Asking Advice
and Taking 1t
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Again and again unhappy and
lonely girls write to tell me of their
unpopularity with boys because of
their insistence on holding to their
own standards OF dignity. Nothing
| can say to these girls is so likely
to convince them OF their b1under
as two letters | am today quoting.
Both these letters came in comment
on reply | made to girl who was
very unhappy because she could find
no men who would respect digni-
fled girl and who would show any
desire for her society once they were
sure they could not kiss her.
OF course the right sort of a man
does not feel this way, and | am going
to quote two OF many letters | haye
received in order that the girls may
see for themselves.
THE inclosed clipping describes
just the sort of girl that the under
signed would feel honored to know.
1T has been my experience to
meet many girls. Very few have
shown the least disposition to respect
their word in simple appointments,
and so | have become skeptical about
placing any confidence in assurances
they may give me. And yet word
suggesting that they were, not self
respecting would be readily resented,
Do girls think OF this side OF it when
they complain that men don't respect
them? - tG
Il respect principles in any girl
who is sincere in her endeavors to
live lip TO them And | think girl
ought to regard keeping her word
just as important as demanding re-
spect for her dignity, | raise my hat
to any girl who is really self-respect-
ing, JOHN A. D."
Girls, ! suggest that you think
about this letter little bit Are YOU
honest and ION the Ievel?" Do you
respect friendship and likings Or are
you unreliable coquettes who whimper
when you are taken at your own
valuation and are annoyed with love-
making you may have invited?
Now for a second letter:
1T has been and still is the dream
Of my life to meet girl who is sweet
and dignified and wants respect.
/ have no personal experience Of
women and their ways, but my work
brings me into contact with all
classes OF men, and from what have
heard about girls was beginning to
despair OF ever finding one who was
not willing to be kissed and made
love to by all and sundry.
y feel so lonely at times that |
am quite desperate-but can't take
time from my work to bother about
girls who are not high prineipled
and worth while"
And there. girls, is the verdict Of
two OF my boys. There we're dozens
Of other letters of the same tone.
II you are unfortunate enough to
know the wrong sort of young men,
hold yourself aloos from them and
wait until you meet the right sort.
You will meet fine man some day
and then you will suffer bitterly #
you have not kept your affections
worthy of him.

The glaring beach is no respecter
of persons and it is the wise woman
who chooses her bathing suit with
even greater care than her ball gown.
Though there is much talk Of comfort
first in all. sport clothes, the clever
designer knows that unless comfort
is combined with style it passes un-
noticed.
There is no dearth of imagination
in dresses for the sea, and in the
last few seasons, says writer in
Good Housekeeping, they, in common
with all sport clothes, Combine audac-
ity and attractiveness to great de-
gree. The models to be found are
far prettier, more attractive in line
and better in color and materials than
ever before. Garisfness has fallen
away and in its place there may be
found suits of good materials in sim
pie lines and at moderate prices.
The Buster Brown type, with its
slim long waist and comfortably full
skirt, rivals the more usual model with
the fitted waist line. Both are being
worn extensively this season, the
choice depending upon what is be-
coming not only in color, but in line.
1t may be the slim one-piece affair,
or ruffled or corded short skirt, which
considers it no indiscretion to show
the ruffle or band of the bloomers be-
meath its edge.
The conservative blacks and navy
blues are those generally worn, but
they may be replaced by deep pur-
Piles or dark greens, not bright, glar-
ing colors, but the dark tones of
these ,colors, with perhaps a cap of
vivid shade. A number of suits of
these rich, dark colors were noticed
last season at Bailey's Beach, New
port, and will undoubtedly be found
there and elsewhere this year.
Colors run riot in caps and may
be as gay as they please. Greens,
puppies, rose or orange. if--and the
if is big one-the wearer's COM

are the favorite trimming for dark
suits, and as a rule the smartest.
Green and navy blue are another good
combination and purple and tan still
another.
Satin and taffeta are the two ia
vorite materials, with worsted gaining
steadily in popularity, for the attract
i've swimming suits. A good model
of this sort is of black wool jersey
with the boomers attached to the
waist and the arm holes and sash
of rose or white mercerized silk.

meat leaves the bones; skim off the
grease from the liquid and mince the
meat finely: oil plain mould, press
the meat into it, pressing it down
tightly. When cold turn out on a
chop dish and serve with cucumber
slices; garnish with parsley and lemon
quarters. This dish is little tedious
to prepare, but will amply repay one
with its appetizing delicacy.
