crowd because I can't dance? Also,
Cynthia. what is the proper way to ask
a girl II / may escort her home?
INEXPERIENCED"
Do not worry about it. Go and do
as the other men do who do not dance.
You will probably find girls at the
party who do not dance. and you can
talk to them. Do not take your musi-
cal instrument with you unless you
have been invited to do so.
If there is special girl you want
to take home from the party, 1t would
be wise to telephone or write to her
before the affair, asking II you may
take her and at what time you may
CALL
You would do we'll to take a few

She Loves an Italian

Dear Cynthia-I am a young girl Of
twenty years and am in love with an
American Italian and my mother thinks
that 1t is awful to go with an Italian.
Now, Cynthia, dear, do you think 1t is
all right? He is very respectable
young man and everybody likes him.
ANXIOUS.
Your mother may have another reason,
for If the man is an American with
Italian blood, he knows American ways.
However, because our ways and for.
eigners' are apt to be different in many
customs. an American girl should be
very sure of his love before she accepts
him and very sure that she will be will
ing to stand for these differences. For
eign customs are very irksome to an
independent American girl.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Ros,

over there one sees some women wear
ing almost every conceivable style.
So, although many of the smartest
of the new things do show the stright,
narrow lines, others show bouffancy
and others are just in between. There
are full skirts and scant skirts, short
skirts and well, very occasionally on
