OF ninteen or twenty years Of age being
discouraged and having nothing to live

what she would do had she reached the
awful age OF forty without having met
her mate?
Yes, some Of the readers Of your
column may call me an old maid. But
what Is an old maid? Does age make
YOU an old maid? I don't think 80.
I think 1t depends upon ones dtspost-
tion al to whether she Is an old maid.
I am fairly good-looking. with n wealth
Of pretty dark hair and big brown eyes
and a elight girlish figure. I have a
fairly good education, but am not much
Of n conversationalst on first acquaint-
ance.
am sad and lonely and I know
there are some really nice men who
are lonely, too. because they are In
the same position l am They never

would like so much TO meet friend
OF my own age or a little older. one
who would understand and care. Yes.
7 am capable OF loving and giving as
much as girl OF twenty.
wonder why there lent some way
or means whereby older men and
women could meet and possibly be
happy.
What shall I do?

"Pshaw,' says the modern hat and
costume, but 1t doesn't express any
irritation, for it spells its ejaculation
shah and 1t conveys a bland pleas
ure in having fulfilled the latest de-
mands of fashion. These demands are
for Persian fabrics, Persian rmbroider-
les and Persian details of line--and If
the present sort OF thing goes on verify
the shah of Persia himself was never
arrayed like one of US.
In todays model this influence is
shown in the Persian embroidery OF
platinum thread and Nile green floss
which are the most arrcsting details Of
trimming on black rep frock. Hem
and neck line are defined by a looped
line Of platinum stitching. and the panel
formed by the side fullness of the skirt
extends its sway TO the COrsagc through
the services of three rectangular pieces
of white chiffon inset and stitched on
with the metal thread.
The cuffs Of this frock are especially
significant OF a coming season when we
may look to this detail for much of the
novelty afforded. -,.'~'
