CARELESS
By HAZEL DEYO
(Coturlttht. 1M0,
LUCK IS WITH DIANA
Diana and Julian Long, after living
together for three years, finally decide
that love, as the poets wrote it, had
never been theirs, They have missed
the thrill in life, because when they
were married they had fcitoum each
other from childhood So they decide
to get a divorce quietly and unosten
tatiously and directly after it Is all
over Diana drops out of the old cir
cle of friends.
A ND bo It was that Plana passed
f definitely out of Julian's life. As he
thought It nvor. he admitted to himself
thnt ho hadn't expected quite this. After
nil. Diana had been his wife for three
years, and he had expected to provide"
for her. to seo her occasionally lie had
not dreamed that sho would tako mat
ters Into her own hands nnd disappear In
this fashion. It troubled him It took
something out of his life, something In
tangible, because It concerned his feeling
for Diana, and he couldn't have told
why he should have any fccllr.g toward
her at all when they were divorced.
After all Diana had matters taken out
of her own hands as far as her work
was concerned. She had been settled In
her new little apartment for several
days during which time she had been
trying to map out a career for her&elf.
when one day on Fifth avenue Ehn al
most collided with a gray-haired woman
who was hurrying along with bent head
They both Jerked their heads up sud
denly and tho next minute, wero shaking
hands nnd litterlnir soft little ejacula
tions as women have a wny of doing
when they have not met in somo time
"Rita Graves'." Diana exclaimed de
lightedly. "Sh!" the other woman said quickly,
"I'm Madame Naldl now. I have quite
a swagger dressmaking establishment up
In the fifties. I remember that you used
to hae a lot of talent with clothes.
Diana, you don't happen to want a job
do you"'
Diana gasped. "Are you serious?
"Of course I am. but heavens, I didn't
think that you would he," taking In
Diana's smart btrect clothes with a
practiced eye. "Aren't you married?
"I was," she begun flushing. "Oh, It's
a long story. Rltn, but we didn't make
a go of It There wasn't anything defi
nite, but there was no thrill, so we de
cided to break it off." , , , ,
Rita Graves nodded her head quickly.
Sho understood In a. moment and Diana
breathed a sigh of relief that this was
a woman who wan willing to accept tho
situation as It stood.
"Of course I couldn't allow Julian to
go on paying my bills, nnd besides I
didn't want to run tho chance of bump
ing Into him, so 1 gavo up my muni
ment, moved downtown, and have only
just begun to wonder what I could do
to earn a living. Bv the way, wo can t
talk here My npurtment Is Just a few
blocks down Let's go there and have
tea Have you time?"
Rita Graven nodded, and fifteen min
utes later they were In Diana's pretty
little living room talking over the situ
ation seriously.
"My chief designer has left me and
I can try you out In her job. I can
pay you $35 a week, and of course you
get your clothes at next to nothing if
you buy from the establishment. How
about if" And Rita Graves looked at
Diana with shrewd but kindly eyes. She
had always liked this tall, unUBual look
ing girl. They had met the summer
before Diana had married Julian. Diana
had had typhoid fever and she had gone
to a mountain camp to get back her
strength. She and Rita had taken a
fancy to each other, perhaps because
they were so different Rita was some
years older than Diana and there was a
strain of worldllness about her that had

A NEW FRENCH MODEL
OF DISTINCTIVE LINE
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florenco Rose
"TESir,N Is important.
-' Line is important. '
It Is importnnt to have clothes thnt
are made of becoming colors nnd it is
importnnt to have clothes thnt show
enreful workmanship. A frock or suit
to have the right look ( must also he
free from chenri trimmings. Vnr dot to-
have it severely untrimmed thnn chennlv
trimmed. Better n hlniiko wltlinnt nm.
Ince at all than one with the cheap imi
tation variety.
.these things are all important, but
now more than ever before we realize
the importance of high-grade material
fabrics of renl quality. We realize this
especially now because the high prices
have made It necessary for clothes
makers so often recently to make use of
cheap, shoddv-looking materials of a
port that would not have been thought
of some years ago.
And quite often the thing thnt mnkes
the difference between the suit at 70
and the suit at JJIHO is simply the quul
ity of the material. And you do not
hnve to feel of it to note the difference.
Iligh-clnss velvet, for instance, hangs
differently from the cheap variety, A
good quality nuvy blue serge has n

