But often a formal daytime

the best type is the one illus

You can see that the front of the

This type is better fashion than
one with many uneven points or

The best length for evening is
almost to the toes. Not trailing

be uneven-ankle-length in front

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 20 and have taken out
only two girls in my life.
Not because 1 am a cheap
skate, but because few girls in
terest me. Their foolish &C
tions and talk bore me-maybe
there is something radically
wrong with me. The girls I
like are real girls, who are just
their natural selves. The other
day my sister had a girl at
the house to whom she intro
duced me. They work in the
same store.
I had to go to that store
lately and was more than at
tracted to this young lady. I
cannot afford to ask her out,
as am not working at present
and have to help take care
of the family. Under these
circumstances, do you think it
proper for me to continue my
Friendship with this girl?
BIG BROTHER.
1t would be quite proper for
you to see the girl who at
tracts you from time to time,
especially as she is your sis
ter's friend. There are likely
to be many opportunities Of
meeting her in your own home.
All girls are not so mercenary
as to expect young men to
spend money on them when
they cannot afford it.
She Loves a Poor Man
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am % years old and engaged
to marry a wealthy man of 80.
I have known him for four years
and have never loved him. Lately
I met a poor man Of about the
same age for whom felt I
could give up everything, but my
mother says that after a little
while I'll tire of being poor and
begin to hate him. My mother
says he will hate me, too, be-
cause I will be eXtravagant and
hold him back. Am I right in
