But she flushed as she said

have said, her memory"
"And since then" she probed,
with a sharp stab of authentic
jealousy which she was unable
to conquer, "since then, you've
loved the understudy of that
memory, have you not?"
He did not answer. How
much was real, how much a
part? The question had tor

continue to do SO, he thought,

FASHIONS
FANCIES

Searching for gold in the
ballroom is easy, for some of
the smartest evening ensembles
are OF gold cloth or tissue. Gold
tissue makes a smart ensemble
with a three-quarter wrap with
a large self collar framing the
face and a large self bow posed
on the slanting hemline Of the
wrap. The simple frock has a
short train.
Be careful Of your bag and
see that it blends with your
new spring outfit. If your cos

why not the new plaid hand
bag? A new model is Of plaid
crepe in brown, yellow, tan
orange and red. It is a round
model and the fastening is

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax

Broke It Off-NOw Regrets
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About three months ago I met
girl with whom I fell in love.
Her age is II, mine 20. I broke
off with her about a week ago,
by telephone, as she would not
let me come over to her house
to tell her the reason Of my
breaking off. And now I want
to 60 back, as I feel that she is
the only girl I could ever care
for, but I doubt if she will let
me. I don't do a thing but think
of her continually and feel as
if I had lost my best friend.
Would you please advise me
what to do? TVTRETT M.
When lou are older, my dear
Everett, you'll realize that the
impulse which prompted you to
try to call on your sweetheart,
and tell her why you had broken
with her, was only an excuse
for a lovers quarrel which is
the prelude usually to a grand
and rapturouS reconciliation. In
other words, you wanted to-
stage a greater and more
dramatic expression Of your az
fection. But the young lady
wouldn't fall for it,"
The only thing left for you
is to write her a little note, with
l good, generous slice Of hum
BILE pie in it, and ask her to
take you back. And next time
please watch your step.

He said, slowly:

"How much of that girl did I
know, Delight? How much of
her was Mary Lou Thurston and
how much a very clever little
actress playing the part of De
light Hartford as she con-
ceived it?"
She'll have to tell you that"
Delight answered.
I'm not likely ever to see her
again." he told her.
Delight raised one eyebrow
and shrugged her round shoul-
ders under the lace and chiffon
of the little bedjacket.
"No? That wasn't the i'm

For Those Whose Birthday Is

If April 4 is your birthday,
during the coming year some
important matters affecting
close relatives may cause you
annoyance. Be careful with
correspondence, with all valu-

Avoid any unnecessary litiga-

social or artistic connections.
Important dates: Avoid ex-

risks and maintain routine
from April 4 to 25, July 2 to
8, August 10 to "a, September
20 to October l. October 7 to

show two opposing influences.
A child born April 4 will be
energetic, self-confident and de-

for you to send a gift. But it
would be gracious if you wrote
a note saying that it is i'm
possible for you to attend.
1t Would Be All Right on .
Picnic
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. Is it good form to eat
bacon with the fingers?
2. Wouldn't you consider it
very rude and poor breeding
when in company to write notes
when you want to know some
thing that you don't want the
others to hear? MRS. B.
/. No. This is terrible form.
We should never eat in our
fingers food that is greasy or
food that makes our fingers
"messy"-never, if we can avoid
it. And we always can avoid
eating bacon in our fingers,
except, perhaps, at a picnic!
2. Yes. should consider this
exceedingly bad form.
Use Your Napkin When
Necessary
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Please tell me, when a lady
sits down at the table and opens
her napkin is it proper for
her to wipe her mouth with
the napkin during the meal
and at the end Of the meal?
C. S.
Yes, we use our napkins
whenever it is necessary 20 use
them, during a meal and at the
end Of a meal. But meticulouS
eaters use them as little as
possible, because they eat with
such care that the napkin is
not necessary, as 1t is with peo-
pie who are careless.
