IVt any rate, before an explanation could
apt, made, Natalie appearea.
' '"Natalie and Ituth had become close
friends, and Ituth had grown to care
-Vgrcat deal about her. Of course that
was before the whitmores appearea on
;the horizon. Natalie, these days, was
ta, strange wild .being compared to tne
$tfe' wraith -like "person she had been.
She was awake, alert, she was once more
Ctu care-free, happy girl she had been
before marriage, only that this time
she was deeper, more worth while. She

,35red her, not perhaps as he had once

In. hisifeellng for Natalie that he had

Atjgnderness.

Rita;,for another she had that same
Zfeeling that she always had about in
5 traducing Rita to outsiders.
.Rita sprang up as the bell rang
gathering her kimona about her.
- "Don't go," Ruth interposed, "It
may be just one of the trades people."
i "I can't see anyone," Rita called
-After Ruth as she went to the door.
Tl'm not dressed."
WAnd then Ruth opened to Natalie,
(lowing with the spring morning, and
her run up the stairs.
Sbeheld up her face to Ruth. "Come
i on out w"h me," she babbled, "I have
.' th car 'downstairs, nnd we'll take n
spin in the country. I'll take you some
where new for lunch."
She was In the little hall by now.
"drawing off her gloves, and there wan
nothing to do but to take her Into the
3J.v,iug, ropm. Ruth looked about the
Jootn .hastily, but Rita wasn't there;
'Sine had evidently slipped Into the bed
Broom. Ruth wondered why Rita al
y ays did those things. There was some
) ithins: so vague and uncertain about it.
JSne looked so lovely In her Chinese coat
.thqt there was no reason to be ashamed
;of being seen by anyone. Why did Rita
kIxtavr evflrle nennle?
si " '
) r With a hasty injunction to Natalie
Ho sit down, Ruth hurried into the bed-
, jroom. Rita was before the dressing
f table carefully touching Ruth's big puff
' m ner nose, tine turned on the low chair
, ras Ruth came in.
i -. "It's just Natalie Bond, come on out

