like wildfire.
"Did you hear?" some one would

"Sally Is coming," and then would add.

CHAPTER LXXIX
fiiht. month In Professor Freeland's
-- home was an experience which min
istered to my well-being In more ways
than one : aside from the unaccustomed
luxury of living In a congenial family
and the benefit derived from the prin
cipal's coaching In geometry, the salary
which Mrs. Freeland Insisted upon pay
ing me was a decided help At first. I
felt It was not right to take money In
return for such services as I could ren
der before and after school, especially
as Mrs. Freeland Invariably saw to it
that I had ample time for studying and
the assistance which her husband gae
me In making up school work was In
valuable. However, my qualms were
swept away by the positive assertions
of them both that the absence of Gene
Tieve necessitated their hiring somebody
to take her place, and that nobody
would be a better substitute lhan I Ac
cordingly. I tucked away my wages
against the day o Genevieve's return.
and In order to run no risk of staving
longer than I was expected to before
the month expired I bespoke a room at

Even at the Y W C A I could not

movement, Inaugurated by the local

near the end of the winter term, took

regulations, each entrant was permitted
to select one subject from the half dozen
included In the list compiled by the
white rlbboners, write a certain num
ber of words upon the chosen topic
and submit results on or before the date
specified for the close of the contest
This date was perilously near when
I found myself at liberty to place es

even so the specter of my graduating
theme not yet clothed with a single

every now and then to suggest that In

cream will remove the burn and color

away the burn and not the color Vinegar

These lovely blouses of handkerchief linen may be hand done, and it
is needless to say what a richness is added (o them by the hand work.
The plaited collar and tuff are a smart finish for a lovely blouse
THERE Is no doubt In my mind that
the smartest summer blouses are
made of fine handkerchief linen. Of
course, these blouses are not cheap, no
matter If you buy them ready made or
If you make them at home Anyway,
did you ever hear of anything that was
really smart that w-as cheap' I didn't
When I say cheap I am referring to
the money that must be paid or expend
ed, but the smartest things are In an
other sens always the cheapest to buy.
For If women would always buy the
smartest garments and the best, they
would find that not only were the ma
terials durable, but the workmanship Is
always superior to that on the cheap
apparel, and by buying things up to the
minute garments remain In style very
murn longer
It has always seemed to m that
only the rich women, who can afford to
buy clothes often, should Indulge In
re-'cheap dresses, while the woman w-ho must
mind 1 her V s .and Q s' In spending
money should buy the very best. She
then finds it necessary to rmy less otten,
because she gets good style, material
and wear the principal requirements of
clothes
But to return to the blouses made of
handkerchief linen these are at least
the very best made by hand, which It Is
aUnost needless to say, adds greatly to
the price tag, but many a woman who
delights In "sitting on a cushion and

