afternoon dressing was given by Mrs. Lansing, wife of the former Secretary of State, when she acted as hostess for the minister from Persia at the house. warming reception he gave last week at the new legation, 1720 Sixteenth street. Mrs. Lansing's gown was black velvet with the top formed of lovely thread lace in cream white tone, which formed the graceful long sleeves. This was topped by a rather broad brimmed hat of black velvet and the lighter tone of the toilette emphasized by large cluster of orchids and lilies of the valley, which she carried. A satin or crepe is not confined to eve- ming wear, but shows itself in the new est afternoon costuming. Mrs. Dorsey Richardson, the former Helen LeSeure, on a short visit to America, with her husband, who was formerly attached to the state department and now repre- sents the United States shipping board abroad, wore during her very brief stay in Washington a stunning gown of green crepe embroidered to the waist line in self-colored silk with touches of silver.
 Mrs. William Erie Fowler, the for mer Mrs. Edward Earle of Los An geles, just back from the latter city, but with full wardrobe from Paris, is renewing her acquaintance in Wash ington in a round of calls, for which she wears a green gown in a one-piece model, embroidered from hem to hip in harmony of color with outstanding line of gold. Mrs. Fowler tops this with the black hat with broad brim that is gaining . in popularity every week, and on leaving the house for her motor wears long moleskin coat
 Mrs. Harry Erwin, the former Miss Helen Blodgett, is wearing one of the smartest of the new green frocks, crepe weave made in long slim lines, but with considerable width to the skirt which is embossed in gold in large graceful medallions with their lines delicate as Honiton lace, which the pat tern suggests.
 Miss Margaret Harding. daughter of W. F. G. Harding, late of the federal reserve board, but now living in Boston, during her recent visit to Miss Anna Hamlin, wore a one-piece coat frock of Chinese crepe that had as it's background dull tomato red, with the overlaying threads of many colors picked out in silver. With this, the tall and fair Miss Harding wore to one of the fash ionable luncheons companies in her honor a draped turban of silver gray cloth with narrow streamer of the cloth falling to the right shoulder.
 Miss Bessie .McKelden, Mrs. Leigh Palmer's daughter by a former mar riage, the same day wore blue velvet coat suit with broad brimmed hat to match, in which she makes good her reputation as one of the handsomest girls introduced in Washington this season, while another very popular member of the company was Miss Ellen Blair. the debutante daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Montgomery Blair, who wore slim black velvet gown with tall

Dear Miss Vincent A young. man
 has been calling on me for over a year. Six months ago he asked me to be- come engaged to him and consented. believe love him and feel certain be loved me at the time. During all this time, however, he -hasl not given
 me an engagement ring, and I thought
 perhaps he could not afford it. But
 now he has joined a very expensive
 club and I am beginning to think he ' Is selfish. Then there is another point which is worrying me. The young Xman has never declared his intentions 10 my aunt, with whom I live. She ls just like a mother to me, and I
 feel that if he were sincere he should do this. Please advise me.--L. w." Of course the young man might feel
 that joining club was an asset in the
 business world, so that one might not hold this against him, even though
 he has not presented you with a ring. But in regard to your aunt-he cer- tainly should declare his intentions to her just as he would to a guardian or parent. If were you, I should insist upon this and put him to a
 test.
 Dear Miss Vincent: A few weeks
 ago l was introduced to a young man two years my senior, whom I love dearly. attended a party recently, and to my surprise he was there. Al though he had his girl friend with him, he. seemed to devote a great deal of his time to me. He also called me sweetheart several times. After talk ing and dancing with him, he insisted on keeping one of my rings, but I refused him this. Now, Miss Vim cent, am very anxious to know whether was right in doing this
 and to know whether this man cares
 for me.-SWEETHEART.p
 A young man who will call a girl qUaintance is hardly worth while. The Sfact, too, that he wished to keep your 1. ring is against him. No gentleman Would ask permission to keep young
 woman's ring unless he gave her one of equal value in return.
 Dear Miss Vincent: Although I am. but 20, I am in love with a girl one year my senior, and she tells me that she loves me dearly She also
 wishes me to write to her, and, al
 though have written many letters. she only answers mine when she feels
 like it. Shall keep on writing or shall drop her?-HOPEFUL."
 This is a matter for you to de- eide yourself. If you care for the girl, do not be too quick to cut your friendship short. Remember, it is more pleasant to receive than to write let ters!
 Dear Miss Vincent: A young man whom I have known for a long time and I had a dispute over the tele- phone. admit I was wrong in hang ins up the receiver abruptly, but his indifferent remark provoked this. Later we exchanged Christmas cards. am very fond of this man. Do you think we can still so on being friends:- ALWAYS IMpCESIVE." ..

'The disabled veterans Of the World
War owe the laws that have been
passed for their benefit to the Demo-
cratic party" declared Norman B.
Landreau last evening before the Nc
Donald Washington Blackburn Club,
but those laws have been admins
tered with gross unfairness and graft
under the domination of the Repub-

The club had as it's special guests
delegation from the Mount Alto
Post, Disabled Veterans.
Mr.. Landreau scored the discrimi-
nation and delay now found in the
work of the Veterans Bureau and de-
clared that "if the Democrats came
into power they would cut the red
tape, end this partiality and delay
and cast out corruption and graft"
He paid tribute to Woodrow Wilson
and his deep interest in the wounded
soldiers. Referring to the needs and
desires Of the veterans, Mr.. Landreau
said: What is close to the hearts
Of these veterans should be close to
the hearts of all Americans"
