0F course, there are women
~ who cling to the softly
feminine negligees In spite OF
all that Dame Fashion may say
to the contrary. but the majority
of women have discovered the
solid comfort that is embodied in
the more masculine styles. There
fore, one sees lounging robes Of
silk shirtings in gaily colored
strips made on strictly tailored
lines.
There can be no doubt but that
the tailored models are by far
the most practical, for they can
be laundered at home instead Of
making frequent trips to the dry
cleaners. Add to this the fact
that they are most comfortable
and you have the answer to their
increasing popularity. Then. too.
they are the most logical gar.
ments when one is travelling. for
they fold into small spaces and
do not crush.

ADVICE FOR

Is there such thing as being
too sweet? Even though hon

ing him?
Here Is a letter on the subject
from Sweet Girl:
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX;
Il have been going around
with some very nice gentlemen,
but there is one In particular
about whom must ask your
advice.
Jack II q perfect gentleman.
He has plenty of money. = beau
tiful car. and when he takes me
out he certainly does everything
under the sun to show me
good time. Not only that but
Jack respects me In every way.
He has fallen deeply In love with
me and wants to marry me.
Although he has asked me
hundreds OF times II care, /
have never once said love or
like him a little. To tell him /
could never love him would
break his heart. and feel sorry
for him, 30 I could never say
that. / have sent him away sew
eral times because he was too
serious. but he always came back
within a week.
"Shall / tell him I can never
love him or like him although
1t would break his heart? I
thank you very much for your
attention and your answer"
/ know yon mean to be very
sweet and kind to Jack by with.
holding the truth from him. But,
ask yourself whether, II you were
in his place. you would not prefer
to know the truth rather than
build false hopes.
The sooner he realizes that you
do not love him and never can
love him, the sooner he viii turn
to some other nice girl for consola-
ton. And that will be best for all
concerned. But be very sure that
| you do not care for Jack, my dear,
before you tell him frankly and
! positively that he hasn't chance.

WE are living In an outdoor age
WV Ian era of athletic sports.

1t may almost be said that good
sportsmanship is the modern sue.
cessor Of chivalry. This general

generosity in losing and winning,

modern life, including romance.
Just what is the influence OF the
Knirit OF sportsmanship on friend

love do better than follow ideals
OF sportsmanship II 1t would prove
lastingly happy and successful?
''Ali is fair in love and war"
NAV have been the prevailing
motto in romance of others days.
But today is not the slogan !!
Athletics. and clean sports call for
q generous winner, a graceful
winner. a graceful loser and ac.
cording to the code of sportsman
ship, trickery Is unthinkable.
More than one really happy,
lasting romance has resulted from
interchange of visits between
rival school teams for the purpose
Of friendly contests. But still
more directly Is romance affected
BY the spirit OF school athletics.
Sportsmanship causes you to
admit it when you are in the
wrong in. a quarrel with your
sweetheart. and to generously for
give and forget when you are In
the right. Think how those quail
ties help courtship.
1t isn't sportsmansIip, girls, to
accept gifts and costly attentions
from one man, then give your
dances and absorbed interest to
another. Nor is ii sporting TO
break a date with one man just
to flatter another. A man who
Invites a girl out, then ogles at
other girls or flirts with them is
poor sport.
Above all, the spirit of sports
n1anship Is the spirit of Garry

when it Is once begun! It is the
spirit that wins success out Of

Why Do People Buy
Worthless Securities!

Is it because they are misled? Is it because they
are hypnotized? It is because they feel sorry Tor
the promoter or the salesman who takes their moneys
These questions have recently been answered BY the
foremost authorities in the country. The various
States having Security Fraud Laws and Blue SKY
Laws have Security Commissioners who enforce
these statutes These men have answered the above
questions and their answers uniformly along this
line.
People buy worthless securities because they want to
get rich quick Their desire for enormous profits
and their lack of fundamental knowledge regarding
investments make them quick to bite at the bait
offered by swindlers who know human nature.
The Better Business Bureau cannot change human
nature. We can impart knowledge regarding Sc
curty ventures and give the facts to those who
want to make money, but do not want to buy worth
less securities There is no charge or obligation for
the services Of our organization.
