In New England.

J PUT RED WITH BROWN TO LOOK VERY SMART Red tricolette embroidered in brown silk for the pointed bodice with its French sleees and cut. Brown tricolette was used for the skirt and the result is a striking frock that has more than just a hint of Paris about it A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose THERE is one class of frork shown for this spring that has the unmistakable earmark of French inspiration. The fact is that we have been very slow in i adopting this pliafC of the French fash I inn and although it was launched in Paris twelve mouths ago it is only now I that it has oome to be generally accepted 1 on this side of the Atlnutic. I refer I to the tjpe of frock I am showing here I abbreviated sleeves, long waist line, I plain bodice jou know the type. In the little frock shown here there i are some new touches. You can see nt ' a glunce that it is of this season's ' vintage. Although It is of the general ; type of frock that has been smart in 1 Paris for months, there are details that are very now. The point in the front of the bodice, for instance, is new, and so Is the arrangement of the side I drapery. Then, if j-ou could just turn I the little lady who is wearing this frock around, you would see that the bodice is bloused low in back and held in place with a cord of brown silk. And that I is an earmark of the clothes of 1020 I also. But perhaps the most interesting I thing about it is the color. I wish that the sketch might be reproduced to you in colors, so that j-ou could get the full I effect of It. for It is one of the smart new combinations, and I am eager to j have you get the full effect of its smart ness. For whether you like It or not ijou'll have to admit that it is smart. Red and brown. 1 Of course it was Inevitable that some color would bo added to brown to make w ' M aj?t'?"rVXMAVir.Cm its appeal stronger for spring. It was still smart, but it needed something to give it pep. To be sure, some of the dressmakers and designers hnve com bined it with green to advantage, and brown and tan are distinctive. But it took this not altogether harmonious combination of red and brown to take the palm, and it is gradually making its uppearance in the wardrobes of women who go in for the really smart things. Of course it is a combination that is inclined to be trying. If you are sal low skinned, don t take to it unless you don't care how sallow you look. If you nre of matronly years or matronly build, steer clear of it, but if you are rair and debonnaire then go ahead with your brown and red, and be secure in the feeling that you are in the vunguard of fashion. . (CopyrlsM, 11:0. by Flor()ce rtoe ) Si Adventures With a Purse HE you one of those steady-nerved -keen-eyed persons who can thread the finest of needles with most any weight thread nnd without any diffi cult ? If so, you need not rend further. But if you nre one of the weaker sisters, and worry jourself eross-ejed over try ing to thread a needle which acts as if it were never meant to be threaded in the first place, why, then, dear render, carry on 1 for I write of n most ingenious little contrivance which makes ucedle-thrcnd-ing a joy forever! It is n little wooden block, with a place for your spool of thread, aud back of this place for your thread is u little tilted round magnifying glnss. By the simple cxpedleut of hold ing needle and thread under this tluy gluss, the eye of the needle becomes magnified to such an extent that you put the thread through the very first time. Isn't thnt a good idea? The price of one is S1.G0. He is a kindly old man with such n friendly twinkle in his shrewd eye. Aud somehow one feels that he hns been framing pictures always. For there Is thnt about the quiet assured manner in which lie goes about advising you that inspires jour immediate confidence In his judgment. You, perhaps, have taken him jour favorite picture to be framed, and are not quite sure just how it can be framed to the best ndvantagc. So to him you tell your troubles, nnd with out u moment's hesitation ho shows joti the ery frame that jou knew all along was the one you had lu miud. His musty shop, with its scent of shellac, or wbntoer it is that he uses in his work, is somewhat out of the way. But the prices he charges for his work, which is always well done, arc so much below the average picturc-framer's prices that it roully pajs to seek him out. The price of lamps, like the price of every other blessed thing, mounts higher and higher. I still know of one place, how ever, that is making u specialty of a lamp standing some twelve or fifteen inches high, with a mahogany base, nnd a Mlk-lined shade, trimmed with fringe, for $4.!S. So if jou are looking for a new lamp for the living room, I think it will pay jou to stop in and see these.

Letters About Sailors Again three cheers for the sailors' friends ! Cynthia acknowledges letters from One Sailor's Wife, An American, ad, Evcrj body's Pal, Leonora, Two Six tieth Street Girls, An Observer, II. A.

