MoCher was one In a million.
"She got job (she was a stenOg-
rapher before she married) and
she used to sit up half the night
washing and ironing our clothes,
sewing and mending, that we
might make a good appearance at

"She was never openly sorry for
herself, always made our friends
welcome, and our fathers name
was never spoken, either in praise
or blame. She said once: That's
a closed book
Gust as we girls were getting
on our feet and could have made
things comfortable for her, she
died, utterly worn out by over
work. Two of us have married
and have nice homes. The third

It seems purely a question of
choice and not one Of obligation
whether you do or don't do, fol
such a father.
If all three of you wish to get
together and contribute to his
support, it would be kind and
forgiving, but I can understand
the attitude of the son-in-law who
doesn't care to have a prodigal

Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:

had an understanding and wrote

You have got yourself into a
mess, my dear young friend, and
the way out will require courage
You'll have to write to the girl you
left behind you, telling her how
things have turned out-that
you've grown fond of someone else
and that you would like to be re

Yes, you should invite the

feel very much cleft out" If you
invite her married daughter and
do not invite her, and she would
be justified in being hurt at this.
Yes, this plan of having dinner
after the bridge, rather than
luncheon before, would be thor

GRADUATION

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

if it is proper to send very many
announcements? Should one send
to every acquaintance, or just ones

with a gift. Or"
Usually the school authorities
designate the number of gradua-
ton invitations and announce
ments that each graduate may
have.
But if this is not the custom in
your school, plan to send these
announcements only to your relar
tiveS and close personal friends.
They are the ones most concerned
with this announcement.

Styles

The battle is on to get as many
striped fashions into circulation
as possible. Marcel RochaS
started something with his gypsy
striped evening gown. Now, for
day wear, we have a handsome
frock of finely striped black and
white taffeta worn with a black
wooden redingote lined with the
striped taffeta.
On the beach this year you'll
see gray flannel Stacks, beautifully
tailored, with matching gray polo
shirts, topped by brilliantly col
ored linen jackets. Vera Borea
thought up that one.
Something new in evening wraps
is the long REFER of black lace,
meticulously tailored and bound
with black taffeta. 1t even has
four slit pockets, all bound.
