The Rebellion of Virginia
SYNOPSIS
At boarding school, where Virginia
West met Kathleen Foster, a friend
ship was formed between the two girls
that persisted after Virginia was re
moved from the srhool because of her
infatuation for .Timrav Anderson, a
young college man. Kathleen's en
gagement to Bill Lyons did not worry
that young lady. She was not seri
ous, but Virginja was. Mrs. West
discovers that her money is running
low and wants Virginia to marry a
man with money, which she refuses
to do. Mrs. West is finally forced
Into accepting Jimmy as a son-iu-law,
and Virginia goes to visit the
Anderson family, expecting to be mar
ried in the fall. In the meantime a
letter arrives from Mrs. West an
nouncing her sudden marriage and her
departure for Japan.

received the letter announcing her mar-
riage. It seemed now as u every unK
that had forced her to the old life was
broken and from now on unless she was
very careful her life would be lived ac
cording to Anderson standards.
She went up to her room and cried
for nearly two hours, and when she
appeared for the evening meal she was
white-cheeked and red-eyed. Of course,
the Andersons wanted to know what was
wrong, and Virginia banded over the
letter at the table.
"Hm," Mrs. Anderson remarked. "I
suppose it was the best thing that could
have happened under the circum
stances." "But if she had come on for the wed
ding," wailed Virginia. "She knew bow
I felt about it."
"But it isn't as though tho wedding
were going to be a big affair," put in
Jimmy. "We can be married quietly
down here, and things can go on as they
are for tho present."
'Tou mean you'll stay in the city
and come down hero week-ends as you
do now?" Virginia asked quickly.
"Why, yes."
"Oh, no," Virginia returned firmly;
"we are not going to do that."
Mrs, Anderson looked up quickly.
"Why not?" she asked. "It would be
splendid just at first and Jimmy would
be able to get ahead."
"Why, yes, Virginia Mother thought
of it, and I agreed with her that it was
a splendid plan."
Virginia felt that they were all try
ing to beat her down, and that if she
gave in this time she would never again
be able to assort her independence with
any of them, to she shook ber head,

Bobbed Hair Is Approved

that I approvo of wearing the hair
bobbed. Miss Bobbed Hair, I think,
would h,e doing a good thing if she dis
regarded the friendship of the lad who
resented her bobbed hair. Tho lnd
was very wrong when he said a girl was
a doll because she wore ber hnlr hnWieil.
I know a few girls who wear their hair
cut short in the bobbed fashion and
they are far from being "so-called
dolls."
I wear my hair cut short and also
wear bangs, which style is very be
coming to me, and I can cook and do
housekeeping, etc. So I consider ray
self no doll, and I am in sympathy with
Miss Bobbed Hair.
The reason I wear my hair bobbed
is that it becomes me very much and
also I do a lot of athletic wo'rk, such
as gym and swimming.

To Soften Back of Fur
To the editor of Woman's Paue:
Dear Madam Please give me in your
column a fccmedy for softening the back
of sealskin fur. I have some that got
wet and it made the back of the fur
stiff and hard. I want something to
soften it up and make it pliable again.
CONSTANT READER.
Rub vaseline into the stiff back of the
fur, being careful that it does not get
into the fur itself. This "lubricates"
the hide and makes it soft. Of course,
it will have (o be lined very thickly and
carefully to keep the grease from com
ing through.
Wants Lovely Complexion
To the Editor ot Woman's Pcoe:
Dear Madam Will jou please tell
me bow to hac a oely complexion?
I have pimples, blackheads, a muddy
complexion and am dark under the eyes.
Do you think any soap or ointment w ill
help it? P. M.
The regular use every night of a good
facial soap, witli occasional steamings
of your face will keep it clean. But
I strongly advise jou to consult a phy
sician. You cannot help n muddy com
plexion or lines under jour. eyes by
external treatment, and it sounds as if
jour digestion is in bad condition, or
your circulation. Be ery careful of
jour food, avoiding rich or sweet
things nnd drink plenty of water. This
may help jou, but a doctor could help
jou more.
When Did Leap Year Skip?
To the Editor o! Woman's Page:
Dear Madam I am a constant
reader of your paper. Kindly inform
me what year it was that the leap
j ear did not occur until eight vears
instead of four? C. P. R., U. 8. N.
According to the World Almanac,
leap year skipped from IJNG to 1S0-1,
instead of to 1800, and also from 1800
to 1004, iusteadjot 11)00.

