u,,st soy I marvel at her beauty. She
4. ,he Youngest looking person to have
daughter OF sixteen and son too,
~,o ID. growing into young manhood
tbst I have ever seen. Any girl of
.,rhteen would be perfectly justified in
.ar,,ne her her complexion. Her skin
:. ,,ke rose leaves and she was really
r,thout exaggeration simply stunning.
She was wearing suit Of cafe an
,.;, cloth, the skirt Of which was fin
,S,od about to the normal shoe top line.
=. ,roa knife plated and the coat was
~ - with n rather long skirt and held
ma.e ,e,,h narrow belt of cloth placed
~ IT.. about the waist. Her hat was a
W. wv. Vorowned affair Of the material Of
@ sV,' snit, trimmed mt either end with
Wv, sa.,, brown coaue feathers, extending
ua ossr the narrow strais ht brim. She
oyu wors n white blouse and a very hand
,on,e short string Of pearls about her
eek. and / think she had pearl car
rings. -, 4. ,oo, =. bor ond 7
found number Of other persons were
Wa,tracted by her beauty too. You know

SooI Mrs. Biddle's sister Elsie, the
nrssent Mrs. Clews, formerly Bobbie
Eoelet's wife, lives in Paris most OF the
dme, She Is a couple OF years younger
than Mrs. Biddle and several inches
,siler. never thought her quite as
nretty, but she has the same wondertul
roiorinR, creamy white and pale pink
and soft brown hair.
r THINK this women's Advisory
Council which has been added to the
Departncnt of Public Welfare by D.
rector Tustin is very fine thing. Do
Won know what they are to dor
Well. their work Is to be divided into
four department bureaus. The House
Of Correction, Browns Farm for CrlP-
Mod Children, and the Home for the
L.
~ Charities and Correction. Thirty
Gve nlaygrounds and recreation centers
will be under a Bureau Of Recreation
IeVal aid will he given those who cannot
oSord fees under the Legal Aid Bureau.
and the fourth Is to be a Bureau OF
Constructive Social Service, under
which will come 100 dependent children
and 400 destitute families whose bread
winners are unemployed.

think it's very fine that our leading
women are interesting themselves in It.

lunched. This afternoon they will visit
the Indigent:
Social things alone, as have re-
peated several times this season. do
not suffice the women of today. They
want the social things, of course, and
It Is right to have them, but they want
something worth while to do for others
