edge Of the faith you place in
her.
This dating-too-young prob
lem has been hashed and re-hashed,
due principally because children at
fifteen and sixteen believe they
should be allowed to have dates with
bows, whereas their parents, who
see them only as little boys and
girls at this age, refuse in most
cases, to allow them the privilege.
Now, in my estimation, this is all
pretty well out of proportion. In
the first place the youngsters get
the idea that there must be some
thing very wicked and dangerous
about making friends with boys.
Thev become curious about what
1t can be that causes their parents
tn forbid them to talk and laugh
and play with the boys they see
daily in school, the boys with wnom
they are being educated.
And. of course you can see, that

plan is bad. 1t is always the thlng
that is forbidden that looks most
delectable. most enticing. And after

Young girls should be brought up

friends and interesting companions,
not as some secret vice that must

If these youngsters are refused
the privilege of entertaining their
friends in their homes, the result
will be deception on their part to
get out of the house to meet the
boys and worse than all that, q

between a boy and girl can mean.
Here's a little girl who has, with
her parents, managed pretty well to

Once Popular
Princess Line
appears Again
By FRANCES PAGET
su!zv5eIV IssM s,u5mOM

81 UHltCt Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE dock
ing of an ocean liner becomes par
t1cularly thrilling at this season, for
those who have made the trip 10
Paris expressly to attend the PARIS
openings are returning. The opinions
Of these professional stylists are
eagerly sought, and the secrets they
have journeyed so many miles to
learn become secrets no longer.
The temperance of the princess
silhouette is one of the highlights
of the mode. Its re-entry, at a
time when velvet has the stellar
role, is a further indication that the
smart world is ma moode for a GER
tain decorum of modes, if not o.
manners, and bears further testi-
mony that elaboration and luxury
have become the scale by which
chic is measured.
Has Wearing Qualities
Reserving the right to reverse de-
ciSionS is one of the unbreakable
rules of that mysterious source from
VIII 14AdoAlAOIlo lIOW. mus IL may
be taken that because the elegance
OF the princess line has been adosd
to rather formidable list of sill
houettes, it by no means implies that
one must forSake all others and
cleave only to that one.
The princess line. supplemented
by short jacket, fur or otherwise,
is a new expression of the ensemble
and one which merits praise not
merely because it is new but also
because it is a wearable type of
costume; more kindly, as is the way
of most fashions to the maid than
the matron but not impossible for
the latter Importance"
The richness of velvet, and it
must be remembered that there are
several varieties of velvet and the
richness of fur are a blend few will
care to resist. Tendencies to revert
to the stand-alone-variety- fab
ric, so praiseworthy according to the
late VictorianS, are contradicted
somewhat by the use of wisp like
velvets usually termed transparent.
The rapidity with which the lat
est French novelties appear in our
American speciality shops speaks
volumes for these firms.

come from women. OF course, their
