Correct Clothes
Whether you are expecting to bo in
vited anywhere or not, you will be wise
If you plan your midsummer wardrobe
with an eye on the possibility of week
end trips. Correct clothes for week-end
will either make or mar its success. Al
though a cloth suit or tailored dress Is
the correct attire for traveling, custom
permits the use of a dark silk dress or
little dark voile frock in very hot
weather. Foulards aro particularly use
ful and cool, or a little voile dress is
also suitable. The foulard dress could
also be used for church on Sunday on a
cool day. On a hot day a dotted swlss
dreas would be more appronriata. Anil

HAZEL DEYO BATCIIELOR
Cenrioht, list, to PublUs htdoer Oo.
Barbara Knight marries Keith
Grant, the most eligible man of her
set and settles down to married life
with no very real tdea of what mar
riage is. She wants to go right on
queening U over society, and never
'?? Mo consideration thefact that
Keith may have his own ideas about
truiniape. The result is that deprived
of real friends at home nnd forced
because of his love for flnroam to
lead an artificial kind of life Keith
turns to other friends and Katherine
Xewbcry, his private secretary, is the
rncuwi vi iniroaucinj; Aim lo an in
teresting circle of people. I?nrbnra
hears of his friendship with his sec
retary and entirely misunderstands.
She has no one to turn to in her tin
nappinrss and she realises fust how
shallow are most of her friendships.
Then one day she meets an old friend
of her school days.
BARBARA studied Ellso as she faced
her ncross the table. It was the
same KHse, fiery. Interested In llfo, and
as she feared still scornful of the leisure
classes Barbara looked at her with
envy She wondered what she herself
would lmo done If she had suddenly
been deprived of her source of liveli
hood as Kllso had. The waiter came
nnd served them deftly. Over tho hot
pconcs, Barbara urged Ellso to tell her
more.
"Where do you llva and what kind
of work do you havor sho asked
eairerly.
raise smiled "You must have a far
more exciting life than I have, Bar
bara. I suppose you ntlll have all kinds
of admirers "I remember you did at
school and I know you live in a dizzy
whirl of galoty with no tlmo at all for
your husband." .
Barbara flushed and a stab of pain
at the truth that lay behind, tho light
words brought back her unhapplncss. It
was true she never seemed to have much
time for Keith. It made her uncom
fortably conscious of the fact that oho
herself was very much to blame for his
attention' to another woman.
"I get up at 7:30." Ellso went on
without waiting for Barbara to speak.
"I havo an apartment downtown with
another girl and wo take turns getting
brealcfast. I am at the ofllce at 9. I
began there In a cry email Job, nnd,iow
I hae a small desk and a very small
editorship I make 540 a week. I sup
pose you spend as much aa that on
fripperies."
Keith fia.o Barbara an allowance and
besides that she had a certain sum of
money that her father had given her
when she was married. Tho sum that
Ellso madu seemed ridiculously small
to her: In fact, she did not see how It
was possible to manage on It She had
a great deal to learn, and sho won
dered at her own ougerness to resumo
this friendship with a girl who had
always scorned her at tchool as one of
the Idle rich. But that sho was eager
to be friendly with Ello was true.
Somehow sho felt that Ellso could be
trusted.
"Whom do you lle with?" Barbara
asked after a moment's silence ,
"Nancy Fair," EUse returned. "She
wrltea"
"N'ot Nancy Fair who wrote The
Eddy"?"
KUse nodded nonchalantly.
"How splendid I"
"She Is splendid. Tou'd like her."
Td like to meet her." Barbara's
tone was more wistful than she realized.
It touched Ellse. with Its sincerity. Sho
liked Barbara more at that moment
than she ever had before In her life,
hut she was wary of her emotions, and
she said In matter of fact tones:
"You'll have to look us up sometime."
"Oh, I'd love to." There was no mis
taking the sincerity of this. Barbara
opened her Imported bead ha and pulled
out a little silver memorandum book. a.
silly. Inefficient and expenslvo looking
bauble with a little sliver pencil attached
She looked across at Ellse expectantly
and Ellre told her the address.
4 "And now I must go." Ellso said
briskly. Barbara glanced at her little
Jeweled wrist watch and saw that It
was late, much later than she had
thought Sho called for the check, paid
It out of a roll of bills, and the two girls
went out Into the street Twilight was
falling In New York, twilight In spring
which Is almost as romantically lovely
In the city as It Is anywhere, when one
Is happy.
"I suppose you wouldn't care to come
and see me," Barbara said laughingly.
Ells was quick with her reply. "I
have so little time, you see. You look us
up first, and then wo can talk It over."
Barbara nodded, and watched Ellse
hall a bus. Then sho was alone with
ino mo or uie city swirling about her.
She had never felt so lonely In her life.
She hailed a taxi and In doing so re
flected that Ellso probably could not
afford to ride In taxis. This fact made
her suddenly ashamed. Taxis and Httlo
luxuries of that kind she had never
given a thought to, they were like sec
ond nature to her, but on $40 a week one
would have to give a thought to every
penny spent Sho determined as she
rode home through the lighted streets, to
go and see Ellso very soon. She wished
almost humbly for Ellse's friendship. It
was Barbara's first experlenco with
humbleness In any form if sho had but
known It

