Almost any hostess has among
her friends both men and women

Dear Miss Grey: After
reading the numerous letters
and your answers In the
Times, have decided to ask
you a question.
| am living in 4 good class
hotel and have been here
some time; but as yet have
not met any gentlemen
friends, and would ask il you
can suggest any way in which
l can meet some desirable
people. JEAN.
Al can but give you a sug-
gestion; then, you will have to
use your own discernment to de-
termine those who are desirable
acquaintances, and those who are
not.
If you will change your resi-
dence from a hotel to first
class-mind you, the best-board-
ing house, you will no doubt meet
pleasant people of both sexes.
Then, there are always the
young peoples church and Y. w.
q. A. clubs, where one can get &C
quainted with others.
Dear Miss Grey: / am d
high school boy about 10
and am in love with a girl of
my own age. She is exceed
ingly quiet and bashful when
we are in school. She and
are getting along very nicely,
but | love her very dearly.
One day ! went up to her
house and she was very an
cry, not at me, but seems to
have something in her
thought or something has got
into her mind. She would not
speak to me when I called
on her the other day. Do you
think she is angry at me?
Now, how could I make her
speaksto me?
Please answer as soon as
possible. Thanking you, /
remain, A SCHOOLBOY.
erA.-If you could see the num-
Der of corrections 1 was obliged
to make In your letter before pub
fishing, / should think you would
be ashamed to call yourself high
school student. Instead of vast
ing your time on a girl who Is too
sensible to be silly about you, you
would better get down to study
ing.
Dear Miss Grey: have q

GREY'S
LETTERS

Dear Miss Grey: I, like
many others, write to you
for advice when the problem
becomes too hard for me to
solve.
l am a young man of
twenty-five and have been
boarding with a family for
two years. They have
daughter, nineteen, whom l
have treated with respect
and taken many places as a
brother would a sister.
About two weeks ago 1
said in fun that we would
have to get married, and she
took it in earnest. She told
me she had loved me for a
long time. l was not aware
of this before. | thought we
were just good friends, and l
told her was only joking.
/ have seen her in tears
many times since, and she
says II l do not marry her
now she will commit suicide,
and l have reasons to be-
lieve she will do 1t. l do not
love her, and do not think
we would get along together,
so will you please advise me.
Thanking you in advance.

The diaphanous note is given by a collar of organdie rising at the throat and truly nautical is the Jack Tar hat of white corduroy, exact ly like the duck hat of the crew. Of course white, rubber soled deck shoes accompany this yachting costume and the woman who dislikes the heelless deck shoe, or fears falling-arch, that menace of the instep, Is delighted to find this year that there are rubber soled deck shoes with low rubber heels.
 For Regatta Days On Board The
 Large Yacht.
 Quite in contrast to the trig and trim yachting costumes just described, but perfectly correct for yachting wear on day of special festivity Is a white crepe mohair frock which car ries out the middy effect in a long waisted Jumper over a narrow, plain skirt. White buckskin deck shoes give the unmistakable yachting flavor to this costume, despite the coquettish hat and the white gloves, drawn over the arms as protection against sum- burn. The middy blouse Is embroid- cred with blue and white cotton in coarse, effective style and the blouse ends in a low placed belt of blue suede. Cuffs and collar are matching blue velvet and the white felt hat is trimmed with blue wings. Very fetch ing is this natty blue and white yacht ing rig which was worn on a fifty-fooi motor yacht during the Larchmont Yacht Club regatta week late in July

and exercise alone is relied upon for the weight reduction, great deal of exercise will have to be taken-as you will readily understand. Four miles is none too far to walk after hearty breakfast of fruit, cereal, bluefish and creamed potatoes. If hot biscuits are thrown in, a mile or two extra had better be added to the after breakfast jaunt. You will come back to lunch con, of course, with tremendous ap- petite; but very little food should be taken and on no account. now, retire to a hammock or a chair on the veranda for lazy afternoon of read ing. Rest half an hour and then spend the afternoon playing tennis or golf. After bath and rest at five o'clock, go down to dinner and enjoy the meal; but no sitting around the veranda all the evening! If you dance, so much the better. There Is nothing like dancing to make the figure sylphlike, and the new Maxixe is especially good for the hips and ankles. If you are not dancer, try the bowling alley, or paddle about in canoe, or lacking these diversions, take a stroll before bed time. Any thing to keep in motion and out of a rocking chair-the insidious enemy
 of the woman-who- o-would-be-slim.
 All these exercises are within the
 reach of the woman who spends her summer in the ordinary way-at

