By CYNTHIA
To "Calamity Jane"
.Dear Cynthia My wife and I have
decided to send "Calamity Jane" some
encouragement, for she In named Jane,
too but Bhe Is "Happy Jane." She Bays
so herself, and although she Is my
senior four years no ono lcnowB It but
Wo two.
I was calling on my wife's younger
sister, ten years younger, and confess
j. naa quite a caso on Aiouy. wnen u
gradually dawned on me that Molly
had all the pretty dresses, all the new
liats, all the fun, and when there were
any doings at the house, Jane did all
the fussing, made all the cakes and
candy and salads and punch or cocoa,
as the case might be, while Holly Bat
Idly by and Just looked pretty and was
the "belle c-f the ball."
I put on my thinking cap and It did
not take long to see that Jane was just
as pretty, and when I got belter ac
quainted, a whole lot more fun than
little Bister Molly, who had been spoiled
and babied until she was a very selfish
and self-conceited young lady. "When
I started rushing Jane she at first
avoided me every chance she could and
later confessed how eld she was as If
that mattered. "Well, we've been mar
ried for years, and there may be happier
married folks, but we doubt It.
TED AND JANE.
Hurrah for you two ! Tou are making
a lot of us envy you tonight Just be
cause you are so happy. Thanks for
writing. And see, "Calamity Jane,"
love's the thing that counts'.
Are Blondes Misjudged?
Dear Cynthia No doubt this quesflon
will sound rather absurd, but I know
you wilt answer It.
I am a blonde and wherever I go peo
ple misjudge me. And I just hate to
so anywhere for that reason, for de
spite the fact that I make up once In
a while I am certainly not gay. Why
is It that people have such poor opin
ions of blondes?
Will you please help me by giving
some pointers on how to convince peo
ple that ,1 am not a sporty kind of a
girl, and If you advise me to I will
darken my hair If It will help.
,1 want to thank you for any advice
you can gle me.
A DAILY READER OF TOUR
COLUMN.
Won't jsome one please come to the
rescue of the blondes? Or do other
blondes find themselves misjudged?
Don't dream of darkening jour hair.
Do you dress conspicuously or let thei
powder show "chalk:-"? These things,
linked with showy hair, might attract
unduo attention.
I am hoping some other blondes will
write In and compare nc-tes.
Be Pals With the Boys
Dear Cynthia So many girls write
1o you of how men turned them down.
While at school a boy started to write
to me. Seeral days ago I found he was
writing to anther girl. I knew It was
not right for me to write nor to be Jeal
ous of this girl. I never In rav life
wlas jealous and never want to be.
I told myself a man can't write to
two girls and I .would be the one to stop
writing. I did. When a girl friend
told me he was writing to this other
Klrl I swallowed a large lump. But
right there and then I said I am going
to stop writing. Since, I hae heen
trying to forget. I did. by taking long
walks, studying and reading poems, of
which I am very fond. I studied my
lessons and I have learned to forget.
Dear Cynthia, do you think I was right?
Can't other girls forget the men they
loved who turned them down?. I have
many friends, so why shouldn't I for
get? I talk to him when we pass each
other. Can't other young girls try
studying their lessons, take walks and
forget there wa3 every such a man?
JUST FIFTEEN.
Dear, you acted very nobly according
to the way you saw things, but you
weren't seeing things In just the right
way. A boy can write to as many girls
ns he pleases and so can a girl until
they are engaged. There was no rea
son' for jou to stop writing just be
cause the boy thought he'd like to know
lots of girls. You are very young, dear,
to be thinking so seriously about boys.
Just think of them as pals for a few
years and see how much more fun you'll
have.
How to Be Popular
Dear Cynthia Please tell me how a
girl not quite sixteen, with her hair
down, can become popular In a dancing
class, outside of being able to dance
well?
CONSTANCE, AN ARDENT AD
MIRER. Be Jolly, kind, unselflsn and unsel
fishly Interested In the boys and they
will be sure to like you. Learn to be
a good listener and they will enjoy ta!K
Ing to you. Try to make the beys tell
about the things that they are doing.
You can be an Interesting tittle talker
yourself, too. by keeping up on sports
In the boys" school, etc., and by getting
on In Jthe world through newspapers and
magazines.
Adventures
With a Purse
HERB Is a novel charm for around
the neck. It Is oval, about an Inch
and a half In length, and .against a
greenish blue background Is a clear-cut
cameo head of pure slowing white. The
Person-ln-Authority said she thinks they
are made from shells. Each is surround
ed by a narrow silver finish band, and
depends from quarter-Inch wide black
tiolre ribbon edged with white. Partlc
larly for tailored clothes there Is noth
ing more striking to rry way of thinking
than a narrow black ribbon chain. The
prlco of these charms la J2,
NOW that the wanner weather will
be coming along, you want to look
over your linens for tho summer. Maybe
you have some bureau scarfs and table
covers that need only a bit of fresh new
lace. Well, one shop has a table of laces,
the prices of which range from ten cents
to forty cents a yard. I examined a
number, of pieces, and saw some laces at
fifteen cents which would make excellent
edging for covers and the like. It would
pay you to stop In and look them over.
I ALWAYS llko to think that powders,
cold creams and the like are com
pounded by women. For who but a
woman could know whether a certain
face powder would be liked by her sis
ters! And that Is why I like this pow
der named after a woman, and which I
am sure was originally compounded by
a woman. I can picture 'her carefully
and patiently experimenting with first
this quantity ana tnen tnat, until at last
she perfected the powder which she has
called "a natural snade." it matches
any complexion, Is soft, and clings most
satisfactorily, isven tno price seventy,
five cents Id reassuring, for somehow I
would never be willing to trustmy face
to 'cheap powder. Ono cannot be too
careful.

$25 and $29.75.