jtjwo to meet.
"I can't see anvone strnn? llb
rjhis dear, Rita expostulated. "I'll slip
,6ut now. Come over nftcr she goes."
J3. "All right," Ruth assented, and let
Jllta out quietly.
5 When she returned to the living room
Natalie nas at the window.
' "Did you have company?" she asked
fa,s Ruth came over and they stood in the
unlight together.
6 "Just Rita; she wasn't dressed and
ttouldn't see any one," Ruth apolo
2gied. C.' Natalie pouted. "When am I going
tto meet her?" she asked. "You and
iScott talk about these wonderful people
'.ill the time and yet no oce ever sees
ttheni. Ask her to go with us if you
.Tike; we can crowd in."
jf "Really. Natalie? You darling! All
fright, I will. I know you'll like her."
'And Ruth was across the hall inia min
ute ringing the Whitmores's bell with
the little private signal they had agreed
12?'
i-Rita opened the door. "Has she
gone?"
"No, but listen, Rita; the wants us
J to go out with ber in the car. Isn't
I that splendid?"
i ' Rita's eyes sparkled.
1 m "You'll go, won't you?"
f "Yes, I'd love to. I'll get dressed
Immediately."
' And that was how In half an hour's
time Rita made her appearance in the
Raymond apartment ana was introduced
lo'Natalie.
j Rita was beautifully dressed, but al
most too conspicuously. She wore
swaying blue earrrlngs and was made
Jip' a shade too much. Her little hat
7 j Was much too extreme,"-and she had
adopica & iimuuci iuul iiuiu uiu uui
tare for. It wasn't at all the easy,
tare-free style that she used with Ruth ;
it was an almost patronizing attitude.
It made Ruth vaguely uncomfortable.
She felt that Natalie would not like
Rita at all if she persisted in acting so
unnatural. Ruth was between two
fires. She wanted Natalie to approve
of her new friend and she wanted more
than anything else not, to be disap
pointed in Rita.
In (he next Installment, at n road-
house, the girls encounter some of Rita's
former friends.
Please Tell Me
What to Do
By CYNTHIA
Ask Buyer at Store
Dear Cynthia -I have a young girl
friend (sixteen) who has passed exanii
nations to pans to the sophomore (sec
ond) grade next year at high school.
Would it be proper for me to give her
a nice book as a reward for good work
In past year? Would you name a few
good books for girls slxteen-elghteen
years old? Her parents are very par
ticular as to the kind of books she reads
and "I would wnnt to give her only- the
best books for a girl of her age.
NINETEEN.
There arc so many new and interest
Ine honks romlne in almost every day,
it would be wisest for you to consult
the bujer in one of the big book de
partments and tell her just what you
have told me. U would be perfectly
proper to make the present.
Advice for "Nearly Twenty"
Dear Cynthia I quite agree with you
"Nearly Twenty" when you say that it
is very embarrassing for you to go see
these young ladies, since they have
taken the stand that you think more pf
them than ordinary friends.
Since you have asked for advice, I
will tell you what to do, nnd sec if ou
don't succeed. (Jo to these young ladles,
and in a sweet, but manly way tell them
that you hae enjoyed their compnny
immensely, and that although you can
not find the time to go Wit when jou
always want to, that when you hac
the time you would still like to come
down and take them out. But that if
they want to keep steady company with
a man, or when they betomc engaged
to be married. ou will stay away, but
that you are just (lonc&ome) and when
ou have the (spare) time you would
desire their company very much if there
i. nothing to prevent seeing them. Con
tinue goiug to see them occasionally and
see how they change. Any girl, who
ever she may be, will never think of
matrimony or loe when a man talks
like thli to her.
Here's hoping that-you will win out,
and let us I now how jou make out.
Won't you?
Helen H.
Thought we didn't belieie in steady
company.
Cynthfa Letters Are Real!
Dear Cynthia I have never written
to jou before for I really thought that
the editor wrote those letters Instead of
the people readers of your paper can
jou Imagine anyone thinking thnt when
the letters read so sincerely and nearly
all differently? So have decided to write
and sec.
I have been following up the debate
on "Vamps," which I think is too silly
for words. But your club, I think,
is a very good thing.
Having received a letter with stamps
placed like the enclosed illustration
(pray excuse thin drnwlng) I am curi
ous to know what they mean. May I
take the liberty of sending you a self
addrebed envelope in hopes that you
would be kind enough to send me the
stamp language?
HAPPY HELENA.
Now you see for yourself. Helena!
Here are your own words staring you in
the face. In going about. In cognito,
Cynthia from time to time, hears the
doubt and wonder jou have expressed
but the answer is not to be found in
argument, but as you hive, suggested,
in the letters themselves. They ar
hincerc. What human being, editor or
otherwise, could be wise enough to'gucss
at all the problems, deep in the hearts
of joung people? It can't be done,
Happy Helena. The mailman really
and truly brings us our column.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
IT HAS been a habit of many years'
stnnding for manv people on this
side of the water to ridicule the fashions
each Reason ai they were imported from
the other side. Such expressions as
'"that might be all right for the Trench
women, but no American woman would
cer think of wearing anvtliiug so dar
ing," have been erv common, because
we have all been educated to the fact
that the American woman is the most
unassuming in attire. However, the
tables arc turning, and those on the
other side are beginning to say the sharp
tilings about our women.
To be nuie, the French had the nar
row skirt, but n"ver the pipestem, as
we had It here. The narrow skirt madej
bj the French had either the short or
long tunic over the snug foundation
or the skirt was made wide enough for
comfort, nnd unadorned.
T am showing jou a model today
which has the straight foundation, am
ple in width, hut is mnde to look nnr
row. because of the full short tunic.
ThiR is one of those simple dresses,
made of crepe de chine, that are such
a comfort during the hot bummer wea
ther. The material is, unadorned ex
cept for the fagoting which trims the
bodice and sleeves and finishes the folds
on the skirt.
The hat worn with this dress has an
unner brim of taffeta nnd a crown and
underbrim of straw. Au ostrich feather
trims the hat at the bide.

Writing to German Cltlten
Tn th Viiiinr ttt TVoman'i Faoei
Dear Madam Would you kindly let
mo knnro hnw I could let my uncle In
Germany know that my mother died?
Is there anv way I could write to him
in English? Would the letter go
through? MRS. M. E.
The only way that you can write to
your uncle In Germany Is through the
American Red Cross. Address your
letter to him, and write "In care of
American Red Cross" on the envelope.
In this way the letter will eventually
reach him, although It may take a long
time.
Too Anxious
I am afraid that your constant use
of m much powder Is what makes your
skin so oily. Too much powder clogs
the pores and makes them large, and
makes the natural oil of the skin stand
out instead of being properly absorbed.
I think an almond ream would help
you Why don't you try using that in
place of the cold cream before you put
on the powder? The zinc ointment
treatment that I have recommended so
many times might help you, too, Appty
a thick coating of zinc ointment before
you go to bed, and let It remain on your
face overnight. This helps to reduce
tho skin and make the pores smaller.
If you are eating rich food that may be
the cause of this condition. Plenty of
fresh air, plenty of sleep and plenty of
exercise, with good, wholesome food,
will make your skin better and will take
away the puffincss under your eyes un
less that comes from some condition of
your health. Have you asked a physi
cian about it? There may be some con
dition that you are not aware of which
could be corrected

If Mrs. W. M. G. cares to let me

communicate with' her. M. C,
It Is kind of you to make this offer,
but Mrs. W. M. G. has already obtained
a copy of the picture through the kind
ness of a reader. I would like to take
this opportunity to say that ope of the
few rules of the exchange provides that
we do not buy and sell through It. This
little note was added to Mrs. W. M.
G.'s letter, but I am sure you did not
understand.
To Recolor a Hat
