Which Does He Like Best

Dear Cynthia Il am young girl.
fifteen years of age, and am a junior in
high school. In my class there is boy
who Is one year my senior. He is a
very nice boy, gentlemanly in his ways
and also very attractive looking. 7
have known this boy for two years and
We have always been friends.
Now, Cynthia, there are a couple Of
girls that also like this boy. One girl
seems to be very jealous, but the other
doesn't seem TO bother. I believe that
he likes me and l believe he likes the
others, but would like to find out whom
he really does like the best, so how
would I go about il? This girl that
is jealous heard that / was going 10
move. and she seemed quite pleased
How should treat this kind Of a girl?
l treat her very nice now. | think that
she is trying 10 get this boy away.
do not run after this boy, but l think
that she does. Who IS right?
BROWN-EYED BETTY.
Why on earth. my little girl, should
not three girls like a little boy of six
teen? And equally why on earth should
not the boy like three little girls OF
fifteen? study your lessons and be
friends with all. And stop this silly
jealousy OF course, be nice to the lit
tie girls and to the boy as well. but dc
not be sentimental. You are too young

Give Her a Little Lime

Dear Cynthia Il am a sailor and
nave been going with a girl mere for
tne last year. / am twenty-three and
she is twenty-one. ] asked her recently
70 marry me when l am mustered out
She said that she cared for me. but
was not ready yet to get married as
she was fond of a good time. I then
asked her If ! waited a year or two
would 1 receive a favorable answer
and she told me she did not know.
Now, what l want to know, do you
think it worth my while to bother with
her or not? Glib.
1t would seem that the young girl
uoeS not love you as she should love
the man she will marry. 1t may be,
however. that, she will learn to love
you If she already cares for you >and
respects you and she is still very
young. Since there Is not another girl in
the question, why not hold on to the
thought until you see it will not do?
But in the meantime do not go to see
this girl exclusively; see others and let
her miss you a little. You know the
old proverb. Absence makes the heart
grow fonder." Try this and perhaps
she will find she does care. II she
till seems Indifferent after a year, II
would seem foolish to wait longer.

Dear Cynthia am a young girl of
eighteen. About two months ago
met young man at dance. He
seemed to care for me a whole lot and
danced with me the whole evening. Be
fore the dance was over, I put my hat
and coat on and said. well. I guess
I'll be going" and he said, 81 hope we'll

Wednesday evening, to my surprise,
I met him at party. He asked il ne
could escort me home. and l said yes
When the party was over he said. Wait
outside for me-" so l waited for about
twenty minutes and he never showed
up; SO I went home alone. I see him
often and he is mad at me. l love him,
dear Cynthia, and don't know whether
to speak to him or not. What shall
do? SMILING KITTY
How could you love a man you met
by chance at a dance, my dear? You
know nothing about him except that he
treated you very rudely, The sooner
you forget him. the better it will be
for you. You should not go to dances
alone. Always have an older woman
companion or go with a man you have
known for some time and to whom you
have been properly introduced

THERE isn't a much better way to

real boy in the American army than
to get hold of the paper he publishes.
When you get under the skin Of 1t

American army accomplishes.
The Stars and Stripes, the official
publication of the A. e. F., puts the
matter very aptly:

trying to remember where she had seen
his faco before. He looked vaguely IA
miliar, and yet she did not know his
name. She thought of the incident all
the way home, although she said nothing
to Gene about il. Ordinarily she would
have thought nothing at all of seeing
Ruth at tea with another man besides
her husband. Betty Lambert had all
her life believed in friendships between
men and women, but there seemed to
be something more to all this. and Ruth
had spoken so sarcastically about Scott's
engagements with women. Could II be
possible that Ruth did not approve, that
she resented Scott's friendship with
other women, with her? 1t might very
easily be true.
Back in the apartment Ruth was evad-
ing the issue. She asked Scott IL he
weren't tired and IL he would like his
dinner in bed she talked and laughed
about everything, but that one thing
was on her own mind and on Scotts,
until finally marking Scott's silence
she burst out suddenly
of course 1 know what you're think
ing, Scott Why don't you ask me quite
frankly about the other day, now that
Betty Lambert has done her best to
mako a mountain out of a molehill?"
I'm sure that Betty did not mean to
do anything Of the kind" Scott returned
quietly. And you know am quite will

about seeing Nick Carson. But it does

it to me the other day"

4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

A F'TER one has viewed the latest
\ arrivals from the other side of the
water, where. We have TO admit, the
styles which influence America are real
ly born, nothing makes a stronger i'm
preston than the method of drapery used
10 construct the bodces of the newest
of the new frocl<s. To give them Just a
casual glance, it might be said they were
sloppy, n very plebeian term, but oft
times very descriptive one. A study,
however, of the new clothes tonvinces
one that while the effect may be that Of
carelessness in cut it is in reality only
disguise, for the roomy, comfortable
look has been gained only because OF
the clever fingers that fashioned the
garments.
Following the extremely tight bodice
of last season, this roomy fitting of the
upper part of the body strikes an en-
tirely new note in the fashions and is
instrumental in giving us change in the
silhouette.
There is very little difference notice
able in the shoulders of the garments
/ of the last years modelS and those of
| this year. The change is below the
shoulder line and the frocks are cut to
give an uncorseted effect. The tendency
/ of most of these frocks is to have as
[ easy and comfortable a looking back as
/ front. The back ofttimes is much looser
| than the front. When the back is made
in the extreme of this fashion, the waist
line is nearly always elongated.
The model depicted today is an ex-
cellent illustration Of the comfy" STYLES
for spring. The artist has drawn the back
view of the frock that you may see the
bloused effect OF the back OF the bodice
and the lowered waistline. This dress
is made of fiowered chiffon combined
with black satin. The apron front the
front of the bodice and the flowing
sleeves are OF the dowered chiffon. The
draped foundation and the soft girdle
| which ties in a bow at the right side
Of the back are of the black satin. The
chiffon Is draped over at the back of the
bodice TO give a panel effect
The large hat Is of black satin. The
crown is draped with a wide ribbon OF
a contrasting color, which ties at the
