What a shock it gives you and starts |
you to looking for silver threads |
the gold, when you see little |
girl one day wearing a short frOck and |
her hair tied up with big ribbons, and |
then the next time you see her she !
has donned a long party gown and is |
dressing her hair like the pictures in |
the beauty parlor. That is the SEN /
sation I got the other day when I saw !
Miss Marian Wear at a party for the |
first time since her return from Wash
ington last spring. She does not ex-
pect to return to school this year. but
will be out with the other girls of
her set this winter. She is a very at
tractive girl and will be tall and stat
uesque like her mother. Indeed, she
promises to be one of the charming
buds of the season.

hat she is finished, but admits occa-
sionally that When she writes a letter
she has to ask her mother how to spell
about half the words
