by the Fremh to indicate the little
animal that we call the mole, but we
use "tnupo" to indicate merely the
similes that range around the color of
the moleskin. 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

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.

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.

Since jou in engaged to the young

From "Buck"
Dear Cynthia It appears that 1 have
gotten a severe reprimand from "Dan
II.." hut my unknown colleague, "A
Mere (Jirl." has taken my part and
snld part of what I intended snying.
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. I bad no trouble getting a girl
to go out with, but because I didn't
have all of the three "fundamentals"
prcviniislj mimed I couldn't keep them.
They fell for the uniform, nnd in that
mnniicr we service men eouiii get
them," and we could get the lefined as
well as those who were not. We could

brows." How'.' Iireause we could meet
refined girls nl the Red Cross .anteens

men at that time, and we eouhl meet

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. Walking along Chestnut
stieet the other day I just noted that
the girls fellows looked at with pleasure
were those who were dressed in the
latest style with a small quantity of
rouge unci powder to make them look
idee. So, bojR, quit lying nnd say the
girl you like is the one who looks he'r
best, even if she does use rouge and
powder. 1 am a girl who uses it and I
am supporting myself nnd helping my
jounger sister. I dress in the extreme
latest. I bet I am as old-fashioned as
any girl with a pale face nnd an old
fashioned suit. HRIN'LTTK.

Ask her mother what she would like
best. You might get a good book, a
pretty picture frame, a fan, a crepe

these things would be nice.
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. An intresting frock
is of midnight blue tricotine and the
tunic is embroidered effectively with
black silk floss. The tunic is slashed at
either side and the skirt beneath, much
narrower, repeats the slashed effect with
two rows of buttons, A touch of bright
color is added in bright red silk. 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.

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. It is true

Julin Grant, n quiet soit of girl,
of an iinusiini tpc of beauty, has
beeu engaged to Dan Carson nearly a
yenr, when sh begins to woirj about
n steadily grow Ing indifference on Ids
part. The wedding .Into has been set,
but three weeks before Dan confesses
theie is some one ilse nnd although
completely crushed Julia brnvely re
nounces her claim. Dan, inwardly
rejoicing nt bis freedom, goes to

fident that she ishis for the asking. It
dei clops that she has only been play
ing with him nnd his offer of innrriiige
is refused, In order to forget .lulin

tractive young interne, tries to make
Julin notice him, much to the dis
comfiture of Grace Merritt, to whom
he Is paying attention.
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. Grace Merritt

npt to come back to call on the girl
who refuses to let him net sentimental
with her. I do not mean to be sar
castic when I sny he has not the men
tality to enjoy any other kind of en
tertainment. ntHIS then is the type of boy you lose
as n possible friend, girls, when
jou decide to retain your self-respect
nnd not pay for nn evening nt tho
movies by allowing any Tom, Dick or
Ilnrry to kiss you. Let's get along
without him now in the rest of this
little tnlk.
As for the real boy; girls, if he does
not come back, tnklng it for granted the
kiss wns nsked for nnd refused in a
cheerful but firm way, look for some
other renson. Perhnps you made lilni
feel ill nt ense by carrying on n per
petual running conversation that made
him think nil would be lost If it ever
stopped. Perhnps you laughed and
joked nil evening long, making the
young man think he was too slow for
jou, and he could never keep up the
vaudeville net pace if .he enmo to call
ngain. (lo back to the beginning of
this article, and rend the advice the
young man gave. Did you try enter
taining the boy whose friendship you
would like to win In that way? One

nnd stood regarding the two sarcas
tically. "Haven't you any work to do, Miss
Grnnt?" she snid pointedly. "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.
