MRS ELTzABLrE TL5e~QSQN

Dear Mrs Thompson. We are in
terested readers and would like your
advice.
Ga Do sou think two people q
years old who have been keeping com
pany for five years really know wheth-
er they care for each other and can
tell if they will be happy together if
they marry?
t2t Do you think it proper for q
girl OF 10 to continue steady company
with q young man Of p whom she has
gone with for two years and doesn't
know whether she cares for him?
(3) Would it be proper for eight
boys and girls between the ages of
IS and % 10 80 to a lake for a weeks
outing unchaperoned2 If not. would
1t be better TO have a lady chaperone
or married couple?
BILLIE AND BURKE.
I'D When a boy and girl have gone
together for i've years they must be
pretty c0ngeniaL. I would advise
them, however. to wait At 81. you are
rather young TO know whether you
}
or two and if YOU are still in love you
may be reasonably sure that you viii
be happy together.
% a girl should never encourage
a boy to care for her when she does
not love him. Let two or three boys
come to see you. A wirI of 10 is too
young to keep steady company.
Greet and improper for boys and girls
to 60 for a weeks outing unchap-
eroned. It would be well to get the
mother and father of one of the girls
or boys to chaperon. The chaperon
should always be a person whose repu-
tation is good.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: About a
year ago I met young man on the
street whom I used to know when I
was little girl and I spoke to him,
but it seems that he has forgotten
me. I have met him on the street
since and when I go to town I have
TO pass the office where he works. II
seems I cant get him out of my
mind. The harder try the more
think Of him. Do you think I could
renew the old friendship after SO
many years? Should / speak first
or wait for him to speak?
GAG.
As long as you were old friends it
will be all right for you TO speak to
him again sometime when you pass
each other. II he speaks in a puzzled
way, say that you do not believe he
/ remembers you and tell him who you
are. You can do nothing more: fur
Their renewal Of friendship rests in
/ his hands.
/ Dear Mrs, Thompson: I have d
white embroidered hat made over a
I sailor shape and trimmed with black
velvet ribbon. VIII you please tell
me if it would be all right to wear
to church. And could it be worn
with anything but a white dress?
It can be worn with light dress.
and anywhere that light dress would
be worn (Which includes church,.

The Funny Printer

Let us all try to console ourselves
when our clients tear their hair over
some typographical error, that to
err is human-especlally to err
geographically. Some of the finest
jokes extant come through the fact
that the printers fingers slips. Here
are some which, like all others. are
funny a long, long time afterward-
never at the time
A Chicago paper, in reporting a
political meeting, said the vast audi
ence rent the air with their shouts.
Another Chicago paper reported
that the steamer Alaska was leaving
port with a cargo of forty thousand
bushels of cats.
A Buffalo paper in describing the
scene when Roosevelt took the oath
of Office as president, said it was a
spectacle never to be forgotten
when Roosevelt, before the chief
justice of the supreme court and a
few witnesses, took his simple bath.

Judge Hanger was spending a
sunny autumn week at Atlantic
City, and every morning on one of
the piers he used to see a young
lady whose face looked most famil-
lar.
The Judge prided himself on his
memory for names and faces, and
and yet somehow this young lady
escaped him. But he was sure he
knew her, and one morning, though
she always studiously avoided his
eye, he stopped and addressed her
with courtly politeness.

stances under which we met. Yet

 A pretty design for a nightgown of either batiste or wash silk is shown at the right of the picture Its new feature is the sleeve of elbow length terminating in a double ruffie of lace, gathered into a band of wide beading There Is a group of fine tucks at the front and the round neck is decorated with rows of dainty insertion and beading into which narrow satin rib bon is run
 The body and sleeves appear to be cut in one but are in reality set to- gether with a strip of lace insertion. And a second strip is let in the body of the gown following the curves made by joining the sleeves to the gown It is a simple and pretty model. Those who sew at home will find these bits of new lingerie easy to make

An experienced needle woman sug- gests list tvhich gives the various numbers of needles and cotton) to follow when sewing by hand. She advises a No. needle for 70 and so cotton. when hemming and tucking;
 a No. s needle for 50 and 60 cotton for plain sewing, overhauling and oyercasting; a No needle for 10 and 60 thread gathering When gathering or working buttonholes rub the thread over with piece of beeswax This will keep it from knot ting and also help 1t to resist strain.

