More About Vamps

Dear Cynthia-You know l have ar
guments and I'd love to be in this
one about vamps.
You see, BLACK Eyes" there are
vampires, vamps and vamp!ings. 1t
takes too long to tell about all three.
hut vampires are the wicked, cruel
things who talk naughty and strut
streets, an everything. They used to
be spotted by the paint they Wore but
since really nice girls have taken 10
the Japanese custom Of wearing paint,
more after a fashion than after cas-"
of necessity, it's hard to choose.
So, whatever name you call yourself
whether it's vampire or otherwise
doesn't count a fig or prune as far as
the word itself is concerned. It's your
own personal charm that attracts the
fellows. It's your ginger. your snap.
YOUR sympathy. l"Lawdy' what
lot of "sympathy stuff" vampires can
get away with y
Don't think the fellows mean and
stingy. They have that antagonistic
feeling. You believe them punk
and your actions show it. Your atti-
tude shows your disapproval of them.
What's the poor man to do? Don t
you suppose he feels just as strange
toward you as YOU do toward him
He's a human being like yourself and
he has faults like yourself. Why not
excuse him, as you do yourself?
When you do anything wrong you
say there's reason for it and you
give yourself another chance. Why
don t you give this to the fellows?
Listen, the girls are as much to
blame as the fellows. Why do they
turn down a dance partner for nc
reason. and give him no reason, and moi
promise him next" dance? Why dc
girls pair off and dance with themselves
and then blame the fellows for doing the
same?
Why does a girl make it so hare
for a fellow to treat her to five cent
soda, and act as if she expected o
twenty five cent treat?
or course there is a species of silly
fellows who moon over vampires, bu
\ that's another long story.
Remember this; it isn't the regular

Shall He Attend Wedding?

Dear Cynthia-Your kind advice on
the following subjects will be much
appreciated. A young lady to whom
was virtually engaged is about to
be married to another fellow. l was
always very much liked by her par
ents. and they still seem to have the
same feeling toward me. l am on
friendly terms with the young lady in
question as well us her relations. and
have good reasons to believe that |
will be invited to her wedding. As a
number of our old mutual friends will
be there. would it be advisable to at
tend under the circumstances, j would
not care to cause her, or myself, any
unnecessary embarrassment. l am con-
sidered much more favorably by her
friends and relatives.

to stay away.

CEVERAL girls who are in an Of
Nice together frequently find that
they are unable to leave promptly
on the luncheon hour and that the
late luncheon is frequently very dis
appointing. They have dubbed to-
eether for a cooperative luncheon
and they prepare the lunch in the
Office.
The food selected for this purpose
will depend entirely upon the degree
Of activity which the position neces-
states. The persons whose duties
make a strong demand upon their
strength will require substantial
nourishing luncheon; while those
whose position is sedentary will re-
quire a light, attractive food that is
easily digested; this should include
brown bread, green salads and
plenty of fruits.
To quickly prepare these lunch
cons, it is necessary to keep
weekly supply of staples that can
be used in the lunch during the en-
tire week. This may include one bot
tie Of salad dressing, one bottle of
olives, one bottle of pickles, one can
Of salmon, one can of shrimp, potted
meats, shelled nuts, cheese and
Jelly, one salt and one pepper
shaker, one dozen papers of picnic
plates, one package of paper nap
kins, cups and saucers.
A portion of the closet or drawer
Of desk will provide ample space
for storing these things. A small
electric stove will heat the water for
tea and cocoa. If there is lunch
or restroom in the building, soup
and other hot dishes may be quickly
prepared.
You may bring rice or bread pud-
ding from home, packing it in either
i fruit jar or jelly glass; cup GUS
tards, baked beans and various
salads will all help provide variety.
Paper plates, cups and napkins
eliminate entirely the task of wash
ing up.

4 Daily Fashion Talk BY Florence Rose
TNhERE have been many complaints
l. voiced by those who have recently
returned from Paris. where they went
to gain ideas to use in the costumes for
the American women. One most fire.
quently heard of these comments, has
been materials used by these designers.
which most of those who viewed the
models claim to be utterly unfit for the
American woman at this time of the
year, at least. Heavy woolen ma aterials
were made up into daytime dresses and
suits and for afternoon and evening,
sa tins. For evening. however. a very
weighty metallic brocade was the most
frequently used. This metallic brocade
is somewhat different from the brocade
we have been using. inasmuch as the
surface is not smooth, but is instead
rather rough and the designs huge.
1t does seem quite problem to en-
deaVor to adapt the designs used for
the type of evening gown that mate
rial of this sort requires to materials
such as the women here demand for
their summerseVening dresses; for while
the women on this side of the water
like to dress and look as attractive as
possible, at the same time they insist
upon being comfortable. Certainly this
sort of material does not have the ap.
pearance OF comfort-that Is, not fol
hot summer evening.
These evening gowns may not be
| practical for the women, but they are
nevertheless, regal and very elegant t
| look upon. Possibly the style may b,
! preserved and held over for the fal
| season. so that the women can enjo.
| their beauty TO the utmost.
