YOUTH: You are young for so
MANY serious affairs, but perhaps
you take them all to seriously
If boy wants you to do things
of which you do not approve, that
should make you decide that he is
not the one to care for. 1t is not
in the least case of trusting him.
as he knows well enough, but should
be case of having nothing more to
do with him.
Since you are not sure of which
boy you care more for, my opinion
is that neither is the one. Don't let
it worry you too much, for at | 7
how can you be expected to know :!
Be friends with them all and as
time goes on something will happen
to influence your choice if it still
rests between these same boys.

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES.
Not only in answer to your letter,
but to the dozens of others very
much the same | am quoting from
Emily Post, the recognized author
ity upon the subject of etiquette:
"a gift of more value than beauty
is charm, which, in measure, is
another word for sympathy, or the
power to put yourself in the place
of others; to be interested in what
ever interests them, so as to be
pleasing to them, if possible, but not
to occupy your thoughts in futilely
wondering what they. think about
you.
Would you know the secret of
popularity? 1t is unconsciousness
of self, enthusiastic interest in al
most anything that turns up, and
inward generosity of thought and
Impulse outwardly expressed in good
manners.
Nothing will so surely make you
have good time as giving the i'm
preston that you are having good
time mot by making forced display
of make-believe mirth, however, but
by being actively and unself- con
sciously happy
And also: "Petting is quite out
side the subject of etiquette-so far
outside that it has no more place
in distinguished society than any
other actions that are cheap, pro-
miscuous, or vulgar"
Keep on feeling as you do about
petting and the other things, and
if the boys whom you meet do not
care to go with you because of that,
try to make acquaintance among
boys who have the same ideas you
have. For there are such boys and

Savory Meat Dishes For Summer

There are many of the less usual
types of meat that can be depended
on to bring variety to spring and
summer menus, and whose potential
tiles for attractive dishes have not
yet been exhausted. Hearts. kid
neys. sweetbreads, brains and liver
all are richer in Vitamin content than
the usual cuts of meat. The latter,
since its high iron content has been
known, has won innumerable friends
for itself. And the attractive dishes
that the other meat organs can make
will be self evident by following the
recipes given below. The. variety
of methods of cooking and combin-
ing them with certain fruits and veg

Innovations In Styles Of Wedding Rings

and bachelor
The mems rings run to a conven-
tional design in one of the white
metals. Curious, though, if the sale
is on the increase, that we don't see
more men advertising their safely
married status so. However, it real
ly isn't important that they should
be worn by men, since the honest
gentleman will be Just as upright and
honorable with or without a decorat-

Some rings are still inscribed,

tials from so and so to so and So
An amusing old book, published
in an era when wedding ring look
ed like the tie that bound for keeps,
reveals thateit was a common prac-
tice formerly to inscribe in wedding
rings expressions of unyielding con
stancy. Perhaps the depth, breadth
and thickness of some of the oldtime
rings is explained in the room needed
for some of the elaborate, lengthy
inscriptions, This inscription for in
stance: 81 will be yours while
breath endures" Another inscrip-
ton reads: mot two, but one, till
life be gone"
"Posies," they called these affec-
tionate notices in the old DAYS.
A religious strain predominated
in many of the ring inscriptions of
the time. 81 have obtained whom

Not all the 'posies" bore a relig
ious flavor, however. One comic OF
the period had inscribed, Carrie

ic--just man who'd looked then
all over and found Carrie the most
eligible for his ring wearing
Not bad idea is injected into the
ring which bore this couplet:

Mrs L.: 1t is not right for your
husbands father to be with you.
Why can't your husband take a hand
in the matter? Certainly the faith
er's own daughters have more of a
duty to him than you have and in
some way they should be made to

Once in a while you'll find mod
ern bride-to-be insisting on simple
little gold band. Not often-just
once in a while. Only the exterior
of the maid is modern. At heart
she is a deep-dyed sentimentalist,
daughter of a mother who believed
her golden wedding ring a good luck
talisman.
Most daughters, however, will
have none of mothers choice nor
of her old fashioned wedding ring
sentiments. White gold and plati-
mum are the popular metals. And

in these to choose from, You can
have yours with hearts and flowers.
Or, you can have engraved orange
blossoms. Or, you can have dia-
monds cleaning the entire circle

if you are very original miss, you
may draw up design of your own

BILLY: Yes, age and nationality
do make a difference. Although you
do not say whether or not this
friend is older than you are, you
imply it.
Let him come, and see what hap
pens, After that you can drop him
entirely if it seems desirable, but
discontinue writing to him as you
have been doing. 1t is not wise.
Perhaps you do go with men who
are too much older than you are,
as your mother feels. Four or five
years difference isn't too much, but
do not choose one much older.
Your sister is but a child and |
cannot for moment understand
why your mother should allow her
to go out with you. OF course she
is not old enough. She should be

Typically British when it
comes to pattern and color is
this good-looking jacket suit. 1t
is a smart descendant of the
Victorian era, when that be-
loved queen put her stamp of
approval on plaids and prints.
Queen Victoria is very much in
the fashion picture this season;
she's one of the famous ladies
whose influence is felt in our
new fashions for elegance and
individuality.
Is a Gay Plaid
You'll admit that smartness
goes by contrast when you see
this suit. The skirt is a gay
a plaid as ever lassie wore, and
it's topped by a jacket of lovely
green. Made of crepey woolen,
a new fabric that is the last
word in dress materials this sea-
son. Two features of the jacket
are outstanding, the fact that
it's belted and that it is collar
less.
Since it's collarless, the
wearer may "dramatize" the
plaid ascot tie, and wear it IN
her most becoming manner.
The straight lines of the jacket
recommends it to women who
feel that they can't wear the
fitted types so well.
Green Is Popular
The skirt flares without be-
ing at all extreme. Fashion ad-
vocates the wearing of the green
this spring, and you couldn't go
wrong in selecting this suit.
It's yours for service and smart
ness.

Last year, it will be remem-
bered, those presented from
Washington included Miss Helen
Lee Washington, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Lee Wash
ington, and a "bud" of this
season.
Also included in the little
group of envied maids and
matrons were Mrs. Guy Despard
Goff, wife of Senator Golf, of
West Virginia: Mrs. Roy Will
liam Baker, the former Miss
Eugenia Holcombe, of Washing
ton, and Miss Vera Bloom,
daughter Of Representative and
Mrs. Sol Bloom.
Although not of Washington,
the news that Eileen Forbes,
daughter of the Earl of Ora
nard and his American born
countess, will make her bow
at one of the earlier courts, is
of interest here.
Lady Granard, mother of the
prospective bud, was Miss Bea-
trice Mills, daughter of the
Late Ogden L. Mills, of New
York, and a sister of the Un.
dersecretary of the Treasury,
Ogden L. Mills.
She is also a great niece of
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, widow Of
the late former United States
Ambassador to the Court of
st. James.
Boast Great Riches
incidentally, Lady Eileen and
her younger sister, Lady MORA,
are two of the greatest heir
eSseS of Great Britain. Their
mother inherited a fortune of
many millions from her father
and Lord Granard is one of
the wealthiest peers in Ireleand.
The annual attempt on the
part of American women to
crash the gates of Buckingham
Palace l. poured considerable
coin of the realm into British
pockets.
It has become the fashion of
British women of title but le-
pleted bank accounts to offer
their services in training the
aspiring buds" in the polite
amenities of English society.

appeared. In a New York paper
stating that representatives of
a certain English noblewoman
would arrive on this side early
this spring to sign up students
for Her Ladyship's classes.