SUIT OF WHITE SILK
TRIMMED WITH BLACK
Dressmakers prophesy that white
will be popular for the new spring
clothes. No doubt it will If all the
frocks made are as attractHo as
this silk suit. Black silk roans tho
embroidery, which stands out so
strikingly on the white ground.
A Daily Fashion Talk By Florence Rose
ALMOST every year at this time there
is the prediction heard among
dressmakers and makers of women's
frocks and suits and hats and cloaks
that "white is going 'to be unusually
fashionable next spring." It is pre
dicted as the leading color or, perhaps
I should say, tone for sticklers say
that white isn't a color at all. And
these predictions are based on what is
seen at the smart resorts where smart
women who can afford to wear white
are foregathered. Or it is based on
what tho exclusive shops or dressmak
ing establishments aro making for these
same women.
Alas that the rest of womankind may
not follow this charming fashion more
often! For there Is never anything so
becoming to every sort of woman as
white. If she is beautiful it makes her
divine: if she is pretty she becomes ir
resistible; if she is simply sweet she
becomes adorable, and if she is actually
plain but there aro no really plain
women in bpotless, well-made white
frocks.
This year the prediction has come
very early that we will have a season
of great popularity for white. And
there is nnother prediction that goes
with it; that this white will often be
trimmed with black this based on
what has already been observed at Palm
Beach and other" southern resorts.
I am showing you one of these frocks
chocu by a well-dressed woman for her
southern wardrobe. It is a so-called
sports dress, but don't be misled. Smart
women do not actually wear this type
of frock when going on the golf links or
tennis court. They Eclect some real
sports toggery of a more mannish sort.
This tvpe of sport frock they wear for
general morning and cany aitcruoon
at the resorts. In many instances they
make no change whatever in the after
noon, but cling to this type of frock
through the afternoon until they change
to evening dress before dinner.
This frock is of heavy white silk em
broidered iu black silk. The skirt i
trimmed with black silk braid, while the
girdle and tie are of white satin. De
spite the milliner's prediction that this
is to be a great season for white hats,
the hat in this case is ot black satin.

Adventures
With a Purse
HAND in hand, my adventures and I,
we come to wish you a very happy
New Year. We hopp that this will be
quite the happiest and most prosperous
New Year jou have ever known, and
that the Adventures will mean more to
jou than ever before.
It's such fun, jou know, tc go scur
rying through the stores, aud the many
fascinating shops, picking up a rnic
little pin to tell you about, or lingering
a soft little blouse, and wondering
whether jou would like to know about
it. And then one must always be on
the alert for bargaiuH and special sales,
making sure, too, that the thing one
wants to write about will still bo
available when you go to purchase it.
And as may be expected, there is an
occasional disaster. Sometimes an irate
render will tell us that she went to such
and such a shop, aud they didn't have
that powder ut all, at all. Which makes
life very complicated. For Test asured
that never docs an Adventure appear
that is not the result of a personal
investigation.
But sometimes a new bales person has
been placed at a counter, or once in n
while the article described has beeu
moved to some other section of the shop.
So there jou have it!
If such should happen to jou, won't
jou tell us nbout it, so Hint we can sec
just what has caused tho trouble? He
member the Adventures are written for
jou. I like to think of your sitting
quietly in the evening after the dishes
are cleared away, resting, rockiug
peacefully back and forth and chuck
ling with ine when I am frivolous, or
agreeing with me when I write some
illuminating (?) truth.
I should be exceediuclv sorrv if tmi
i were frowning ubout me because you
nan ocen uusucccssim in securing some
thing I had told you about. Let me
know about it, too!

up making New Year's resolutions.

sclcnco is- tho only taskmaster that
"calls ua down" for this error, and to
our conscience we can always promiss
"Well, next time!" When the next
time comes we forget, and then we get
out of it all by shutting our eves and
saying on New Year's Dnv: "I'm go

It over quickly because we dou't want
the ugly, smeary sldb of it to bo seen.
But this j ear, Instead of turning over
that torn, soiled leaf with its mistakes

graphs started, left unfinished, and put
aside for something more Interesting
let's turn it back and look it over. Let's
pretend we're studying stenography and
'hat we have to hove a perfect pale

adding new rules to break, let's go back
nnd mend up the old broken ones. And
then next year, when we turn over bur

have unsightly faulty pages to turn
down quickly because we re so ashamed
of them.
