to The Argus

Paris, Aug. IA variation of
the petal vogue is seen in the petal
toque. This fits the head very
snugly and comes down well over
the ears and the back Of the neck.
The chapeau is made up wholly of
very large. round, fat petals Of
velvet or taffet, sometimes shaded.
They are sewn on from the back to
the front, so that from a front
view the edges Of the petals pro-
trude q trife. Two petals meet at
the front. and their edges, sewn to-
gether, form q helmet-like peak.

yer stockings and shoes to match
are being worn at formal dances,
with frocks Of brilliant colors as
well as with those of pastel tints.
The silver sheen looks equally well
with either type of coloring.
New York, Aug. 23.-Autumn
coats for every day wear are rath-
er sumptuous, being made Of pill
able silks and satins with an espe-
cial sheen. Innings are vivid, the
coats themselves being navy. black

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am IS
and engaged to 4 fellow Of q. but
do not intend to marry until we
can have more.
Do you think I would be 1usti-
fed in breaking the engagement
since my mother disapproves Of
him because he is from another
state and is somewhat high tenn
pered? He is a boy OF very good
habits since he neither smokes nor
chews and I myself have never
heard him swear.
don't know his people with the
exception of an aunt and his sis
ter. They are very nice.
My home life is not altogether
as pleasant as it might be: While
I get almost everything l want,
am not quite satisfied.
ANNE.
You only see things from your
own viewpoint and your attitude
seems to concern what you will gel
out Of marriage and not what you
can give. You are also dissatisfied
with your home, although you ad-
init you get everything you want
Look to yourself and decide how
much love you can give the man
you marry and how willing you will
be to serve him and share joys and
disappointments. Unless you care
so much for him that your attitude
is unselfish, by all means break
your engagement.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am
deeply in love with young man
who is engaged to a country girl
He says he loves me, but does not
like to break his promise to the
girl. Would you give him up OF
not? BLUE EYES.
BY all means give him up. He
does not love you as deeply as he
pretends to, or he would break the
other engagement. 1t would not
be fair to the little country girl to
marry her without love.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
girl of IS. l became acquainted
with a young man whom / liked
pretty we'll. 1 went out with him
two or three times and then he told
me he was married, but expecting
divorce any time. Don't you
think it was honorable of him to
tell me? OF course I prompt :,
dropped him, as l am not bad
enough to want another woman's
husband.
Both he and his mother place
the blame for his unhappiness upon
his wife. The neighbors say it was
because he is lazy and won't work.
l have no opinion to express in
regard to him or his wife, as l
don't know either very we'll.
Don't you think l did the right
thing to drop him when l did?
Would it be correct and safe to
go with him if he were to renew
his attentions when he is single
again? EARL.
1t was only right for the young
man to tell you he was married
and expecting a divorce and it was
