I almost wish It were hard- er then 1 could forget myself But I 'am lucky and thankful to have it. I shall ptove mjself so competent, so thorough, that my position shall be sure. It Is a good aim, at least, I I can hardly believe that, for a whole Uear. t was a girl not a worker.

To this purpose we find it necessary to dis continue our children's wear, hence this most won derful closing out sale of all our boys' and girls' apparel.

If jou want the value of vour money and In thse days It Is a very careless shopper who does not Insist upon receiving It you must look first for quality Between a poor quality of silk and a good quality of muslin, there Is no choice Forget the "feel" of the silk you won't enjoy It long If It Is of poor quality and spend your money for a muslin that can resist the minis trations of a laundnss. Certainly there Is much to appeal to the eje In the silk underdress, whether It be exploited In satin. In crepe de rhino or In chiffon. There are excel lent qualities of wash satin, of crepe dc chine and of chiffon that appeal In every garment. However, the cotton or nainsook petticoat has not by any means been relegated to the background, for the shops do show them, many lovely ones and we do wear them, for even while women have silk, they look to the cotton petticoat as the "bread and butter" part of their petticoat outfit. Be It a cotton or a crepe, this year's petticoat Is a bit more narrow In width than those of last season. With this nar rowing of the petticoat and the thin materials which are favored for the sum mer frocks, the women often face the problem of transparency. To overcome this, the makers of summer dresses oft times put a foundation or petticoat of i-atln or heavy silk. This permits the wearing of as sheer a petticoat as one might desire to wear and Is a far more sensible Idea than having the upper part of the silk petticoat of heavy cotton, to say nothing of being cooler for warm weather. It pajs to buy a petticoat with good quality of lace If one desires a lace ttlmmed skirt. There are, however, numerous models that have proved popular which are adorned with em broidery and othtrs relieved only with hemstitching. I am showing you today two designs One petticoat Is of pink crepe de chine with geometrical design, carried out in lace inseition. A lace edging matching the Insertion forms the flounces Blue satin bows held by pink chiffon roses are placed above the flounce "at Inter vals. , The other petticoat Is of pink satin with the deep flounce scalloped on the edge and embroidered with pink silk Ask Florence Rose If oil H!lt to know wh're th ro tumc fktihcit In toda dre;s talk run Iw deiuret.

Again I felt the slow color rising to my temples. "I didn't mean to say that, at all." "I know jou didn't," said Tom. "You aren't that kind. You would never boast, like Jeanne, of your captures " So he vvas not engaged to Jeanne ! In that moment my heart gave a great bound. I felt as If I could stand up and shout out with happiness. For Tom, of course Because I hated to see him tied to that selflsh little wretch. "Oh, Tom," I said, "I'm so glad "' "So glad?"

For the last eight months I have been en gaged to a oung man now In the United stntes navv Tlefore becoming engaged we bad gone together for four vears. or from the time I v.ns fourteen and he eighteen Now I have not henrd from him for more than a month I know his shlo has not left the country, for another friend of mine gels msii rrguiariv rrom a nov on tbe same snip. t bnve written twice, and as I have re celved Po repU- I di nor Intend to write until I hear from him Tin sou think T am taking the right course?

If jou are engaged to this young man and have been for eight months and also have had no quarrel nor reason not to bear from him. It follows there must be some rea son whv j-ou have not heard I think I would have jour friend ask the bov to whom she writes, without referring to vou.

It seem a little strance to me that vou should he so willing In nnlv a month's time tn go nut a number of times with one other man It would bp nil right If jou went with several, but not one special one, you see. I would write another letter to vour nance and ask why he has rot written He mnv bo on the seas, jou cannot tell; and the men are undergoing enough without having to suffer from misunder standings with the women they love. When They Smile at Him Dear Cvnthla Can jou tell me how to " ft girl? All tbe fellows have them but me. Wbore I work there are lots of girls who smile at me, but I don't know what to tell them or how to start talking with them. Please tell me what to tell them when thev smile at me. IN HAItD LUCK.

The next time any of them smile at vou, smile back and say good morning or hello or something like that.
