A Matter of Common Sense
By Beatrice FatY1ax

TINE pendulum of fashion has
swung so far toward what the
women like to call THE Artistic
that it sometimes appears it viii neve
again swing back to Common Sense.
If woman can afford to stay in bed
When paying the penalty for appearing
in pumps and silk hose in stormy
weather, that is a matter that concerns
only her She IS the woman who could
stay in bed for a long, long time before
the world will really miss her.
But it is the woman who is needed;
who is useful; who has work to do,
and does it, who can not be too harshv
condemned for risking her life and her
usefulness by appearing on the streets
i'm December in attire that is suggestive
of June.
She Is one of the thousands who have
clasped hands around the pendulum of
fashion and are swinging on it far far,
away from everything that is sane and
sensible.
She is one of the vast army of women
who disregard comfort in winter. be-
cause comfort in winter carries with It
a suggestion Of clumsiness.
The foot in high shoe with thick sole
doesn't look as dainty as one in silk
hose and pumps. She clings to her silk
hose and pumps when every draft of
cold air booms its warning Of rheuma-
tism, tuberculosis. pneumonia and
death.
y throat that is covered affords no
opportunity for the display of what so
many foolish women regard as one of
the greatest of their physical charms.
So she bares her neck to every throat
disease the cold blasts from the north
may carry.

TAKE HER AT HER WORD.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A girl friend of mine asked me
this question: If she told me en-
phatically that she did not want me
to call on or try to see her, would
try to see her?
She declared that If a fellow did
NOT try to see a girl, even after she
had told him repeatedly not to call
he was not Of much account.
1 would like to know what an
swer you would give her. She was
not satisfied when I said l did not
know what I would do. She says it
is test to see whether ] am sin
cere or not. PUZZLED.
rms is an unusual test, and not one
that is fair to the man.
II 1t We're a proposal OF marriage and
she declined, he would be justified by
MS love to refuse to take NO" and to
PERSIST in counting her.
But when a girl tells a man he must
never call, or try to see her, he owes IL
20 his self-respect to take her at hei
word Such a demand from her is proof
mat she cares neither for his acquaiut-
nce nor friendship

and said:
Look here. sir, I'll give you so on
condition that you don't come into my

The offer was promptly accepted
Next morning the unabashed collector
was on the scene again. He knocked
at the merchants door, and was told to
come i'm" Then. Whats the mean

GEA Tot long ago a clergyman was
v severely criticised for encour-
aging girls, especially wage
earning girls to dress as we'll as they
could, possibly even little better. Ac-
cording to Miss Mary Lawton, that
clergyman understood the psychology
of clothes, the moral effect of dress.
Miss Lawton is the beautiful VAL
kyrie-like person who submerges her
temperamental and emotional self as
Becky's nurse, who has not one shred
of humor or Imagination in her compe-
tent and conscientious care of that
young Iady's case.
The actor or 1 will say the actress,
and speak for myself, realizes the tre-
mendous effect which clothes have, not
only on the spirits, but even on the
manncrisms Of the person." said Miss
Lawton.

pirations for some time, but who has

we broke friendship one year ago
On his return from college l failed

his place to do so first. Today we
spoke for the first time, he claiming
it was my place to speak first. Now
what l want to know is, was it the
gentlemans place or mine to speak
first, as it was through no fault Of
mine we separated? n. D.

Your parents are right. You are too
