A FASHIONABLE FROCK IN
SEMI-PRINCESSE STYLE
BY MAY MANTON

Simple gowns in semi-princesse style
are being made from all sorts of ma
terials this season, anda this one is
equally well adapted to the ~favorite
charmeuse and similar materials and
to the lightweight wool materials. 1t
includes the new sleeves that are
sewed to the blouse portion at the
long shoulder line and a big collar
that is eminently becoming. In this
case it is made with three-quarter
sleeves, but long sleeves are being
much worn. and the dress can be
finished in either way. There is 3
three-piece skirt Tapped onto a narrow
panel IT the front, and beneath the
overlapping edges at the left side the
closing is made invisibly. In the illus
tration one of the new silk-and-wool
novelties is trimmed with satin, but
this entire froek would be charming
made from charmeuse satin or char
meuse crepe with the collar and cuffs
of a contrasting color. Smoke gray
with amber would be extremely fash
ionable and extremely pretty. and all
white is to be much worn by young
girls. If two materials are liked. the
panel at the front of the blouse and at
the front of the skirt could be made
OF a different material. A plain ma
terial with the panels of striped OF
plaid would be effective. and plaid is
much in vogue for uses Of the kind.
Many girls are wearing dresses with
~collarless necks, and In place of the
stock collar the neck can be cut to
any desired depth and finished.
For the l6-year size the dress viii

Should She Wait for Student
Sweetheart?

Dear Miss Doom:
Do you think 1t advisable for a girl
to go with a young mi for about
three years or more before marrying?
/ am IS years old and am going with
d young man of 81. He Is at present
studying at college and has promised
to marry me when he graduates. 1
have known him about a year. and he
wants me to wait for him until he
finishes school. Please advise me. l
love him very much.
Sincerely.
N. R. d.
Both you and your friend are far
too young to consider marrying.
Even if he were not studying. I
would advise you to wait at least
three years before deciding the i'm
portant question. Tastes are not set
tied at IS and 81, and the people who
attract each other at those ages may
prove wholly uninteresting a few
years later. Early marriages are. to
my mind, the chief cause of SO many
shipwrecks on the high lei of matri-
mony, and should be avoided, no mat
ter how pleasing the prospect Of mar
Rage may seem to the youth and
maid.
Let this boy friend of yours be abb
solutely free to form friendships with
girls he meets at college. and you
yourself exercise the same freedom
with regard to the young men o
meet. In this way you will both have
an opportunity of comparing men and
girls before. you are married. 1t is
often disastrous to defer this process
until after marriage. The result of q
wider acquaintance a serve to in
crease your appreciation of each
other. If that is the case, you will
have a good start on the road to hap
piness; IL it isn't, you car c%ongratu-
late yourselves that the knowledge
came before it was too late.
While your friend is at college don't
you think It would be an excellent
plan for you to study and read along
the lines in which he is interested, so
that you may not be Inundated by
realizing later that during three years
he has been going steadily forward,
while you have been standing still?
