. TREND OF FASHION

"A recent fashion show held by forsnoet American styIa creators emphasized certain of the prevail ing fashion tendencies, established silhouette and lines and pointed to the growing popularity of colors whoSc vogue is expected to continue throNghout the spring and early summer. Igsf
 5AS was to be expected. much at- tention was given to suits of boyish lines aId in these yhere WAS . noticeable tendency to choose hair line striped materials and covert mixtures.
 Thss costume suit was not lacking. A cost of three-quarter length was worn oversa skirt of the same ma terial,. topped by | tunic blouse of silk in . shade that c0ntrasted with the C&at and skirt.
 Very little navy blue was shown. A marked preference was revealed for brown in all it's color variations. The vogue of brown extends to mill inery and to footwear.
 A color that is expected to domi- nate the modes of spring is powder blue. particularly becoming shade because of it's grayish tones. This was chosen again and again for the models exhibited. At the present moment four of the leading New York shops are devSting their entire window space to materials as we'll as to hats and frocks of this most entrancing shade. 4
 One of these. costumes is illustra- ted. It is of the semi-sport type and is developed in powder blue flannel. Touches oof white silk braid edged with black stitching trim the sash and tie, and pockets are bound with braid. A wide tuck is placed just above the knee.

COURTSHIP DAYS
By BETTY VINCENT

S"Dear Miss Vincent: I am young girl in college deeply interested in a chap three yaers my senior. Although he pays me marked attention, writing me love letters and sending me flowers, I have proof that he goes with another girl Could you please advise me what to do? PERPLEXED-N. T. G."
 Do not wear your heart upon your sleeve. Consider the young man a good friend but do not take him too seriously.
 Dear Miss Vincent: Although I still attend school, I am in love with young man who is very bashful. He realizes this himself. but fails to over pOsite sex. How can I help him to be natural and act as if he were with a bunch of boys when he is with the girls? My girl friend attended a party and her boy friend brought this bash ful. young man along. but if another chap had not brought him know he would never have had the courage to go. Please suggest some way for me to help him. JERRY" You are most kind-hearted, am sure, but the young man will have to over nome this bashfulness himself About the only thing you girls can do, is to start every converse tion for him and make things as easy as possible. Bash fulness is often a case of Over-developed egotism. The moment person can forget himself long enough to be inter- ested in others he will cease to be bash

. 7 v Z When I receive letters from the many readers of my column, one of my chief interests is to study the letter itself, its appearance and contents, for some in dication. of the characteristics of the writer. s
 You would he surprised. girls, to know how clearly yoh reveal yourselves in your letters. First. take their ap- pearance. When receive letter writ ten on an unevenly, cut or torn piece ct ijaper. plotted or blurred, l assume that the writer is carefess and untidy in her habits. t@ t*
 Some correspondents take two or three pages to introduce themselves n slow. ral..bhng way. and about the last page come to the real point of the let ter. I wonder if they do this when they send a letter of application to a prospective employer. No wonder they do not get the good positions they feel themselves entitled to.
 If you are not there personally to Egive an impression the only way one has of judging you is by the appearance and contents of your letter. Paper Is cheap, erasers cost little and ink cer- tainly is no serious item of expense. Why, then. is it not possible for you to write letters which are first of all neat in appearance This applies not only to your personal al<eorrexpondence. but to business letters as well. The letters I receive from various firms certainly do not speak we'll for the vast army of stenographers and typists whom l aim to assist. Erasures. blurs. uneven mar gins, corrections, dirty typewriter type. poor punctuatiOn---any number of small offenses that indicate carelessness on the part of the stenographer. whose job is supposed to involve attention to such details. psf
 If you're writing a letter of applica- tion, this is particularly important. Your prospective employer judges your appearance (f you are absent) by the appearance of your letter and the chances are small factors which have no real bearing on your ability to fill the job, make a big difference in your opportunity. tm
 Make brevity one of your rules of let ter writing Say what you have to say in as few words as possible, to make your meaning clear, It has been well said that letters oft proclaim the man." os4,

