POOR GIRLS DARK
DAYS WILL BRIGHTEN
Dear MISS Libbey::.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
I am a girl of between Is and 16, e1d-
est in the family. 1t seems my mother
does not love me as she does my sis
tiers and brothers. She is pleased only
if T come home at the end of the week
with my pay and hand it all to her
not taking "a cent out. If without
work and at home she frightens me;
sends me out in all kipds of weather
in search for employment. Many times
she wishes I were not in the way.
Am depressed. Please advise soon
what to do. Your reader.
A. E. S.
Poor little girl, try vo11r best to- see
the silver lining to your dark clouds
You must keep up heart and cheer,
and happier days surely will come co
you. Have faith. Trust in God,

Demure Yet Exceedingly Smart.

This spring tai1or-rnade is in a style
that is both dainty and denure. Navy
gabardine is used for its develop
and the high collar is faced with gray
silk. The blouse jacket may, be made
without a lining, if desired and is
therefore suitable design for tub as
well as non-tubbab1e materials. If the
'funner" collar is not desired, how
ever, the neck may be finished In open
effect with military collar. The long
one-piece sleeves with pointed lower
edge are faced with silk and trimmed!
with buttons. Added grace is given
to the lines of the jacket by the at
tached circular peplun with a seam at
the sides. The blouse may be closed
either at the center-front or left side
front, or on the Iefe shoulder and
under the arm.
In medium size the entire costume
requires yards 44-inch material. If
a shorter peplum is used, about Il
yard less material will be required.
The home dressmaker should not at
tempt to cut the blouse without first
carefully studying the cutting guide.
From this it will be noted that the back
OF the blouse and the back peplurn sec
ton are laid on lengthwise fold of
material. To the right of the back
pep1un section comes the front, then,
still keeping to the right, are placed
the collar and sleeve, all on a length
wise thread of material.
The front and the collar are also ar
ranged on a 1engthwise thread, while
the stay is cut from the strip that re-
mains along the selvage edge between
the front and the front peplurn section,
Just above the collar.
Finish the belt with[a button or
braid ornament and the result will be
an exceedingly attractive costume. In
velveteen or knit material the suit is
ideal for sports wear.

cided to permit the employment of
six additional nurses. This viii per-
NIT the assignment of two nurses to

particular attention to the fight
against the great white plague, the
board decided to allow the employ
ment of six more nurses.
The meeting yesterday morning
was short one, but many matters
received attention. One of the most
important matters, especially in this
section of the state, was the action
allowing free examination of milk at
the various state laboratories.
The board also decided to give free
Wasserman examinations to all car
ing for such. A sanitary engineer

the health board forces.

vat at Jacksonville, where all cattle

in Florida since early in December,
inspecting the work of the state
board, made an informal report Of
his survey, in which he commended
the board highly on the work done,
offered suggestions and outlined the
campaign for the future.
