US GIRLS

Dear Girls:
I suppose most of you are interest
ed in your new fall wardrobe. New"
I say, for even If you must, on &C
count of the high cost of living, wear
perchance some of last years duds
yet, they can be fixed in such a man
her that over that catty friend 60
of yours can say anything like do
you know this is the third season
that that girl is wearing the same
dress. Isn't it disgusting" then upon
your advance into the scene on
dear, my ont we look sweet o
know that girl n so do L.
There is one good thing, though,
none need spend a lot of extra money
on dress trimmings his fall. h
handy needle women can make them
oil. There is one thing that she must
be careful of and that is to apply
them in the right place. Pin tucks,
plain, simple tucks and two-inch
tucks applied from the hem to the
knees are very much In vogue, giving
the skirt that hobble effect. Hand
hemstitohing on the new wolfe and
batiste and ever georgette waists for
this autumn is all the rage. Cord
shirrings are also being applied
around the bottom of the skirt. With
the new sleeves the puff or the bell
effects a cord shirring near the elbow
~ a
cred buttons, especially the small
size, continue to be a very effective
trimming.
Just thought you might be inter-
ested in some of these things in or
der to renovate that last years

Did you ever make that candy?
Did it come out good? 1 imagine
that you are some" cook.
Dear Helen:
1t has taken me three whole weeks
to get all this news together. 1 guess
by now l have enough news to fill
hp the whole column.
l belong to a club which has six
members. -Four of the girls live in
Perth( one In New York and one in
Canada. Don't you think our club Is
interesting.
Betty Brice" and "Snowbalr' be-
long to the club. The girls that don't
live in Perth correspond. Dear Helen,
] ave an awful temper. That Is why
everybody in my family call me Spit
fire. I won't lave that for my non
de plume because I don't like it.
am very mischievous so don't be a
bit surprised If I am not as good az
the rest of the girls. Happiness"
whom I hope will join soon, Is also
very mischievous That Is why every
one calls us the Heavenly twins"
I do not feel at all as If 1 were a
new member. You see I know lots
of-giris that write too.
Z Ala and alaeA! I have no great
ambition like the rest Of the girls.
want to be a stenographer but father
says with your awful temper and
your left hand you'll never make
one But / am going to try real
hard to be q success.
] am a freshman. l have blonde
curls, blue eyes, a medium sized
mouth and an awful long nose. VIII
you please tell me how 1 should
dress? I usually wear big hats to
hide my nose.
Don't you think it would be a good
idea to have this kind of pin; the
boys have a triangle all red with Y.
M. G. A. In white. The girls could
have a triangle upside down all white
with Y. w. c. A. In red. Blue ribbon
suggests that we ave a clover, which
means good luck; on each leaf should
be written a letter.
Well, 1 guess it is about time I
closed so 1 will say A Revoir" until
have more news.
Yours for a Y. w. c. A.
