In order to send a package' abroad It
is necessary to write to the man to whom
It Is to go and ask him to forward jou
a written request signed by a major He
must request the articles you are tend

shipping space, i:ery inc,h of It Is sc
valuable, and as the men can buy
dainties In the canteens over there, it
Is no hardship for them to be deprived
of dainties from over here. I know It's
interesting to bend the things, but this Is

I forgot everything, then. I Just knew
that Tom loved me. And I him. And
wo had started out fresh, and clean, and
true. And I felt like the .story, and "so
they lived happy ever after."
When Tom said good-night, I hated to
have him go. And yet I was glad to sit
alone a few minutes. And realize that
I Sara am this happy person with this
great, undeserved Joy In her llfj.
I sat still. And I did not hear mother
come Into the room. So deep In dreams
was I.
But mother, when she saw me, Just
said, "Sara dear," and nothing else. She
must know. Yet I am sure that she
feels that this first hour of my love Is
too sacred for words. ,lnl' the gos
samer wings of thought can touch It.
I kissed mother good-night .softly. And
I climbed the stairs 'to my room I
looked Into the tiny mirror at myself.
Can this be I? Why,,tt, Is a lovely
person? More than that, It Is a happj
person.

VF LATU.' after a whole day spent In
looking over the new offerings, or
after visiting various luncheon, or tea
places where one Is wont to see smartly
gowned women, I have wended my way
homeward so disagreeable and melan
choly that I have felt every one must
move away ln terror. After having sev
eral of these attacks I tocyk myself ln
hand, as It were, and, strange as it may
seem, discovered that it was navy blue
that had got on my nerves.
' Some of the women who have the
reputation of being "up to the minute"
in things sartorial are beginning to take
the first step to get away from navy
blue. At a recjent gathering of smartly
gowned women It was a great relief to
see only a sprinkling of navy blue
dresses, the majority of these women
having chosen foulard or chiffon. To
be sure, the background of some of these
materials was dark blue, but these were
but few and scarcely noticeable because
of the print In white or tan which re
sembles what Is known as chatn-llght-nlng
effect.
Foulard Is without doubt a strong fa
vorite, especially for afternoon and semtf
dinner frocks, and the most violent de
signs (.eem to be considered the best.
At any rate, these are the type that
are used to construct the smartest new
f i ocks.
I am slipwing yen an example of the
chaln-llghtning prints today. In .this
instance the material Is voile, and is
shown with a background of navy blue
as well as the new pastel shadings. This
model Is enhanced with beads and has
a collar and wrist finishings of organdie.
Broad ribbon is used for th- gffdle.
Large hats similar to the one shown
today are the verysnewest In hats. Very
little trimming is used, the style depend
ing en the size and cut of the brim.