Keep Quiet and Keep Letters, Too
Dear Cynthia I have been a dally
reader of your paper for the last three
vears and have never written to you
befdre, but have noticed your wise
counsel and being confronted with a
grave problem am addressing these few
lines to you and would very much ap
preciate your valued advice.
t . rnii nf 1917. when I came to
Vil .ltv to take ud my studies. I met
n vnnnir ladv here in the city through a
friend. After calling upon tho young
lndv for almost a year I explained to
her Itr November, 1918, that I still had
three years at Bchool to complete my
course, but that 1 truly loved her and
that if It was not too long for her, and
If she were willing to wait I wanted
her answer to on engagement Sho de
clared her wllllngnebs and I bought and,
presented to her a fraternity pin, though,
of course, I had not and havo never
Set.to this day met her family, since
ie do not live In the city.
t iTnmerilatelv ceased all correspond
ence and had no more dates with any
of my former girl friends and gave all
my time to her, except of course, the
time necessary for study. Everything
seemed to go very smoothly for about
four months, and then I found out that
she was spending quite a few evenings
with other young men. I told her that
I did not approve of this and asked her
to be more considerate, as I felt that
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday were
the only evenings that I could spare, as
I needed and did spend the other eve
nings In study. But It seemed that she
wm not satisfied bv Eolnir out only on
other evenings, but even made dates
with another young man on Wednesday
evening, so that when I camo to her
hoarding nlace It was to be told that she
had gone out with Mr I felt that
this was lust a little too much, ana
therefore I dropped her a courteous
letter, voicing my disapproval of her
actions ana osKirrg mat sne Kinaiy re
turn my fraternity pin, which sne
did, as well as sending three letters In
the week following, In which she said,
"I do not want your love and I do not
want you to try to explain anything
to ma"
I returned to my home town In Geor
gia last summer and renewed ac
quaintances and friendship with a young
lady whom I had known since child
hood, and with whom I went to school
and grew up This friendship culminated
In love, and at Easter time, when I
was at home, I spoke to this young
lady and her parents and they an
nounced our engagement
Since that my friend nnd I havo both
had letters from this young lady. In
which she tries hor ery host to break
our engagement She threatens In addi
tion to sue me for breach of promise.
I still have her letters of which I made
mention. I have iro money, being still
a student and entirely dependent upon
my father. Can she do anything In such
a suit? We Imo disregarded her Blan
der and have glen her no answer. Was
this our best policy? Her slander really
seems to be the work of some of her
friends who are puttlne her un to It
and trying to make us unhappy. I
treated her aa I would Ilka to have a
gentleman treat my dear sister. Cynthia,
please give me a little advice. Though
I stand near the head of my class, yat
this has worried me so that I cannot
eat and sleep, for I feel that I was fair
to her, but she claims that I was not
giving her a square, deal.
PERPLEXED.
She Is probably only trying to frighten
you. If you have these letters saying
that she does not want your love, It
does not seem as If sho could do you
any harm. It would be wisest to Ignore
her letters now, but be sure to keep
them nil, nnd especially the three you
mention, wntcn Btato that she does not
want your loe.
Myl "De Jure" Is Qettlno It