1, Odd checkerboard for soldiers,
2. Shade glasses for seashore,
S. Japanese toys,
AND now comes a game of checkers
for soldiers ! Of course, you Imme
diately think of the regulation red and
black checkerboard which would take
up a powerful lot of room In his kit
But no. this Is a very different affair
At first glance It looks like one of those
traveling cases for soap and washcloth,
made of an olive drab material You
unfold It and there In a compartment
are the checkers. "But where," you say,
"Is the board?" If you will spread out
this case and turn. It over, there on the
back you will find the black and olive
drab squares of the checkerboard I
can picture my soldier hailing his best
friend delightedly, and saying. "Say, I've
got checkers; come on over to my bar
racks, or let's go over to the Y. M. C. A.
tonight and have a game " And re
member, complete, this outfit takes so
little room that he can c?rry It "over
there" with him The price Is only
fifty cents.
I once knew a glrftvvho had two deep
lines between her eyes from frowning
And she tried everything from massag
ing with cold cream to wearing wrinkle
plasters to eradicate those stubborn
lines. But, alas I they were there to
stay. So great an Impression did her
sedulous efforts make upon me that I
vowed I would never permit myself to
frown. But weekends at the shore In
the brilliant sunlight, or the occasional
motor trip with kindly disposed friends,
would play hob with such a determi
nation were It not for shade glasses The
hlack glasses are certainly not very flat
tering, but spectacles can be secured
with yellow lens and amber-colored rims
and earpieces for fifty cents. They
protect the eyes, do not make one look
like a fright, and are very useful.
The magic Information "made In Ger
many" which once appeared on toys and
was assurance of their superiority,
would now be a death-knell to the most
Irresistible doll or plaything. But an
other brief stamp brings us the guar
antee of cunningly-made games and ap
pealing toys It Is "made In Japan "
But even this would not be needed to
endear to your heart the fascinating
novelty I discovered today. Picture, if
you please, a tree trunk. In height about
lead pencil size And Imagine a bright
ly colored woodpecker swinging on a
branch The slightest touch and Mr
Woodpecker swings backNind forth, tap.
tap, tapping w.lth his long-pointed bill
at a space In the tree trunk Yoc take
out Immediately twenty-five cents from
your purse, no matter how slender, nnd
carry one of those "made In Japan"
woodpeckers straight home to the littlest
child, who repeats after you delightedly
as the wicked old bird pecks away at
that tree the tlme-ftonored and unan
swerable question: "How much wood
would a woodchuck chuck, If a wood
chuck could chuck wood?"

Too Young to Go in Movies
Dear Cvnthla In the early rrt of July 1
snt you a letter slgred n. It M and It was
headed with these words' "Would Act for
Movies.' To be more definite, I told you
tnat I had plryed the piano for o couple of
v."1?" at n moving picture place, that I had
studied the acting night after nleht. that I
"as a great lover nf moving pictures and
tnat mv hope was to berome one of them
You told me'you sympathized with my nmbl
tlns You also told me that I must begin
at the bottom and the way to begin Is to go
to a studio and ask to be one In a crowd
scene There are a few things ! forgot to
ask VOUr nrfilre nhnut. r Ulnrtlv rr.di.
m If I am taking up unnecessary space
ftince I wss a mere child my onlv desire was
to become an actress. As I am now past
fifteen years of ace I think. If t reallv
want to mnko a success of mv desire, I had
better do something As vou know, there
are no motion picture studios In Phlladel-
i"ii, now can l take a minor part in a scene
If none Are tilren In thl. rltv? T fltkert oi
If I should write to nn actor or actress and
vou edvlsed m not to do so. so what can I
do? How can I start If there are no studios
here? Klndlv .iIvIma me how to .tsrt to ftp.
compllsh mv desire If I knew what to do
nrst i would hegln al once and try to work
mvself up Ro what nm I to do nnd how
should I start? B H M
I remember your Inquiry distinctly, B
H M I was Impressed with It because
vou said votir narents annroved and
because you did not seem to have takin a
mere silly fancy, as so manv girls do
nut If I am not mistaken, I specified that
flrst you must finish high school Fifteen
Is too young to start out and make your
way Education gives experience and
teaches you how to get along. And the
more thoroughly taught you are the bet
ter able you will be to Interpret vour
roles If you do go Into the pictures later
now There are no moving picture
studios In Philadelphia now. but there Is
a company out near Valley Forge that Is
taking pictures there now The name Is
IWzwood Film Company. Betzwood Pa
You might have your mother drop them a
line to find out If there are any chances
for "crowd" parts Another way for you
to get a start on the stage, and you
could eventually change Into the movies
after you had some experience, would be
to get Into a stock company You are
too vonntr tn po Into this now', however
Try to save some money now, and
when you have finished school get your
mother to go over to New Tork vvlth you
to spend a couple of weeks. There vou
can visit the various studios and theat
rical agencies This would be the only
way to start But please 1m patient and
wait until you are seventeen or elchteen
Take Mother Along
Dear Cvnthla I am a girl of fifteen and
I po to high school Hov would be. n prettv
wav for me to wear mv hair? It Is verv
straight Does it hurt It to cut If I never
curl It with an iron I cannot wear mv
hair straight back, as my face Is verv long
hut full I am also verv tall for my age
Would It be right for mr to go out for a
ride with a bov of seventeen' I have never
gone out with him before, hut T have been at
hli home several times I hardly ever go out
at night, and never with ft vounc man
Would vou plee tell m what costume
would be nice for a masquerade pirtv tn
October' DOT.
It doesn't hurt to curl the hair If ycu
just put It up not too tightly on those
soft kid curlers or even on rage. Don t
pull vour hair hack from your face If It
te iinhopnmlnr Part It on both sides
quite far down and then fluff that middle
part Into a little pompadour, pulling It
down a II Vie over your forehead hut
being careful that it Is loose and fluffy
Part th hair again just behind the ears
nnd fluff this out pcttllvj partly covering
the ears Do the back hair In a soft
knot If vou wear It up or hanging fas
tened vvlth a barrette If you wear It
down , M
I think It would be better to wait for a
while before going out with the boys
nlnnA Ktnc von have been to the boy's
home you probably know his mother I
am sure the mother would be glad to go
riding with her boy and you If he askef
her Or the boy might be glad to tak
your motlvr .
The question about the costume. Is
answered in the woman's exchange.

