Dear Cyntha-I have quarreled with
the only girl in the world for me. She
broke our engagement. 1t was all be-
cause objected to her going to dances
with another escort Business prevented
my going. II was only one of many.
why should she go with another man
and have me talked about?

phone. but she is always ''out" Please
tell me what to do. 1t would wreck my
life II she would. in At of pique. marry
my very close rival. J. r. S.
Try writing to her. But remember
unless you are engaged to her you have
no right whatever to demand that she
go out with you only.
1t seems rather a mistake to insist

cannot go yourself, even IL you are en-
gagged. It's we'll to be little broad on

Nine times out of ten she could have

that fatal tenth time that failed her.
OF course, if there was that understand :

DOTTED Swiss, you know, has re =

Not that 1t, has ever been out of fash

smart frocks now made Of the sheerest
sort of dotted Swiss, some Of them with
white dots on the white background, ,
some entirely in one or other of the
fashionable summer tints and again
with the cclored dots on a white back
ground. All fabrics this year are un-
usually sheer. That is one of the essen
tials. and dotted Swiss is especially
charming when it is sheer because of the
contrast of the substantial dot against
the filmy background fabric.
The frock sketched today is of white
Swiss with dots Of deep blue. There are
trimming bands and sash Of organ
die of the same shade as the dot in the
Swiss. Button molds covered with this

There are ever so many occasions
when a frock of this sort would be suit

summer resort it is the sort of frock
you like to don in the afternoon when
lyou are too indolent or too informal to
dress for dinner. II it happens that
you dance, then it answers the purpose
There are no outstanding rufles that
will be crushed If you decide rather to
don top coat and go for a motor spin.

simply pass the time on your veranda
