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. She
Your Summer "Meat"
will be a treat
if you will make it
SHREDDED WHEAT
I
All the meat of the golden wheat steam
cooked, shredded and baked in the finest,
cleanest, most hygienic food factory in the
world. Supplies more real, muscle-build
ing nutriment than meat or eggs, costs
much less and is more easily digested. A
food to play on, to work on, to grow on, to
live on. Ready-cooked and ready-to-serve.
Your grocer sells it.
Always heat the Biscuit in oven to restore crispness;
then pour over it milk or cream, adding salt or sugar to
suit the taste. Deliciously nourishing for any meal in
combination with berries or other fruits of any kind.
Try toasted Triscuit, the Shredded Wheat Wafer, for
luncheon with butter, cheese or marmalade*.

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.

Answers Queries
DON'T LET BOYS KISS YOU
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A short time ago I met a young
man, and after going out with him a
few times he wanted to kiss me. I
refused to allow him to do it, for
which he got angry. I have not heard
from him since. I love him dearly
and have to lose him. Did I do wrong?
Should 1* write to him? lam sure he
cares for me. HKI,EN.
You did Just the right thing, Helen.
If this boy cares for you In the right
way he will surely like you all the
better for being too dignified to per
mit yourself to be kissed. If he Is
one of those scamps who insist on
making love to every girl he meets,
you are well rid of him. You did the
right thing; now don't lower your
standard by writing. L*t him choose
whether or no he will know a fine girl
like you.
YOU ARE DOING WRONG
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am In love with a man thirty
three years old. He is eleven years
my senior. We are desperately in
love, and all there is in this world
for us is each other. He is the father
of a two-year-old boy. Am I doing
wrong in encouraging his attentions,
inasmuch as his domestic life is an
unhappy one, he not loving his wife
and they having nothing in common
between them? May we continue lov
ing each other in the hope that he
may be free to marry me some day?
ANXIOUS.
It is not safe for you to pursue this
love affair with a man who is not
divorced. Even if you are both quite
honest and honorable in your love
you may unconsciously put yourself
In a position where a jealous woman
can name you In a divorce suit. And
through you the parents of this little
boy may fall to become reconciled.
DON'T LET OUTSIDERS Vf Au r
TROUBLE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am in love with a very nice
young fellow. He has a girl's photo
graph In his watch and he told me it
was his sister. People tell me he
hasn't any sister. ANXIOUS.
Tell the man you love Just what
you have heard and ask him to tell
you truly whether or not he was Jok
ing with you when he said he had
a sister. Don't allow either Jealously
or the gossip of outsiders to interfeo-e
In your friendship.
