Women 90 Per Cent Frivolous

Dear Cynthia--For the last eight
years | have been roaming around and

10 find any girl that I would want for p
wlte. Through experience l find that 9S
ner cent of the opposite sex are a rui-
natlon to the men. All they care for
are cabarets and good times.
Do YOU think there Is any chance Of
my finding a wife? Kindly give your
opinion WORRIED.
Not much chance. my friend. IL you

II you have not met them. I am afraid

remark and never be aware that II
decidedly gets on the nerves OF the
world-at.large. The personality expert
will be frank about 1t; 1t is for that
you are paying her. You may snap
your fingers when you are trying to
think OF word; you may let your at,
tention wander when some one Is
telling you a joke and then, again. you
may have that frequent failing of
talking too much about yourself when
there is general conversation.
TNHE personality expert is very prac'
L tical, indeed. She not only devotes
herself to such elusive things as
swinging your body when you walk,
but shY tells you il you are wearing
your hair the right way and il your
clothes are making you as attractive
as you might be.
This, of course, leads her into social
fields. That is, puzzled persons not
only come to her to find out IL there
Is anything in their makeup causing
them to stand still in the business
world, but they come to find out why
they are not popular with those they
meet socially
| HNHE particular message this little
l. story has for other women and
men. too, is that the very fact of this
woman's calling proves our queer
mental and physical mannerisms do
frequently keep us back. We all do
not favor going to professional per-
sons to have our faults laid bare to
the breezes, but it is certainly possible

II is usual to send girl a gift at the

girl flowers, but that is not necessary

HAVE heard Of a very interesting
woman whose unusual calling might
have a message for other women.
She is the personality expert. In

she can tell you just What is wrong
with you. This means IL you have a
certain mannerism that is keeping you
back you will be told about 1t and
also told how to correct it. The man.
nerism may be physical or mental.
That is, for instance, you may walk
in such a queer way that 1t keeps you
from being promoted in the office, or
you may have such a queer little an.
tagonistic way of looking at things
that 1t is impossible for others to get
to know the real you.
There are a hundred queer little
quirks OF human nature that you prob.
ably have never linked up with be-
ing successful or not being successful.
But the personality expert has them
all carefully indexed In her mental
catalogue. For instance, you may

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

TT 1Svery easy to remember when the
l. silk jersey was introduced several
years ago, first as the sweater coat and
then in suits 1t did not take very
long for the designers of dresses to see
great possibilities for its use in the
making up of frocks. Fashionable de-
signs were, however, quite a drawback
at that time for the working out OF a
real success Of jersey silk for dresses.
II is a well-known fact that jersey SILK
lends itself most admirably to designs
on the clinging type and does not look
at all we'll when plated or gathered.
Because jersey silk has a tendency to
cling and clinginess Is a part OF the
fashions for the coming season, 1t is
bound to enjoy the most popular season
since its introduction. No material
could be more ideal to use for the one
piece dresses, made after the fashion
of the chemise, than the jersey silk.
The artist has made you a sketch of
one of the newest of the jersey dresses
and has carried out to a nicely the way
| the material follows the figure. This
! frock Is made in n neutral-colored jer-
sey and Is embroidered in bright-colored
silks The three quarter sleeve is held
| lust below the elbow with a ribbon
which is used at the neckline. The en-
broidered lower section forms two
pockets, one at either side. The belt
| is narrow and ties at the back. The
skirt is straight and narrow, the hem
is faced back on the right side of the
skirt and is finished with a cording.
The straw hat has crown of the
Jersey. embroidered to match the frock
