THE STREETS OF LIFE
By HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
CavvriaM. lttO, u th Public Ltdocr Co.
Her First
.dime Carter's beautiful young
mother committed suicide ichen Anne
teas onlv seven iears old, because
the could not stand the cruelty of
Anne s father. Jim tarter thought
his wife weak and vain, and leit Anne
inherit her mother's nature, she icas
deprived of everything that most
young girls accept as their right. In
Greenville, a small toten icherc Anne
it brought up, her only friend is
Cherry Harding, irhom she clings to
without her father's knoiclcdge. Sud
denly, however, things are changed,
and Mr. Carter brings home a man
1o dinner, a man ichom he urges
Anne to like.
ANNE did not know what .she had
"" really expected from Cherry. She
was vaguely sorry, too, that she had
said anything nt all about Hill Snyder,
for Cherry hadn't helped the situation
nt all. Anne was slightly disappointed
in Cherry for the tirht time in her life,
although the good -by between the
two girls that nfternoon was as enthu
siastic ns usual. No matter what
Cherry thought, Anne clung to her ns
the one friend of her life, who would
soon go away and leave her.
Chorry lived ncross the square from
the round wooden bandstand, nnd as
Anne came dirwn the steps of the
Hnrding vernnda she -aw tho men mov
ing around in it getting ready for the
baud concert that night. A great surge
ot longing Hooded her heart. It was
not longing nlone to hear a band con
cert, but to have the other thlugs that
girls had, pretty drexses, nnd n chintz
hung room like Cherry's, and boys who
lounged on the steps of one's home,
strumming mundollus; boys in white
fldnnsls and dark blue coats who laugh
ed and told jokes ; boys like John
Porterlleld who were amusing and made
pretty compliments without disturbing
her, ns her father's frleud Hill Snjder
did.
When she reached home, her father
sat on the steps of tho porch.
"Where have you been?" ho nsked.
"For a walk," Anne flushed. It was
tho truth but not all of it, and her
frank nature shrank nt even an implied
falsehood. But her father did not seem
to notice.
"I saw Bill Snyder today," he re
marked. Anno had stepped up on tho porch
end was holding the screen door open.
"You did?" she said, politely.
''Hero, sit down a moment," her
father said, trying to bo genial. "I

Concert
Anne came hesitatingly and sat be
side him nn the step of the porch.
"Ever been to a band concert?" her
father asked after a moment's silence.
Anne shook her bend.
"Like to go to one, I'll bet?" nc
stole a side glance at her. Anne was
silent.
"Well. Bill Snyder said he'd drive
over tonight nnd take you, nnd I'm go
ing to let you go."
He waited for he knew not what.
Having repressed all enthusiasm in
Anne's nature for so long, having pun
ished her for the most trivial and
nutural longings, ho expected her rr.
respond in nn instant, to turn glnd
eyes on him. to thank him. But sue
did none of those things.
She was dumb. Any Joy that sho
might have had in going to tho band
concert wns swallowed up in tho knowl
edge that she was going with Bill
Snyder. She did not like the mnn ; he
frightened her. but she did not dare to
confess this to her father.
"Better go up nnd dress," he snld.
after n minute when Anne sat there
without saying anything.
She got up slowly nnd went Into the
house. She came down to supper in
her one white dress, nnd as she was
about to enter tho dining room she
heard her father sny to Aunt Martha:
"Anne's going to the band concert
with Bill Snyder tonight."
Aunt Mnrthn mumbled something.
"I thought she'd ha tickled to death."
Jim Carter went on, "but she never
.nid a thing when I told her."
"Oh. she's glnd enough," Aunt
Martha remarked. "Anne's a queer
one. quiet ns a mouse most of the time.
You've done well with her, Jim; begin
early with a child is what I always
say. She don't seem to have much of
Alice's foolishness about her, after all."
"She'll be different, too, when she's
married and in her own home," Jim
farter went on. "Bill's no kid him
self; he'll appreciate n girl like Anne
who hasn't been around with anybody
else. I wish she wasn't bo quiet,
though."
"Better quiet than one of those
chattering women like the Harding
girl." Aunt Martha returned sagely.
And then Anne, who felt that sho coniil
not stand and listen uny longer, walked
Into the room. Hur aunt looked
suspiciously nt tho flaming cheeks. If
Anno had used any of that stuff that
mine in little round boxes from tho
drug store she'd be punished, big girl
as sho was. But the red quickly faded
nut of Anne's cheeks and by the time
tho girl wns seated at the table her
face was quite white again,

