Dean Lois Kimball Matthews, presi-
dent of the National Association OF
Collegiate Alumnae and dean of wO
men at the University of Wisconsin,
was the guest Of honor Saturday aft
ernoon at the December meeting of
the Illinois-Iowa branch of the n. A.
c. A., held in the home Of the coun-
cilor, Mrs T. B. Davis, COS Twenty
sixth street Mrs Matthews was en-
Enthusiastically received by IS members
who had gathered TO hear her.
In her opening words she diyerged
for a few moments TO speak on pa
tri0tic education, dwelling particular
ly on the meeting of the Illinois State
Collegiate Alumnae which is to be
held in Chicago Dec Is, when the sub
iect will be patriotic Education.
Mrs Matthews urged strongly that
members of the Iowa-Iliinois branch
and all college women attend that
meeting.
The topic of Saturday afternoon was
that Of Americanizing the foreigners.
The speaker told of womans oppor-
tunities, due TO the war, and dwelt es-
pecially on the field that has never
before been touched, that of Ameri-
canizing the foreigner within Ameri-
cas- shores. She cited instances that
for an Americanized American are un-
believable The speaker was positive
in her statement that Americans OF
eight or ten generations back are deal
ing in an arrogant way with the new
Americans, If the American is true
to his ideals it is his privilege to teach
the newcomers American ideals-it
rests with each one to take up thai
work.
A delightful hour of sociability fol.
lowed the talk, when the members
chatted and enjoyed the refreshments
which were served. The next meeting
of the association will be luncheon
at | o'clock at the Rock Island clui
on Jan. 5. and the afternoons topic will

that he loves ner This girl knows.
he is engaged. The question is, can
he love both of them? Or is he fool
ing with both? Or does he just imag
inc he is in love? The way he acts
would indicate that he did love the
girl OF his home town. but on the
other hand he might act the same to
the girl be is engaged to.
% Is it proper to kiss fellow who
is engaged TO another girl? Also
should a serious talk on the subject
occur?
% If q girl paints what do the boys
think? ISABELLE.
III The boy is probably young and
unsettled-he doesn't knox whom he
loves or what he wants He should not
tell two girls that he loves them. /
would not condemn him for il. because
it is a youthful trait to be impatient
and indiscreet and not consider the Ill
innate end. He probably thinks that
he loves the girl he is with. The old
saying, Proximity is akin to love"
would apply in his case.
% 1t is not proper TO kiss boy
who is engaged. But it is all right
10 have a serious talk-in fact a SER
I iCus talk about the matter would be a
good thing.
/ 81 When a girl paints she frankly
admits that she has lost confidence in
/ her own beauty-she shows a lack of
setf-respect, There is a class Of women
who like to consider themselves Bo-
hemian usually they paint a little
some drink little, and all say they
don't care what people think about
what they do When a girl paints boys
usually think that they have entered
this class and they expect them tt
have the loose morals that are indica-
tive OF the Bohemian class.

and don't care to see him. Such per-
son IS not worth knowing and the
quicker you drop him the better it will
be. Unless you should happen to know
you could make him better you should

Dear Mrs. Thompson: O. At night,
when massaging the face with cold
cream, should the cream be wiped off

should it be left on the face all night?

GRATEFUL.

the skin greasy-the cream vanishes
