Among the many letters I re-
ceive every day / am sure to get
some from two different types of
women. One takes the ultra-in-
tellectual pose and tells me she
thinks the cultivation of brains
is of much more Importance than
the cultivation of ones physique.
The other seems to have no brains
at all and insists that l send her
advice right away on how she
can be made beautiful, over night,
without any thought. l am afraid
neither of these will ever be noted
for great beauty.
In the first place, we should
remember that Dame Nature
takes into no account a woman S
mentality or her spiritual side.
If she lives properly in the ma
terial sense and in time repro
duces her kind it is all that Ma
ture asks of her.
Man, however, has asked more
of woman as civilization has ad-
vanced.
Most men love beauty more
than brains. Beauty does not tire

The graceful clinging effect, so
necessary in the skirt of silk or
other flimsy material, may be Sc
cured by the use of an interim
ing on the lower hem, or a facing
with a strip of flannel. Some
other wooden fabric may be used
if it has enough body to give
weight to the lower edge of the
skirt. This interlining should be
of the same color or light enough
not to change the color OF the
dress.

Frequently someone asks the
ordinary mode of procedure in
receiving callers. If hostess
opens the door herself, she
shakes hands cordially with the
caller and takes her into the sit
ting room; offers her chair and
then sits down herself. If she is
going to serve tea, she excuses
herself for a few minutes. At
the end of the call, she accom-
panies her guest to the door and
shakes hands again.

WHO SEEM TO BE NICE

WHO SEEM TO BE NICE
Dear Miss Grey: Every
day when 1 happen to be
going to work i'm the after
noon, 1 meet two young
boys who seem to he very
nice. They always smile or
say something; but 1 have
never noticed them.
Miss Grey, / never knew
how 1 loved one of them un-
til n few days ago, and they
want to meet me. Can you
tell me some way of being
introduced, or wouldn't 1t
be right to introduce our
selves? Is it right for me to
him? And do you think a
girl too young at sixteen to
go out with boy? Hope
you will print the answer
soon. SWEET SIXTEEN.
Any child, have nothing t.
do with the boys who smirk an
make remarks as you pass.
see 1t every day on the street
and would blush to claim sue
boys as sons. Tell your mothe
about them and do as she says
1t is very wrong to take up wit
strange boys, who have not you
good at heart.
When you are older you vii
know that you do not love. Yo
are flattered by the attention pal
you. 1t is emotion you are feel
ing, and it is as unsubstantial a
seafoam.
When love comes, you Wi
know it. 1t is sweeter, pure
and better than the feeling pro
duced by a silly boy who doe
not respect you.
If you follow my advice, yo
will never regret it; if not, yo
may suffer.