What to Do
By CYNTHIA
Says Cynthia Has Horso Sensa
Icar Cynthia Many girls have writ
ten to you nnd nsked you many ques
tions. Often I've wondered how you
could ever answer them In tho wonder
ful way you do. And after thinking
a long time, I decided that It was mere
"horse Bensc."
Now, Cynthia denr, if I may, I'm
going to try and nnswer every ono of
these questions for you.
Girls, do you know that all through
the ages womun has been the model of
man? Well, In a material way she has.
Take Adam did ho sin before Eve
nsked him to? So It Is over nnd over
again. It may seem wrong but I must
confess I've found that nine out of
every ten times It is up to the woman.
If she sins, so does the whole world.
We must be like artists. If wc care
to have tho world before our feet we
must put the best wc have in our mas
terpiece. And ours is ourselves.
Judge by common sense all the ques
tions your mind is troubled with nnd
apply the memory of your mnstcrplccc.

Common sense Is a great solver of
difficulties, but some of us cannot
always apply It In our own cases, and
so we ask Home one who is neutral.

She Loves .an Italian
Dear Cynthia I nm n young girl of
twenty yenrs and am in love with an
American-Italian nnd my mother thinks
that.lt is awful to go with an Italian.
Now, Cynthln, dear, do you think it Is
nil right? He is a very respectable
young man and everybody likes htm.
ANXIOUS.
Your mother may have another reason,
for if the man is nn American with
Italian blood, he knows American ways.
However, because our ways nnd for
eigners' are apt to be different in many
customs, an American girl should be
very sure of his love before she accepts
him and very sure that she will be will
ing to stand for these differences. For
eign customs nre very irksome to an
independent American girl.

A CHARMING FROCK
FOR THE YOUNG GIRL
SsS9t
White organdie, mode very simple,
with fullness on tho hips, but not
boulTancy. The piping on the collar
is n new note that is very popular.
Another new not that is really n
revival of something old Is the
little bouquets of flowers on tho
waist and sleeves
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
FROM n Parisian acquaintance of
mine comes the word in a letter re
ceived just yesterdny that in the French
capital and elsewhere in France for
it is quite a mistake to imagine that
nil fashionable French women are Pa
risians "everything is being worn."
It 1h n mistake, says this Parisian,
to imagine thnt any " ono tendency,
whether Egyptian, Chinese, 1870 with
its funny little bustle that Chcrult has
just launched, Dircctoire which has been
predicted for nutumn, the extreme bouf
fnncy or the straight, narrow silhouette,
that nny one of these things is pre
eminent. The fact is, wherever one goes
over there one sees some women wear
ing almost every conceivable style.
So, although many of the smartest
of the new things do show the strlght,
narrow lines, others show bouffancy
nnd others aro just In between. Thcro
nre full skirts and scant skirts, short
sklrtH and well, very occasionally on
a negligee or nn unusual evening frock,
a very long skirt.
For the young American girl thero
is nothing so charming tills spring and
Rummer ns tho happy sort of frock such
as I have shown today. Tho skirt is
full, thero Ih hip fulneftB without nny
extreme bouffnncy. It is of white or
gandie with n wide collar bound on the
edge with a piping of the same material
forming scallops. This, by the way,
Is ono of tho smartest of the new
methods of trimming; It is decorated
about tho hips in the same manner.
Tho quaintness of the frock Is achieved
and a touch of color is added by bou
quets of bright-colored flowers that trim
tho front of tho bodice and the short
sleeves.
And, by the way, it is a joy that we
are getting back to the fad for .wear
Ing little bunches of artificial flowers

