There are many things concern
ing which there Is no necessity to
pass laws, | suppose this is one Of
them. doubt whether there is
any rule against such costume for
the simple reason that the subject
has probably never come up for
consideration. Most women would
never raise the question because
such costume would attract so
much unpleasant attention they
would never care to venture far

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

have two very attractive older
sisters. but we are all three very
near the same age. I'm not bad
dancer and seem to be able to go
with boys until they learn i am
the baby" Of the family. I have
been engaged to a young man for
some time, but now he comes to
see my sisters. And 1t amuses them
immensely that they can "vamp'
my men. Is he worth my love or
not? Would you please advise me
what to do? SYDNEY.
xyOUR sisters seem to be act
Y ing very queerly and if !
were you, I'd do my level
best to beat them at their own
game. You attracted the man
first and if that is any criterion,
you will be able to attract him
again. Refuse to be pushed into
the background even II you are the
"kid" sister. II you were actually
engaged to this young man, l fail
to understand how he can transfer
his attentions without some un-
derstanding with you
On the other hand, perhaps you
are taking the thing seriously
when the others are only intending
to have some fun with you. Try
to have an understanding with
your sisters also. Possibly when
they learn you are really disturb
ed they will quit trying to tease
you.
