very nice young man, two years

He had taken to drinking quite
frequently, but in spite of this l

would stop drinking and he did
while he was going with me.
Around July Fourth he asked
me to spend the day with him
and his parents at a resort. I
refused. To tell the truth,
don't know why l refused to go.
He has been to see me only
once since that time. We speak
when we meet and we were talk

advice regarding what to do.

a woman's privilege when she
wishes to cultivate a mans ac-

Such an investigation has been
conducted by your National Pub
lie Health Service through the
cooperation. OF its statistical Of
flee and its office OF industrial
hygiene, and is based upon the
occurrences Of illnesses lasting
longer than one week among
100 900 people in Industrial en-
ployment.
Ten out of every 100 were IL
for one week or longer with some
definite form Of disease.
Out OF every loco twenty five
had influenza and grippe.
About twenty-seven had some
other disease of the throat or
lungs and ten had rheumatism.
Diseases of the stomach, skin
and appendix figured on the list.
1t was strange but significant
that the annual prevalence Of
influenza was as great in the
absence as in the presence OF
epidemics. This would seem to
indicate that the condition Of
hygiene and sanitation in shops
was favorable to the propagation
and communication Of the infec-

plice bodices Of chiffon and skirts

trimmed with tucks and seIf-fIut- .

particularly appealing, with full.

Modesto is striking one in
white crepe, with red and black
embroidery done in round, flat
beads. A narrow band OF EN-
broidery crosses from shoulder to
shoulder just below the plain
neck and extends down the
front, ending, at the low waist
line. in a large round applique
ornament.
On afternoon frocks Agnes
makes excellent use of laces,
bordering tunics with them and
setting them into gowns, with
bands Of tucks and fine pleats.
Laces are also combined with
the new figured chiffons and
georgettes. Madeleine Vionnet
uses many original motifs of
tucks, arranging them in dia-
mond patterns all over simple
, crepe frock and making rows of
tucks concentrated on the left
hip. Printed and plain mousseline
de sole and georgette have dainty
little trimmings in ribbon belts
and short sleeves.
Bassinette. plaid taffetas, crepe
satin and foulard prints are much
favored for afternoon frocks, gen.
orally cut straight. with the full
ness introduced below the knee
in. the form of inverted box pleats.
Some have large sashes and bows
of bright MORE ribbon, often
faced with, white organdie. Lace
tunics, over gold and Silver
foundations, make afternoon
gowns that can be worn for chic
