Adventures
With a Purse

EVERYBODY knows that the best
~ way to make iced tea, IL one does
not mind the expense, is to pour the hot
tea right over the ice. And while one
may not care to be that extravagant for
every day purposes, one might like to
make it that way for afternoon tea when
company comes. And. of course, the
smartcst way TO make hot tea is with
a tea ball. After which lengthy intro
duction, shall proceed to the matter
in hand and tell you of the amusing lit
tie tea balls one shop has. They look
for all the world like jolly fat little tea
pots. in some Kind Of silver finish ma
terial. Sure enough, there is the pomp-
Gus looking spout and the boastful
handle, and the lid of the teapot set at
just the respectful angle, but the whole
thing measures scarcely an inch wide
mighty cunning little tea balls and
would incidentally make shower gift

A Talented Little Girl

To the Editor Of Wondus Po1c.
Dear Madam-WouId you kindly tell
me II there is a school Of dancing where
they give flee instructions to talented
children? Next to our home lives a
very poor family with several children,
OF which one. the youngest, eight Years
of age. little girl, has great talent for
dancing; in fact I think her a little
genius. But unfortunately the father
who is sick man, cannot afford TO
pay for lessons. You have helped SO
many others that l thought you might
be interested in this case and helm with
| your WlSe information. J. +.
There are classes in esthetic dancing
which is the kind this little girl would
! need, should think. at the various neigh
! borhoOd houses. Most OF them are free or
! else they charge a very small sum lust
| few cents, for each lesson. MANY of
| the classes are over now until the fall,
| but the houses are open and you could
! go there, and make arrangements now
| for the little girl TO take some lessons
| In the fall. The Reed Street Neighbor-
| hood House, Reed and Beulah streets,
would be the nearest to yout | think,
! or the College Settlement House, 433
| Christian street. Then there is the
Neighborhood Center, 42S Bainbridge
| street. where lessons In dancing are
also given, ! am sure you will be able
! N get the little girl into one of these
. classes, and I hope she will come un
/ 20 Your expectations If she has the
| talent 1t really should be cuItiya ted
and II Is very kind of you 10 take such
an interest in her.

] love him very dearly, and should

What a tragedy II Is, this sixteen
ear-old "love." The "young man"
has probably forgotten what she looks
like and tomorrow evening he will prob
ably be walking home with some other
girl after dancing with her several
times. He would probably be the most
surprised young man in the world IL
somebody told him that that pretty little
girl with the dimple in her chin was
''in love" with him. He might even
be embarrassed, jf such thing is
possible with the composed young men
Of today.
Love at first sight is a fact. It does
happen. Many marriages resulting from
it have been entirely happy. But so
many times it hasn't happened when a
pretty little sixteen -year-old with a
dimple in her chin thinks it has. That
delightful feeling that comes over her
at the remembrance Of that fox -trot,
and the tones of ''his' voice when he
said, Listen, I'd like to walk home
with you tonight" may be only graft
fication. 1t is so gratifying, you
know, to have ''him" dance with
you several times and then ask if
he may see you safely home. To think
that he should really care whether you
get safely home! Yes, it's all very
gratifying when you are sixteen and
have dimple in your chin.

unnecessary, too, for II is really harmtui

the idea of powder anyway? u doesn
improve girls looks any. What do
you suppose the girls did in the olden
days to appear attractive and pretty
There was no powder then, so they
used just plain soap and water. Now
adays a girl doesn't think she Is Iuily
dressed unless she has a face full OF
powder. They stand before the gum
machines IN the subway and powder
their noses. while q bunch or men Try
to get a piece of gum before the tram
comes. They look in every mirror they
pass just to see IL their nat is on
straight and if the powder has piown
off their noses yet. OF course, am
not down on all girls, because the sen
sible ones do not powder and paint.

no further advice to give on that mat