IF the new spring styles in gowns \ are strictly of American design, there Is every reason 10 congratulate their creators. After a study of them one might be pardoned for quoting from the song which bids us heartily rejoice in the strength of our saliva tion and adding from foreignmade modes" thereto.
 The street costumes are cleyerly shaped, comfortable, and clean cut. Their tailoring is a thing of faultless beauty Skirts are short and just wide and faring enough for comfort in walking and for style. Jackets and coats are easy and smart improving the figure which wears them properly. One may have a choice as to length, as they are shown in both long and short models.
 Materials are durable, old fayorites being to the fore in the smartest garments. Decorations are few and elegant. buttons and straps and the introduction of outside pockets pro- vidng most of them But it is in amazing cleverness in cutting both skirts and coats that this season has distinguished itself above others,

 In the picture given here a street suit of swell shepherds plaid is shown Plaits at the sides of both front and back produce slightly far ing panels, the skirt being made up of four of these
 The jacket opens in a "V' at the front with revers terminating at the bus, line and an inlay Of velvet which is carried to the high turnover col lar
 A strap at each side of the back is finished with a simulated buttonhole and sci. with a lone button, to the narrow, shaped belt which defines the slightly nigh waist line The cuffs are odd with the sleeve turned back from a band of velvet and fastened down with a button. The front of the jacket is almost straight, and cut with a dip.

T HERE is such 8 diversity of styles offered in the realm of millinery that no one will be unable to find a hat 10 suit her face and her type For once the individual may set forth in quest of Easter headwear with the expectation of finding a real eXpres- sion in millinery of her own ideas of fitness and beauty
 It is to be hoped that the colorless personality will conceal that fact with a hat that will lend her tone For this is not a season of meager ideas. Hats are shapely they are iutricateN made, they are gay in themselves, bright with flowers and small fruit ribbons, and all sorts of odd and in- genious trimmings They seem all to be designed for women with ideas. They are full of feminine allure. and made for people who wear clothes i'm. stead of merely carrying them about
 Here are three, in a group which em braces the simpler designs in good eX- amples. There is the turban at the center, the pretty and picturesque ShephafdcSs shape at the leit, and the haring brimmed sailor at the right These are types to be found in every collection of new millinery, and they are rather more plain and less trimmed than the mode demands
 The small turban, of soft hemp braid. has plain crown set in of crepe Georgette. A crepe-coyered cord eN- tends about the coronet and a wreath of bright cherries set in their leaves hangs enticingly over the braid The body of the hat is a linen color
 The shepherdess shape shows the same continuation of braid brim and crepe crown. A band of velvet ribbon extends about the crown. with hang ing streamers tied in a long loop and

AS a substitute for the underpetti- n coat, to be worn for additional warmth or for freedom in walking. boomers of crepe de chine, or other wash silks prove acceptable 10 wom en. They are sensible and they are also dainty and attractive looking, a combination that spells success for them.
 What are called hike skirts for walking, made of fairly heavy suit ings, are made up with a plain pair of pants of the same material as the skirt, to be worn with them instead of a petticoat These skirts usually are open down the front and provided with buttons and buttonhoes which fasten them. When mountain climb ing is to be undertaken or a long tramp, this combination proves its merit.
 But for warm weather, the pants e suiting material are too heavy. Bloom CTS of silk, worn with the short full skirts that are fashionable. promise to dispace long underpetticoats with all skirts made of suitings
 Combinations of boomers or short pants and corset cover, made of crepe de chine, and lace trimmed. are worn In the same way as the bloomers and separate corset covers-that is, they replace the underpetticoat when the outside skirt is not too thin fabric
