Dear Madam I nm a young man of twenty five and hae been In loe with n girl of twenty for more than six months. I have called on her onco a week for nearly a jear. hut she never will allow me to speak to h-r of love that Is, In a personal way. Hhe tilks of It In the abstract, but that she and I might loe each other Is not allowed to como Into Ihe conversa tion. What would ou adilse me to do? I am making a good salary and rould support her comfortably. I sin sure that Is not the reason why she puts oft the Idea, for she knows she would be well looked after and tenderly cared for What would jou do? KARL. I think, my dear Karl. I would force the Issue that Is, I would make the young girl listen to me If It Is at all possible. If not, and Bho still fights shy of a talk on such matters, write her a letter and tell her that you do not want to bo left In doubt any longer and ask her fairly and squarely If she will marry you If she still avoids nn answer and Is flirtatious and foolish about It I think I would look about me for another girl as a possible wife. A girl who trifles continually Is not liable to make a good helpmate. Perhaps It Is only shyness on her part and she Is only waiting for you to show ou are In dead earnest. A girl Is not per fect v sure a man loes her until he has told her so. l'erhaps Bhe. too, Is anxious. Widower's Dilemma To the Editor of Woman's Pane: Dear Madam My wife dld In June and I am about to bo married again. Is It good form to send out announcements, or do sou think be cause my first wife has not been d-nd a year it would ne peuer io lei me news arirt out rather than announce It? M. D. E. As It Is not very usual for a man to marry In so Bhort a time after his first wife's decease, perhaps It would be better to have the second wedding quiet, but It seems to me that your duty to your new wife would require that you acknowledge her to the world by means of some an nouncement either In writing or in the society columns of the newspapers. The Self-Centered Girl To the Editor of It'omnn'a Paae: Dear Madam There are a great manv persona in the world who are very aelflsh. They are always all-Important and live and look Inward Instead of outward They do and say whatever pleases them most whether It Is right or wrong. Now. this question of right nnd wrong may be reduced to tho almplest of problems. For In stance, one day thero were two well-dressed girls having luncheon together at a fashionable reataurant. and one of them said: "I really don't know which to do this after noon, go with you to the movlea or go home.', "(lo with me," her friend promptly decided. "Well. ou see. It's the mald'a day out. and mother said If I could arrange to come home early she would be able to go to Mrs. Hank's tea. I really should go home, but I'm Just crasy to see Mary Plckford. and anyway, mother can go to a party some other time. Come on. my dear, or we'll be late.

Tho knowledge of what li'i loss would mean to mo was enyeloplng mo llko n pall. "Oh, Jack I" The words were more llko a cry than a greeting. "Margaret I" I could hear his gasp of surprise. "This ht good of you, dcarj but aro ou sure It Is wlse7 Where aro you phoning from? Your home?" "No, from a drug-store booth nearby." "That's all right." I heard him give a llttlo sigh of relief. I could not quite fathom his reason for thinking mo unwise to telephone lilm I knew, however, that his objection wns In some way part of his general plnn to protect me finm any pos sible nngcr of Dicky's by eliminating him self from my life "I suppose jou received mj' letter7" Ills calm voice steadied me f felt ns It I had been on tho eige of hjsterla. "Oh, jes, Jack, and I nm so upset nnd mlsetabln over It. I , cannot let j-ou go over there. Whj jou may never come back !" "Don't j-iiii ever think of it." Ills voice wns gaj-, bantering, but I who bad known his every tone and Inflection since baby hood recognized the strain benenth the gajetj-. It was ever Jack's way to think of himself last "I'll como back riding a charger up nioadvvav. with a sword uplifted and Vic toria rroNses and Legions of Honor spilling nil over the place. I'll see that j-ou get a front seat on the reviewing stand, and you can turn up j-our nose nnd say, 'I knew him when ' " "Please, Jack, don't Jest about II " I was fighting hard lo keep my voice from betraying the tears which threatened to choke me every Instant "It Is awful, your going this waj.

Ills words lifted the weight from m.v lieait that had settled there when 1 first read his letter announcing his Intention to Join the engineering corps In France with his friend Calllard "You aro so good to tell me that, .Tack." I said gratefullj-, "but t must see j-ou, somehow, before you go " There was a long silence at the other end of the wire. I knew Instinctively what it meant. Jnck was fighting a battlo with himself.

A Valentine for Cicely "Ri oni.V, I'm going to be shamelessij frank and nervy," announced Clcelj'. doubling herself up on my old Flemish foot stool I was Just beginning lo wonder what was about to happen when she continued: "Vou always glvo me something pretty nice on Valentine's day Last year It was a bottle of expensive perfume, and the year hefoie a wonderful fan. I hate awfully to ask you, but then I know you'd much rather give mo something I'm plnln' for than Just a surprise gift now, wouldn't you?" When I had assured Cicely that I always wanted to glvo her things she wanted she beamed up at me and said "I saw a per fect love of a pink crepe de chine nightie In the shop when we were looking for, slips the other day I went back to buy It, but. need less tn add, they want as much fnr It as T pay for most of my frocks. Now, I thought that maybe you would mnke me one exactly liko It for my valentine. You did such won ders with the slip I know it will only take half the time to make the nightie." I promised to buy the materials that very dnv and have the longed-for garment fin ished before it was time for her to go back tn school. Cicely trotted downtown with me to the shop nnd pointed out the "love of a nightie " It was unusually dainty In style and coloring An empire creation of palest shell-pink ciepe de chine of an excellent nuallt.v frills, ribbons nnd roses. Just the kind of n nightie every girl ought to have when the goes a-vlsltlng. I bought a pattern nnd made the ncces sarv alterations In it beforo cutting out the crepe do chine, for which I paid tbe extrav ngnnt sum of $2 25 a j-ard. But as It was very wide nnd of a very heavy weave. It wns really economy. To make tho short-walsted bodice portion of tho nlghtrobe I finely band-tucked a band of tho crepe de chine long enough to encircle Ihe waist. I sewed the ends to gether and attached narrow shoulder straps of the crcpo de chine Then I cut j-ards and j-ards of frilling, nnd had the edges picotcd. I used It tn trim the flowing sleeves that barely made an effective trimming for the shoulder straps, and I edged the square decolletago with a single row of frilling. Tho long skirt of the nightie Is quite full about the hem and has a few soft gathers at the waistline. I trimmed the front with a little shirred pocket edged with frilling, and trimmed this with tiny pink nnd blue French ribbon rosebuds. Then I handstltched the hem In place nnd drew a band of pale blue ribbon velvet about the waistline, tying the ends In a bow with very long ends at the back, I finished the sash ends with clusters of pink nnd blue rose buds and trimmed the bodice front with a bow'not of pale blue velvet ribbon and tiny boi. ,uets of pink nnd blue rosebuds This particular nightie Is quite the love liest "valentine" one girl can give another girl. It is a much moro useful gift than flow ers or candy. , Mrs. Mathon had to leave us a few days on account of a dance frock for Claire Bel. den beforo she went on her annual visit to her unele, "the Senator."