She Thinks It's Heavenly Dear Cynthia Since so many read ers hne been sending in their opinions '"n the momentous question of why girls close their eyes wheu kissed, I thought I'd write, too. My opinion is just this: What girl wouldn't shut her eyes when she is eing kissed? The thrill is so heavenly that she just closes her eyes from sheer joy. For my part, I'd just huve to tlose my eyes, nnd I think every other girl would too. Ki-sing at least among nice girls is such an extraordinary thing, so out of common, everjday life that all prosaic things must bo shut out from our vision. Don't you ugrce with me, Cynthiu? Let's hear from some of the other readers, and Buck Private, too, who, I be'ieve, is responsible for this discus sion. And u word to you girls who have been saying it's his face that makes girls close their eyes when they kiss him. Don't be so hard on him. I'm sure he is wonderful looking, or else the girls wouldn't kiss him nt all. Aren t you. Buck Private.' Please write and tell us. We won't think you conceited, will we, girls? TED. Unjustly Treated Denr Cynthia I um a sixteen-year- old girl attending boarding school near. Chicago. I live near Philadelphia, and subscribe to the Eveni.no Public Ledger when I am at school. I want to tell j-ou of a little affair I had here last week. One night about 8 o'clock I was looking out of my window, on the first floor, when I noticed two young men on the lawn nenr me. They spoke to me, nnd I answered them, just a little word of greeting. At that moment one of the teachers entered the room, and I was punished severely for speak ing to them. I consider it unjust, and would like n little sympathy. The boys were very refined looking and were talk ing to me in the most harmless manner. Please answer in the Evemno Pun Lie Ledoek nnd tell me if you think I did wrong to speak to them. V. M. S. Your teacher was quite right, dear, no matter how refined the boys may seem; jou bhould not make acquain tances in that way. Let Him Make It Up Dear Cynthia I am a girl of eight een, considered good looking by both sexes. I met a young man a few mouths ago and learned to care for him very much. I had a quarrel with him and I gave him up. I sec him quite often. Should I speak to him when I see him? And how could I win his friendship back? WORRIED. Of course, speak when you meet the young man, but let him make the ad vances toward renewal of friendship. About Dancing Dear Cynthiu May I have j'our opin ion on dancing, especially on the now famous dance called the "Shimmy"? Is is good form to dance this dance? May I have the opinion of the oppo site sex also? BLACK EVES. The shimmy, it seems to be generally conceded, is not n nice dance. And it is not considered good form to dance it. Says Various Things Dear Cynthia Many times I have heard people argue on this subject and now I want to know, arc there any people in this column who can tell me "Why girls like to be flattered"? Another thing I don't teem to un derstand is why do girls who walk the streets today (some of them) put on ways that are unnatural? I have n very intimate friend, in fact she has a wonderful disposition, but on the 6trcet she is awfully stuck on herself, while at work she Is like every other work ipg girl. iiisien, j reutuj v, utitr worry about a girl klRslng an ugly fellow, we ' x m&r' "They Write of Many Things to Cynthia READY FOR SPRING , jjKr if V-k j f '( Jt 9gmKlBBKBSB&BBB8SBFQ8SBF?$ 3 v tH iMHuH wv.;x "ife-v '1fcrsv? s . . -ytem if--i' '.. ' .Wiv $.- s . v W v.'.Kf j.c, 'til Speak Up, Girh! Tell Him He's Wrong Dear Cynthia Why is it that all the girls I travel around with know just how to kiss? They all seem to be experienced. I am wondering if there's any girls in Phllly or Chester that were never kissed. I know I'm asking too much. But I know you and your readers will help me. . MAMMA' 8 BOY. cannot help what kind of looks we are given, for beauty is only skin deep. My idea is maybe it isn't his looks she loves hut his disposition and character. If you love a fellow for looks, God help j-ou. You will realize it later, dear, for I married for looks and money and now I regret it more and more every day. If I were to start over again I would marry a man who has neither looks nor money but one with a lovely disposi tion, so take a tip from one who made a terrible mistake. I am from Missouri nnd sure do enjoy reading the Evening Pi'blio Ledoeii. Buck Private, speak up again, or ignore those who knock you, for they do not know any better, anly want to be different. "THE SPARROW". Shall She Speak? Dear Cjnthia I know a girl who went with me for a time. In the movies she wouldn't spiak to me. but as I was going out she said, "Hello." Should I speak to her or not? DIMPLES. Of course, speak to her, dear. Really you little girls will hurt your dlsposl tiou and character if you keep on hav ing silly quarrels, and refuso to speak to each other over trifles. Not the Same Blllie Dear Cynthia I have been just a bit amused recently over the question usked bv "Buck Private" nnd the answers that have followed. Now I find mjself somwhat concerned instead of amused, nnd I should like to stute that I am a joung man, well beyond, whut is usually termed the "silly kid" age. I mean by that near thirty years of age and active in the business world six days