Her Rival Wears CurIs.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am q girl Of sixteen and 1 go
with q boy Of seventeen, who is
considered very pretty. also have
a girl friend who, 1 have noted, Is
paying strict attention to my boy.
Now, this annoys me. Miss Fairfax,
and wish your advice. She always
wears curls now, to attract this
boys attention, though before this
Ehe used to wear her hair up. She
Is not pretty at all. ANXIOUS.
1t is because you are so young,
no doubt, that l am obliged to re-
mind you that you make a mistake
in cultivating a sense Of possess
sion in regard to your boy friend.
And you are q foolish child to be
annoyed by your friends impulse
to curl her hair. It is quite legiti-
mate for her to try to increase her
attractiveness.

At my place OF business became

young man. He was very friendly.
He Ieft the office and we did not

Having beon led by certain
gianees from this young man, I
asked my OuiJa board the question,

However, a friend OF mine asked

Did He Mean ItF


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am in love with a young man
who is working for the same con-
Germ as I do. I have been out with
him once. and it is some time ago.
He said he could never love anyone
else. There is one girl who Is al
ways hanging around him. am
anxious to know II he meant 1t, for
1 love him dearly.
ANXIOUS LOVER.
Since the young man knows you
so little, and makes no effort to
see you, l am sorry to say that his
assurance Of love hardly has been
sincere. l hope you may recover
shortly from your feeling for him
and find other people and things
to interest you.

If C. BARRY will answer my
question about the planet ! viii solve
his problem for him. But to show
that my heart is in the right place,
here is the answer now. The only
thing is, that he is starting his prob
lem wrong.
It is, twice as many Of Us and one
half as many and one-quarter as
many and then include YOU (not

rived at as following:
You deduct the ONE man from
the hundred, which leaves SO. You

NORMAL NOTES
 MAY CALHOUN

. Judge Golden of San Francisco. ad- dressed the student body Monday af- ternoon in behalf of the drive which is to be held this week to raise money to help the Armenians. In his talk he gave many interesting facts con corning the history of these staunch believers of Christianity, and at pres ent there are 100000 starving Ar menians which we must aid in so far as we can. Arizona is asked to give $l50,000 and it is up to the people of Flagstaff to do their share. Tuesday morning at general assembly Presi- dent Cornelius distributed cards to be signed with the amount stipulated that each person felt he could give and the money will be collected this week.
 Three new students are enrolled in the Normal school for the last seme- ster. The Misses Chancy and Smith are returning to finish their school ing where they first enrolled as pro fessional students. With Miss Chan, cy came her cousin, Miss Rogers, who is also a professional senior. The Normal students have been anx- iously awaiting the arrival of the bas- ket ball team. As usual, our boys have kept the name of the school al the top of the ladder. The Flagstaff team played the Phoenix high schoo team last Friday and won by a score of 32 to 20. Saturday they played the Tempe Normal school and wor that game 50-36. They won the game with the University of Arizona by z score of 37-32, the first time in tho athletic history of the University that it has been defeated in basket ball b, High school or Normal school team It is understood that the team wa, partially comprised of the all-south west team of last year, and theil record is familiar to all athletic en thusiasts, consequently our boys de saSve double the praise they would or dinarily receive.

 Combinations of materials are we'll known, but the two-color scheme is something entirely new. Many dress es of dark blue serge are combined with serge of henna color and beige, and numerous other colors that blend well.

# < .S 1. Few Comic Valentines Now.
 Little Regret That Foolish and
 Vulgar Custom Has Been Pretty
 Thoroughly Abandoned.
 The comic valentine, which was painfully ugly and course, and which flourished very broadly at one time, has now almost entirely passed away, at least in its cruder forms. It used to be the greatest happiness of the school boys life to purchase very large assortment of these wretched comics and leave them on the front doorstep of his school teacher, male or female. Then when he had left a few comics on the steps of the vil- lage constable and paid his respects in similar fashion to the Sunday school superintendent, he felt that St. Valentines eve had been well spent. The joy of St. Valentines day has diminished greatly since the practice of throwing valentines on the door step, ringing the beel and running, gave place to the less exciting method of mail delivery. But in spite of up- to-date interference with the Valen- tine spirit, St. Valentines day will al- ways hold it's own. The most famous valentine verse ever written Is still being attached to homemade valen- tines in painfully neat, childish hand writing in various happy outlying dis tricts where boys and girls have real fun without spending much money for valentines or anything else. Roses are as red as ever and violets are still true blue in the joyous land of boy and girl love affairs, where reigns the good St. Valentine.

 Birthday Party.
 Miss Mary Boyer extended pret- ty hospitality Friday evening in the form of delightfully."- planned birth day party complimenting her sister, Miss Nettie. The affair was quite informal with the details attractively planned. Ferns and red carnations, artistically arranged in baskets and bowls, were used in generous quanti- ties in the living and dining rooms.
 Five hundred was played till late hour, each young lady fighting hard for the highest score, for well she knew to her would go the right to have first slice at the beautiful birth day cake that had been received that day from Jevne's in Los Angeles. At last the scores were counted and the honor fell to Miss Mildred Hornbein but sad to tell, she cut the thimble, Then Miss Rose Walsh had the chance to use the knife and behold! The ring appeared! And when Miss Net tie Boyer tried her skill at carving she cut the slice that held the shining coin. The guests were then invited into the dining room where a lovely birthday supper was served. The ta- ble was beautiful picture in red. A large basket of perfect red carnations graced the center of the table and dotted here and there were red can dles in silver holders.
 At Good Night" time, when the young ladies were wishing Miss Net tie "happy returns, they took time to wish that the months would speed. lily pass by when Miss Nettie would again have birthday and they would again be bidden to try their luck al cutting the birthday cake. Those en- toying this affair were the Misses Margaret and Rose Walsh, Minnie Lintz, Mildred Hornbein, Wilmyth Case, Blanche Stephens, Ruth Lati- mer, Gracia Saunders, Theresa White Mary Hanley, and the Misses Mary and Nettie Bower

places more than others. The good part may be utilized and combined with some entirely different color and different texture.
 Suits of GeOrgette.
 Perhaps the most delicate and at tractive creation that has been shown for southern wear is the coat suit de- veloped in Georgette crepe. For wear in town in the summer it will be ex- tensively seen. Beaded designs are usually on the coat and skirt, some times in wide bands. The beads may be of the same color or contrasting.

popular. The straight lines of the box coat are particularly favorable to the prevailing silhouette. Usually, the skirt of the box coat suit is quite narrow and buttoned down the back. This gives the coat the appearance of flaring just little, although it is really straight.
 One of the leading shops shows a model on these lines developed in dark blue serge with tiny brass buttons running along the edge of the coat, which is slightly cut away at the front opening. With this suit is worn a putty colored vest, embroidered in neutral yellow. The effect is start ling but attractive, and it is worthy of saying that it would give prestige and distinction to its wearer.
 Draped Skirts for Spring.
 The draped skirts are becoming more and more popular for spring and the designs are novel and original. The draped skirt offers huge latitude for originality, for the designer may ere ate all sorts of beautiful lines with the multitudinous folds of material. One of the illustrations here shows a simple version of the draped skirt having the material pleated at the sides.
