Dear Madam am n girl in the
sophomore class of our high school. It
is the intention Of our class to raise
enough money in order that at the close
Of our senior year we can take an ex-
cursion to Washington, d. 9.
We have started by paying monthly
dues. Owing to various difficulties we
cannot give social or entertainment as
we would like to do. It may be possible
in June to give some kind Of outside
social, etc., but we are not positive II
we can even do this.
Could you suggest any new or novel
way Of making money! II we could not
use your suggestions this year they may
be very useful next yeas, but what we
really want is an idea TO make money

Please Tell Me
What to DO
Waiting for the Right One
BY CYNTHIA


Dear Cynthia-I have never written
to your column before because ! rather
enjoyed reading the correspondence of
others. But after reading that clever
article by Lots of Experience"
thought that I, too, would say lit
tie.
I agree with Lots OF Experience"
as to his remarks about kissing. puppy
love and the rest of those absurdities.
However, differ with him when he says
that the good girls of today are the old
fashioned kind. A good girl. Lots Of
Experience. need not be old fashioned
to be good. Probably you are com
pairing extremes. But what do you
think of my case? | am educated, Of a
pleasing personality and good looking.
When girls ask me how the boys are
tell them I haven't been out with any.
They Immediately laugh as il they don't
believe me, although I am telling the
truth. Here are my reasons from ex-
pcriencc. The boys with whom you can
go out 10 the movies or other places Of
! amusement are usually ones who are
the kissing, nonsensical type. The men
who are the opposite, who have sense
enough not to expect kisses in return,
are the ones who ask you once in n
while or the individual who is waiting
for the time to ask you to marry him.
Now to sum up my reasons for not
going out much First, because l am
too young (nincteen) to think Of mar
riage, and. secondly. would rather stay
home or go out with girls than with
those Complimenting idiots whose minds
are full of foolish thoughts.
You say. I'VE fellows are not looking
for the jazz baby" etc. say that
| girls of my type are not looking for
those boys who are not big enough to
appreciate modern girl with old fash
ioncd abilities plus modern ideas Of
worth while knowledge. NJ. NJ.

earnings from $3.50 to So per week, !
agreed to go into the store one half
hour earlier and remain one half hour
later each day to assist in the cloak
room. Each morning and evening l

Young woman left two weeks later
went TO her home two nights a week to
study shorthand. l taught myself to
use the typewriter.
After studying for two winters my,
good friend and bcnefactor arranged

their graduating class at night.
I attended regularly for two months,
when the vacation period set in. Dur
ing the summer of 1915 I secured my
present position as stenographer and
clerk and realized it would be too great
a strain to endeavor to work in on n
new position and study at night as
strenuously as had been doing; SO
never went back to school. So, here
I came and here I have made good. My

GETTING ALL DRESSED UP
WHEN A GUEST is EXPECTED

in Clo,hes-Fnst Impressions Are Important, but

MOT long ago there was a story in a

was In love with a city girl. She came
to visit in the village nearby, and be
invited her to dinner to meet his family.
He dreaded the affair because he knew
that his mother would put on her stiff,
unbecoming, Sunday best silk dress,
with the accompanying stiff, formal,
Sunday best manner. He knew that
his father would be so starched and stiff
fened that his conversation would be
stilted, too. He knew that all the
children would be 80 dressed up and
clean that they couldn't possibly be nat
ural.
But somehow or other the girl made
a mistake and came too early. She
found mother in the becoming. though

panying sweet, hospitable, informal
manner. She found the children shy
and disheveled and natural. She had q

Dear Cynthia-Will you please print
these few lines in your paper? I read
"One Who Knows opinion about
marrying an Italian. why, l should
think she ought to be ashamed of her
self to throw down her own kind Of
people. Not all Italian fellows are
alike. Please think before you write
again. Zone Who Knows" You don't
expect to have a good time after you
are married.
"ONE WHO KNOWS BETTER"
1t seems to me that you do not un-
derstand the letter of "Onc Who
Knows" correctly. She does not "throw
down" her own people, as you express
it. She simply points out the fact that
foreign men Tin this case Italians) do
not, as a rule. expect their wives to
have as much freedom as Americans do,
and when a girl is brought up with
American ideas and is an American
through and through, she would be apt
to find foreign customs very hard to
deal with. As One Who Knows" says,

theirs. No, conc Who Knows" gave

Turing the war we took aprons

DURING the war we took aprons
~ very seriously, and women who had
boasted that they never wore an apron
in their lives and others whose only
aprons consisted Of tiny little affairs OF
lace and ribbons that they donned when
presiding over the chatting dish or doing
dainty needlework, acquired many sorts
of the practical aprons imaginable.
There were Red Cross aprons and food
administration aprons-Hoover aprons
we called them-and knitting aprons.
We. most of us. acquired the apron
habit.
But those days fortunately are passed
and gone, and the apron idea now shows
itself in the most frivolous and fanciful
form imaginable. You will see from
the sketch that far from being practical
garments they are simply detail in the
trimming Of dainty summer frocks.
Many of the cotton frocks that are now
being shown by the dressmakers here
show this little apron motive in one
