Please Tell Me What to Do By CYNTHIA Buck Private' Answers 'Cleopatra Dear Cynthla-rVour column of last Saturday wn.of more than average interest to its readers, nnd most of the letters told of tragedy In the lives of the writers. One- oor,respondent, adopting the name of hUtory'ji most notorious "vampire," CleopatiV, nsks above her signature a masOftrtmnzlng question for one who iriod(v-nir.iitlie name of Egypt's famous or Wainous queen "Should menswrnr weSliug rings?" She also remarks thn peNiap.thc Buck Private mighti desire to' express his opinion. He does. ViU yon not,' therefore, publish this, the Buck Private's answer to Cleopnt'rn? v k I expect to be married in May, nnd it as natural that. I should take the question to Mildred. Her answer, while not direct, is mine. Should a girl so mistrust her companion out of her sight so much that sl demand ho wear n ring to remind him of his vows, then she would live fnr happier by not mar rying him. Personally I wouldmuch inther feel that the nbsence of a ring on my hnnd denoted my wife's full loyal faith in me n never faltering faith. And the same on my part if she prefer to leave her ring off. But it is not for us to. judge too harshly the men nnd women who vio late the unwritten laws. Rnther let us fight against the overwhelming of the family life by business and material life whieli causes such violation to be con doned. Let us do our best to re-establish the onetime social and familj ties on such a plane that a question like Cleopatra's nnd the others asked Cynthia be impossible. Let us put the blame for such questions in public where it rightlj (in most cases) belongs, upon the way which our parents and crnndnnrents reared their children. That cannot bo revised, but we can strive to lay n foundation, tor tun commences between parents nnd children where questions will be trustingly asked and lovlnglv answered. And first of nil let us pause nnd consider the significancei of marriage vows that their first require ment is loyalty in speech, action and thought. In other words, let us try to get individuals to think for themselves nnd not to confiscate second-hand opinions ns their own. The world is in a period of recon struction, and we all must needs think seriously over topics nt which we nrc wont to laugh, sneer or to condone, else the work of past generations and the tcnchin-is of Moses and Christ will he for nothing nnd our descendants shall be living in a veritable hell of our ci cation. What will be our heritage yours and mine to succeeding generations? Still we carefully choose the good nfter deliberate thought and make the world a better place to live in. or shall we scoff at morality, love and law nnd nllow the world to become n globe of passion, hatred and sloth? ...

When the hair is worn bobbed, these braids of green or blue, or even nn unusunl shade of brown or gold nre twined about the head for an evening coiffure that is decidedly novel. Sometimes the braids nlmoHj match the hair and nre very thin and svtiff. Often they nre not placed round the head at nil. but nre curled into knots or de signs and pinned at the back of the neck like barrettes. She Helps Him Save Dear Cynthia Please allow me to say a few words to R. F. K. Thanlt you very much. Dear R. P. K. : I must say that ou are very foolish to keep on loving 'this girl. If you will stop buying her cnnilv nnd tnkinc her to dances you will find out the result. She is just taking up vour time. She has no love for you. The way she talks to you she simply likes your candy, etc.. for if she loved you she would also do her best to help "ou out saving and not let you spend it all on her. If you don't stop this you will never be nble to marry the right girl when she comes along. What do the readers think. Am I right or wrong? I am a girl of nineteen nnd I'm deeply in love with a fellow also of nineteen. I know he is working very hard trjing to save up enough money to furnish our little home, nud I'm also trying vcry hard to help him out because I love him from the depth of my heart. If I didn't care for him I wouldn't care how much he spent on me, but I do care, and always tell him that the money ho has to spend on fool ish things, such as candy 'and other things, should be saved and used when we need it for useful things. We are going to be married as soon ns we are twenty. Well, R. F. K., I wish you good luck and hope to hear from you. Just tell me if I'm right or Sho wears French shoes and a Chi nese headdress.