HUSBANDS LADY

 Now that women are sharing so equally with men in the matters of the business world, don't you think it is almost time that they get little more consideration in their own world ?
 II am talking about the women who stay at home and have to content them selves with domestic laurels and the praise of one man rather than. the pfaudits of many, and who in most cases don't even get that consideration.
 Il am still in the twenties, do my utmost to keep myself attractive and alive and as we have no children, there is nothing to keep me from being my husbands pal when he is away from his office, which I have tried, but un- successfully, am afraid. 2

marriage circle? Do you think my at ttitude is wrong or rightw F. l would say that this couple is drift ing apart very. very fast, and unless they come to some hAsic agreement their ,matromonial craft is, most likely to go on the rocks. |. 1 venture to, say that if this man Aknewy that his wife had friends whose I company she enjoyed apart from him and without his knowledge, there would be great upheayal. Strange to say, most men can forgive in them selves the very acts that they would find inexcusable in their wives. That is the way of men.
 Oh, yes, we are striving for equal ity in the sexes. as is we'll noted at every 'weman's club meeting, hut the standards by which men and women are measured are still at considerable variance.
 In cases like this. what is sauce for the goose would make the gander sick. And if there was more equality, that Is, if every woman were to have the company of other men for friends, apart from her husband, the average family would soon find itself in hot bed of high temper and misery. f Of course there are exceptions. But the general rule is that when people are married their friends are usually made or developed together. And when they drift apart and choose to g0, their own separate ways the mar riage becomes one in name only. There is happy medium. however. If a man enjoys other peoples com pany, d wife can join him in having it, and vice versa ; but just aA soon as both play at the same game to spite each other, at least one of them is bound to suffer.
 The worst fallacy that some men en- tertains is that all they have to do is to provide for wife and there their obligation ends. They have forgotten that they have sworn to love and hon or her as well, and the practice of seeking other women in order to stimu- late them can only be taken to mean that they no longer love and honor their wives, or at least they may be temporarily attracted.
 The thing to do in such cases would be to ascertain that the husband does not regard the wife as pal and a companion any longer and then the two agree to so their separate ways in a thoroughly honorable inaner. No woman these days who can possibly support herself can tolerate merely being boarded by her husband and be a r'glorited housekeeper.%
 Of course. when children enter into proposition many mother makes sacrifices, but certainly q young wom- an need bear no such humiliation. Sometimes a vacation will settle the matter and waken either one to a re- alization of their relationship. The thing to do, however, is to have thor pugh understandink.

CHAPTER A

l Marian went into her fathers room and closed the door behind her. She moved softly. although the physicians had assured her that the sick man was not conscious of anything that was going on" about him. Noiselessly the girl placed chair close by the bed and seated. herself upon it. The windows were . wide open, and she shivered slightly as the outdoor sounds penetrated to the silent chamber. Life was going on just as usual all about her, yet her father lay here stricken, i'll. perhaps. never to speak again. l She must not think of that possibil- ity. sfe reminded herself fiercely. The day was not cold. but she leaned forward and ufled the covers over the sick mans shoulders. Then she looked steadily at the closed eyes, the sag ging lips.
 This was her father--yet she had never before seen this expression on his face. The dark color she had observed this morning was gone. What she noticed most now was the pained expression about the forehead. as if. in spite of seeming uncOnsciOusness. a painful thought was struggling in the numbed brain. It hurt her to see it.
 Dear Dad.'. she whispered softly. ''Dear Dad! They tell me that you cannot hear me-but perhaps you can. l am right here--I. your little girl who loves y6u. Try not to worry. dsar!"
 Tears sprang to her eyes. She brushed them impatiently away. Lois might cDS; she would not.
 The face on the pillow did not change-unless the expression of pain grew more pronounced The girl told hreself that she only fancied this She must not let herself go again. But she must face facts. Her father would not be able to go back to the office for some time to come. even if he recovered eventually. Dr. Hagen had said bluntly that he doubted if James Horton would ever be well again. If the specialist called in con sultation this evening agreed with him, what them"
 There might be weeks of invalidism to meet-weeks when life must go on on without the man who was the head of the household.
