with a bit of shirring in the cen.
ter that any woman could stitch
in. When this Shirred section was
placed in the middle Of the
forehead, and the ends wound
around the head, it made a fas-
cinating and protective cap.
In ALI COlOrs
Mary explained that she
started using it for quick cos
tune changes in the movies,
and that it drew so many COM
pliments that she now has it
in all colors for evening wear,
too. She places a jeweled clip
on either side when she wears
it out, and finds it just the
thing to keep her hair clean
and tidy while motoring, travel
ing, etc.
If you're one Of those lucky
ones who can run comb
through your hair and have
it look fresh from the hair
dresser, then this is not for
you. But if your crowning glory
requires careful coiffing to look
its best, then Mary Pickford's
device is a great help in pre-
serving those precious curlS.

Curiosity
Their curiosity is aroused by

be so smart this spring.

Deep COlOrs Best
The pale pastels seem out Of
the evening picture for the
moment. Not that they are
never seen, for they are, and
they are undoubtedly waiting
for the cue Of warmer weather
to enter again. And they will
look twice as smart when we
do take them up in earnest
again.
There's still lots Of white,
but nearly always accented by
color. Black, too, is enlivened
by silver, by brilliants, and
made to fit into the rich scenes
Of evening. But most popular
Of all are the colors that are
either dark, rich or both.
Red a FavOrite
Red is a favorite, as you
know already. And it prom.
ises to go right into the spring.
These new colors are too good
to pass. We haven't used many
Of them for a long time until
this season and, like all good
fashions, they will take their
time about going.
The new reds have either a
henna cast or a winey tone,
and it seems that the rusty or
henna reds will be the best for
the next month or so.
So we've selected a red dress
for photographing, and it is
worn by the lovely Audrey
Seiber, Of the Earle Theater.
Backs Go Square
This gown is of rough red
crepe, one of the tones touched
with rust. It has several new
features which make it decid-
edly 1884.
The square back is one, with
the buttoned-up feature at the
neck. The tiny ruffled sleeves
are another smart touch, and
the dress is beaded in impor-
tant places with cut steel.
A rather short train is on
this gown and the skirt is long
enough to touch the floor all
around.
At the beginning of the sea-
son, most women threatened to
cut these trains off, but now
nearly all demand them. This
dress is $16.95, and is in
Junior sizes. in other colors,
too.

Even One "White Lie"
May Endanger Love


A gentleman whom we shall
call Mr.. x is very much con-
cerned over a white lie he tells
me he "fell into" rather than
deliberately told his sweetheart.
Part of his letter is as follows:
I'm the most stupid way
imaginable. I have fallen into
a lie with girl whom I expect
to marry in about six weeks.
Before I really knew her well,
or had any intention of marry
ing her, she asked my age, and
as I considered the question
impertinent I told her was 10
years younger than I really am.
Another thing on my conscience
is that I have my hair touched
up very expertly to hide the
grey-and thereby hangs the
problem.
when I firssS met my fiancee,
I was pretty well down in the
slough Of despond.' had lost
my beloved wife in a most
tragic way, and nothing could
interest me. This unhappy
state continued for three years.
my firm sent me to another
city to try to get me out of the
melancholia which threatened
my reason. At the same time,
they advised me to have my pre-
maturely grey hair touched up,
as my job could be taken care
Of better by a young looking
man.
Then met the girl, who
was 20, and when she asked my
age I understated it by 10 years,
because I regarded her as an i'm
pertinent mink. Later, when I
became really fond of her, and
she in turn grew deeply attached
to me, I hesitated to tell her
the truth, because ] didn't want
her to think I could have de-
ceived her, even in fun.
This has worried me consid-
erably, and I am wondering if
I'd better tell her my correct
age, also about having my hair
touched up, before we are mar
ried. I don't think it would
make any difference to her now,
as We are both devotedly in love.
Still, I don't like the idea Of an
untruth stalking us into our new
life. What do you think Of
thiS?"
AS you say, you ''fell into"
this prevarication because you
regarded this girls question as
impertinent, and I agree with
you it was rather saucy. Doubt
less she did it to shock you into
some sort Of retort, which ,evi-
IDENTIFY she succeeded in doing.
But I'd feSs up and tell her
the truth, if I were you. A few
years do not count when a girl
is in love, and while you've not
told me your age, I take it there
can be no great disparity Of
years since "sweet and twenty"
has fallen in love with you.
If you have succeeded in
keeping from your girl the fact
that you had your hair touched
up, she must be a highly unob-
servant young lady. Girls have
terribly sharp eyes as a rule,
and they discover these little
toilette secrets about men much
more quickly than men discover
them about women.
I agree with you that it is
better to take up the new life
without these little prevarica-
tionS.

Is it proper for us hereafter
to go under the name Of Mr..
and Mrs. Stone? must confess
that lately I have been using
the shorter name, and I have
been questioned by some of my
friends as to why the change.
Am I correct in doing this?
My husbands. parents are
still alive, and we were married
under the former name.
ANONYMOUS.
This is more a legal question
than an etiquette one. If you
wish to have your change of
name legal, you should take this
matter up with your lawyer, and
through him you ask the court
for permission to change your
name. Then when and if this
is granted, you should notify
yours friends of this change.
This gives authority and dignity
to the change. Just to change
it yourself doesn't give the
change much standing.

ture. You might build your roll
around closer to the back of
your ears to fill in that one
spot. For the front, however,
feel that you are combing your
hair much too severely. You
might part it about over your
left eyebrow, bring the waves
across your head as you are do
ing, and bring a dip down on
your forehead over your right
temple and fluff it in about the
upper part Of your cheekbones.
I feel that your forehead should
be widened and the line soft
ened, that your cheekboneS
should be narrowed a trifle.

Calling Cards

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I expect to be graduated from
High School very soon and I
am wondering how I should
have my calling cards printed.
Would you advise Mary Eliza
beth Jones, Miss Mary E. Jones,
or Mary E. Jones?
READER.
None of these forms is the
one that I would suggest. You
should have Miss on your visit
ing card, and you should either
spell out your middle name or
omit it. For abbreviations are
not in good form on visiting
cards. So the form of your
name should be either: Miss
Mary Elizabeth Jones or, if you
prefer, Miss Mary Jones.
And don't have the cards
printed. they must be en-
graved. It costs very little to
have a plate made, and the
cards are engraved from this
plate. 7 suggest that you ask
your engraver to show you the
form Of engraving calle d
Shaded Antique Roman" This
is the most popular style now,
and very lovely it is, especially
for cards for young people.

it is proper or not to cut the
cutfcle. E. L.
Answer-When the finger.
nails have been neglected for
any length of time, and the
cuticle has become. heavy and
ragged, it is best to trim it
evenly. However, when the nails
are manicured regularly, and the
cuticle is kept pushed back
properly, cutting of the cuticle
really isn't necessary. #, each
night, you dip a cotton-tipped
orangewood stick in a bit of
warmed olive oil, push back
your cuticle with it, and permit
the oil to remain on overnight.
your cuticle will remain soft and
smooth, and will not need
cutting.

should not be used in teaching
the baby to walk, as they force
him to walk on the inner part
of his feet with legs spread
apart. Such apparatus, besides,
overtire the child and keep him
