she cried. ELSA will never be quit as
lovely as you are No she will not"
This as Mrs. Milburn began to protest
a pretty blush showing in her cheeks.
The sole reporter of the Eagle was
there. glaring at the empty chair where
his rival should be seated.
The contestants were all attractive

of course. were young girls, but there
were few older women and among
them Mrs Milburn stood out like a
flower.
Flushed daintily in her excitement.

place where it is hooked. Continue
such hooked work, making the loops
close together and from IS to Il inch
long. The work is quickly done. The
effect is like the novelty loop trimming
seen on natty sport clothes that bring
high prices
An imitation Of the hooked trimming
can be done with the crochet needle
and wool. Crochet few rows OF
single crochet. Then at every second
or third stitch, according to the close
ness Of the work that you wish, make
loops and take them into the stitch
The loops are made by winding the
VorSted three times about the forefinger
Of the left hand. Slip the crochet hook
through the loop and draw the stitch
through. Such trimming is fine for
infants crocheted sacks and bonnets,
as II is very light and as soft as down.
This trimming may match mate
rial in color or be in a contrast Gray,
white. black and tawn are favorite
shades that will go with any costuming
Hooked trimming is surprisingly light
in weight. II is a further DEVELOPMENT
o. the fancy for handsome woven in1i-
tation fur, which is remarkable in its
reproduction OF the genuine. 1t is easy
TO see that ctinchilla is the underlying
idea for this novelty hooked garniture
In making preparation for the
Spring wardrobe, such trimming may
well be included. To mention II now Is
to bring it 70 mind in time TO have IL
planned and complete by the time when
il will be needed. It is often used in
smart garments to take the place Of
Summer fur.

The Mans Complaint.

Here's man in my column again,
His name seems to be Fred. and his
trouble seems to be acute. Says he:
THE trouble with the modern women
is that they read too many books.
That's at the root of all the modern
tragedies.
"A girl nowadays reads story about
some slinky adventures. and thinks
she can get away with that role too.
Or she hears that some fat little yamp
can make men spend millions OF dol
lars on her-and she tries to get her
own sweetie to soak away all his week
salary on one party.
She gets the idea that because girls
In books travel around in high-powered
speed cars. she ought to do likewise.
So she begins 10 kick about the family
flivver. Or she gets 1t into her head
that her beauty isn't appreciated. she
hasn't enough admirers. And she
throws over the old faithful she's al
ways had. just 10 get lot o. new men
hanging around paying her compii-
ments.
Usually she fails At least I know
one who's going TO. My girl Is SO
hopped I'D with lot OF facts she got
out OF trashy books. she's decided Tn
practically not in her class. / think
YOU ought to write an article advising
Young girls TO keep away from fool
books, until they're old enough 10
choose between good and evil"
Sad case. isn't Il? But Fred reedn I
take Ii to heart so terribly.
He's perfectly right in saying that
girls like TO be heroines OF fascinating
stories.
They love to imagine themselves as
"slinkv" charmers. naughty vamps. iT-
resistib.e sirens. and they often do take
steps 10 carve out such careers 'or
themselves.
But you'll find that most girls want
To do the conventional thing. They
want to be conventional heroines.
OF course they want their big parties,
their high-powered speed cars, their
Ave or six proposals. That's normal.
Hardly girl lives but hopes for Just
one glamorous period OF life In which
several men at once are breaking their
hearts over her.
But when that phase passes. the
modern girl wants 10 be different KIND
Of heroine.
You know there are an awful lot Of
popular books In which the leading lady
is a charming. exqu!sitely dressed young
wife, with the background OF a dainty
home.
Make believe the modern girl doesn't
want 10 play that role, too, Make believe
she doesn't throw herself into the buS!-
ness of being a really attractive wife.
with a beautiful modern baby II chic,
modern home.
Why. they all fall for that stuff
sooner or later. And when the urge
comes 10 play leading lady IN the
pyettiest domestic show ever staged.

10 look around for the old faithful who
loves her. and who Is perhaps we'll

Don't get sore because your little lady
