M'LISS ADVISES Letted From the Secretary of Travelers' Aid Society Points Out Dangers That May Be Encountered A PEW days ngo a young girl from Phllllpsbure, N. J., wrote to mo for Infor mation concerning a trip to Alaska, gha also asked me If It would be safe for her to Jotifrisy thero alono. ( It was sucrt a beautiful May day. There was Joy and happiness and good ness In the very air. I could not help but think that "all was right with the world," as Browning would have It, and t told her that with certain precautions v traveling was sure for her. I forgot entirely that the world, like the little rirl who had a little curl right 1ft the middle of her forehead, when It was good It was very, very good, but when It was bad It was horrid. I likewise forgot that there exists In Phila delphia one of tho most praiseworthy organizations that has over been estab lished for the help of others the Travelers' Aid Society. Miss Mary H. Gillette, however, tho secretary of that association, In talcing me to task for not cautioning my youthful correspondent sufficiently against the dangers along the line, tcmlnds mo in an Interesting letter of tho good work tho Travelers' Aid Society Is doing. In vltw of tho fact that tho traveling season Is well nigh upon us and that the question of Whether or not to let their young daughters go forth Into the world ulono Is probably ngltattng many a mother's conscience, I am publishing the communication In full: "Dear M'Llss'-e llavo noticed In your column ono day this week an Inttulry from a young girl of 17 ns to whether It would bo safe for her to travel to Alaska alone, and note with disappointment your answer that It Is nil right for hor to do so ond that you caution her merely to write ahead for accommodations for any nights which sho may have to spend en route. As a social worker with several years' cxpcrlenco with girls, and particularly In Travelers' Aid work, I know that a girl of IT, with the best training and motives, may get Into most serious difficulties traveling alone "As you will seo by loading tho Inclosed pamphlets, tho Travelers' Aid So ciety was established In tho first Instance because no many girls disappeared on these loug trips that they must often tako alone. Thoro Is no necessity for a girl to go unprotected now, any place In tho United States or abroad, as Travelers' Aid always utands ready to safeguard a girl on any Journey. Arrangements aro made so that at any stop-over or transfer Junction she is met by a Travelers' Aid agent and cared for until time to bo placed on tho train again. This same is dono until her final destination is reached. "Wo spend to much timo cautioning parents, guardians and tho girls them selves against traveling alone, If It can be avoided, and against receiving help 'or Instruction from others than uniformed employes of the railroad and agents of , tho Travelers' Aid Society wearing tho usual badge, that wo dislike to seo a column so widely read as yours encouraging a girl of 17 to go across tho conti nent alone. We could show you case history after cuso history of girls who In nocently enough started on a long Journey nlono and who either never reached their destination or went through fearful experiences before gottlng there. It 'Is our business to bring beforo tho public tho dangers of Just this sort of thing, and tho fact that thoro Is a Travelers Aid which stands ready to prevent any Buch unfortunate happenings. "I hope that some time you will And It convenient to Issue In your column a word of warning, and If at any time another girl asks how to travel In any way you will bo good enough to refer her to tho Travelers' Aid Society, which is at the command of any who at any timo may need tho assistance that wo can give. Sincerely yours, "MARY H. GILLETTi:, Secretary." Among other startling Information, tho pamphlets which Miss Gillette sent mo state that no fewer than 50,000 girls are lost annually In tho United States, I trust that overy girl who Is contemplating a trip alono will take advantage of the offer of tho Travelers' Aid mado through Miss Gillette to safeguard hor along the lino.