have. The color actually seems to de

or two to bo sure. If ho is satisfied
and you and your parents are, It Is
tho business of no ono else.
How to Make Friends
Dear Cynthln How can I mako and
keep the friendship of somo decent, Jolly
fellows?
I lovo to dance, nnd know how, too.
I can play n little on tho piano and
give quite a few gatherings. I am not

Keeplnrj Company Eighteen Months
Dear Cynthia I am a daily render
of your column and certainly can say I
enjoy It very much nnd also some of tho
question that arlso n same.
Now I am coming to you for help and
I know that I shall get It. I am a girl
eighteen yearn old-and am keeping steady
company with a fellow three years my
senior. Said person naked mo to keep
company with him, but said nothing In
reference to matrimony. I consented to
keep company with him nnd havo done
no for approximately eighteen months.
We both go with a crowd of young
couples, nnd In this crowd Is a girl who
Is supposed to bo my friend and who
happens to work in the same office as
my man friend.
I have received Information from good
authority thnt -during working houro
she does nil In her power to "vamp" him
and h enjoys It. But I can say that
whllo wo aro with our crowd nnd I nm
around he pays no attention to this other
girl, but if I nm not around they Just
hnVA n (rlnrlmta HmA ATrtM, f-vnfHlfl
what shall I do in this case, where a
young man wants my company nnd yet
is not fair? Shall I let him know that
I havo noticed same or shall I pay no
attention nnd treat him Just the same as
always If It Is possible? This girl I
know Is just crnzy about him, but I think
that all ho wonts her for Is a good time,
not becauso ho likes her.
WORRIRD.
Does It not go to show how mistaken
this "keeping steady company" Is? What
do you get by It? You are not engaged
to be married and have no right to de
mand this man's whole time and atten
tion. On tho other hand, why should a
man not flirt and have fun with any
woman ho meets If he is not engaged to
nnlliwr? Ynu would do well to stop the
company keeping nt once. Tell him
xrnnKiy u icnus 10 hoihihk mm ' "
vou down ; that you prefer many good
friends- to one unless that ono is to be
the onlv one. If he does not nK you
definitely to marry him after your ex
planation, you are Indeed well rid of
him.
Values Kiss at 72 Cents
Dear Cynthia Tonight, while clearing
dead matter from my flics. I ran across
some mighty Interests data that might
be of use to somo of your readers.
Komn vears aero, wnne still younK mm
ha?foollsh, I Tot to thinking of
what a kiss was really worth Since
money Is really a standard for compara
tive valuea I, at that time, attempted
to reduce a kiss to this basis.
Thi mutlinil won nlmnle. sevoral fellows
obligingly kept a rigid account of their
expenses wnne paying aneniions iu
girls. For my purpose' a period of three
months was taken as the timo limit.
From data Hiub gathered I obtained
somo rather Interesting figures. The
average value of a kiss Is seven and one
half cents. This is an avcrago ilsur',
I nnd In fine case that an expenditure
of $34 was without results, and In sharp
contrast the remarkable sum of elghty-
flvo cents netted some auo KiFses.
It wob mv original intention to chart
the data to cover classification of the
girls, that Is, their ages, typos, na
tionalities and religions. I found that to
get fairly accurato results would call
for an extensive nnd lenethy scries of
experiments that were entirely out of
proportion to the value of the data. Then
again I found that at a certain point
in the experiment a icuow was mien
averse to giving the facts In the case,
with these figures n fellow Is able to
Judge roughly whether his attendance on
11 crlrl is 11 paying proposition ; that Is,
whether or not he Is paylnK too great
aprlco for these bo desired commodities
Making srtlowance for the increase In
cost of other luxuries we might put a
figure of ten cents as the present market
value of a kiss. DE JURE.
Human Curios
A Mnn at Six
With the exception of an extraordl-1
nary appetite, which could be satisfied
only by largo quantities of rye bread,
chestnuts, bacon and the other simple
fare of the French peasants, Jean
Baumpard, a natlvo of Bouranquet, In ,
France, appeared to be a perfectly nor
mal child until he reached the age of
four and a half yeas. About this time,
however, he commenced to grow with
extreme rapidity, and, at the age of-flve,
ho measured 4 feet 5 Inches. Some
months later he had grown to 4 feet 11
Inches, and at six years he was 5 feet
tall and bulky In proportion. Ills growth
was bo speedy that every month his
clothes had to be made longer and
wider, out he did not complain of any 1
sickness or pain.
At five, Baumpard'B voice changed nnd '
his beard began to appear. At six he
had as full a beard as a man of thirty
though his manner wns that of a boy of
about fifteen Ills voice was btrong and I
manly and his great strength rendered '
him already capable of handling the
labors of the farm. At five he could 1
carry to a great distance three measures
of rye, weighing eighty-four pounds and 1
shortly after he was six he won a wager 1
by carrying a 150-pound sack of grain 1
ten miles. I
The abnormality of the boy gained
for him considerable fame throughout
the section of France In which he lived, 1
nnd several mountebanks, thinking that
ho was a giant In embryo, mado flat
tering offers to his parents for tho prlv. i
liege of exhibiting the child ut side
shows. But all theK hopes of fortune
vanished. Uaumpard's legs suddenly he.
camo crooked, his body shrunk, his
strength diminished, his voice grew
weakor and he finally sank Into Im
becility, dying before he reached the '
ago of ten.