men In spite of himself." Precisely.
"De Jure," I am willing to wager, is
nothing more or less than a self-con-bcIous
boy, rather young, I Judge, from
the tone of his letters and verily. ImVi
Is afraid of girls! I fear my opinion
will hft ftrtmAUthnf tt n hlnw tA "D. J. 6
sophistry, but I am merely a reader
passing by and that Is my verdict of
"D. J.1' from his letters.
Suppose "D. J." answers some ques
tions, too? If girls aro so Inconsequen
tial, Inconsistent and all the rest of his
chofcA RVnnnvmft fwhlnh lift Keems to
imply describe only tho girls), why
give them second thonxiitr Why "train"
yourself "D. J " not to think of a girl
five minutes after you meet her? Then
you' admit they do Interest : we do not
think of things which do not Interest
You convince me that you, after all, are
Just like the rest of them; you are In
terested In girls In splto of yourself,
but some bump of eccentricity, tho de
sire to be different, makes you build
a fence or armor of laughable theories
that truly stamp you a budding youth,
who will not let himself be "normal"
Just an everyday "mere man."
Also, your lettors tutvays sound
forced, not straight from the shoulder,
affected. You "cramp vour style" and
nothing shows you up, "D. J.," as a bad
actor as your power of expression.
Therefore. 1 call your bluff: I dare you
to tell "us readera" your truthful age,
and if I missed my guess the only thing
I hope for you is that you will recover
In time to have a hearty, laugh at your
self some years hence, should you hap
pen to meet your letters again, when
you have acquired a family and have
"degenerated" Into a mere husband.
Your kind always do become that last:
It Is always they who have the loftiest
perch above regular, everyday common
sense who fall tho fastest and Inci
dentally the hardest ' rlonestly, "D. J.."
you are funny. Cheer up, the girls can
manage without you, especially a "boy"
who asks such silly questions as "What
and why Is love?" Just one more ques
tion: Why an "armor of antagonism?"
Antagonists to what? I wonder If you
are as conceited as you sound?

More About Paint and Powder
Dear Cynthia Please print these few
lines io uepas. 'inank you.
Your letter Interested me very much.
cepas, and I would like to ask you a
few questions. Most fellows say the
same things as you do about "Painted
Dolls" nnd et when among a crowd
of girls the painted ones are tho first
they look for, make a fuss over them
and leave the "plain ones" to en
Joy themselves By plain Janes I mean
the ones without the paint and powder.
If we do powder and paint It lo Just
as much your fault as ours. I know It
for a fact A few months ago I used
neither powder nor paint and al
though my nose was neither red nor
shiny, I was called old fashioned. Now
I use a little powder at.d It certainly
mokes a difference So, Cepas, remem

Should Buy Tickets Yourselves
Dear Cynthia A short time ago two
girl friends and myself wero visiting
In a. town about twenty miles from our
home. When leaving for the station
two young men whom we had previously
met accompanied us to the station,
where wo each bougnt our own tickets
for home. Would It havo been proper
for the young men to nurchaso same i-
tor usv DOUBTFUIi.
It would have been decidedly Im
proper for them to buy your tickets. If
a man is utKint v. gin out with nlm to
the theatre, etc he always pays the
expenses, but It would not be good
form for him to buy tickets for a train
trip especially when he was not going
to accompany the girl on the train.

