Ycsterd.ij's Answers

bright flowers on a dark back

than silver.
u. An attractive, inexpensive night

checked or colored material
4 Oakvvood work can be cleaned bv
rubbing with linseed oil and tur
pentine u. It is not correct to wear patent

A fill that is why if ou looked
through the wardrobes of the smart
women who nie now foregathered at
the fashionable winter resorts jou
would find some long sleeves that flare
and some that fit tight; some short
sleeves and some sleeves with puffs,
some evening frocks with merely n strap
across the shoulder and otheis with
full -.fledged sleeves.

THE GIRL WHO NEVER WASim
THE BACK OF HER NECK
Is Like the Girl Who Does Not Fixjhe Back of IIcr Uai
Long as the Front Loohs Pretty
TUG dressmaker's nssislant was tell
ing u customer nbout a group of
bridesmaids who were having their
dresses made ut the establishment. She
mentioned three names, IkI t she could
not remember the fourth.
"I guess it's not very nice," slio
said, with an apologetic laugh., "But
we always call her the girl who doesn't
wash her neck. I always want to tako
soap and water,. and get at the back
of her neck, every time she comes for
a fitting 1"
The customer joined her laugh.
"Don't tell me you mean Cora Smith?"
she asked.
"Yes, that's her name. I'd forgot
ten." TUG Hory was told and laughed at a
doiten times, nt card parties, church
meetings nnd sewing circles, until it
was a wonder and a shame that
Cora Smith did not hear it herself. But
she didn't hear it and she went straight
on, w curing hir fashionable clothes,
giving a well-dressed nppearnncc and
forgetting to wash the back of her
neck. She is like the girl who puffs
her hair high on top nnd wide on the
sides, nnd droops it becomingly around
her face. Bv the time she has finished
all this she has just a tiny wisp ofhair
left to make a funny-looking little knot
at the back. But she can't see the
back of her head and she wouldn't
bother to use a handglass, nnd so sho
lets It go at that. She never knows
now scalped she looks back of the
screen of puffs. All she cares ubout is
that she looks pretty in front. I wish
night for n moderate price, ns our
mother refuses to pay for same, but
still wo can never en ior ourselvi.s on
account of lacking the knowledge of
dancing. T. ANDB.
