Fashion dictates two types of eve.
ming frocks. This one, described in
today's fashion talk is for youth

D"'tS uSHtoH uHt ny tOfeHCe isOSe
THEItE are two very distinct types OF
l. evening gowns being shown for the
advance spring season. or the southern
season, If you prefer. This really does
sound better, when we are about 10 face
the coolest part of the winter. Al
rate, the fact remains that the designers
are giving us two very different styles in
evening attire. There is the style that
might be called youthful, though, to be
sure. it is more often worn by the older
women. This type usually shows a full
ness of some sort about the hips, either
the puffy drappery, the peg or the short
tunic the bodice snug and nearly al
ways sleeveless. The materials chosen
are satin, tulle or lace.
The other style shows long, graceful
lines, and is FAR more mature in its APP
pearance. The bodice also is snug and
the entire has a tendency TO
show the silhouette of the figure. This
style is nearly always trained, which has
the effect of slcndering the figure. The
drape, foy there is nearly always one,
is In the form Of a loop at the right
side hUS forming a peg. The skirt is
very small about tho feet, with an open
inC at the left side or at the back to
facilitate walking, Fol this type Of
evening gown the materials are either
velvet or metallic brocadc. AS these
materials are very handsome there is
very little trimming used.
OF the two styles, | personally prefer
the last mentioned though the other is
more frequently seen. Therefore, | am
giving one of the newest of these youth
full frocIs that | LAY seen. This dress
is of satin with quite Il full skirt. The
color is a pale shade of blue. The bodice
is of silver lace and Is sleeveless. Bands
of blue velvet ribbon form the shoulder
straps, extending down over the skirt,
thus serving to cut the line OF the fun
skirt.

Poor Soldier Boy.

Dear Cynthia have known a young

in the army for about seven years. He
wrote me n letter, stating that he would
he here on Christmas, but he came on
New Years. As | did not know he would
come then on his furlough, | made an
engagement with one of my friends for
that day When he came New Years
Day he happened to find me home, but
was busy, so ] did not have much time
to ak to him. Then he wanted to make
an engagement with me for the evening,
hut was not able to, for ! had made
another appointment with my friends,
but ! told him | was very sorry that
had made another appointment for the
evening and | asked him to call in the
afternoon. which he agreed to do.
That afternoon he did not call to see
me, SO on the following day ! called hin
up and they answered me that he was
not home. care for this young man
and / know he cares for me, for he told
me so many times. and still he did not
show UP. So please tell mo what to do.

The boy is evidently put out, although
no shouldn't have made ~ engagement

YOU two have been good friends and
he probably thought YOU could have
broken at least one of these enGaEc-
mcnts, with friends whom you could soc
any time, for him, as long as his time
included this soldier in our evenings

got a rather poor welcome home from
the girl whO cared for him. Why not

YOU are that FOUR time was So taken