in the week. In mv opinion, some of the best and some of the most nbsurd answers to "Buck Private" appear in the Evemno Public Lekgeb of January 30. I agree with Sophie D. and Scuga. Chester and "The Vamp" gave what they probably thought were comlcnl an swers, but I think the joke is decidedly on them or any one else who may cuoose to send such a reply to a question which no doubt "Buck Private" asked in all sincerity. It probably seemed abrupt, but I have no doubt there are thousands of such fellows (I mean genuine true-blue chaps) as "Buck Private." I should liKo to answer mine, ana would begin by asking her "what kind of fellows she Is in the habit of kiss ing?" Tnking it for granted that Cynthia's column is conducted for the .benefit of self-respecting individuals, I think Billie's answer is In line for consider nble condemnation, whether expressed or not, nnd is, to say the least, ridicu lous. What sensible girl is going to kiss u man whom she does not (at least) ad mire? And if n'girl Is so deficient in the upper story or so devoid of high ideals that bIio will be guilty of promis cuous kissing, nnd fails to lhe through one of her many experiences, I can't see that we are losing a lot when she shuts her eyes for the last time. BLACKIE. Blaekie means the Billie who wroto in, not the one you' and I are thinking about, T. B. P. How is she, by the way? Dear Cynthia Kindly print this for Anxious: Nothing Wrong With Italy Dear Anxious, what Ih wrong with the Italians that you and your family dislike them? Are they not just as good as you are? If we look forward we are nil alike in this world, no use of saying this and the other. What do you say, Cynthia? I am IN LOVE, You are quite right, one nation la no better than the other to a neutral per son. Any sweeping assertion about a .people Is a mistake home of the finest Her sport, coat is a model that is going to be very popular as tho season advances. It is of soft, woolly material in a. deli cate croam color. But the interesting feature of it is the narrow binding of leather on the collar, cuffs, belt and pock ets, which gives a distinctive touch. Her cream - colored hat Is lined with satin that matches the leather, while m a h ogany flowers arc appliqucd flat all over tho top people in the world arc Italian. Wc will not carry this discussion further. It is foolish to hurt others for no valid rcasou. Tired of Staying Home Dear Cynthia I am a girl fifteen j-enrs old. My father und mother nre always keeping me in the house. They never let me out to u show or to u dance. And I don't know how to get out. If I go to a place they want to know where I am going. After I tell they won't let me go. Can you tell me what to do to get out? And another thing, they won't get me the clothes I want. Please tell me if you can help me, for I can't stand for it. And I am tired of staying homo nil the time. Won't you please help me? I see all the other girls going out und I can't. Please, can you do anything for me? Pleuse, Cj'nthia, tell me what to do. ANXIOUS. Try to realize, dear, that fathers and mothers do know best about little girls of fifteen you will never regret jour obedience. Very few of us" can have all the things we want. Be kind and con siderate at home aud you'll find that those at home will be kind and con siderate of you. Another Rebuke Dear Cynthia Just a few lines from an "ex-top kicker" (army nume for first sergeant), to the private of the buck type. It seems funny to me .that a man who has had sense to remain a buck private all through the war would ask such a foolish question. A woman may shut her eyes at such a time for various reasons. One is that probably tho B. P. was eating onions, nnd the joung lady did not want the tears to start from her ej'cs, or maybe the B. P. is red -headed or was wearing a diamond of the Mexican type and the young lady did not care to be blinded, or maybe she had seen her favorite vamp at the movies do it und thought it was the right thing to do. But taking it nil in all, I think the real reason is that he wasn't the right man and the j-oung lady just shut her eyes and tried to imagine it was. But what's the use, buddie, why try to solve anything a woman does? She has been more or less of a mystery ever since time becau and the more of a mystery she is the better we like her. So, old-timer, let s not worry about why they close their eyes, but let's try to solve the League of Natlohs. I think Cynthia will agree with mo that it will be a far better pastime than trying to get the fair sex down on us. D-TUl' KICK. Praises T. B. P. Dear Cynthia I nm back iigain, and If you will bo so kind I would like to say a few words to buck Prlvnte. Dear Hucit .Private it was with con siderable interest that I read your let ter to Cleonatra. hen I first rend all that nonsense about "Why do girls close their eyes when kissed?" I thought you were one ot tnose silly uids who don't know what to do next to create some excitement, but this letter has exonerated you In my eyes, and I am sure some of the other readers will have a different opinion ot you, especially Mondaln, alias Maudlin. You have a very good line of argu ment, Buck, and I quite agree with what you say. You are a real man and Mildred is a lucky girl. Congratulations and best wishes for a life of health and happiness.

