Please Tell Me
What to DO
by CYNTHIA
Let U. Hope She Sees II, Dan

Let us Hope She Sees Il, Dan
Dear Cynthia--Trus I have neglected
your column rather shamefully, but
have been moved time and again so
didn't have the opportunity for an ear
lier message. do not know how the
topics have been running lately. This
being the case, will let loose some OF
my pent-up feelings that have been ac-
cumulating during the last week. In
view OF my former attempts at poetry,
We shall call this spasm in blank verse
Il change from the ridiculous to the sub
lime and shall entitle It
TO HER WHO HAS FORGOTTEN
O fair maiden-I pray to the gods
Lest they, in their anger, chastise thee
For thou hast committed the unpar-
donable sin.
Surely thou. dost remember ere we
parted
The solemn vow committed in the silence
of that autumn moon.
We sealed our bond with a heavenly
kiss
And thou hast committed the unpar-
donable sin.
Our sacred vow, to be true TO each
other,
Thou hast trampled on and ground be-
meath thy heel,
That beautiful vow I held to be ever
lasting
When thou, wandered forth into the un
pardonable sin.
O that sin-that sin of forgetting
To write that daily missive of cheer
to him who waits
For that is the objectionable sin.
Well, Cynthia, will let you heal
from me again. With best regards tC
the Live Wires and all snappy organi'
cations. DAN B.

here am doing the same thing. Thi
girls life Is being made miserable in
deed, and she has as much as told her
parents that she will not be responsible
for what happens IL they insist on
wrecking her life for her. Girls mar
rying men ten and twelve years older
than themselves is no uncommon oc-
currence. and man thirty FIVE mar.
rying girl twenty -one or twenty two
has often proved the best of mar
ringe. In fact. it is the best time for
the man above all other times. A man
from thirty to forty years Of age is
Just in the prime of manhood. Now,
Cynthia, don't you think this girls
parents are pursuing course Of but
ting in where they have no right to
butt in? Here we have another ex-
ample where parents ofttimes wreck
their children's lives forever. What
would you advise?
WORRIED.
Cynthia cannot presume to say that
the parents are unduly interfering, since
she only knows one side of the case,
but the number of years do not seem
to be too great. OF course. five or six
years difference is generally consid
cred better than twelve or thirteen.
However, there have been a number of
happy marriages where the difference
has been greater. IL you really love
each other and you can support her,
aud can give her parents satisfactory
account of your position and ante
cedents, there should be no. objection to
the match.
Why Not Leave II Alone7
Dear Cynthia-I have written to your
column before and derived great bene,,
fit from your honest, straightforward
answer and am now taking the liberty
Of writing you again.
Now as to the doll question-why not
leave it alone? am a young girl and
am not Il doll. neither am ] an old
timer. 1t takes all kinds Of people to
make world, and If fellow likes to
run around with doll. who ran blame
him? Variety is the spice Of life, and
then who can blame him for marrying
girl who has self-respect and who
does not scatter her kisses and caresses
like feathers in strong wind?
The path of good woman is indeed
strewn with flowers, but they rise be-
! bind her steps, not before them; so.
! girls. whatever you do always keep your
| illusions and your dreams, for some day
Prince Charming will come riding on
his snow white steed and then you will
be glad that you kept yourself pure
and without stain.
| CONSTANCY and FIDELITY.
That's right, my FRIEND why not
leave it alone?

Washing Baby Clothes

TO the Editor Of Wonlan's Page:
Dear Madam have been working
for some time on very fine nainsook and
flannel baby garments which have be-
come rather soiled in the making. !
do not want to launder them and would
be very grateful if you could tell me
something | could sponge them off
with after pressing to make them look
quite fresh again. Also could you tell
me something l could clean beaded In
dian moccasins with?
MRS. c.
If the garments have become soiled
pponging will not freshen them suits
factorily. They will need regular
washing in soap chips. Use pure white
soap for this. and lukewarm water.
Do fnot wiring the clothes dry, but
squeeze them to get the water out.
Starch with bOrax water or gum ara
bic, and press when just slightly damp.
The flannel garments, of course, should
not be starched, and should be washed
and rinsed entirely in almost cold wa
ter. If the clothes are not soilcd, Just
mussed. spOnging with bOrax water be-
fore pressing will freshen them enough.
Remove stains or grease spots from
the moccasins by rubbing with French
chalk or magnesia. Unless you are sure
thai lukewarm water and CASTLE SOAP
shavings will not iniure the beads or
the chamois. it would be better to clean
the whole shoe with the dry cleaner.

embroidery In self color, and the
girdle ties In bow at the back
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
TNHE woman OF my acquaintance who
l. is hit hardest by the increased price
of everything in general and clothes In
particular is college professor wiie.
His salary hasn't been increased one
cent during the last ten years. although
he has been promoted in rank and mas
assumed added responsibilities. And his
wife has to 20 to teas and dinners and
play the social act generally. She
spends rather less now on her clothes
than she did because they have to pay
more house rent and eggs have gone
UP and so has milk and butter, etc,
etc. etc, ad nauseHm.
THE other day she told me that she
could afford to buy just one garment
from now till summer, and asked what
it should be. And ! thereupon started
out with this little friend and led her
right to the sort of thing that l
thought would be the best investment.
In the sketch you will see what it was.
"You can wear this frock now,' ! told
my friend, "for all those teas and re
ceptions and things. You could even
pour at the college presidents recep-
tion in it. Moreover, it will do for
all but the formal dinner parties. Then
when spring comes and the first fresh
ness is worn off, you can turn it into n
frock to wear for more general use.'
And the hat is one we saw and
thought would go we'll with the frock
when she wears 1t to pour at the pres
ident's reception. 1t is of black satin
with a white satin crown braided in
black. with a black feather at the back.

How Case Was Started

The Lands hearing commenced in
September when truck owners whose
trucks had been seized by officials at
Zion City attempted to regain posses
sion of the same by means OF a per
manent injunction from the Federal
Court. When the case came before
Judge Lands, after a temporary in
junction had been granted by Judge
Sanborn, a thorough investigation of
the beer smuggling business resulted.
Lands called as witnesses all who
might be able to throw light on the
situation. The witnesses included
Milwaukee and Chicago brewers,
Kenosha beer agents, Chicago saloon
keepers and many others who had
been connected with the business OF
bringing 2.75 per cent beer from Wis
consin to be sold in Illinois. Many
of the witnesses refused to testify on
the ground that their answers might
incriminate them. Nearly all who re-
fused to testify were held to the grand
jury under bonds ranging from $4,000
to $4,000. Others who confessed
their connection with the illegal beer
traffic were also held to the grand
