It Is nulte true, you have heard It a
million times, but It bears repeating as
many more the silhouette Is slim and
straight. Th's does not mean that your
skirt must be a "hug-me-tlght" affair
In fact, that la not the Idea at all of
the new things. There must not be any
suggestion of the form beneath.
The hip measure Fhould be a guide to
you. If you have a hip measure of
forty-eijiht, don't attempt a skirt with a
forty-eight hip and a yard-wide hem,
for If you do you will find you have
not gained a stra'ghf rilhouettc, Your
hem must be In proportion to your hln
measure ; and If you f illow this you will
not hae to worry about the baggy skirt.
Kor the women who nre not thin
there are' many ways of avoiding the
stra'ght two-piece skirt. The draped
skirt very often proves a life-saver, al
ways with the drapery on long lines
and never bunched. This should never
be attempted In wiry, stiff materials, hut
always In a texture that will fall In soft,
graceful folds. The tunic. In nil of Its
various adaptations. Is another means of
acquiring the straight silhouette and
still adhere to the rules of the 1918
fashions.
There are the apron tunics, the spiral
and untven effects, as well as the
jstrarght tuniC3 of different degrees of
length that prove very helpful. One of
the short tunic dresses Is shown today,
but this Is hy no means Intended for
the short stout woman, who should re
fraln from any model which has a ten
dency to cut her figure at the knec3 or
above.
This dress is developed In georgette
crepe and may bo purchased In the va
rious colorings, as well as white. Over
tho straight foundation hangs the knee
length tunic, finished with a hem and
three tuck3. Patch pockets tucked to
match the tunic are placed on either
side of the front and decorated with
buttons.
The vestee and the deep, pointed col
lar aro features which should hu inter
esting to the woman who desires to hae
the straight lines carried out on the
bodice.
said Miss Sanderson, "and one of the
most precious In the work of reconstruc
tion. That In why it Is necessary to take
only persons who have succeeded al
ready as instructors. Tho required age
of an aide la from twenty-five to forty
years."
Then she emphas'zed the message t6
the women, "Only the trained and ex
perienced need apply."
Oxford Still Smart
In style the oxford Is of first" impor
tance the oxford with a low, mannish
heel or with modified Cuban for walking
and practical war. It has a smart. long,
though not exaggerated, vamp with par
tially nolnted toe and punching that ac
cents its smartness and outlines a wing
tip. Tlien the oxford jumps from tne
for-strvlce style to the for-dreas occa
sion type, and many and varied are Its
materials.
All patent cnltskln Is the most modish

Talk to Her Parents
Dear Csnthla I am. having a. little ex

jour advice. I am now and hae been en
gaged since Inst November to n oung girl
whom I love very dearly, and bv the manner
In which she writes to mo Bhe loves me
also, but on account of parental objections
she Is unable tn go out In the evenings
They claim that she still Is too joung.
Once In a while 1 get an awful "want-to-go-out"
feeling, and without further ex
planations sou know how hard It would bo
not to have the pleasure of going out with
your fiancee on account of such foolish
ldens.
I could not think of taking another tjlrl
out. although several pay 'a good deal of
attention to me,
Pome evenings I am so worried I do not
know what to do with myself, and to add
to myi misfortune I have not received a
letter from her tn two vcarfl.
Hhe Is seventeen and I am tvventv.
I hope you won't be hurt, X. M.. If I
advise you not to be engaged. Now-,
understand me, I do not mean to break
with the girl, but you should talk with
her parents and if they will consent to
your engagement then they would have
no reason for refusing to let her go out
with you If they do not consent ou
nnd the girl had better not insist on an
engagement, but should both seo other
men and girls and go freely with them.

older. If you still love each other, the
engagement might bo renewed. But as
It is you should not be so tied down nt
your age and unable to spend evenings
together.
