It's made of flesh -colored georgette
crepe trimmed entirely with itself.
A charming innovation Is the plac
ing of the how of the sash on tho
right hip instead of the left as usual
FIRST of nil
tunic drape
II notice the new typo of
pery.
Pointing downward at the front, it
seems to ilefj our old idea that the
fullness should be drawn backward
from tho front of the skirt. Yet It Is
typical of what some of the cleverest
French dressmakers are doing with
skirts of late. The effect is very smart,
''"'en thee is another rather novel
ideu tho right-hand placing of the sash
liov. . Lniui y It uus been over the
left hip. but here the right hip is
favored not that it makes any differ
ence In the actual design of the frock,
only that it affords a little change.
Something that seems to he vprv In
teresting about this Ursh-colored geor-
gettn frock is the trimming, which con-
sists of tucking of the mnterinl. You
know wo have just paused through a
scasou of very elaborate aud really ex-
pensive applied trimmings braidings
and metuls aud fringes and tassels of all
sorts. Now a reaction seems to have
set In against all these elaborate and
necesbarlly costly trimmings and the
tathcr odd thlug about It is that we
II ud it lirst in the dresses nut out by
the really expensive dressmakers.
Personally T think that the little
frock sketched today is especially pretty.
It combines three things that you should
look for In buyiug a uuvv frock new
ness of design and I'ea, for truly you
huve that uattiral crav.ng to be dressed
In tho latest stjlc; then it la wearuble,
It U trim and easily put ou .and com
fortable, and besides It Is not an ex
travagantly priced dress. When you
buy it ,ou know that you arc paying
for very good material and first-class
workmanship, nnd not for an assort
ment of evponslve ornamentation.

Advocates Marrying for Money
Dear Cynthia I have been reading
the answers to "Live Wire." I have
decided to give an account of my life
and leave it to your readers to decide
If It Is best to marry for love or for
money. Love is wry often mistaken
nud so is money, for that matter. At
though the difference in age was great
he fell iu love with me tit first sight.
My, parents were very strict with my
sister and myself (the only girlsl. They
never allow ed us to be out having a
good time with the other children. My
sister, being nf u tiuiet nnture. didn't
object, but I whs a lover of a good time.
:.n every cnntice j count get t would run
off with the hojs for a good lime. Of
course, my parents would find it out,
then they would lecture me u great deal.
When this Minus man heicau I'lillluc
at our home, bringing his sister (she wtiH
our music ieiiciiei-i generally Willi mill,
he soon showed some atteutioti to me.
My parents, knowing nothing of Ills In
tentions, thought u great deal of him. At
the age of sixteen 1 married him, know
ing nothing of the duties of married life.
1 thought I loved him nnd by iiinrryiug
him I could huve the good time I longed
for. I found he was very much iu drbt
with a business that was not malting
both curls meet. Also he hud a very sellish
uispoMtiuu. He wants eveiything to be
done as he thinks it should be nud noth
ing ever satislien him. At the age of
twenty-one 1 am the mother of three
cnildren. I have all my work to do, In
cluding keeping ti three -htory home
I clean, all lnuiidry work and sewing,
Ifiitlini; the wood and carrvini? cunl. etc.
Ill the live years I have beer, married
I have bought two dresses nnd live pairs
!nf shoes, mostly $l.."(l. oue pair costing

year I tuke a inti-nille trip to see my

the sake of my children that I will meet

is best to marry for money, as if love
fulls you don't have lo work and worry
your lifo out making both ends meet.
SOItKY.
T do not think, dear, sad though your
story is. that ou married for love. Yon
murrled to have a good time, and you
lind marriage Is not u game after nil.
j but a sharing of trouble ar. well as glad
ness.
One would be foolish to marry Tor
money, for money may go at any time
and if poverty comes and there is no
lovo to counteract its hardships it's u
bad outlook.
lie sure of the love first, the,n if there
Is money he thankful. Indeed, us it U
always u great help, but if (here Is not
be ylnil aud willing to help out the
man you love. Pnn't be thinking of po.
slide lovers, my dear. Put such aa
idea nut of your mind. You are a
married woman and only oue man your
husband is In your life.

