepe.
This was so deliberately trimmed
with English crepe that little of
the main part of the dress was
seen. The heavy English material
reached within IL inches of the
waist line in front and at the side
and back the crepe was put on for
a depth of 20 inches. The yoke
was of black chiffon. The collar
and bow were of the crepe, while
crepe bands were on the short
sleeves. The sash and bow were
also of this material.
When the heavy mourning i

THIRTY WILL FAIL
OF APPOINTMENT
TO TEACHERSH|PS
Not Enough Vacancies for
Eighty-six Normal School
Graduates.

More than thirty normal school gradu-
ates Of last spring will fail to obtain
appointments as teachers this fall
This fact became known today when
the designations and vacancies were
taken into account, and It was found
that there would be places for only
about sixty new teachers. The normal
graduating class Of last year number
eighty-six, 50 that there Is a consider
able surplus Of young women for the
demand.
Last season about twenty young
women failed to be appointed, though
some Of these were later given positions
In the Maryland and Virginia schools.
and several received assignments as
teachers Of physical culture. cooking,
and other special subjects.
The excess Of teaching material
probably will result in making the
entrance requirements to normal
school more rigid and In making can
didates stand examinations before
they can teach. At present their nor
NAL school diplomas are sufficient to
gain them appointments IL there are
vacancies.
This question was taken up last
year, but was not acted on. DR.. W.
NJ. Davidson is expected TO investi-
gate the situation. The teachers to
ton meeting will be named In the
order: of their rating by the normal
school principal as shown by their
graduation certificates.