His Conduct Puzzles
Dear Cvnthla Having read your good
advice in the paper, I wish to ask you in
reference, to mv case I um a girl of eight
een and am rnlng with n ountr mnn of
twents-two. He has been caning ort me
for nearlv a year, but 1 do not seem to
understand him
Ho was a civilian when t firt met him,
but a few months ago he enlisted In the
naval reserve. He wlshet me to promise
him I will not accept tr attentions of
other. soung men while he Is away, and
even desires me to give up my girl friends,
for he thinks If I go out with them I will
becomo acquainted with other soung men
He never speaks of marrisge. however. He
continually gives mo good advice and re
quests me not to frequent cafes or like
amusements, ns It will bo of no benefit to
me. He rarely falls to keep an engagement
with me. I reff.ir,! htm t rv htrl,1v nn,t
would not like to have his attentions cease..
um. i wiiii ly Know in inia; xjo sou resilv
think he loves jne or Is just selfish? Hoping
vou will soon answer so I will know how
to treat him when he calls. PnOGT
My dear little girl, you will be very
foolish If you permit the sort of thing
you tell me of to continue The young
man may love you he probably does
but, like a number of other young men,!
he does pot realize the position In Which
he places you by not coming out honor
ahlv and asking you to marry him, or
If he cannot marry now for want of
money, at least he can talk with you
and ask you to marry him after the
war. when he can earn more money.
If he did this and you were engaged
to him, he would have a right to ask
you not to have other men call or escort
you to places. Otherwise, he has no
right to demand that sou give up other
men friends. As to requesting that sou
give u.n sour friends among the glrK
engaged or not, he has no right to ask
cuch n sacrifice of you, except It be In a
specific case, where ho knovvi the girl
not to be a good companion for you.
When next lie calls tell him plainly
Sou feel tiiat he lias not the right to
makn these demands on S'ou ; that you
have never given him that right bv
promising you would marrs' him, and
only under thoe conditions wouid he
have such rights. If he still goes on
as before, you had better break the
friendship, as It would be a needless sac
rifice to keep from all other associates.
It seems to be quite evident that thee Is
a difficult disposition to deal with, If
nothing more.
Leave the War Brides Alone
Dear Cjnthla Having read our sensible
advice In our paper. I wish to ask sou
a few questions Last Sunday I was in
vited to a parts by a boy friend. When eve
Arrived ncanv alt of the bos were accom
panied bv girl friends, Amont them was a
war bride who looked somewhat lonesome,
and 1 Inquired whst her trouble was. She
ilnfnrmed me that 1 reminded her so much
of her "hubbv," ns sh tailed him t danced
a few times with her and sfter that I
could not rid tmsolf of her. When It came
time to go home, soe refused other vscorts
and waited for me.
Most of the company went the same
wn and ve had a lolly time going home
Whvn we arrived at her house I was about
to leave when she asked me If we could
meet again I hardh knew how to answer
berauso she had told me she was a war
bride.
However,' I promised to see her again,
more to get awav than anj thing else
.Vow. I never like to break an engagement
or have one with me broken, so what wou.d
vou advise mn to do? I am also, ln the
service of Itrfcle Sam and have n few dass
left before I go across, r.ease Inform me
If it would be right to see her aga n. She
also asserted her husbind and herself were
not hs frlndlv as thej should he and she
n.),... h.ara frnm him Iter famllV Seemed
to like me and asked me to call again be
fore I leave. ' , , I
Hoping vou will give me some good ad
vise, ua jou have given so wra niwri I
I nni A isOI.Dinit liOr IX DOUBT.
Don't see the girl ngaln. Your nice,
frank letter tells me you are too fine r
boy to be a party to a flirtation with
the wife of a man who Is not there to
protect 'his tights. That is what this
little war bride Is looking for a flirta
tion. Perhaps It is tiue that she and
her "hubby'1 do not get on well to
gether. I would not be surprised If this
was one of those hasty war matches.
But that Is no reason why -ou should
smirch S'our own clean record paying
attention to a girl who Is married. It
will not seem ungentlemanls- to break
the engagement. Just send word to the
poor, foolish little girl that s-ou will be
unable to keep the engagement and hope
vou have not Inconvenienced her b
making It. There are so many fine
women in the world, soldier boy, and
one of them Is waiting to make sou
happv some dav. Think of her, and
the thqught will not be a bad one to
carr.v over the seas. Uood luck to s'ou
and God bless sou !
Girls Want to Be Sweethearts
Dear Csnthla T was happy to read the
letter from Sunshine In sour column I
think It will serve as a warring to girls
whose only thought is to fall In love with
rf man in uniform the moment they see him.
T I have known some cases like the one
Sunshine mentions, where men in thefserv
Ice who wro married did not tell the
girls and posed as single men for a long
time I do not think It is all the fault of
the men They think a girl eipects them
to act foolish over them and doesn t "n
Joy herself unless they are saying soft
things to her. If girls would brace up and
let the boya see they ran lx- real good
friends without desiring to bo sweethearts,
both the boss and girls would be betjer off.

If thes' will consent. If others know ot
