obliged him TO stay. The speeches
were strung out partly because the

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
chums and would like your advice.
G) Is It proper to ask a young man
(whom you know. very welD to escort
YOU to a house party or sleigh ride?
(2) Is II proper TO write a letter TO
a young man asking him TO go TO a
party with you when you cannot see
him?
CD II so. how should the letter be
worded2
a. How wei must you know a
young man in order TO ask him 70
party?
(5J Is It proper to hold hands with
a young man and IL not right, why?
(s) How can you tell II a young
man likes you very well?
GOI hare a friend who does not
seem to care for me. although MY
friends say he does. but is too bash
full and does not think I care for him.
What shall do. as 7 am very much
In love with him and do not care 20
have him know Il. CDo not say this
is calf love. because I am old enough
to know differently
TWO ANXIOUS CHUAIS.
d) Occasionally this would be all
right.
CD Yes. However. you must not
feel hurt II he does not find it conven-
lent to go.
CD You might say: Dear Friend:
I have an invitation TO So-and-So's
party next Friday evening. l presume
you have been invited. too. If you
are going and have not already arrang-
ed TO take somebody. would you mind
stopping at my home and letting me
go with you? 1 would appreciate 1t
very much" You can only ask il as
a special favor. you see. presuming
that you have no escort for that par.
ticuIar affair.
a. Pretty we'll.
90 There is no particular harm in
holding hands, but holding hands is
apt TO lead to mushiness and mushi-
ness is-well, it's cot ladylike. is it?
And usually you are sorry for it after
ward, especially when you meet the
right man.
60 He is with you as much as pos
sible He doesn't care for other girls.
He tries to make you happy. Finally,
IL he really loves you, he says so and
asks you TO marry him.
90 Boys are not as bashful as girls
like TO think they are. II he cares Tor
you he'll manage TO let you know 1t
without your doing anything immod
est.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: You advised
girls to use cocoa butter TO increase
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-03-03

their bust. Should this butter be ap-
piled day and night and how often
changed? How long will it be before
YOU will find results, and is IL harm
less? EMMALlNE-
Cocoa butter is advised because 1t
makes a gentle massage easy and pre-
vents bruising. Also, IL is inexpensive
and harmless. Any cold cream VIII
achieve the same results. II is the
massage that helps. The result is not
very noticeable and il takes a long
time 20 see any difference. You can
accomplish more by deep breathing
and eating nourishing food.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a ] am a
young man "a years old. I am fair
looking and have good education.
l have been going with nice girl
for about three months. / like her
in all respects, only she wears awfully
low necks and her skirts hardly meas
ure much more than a yard around
the bottom
Now. Mrs. Thompson, can you tell
me of some nice way to let her know
I dislike it? If it continues, I'm afraid
I'll have to drop her, as my friends
ridicule me.
~ Is a girl of is too young to mar
~? think 81 about correct. ]. d. r.
am Yery glad that you have written
me this letter, because it tells girls
exactly what a decent young nan
thinks of the way some cir dress.
Girls have an idea that men admire
these very Iow-cut waists and the
tight skirts which show the shape.
The contrary is true. A man is dis
gusted and often passes up a really
nice girl just because she fails to
show coed taste in her dress. l per-
sonally know of a number of young
men who have stopped going with GER
tain girls because the girls appear
ance made them ridiculous.
% About the only thing a man can
do. if he likes such a girl, is to find an
occasion to ridicule some other girl
who dresses in like manner. If his
girl has ant sense she will tumble"
II she hasn't that much sense, better
drop her.
90 Yes; 81 is a better age for a
girl to marry than 10.

Our American silks are rs near per-
lection as possible both in texture and
design. Paris acknowledges this, and
some of the latest creations of Poiret
are being developed in the American
product. The designs, however, are
Poiret's own; there are stripes and
quaint figures, flower and animal motifs
more realistic than conventional and
for that reason unusually striking. The
color combinations are brilliant to a
degree, but artistically pleasing.
Number S2l3 is an attractive model
for a figured silk; here it is fashioned
of one of the new moired taffetas that
promise to be so popular the coming
season.
These silks are wide, averaging AZ
inches and range in price from $l.25 up.

FREAK SHIPS FOR ...
THE PANAMA CANAL

Freak ships for. the Panama trade
are said to be in course of construc-
ton for some Swedish shipowners
who expect thereby to cut down tolls.
Under the regulations compartments
of water ballast do not count in meas
urement, and in the new ships for car
rying iron ore from chile to Europe
these compartments are to be made
very large and deep. leaving just room
for the ore, which will ballast the Ia
den ship so that the water cempart-
ments can be left empty and they will
be as valuable for buoyancy as any part
of the interior space. AS result it
is estimated that these vessels, six or
eight of which are to be built, will
carry $4,000 tons and pay no higher
tolls than an ordinary ship carrying
5000 tons-Springfeld Republican.
