BOX COATS POPULAR
 FAIL MODELS

The popularity which is attending box coats in the most exclusive cus- tom made ablishments. as well as retail stores, is encouraging enough to produce new models along three lines.
 Usually the box coat is identified with misses styles only. These mod els introduce some slantwise fasten- ings and are partial to fastening be- low the waistine, in fact quite close to the bottom.
 Another youthful style, which they have modified for women. is shown in the longer waistband, fitted bodice with the scal1op bottom joined to a short skirt section composed of alter hating cloth and fur sections, each detached from the other. New ideas in shield front effects, which now are called by some the Russian blouse on straight lines arc also being featured in veldyne, one of these having the Grecian key de- sign worked with floss in a. manner to outline the shield" Other models are somewhat red1n. gote of line with choker collars Of squirrel, mole or skunk, three of the furs favored here.

 A Worthless Woman. Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I had been going about with a girl for two years, and asked her to be my wife. She consented, and said we would marry as soon as could start a home. I began to save and let her bank the money for me. When $250 had been accumulated she said her love had grown cold and she had de- cided not to marry me. but she haz not yet returned my money.
 II still love her, but do not know what to do.
 ENSIGN.
 You might charge the money up was a lucky escape to get rid of a girl as cheaply as this. She isn't worthy suppose she's calculating adventures. Don't fight her for the money. Be glad you learned to save and be still gladder that you aren't married to a woman who is provins herself so unworthy.

 But all the time I ''fussed'' I was trying to nerve myself to the point of kissing Virginia when she arrived and did it, clinging to her almost tender1y and not letting myself be hurt when she pulled herself away and flung herself into Jim's arms, cry ing: any more-are you, brother-boy?'
 Jim held her close.
 Virginia seemed all tenderness and no tide of cold self-consciousness welled up to nip her warmth. When she came into the bedroom to remove her hat and furs she chattered away eagerly. Later I came to realize what all her small talk meant, what subject she was trying to avoid. And yet perhaps her object was kindly-she may have been trying to avert the very thing that happened.
 We had two delightful hours Vir- ginia and Jim reviewed for me some of their childish escapades. And our party. and the laughing reminis- cences seemed to bring me close to always eluded me heretofore
 At six Betty came in on our laugh ing group. Then Nea1-and the end of my dream that Virginia and l "Oh, Mrs. Dalton. I've been phon ing you,' Neal said eagerly. "'I want to take Phoebe out to dinner. May r"
 '"rhat is quite impossible,'' said vir- gin1a- with suggestion of her old frigidity- she added more kind 1y, "Fhoebe's really too young to dine alone with men"
 I suppose Neal should have ask Virginia to cfaperone them but in stead, he insisted with enthusiasm that strode to override her objec- tions:
 "oh, please-just this once! I've a very special reason. You surely won't refuse now. We're all friends-aren't we ?" Virginia lifted her eyebrows slightly lit had somewhat the paralyzing eff. feet of being stared at through g 1orngette-and said:

 NeaFs face crimsoned virginia rose and I followed he1 into the bedroom, leaving Betty and Neal to amuSe Jim. And when we were alone I made an effort to pleao | NeaPS cause. It isn't as if he were an outsider Virginia: He's one of us-of our fam. fly. Think how splendidly he proved l Really, Anne," replied Virginia freezingly, "I think you might have better taste than to drag that boy into my brothers affairs
 For a minute I stood as hurt an6 amazed as if she had struck me then my temper f7ared up. | You dare call my brother an out s1der, l gasped. fBut you didn't hes lti.te to take two real outsiders intt your confidence when you were ore suming to manage my husbands af fairs Do ycu think Jim would eve forgive you if he knew that you wen to Terry and Betty, and begged then l fora job?'

CHAPTER IXV-


 No one appeared to notice that Vir- glnia and I parted without a word I congratulated myself on the fact that every one probably thought we had said an afectionate farewell when we were alone in the bedroom.
 Ruefully reflected on the real situ- ation. Vlrginia's last words to, me had been:
 Your husband happens to be my brother-kindly remember that. I did what thought best for him. But that didn't include lying to him.
 After calling on Betty and Terry to find work for my Jim, Virginia had turned on me with actual fury for the way I helped carry out their plans. And she had snubbed Neal and called him an outsider. An outsider! Hadn't t she always treated me as if I were one? ASH turned these things over in my mind there was mething very like hate for Virginia Tn my heart. And her actions had not indicated much love for me.

 LOVELORN
HAPPINESS AT SHAKE.
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 am twenty-three and live with my father and sisters. I never went out with any boy friends before my mothers death, but since have met young man for whom I care great deal and he has asked me to marry him. have not given him my answer my sister (who is three years older. than D does not care for him.
 I know am really in love with him and know that he is the only one who can make me happy. In the face of all this should I sacrifice my lifes happiness for my family's sake :?
 REGGIE. Alt twenty-three you are old enough to know your own mind. Your sister is not thinking of marrying this young man-you are. Unless there is some serious and well-grounded ob- ection to the young mans character, don tsnhink you owe it to your sis ter, or Ito any one else in your fam fly, to let her prejudice come between you and your love.
