Dear Martha Lee: want you to help
me please have , relative d who no. h Ses
which is next week. Now Miss, Lee, my
husband has been out of work, all summer
the clothes to attend either.
Now don't want her to know that we
are IN 5e4e as Se doet an get
Be mad at me, am afraid. Now. what
can I do about this2 WONDERING SUE.
The situation does, present Diff
ficulty, but I believe you will be
more satisfied if you do not go fur
ther into debt because you fear your
relatives opinions. To make the
trip would be doubly expensive, as
not only your fare, but new clothes
would be, as you say, almost neces-
sary. Therefore, I would not at
tempt that part of it.
AS for the present: You would
probably be unhappy if you sent
nothing. Why not then, send some
thing simple and quite within your
means? Don't have the fear that
it will not be appreciated. 1t will at
least carry the substance of your
conviction that you have done the
sensible and right thing under the
circumstances.
"Agnes" was married when six
teen and now finds that her hus-
band, man who had previously
been divorced, is making an unsatis-
factory husband, She says he OBJ
jects if she as much as goes SWIM
ming with women friends, but he
himself goes out and stays late
whenever the spirit moves him.
They are heavily in debt and cred
itors worry me to DEATH" she says.
Your letter is certainly a good
argument against the marriage of
girl who is only sixteen and cannot
properly judge the wisdom of SO i'm
portant step. It does not seem
like fair play for your husband to
object to your going out with your
friends, but If he cannot see this,
there is little use in antagonizing
him. Perhaps when a little more
time has elapsed, and you are bit
older, this situation will change.
Lonely" has been corresponding
with a young man in Ohio for some
time. His brother and sister have
questionable regulations and her
parents object to her going with
him. She says, however, that he
has always been very gentlemanly
to her. II know I could never love
any one else" she writes. would
you advise me to give him UP when
it is not his fault about his brother
and sister?" she asks.
AS he is away in Ohio at this
time, and as your parents admoni-
ton applies only to your actually
seeing him, why not continue to
write for the present and not worry
about his relatives regulations. If
he Is as fine boy as you think.
your parents objections will grad
ually go down. I am sure. No, his
relatives regulations should not be
visited upon him.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The Ameri-
can country club becomes, each
year, more the place to look for So
ciety's smart summer fashion shows.
The latest sport outfits always ap-
pear first at fashionable seaside re-
sort clubs. SO do summer evening
gowns.
But of all feminine attire that
makes its debut into society on the
country club lawns, the afternoon
frock is the darling of them all.
This frock had its inception with
the growth of the country club
habit. 1t is neither a formal nor yet
a strictly informal gown. 1t is
usually a dainty frock, more often
with long sleeves than short, suit
able for bridge, tea or other parties
on lay afternoons in drowsy August
or sitting Indian summer.
Certainly the airy grace of chif-
