N'iim blue is always smart and there is iiiuih distinction in the street suit of black when worn by the woman who does not fntle into in significance In it Hi owt has the virtue of being the newest thing. Hut taupe is in B class by itself. It pos sesses what the saleswoman who sells suits In the shops would deserlhe as "class" and though you would not indulge in an adjective so commonplace, i jou know what she means when she sajs it. It hap been said that after the new duvetyn suits are seen there will be only one class of women who will not selectl wSWfiyr If if zft-arawi ii . Pfflilnlll V inPf m A them and that will be those who cannot afford them. However, that must be a large class, for duvet jn is undoubtedly expensive. Hut it is likewise beautiful. And taupe is a shade that lends itself extremely well to duvetyn. There is an interesting use of fur1 and embroidery in the suits and coats this winter, nnd now we see hrfw well they combine we wonder that it was never thought of beforp. In this suit the embroidery isnot brilliant In color. It cousists of work done in taupe-colored chenille and silk. In using fur you will notice that there is seldom nn extension of fur around the entire lower edge of the jacket, but frequently the fur is used simply across the back. Kor this is a season when our backs are rather more ornate than our fronts. To complete the monotone color system the fur used both in this place and for the cuffs and collar is of taupe-colored wolf. (Cosrriabt, iPl. hy Blonne Hot.) - - - r,. n , ,. , c, , .

I thank her and "Illonde (natural)" for their statements. It may inteiest "Dan II." to know that two girls of the tjpe we would both like to meet agree with what I said. It is not be cause I think I am absolutely light that I saj this, but be. aiisc of what the above-mentioned girls have snld; und no one could give us more positive proof than those about whom we are arguing (as this seems to have become an argument). Then. too. I thank "Dan H." for nnotber point in mj faor. nnmelj, that the girls fell for mj uniform when I was in the service That's just the point. Iteeaiise thej fell for my uni form.

Stands Up for "Dolls" DrnrCjiithia I would like to express my opinion of the girls who use paint and powder. They are doing mi to look their best nnd cannot be judged for doing that. As your readers will no doubt agree, the majority of men nre narrow -minded and just cry out in self defense that they merely lllrt with these girls to pass the time away, us they prefer the old-findiioncd ones. I ciiii give a good incident of how true this statement is.

A Smart Frock These long tunics, tied in with nar row sashes, are so becoming to all women, stout or slim, tlint they are sure to prove popular.

Folds of this silk are sewed under the edges 'nf the sleeves and under a slash in the bod- Ice front. A dozen shiny nickel but tons on the red silk in the 'slash add to the gray effect.

A sic for Piedmont HSAnnfiilflH " s&SKllujll AV ANSWER TO THE GIRLS WHO ASK ABOUT KISSING Part of It Is Given by a Young Attract Boys "n question that conies frequently to this page from our young girl teadeis is this one: "Shall I let the bojs kiss mc good-night?" The reason for putting the question Is alwajs about tfie same. "If I don't do this, It seems the boys do not care lo come again." A young man reader Volunteers such illuminating information on the subject tlmt 1 feel it Is worthy of most thought ful digestion. "Jf he docs not call again," the young man writes, "because you will not allow him to kiss jou, so much the bett-er for jou. Let him go 1 Xo matter how hnndsonie he is. Make a fellow feel at home with jou. Take him In the kitchen mid make fudge or pull randy. Let him wash the. dishes with jou. Let him meet your family and don't try to rush your mother out of the way ns soon as he arrives. " These worth come from judging by the rest of his letter a regular fellow. They ought to count with the girls who nre continually torn between the temptation to become dubiously popu lar via the kiss route and the desire, to retain their self-respect. f Jlrls, let's face the matter frankly. When jou are not popular tlo not blame it on the fnet that you will not permit boys to kiss you.