Wants Book Friends
Dear Cvnthla I lo to read your depart
ment and have received quite a. number of
beneflts from vour answers to the girls, but
now I am coming for help. If sou can possibly
give It Am n. soung girl quite along tn mv
twenties of refined and educated family on
mother's side, but owing to father's dis
regard for my education, am one of those
who have all the refined tastes and aspira
tions without the ability to meet that sort
of people Now. I do not mean hlghlv edu
cated people, but Just ordinary refined people
I am emploved In ti factorv and am not a
prude, but the majority of the girls here are
so vulgar thit I could not become familiar
with them Now. I would love to henr from
girls similarly situated who would like to be
friends I assure ou I would do my part to
further the friendship. Also, my greatest
to confide In a letter than in nr other way. If you are worried or rerpleie
write to "Cynthia," In care of the woman's page, Evening rubllo Ledger.

Invite the Marine to Dinner
Dear Cynthia Not long ago I was intro
duced to p marine who lives In tho Marin
Barracks down In ths Navy Yard. I met
him nt a dance and he asked If he could call
on me The verv next day I was startlnc
off on mv vacation, so I was obliged to
say no Now I have come back to tho city
and would like to ee this young man, as
he was very nice and polite and the typo of
bov I like I have his address Do you
think It would be all right to send him a
card telling him I am at home again? Mr
mother says that I might ask him out tons
Sunday to dinner, but I would not Ilka him
to think I was running after him. Do you
think it would bo all right to ask him?
PUZZLED.
I think the marine would ttppreclate
the Invitation to dinner very much in
deed, and I should most certainly write
a cordial little note asking him to come.
He cannot think you forward, because he
himself asked to call. Many of these
bovs come from faraway States and they
vearn for a little bit of home atmosphere.
All praise to the mothers who big heart
edly invite them up to Sunday dinner.

Jim says he hopes he won't ever
have to live In a boarding house,
because since I've been using Al
Sauce he doesn't know what tit
means to eat commonplace hash or
stew. And I don't throw away my
left-over steak either oh, dear not j
I cut it In pieces for serving, and
when I've got It slightly heated I
pour over It a mixture of a quarter
of a pound of melted butter substi
tute 'and two tablespoons of Al
Sauce. , '
It makes a splendid sauce, too, for
freshly broiled steak or fish. Jim
says he knows I don't mind his
bringing company home unexpect
edly, even on Monday night. That
Al Sauce certainly does make "pot
luck" taste like the Waldorf
Astoria. Adv.
