NOV that the season of fash
IN ion shows is under way, it's
just one round Of peering at the
latest in frocks and hats.
At the Shoreham luncheon
last Saturday (the Shoreham, by
the way, features a swell show
every Saturday noon) the out
standing sensations were two
evening frockS and a play suit.
One of the evening gowns was
in cerise and Smoke-gray chit
fon, with a hooded mantle OF
chiffon. The other was a pale
gray chiffon, with crystal beads
sewn in the horizontal tucks
which covered it. The play suit
was in Mexican colors, worn
with a white beach coat and a
high-peaked crowned Mexican
hat.

NEVER HAD A DATE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm a girl Of 16 years, and
have never had a date. I live
on q farm, and when I get to-
gether with other girls my age,
they always talk about the good
times they have. My sister OF
10 has a date every Sunday,
and it makes me feel so lone
some.
One of my boy friends asked
If he could come to see me and
I told him he might come. But
oh, I don't know WHAT to do
about it. I haven't said a thing
to Mother, and I'm afraid she
might object. Tell we what to
do, Miss Fairfax.
BERNICE.
Tell your mother, by all means,
that you and your sister have a
Joint date. Then if she says no,
positively, you can telephone or
write the young man an excuse.
But you are still young, and
have plenty of time for dates.
Let's hope your mother won't
object.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ My sister, who is older
than I am, has recently be-
come engaged to the man l
love. I have been led to be-
lieve that he returns my af-
fection. However, there are
two reasons which make it
hard for me to clear up this
situation. One is that as my
mother has heart trouble, it
might be too great a shock to
her if I break up my sisters
first love affair. She is sew
eral years older than I am.
Still, this young man and I
can see nothing beyond our love,
and we can't visualize the future
apart. I am torn between the
man I love and the happiness
of my family. MARGARET.
You say your sister has re-
Gently become engaged to the
man you love. Without wishing
to reflect on this mans stability
of character, it's difficult to see
how he could become engaged
recently to one sister while he
happened to be in love with the
other. If he had been engaged
to your sister for a long time,
and you suddenly flashed on
the horizon, I could understand
it better.
1t is difficult to grasp the
circumstances, in this day and
age, as you describe them. II
he's the super,sentimental type
the homely name for which
is "mushy"-who falls for every
girl, then you're well out of it.
I sincerely hope you'll let him
alone and not take advantage
of this weakness after he mar
ries your sister. If he is genu-
inely in love with you and you
with him, nothing could be more
foolish in him than to go on
with his engagement to your
sister.

proper time to, welcome the
guests? Or would it be better

MARIE.
IL should think that it
would be a good beginning for
the making of the introductionS
if the four officers stood in Q
group near the entrance Of the
room in which the party is to
be held, to receive the guests.
This would mean that many
of the introduetions would be
accomplished then!n And after
all the guests have been re-
ceived, the four officers could
be released" from the receiv.
ing line and, mingling with the
guests, make the other neces-
sary introductions. I agree
with you that the making OF
these introductions, for such a
party, goes better if these. intro
ductions are made as early in
the tea-hours as possible.
2. Since cruises are so much
the order Of the day, why not
have a cruise party, choosing
the itinerary Of a cruise that
seems to you particularly in

Of a group Of girls the man
ners and customs" Of a place
to be visited on the cruise. Even
if we can't travel, we love to
take a magic carpet" to
stretch our thoughts to other
places than those Of which we
are familiar! You might even
build some '"Ten Questions"
about the places, and award a
prize to the winner. And per-
haps you might like to carry
out your table decorations 10
suggest the travel idea. With
some crepe paper and some cot
ton rope you could do wonders!

plan to have the introducing

noon, rather than to wait until
the high tea is served.

I am sef-conscious about it is

barrassed over my size I don't

This is similar to a number
of letters we receive from girls
who feel they are too tall. They
seem to feel the shorter girls
are the favored ones and look
upon their height as kind of
deformity, and must forego all
the little spontaneous feminine
wileS for the dignified role
suitable to their type.
While we want to Sympathize
with them, we are a bit out OF
patience with any tall girl who
does not appreciate the ad-
vantage she has over the smaller
one when it comes to style and
grace, especially when she has
a slender figure and good pos
ture. She can be regal and
charming in the plainest clothes
and wear the finest raiment to
the best advantage. 1t is the
tall girl who is always selected
to display the really unusual
clothes on the stage and in fash

why she should curb her spon-
taneity either. The more natu-

her.

Over by my garden wall,
A row of poplars, straight and

Challenges the passerby.
Like sentinelS on a parapet,
They bravely stand in silhouette
Against a darkening sky.

Forever watchful guard they

With tender. loving eye.
No harm can come to my gar.

For loyal sentinels guard the
