Welcome Him at Home

Dear Cyuthia---A discussion arose re-
Gently which we decided to leave to your
Judgment.
A young girl sixteen years of age, very
pretty and attractive. met a young man
a few years older than herself.
This young man Is himself g. very
bright. and well-educated Young man,
also of very genteel and refined parent
age lie asked permission to call at the
Young lady's house, which she granted
lie has called on her few times and
has asked for permission to take her out
She has no parents, but Is living with
an uncle and aunt, and they refused to
permit the young man even to call
We admit the young lady Is rather
younG-but do YOU think that in itself
is sufficient justification for refusing to
permit a fine. resp: ctable young man to
call on an equally fine young LADY,.
A. c. s.
The aunt and uncle of the young girl
are making q mistake. 1t 10 natural
for boys and girls to seek each others
society, and the proper place TO do so
Is in their own homes. II they are not
welcomed at home, they will meet on
street corners and other undesirable
places. Better welcome them at home.

So often nowadays a frock is
mere parade of bands. The possibilities
of ornamentation contained in folds Of
self material Is. in fact. inexhaustible.
and Il number of the autumn models of
suits and dresses are trimmed with
nothing else. In this simple but unusual
model, however, the bands of self ma
terial have as accessories squares of en-
broidery done in black and French blue
floss. The fabric used is navy blue
velour. 1t will be noted that the folds
of the material on bodice, sleeves and
skirt are all folded under, an arrange
ment particularly effective as carried
out on the upper section of the frock.