Inqulsltlvcncss Is one of the 700 deadly
sins of 111 breeding. Unless wo are hired
dotcctlves wo must not seek to know
more of tho affairs of others than thoy
chooso to divulge to us. Tho wpman
who nsks personal questions solely for
tho sake of ferreting out tho Innermost
feelings of another Is guilty of a pecu
liarly vicious rudeness which should bo
rebuked without mercy.
Well-bred meii nnd women never ask
porsonnl questions. Also, their training
enables them to parry this form of dis
courtesy with a sarcastic humor dis
comfiting to tho Tnul Try tribe. Thus,
as In the drawing, Madamo Pry usually
elects to attack tho young nnd the sensi
tive who havo acquired none of tho de
fensive weapons of sophistication.
Making More Money
.Mrs. McGcc's Solution
"There's no doubt thnt you havo the
knack of trimming hats, but you cer
tainly don't expect pcoplo to motor way
out hero to buy them, do you?"
That's what the residents "of Sumner,
Wash., said to Mrs. Jano McGce
when sho found It necessary to add
something to her Income In order that
her boy might continue his college
course. She knew by experience that
she could mako millinery, but there
weren't enough peoplo In and around
Sumner to mako It worth while. And
she could not afford to move to Tacoma
or Scattlo. So sho choso what appeared
to be an Impossible path. She launched
a miniature campaign In the larger cit
ies with a view to bringing customers
out to her.
Her first move was to ret ono or two
friends In Tacoma know that sho was
doing a llttlo extra work nt homo and
would bo glad to supply their hats at a
moro reasonable flguro than they could
buy them "In town" simply because
her overhead was not great and she
was doing It alt herself. These friends
mado purchases and told other people
about tho venture. Bit bv bit Mrs. Mc
Geo built up a brisk trade in city hats
at country prices, specializing In models

