DEAR NANCY LEE:

nEAR NANCY LEE:
~ We are two girls who are
steady readers OF your column IN

come TO you for advice.
We both have steady fellows,

while with a few others, and we
might be termed modern girls"
we are respected by young and old.
We y through school and max
ing our own living. The greatest
question IN our minds Is how 70
tell whether or not a boy means all
he SAYS. We are devoted 70 these
boys. They have told us OF their
love for US q number OF times. and
even asked US 10 wait for them. but
still there seems 70 be O. doubt In
our minds whether or not they are
speaking from thei- hearts. IL ~
absolutely impossible for rs to give
UP these boys because III whole
life depends on them.

TO that problem. But where there Is

granted. and 50 II Is wIsest to as
sumo that that love Is true. lasting
and real until there Is reason 70 Be

WHETHER it be evolution or revolution,
w we do not know, but the fashions Of
yesteryear seem to be descending on US
in increasing numbers. Designers are finding q
mine of inspiration in phases Of various modes
of the past. The Empire, Directoire, Victorian,
and even the ancient Grecian eras have been
studied, and various details of the costumes ex-
tant during those periods have been cleverly
utilized and blended with the ultra-modernity OF
the current mode with a touch of incongruity.
And so we see, off-the-shoulder decolletages,
draperies, princess gowns and other fashions
featured in the dress parade, and all of them
are charming and lend a refreshing variety to
the scene.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-07-16

We have had sketched for you to-day several
new trifes. Among them you will find two
fashions reminiscent of other days. The first is
the shoulder cape which in this case is Of black
b~roadtail, and we feel sure that this delightfully."-
demure touch will be welcomed by many women
who seek the picturesque. The second is of
course the sailor hat, that style that is SO in
ordinately becoming to the youthful and piquant
type. This sailor Is made Of heavy straw in a
weave of brown, tan and black with a blue band.
Other items include stockings Of striped silk
and wool, excellent for sports wear, and three
exceedingly good sho models. The shoe Of brown
and tan calf has a strap and buckle trimming
that is purely ornamental, but the broad strap
on the white kid slipper performs a strictly
utilitarian purpose. The oxford is in brown PIN
seal and tan kid.

few things that are more annoying
than the salt cellar that refuses TO