I have heird that modern doctors put little otoclt In drafts Will you advise me In thla matter? Sincerely yours, .Mrs C. O. I. Horn doctors still believe In drafts. The one that I consulted In rccard to sour query, for Instance, told me that he does not consider It wise to sle-p wjth one's hond directly at tho window. It is much belter to sleep outside entirely, if possible. If this Is not possible. howeM-r. arrnnire to have your feet toward tho window. Then the air will be less likely to aecp down throutth the covers. A doctor tells me that It Is better to have a draft on the feet than the head, as there Is dancer of the wind coins down beneath the rcAora when the wind blowo over the head This Is done away with when It blows over the feet. Then, there Is alnus the possibility of catching cold or sore throat from a draft directly on tho head Dear Jl'llss The womanly woman In every normal omn. Tho mere fact thnt necesiltj. or even Inclination, forces her Into the muni tions factory, the mill, tho business office or a profession doesn't in any way detract from her femininity Some fow women aro born unwomanly not mado so by an occupation One of the most adorably feminine women I lnow emokca clearettt" and walked In the suffrage pirnrte. Why seef definitions? Really there's no d.fln 1ns "her infinite variety " ONE WHO KNOWS. Millinery Notes The ciel blue and rose pink combina tion which was so smart on chapeaux last season is seen aeala The large " floppy Gainsborough garden hats seem to require It. Water lilies, clusters of beaded popples, varl-colored grapes and fruits are popular, too. One garden hat actually flaunted large tea rosea with white stems, on which thorns were painted. "Wheat, and popples ornamented another which boasted a Paris label Inside. T Silk and Serge Sometimes a whole skirt Is made up of panel's. A silk and serge suit seen recently had a skirt made of alternate panels of the same material, radiating from the girdle In ever-widening bands. The effect was extremely smart. The coat had a taffeta foundation and a serge ruffle. Tho sleeves were clasped with dull steel ornaments. A Juvenile Mode A child's party dress was shown In a Bhop the other day and Its lines were so odd and ro smart that a word of descrip tion Is well merited The bodies was made In a quaint 1830 basque, with a square neck, filled in with soft mull The waist line was plain and marked at one side with a pink rose. The skirt had minia ture hoops at the sides, with panels of ni(Tlen across, the front and back. The material used was pale blue silk voile Economical Boned or wired petticoats aro almost necessary to wear with the bouffant sum mer frocks. One of these will serve to make the light batiste or georgetto gown stand out in the most approved lines For laundering purposes, two shirred "run ners" are Introduced on the hips of the skirt. Bones can be inserted and removed from these. Swagger Suits Blazer coats are made of striped flan nel. Skirts to match are fashioned of the same material, In white or solid color. Some of these coats are sleevelets; the wide armhole Is outlined with a band of color harmonizing with the skirt Swag ger suits of this kind are decidedly smart for seashore wear. Fancy Twine Holders Twine holders aro getting more and more artistic as their popularity In creases. There are the Colonial ladies, whose wide, flaring skirts conceal the ball of string, and the bunny, duck and quaint Jtttle houses, like bird houses, as well aa innumerable others. Over-Night Case Your party frock will keep much better In a clothes box than In a suitcase The latter musses things more or less, espe cially if some heavier object, like a hair brush Is In the same receptacle with the gown. It Is better to stuff the frock well with loose balls of tissue pape'r and tie It Into the suitcase with the small strings at either side of the case Mohair for Afternoon Black mohair Is smart for afternoon wear. Trimming Is slight on this sort of frock. One style seen recently featured row upon row of white machlne-stttchlng for the only trimming. Russian blouse lines in this material aro followed to good effect.

There seem to be many questions In tho minds Of various persons In re gard to tho proper way of entertaining formally at dinner, when guests should arrive and the many other little matters of form which are such small things and yet mean so much. Guests should always arrive at tho time fixed or a few minutes later, never beforo tho hour and never later than five minutes afterward. Tho guests should bo assigned to the dressing rooms ap pointed, ono for tho women and another for tho men. Tho hostess receives the guests In tho drawing room. If the din ner Is a large and formal affair, a grace ful way of assigning dinner partners la to wrlto a woman guest's name on n card and place it In an envelope and direct the cnvelopo to ono of tho men guests. Have theso envelopes placed in tho mon's dressing room, so that each man may know who Is assigned for him to tnko In to1 dinner. It was usual somo years ago for a man to offer a woman his arm to tako her Into dinner when It Is nnnounced by the butler to tho hostess, but this Is prac tically dono nway with. Somo porsons, howover, still adhere to the custom, so It Is well to watch tho host, who always leads tho way with tho woman who Is given the place of honor at his right hand, and If ho offers his nrm to escort her to tho dining room, tho other men should follow his example. Aftor dlnnor has been served It Is tho hostess' place to riso and return to tho drawing room, tho other women following. Sometimes tho men remain to smoke.
