The woman who wears stockings
all summer long has no idea how hot
they really are! Most women took
up the bare-legged fad during the
war because of the shortage in
hosiery. Once having discovered
how much cooler it is without
stockings, 7 amsgine most women
will cling to this habit during the
hot season.
Naturally this behooves us to
groom our legs carefully. There is
nothing more unattractive tnan a
hairy leg, or a white one. beneath
the lovely pastels and whites OF
summer clothing. Today we have
so many aids with which to accom-
plish tinted, snoothe, stockingless
legs.
There are many effective. easy
to-use depilatories which will ban
ish hair on the legs. Years ago
these had a most unpleasant odor
remember once when I had one OF
them on my.l legs to remove hair, my
brother entered the room. He
jumped back partially stifled and
said, What is that on your legs2''
I answered, Something to take the

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am widow with
g daughter who will be 19 in October.
She thinks she is in love with boy
who has just turned 18, and I am
perfectly sick over the whole thing
because I am very anxious for her to
finish college But she feels that
there Is no reason for her to study
further because she has found the
One and Only.
She has never gone with many
boys, so how does she know whether
she Is really in love or not? Aside
from that, is boy of 18 old enough
to face life and the care of wife
and. of course. children?
Do you think 1t will be right for
me to keep hands off and let her go
ahead and , marry this boy? Or
should I tell her that she must finish
college; then. If she Is still in love
with the boy, she can marry him'
II try not to consider myself too
much, but I need her so dreadfully
to help fill the gap that the recent
death of her father has made.

Answer: I am no advocate of child
marriage. Human nature being
what it is, every marriage is
bound to be full of hazards, for it is
no easy thing for a man and woman
to adjust themselves to each other,
even when they are adults and have
had some experience of life. But for
youngsters, who are growing and
changing every day and whose char
acters. dispositions and habits are
still uniformed. marriage Is fool
hardy risk that even a plunger
should hesitate to take.
Girls mature two or three years
younger than boys do, SO your
daughter who Is nearly 10 may be
ready for marriage, but certainly nc
boy of 1s is. He is not prepared to
accept the responsibility of mar
riage. Except In unusual cases, he
has no means of even supporting q
wife. Sure as shooting, as soon as a

married and the novelty and excite
