when IL comes to hats, that Is a very

Approves Of "Three Pals"

Dear Cynthia-Kindly allow me to
say few words to the Three Pals.
Thank you.
Being Of the opposite sex and to live
up to the rules of Hoyle should dis
agree with your last letter to Cynthia
on the subject of the "shimmy." But
to do so would be putting myself In the
same boat in which your Gentlemen
friends rode. I cannot bring myself to
do such a thing.
Just let me say one thing, girls: by
refusing to shimmy with the beings in
question OF my sex you have created q
respect for yourselves that should be due
all members OF your sex. You have had
the power and the will to say no, some
thing thousands Of US mortals need to
acquire. You have placed yourselves on
the path OF Righteousness" where you
shall And no evil. You are surely to be
admired for your courage and will power.

time to come. Before they shimmy again
they will stop to consider their partners

Naturally narrow-minded person
will answer me thusly: You cannot ex-
pect me to dance properly always In a
public dance hall; or. secondly, that you
three should seek amusement elsewhere
In defense let me state, first, a public
dance hall should be Just as high in
standard as would be At for your own
mother to attend. There Is no getting
around that. Secondly let me state, you
are as much entitled to seek pleasure
there as members OF my sex. While
there you should be protected from an

WHAT'S WHAT
Nv urLEN pECrE

At this time OF the year. when de.
signers are experimenting with novel
fashions, the maxim of the Sage OF
Twickenham seems wiser than ever:
Be not the first by whom the new is
tried,
Nor yet the last to cast the old aside.
A woman OF good taste avoids conspic.
uous clothes. mindful OF the fact that
an old style. adhered to long after every
one else has abandoned II. makes its
wearer quite as noticeable as the woman
who likes to be the first--perhaps the
only one--to assume a new and daring
fashion.
Nowadays the Boardwalk at Atlantic
City, like Main street In Hometown, wit
nesses an Easter Sunday procession OF
"all sorts and conditions" OF styles The
earliest modes are shown at the Florida
and Californa winter resorts, and not
until the real outdoor-violet time do the
later.-and more authoritative---spring
fashions appear on the famous Atlantic
esplanade.

blondes are; you haven't met the real
