why must she be too modest and retiring and "maidenly"- to speak of he home she expects to share with him some day? Their future is just as much the woman's concern as it is the mans. If their love is built on anything lasting, on anything vital why should the girl be so coy about it?
 We live in an age of great frank ness Sometimes we are all tempted to think that it is far too aII-reveal- ing and open in its manners and cus- toms and conversation.
 But suddenly we find ourselves facing reticence that belongs right back in the haircloth sofa days of mfd-Victorian period
 A girl will give a man her lips and hesitate to tell him whatsis going on in her head. A man will take a woman into his arms and fear to tell her what dreams he has in his heart when she lies against it.

 In the unexpected there is ever a pleasing piqCancy, and with flowing sleeves and a deep ruffIe of exquisite cream colored lace to form an all liance with O frock of black chiffon the result is far and away more at tractive than mere uniformity could possibly make it.
 Lace wanders over the border of accessory land. and develops dainty collars and cuffs and so forth and so on. But one of the most at ractive things it does is to fashion for evening wear a scarf so wide and so long that it almost deserves to be called a shawl Simple as the frock may be, such a shawl is sure to lend it an elegance extraordinary, and when worn with an all-black gown of velvet or satin striking indeed is the result.

Advice To The
 Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. An Authority on All Problems oI Girls and Questions of Love
 and Romance.

How is a girl to know whether or not man is sincere when he says I love you ?'' asks Mabel.
 Then she goes on to tell me of a man who spends six evenings a week in her socety and who has but who has never said a word of marriage.
 Sometimes I'm positive he in tends to ask about marriage. Maybe he thinks it isn't necessary to speak of it. Still when a couple love each other, don't they usually speak of the Some day when they will be to- gether? I keep asking him if he loves me. thinking that will lead him to, say something that will let me know for sure. But never word of anything of that kind does he say. Can you explain such a man ?' I can't explain such man any | more easily than I can explain suct a grill
 Do you know the old, verse: He either fears his fate too much. Or his deserts are small, Who dares not put it to the touch l To win or lose it all."
 There's a vast amount of truth tn that bit of verse.
 The truth becomes doubly sure when two who love each other per | init themselves to remain such strangers that there is so little frank ness as this between them Perhaps the man takes things for granted Perhaps he feels-as most | fine men do-that love leads to its own consummation, to marriage and | a home- Perhaps-no more frank

WHEN TO POWER

A cynic might say when he saw the expression 'when to powder" that woman need never be told anything of the sort, as she usually uses powder on every possible occasion Which isn't quite fair.
 And yet trade statistics show that there is much more face powder be- ing used than ever before But this is probably the result of the high wages following the war winch made many girls able to afford little lux uries hitherto impossible Doubtless 1t is due also to the fact that girls are starting to use face powder years earlier than they used to-
 have had letters from girls II and 12. asking how much powder to use and what shade-and it seems to me. from a casual observation in trolleys and crowds on tho street. that every girl in high school and most of those in the upper grammar school grades. are using powder-and usually too much of |.
 Really. you know. one medium sized box of face powder should last almost a year. It's only use is to take of the shine that will come on the skin under certain conditions. and that we no longer consider either pretty or permissible But a little powder after the morning wash. and little more around dinner time. is all that any woman needs-unless she happens to be dancing or exer- cising so that her skin is particularly active. In that case she will need to use powder more than twice n day As a matter of fact. a plain chamois cloth will take that shine from the skin almost as effectively as face powder.
 And no girl under IT or IS should use powder She really won't need it; she need never use it if she doesn't want to.