needs of her patrons. In Bplto of the
fact that- her homo shop Is half an
hour's ride from Tacoma and a little
qcr twice that long from Seattle Mrs.
SIcGee now has a list of regular cus
tomers from both these cities sufficient
to insure her a good Income for many
years to come, in addition to putting
Ted McGco through college.
"It was a rather ambitious Idea," she
admits, "but I think I hae proved thai
peoplo will como where they get the
best value and the best service, even If

rubber nprous for little people are good
things to know about, don't you? Their
price is fifty cents each.
And, lastly, there are the rubber
aprons for grown tips. I cannot speak
for you, of course, but us for me, I
cannot wash dishes or have my hands
in water five minutes without finding
tho entire front of my dress sonkiug

she looked for a good one to tnko out.
"My goodness, child 1" exclaimed her
mother. "Don't open it in the house!
You'll kill somebody."
Eleanor laughed, "Superstitious I"
she scoffed, watching the light shine
cheerily through n hole in the top of nn

though, if wc don't get sonic decent um
brellas."
"I'm not superstitious." replied her
mother, valinntly, "Rut I don't hclicvo
in going too far."
No, indeed, she's not superstitious,
no more so than any one of us, at least,
WE ALL claim this proud defiance to
superstition.
"No, I'm not superstitious," wc de
fend ourselves, laughing nonchalant
ly, "Rut I really do think It's dangerous
to wnlk under n ladder. You never can
tell what might happen, nnd I never
do trust the rungs of thoso tall ones;
they look so Insecure. Hut that's just

THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE
Her Hair Is Thin
To the Edlttr nf Woman's Vane:
Pear Madam Being a constant reader
of your page, I would like to ask a few
questions. I am a girl of eighteen years
of age. My hair Is fairly long, but very
thin. Would having my hair cut short
In the bobbed fashion help It to grow In
thicker? Bobbed hair would be very
becoming to me. I nm sure. Is bobbed
hair still considered tho style for girls
of my nge? ! Mc
Cutting tho hair Is very beneficial, and
If you have It done by a hairdresser no
doubt It would mako your hair .grow
better. If you aro sure the bobbed effect
would bo becoming, try It or a whllo at
least and see whether It makes your hair
thicker. But It would be best to consult
a hairdresser first nnd find out whether
treatment would do moro for you thnn
the bobbing; for If It isn't going to do
vou nnv good there Is no use In having
thin bobbed hair, for that is never very
becoming.
Clothes for Labor Day
To the Vditor of Woman's Pane:
Dear Madam As you havo been a
great help to others In choosing clothes
for their vacations. I would like to know
what would be proper to wear at tho
seashore for'over Labor Dav, That will
be, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
A DAILY READER.
Bv Labor Day, no matter what the
weather, women will be wenrlng dark
dresses. A dark silk or serge would- be
correct to wear on the train, If you do
not want to wear a suit. Then you
would need a light organdie voile or
georgette crepe for Saturday and Mon
day evenings. A white waist and sltlrt
with a sweater and sport hat would be
appropriate for the morning, and you
could wear that on Sunday, too, unless
you go to church or something of that'
kind. Then you could wear the silk
.dross. So. to sum It all up, you could
get along on n silk arcss, a ngni aiier
noon dress and a waist and a skirt and
sweater.
Of course. If you prefer to wear a
different dress each evening, or If you
want to wear a gingham dress some
morning, by all means take them along,
but the three "costumes" with the dress
or suit that you wear for traveling will
bo plenty If you want to economize on
space Then you would need your sport
hat, and the hat that you .travel in, if
It Is one that could be worn in tho eve
ning, too. White shoes for morning,
dark ones for traveling and In case you
wear tho. silk dress and 'something for
dressy possibilities Your sweater and a
long coat or capo In case of cool weather.
Underclothes nnd accessories, of course,
you can decide upon for yourself, but
you surely wouldn't need more than two
sets of underclothes.
