yearS-for the last three quite
regularly. In fact, last Decen-
ber was the anniversary of our
engagement, which was not
publicly announced until May
or June. Our marriage was set
for the end of the school year.
Then there would be the school
vacation. After that, she in
formed me she wished to teach
school.
This naturally created a d.
vision between us: I wanted to
be married. She was in no
hurry. 1 told her if she per-
sisted we might as well call it
quits" This had no effect on
her. She has accepted, how
ever, several gifts from me
which I would like returned, as
I had given them to her under
the impression we were to be
married.
What do you think of her
attitude? Should she return the
gifts when requested?
R. s.
Candidly, If the young Lady
wants more time in which to
make up her mind, during
which she will teach school,
and, if you are unwilling to
grant that time, and she is in
different at your refusal, I
think you two have settled the
question. And you've settled
entirely within your rights.
AS to the return of the gifts,
including, of course, the en-
gagement ring, you're entirely
right in believing she is not en-
titled to these things, since they
were given in expectation of a
marriage, which appears now
about to be called off.

The Beauty Reporter

A D recent novel beauty show
given at a smart society lunch
con, debutantes chosen to repre-
sent flowers, carried the bl01M1O
they represented, and their
makeup accented the resem-
blance. Everything from a vio-
let to a passion flower had
place in the procession. and it
was remarkable to note the
power of suggestion.
Flower perfumes also convey
a suggestion, but far more
Subtly. They never say "Don't
you see the Similarity" But
they do give those who wear
them a pleasant sense Of recog-
milton of their likeness to
flowers.
Distinctive flower scents for
the past few seasons have given
way largely to perfumes that
smell of musk, to most unusual
combinations of odors, and we
have taken them without pro-
test. Because any woman could
most all of us did, and one
exotic scent after another
reached a new high in popu-
larity.
But these fashions" in per-
fume defeated the very purpose
of scent, which is t oexpress and
even glorify individual person
atty, and now that women are
again seeking flower perfumes,
I hail them with delight. They
add an intimate, idealistic touch
that no woman can afford to be
without.
One clever manufacturer is
presenting a series of new
flower scents-eSpecially appro-
pirate at this spring season.
These new perfumes are par
ticularly lovely, each true to
the spirit of its flower. For
instance, the camellia, one of
the most popular and beautiful
flowers, but practically scent
less, has not daunted these
clever manufacturers, who have
evolved an Interpretation" of
the odor which you would like
the camellia to have, and it is
a lovely scent. Any romantic
brunette with very fair skin
and blue-black hair, using this
scent, will seem more charming
than ever.
Generally, when perfumers
are so imaginative they are not
very practical, but the makers
Of this particular line of per-
fumes have also evolved a new
type of container-a petite
globe Of delicate glass on a
square onyx base, equally
dainty, that is really its stopper.
To use, you unscrew the globe,
then press its tiny opening
against your ear, or hair, or
wherever you want it, and ex-
actly the right amount of per-
fume comes out. You can hold
the open globe upside down and
it won't spill. Thus the tempta-
ton to use too much perfume
or to waste even one drop is
forever baniShed.
These tiny spheres Of frag-
rance are magical in the CLAM
our they add to the user. Just
imagine a fragile blonde en-
hanced by the delicate scent Of

She Has Even Lent Them
Money
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Three weeks ago, I met a
very good-looking young man,
who plays in an orchestra, of
which I am assistant manager.
In spite of the fact that I've
met him only four times, he
seems to have changed a lot.
For instance, he paid no atten-
ton to be at first.
Perhaps it was because I was
going with one of the other
fellows. But the third time
we met, we went out and had
a marvellous time.
Here is the riddle. The last
time I saw him at orchestra
practice, he not only failed to
speak to me, but was noticeably
indifferent. AS if this were
not enough, the whole orches-
ira seemed to share his aver
sion to me. I am not aware
that I have done anything to
offend. Quite the contrary.
I've always tried to be helpful,
even to the extent of lending
some of them money. What
shall I do? SALLY.
It is quite possible, my dear
Sally, that you have made the
mistake of letting your en-
thusiasm master your discre-
ton. Take this for instance.
1 fail altogether to approve
your lending these young men
money.
I really cannot understand
why they should let themselves
in for such a thing. That is a
definite indication of bad
taste on your part, if not
worse. In short, I think you're
being too good, certainly too
generous.
Perhaps you would do better
to have your intimate friend.

First Few Davs
Decide Dog S
Future
By LIZ HUME

If you are the new owner Of
a dog that has not been in
your possession since he was a
puppy, you will have to devise
some scheme for making friends
with him, if he is inclined to
be a little distant and uncer-
tain.
The very first important step
is gaining his full confidence.
Once this is done, nothing else
is necessary. With the easily
approached dog. this is a simple
matter. But with the distantly
inclined animal, it is a much
harder, much slower and more
tedious task.
Give Him Time
A dog not inclined to be
friendly at first, should not be
noticed and fused over at once,
as a means of gaining his re-
spect. He should be left alone.
He will come around in time if
he has the opportunity to size
up his surroundings. There is
no special hurry-so give him
time.
If he does not want to make
friends with you from the start,
simply place him in com.
Portable place where he is Sc.
cure from escape, either a room
of your house, a shed, barn or
a kennel. Give him a light meal
and a dish of water and then
let him think the matter over
for himself, by himself.
Food and Quiet
Go to see him occasionally
and merely speak to him. When
meal time comes again, feed
him as before and give him
change of water. If he has not
eaten the first meal, remove it
and place a fresh dish of food
in its place, preferably of a diff
ferent kind. Then speak to him
alone again.
Do not bring in all your
friends and neighbors to see
him. That is one of the worst
things you can do. Only you
and the regular members of
your family who are to be close
ly associated with him should
come in direct contact with
him the first few days. Too
many faces around will be dis
tracing and confusing to him.
Dog Will Respond
Very soon, you will be able
to stroke him and when he de-
sires to follow you permit him
to do so. Put on his collar
and take him for a walk around
the neighborhood.
Only as a dog is moulded at
this period can he be expected
to develop. Hence the type of
dog an owner moulds is de-
termined entirely by his method
of handling the animal from
the very beginning of their &C
quaintance.
