\X2oMen r^UnTeß^u£ WHERE IS SWEET SIXTEEN? By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Where are the pretty "little girls" wn used to see? Where are the girls who bloomed as ra diantly as the spring flowers of each awakening season on streetsand porches of town and country? Where are fhc bright- eyed, gingham-clad girls with low -heeled boots, big leghorn hats and softly braided hair swing ing as they walked eagerly oft to the last days of school. There used to be three ages of girl hood—childhood, "big-girl"-hood and young ladyhood. But now the girls seem to omit the lovable middle stage and to skip with startling effect from being dear little girls to being over-" dressed and self-conscious young ladies. Now the girl of sixteen wears pumps, whose high heels tilt her into a star tling Imitation of the debutante slouch, and her tight skirts show bright-hued, shiny, near-silk stockings. Her smart little tailor-made and her dashing silk frocks are made on the same lines as the "creations" her'mother and big sister wear. Her hair is ribbonless and braidless. It is strained up from her ears and tortured into the twist" that the popular cabaret danc ers affect. And a chic little hat, with dash and go, is set atop of her know ing little head. To-day the girl of sixteen could never be pleased by a gift of simple gold beads, such as would have over- Joyed the girl of ten years ago.

Same old stand, South Second, corner Chestnut. Harrisburg Harness Supply Company MONDAY EVENING, wears the latest thing in art nouveau Jewelry. She is perfumed and scented and even painted and powdered in a fashion that makes her look like a woman of that half-world of which she —presumably—knows nothing. Oh, girls—dear big, little girls—you were so very sweet at "Sweet Six teen!" Very Different And now you look like cheap, under developed, blank-faced little dwarf women. To carry off smart and knowing clothes that were flrst designed to please mondaines and deml-mondaines of I'aris a woman must have a worldly and self-possessed air. Years and ex perience bring them Inevitably. And the women who have them regret the lines of care and the marks of knowl edge on their faces, and dress as youthfully as they dare without ap pearing absurd. What is more, they l'.naw that the Innocence and unworid liness you scorn appeal strongly and potently to men. So the clever worldly woman imitates to the best of her ability and memory the forgotten charming innocence and unworldliness of her youth. And you who have it scorn it! Can't you reason this out and apply it to your own life, Sweet Sixteen? The greatest charm you have is the one you are destroying. Don't you enjoy a fragrant June rose far more than a graudy, scentless chrysanthemum? Don't you feel that a glorious sunset of red and prold and violet is far more wonderful than the greatest picture ever painted? The fragrance of your youth is love lier than any perfume that ever came out of France. And your own. sweet color that comes and goes Is prettier than the orange pink that you buy at 1H cents a box. So with the lines of your head and figure—they are at their best when simply and modestly clad and ar ranged. Little girl dresses and hats and shoes and softly braided or curled hair are prettier than any of the effects you will produce later when you have to dress as a woman and not a girl. You will be a woman so long—so sadly, sadly long. VVor't you stay a girl a while longer? Won't you "stand with reluctant feet" for a while where brook and river meet? Sweet Sixteen, you are the most adorable thing in all our prosaic, arti ficial, weary, blase world. Every one loves you—why ape the age that envies you the thing you carelessly fling aside? Something new always creates a furore. The sweet simplicity of girl hood has been so long neglected that it is forgotten and now. Why not re vive "The Cult of Sweet Sixteen"? If you have forgotten how to be a girl—a real girl—study it out again and see how charmingly worth the effort it is. Try It Put off your world-weary expres sion, your make-up. your sophisticated looking clothes and slip into some real "Kirl pretties." L<et your hair down and set a his, simple letfhorn hat atop it. And even if you have come to feel a bit like the world-weary woman you manage to look, your youth will revive to match the pretty girlishness of your dress. Try it. ffirls. lam sure this will he a more beautiful summer if "Sweet Sixteen" comes back to us again.
