Most of my girl friends claim that
most of the men in service who have
been 'over there" have little or po re-
spect for really good, decent girl when
they return. Y
II have always had strong belief
in human nature, and especially have
l felt that boys who have been to
France and fought through this war
must be made better by the experience
II there was spark Of manhood and
goodness in them.

with any one returning from service.
so, of course, have no facts to back
up, my beliefs. But / am expecting
some one very soon, and would hate
to think that he had lost his respect
for girls because of what he had seen
in France.
I've been hanging on to my beliefs
with both hands all through the war,
but 1t is awfully hard sometimes to
keep a firm grip.
Since | expect that soldier boy back
soon, won't you please answer this as
soon as possible? Sincerely yours.

OSTRICH FEATHER CRAZE CONTINUES
Used as Trimming
On All Sorts Of
Feminine Apparel

The craze for ostrich trimming
continues without any sign CT abate-
ment. The charm OF these feathers
has reached far beyond fringe on hats
and evening dresses.
Short tips In three colors or In one
shade are tucked into the side
drapery OF evening gowns, and the
wide. graceful sleeves of afternoon
dresses frequently carry three rows
OF ostrich fringe. Parasols are trim
med with rows of this lovely trim
ming. Even bridesmaids carry muffs
of ostrich.
A novel use Of long. full ostrich
plume is shown on the gown of silver
gray charmeuse with shoulder straps
ant girdie of grayish green pearls
that look like the coloring of the aba
lone pearl. The bodice of this gown
is very simple and the skirt is draped
pannier to supply the proper back
ground for the long. gray ostrich
plume and the small feather tips that
are attached at the left side. Gray
ostrich fringe edges the narrow skirt.
A picturesque evening cape made
OF flesh pink meteor is collared in
pink ostrich. Two rows of these
lovely feathers describe graceful lines
over the shoulders. The border Of this
coat is embroidered in silver.

The sand Pile" AS opened II her
eyes and voice were apologetic, for
she knew how little time had in the
morning,
Dot girl from Durkee's she say she

Which one?" asked In quick dis

rejoined. while l drew breath of re-
lief. had no desire for an inter-
view with Rita Brown after the ex-
hibition OF coarseness and Ill breed
ing she had given us the evening
before. Besides. (absurdiy enough,
1t Is true) holly resented the fact
that she had made Dicky. figuratively
and literally, the target of her anger.
Dicly's behavior puzzled me. That
he had deliberately angered the girl
when he knew that she had taken
too much to be reasonable, ! was
sure. But he had given me no chance
to reprove him. or even to ask him
anything concerning his odd action.