The Woman's

Wants. List of Syndicates
To the Biitor of Woman's rage!
Dear Madam 1 wrote to you. a few
weeks ago and told you I wrile stories
as a pastime. You said that you would
send me a list of syndicates, but I havo
not received them. I thought perhaps
you had lost my address. I want to
nsk you one more question: May I send
tho same story to more than one syndi
cate? I certainly am thankful to you
for giving mo thls( Information. K. S,
I did not receive your stamped, ad
dressed onvelopo for the list of syndi
cates. I am sorry you had to wait so
long for It It would not be right to
send the same story to two syndicates,
for they might both buy It and then
you would bo soiling the samo thing
twice. Send It to ono syndicate, and If
It Is not bought then send it to another
ono after you get It back. But by all
means send It to only ono syndicate at
a tlmo. ,
Try Carbon Tetrachlorld
To the Editor of Woman's Paoe:
Dear Madam Will you klndlytell me
through your column how to remove oil
and perspiration stains from trousers.
M. G.
Rub tho stains with carbon tetra
chlorld, which can be bought at the
drug store first of all. If tills does not
take them out spread magnesia or
French chalk thickly over the spot and
work It gently around. As soon as it
becomes gummy brush It off and apply
more. Repeat this until most of the
stain Is removed, then apply moro pow
der and allow It to remain over night
nr longer If possible. Then dust or
brush off the powder thoroughly. To
mako euro that no ring remains to
show where the stain has been, place
brown paper on each Bide of the stain
und press for several minutes with a
warm iron. Sponging with water and
ammonia Is tho best thing to rcmovo
tho perspiration.
Tho Lemon Treatment
lo the Editor of Woman's Paoe:
Dear Madam I think the Woman's
Pace Is wonderful and rives good ad
vice. I have come for some, too. Please
help mo. Thank you.
Tho other evening I read about a tan
neck. My neck Isn't tanned, but It la
"darker than my face. My faco Is
whiter. Will tho lemon Julco harm the
skin or pores7 Is It supposed to bum
when you put It on and how often Is It
to be done and when?
Are you to wash the lemon Julco off
after you apply It? After you use lemon
Julco for a whllo and then stop will your
neck get tan again?
AN EVERYDAT READER.
I am so glad to know that tho
Woman's Page helps you. The lemon
Juice will not harm our skin. It
wouldn't bo a very good thing to recom
mend If It did, would it? It does not
burn you when you put It on unless you
have a cut or some kind of eruption on
your skin. Then It will smart a little,
but ordinarily It Just makes the skin
feel nice and clean and dry. Put U on
every night for a while. Just before you
go to bed, and allow It to stay on all
night Thin In tho morning Ijathe your
neck as usual. As soon as you have
bleached your skin to tho desired white
ness you can maKO your uppucauons
less frequent, every other night and
then twice or three times a week. Your
neck may get dark again If you don't
continue W9 treatment, qui you can
decide for yourself whether you need the
bleach or not. Of course. If your skin
is naturally dark it may not be pos
sible to get your throat and neck whtto ;
but as you say your face Is white, you
ought to havo no trouble In bleaching
the neck.
Spot on White Shoes
To the Editor of Woman's Paoe:
Dear Madam On the Gth of July I
dropped some butter on my new white
buck slippers and It left a grease spot
I have whitened them beveral times, but
It does not remove tho spot, so would
you please tell me what would remove
the stain? I also have a castlron fry
ing pan that bums In the middle. Ib
there any way I could fix It, as It is a
new pan? MRS. I. McG.
Spread magnesia thickly on the spot
and work It round until it gets gummy
with the grease. Then dust It oft and
apply more. Repeat this until the stain
has all disappeared, then apply mor
and leave it over night
Grease your frying pan and place It In
the oven. Let it dry out so that tho
grease will soak Into It all over. Then
let It air over night before trying to
cook In It This should make It stop
burning.

HER HANDBAG
. SHE COULDN'T FIND HER KEY
So She Got a Smaller Purse That Wouldn't Hold So Mud
"Trash" Then She Filled
SITO was rummaging through her bag
for her door key. She. parted an old
letter, her railroad ticket, an out-of-date
timetable, n week-old shopping list,
nnd n stamp book, nnd dug down Into
the depths of the bag. Her fingers closed
on something cool nnd hard. In trl'
umph, she brought up a penny. She
dropped everything nnd put tho penny
in her pockctbook. Then she dived
again, found a nickel that she knew1
nothing nbout. nnd discovered a clean
handkerchief, folded away In nn ob
sctiro corner. The key must have been
lost, she decided. How in tho world
would she get in, because everybody else
was away I ,
Sho made one more hopeless search,
bringing to the surface njoncll with
out a point and nnothcr penny, and
then gave up in despair. She dropped
the penny absent-mindedly Into the lit
tle change pocket of tho bag. heard It
clink ngnlnst something, looked hur
rlcdly. sheepishly and found her key.
Yet she had looked there In the first
place ! But then, there was n soiled
visiting card,' with limp, exhausted
edges, n "voucher" for something that
had long since been delivered from the
store, nnd u newspaper clipping, all of
which hnd conspired to hide that dis
agreeable little key! ,, .
Sho pulled It out with a reproach
ful little jerk, inserted it In the lock
and let hcrbelf in. With an indignant
bump she dropped the bag down on tho
nearest table. .
"I must get another bag tlmt's small
er," she told her self decisively. "Then
I won't have room to keep so much
trash that I don't need. Nobody could
find anything in all that mess."
Adventures
THERE is nothing especially new to
adventure readers about, tho nuts.
I havo told you of them before. But
in passing tho other day, I noticed that
one shop apparently has just received
a new supply of them, and I tnougni
that you might like to be reminded of
them, in case you are giving a summer
party nt the shore. The nuts are made
of papier-mache, nnd closely resemble
walnuts. But they have this difference :
Whereas with a walnut ono generally
knows what one will find inside, in
thnii nuts one can never tell, for
