CHAPTER XII
Paul called for Ann at 7. He
looked extremely well dressed for
a stock man at the 10-cent store.
There was definite air about
him. His manner of greeting Ann
and acknowledging her introduc-
ton to Neddy and Teddy was
poised and self-confident. The
twins Immediately turned on their
charms. Clara was arch and coy.
The avalanche OF attention left
Paul unruffled.
Leaving the apartment. they
met Florabelle. Dressed entirely
in black, she gave the impression
Of smart sophistication. Ann pre-
sented Paul to her and her dis
dainful eyes changed miraculous
ly. AS they went together down
the stairs, she made a few throaty
comments. At the curb she
stepped into a cab. Ann vaguely
realized that a man sat in the cab.
He did not get out.

marked.
They had blue plate special at
the Toddle Shop and went on to
the theater. The picture was
clever and humorous. Afterward,
they sat for an hour in a booth at
the drug store. 1t took that long
to really get acquainted.
Paul began the conversation by
saying, Tell me about you, Ann.
You're different. How do you

misguided women who think they
can belle their size by squeezing
into tight. skinny clothes. Actu-
ally such a system makes them
look bigger instead of smaller.

too small collar, the short skirt

last straw.
At the right, we show an easily
fitting redingote effect. Notice
how the printed panel tapers to-
ward the waist. Notice the scrolls
that give shoulder width, the gen.

and big hat. And you can see from
her chanked attitude how much
poise she gains through this mex
pensive but tasteful costume.

Beauty Hints for Ailing Women

when one certainly should see a
physician. The beauty minded
women should be ever so conscious
of this fact.
For instance, it's a mistake for
anyone to try to cure some serious
form of acne either by herself or
with the aid of creams or other
preparations someone recommend
ed. The thing to do about any
serious complexion disorder is TO
see the family doctor and let him
recommend a skin specialist who,
in turn. will recommend prepara-
tons If any are needed. Self-diag-
nosis is a silly, often dangerous,
thing.

Notwithstanding the pacifying
proverb. limitation L. the sincerest
flattery." doubt very much II
many people like being flattered
by having their clothes or any
other possessions copied by their
friends any better than a certain
reader does, whose letter tells me:
Il bought q fur coat this winter.
about which ! received many COM
pliments. One friend. whom I see
frequently. particularly admired
the coat, and the first thing knew
she turned up with one exactly
like mine. VIII you please tell me.
Mrs. Post, II you think that 10 .
fair thing to do ?"
to this, the answer Is OF an ut
depends" variety. All people who
buy ready-made--or even French
modei--clothes are certain to find
duplicates of their hats or coats
or dresses on friends ~ well as
strangers. even though the former
try not to get the same. 1t might
be possible, even though she adj
mired your coat, for her to have
forgotten Its details. II. however.
your coat was made by a furrier
for yourself especially. with GER
tain details which you may even
have designed. then you have good
reason to resent the behavior OF
this friend in going to the same
furrier and asking him to copy
your coat. But II you bought the
coat at the ABc Company and
they had q long line Of coats ex-
actly like the one you bought, IL
In scarcely reasonable to expect
these coats to remain unsold be-
cause of you. or TO want your
friend TO buy q coat she does not
like. think 1t would have been
much worse II you had bought q
new cloth coat or a suit OF con-
spicuous style and this friend
bought . duplicate. Fur coats to-
day all look exactly alike anyway.
Even furs of different species OF
animals all come out of the dye
watts looking strangely like BROTH
ers.

q friend to a party as substitute,
should this fact be told her when
inviting her?
Answer: II Mrs. Blank gives out
at the last minute, you would ask
the friend frankly. will you fill