But this is tho timo of year when you think more about lints of all hinds
than you do about anything else. This ono Is especially interesting bo
cause it can bo worn at any timo from now until October, nnd for any
occasion. It is of black Chantllly loco, held in plnco by black llsere
straw. The brush nt the side is ostrich. Tho dotted foulard frock is
very attractive, trimmed with pleated slllt in a soft ivory tono
crowd becauso I can't dnnce? Also,
Cynthia, what Is the proper way to ask
a girl if 1 may escort ucr nome
"INEXPERIENCED."
Do not worry nbout It. Go nnd do
as the other men do who do not dance.
You will probably find girls at the
party who do not dnnce nnd you can
talk to them. Do not take 'your musi
cal instrument with you unless you
have been Invited to do so.
If there is n speclnl girl you want
to take home from tho party, It would
bo wise to telephone or write to her
before tho affair, asking if you may
take her and nt what time you may
call.
You would do well to take a few
dancing lessons if you nro going to
parties now.
"Experienced" to "Paul"
Denr Cvnthln Here I am again nnd
I would "like to bay a few words to
"Paul," through your columns.
"Paul" I think that like you I will
have to take a few things back. When
I wrote before I (lid not mean to say
that all men were nllke. Of course, I
understand there are always good nnd
bad In everything.
But don't you think If you had had
some of the experience I hnd, you
would for n time judge nil bv thnt
one? You know when you rcnlly love
some one nnd ho shatters your dreams
and love, you feel pretty bad.
. I said I lost all my love for him, but
awny down in my henrt there is still
a little lovo burning for him. I loved
him too much to forget him. but now
the hurt is dying awny nnd I sec man
In n different light. I wns feeling blue
when I rend the letter of "Thunder
nnd Lightning" and I felt that they
were correct. I have met men since
nnd I suppose that it lias been the
old love affair thnt made me treat them
well, sort of different and stiff. I
didn't want .to fnll in love again, nnd I
will never kiss n mnn ngaln unless I
am engaged to him and sure of him.
But now, own up Paul, don't you like
a girl better who lets you, kiss her
when you take her home than ono who
refuses? That'R natural, but take ad
vice from one who knows don't make
your kisses too loving, or there may
be moro of these broken-henrted love
affairs.
I suppose I seem nn old hen to you,
but with it all I nm only twenty. Per
haps you think it wns only whnt they
call puppy love, but It wasn't. I may
be young, but I have old Ideas as would
any one who has no parents and has
been taking care of herself since she
was fourteen. That's what I have
been doing. Perhaps if I had had a
parent, a mother or n father to help
me, I would not be ns I nm today.
Write again, Paul, I like your letters.
And you, too, Cynthia.
"EXPERIENCED."
Don't Try Too Hard
Mrs. A. T. R. I do not think I
would expect the little girl to call me
"mother." After all, no matter how
close a child may grow to a step
mother, if she wns old enough to know
and lovo her own mother she will not
want to give another tier name.
Perhaps you show you arc anxious
to win her. Be kind nnd gentle al
ways, and welcome her friends, hut do
not try to Join in the pnrty. Help her
with tho refreshments and meet the
boys nnd girls letting them know you
are there it neeueti, nut uo not stny
around. Do not try too hard. And,
above nil do not worry your husband
over it. It mnKes Mm unhappy and
uneomfortnblo nnd strains relations
between him and his daughter, and
between you nnd him.
Ideal Girl's Qualifications
Dear Cynthia Having been n silent
render of your column for some time,
I would now llko to "chime In" with a
few of whnt I can find of the things
that a man looks for In a girl; and I
think if more cultivated them less would
be jilted. Try it, girls, nnd seo if I
nm right.
Bo neat. in appearance. Don't wear
very expensive things, but dress sensi
bly. Ilnvc your fingernails clean.
Trent a boy friend ns you would a
girl friend. Do not go with him for his
money, but for his ownself; not his
looks, but his ideals.
Dance, not vulgarly, but refined. Play
cards. Be a sport In nil ways.
Powder nnd rougo in moderation.
Do not let tho fellows kiss you, if you
want their respect; neither let them
"lovo you up."
Be nice to all and not just some.
When put tell them you have to be
home before 1 o'clock. Let them meet
your family. Do not meet them on
street corners. Do not go to "jazz
balls" nnd do not graft.
Do not chew gum. Do not use too
much slang, and learn to converse on
topics of the day, history, and not so
much "soft stuff."
.Now, girls, maybe this seems hard at
first, but I am sure that if you could sea
yourselves as others see you maybo you
would change in your attitude, etc.
IDEALISTIC FOREVER.
Was She Right?
Dear Cynthia Several nights ago I
wanted to call a girl friend on tho phono
and, getting tho wrong number, It was
answered by a young mnn, who started
a conversation with me.
We talked for several minutes, nnd
then he nsked me to meet him outside
of ono of tho stores ''downtown,'' which
I did. He seemed very pleasant, nnd
nsked me if he could cal to see me,
I told him I would let him know.