Granville Burton thought that tchen ho married Laurel Stone, a neiospapcr woman, it would be enough to give her wealth and luxury. Bhe wanted lovo and discovered afterward that hts feel ing for her was entirely platomo. No woman idho has been a worker can settle into a life of case without soma incentive more than a monetary one, and Laurel, although she masked her feelings with pride, was.rcstless and unhappy. A Gift Witlwut the Giver Chanter XVIII miffl massive ruby ring which smonld- i- crcd on Laurel's hand had been topped by n thin circlet of enrved platinum. This was her wedding ring. Granville had not stopped there, how ever hut had given her other jewelry ns perfect as everything else thnt sur rounded her. On the day of Laurel's first big af fair, Granville came home from town enrlv nnd sought his wife. As he drove up the winding drive to the Cedars he looked at the long low place nestling in the vivid green of trees nnd shrubbery with more than his usual pride. The thought that he would enter the house and find everything running smoothly filled him with satisfaction. He was highly contented and life was good. The long windows were open to tho verandas on all sides, nnd within the place was cool and scented with flowers. In the grounds men were working ou the decorations, a marquee was being erected, und many twinkling lights were to convert the place into u fairyland. A muid came to take his duster aud his hat, und ho asked for Mrs. Burton. "She has gone to the station in the runabout to meet Miss Bell," tho woman returned. Granville was conscious o a vague feeling of nnnoyance. It wusn't thnt he did not like Winona nnd wish her to visit them. It was that he wanted Laurel to be there when he wanted her. It was very hddom thnt he could get away as early as this from the office, and he had made, a special effort to do it and Laurel was not there, cool and lovely, to meet him. He went on upstairs to his rooms and from tho window of his sitting room saw Laurel drive into the gates a few minutes later. She wore a gown of soft blue organdie nnd a big organdie hat. and she drove the little car her self. AVinonu sat beside her, nnd they were talking und laughing merrily. He flung himself into a chair, feeling suddenly Impatient with himself. He waited until he heard Winona settled in her room, und then he knocked on the door that communicated between his own and Laurel's rooms. "Come in." she called lightly, and he turned the knob and entered. She turned from the low chair and n subtle change came over her face, which he did not notice. When she spoke it wus lightly, and her words were casual. "Home so early?" "Yes." He stood Irresolutely in the center of the room. "What is it, Gran, anything I can do?" "I brought you something for to night," he said, taking a box out of his pocket. She rose, her tull, slim length almost ns tall as his owu. nnd came over lo him. "How lovely," she said n little breathlessly. "Your color," he said lightly and with no small pride, us he took from the box a lovely btring of shimmering blue stones and held it up before her. "Sapphires!" she gasped. "Do you like them? Here let me clasp them for you. I hope thev will go with what you nrc planning to wear." The intenbe blue of the stones brought out the blue of her eyes, which she raised to his as she turned slowly for him to see - effect. He regarded her critically. "Very becoming," he said coolly, after a mo ment. "I thought that blue would he good on you." He turned awny to leave and then, remembering, said casually; "Did Miss Bell come?" A hard look leaped into the softness of Laurel's eyes, and she forced her pride to her aid. "Yes, I drove to the station for her." He nodded. "O, Gran," she called after him, "I didn't thnnk you for the necklace. It is lovely." lie laughed lightly. "Glad you like it. And the door closed behind him. Laurel drew u long breath the minute she was alone. She clenched her hands so tightly that the nails bit into her palms and two glittering tears sprang to her eyes. Then she rose to her feet with a little gesture of defiance. .TmVJ r'?.ut',". s,hc fcaia llal nlud. I II be the kind of a wife he wants. I'll play the game.