Now. my dear Cynthia, what I would

J Just nt present I am having my
, troubles with a young man who siijs ho

' that Is foolishuess. If we go far enough
to let a fellow sec how much we euro
for him, and fall all over him, lie thiukH
right away thut you are dead in love
with him anil when you don't demon

He Is Lonesome
Dear Cynthia I feel so lonely iu this
world, and it seems I have no friends,
I am a lad of nineteen years of nge,
and I haven't u boy friend to go around
with nod the days are blue to me.
After I hm through working 1 come
home at night, and fee! so louesoinu,
und the only way I cau have a little
pleasure Is to go somewhere alone.
That Is, to go to the movies, and then
when I get there I have no one to tulk
to. and I guess jou can imagine how
I feel. "
The reason. I think. I have no boy
friend now is because I spent loo much
time wiUi oue. and now he goes n round
with other fellows uud I urn left, ami
when he meets me he tells me of such n
good time he lind with this girl nud that
t'lrl, and he is a'wa.vs knocking nt me
for not goiug anywhere. To make a
loug story short, advise me us to vvluit
lo do and how to muko friends of both
sexes. When Sunduy comes I sit lonely
in n home where everything is so mrl.
I wou'd like to tell, but I cannot go Iu
much into detull, as 1 am afraid I huve
takeu up too much spuce to publish
in vour column, uud lo all that hannen
to read this letter a merry Christmas,
and if any reader bus auythiug to say

My dear fellow, you aro thiuklug too

this boy and ho tells of his good flines,
why don't you swallow your pride and
nsk him to tnke you with him to see
some of the girls? Make yourself for

Down on Girls
(lo to it
Dear Cynthia I am writing to you
in tho hope that you may aid me iu
some measure with u problem with
which I nm struggling. To give you the
principal facts iu as few words as pos
sible will be my endeavor.
Almost n year ago I resolved to slop
going with girls. Perhaps this will seem
a common resolution with oung meu
my nge (nineteen), but I could ouly see
in them mockeries of what girls should
be. Their only object seemed lo be
cither to seo how much they could get
a fellow lo spend ou them or else see
what big fools they could uiako out of
fellows.
So 1 hid myself behind books of by
gone nges aud tried to lose myself in
the lorn of undent writers. I could
always get along with fellows and with
older people, hut 'the girls were to me
what a red sign is to a bull. I went to
shows by myself and to other such places
of amusement. For physical pleasure I
played ou football, basketball and base
bull teams. Football was my favorite,
for there T could mutch my strength
against a fellow -being, nud my great
est delight was to see how linrd I cou'r
throw an opponent. Nut that I was
really cruel or viudietive, for I ulways
played cleanly and never took un ad
vantage to which f was not entitle
SHU, I am far from happy. When I
go to a show I see other couples there
enjoying each other's tociety and I envv
them from tho bottom of my heart.
Now I have decided to seek your help
aud also the help of jour readers. Am I
correct in my conclusions thut nil girls
are nothing but false 'fnces? I ,pe
iliut I nm wrong, hut to me it hurdlv
"i-pius possible: tor I have mixed iu u
truly cosmopolitan society to s-e if in
any class, poor or ildi, I could lind mjihc
girl true to her irlenls uud not like the
wavering wind. Yet it muy be mv fault
nun there are soiee things Hint would
sivo rise to I his impression. I uin not
handsome in the couiiiionlj accepted
sense of the wind. I nm not of com
manding height. In fact. I urn rather
short. I do not dance und the biggest
fault of all, iu some girls' ojes. is that
I do not hug nnd kis.s girl every op
portunity I get. Perhaps from this
you think I am slow. If mj, I must
beg to correct this impression, for no
one enjoys a good time more than I do.
The rcuson that I don't dunco Is not
because I object to It. but rather because
I have never hud the opportunity to
learn. When I was nt school J was
considered oue of the best singers In
my "frat." I 'can also piny sevcrnl
string Instruments passablj.
Now, Cjnthlu, can jou tell me what
is tho matter? It would seem the que.
Hon is. "Is the world wroug or am
I?" If any of .vim jjiri readers aud
any one else who has hud uny similar
experience us mine could convince me
that I uin wrong I would he your debt
for life. I am nul.v lipping (hut 1 urn
iiner. uud it won't take much tn con
vincc mo, for I desire to be convinced.
A HE(JHJSi'3.
Of course you are wroug. my friend.
The eoouer you go and sen Bonie nice
girls und behave like a human being
Instead of a silly hoy the better for you.
Nico girls do not want men to hug
und kiss them. That kind of reserve
is decidedly In your favor. They viaut
sensible, nice men friends.
It is not natural uor normal for n
voting man to ml uur talk as you do.
The sooner jou get over it the better
Try It.
When Do You Come Back?
To T. P.. P.-No, Cynthin hud not
read that nurtirultn- bnol.. Timi.- .,
very much. She will rend it ves-y won.
win you iiuve u nappy UhristnitiH? It's
a pity Cjntlila cannot tell Wutts ubout
that argument. However, perhaps she
may find u way.