TIIKN STAKT THE STORY MISS TULLY, the hospital tendent, wns a shrewd won superin- oman, fnir with the fairness of a man. There wns nothing feminine nbout her, and there fore she saw through the motives of other women'. She was almost gener ally disliked by every nurse in the hos pital. Julia liked her. When Miss Tully had anything to find' fault about, her loud voice could be heard all over the place. She had a biting tongue and a playing sarcasm, but she was honest nnd sincere, nnd the tloctois liked nnd respected her. There wns something nbout .lulin Grnnt that appealed to Miss Tully in n strunge way. Of course, she knew noth ing nbout the girl, but she liked the expression in Julia's eyes, nnd she liked more thnn anything the fact that Julia wanted to work, that her mind was not eternally fixed on n flirtation; in short, that she showed sense, She saw, too, that Julia's extraordinary beauty could not be dimmed, even in the ugly uniform in which Julia performed her duties. Dick Xugent had begun to lay traps for Julia, and one afternoon as she came out of one of the wards and pre pared to go wearily up to her room to snatch a little sleep, he stopped her and asked her to go to the theatre with him the next night. She shook her head. "Why not?" he insisted, noticing the way her hair turned black where it waved over her ears, even noticing the blister on one thumb hnd the rnvrfges that hospital woik had made on her slim hands. Usunlly Dick Nugent did' not not,ice these things. "You know it's against rules." "Of course, it is, but what of it? Every one breaks them." O "And some get caught like! Miss Merritt did." "You won't get caught." The more she refused to go, the more Dick wanted her. He had a desire to know what she would be like outside of the hospital. He wanted to talk to her, to draw her out. He had an .idea that she might be rather wonderful. He knew that she would never be Ob vious like Miss Merritt. "I'm sorry," Julia said simply, and then flushed scarlet.

"Miss Tully doesn't 'allow probationers to carry on alTnlrs with the. internes." "Miss Grant and I were talking nbout n case." Dick lied quickly. His eyes follow etl Julia ns she went down the corridor and be turned hotly to Miss Merritt and nsked angrily. "Whnt do you mean by treating that girl as you do? She hasn't done nny thiiig to you." Miss Merritt wns instnntly all smiles nnd dimpling blonde sweetness. She miw that she must phiy her cards cleverly. "Oh, what docs it matter anyway, Dick? We don't care anything about her. I'vo, hardly seen you lately. It's been n Jong time since AveVe gone any where together'." Hut Dick wase thinking of Julia and wns distrnit in his mnnner. Even Miss Merrill's delicate flattery failed to attract him and she saw this. Was Dick actually beginning to care for tlmt sad-eyed little probationer? It couldn't be true; she would have to do something1 nbout it. "I can get off tonight," she sug gested. He shook his head. "Can't manage it, sorry," he said curtly, and was off. Miss Merritt stood where he had left her, her blue eyes hardening, her lips drawn into n line. It was true, hc was rrazy nbout this girl. Dick Nugent liked novelty and this Julia Grnnt with her evasiveness and air of mystery had gone to his head. Grace Merritt was thinking of tbe ignominy of losing Dick to a probationer, but more than any thing she was thinking of what it would mean to lose Dick himself. She had not realized until Julia had loomed up on the scene just how much she had grown to rare for him. True she had known that he was a triflcr, and that he had no idea of being serious with her, but unconsciously as every woman will do, Bhe had dreamed dreams and Dick Nugent had alw'ays figured in them. She clenched her fists and thought wild thoughts ns she stood there, and in tho meantime Julia, the unconscious cause of all this emotion was soaking her aching feet in scalding hot water, tears in her eyes from the pain of it. She hnd already forgotten Dick Nugent, she was too tired to think about any one or nnj thing, and the prospect of dropping dog-weary into bed was the most delicious thing in the world. Even the dull sense of pain that had been in her heart for days was numbed. For the time she was just a weary girl eager for sleep. (Monday, Dan Cnrson meets Lucy, Grant unexpectedly.)
