Easter Holiday Time Is
Clothes Buying Time
for Girls Home from
College and Board
ing School.
By Sarah AddinqfOn.

SRS !. WITHERBY BANTER and her
Nj four perfectly gowncd dsughters
filed into the Easter congregation at
st. Cccilis's, and every mother in the church
sighed from tho depths of her being. Mrs.
Mortimer Westinghouse, whose spindling
daughter roomcd next door TO fiftecn-ycar-old
CAROLYN Baxter at the seminary, looked Il
Carolvn's curves and ruf1os and curls. and her
billowing silk skirts and the saucy little hat
and groanod inwsrdly for Eugcn'ss angles
her baked potato complexion and her shapeloss
Schoolgirl" clothes. Mrs. Andrew Applcby
stared at Drusills Bakers perfectly ravishlng
hat and wondered bitterly what mlllner the
Raxters employed and why under the shining
sun she had induced her own daughter TO be
content with a mere black wide, fiat thing that
would be a trial TO even beautiful face Mrs.
William Wilson looked sadly at her own two
nondescript daughters. for even young Susan
Bsxtor. aged nine. seemed TO wear her skirts
with swaggcr and her ribbons with an air.
What was the secret? puzzled these moth
ors Of girls.
Later in the week they all met at the Hud-
son Country Club tea. 1t was spindling Eu-
genia's mothoi that mentioned first that she
hadn't had moment to buy the dear child any
new clothes but that of course schoolgirls
don't really need clothes. (She didn't add that
every stitch Eugenia had on was new-ordered
by telephone)
Il don't agree" nterposed Mrs. Baxter, the
mother Of four. Il tried that theory on Dru-
sills and she was perfect trump all through
boarding school, with the consequence that she
didn't know a basque from q smock when she
got 10 college and began buying things for her
self. Oh, do love my children; but isn't
spring vacation hideous period for the moth
or of four girls? We've been buying, buying,
buying
I'D love TO see the things you bought,
spoke up one little mother whose children were
all BOYS. and who therefore had no hard feel
ing against the Bakers
Come along" invited the large-hearted
Mrs. Baxter.
WED all love to- came the chorus Of four
other voices. So they all piled into one motor
car and went around the bend Of the road to
the Bakers country home.
"Drusilla is about 20 graduate, you know"
explained Mrs Baxter, leading the way TO
certain cherry and white boudoir. Therefore
We had to get graduating dress class day
dress. a Junior dance dress-all that sort Of
thing. Here's the graduation frock, point sp-
phque-dainty don't you Think
Dainty. 1t was luscious, that foamy, bill
lowing whiteness Of lace, with mere white
satin girdlo and dropped puff sleeves and
ribbon rosette now and then. The blouse wa
= loose, crossed fichu and the skirt was very
full with drapings at the hips-that was all.
But every woman present fully determined
that her daughter should have frock just OK
actly like it the next day, even If 1t weren't
her graduation time.

IF YOU WORRY, READ THIS

Worry never brought any good to
anybody. But, you say, Il don't wor-
ry because l want to, l worry because
have so much to worry about"
We all have our troubles and worry.
Of course, makes matters worse. The
patient generally recognizes this fact
without being Influenced in any way
by it.
The doctor who could meet this
nervous condition and cure it would
be the most popular medical man alive.
But he can not do it because the form
Of nervous exhaustion known as neur-
asthenia, of which worry is a charac-
teristic symptom, must be cured by the
patient himself. That is why you
should write today for the book dis
eases of the Nervous System and
read the chapter on "Neurasthenia "
So many people have read it and writ
ten back, This hits my case exactly,