SYNOPSIS
Virginia West meets Kathleen Fos
ter at boarding school, und both girls
become engaged to college men.
Neither man lias any money and
Virginia's mother, removes her from
school in tho hope of breaking up
Hie infatuation.' Kathleen! iu not
serious about her engagement, while
Virginia is thoroughly in love with
immy Anderson. In the mountains
Mrs. West nud Virginia meet Slicr
iniiii Holmes, nud Mrs. West tries
to make u match for Virginia. He
is wealthy, but Virginia refuses him,
Hnd it is then that Mrs. West con
fesses tho state of their finances.
Virginia and her mother face pov
erty. WHEN Jimmy came, ho wns uncon
sciously u littlo pompous und
anxious to lake mutters iuto his own
hands, lie wns willing to shoulder all
of the responsibilities uud ho wanted
Virginia to marry, him immediately.
This attitude angered Mrs. West, aud
it puzded Vlrglniu. Of course) she
wanted to marry Jimmy, and she loved
him so that it did not mutter how they
were married, or when. Hut she hud
dreamed about niiirriagn as something
to be npproached with awe, a time of
orange blossoms and chattering brides
maids, of white satiu nnd a wedding
trip with a stateroom banked with
flowers. Jimmy's matter-of-fact atti
tude intulo it seem like a business veil
turo of some kind; it chilled Virginia s
lovo und made her feel more utterly
alono than ever.
Mrs. West would have treated Jimmy
with scorn if II hnd been possible,
but there was nothing In do but ac
cept his attentions for Virginia inas
much as bin; insisted upon it. Vlrglniu
was determined to murry him und Mrs.
West's opiuiou with no money behind
It did uot curry much weight. Jimmy
advised that they givo up the apartment
immediately. t
"How much do jou pay for it?" he
had asked.
"A hundred nnd scvcqly-livc dol
lars." Mrs. West had returned lan
guidly. "Well." said Jimmy practically,
"according to the present, state of your
finances, you would be able to live here
about four months more. That is if
you spent e'very cent you have in the
world."
Mrs. West looked up with an angry
retort, thought bettor of it and sub
sided, but she took it out on Virginia
afterward.'
"I hope you think jou nre going to
be happy with Jimmy Anderson," she
said tauntingly. "He'll have you so

with his mother, his little slater, n
u tense and any number of bundles
curried by mother. Thero was one empty

got a seat!" he crowed. And mother let

your misfortune.
Her mother never corrected her. Sho
never knew that it was selfish or

soul your own. Don't think that I'm
going to bother you two. I'm going to
your Aunt Hurrict's for the present,
and If you want to spoil my life, go
ahead."
QnSck tears sprang to Virginia's
eyes. "Oh, mother, please don't talk
that way," she protested. "Don't you
want me to be happy?"
"Yes, I do, but you never will bo
with that boy, you mark my words."
It seemed us though nil of Virginia's
girlhood had been suddenly nipped iu
the bud, und thut she had become a
woman with a woman's problems to
meet and decide, ulmost overnight.
If there had not been times when
.Tlmmv wus thoroughly tender and
adorable, when he held her iu his nnns
and told her he loved her nioro than
anything on earth, Virginia would havo
been warned by her mother. But every
thing wus so strange aud life hud stfd
deuly become so complicated that Vir
ginia tried not to bo oversensitive nud
to do what was best.
Jimmy was quite well established
with a reliable firm. He was lo receive
SoO u week with u promise of more Jtt
the full, und inasmuch us hid own father
hud never received such a sum In hia
life und hud sent three boys to college
on what they had. Jimmy had no doubt
that ."0 would be enough if he and
Virginia were sensible ubout things.
Can you cook?" he imd asked sud
denly one night.
Virginia had smilingly shaken her
head.
"Well, that's all right," he had re
sponded. "When jou come down to
visit mother she'll teach you every
thing you need to know. I thought wo
could be married iu September, and
that you could spend August, getting ac
quainted with the family."
"ISut what about mother?" Virginia
felt suddenly as though she were being
engulfed by the Audcrsou family, and
it frightened her.
"I thought, she was going to your
aunt's in litdiann."
"Hut I want her to bo here for the
wedding."
"Well, we won't have much of a
wedding. Father cau marry us quietly.
It isn't, as though we would hnvo a
Jurgc affair. Vou'll hnvo to begin to
look ut things more pructicnlly, Vir
ginia. Your mother litis the typieul
society woman's attlttlile toward life,
and you have been like her so far,
brought up in the same atmosphere.
Things will be different from now on,
and you'll have to learn to do without
luxuries. Of course, wo won't bo ex
actly poor, but we'll have to stretch
every penny to tho limit."