Some Party Suggestions
To th Editor o Womcm't Paosi
Dear Madam I nm writing in regard
o a "swcct-slxtccn" birthday party, to
bo held in tho latter part of April.
How should tho room bo decorated?
How should I bo dressed nnd what are
my duties? What refreshments should
be served and how should tho table be
decorated? Would like sumo to bo in
expensive. There will also be n small club of
which I nm a member present, and l
havo overheard that they expect to buy
something for me. Upon receiving
snmc, what, would be appropriate to
say to thnnk the club and wish Uicra
success? T. II.
By the end of this month there will
bo flowors In bloom. Use them as
much as possible In your decorations.
Have bowls of them, wlhl flowers If
possible, on tho tables or mantel or
book cases wherever there is a place.
If you could get some fruit tree blosr
soras It would be lovely to have them
In prominent places, too.
I supposo your party will be in tne
evening, won't it? You didn't say.
it is, your dress should be a light,
pretty affair with low neck ami short
sleeves, but nothing elnborntc. A
simple Httlo.organdlo summer dress
would bo perfectly appropriate if .you
havo no evening dress. Wear black
slippers and silk stockings with the
evening dress or slippers nnd stockings
to match and white pumps or slippers
nnd white stockings with tho summer
dress. Your duties arc to greet each
guest who enters, not nt the door, but
in the room whero tho party will be
held. You should Introduce them so
your mother, who will , m1to witt
vou, and to your sister, if she" doesn t
know them. Until every one has
arrived, you can do nothing but that,
but when every one is there, it will ue
vour duty to propose tho games nnu
keep things going. Of course your
sister can help you and so can your
mother, but It will bo up to you to see
that everybody is Into things. If you
see some girl sitting nlone, go to her
nnd drnw her into the game or the con
vorsntion nnd mako sure she is at case
and happy before you leave her. Jie
Just as cordial to one person as you arc
to another, nnd Just ns natural and
sweet to everybody as you can bo.
For refreshments have punch nnd
snndwiches nnd ice-cream nnd enko.
Have tho punch bowl and sandwiches on
the tnblo nil evening, so that the guests
can help themselves at any time, and
then have tne ice-crenin uuu time .
on ns regular refreshments. Plnco the
punch bowl' In the center of the table In
n lnrge square hat box. Put the lid on
the box nnd cut n hole in tho ton so
that the lid will come Just to the edges
of the bowl. Then paint the outside of
the box in rough, uneven squares to
look like stones so that the box will
rcscmblo n well. Then fnstcn some
branches with npplc blossoms on them
nt tho side of tho "well." You won't
need nny other decorations.
It will not bo necessary for you to
give any toasts If the party is given in
vour honor. Some ono may propose a
toast to the "Sweet Sixteen." and you
may reply by toasting tho hcnlth nnd
prosperity of your guests. If you aro
presented with n gift simply thnnk the
representative of the club who presents
It, nnd sny that you hopo you enn be
ns much of n pleasure to the club ns
tho club has ben to you, or something
of that sort. It is better to bo nntural
nnd spontaneous Instead of trying to
say something dignified or nppropriatc.
I hope this pnrty will be n success.

Care of Suede Slippers
To tho Editor ot Wcmon' Faoe:
Dear Madam The writer would ap
preciate it very much, indeed, if you
would tell her, through the valued
columns of your paper, how to take
candlo grense stains off the points of
brown sucdo slippers. Also kindly ad
vise how td take general good care of
them; how to brush them; what kind
of brush to use, etc.
I have worn tueso suppers out twice
and do not like to discard them at such
early date. A. R. II.
Scrape ns much of the grease as pos
sible with n knife. Then place blotting
paper over the tips and press a hot iron
against it. The greaso will melt and
become nbsorbed by the blotting paper.
You may have to repeat tills to get it nil
off. Use any kind of stiff brush for these
slippers; a five-cent nail brush will do.
Thero aro commercial cleaners sold in
the stores thnt nro very good .for suede
shoes. Brush them off every time you
put them nwny nfter wearing them, and
clean them with the speclnl cleanor
whenever they look dull or soiled.

