Milton and Dora started off arm in

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a soldier 21 years OF age,
and for six months 7 have been
corresponding with a girl Of my
acquaintance. who Is 16. Her fam
lily is very much admired BY my
people She says she loves me and
wants me to continue writing TO
her I love this girl and asked
her II she would marry me when
the war is over. and come home.
However, she told me to wait TIL
am home. and then she would
tell me all about it Did I DO
wrong in asking her this and
should this girl made a definite
reply? Troubled c.
You did not do wrong In asking her
10 marty you-no man is wrong when
he asks the girl he loves to marry
hlm-and she did no wrong in telling
you TO wait until the war Is over
You know men and women, too, are
some times tickle. Probably one OF
the other Of you will change, prob
ably both. before the war Is over. and
1t would be better for you not to be
married II you really love each
other, the love will continue. She Is
right.

THERE is a vivid shade Of mahogany
L which is popular this winter. It
is the exact color Of light mahogany
wood. really not unlike the burnt
onion" color Of a few years back. The
warm depths OF mahogany combine
particularly well with navy blue This
coat dress OF blue tricotine, by the
arrangement OF its stole collar. has a
chance to display to perfection a vest
of mahogany cloth, finely embroid-
cred in outlines Of black. The belt Of
blue begins at the side as you observe.
II the box coat is not becoming to
your figure, the belt may be carried
across the front and the waist line
held in a trifle. The belt should then
fasten in front with a small gilt
buckle. A strap OF mahogAny cloth is
used across the sleeve. This strap is
outlined in black and ends in a gilt
