NORTHAMPT TON, Mass,
Jan. 19. What was regarded
by investigators as the most
promising clue IN the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of Miss
Frances st. John Smith was
shattered today when word
came from Troy, n. T., that
the girl resembling the missing
college freshman, who regis
tered at the Hendrick Hudson
Hotel, was Miss Pauline OrSh,
New York city cloak model.
Studied Radical
Troy police had been in COM
Snunication by telephone with Miss
Orsh, who was at Troy Friday
night, returning to New York on
Saturday.
It was learned today that Miss
Emith had been studying the works
of Achille Orsi, Italian sculptor,
who early in the last century pro-
tested against existing conditions,
particularly the manner in which
schools and colleges were con-
Quoted.
Coincidence In Case
A strange coincidence was the fact
that. like Miss Alice Corbett, Smith
College junior who vanished two
years ago, Miss Smith disappeared
on Friday, the 18th of the month.
When the 1S-year-old freshman
went away she was hatless and with
out money.

How to Protect Clothes From Dust

fastener used. This type of bag
has been found to furnish ideal
protection against crushing and
seems particularly adapted for
dainty dresses and evening gowns.
1t is, however, more difficult to
make and takes more space in
the clothes closet.
Covers to throw over garments
in frequent use may be quickly
and easily made. Material about
one yard square is used. Old
sheeting may be utilized. A
bound button hole is made In the
center for the hanger hook.
Complete cover bags with rec
tangular frame at the top with
hanger all its own may now ne
purchased. A rod inside the bag
provides for the hanging OF sew
eral garments on their own hang
ers. The top frame keeps the
bag from crushing the garments
and a slide opening makes the
removal of the clothes a simple
matter. Tie closing is tight and
prevents the entrance OF dust or
moths.
In storing winter clothing, bags
made from heavy paper in lengths
for coats, suits or dresses may be
purchased from clothing or fur
nishing stores. These bags have
been prepared with tar product
and so not only protect garments
from dust and light, but also
against moths.

When Manners AreC Correct
BY Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

even depends on the theater and
on the performance you are to
see.
5. Yes, IL she wishes to, and IL
he wishes to have her, and IL
the family invite her. If a boy
is~ fond of a girl, and il he has
fine respect for her, the most
natural thing in the world is for
him to ask his family to invite
her to come with him to meet
them. Indeed, a well-bred girl will
wonder why he doesn't, IL they
are especially good friends, and
if his family live in the same
place or near. Such a visit has
no special significance, except
genuine friendship and sociability.
s. When they become engaged,
the young man naturally tells his
family at once, and his father and
mother call on the girl and her
family at once. AS a matter or
fact, this call should be made
within twenty-four hours after
the news has been told to his
family. 1t is best form for the
mother and fathers to come to-
gether to the young lady's home,
but, if it is not convenient for his
father to come, the mother should
come and should present the
fathers welcome, too. This is
most important cali, and 1t should
be most punctiliously done. 1t is
reasonable that it is important,
when one considers that the girl
Is being welcomed into the family
of her fiance.
z. Yes! The girl is going to
college to get an education-pre-
sumably-and she must prepare
lessons and carry on all the other
obligations of the curriculum. She
should, therefore, not be allowed
to have so many outside distrac-
tons. even If she Is engaged to
the young man. Usually this
kind of problem Is provided for
by the authorities OF the college,
for such immoderate social life
naturally interferes with aca-
demic work.
8. Not unless she is engaged to
him. For girl, especially a girl
in college, who, since she is at
tending college, is reasonably in
dicating that she has manv things
on her mind for her life-plans,
to limit her friends In this way Is
not sensible. OF course, If she IL
engaged. that IL "a different

MO, a woman does not assist a

That is of course, unless he is
