THE SHY YOUTH
By Ellen Adair
What Is the Best Cure for BasI,fulness?

the just and the unjust, the fair and the
homely! The spectacle was a lamentable
one. And 1t Is open to doubt whether
ness, or not Certainly he never was at
ease.
So many remedies for the cure OF BASH
fulness have been suggested that one
hardly knows what to say on the subject
l remember once witnessing a scheme
which was of the "kill or cure" variety
1t was when l was at a boarding school
in England, and party was being given
One of the day-girls had a brother in
the army, of whom she was very proud
But although he was a brave soldier, he
was dreadfully shy However, she per-
suaded him into attending the party. 1T
will cure you of your bashfuness, John"
she declared optimistically.
But It didn't. For when the fated eve
ming came. and that unfortunate young
man entered the boarding school and duly
beheld the galaxy of fair femninty
lined up in wait for him, he gave one
asonized look around, and actually boted
from the scene! "1'd sooner face the Ger
man artillery than those rows OF gig
Cling little Flappers!" said he ungal-
lantly!
l think that the only cure for bash
fulness lies in conceit Have thorough
ly good concelt of yourself, o bashful
man, and you will soon be cured. For.
after all, the strongest and most invul-
nerable armor in the universe is the ar
NOR of pride and vanity. 1t brings with
1t self-assurance unrivaled and un-
quenchable.

THE shops are always showing novel;
j ties, and fashions are ever changing,
but the real formal evening gown has
given its place to the afternoon frock for
informal wear. White net, crepe de
chine, corduroy, taffeta and Georgette
crepe is used, as well as colors, which
are greatly in the minority. Natural col
ored pongee Is another favorite. The
styles show great dissimilarity: except
for flarng skirts. and jacket effects on
the blouses there is no set model.
White net Is one of the most fashion
able materials for afternoon wear, and
it Is astonishing the number of pretty
frocks in this style which you can buy
for sis. One Chestnut street shop is show
ing lovely gowns, suitable for commence
ment, at this price. These have short

everywhere, Whatever shall we do?"

whose name was Twisted Stem. lets
go and ask Billy Robin who 1t is. He
knows a lot more about this place than
we do, and I'm sure he will gladly tell
u.s. He said he was our friend"
All the fairies thought that a splendid
plan and they dispatched Green Leaf to
find Billy Robin and ask him who the
strange caller could be.
Green Leaf hurried down the tree
trunk, and over to where Billy Robin
usually played. "Oh, Billy Robin" he
shouted, and he was so excited he could
not even walt to get to Billy, "who Is
that person calling to us all the timer
Don't you know him?" asked Billy.
mo, we don't replied Green Leaf.
"and We want to, so we can tell him
who we are!'
why, that's old man OWL" replied
Billy, he's the wisest creature round
this garden! Here, hop on my back and
I'll take you to see him." So Green
Leaf rode on Billys back and called on
old man Owl. and told him who his
new neighbors were. Then old man Owl
could stop his talking and go to sleep.

The trees the vines. the flowers, are astir
With tender desire.
The white moths tiutter about the lamp
Enamored with light.

A song to the night.
But l am alone, and how can I sing
Praises to thee?
Come, Night. unveil the beautiful soul
That waiteth for me.
