rowed the money from Laurel to pay
for it. but it was becoming and it made
Laurels old sport hat look the shah
bier by contrast. Laurel, stealing a
surreptitious look at herself in pass
ing window. decided that she must buy
new hat. Winona was right. Laurel
had women's S notions very seldom, but
she suddenly wished that she had worn
new hat when she had interviewed
Granville Burton.
The girls went down fight of base =
ment stairs and into Mucci's. where
they had their dinner. Later they went
up to their small apartment, which con :
sisted of a sitting room, bedroom and
combination kitchenette and bath on
East Eighth street. Winona divested
herself of her hat and coat. which she
threw carelessly on one of the chairs.
and then. bringing out some pieces of
silk and some cloudy tulle, she sat cross
legged on the floor and began to work
on an evening dress that was half fin =
ishcd
Laurel curled up on the couch with a
book.
The apartment itself was very cosy.
The front room held a couch which was
covered in the daytime with handsome
black velour cover. 1t had been an old
portiere, but Winona s clever fingers
had made really good couch cover out
of it, and pillows of scarlet, orange and
peacock blue fanked the top. Laurel
slept here at night. while Winona had
a couch in the bedroom, smaller room
beyond. The walls of the living room
were of deep cream. and there were
some we'll chosen prints here and there.
A couple of basket chairs. tea table
with q rather handsome tea set of Jap
anese china, black dragons on a white
background. some smoking things on a
small tabouret, the couch and some low
bookshelves completed the room. The
bedroom beyond was very simple. The
girls shared chest of drawers. and
there was large closet. The bathroom
was very large, and one end had been
cut off with partition. This was the
kitchenette. and contained tiny por :
celain sink and small gas stove. Here
the girls managed their simple meals
and even dinner party occasionally.

She Favors PoIiteness

Dear Cynthia--In answer to the re-
quest of certain reader, IN. Y. s."
concerning the plausibility of "smack
ing fellows in the face" my candid
opinion is that it is wholly unwar-
ranted and does not conform to the laws
of good conduct A gentleman wouldn' t
give cause either by word or action to
experience "a smack in the face But,
on the other hand, gentle and refined
woman would not resort to the ex
tremes of resentment in such manner.
Personally, do not think much of a
man who would excite the tender feel
ings of woman and SO cause her to
retaliate in an unladylike fashion. But
women out of respect and Difference to
themselves, in my humble opinion, can
easily find way out of IN exasperating
situation without bravado. In the long
run politeness and discretion conquer
all things. NJ. l.. e

Thanking you for any information
YOU will give. MRS. J.F. D.
The douole rosster can be made to
cook food successfully. Keep the little
slide on top closed until you desire TO
brown the roast. This usually means
that you should cook your food on a
hot oven and about thirty minutes be-
fore serving open the slide; double
roasters are self basting and do not
require much watching.

Another Shot at Buck Private

Another Shot at Buck Private
Dear Cynthia-I beg this opportunity
to answer the letter of 'Sophie D."
where she makes the statement that n
girl closes her eyes when she is being
kissed the same as she might do when
she smells n delicious perfume. I just
had hunch that maybe Buck Pri-
vate' uses perfume or perhaps bando-
line or some of those exquisitely scented
face preparations which one sees ad-
vertised in the cut-rate ads. My real
opinion of the matter is that some
smart young lad just wrote that article
to see if he could get a rise out of some
of your readers. for ] am cure no per-
son in his right senses would ask you
such an absurd question. "Sengas'
letter cant expect to receive much more
than a laugh from this source. for ! am
sure that kissing business with her eyes
closed is all "bull." 1t sounds to me
that she is either extremely soft or is
trying to appear very coy.
/ hope you will excuse my sarcasm
and any rash statements that l might
have made, Cynthia, but they are my
sincere thoughts. MONDAIN.
