sister, ten years younger, and confess
j had quite a case on Molly, when 1t
gradually dawned on me that Molly
had all the pretty dresses, all the new
hats all the fun. and when there were
any doings at the house. Jane did al!
the fussing, made all the cakes and
candy and salads and punch-or cocoa,
as the case might be, while Molly sat
idly by and just looked pretty and was
the belle cf the ball"
put on my thinking cap and 1t did
not take long to see that Jane was just
as pretty, and when 1 got better ac-
quainted. a whole lot more fun than
little sister Molly, who had been spoiled
and babied until she was very selfish
and self-conceited young lady. When
1 started rushing Jane she at first
avoided me every chance she could and
later confessed how cid she was-as IL
that mattered. Well, we've been mar
ried for years, and there may be happier
married folks, but we doubt It.
TED AND JANE.
Hurrah for you two! You are making
a lot of us envy you tonight just be-
cause you are SO happy. Thanks for
writing. And see, Calamity jane
loves the thing that counts.

Adventures
With aPurse

THERE is novel charm for around

and a half in length, and against a
greenish blue background is clear-cut
cameo head of pure glowing white. The

are made from shells. Each is surround
ed by a narrow silver finish band, and
depends from quarter-inch wide black

over your linens for the summer. Maybe
you have some bureau scarfs and table
covers that need only bit of fresh new
lace. WE'LL one shop has table Of laces,
the prices of which range from ten cents
to forty cents a yard. I examined
number Of pieces, and saw some laces at
fifteen cents which would make excellent
edging for covers and the like 1t would
pay you to stop in and look them over
r ALWAYS like to think that powders,
i cold creams and the like are COM
pounded by women. For who but a
woman could know whether a certain
face powder would be liked by her sis
ters! And that is why like this pow
der named after a woman, and which I
am sure was originally compounded by
a woman. can picture her carefully
and patiently experimenting with first
this quantity and then that. until at last
she perfected the powder which she has
called "a natural shade" 1t matches
any complexion, is soft, and clingo most
satisfactorily. Even the price-seventy-
five cents---is reassuring, for somehow I
would never be willing to trust, my face
to cheap powder. One cannot be too
careful.

Are Blondes Misiudged?

Dear Cynthia-No doubt this question
will sound rather absurd but I know
you will answer it.
am a blonde and wherever go peo-
pie misjudge me. And I just hate to
go anywhere for that reason, for de-
spite the fact that I make up once in
a while I am certainly not gay. Why
Is it that people have such poor opin-
Ions of blondes?
. Will you please help me by giving
some pointers on how to convince peo-
pie that I am not a sporty kind Of
girl. and II you advise me to I will
darken my hair If it will help,
I want to thank you for any advice
you can give me.
: A DAILY READER OF YOUR
COLUMN.
Won't some one please come to the
rescue of the blondes? Or do other
blondes find themselves misjudged?
Don't dream of darkening your hair.
Do you dress conspicuously or let the,
powder show "chalky"? These things,
linked with snowy hair, might attract
undue attention.
am hoping some other blondes will
write in, and compare notes.

trying to forget. I did. by taking long
which am very fond. I studied my
lessons and I have learned to forget.
Dear Cynthia. do You think I was right?
Can't other girls forget the men they
loved who turned them down. I have
many friends. so. why shouldn't l for
get? 1 talk TO him when we pass each
other. Cant ether young girls try

forget there was every such man?

Dear you acted very nobly according
to the way you saw things, but you
weren't. seeing things in Just the right
way. A boy can write to as many girls
they are engaged. There was no rea-
som for you to stop writing just be-
cause the boy thought he'd like to know
to be thinking SO seriously about boys.
Just think of them as pals for few
years and see how much more fun you'll
have.
