An odd and interesting and
thought stimulating pair they are.

The answer was prompt. The wom-

offered suggestions All was going
merrily forward when they entered.
A square shouldered. muscular,
strong jawed woman in brown led
the way. Sneaking in her wake was
a slender girl in a black and white
checked suit, and one Of the soft
sheer blOuses that look like bleach

the fragrance Of the morning Of
life, save its joy. was upon her. But
the woman was speaking.

thump. l fancy she does everything
with a thump.
Can any one present give us
some salient facts about the work.
We would like to know how many
young men went TO the front. what
work they have done. how many
were killed in the discharge of duty.
My dear Miss Blank, can you tell

frock gives a girl many thrills OF
pleasure-and every one knows IL
does-she also derives a great deal
Of enjoyment from her sports cloth
es. Sports clothes, today, are wholly
charming Such bright. gay, col
ors as are used for them can only
reflect the spirit of JOY and eXuber-
ance which they embody. The en-
joyment of sports is really doubled
by them.
The skirts of sports dresses and
suits are worn very short. and the
models are either plain or pleated.
With bright-cOlored skirts are worn
slip-on middys Of wool or silk jer-
sey in a contrasting color. Hip
length coats Of angora and fancy
woods are also frequently seen. The
accepted trimming for winter sports
suits is either fur or leather.
Scotch plaids and checks in bright
colors are very much in evidence.
Some of the latest suits are dark
green with fine yellow lines forming
the checks others are in solid
block effects I'm golden brown and
black. and other pretty color COM
binations.

various social and outdoor activities
which enter into the lives of all
young people. we find an unlimited
variety OF styles.
At present there is distinct re-
lation between the styles for grown
ups and those reaching the grown
up stage. The slim silhouette. to
which women have taken with so
much zeal, is reflected in misses
styles, and certainly there is nothing
more betting the slender grace of
youthful figures than the modes
which now prevail.
The One-pieCe Dress Peculiarly
Adapted To Youth.
In One-piece style are the majority
OF dresses. whether they are to be
slipped on over the head or closed
at the center-frOnt or back. Espe-
cially becoming are those that hang
from deep. square yoke. and of
these there are many varieties, for
below the yoke the material may be
side pIeated. boX-pleated with
groups OF large or small pleats, or
just simply gathered. To define the
waistline, a leather belt, a regula-
ton cloth belt or a long. narrow
girdle is considered correct with this
type OF frOck. Tile belt being such
an important factor. then. il is not
surprising TO find many novelties in
that line. one Of the latest is a belt
which starts out by being wide in
front. but finally becomes divided in
10 narrow strips at the sides and
hack The upper halves fasten at
the back and the lower halves are
lSnotted loosely and hang down the
back. Exceedingly attractive. also.
are the pockets which give added
charm TO these dresses. Pointed
square. draped. gathered or plain
they appear in every conceivable
form.
Her Practical and Formal Dresses.
For practical wear. the young girl
wears dresses OF the popular woods
such as serge, gabardine. velours

have to take off your hat when you
meet your employer. Some lads are
obliged to take off their jackets. as
well as head coverings, when their
boss comes along.
And some Of your size have
mothers at home who make them
take off shoes and put on carpet
slippers for fear of scratching the
hardwood floors: and, worse. some
have mothers who make them go to
