Miss Ethel Arnold. the be-
witching young thing who has set
all Tacoma to humming her new
songs, wears one OF the new Gre

the slightest idea why It has such
a funny name.
Miss Arnold is featured on this

which was designed by Mrs. Yer
non Castle, 10 the first one OF its
kind to come west. II has a CIR
die at the bust, no waist-line. and
the gown flares out In most be-
wildering display Of filmy, dainty
material. There's about four
times as much cloth In the
watch Your-Step" gown than
there was in the gowns of last
years styles.
Its simply called a Watch
Your-Step" dress because IL was
worn in the play of that name, |

you certainly don't have to
watch your step when you wear
one. You have unlimited free
dom for limb movement; you
don't have to worry about climb
ing on street cars, and there's
mo danger of tripping over your
self when you are walking In q

Q.-Recently, l met a girl
who made a very marked
impression ON me. Contrary
to most cases where young
lady strongly attracts a young
man, this girl is not beau
tiful. She is sensible, intel
ligent, refined and an alto
gether wholesome girl. In
the present day of shallow
and frivolous girls, this class
of girl is rare, and 1t does
ones heart good to meet q
girl of this type.
have not been with her a
great many times, but enough
to make me want to cult
vate an acquaintance, and I
know 1t would please me
very much If our friendship
would some day develop into
a deeper feeling.
There is only. one objec-
tion-if It be an objection
the girl Is three years and
three months my senior; she
is %. l see no reason why
this difference in age should
be considered an objection,
but would like to know
whether you consider It one
and your reasons.

girl at this time is Invaluable n,
