The idea was good one. and II
opened the way for other things. 1t

"But haven't any talent. ." she pro
tested.
"Nonscnsc. You have as much as !

Ruth was already visualiaing herself
in picturesque blue smock with awis-

Frances was about to iuterrup her

A fTER Ruth had had time TO catch
Il up with all tho little things that
she had hccn forced to neglect while
sh" was in mn office things began TO
pail again. Tho first few days at home
had been heavenly. There had been
tho awakening first. and tho impulse
to struggle out of bed in order to be
ready in time. Now she could snugglc
back for that last nap which is always
tho sweetest. and Scott was nearly
always in tho tub before she got up
these mornings. Then there had been
tn" delight Of changing all the furniture
around, so that the rooms looked on
tircly different. and finally the getting
of hcr clothes in order so that she could
jump into anything at Il moments no
ticc without stopping to conjecture as
to whether or not hook and eye
or button wcrc missing.
Of course. tho wedding and tho prep
arations had filled many hours. too. bur
after that was over, Ruth discovered
one morning that at 30 everything
was neat and orderly about tho house.
and she was bored and wondering what

And then over a cup of tea the two
girls exchanged more condolences. Each
was curious about the other Ruth had
always liked Frances at college: there
had been certain frankncss about her
that was charming. and that she still
seemed t" have. Ruth observed her
closely. and noted that. although she
was well dressed. she did not have that

Dear Cynthia have been amused.

that the diversified contributory letters

to see any letter which gives credit to
both the girl and the fellow. They
seem to cxemplify their ideal and fail

\ Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
WHEN on" speaks of separate skirts
w these days it is not. as n rule. that
at first one thinks of the plain two
piece affair There are, Of course.
plenty of the old two piece ones worn.
but usually these are combined with the
peplum blouse. or, to speak in the words
Of the spring fashions. the "Ca>auue.
And next week ! will give you illus
trations of the newest 'Casaquc'
blouse. which are to be worn over th"
plainest Of plain skirts.
1t is, however. the modcrniZed sep.
aratc skirt upon which we will dwell
today. These skirts are made in a
variety of materials. but for summer
wear the tricolettc. taffeta. sports satin
and even geOrgette are the materials
most used for their construction. II
i not infroQncnt that two OF the ma
terialS mentioned arc used in one skirt.
The tunic overskirt in one Of its forms
is likely to appear as part of this
years separate skirt. or. If otherwise
plain. the skirt is shaped in from tn"
knees to the lower part and adorned
with some sort of trimming. also from
the knees down. with either rows of
braid. landings of silk. or the tiny
fringe. OF these trimmings the stubby
fringe is by far the most popular. This
same style of trimming is considered
very smart for the chemiSe dresses.
Have you heard of jadcgrcon: This
is at present one of the most sought
after cOlorS. This color is used for
entire costume and again is combined
with cornhowcr blue. These two colorS
together are unusually lovely. The
sketch today is of separate skirt made
of iadegreen tricolette. combined with
geOrgcttc of the same shade. The lower
part of the skirt is of the trcolette.
and as il is the tricolette in the fancy
weave it carries out the effect of being
trimmed below the knees. The upper
part of the skirt is of the gcorgcttc.
Two panels of the tricolette hang over
the georgrttc ut the sides and are orna
mentcd with pockets
The blouse worn with this skirt is
also of the geOrgette and carries out -
nicely the idea of frock.
The hat is of natural cOlOrpd loghorn
and is trimmed with ribbon of jade
green and cluster of pink roses tied
in with the bow of ribbon.

same of me. as he showed it in diff
ferent ways. But this happiness did
not last long. as he left for France. not
even saying good by or writing me let

Now he is corresponding with friend
of his. so do YOU think it would be
proper to get the address and write 10
him? I do not want to let this party
know that ! am writing. How could
| get it otherwise?
Thanking you in advance for an carly
answer. ONE IN LOVE.
The only way to get the address would
be to ask some one who knows it. You
might say you thought perhaps he would

him one nice friendly letter. If he re-

Dear Madam am a girl eighteen
year old, and am pretty well built with
the exception of my legs, which are
very thin. In fact. | am ashamed to
wear slippers on account of them.
would like to know if there is not some
way by which this can be remedied.
Also, do you think walking great
deal would make them thinner or
stouter. NJ. ii. NJ.
You can improve the shape of your
legs if you will exercise every day.
Stand with your shoulders straight and
rise up on your toes, and down again,
without changing the position. This
sounds easy bnt after you have done it
a number of tines you will realize that
it has its effect. Do not make the mis-
take of doing it too often at one time,
as soon as the muscle in the calf of your
leg, which is the one that will be eXer-
rised, begins to ache, stop the exercise,
and do it just that many times the next
night. This will develop The muscles of
your legs and make them fill out.
Walking will also help to develop them.
but you must go at it regularly and
