The bodice of this frock Is made on long lines A Dally Fidilon Talk by Florence Hose TTKItY reccntlj I saw a woman who hail juvt returned from Tnris after n stay of almost n jcar. Jlcr view point was espeeinlv interesting, inas mtieh as this was her first trip to the "ther side, and every thing made a more decided impression upon her vision than It does on those who have "crossed the p0nd" frequentlv. One thing was quite l,rtli. ,i, , ,.,,. buck with a pro- found admiration for the American wo man. It was, sin' snid, her opinion thnt the American woman not only Mir pnssed the French woman in looks, but in style as well. The ery short skirts, those that hover well nigh to the knee, were a thing of the past and while the French women 'were wearing a longer skirt, it was still a much shorter skirt than the women were wearing in New York. Skirts also wire fuller, some, quite so. Where the tight .skirt was worn it was usually ns ii foundation for drapery nnd again overhung with pnnels. Some of these panels were wide, while on other froeks the panels were so narrow that thc might bettei lie ilcni'tibi-d as tubs. On one point she agreed with all the others who go abroad, and that was the devotion of the French women to black. Speaking of the black frock reminds nie of a really i-harming frock which I saw the other day. Brocaded erepe was the material. The bodice was 'cry plain, hugging the figure quite closely. The sleeves short. The foun dation skiit was moderately narrow I' with an ocrdrnpe which was very low at the right side nnd draped up to the waistline at the left side. Here the idraperj was caught with a bunch of bright red strawberries, hugglcd close together. Dangling trom these was a spray, about six inches long, of cherries equally bright in color. The huge hat' was black and trimmed with black paradise. The frock shown today is of black satin with a skirt which is decidedly full. Three rows of gathering are used about the hips and three tucks are made in the lower part of the skirt. The bodice Is plain, but bloused consid erably over the skirt. The neck line Is law and rnuuded and finished with a frill of lace. The long sleeves arc also finished with lace. The large fiat Is of black satin with black ostrich laid around around the brim. fCopvritjht. 1919. bv riorenco Hose) the question a Laurel?"

Members Scold Her Dear Cynthia I am twenty-two years old. and am utterly tired and dis gusted with things, but for my blind mother. "As n Disgusted Lass" says, men are a torture to look at. Some times I really hate them. I have been out with men. but what are they? Be cause I would not let them kiss and maul me I am cold. When I lenve them they sny, "I will phone or write you." Thnt is the last of them. Yet fellows preach about meeting decent girls. They don't know how to treat them when they do meet them. I nm so tired and weary of things I never go out anywhere. I went around with n girl three years I thought I could trust, but was mistaken. I gave her everything, from hairpins down to silk hosiery, jet mj- kindness wns slapped in my face.

Dear, when a girl begins to feel like j-ou do she ought to deliberately go out and fiud something new to Interest her. Do you swim or play tennis? Join anything, from a millinery class to a dancing clnss; anything thnt will throw you in contact with new people. You won't feel like it, but do it nny Itftv. Y'ou'll "be surprised to see how things turn. Don't lose faith in all the world just because you've done the thine we nil do at some time In ouri live strike n long, dull, uninteresting friends.

There is the other one who expects j-ou to .have her clean laundry sent parcel post nfter she files out of town two hotirs earlier than she ibtended to go in order to have lunch with n beau. "The nerve of her," you sny ns you . calmly wend j'our wny around to the laundry to gather up her trappings, nut there's the funny thing about it. You always do wend your way. We always do that favor for Qucenlel I sometimes wonder why we do. Why should we put up with the girl or woman who nlwnys expects others to attend to the Irksome little detnils of life for her? Why not collect our out raged feelings and gently but firmly tell the Hoyalty to go nnd wait on her self? Why not? 'I don't know; neither do you. The fnet simply stands that there arc some people who go thjough life expecting to be waited on and no one ever .seems to have the courage to disappoint them. stretch in the road.