EXTRA L JX ACT ?c 7i As pecial-tea It's our specialty in blending that makes special Tea of Tetley's! We start out by selecting the very finest leaves, and then we follow it up, by being most particular about the way they're blended. TETLEY'S TEA You have only to try a fragrant cup of Tetley's amber colored Orange Pekoe Tea to understand what we're talking about Have some with dinner! saw these lovely shallow certain kind nf .Tnnnnps ware I made a note of the name of the ware. But alas, I put it away much too carefully, nnd now it cannot be found. But not for nothing did I larn my list of 100 words which wns to heln my memory in one evening. I am pretty sure that Kochi, or no, maybe it is Kouchi that is the name of the ware. At any rate, when it is made by the Japanese potters, each color and there are many is fired separately, while in most pottery nil the colors nre fired nt th" same time. Now there is a certain shop that has a collection of these bowls, which have formerly been priced from about l?5 up. But the shop is to be moved, nnd so much of the stock is being disposed of nt greatly reduced prices. So these bowls have been re priced, beginning at $2.75. The longer I live, the more firmly do I become convinced that it is the neck fixings of a dress that will make or ruin the entire effect. And if one is n careful shopper, one may find the very collar or trill that will heighten the charm of n little frock, and yet not carry an exorbitant price. Take the collars I have in mind, for instnnce. They are of glistening white organdie and consist of scallop after scallop, each with a tiny row of hemstitching. They are for round-necked dresses nnd nrc priced at sixty cents each. And speaking of collars reminds me of barpins. And speaking of barpins reminds me of those I saw for $1.(15, reduced from ?2.G0 (who said that n woman's mind is not logical?) They nre of sterling silver finish and are set with gleaming, darting brilliants, nnd the pinkest and glowingest baroque pearls you can ever hope to possess. The design I liked best has first a well polished pearl, then a tiny spray of brilliants, then another pearl, nnd so on. It is, indeed, a beauty. InformarRefreshments To the lUUtor of Woman's root!

Superfluous Hair To the Editor ot Woman's Pane: Dear Madam Will you kindly send me the name and address of a trusty, worthy, reliable person who removes superfluous hair? I had a small growth on my chin. I went to n certain der matologist In the center of the city. I nnM n tn Mm. Although the growth I wns removed, nfter three months it was three times ns bad ns nt nrsi. i wem to another woman, supposedly nn ex pert In this business, and although I had n complete removal at every sit ting it continually returns and she tells me I must make n number of visits be fore the roots are entirely killed. Cap superfluous hnir be positively nnd per manently destroyed by the electric needle? I do wish you would help a constant render who would be ever GRATEFUL. I could not do more than tell jou to consult n facial specialist, just as jou have done, but I could not definitely recommend any ' speclnl one through this column. Of course, the experts nuibt know what they nrc doing, and I am quite sure that any one would re quire scverul treatments before remov ing the roots completely. . It is claimed that the electric needle has been suc cessful in removing superfluous hnir, but, of course, it is not witntn my province to guarantee or condemn it. A Leap Year Party To the Editor of Woman's Pane: Dear Madam I havo been reading your interesting letters, and now I think vou might be able to help me. I am a girl of sixteen, attending high school. I would like to give a leap year party. Would it be proper to send invitations to the girls nnd have them each invite a boy? How should the in vitations be written? I would like them to bring boys from their home town. Is there nny way of telling them without making it sound funny? Please give suggestions for refreshments, decora tions and favors. Please suggest some thing not too expensive. II. B. Write a regular formal invitation. nnd then nt the bottom add "Miss is requested to invite her own partner to enry out the lenp-yenr idea." I am sending you some games, deco rations and refreshments. For favors, you might have red paper, 'hearts for tha boys, from which different shaped keys have been cut. Cover the keys with silver paper and use them for the girls' favors. Then let them match the hearts nnd keys to get supper partners. THE ENTHUSIASTIC GIRL WHO DOES NO WORK She Is So Interested in All the Preparations for an Affair That She Promises, to Help and Then She Never Turns Up THE meeting wns adjourned for refreshments, nnd the members gathered in little groups discussing the business that had just been finished. "I think the entertainment will DC perfectly fine," one girl wns saying en thusiastically. "Oh, yes, I'll take some tickets to sell, nnd I'll come down on Saturday afternoon to help you deco rate. Now. how many tickets do you want me to sell?" She was all interest, nil eagerness to help and work. On Saturday after noon one of the three girls who wcro to do the decorating wns called upon to do something else. But the other two elrls didn't mind. "Elsio said she'd be here for sure to help, nnd she can just nil in that place," tney saiu. Fortunately they started in without Elsie: for Elsie did not nnnear. The afternoon passed, the decorations were nil finished, and Elsie was not heard from. She came to the entertainment. though, and admired the decorations extravagantly. When she wns asked about the tickets that she wns to have sold she gasped in dismay. "Wasn't it awful? I didn't sell one," she ex claimed. "I tried two or three people nnd they didn't want nny, and after that I just sort ot lost heart and then I forgot." She hnd a delightful time that night. too. She always does have a good time, and yet she never works for it nt nil. She seems perfectly content to let everybody else go ahead and sell all the tickets, make all the arrangements, put up all the decorations" nnd send out all the notices nnd get all tired out, while she just enjoys herself. She fur nishes more than her quota of enthu siasm at the start, and evidently feels that that is her "bit." for that is all she ever furnishes. AFTER while she will begin to wonder in nn abused way why it is that nobody ever gives her anything to do. When there are tickets to sell every body else is given the usual ten or twenty, nnd Elsie gets five if she gets nny. Other girls are put on commit tees, made chairmen nnd asked to help, but she is left out. Nobody seems to consider her at all. And she doesn't know why this should be.