heeled white pumps, which tell the tale of a luxurious, rug-covered after deck and an equally luxurious power launch for conveyance aboard and ashore. This costume is of white toweling with effectively placed bands of imitation Venise lace. The white sailor with its twin wings Is g charm ing feature of the costume.
 Another white costume of the same sort, worn at Larchmont during rac- ing week, was of white serge with a tunic covering back and sides of the skirt but separating at the front to show a front panel. The short coat, belted at the waistline with white kid. opened over a waistcoat of bhe and white checked pussy willow silk, the waistcoat having tabs that fell be- low the kid belt Sections of the coat which was fancifully cut but toned down on the belt with kid covered buttons, and where the flare collar joined the coat, at either side of the checked waistcoat. swung two gay blue silk tassels. A white sailor trimmed with blue wings matched this charming yachting costume.
 Gay -colored Apparel For The CluB-

 If white is favored on the water, gay colors are the choice for shore, and a gathering of women on the yacht club veranda presents galaxy of bright hues on regatta afternoon. The prevalence of orange tones is all ways notable in any fashionable gath ering this season. Much strong orange Is used in costume accessories such as sashes on white frocks or semi yelled sashes under tunics of black lace or tulle. A bright orange bow

and makes for grace rather than the hard vigor which sometimes makes the expert woman tennis player bit masculine in movement and manner.
 Boxing is another splendid exercise for reducing the weight, and every woman who likes good. brisk exercise should have punching bag installed in her home. The punching bag is better for women than an adversary of inc human species-and especially of the same sex: for fear of hurting her opponent, or of doing something rude. makes 1t next to impossible for one woman to spar with another. If your prime object in summer exercise is reducing, dress as warmly as you can for the exercise. Wear a flannel blouse by all means and if you can stand it, sweater over the blouse. Wool tights under the skirt, or knickers of wool-woven stuff will help materially to take flesh off the hips. because of the precipitation thus in- duced.
 Before going in for continued strenuous exercise have yourself ex-S amined by physician and make sure there Is no organic heart trouble.

The sleeves. though in coat length are short enough to escape the wrist--like mannish coat sleeves which are worn rather short this sea- son.

> UMMER is beyond peradventure \ the season for weight reducing. N Nature assists in the process in o natural rnanper hv inducinR

~ OMMER IS beyond perauVenture the season for weight reducing. Nature assists in the process in natural manner by inducing profuse precipitation at the very least amount of exercise whereas in winter precipitation must be secured by arti- ficial means and by @ much more strenuous effort. And profuse per spiration, not only of the face, but every pore in the body is the quickest and surest reducer there Is.
 But the effort which induces per spiration must not be abruptly dis continued after the exercise is over or all the good results will be lost. For example, the brisk game of ten his from which one comes all in glow must not be followed by warm bath, a hearty lunch and then a com fortable, lazy nap all afternoon, for during the nap-and because of the l hearty meal, the benefit of the game will be completely offset and in the l end more weight will be gained than lost. Half an hours rest-lazy rest, that Is, should be quite enough for the woman who sets out to reduce by the process of exercise. The rest should be followed by some other form of exercise, not necessarily as strenuous as tennis or golf, but active enough to keep the muscles from relaxing and the cohorts of the enemy-other- wise layers of fat-from gathering their forces in ambush for the de- struction of slim lines.
 There are various ways of reducing the weight. Diet is one very excellent way. but few women inclined to plumpness have the will power for eternal elf-denial--particula when the summer is spent at hotel where a "good table" is one of the chiei attractions. Four pounds a week fol | two weeks, and two pounds week thereafter can positively be lost by any woman who will systematically and conscientiously restrict her diet to non-fat producing foods. but this means no indulgence in tempting des' serts. no coffee, tea and chocolate, nc water drunk at meals, no soup before dinner, no butter oh the morning muffins-indeed no mufins, if one i' really in earnest Potatoes, cauli flower creamed sauces. gravies, jams preserves, fried food of all sorts ant other nice things which make-as ont discouraged woman says eatint worth while-must be sternly passed by in favor of rare meats without fat few green vegetables that grow above ground, salads dressed withou
 oil, whole wheat bread a little stale toast thoroughly dried through ant served without butter. cereals withou
 sugar. and fresh, not stewed fruit Spices. condiments and high season
 ings of all sorts should be avoided b. the conscientious weight reducer.
 one has the courage and strength o
 character to abide by suchf diet
 week in and week out, while every
 body else is enjoying appetizing dain
 ties. the effort will certainly be re
 warded in the course of month o
 so by marked improvement in tn
 figure lines; and If the dietary ha
