PRINTED ENSEMBLES FOR SPRING

silk Coats and Printed
Ensembles Lead Mode
for Spring Wear

A THOUGH the changes in
"A the spring mode are slight.
they are undoubtedly important.
while color and fabric enter
largely into the question, the
principal difference is In the cut.
while tailored things are still
popular, there is softness and
fenlininty In this seasons mode
that has been lacking for a long
time past. The importance Of
the ensemble remains and IL
accented by the materials used.
Formerly we considered a dress
and cost as an ensemble. Now,
it may consist OF three or four
pieces, or again 1t may be but q
jacket and a dress. And this
point IL carried still further In
that the ensemble Is not complete
unless the proper accessories
accent the costume.
illustrated at the right is one
of the latest ensembles Of printed
crepe. This consists OF q dress
and one OF the finger-tip length
jackets. The dress features the
smart side dip and the collar and
deep cuffs of caracul add a dis.
tinctly different note. This par.
tlcular costume Is developed in
dark blue with chartreuse design,
and the fur used il beige caracul.
At the left is one of the silk
coats which are rapidly returning
to popularity. Note the straight
lines and the soft scarf collar, ty-
ing in a soft bow on the left
This is developed in black gros-
grain, which seems to be In a
fair way to becoming one of the
most popular materials. Perhaps
the rage for MORE has influenced
this trend.
Such a coat with a matching
gros-grain hat makes a charming
outfit. especially when worn over
one of the CAV prints.

81 have been going with a fel.
low for about two years, off and
on. I we went together steadily
for eight months, then went
away for three weeks. During
those eight months, we were to-
getE1er at least three or four times
q week. But since ] have re.
turned, he seldom comes to the
house.
'sIis friends and mine tell me
he still cares for me and often
speaks of me. My friends also
tell me he just stays away be-
cause he knows it bothers me.
But / can't see it that way.
when we are together ne
seems to enjoy my company and
/ his. Do you really think he
does care? Do you think 1t is
true love when fellow stays
away Just because 1t bothers the
girl? Shall / write him friendly
note inviting him to come to the
house? Or do you think t is
best to pay no sattention to rim,
and that II he really cares he
will come back? He knows he
a. perfectly welcome to come to
the house at any time.
II hear he has made the re-
mark: NO girl is going to have
any strings on me- What does
that expression mean? l will
appreciate your reply"
The clue to your problem,
Broken-Hearted It seems to me.
Is the remark your friend Is aid
to have made: mo girl is going
to have any strings on me-"
Whether he actually made the
remark is unimportant. His indie.
pendent attitude-his remaining
away from you-announee to the
world that he does not care to
be tied to any woman's apron
strings, to borrow an old.fash-
Toned phrase.
That indifference liz characteris-
tic Of the independent modern
young man--until he falls in love.
Then he entirely reyerses his
philosophy and is only too eager
to bind himself with the perma-
nent tie of marriage to the One
Girl. 4
Young men and women are
quite likely to fancy themselves
In love numerous times before
they finally settle down to serious
enduring affection. During the
eight months you and your friend
went about together, he may have
fancied himself in love with you.
Or possibly he was merely en-
joying your companionship with
out any intentions.
Then when he broke away for
q few weeks, he realized he was
not in love and dreaded above
all else being drawn into serious
affair--possibly an engagement.
That is why he is staying away.
He chooses not to become en-.
gagged and Is afraid to go about
with you steadily lest you may
take him seriously.
Wise is the girl who does not
take any young man seriously,
except as platonic friend. until
he proves he is stalking himself and
her seriously by his proposal of
marriage. Dolb1y wise is the girl
who refuses to pledge herself to
accept attention and friendship of
one young man only while he
makes up his mind whether he
cares for her.
Doubtless, your friend likes you.
In the friendly sense, he cares.
Positively, he is not in love with
you, my dear. If he were he
could not wait to tell you so and

Hitched mp for life is the flared
skirt of a crepe de chine chemIse
when attached to it's bodice by in.
tricate fagotting. Lack Of other
trimming makes this almost a
tailor made model. The top fits in
a snug manner and fastens at the
side.
Lots OF dog can be acquired by
wearing an amusing froek OF
printed crepe. Dogs OF every size

and a plated skirt.
Pearls take mud hath. and ap.

These bronze pearls are very ef-