HER AMBITION
WHEN SHE WAS
,,, I, . ,i
She Had Always Wanted to Go to College and Never Coutd
Until She Was Old Would You Keep Your . !
Ambition
HOW long havo you been carrying an j
ambition nbout with you? Every
body has somo ambition almost every
body. There nro some of 'us, who seem
to be content "nsis," nnd perfectly
willing to go on as they are because
it's too hard to do anything else. Wo
haven't very much respect for those
Ecoplc. But tho rest of us have, or
avc had at some timo in our lives,
a very live, burning ambition.
Somo ot us want to write. I know
one girl who has wanted to write for
eighteen years. Circumstances pushed
her into the business world nnd made
her n stenographer. She made good,
but the ambition was still flaming high.
Finally she got a placo where she could
rest n while and now she's going to
indulge that ambition nt last. She's
going to tako a short-story course and
get busy at tho thing she loves.
Some of us want to bo actors. Wc
can't on account of parental objec
tions, home tics, lack of opportunity,
a thousand' reasons. Wc peg along at
somo despised task, waiting, wishing,
hoping, bottling up thnt ambition but
keeping it ready for that ono chance
that may come.
Perhaps wo want'to own an automo
bile. Wo havo kept pictures of auto
mobiles for years, wo go to every show
thnt comes along. Wo dream nnd wish
and hope. Then nfter while wc sny,
"Oh, what's tho usel" and drop that
ambition by tho wayside. We'vo had
it for ten years now, and nothing's hap
pened. Might ns well give it up.
Wo often drop them. Wo cling. to
them nnd hopo and wish and want for
years and nothing happens. Wo feel
sure that nothing ever will, because if it
wns going to it would have long ago. So
we shako off our dcslro for that thing

IF YOU have ever, on your summer
vacation, carried a wet bathing suit
gingerly, you will appreciate one of the
bathing-suit bags I nm to till you
about. They arc black, rubber-lined,
nnd I saw two styles. That which pulls,
together with a drawing string is $3.
Tho other, which has n nice-looking
clasp, is 3.75. Either one is quite large
enough to hold your suit, cap and gen
eral incidentals.
The study of color psychology Is a
most Interesting one. Wntch a person
make his choice from n French pastry
tray, nnd notice how, nine times out of
ten, he will choose the brightest, fan
ciest bit of pastry in tho collection. Or
notice which blouse in n window display
will flrBt attract your attention, nnd
you will find it to be n vividly colored
one. Well, thnt Is tho wny I nccouut
for my having noticed nnd liked the
tiny little hat boxes. One, for in
stance, is blnck nnu white striped,
sprinkled with tiny pink rosebuds.
Tucked nway inside nre five little snt
iuy sachets, for placing in your lingerie.
One of these boxes would make a par
ticularly nice gift for a Bhower. Tho
price is $1.75.
This cleaner for knives, pots nnd pons
has several advantages. Ono is thnt it
docs awny with the necessity for a lot
of extra cloths, and ojso does away with
those soiled spots on tea towels and dish
cloths. This cleaner, then, looks ex
actly like a rather generous sized cork.
Ono simply rubs It on tho spotty knife
or pnn, nnd nwny goes tho spot. It is
considered very good, nnd a most con
venient kitchen tool.
I'll never forget the timo I went to
visit Lnurn, who obligingly offered to
pnlnt my stiff back with iodine. And
behold, the iodine spilled all over her
new white kid belt nnd her brand-new
white collar nnd cuffs. She should have
had ono of the iodine containers, or
"iodine pencils," as they are called.
This container looks very much llko a
glass tube, with a sort of wick in one
end. One fills the tube with iodine
nnd then when the iodine is to be ap
plied a 'patent devico feeds It on to the
wick, with which ono paints the nf
flictcd part. This is n snfe, convenient
and economical way to use iodine, one
which I can strongly rccommcnl. Tho
price is fifty cents.
Tho secret of successful baking fre
quently is inseparable from accurate
measurements. And taking a teaspoon
ful and guessing what a quarter or a
half of it is does not make for accurate
measurements. Which is a good reason
for your buying a set of tho fat, round

A tender kiss is not amiss
With your nrms once moro entwined.
And love comes bnck tho long lost track '
Through smiling years and laughing

To be forever thine.
