Please Tell Me
What to Do
BY CYNTHIA
Six Months Difference

Dear CYNTHIA have been reading
your answers in the paper ana nave
found them interesting, so now L am
going to come to you for advice.
| am young girl of twenty years,
and have been going with young man
for a year and half In this time L
have learned to love this young man,
and he in turn reciprocates. To prove
to me his affection, he has asked me TO
marry him.
Now. Cynthia. here is where the
trouble starts. My parents have only,
one objection to this proposition and
that is, ] am six months older than this
young man, and they think it will make
a difference, if not now, later on.
We simply cannot give one another
up, but what shall we do? We do
want our parents consent, but 1T seems
impossible to get it.
Please. Cynthia. tell me what I am to
do. There is one thing sure, we cannot
give one another up, nor can we go on
with our friendship, IL nothing may ever
let us get married it would be useless
to continue along those lines, so IL you
can help me in this shall be very much
obliged to you. ANXIOUS.
Six months either way is certainly
not sufficient to make the slightest diff
ference now or later in life between
two persons contemplating matrimony
IL the young man were six years young
er you might be making a mistake and
think you would be, but certainly siS
months younger means nothing. 1oul
parents must have some other reason
Ask them to tell you frankly their OBJ
icctions, and, if they are not reasonable
ones. it would be foolish to give up this
young man who loves you and whom
YOU love, if you are both of age.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose


0NE of the most exclusive places in
" New York that had never before had
dancing in the afternoon inaugurated
this sort of entertainment. This place
then became the rendezvous of the
smart younger set, and it is here that
one may be sure to see all the young
woAen with their army or navy officer
beaux. There is. therefore, no place
where one may better judge what is
favored in fashion than at this after
noon dance.
The other day, when I sat watching
the dancing, as we'll as the dancers, I
was greatly impressed by the great
number Of suits which the young
women were wearing.
These suits, taken as whole,
were in dark coloring, relieved by
vests of vivid colorings of silk o, EN- :
broidery. Navy blue outnumbered
everything else. There were also taupe
shades, few henna and brown and tar
shades, but all with some touch of color
One all blue suit was worn with a most
fetching hat of navy blue, trimmed with
two ostrich feathers of turquoise blue
This quite took away the; ;somberncss o.
the otherwise dull costume.
I am showing you one of the new
peplum suits today. This suit is mad,
of navy blue serge and trimmed in mar
row black silk braid and buttons. Tn,
vest is quite unusual. inasmuch as it ex
tends only to the waistlinc and is mucl
on the order of the dickey. This yes
and also the small cuffs are of red sill
dotted with blue.
The hat worn with this suit is o
navy blue taffeta and is draped with 9
scarf of red raffia.
Enquiries are solicited and may b.

Woman In Diplomatic Service

One of'thc first women to hold posi-

When, in 1866, Mr.. Coggeshall was
appointed United States minister to
Ecuador, his daughter accompanied him
as secretary Of legation and had charge
of the Office for four months after his
death.

Spend Summer at camp

Heart Broken" If you can possibly
manage 1t go to girls camp this sum-
mer. If the Maine or other wood camps
are too expensive, you could join the
Girl Scouts as an officer, possibly. For

TREATY MUTILATION
MEANS HEAVY LOSS

Washington, D. c., Nov. IS
In these days of uncertainty over
the shape in which the covenant
of the League of Nations, to say
nothing of the remainder Of the
|peace treaty, will be passed by
the Senate, the thinking men and
women of the nation are begin

fsuch as is being urged by .Sena-
tor Lodge and others, should
prevail.
One of the leading economic
and financial authorities of the
house of Congress is Senator
Robert l.. Owen, of Oklahoma,
whose name together with that
of Carter Glass, now secretary
of the treasury, is attached to
the prominently successful Fed
eral Reserve Banking system.
This question was put to him b.
some newspaper men in re-
spouse to requests from their
readers for an authoritative an
swer:
what would be the effect,
financially and commercially, of
a failure of Treaty ratification"
To which Senator Owen replied
simplifying the query to cover
other possibilities, as follows:
IF the Republican leadership
should be able to hold over
third of the Senate to destructive
reservations the treaty would be,
defeated and some very evil con-
sequences might cnsue.

ALONZO SODSL|NS'
Anniversary
Had His Neck Broken Thir.
teen Years Ago To-
morrow

Tomorrow will partake of something
of the nature of an anniversary for
Alonzo Sou3lin, the man with the
broken neck, who has been in the city
for several days selling post cards and
booklets. Thirteen years ago tomor-
row at 1880 o'clock in the morning it
happened to Souslin, "it' in this case
meaning the fall of plank which
struck him with it's edge square on the
back of the neck.
At the time Souslin was working as
a decorator in a building at Dayton,
Ohio. He was unconscious for eight
days after that but to the amazement
of the doctors instead of dying he be-
gan to get better and after they had
kept him in a plaster cast for months
they finally rugged him up harness
with which he has been able to get
around ever since making a living for
his wife and son, now boy in high
school at Dayton and beginning to be
a breadwinner himself
Souslin says he is going to hold a
celebration tomorrow. Sunday he
will leave this city for Morgantown.
This is his second visit to this city,
the first one having been made nine
years ago. He says he has been most
generously treated here and today in
speaking of it he expressed gratitude.
