PAGE aicrrr M QO-O-Q-OO Dorothy Dix ’s Letter Box Modern Girl is Without Honor or Pride, Cries Disgusted Youngster-Adolescent Youth Needs Divine Patience From Parents ' Dee: Min pix-Is there no virtue in. the modern girl? I am 14 years old andin the first year of high school. I have been brought up in a. good home by fine parents, who have instilled high principles ln me and I love to do what is right. Now this ls my problem: Cannot a girl keep up with the times and still retain her innocence and purity"? Practically all the girls at. the school to which I go are without thing else that makes for a good character. ~ They think it is old-fashioned to be righteous. ~ Must thin be? TRYING TO BE GOOD. Answer: This is a terrible indictment that you bring against your schoolmates. 1 can only hope that " you exaggerate the lack of high ideals among them, ‘ for these schoolgirls of today will be the women into whose hands we t ' shall commit the fate of our country tomorrow, and woe to the land i whose men are without honor and whose women are without virtue. Its I decadence has begun. _ . - .» . i: ‘ Of course, every student of social conditions‘ knows that there is a , * ', " . deplorable laxness of morals in the schools and this is the more tragic ' i V ' because these children who are experimenting with sex are literally too , . _ v ., young to know what they are doing. They are babies playing with fire, _ f ' _ , -,' '- . H , . ‘ ' unaware that; the confiagration they start may burn up everything that i ' " ‘ is worth while in their lives and leave them scarred wrecks, filled with the clndeis of burned out emotions before they are e\'er men and women. But not all girls have taken to the downward path in their school days. There are many who are still innocent as you are, and who love virtue and loathe vice for its own sake. Find your friends among them. Then you will not be so bewildered and depressed by those other girls who are taking what is euphemoilsly‘ called the easiest way, and who arc paying for a. few attentions from boys with the most priceless thing a Roman ever possesses. , Believe me, my child, they are making a sorry bargain and one that they will regret in bitterness and tears later on. They are truly selling their birthright for a. mess of pottage. Because, for the sake of a few few drinks of bootleg liquor, they are risking death and disease in a. most horrible form and flirting with shame and disgrace. And it isn't worth the price. The game isn't worth the candle. Why, even the women of the street don't sell out that cheaply. Yet these silly little girls think themselves sophisticated. You could laugh at them if you could keep from crying ovcr illull‘ folly. Why, a girl is actually dumb, just to put it on the lowest ground, who forfeits her self- respect and her good name and makes herself a target for gossiping tongues just for the sake of being seen out with something in trousers who has to take her about in the family automobile or borrow carfare from his mother. “I‘l|§P~r¢—-~ _.. _ ,,,-_.__'_.._ i, _.___,_,.__, ,g Some day you are golrz; to wan! to marry and you are going to want to marry a real man, a nion of high ideals, a. man with fixed principles, o. man who reverences purity mid goofincss ill woman. That sort of man isn't going to want a wife who is damaged goods. He isn't going to want a. wife whose skirts are stained with the filth of the gutter. He isn't going to want a. wife who is a woman at whom people will snicker recalling her ' past, and at whom other women will look over the bridge of their noses. What would you do then, if y/ouhad led an irregular" life for the sake of being popular with boys and have a lot of men take you out and give you what thcy call "good tunes"? If you should tell that type of man of your past, the chances are that he would not marry you. If you kept your secret locked 1n your own heart and married him, you would spend the balance of yoru life living in shuddering fcnr of his finding out about the thing that you would rather die than have him know. It would be the sword of Damocles hanging over your head by a lngle hair that would kill all of your happiness and peace. And if the an. forgave you when you tolclhim your sordid story and married you till, it would still poison your life, because he would never trust you in very time of domestic strife he would throw it up to you. dates with boys, a. few trips to the movies, a few visits to roadhouses, a ‘ THE COOK ’S CORNER Fresh Mint Jelly - 1 cup (8 ozs.) vinegar 611-’; cups (2% lbs.) sugar coloring 1% cups (l2 02s.) water chopped.) large kettle, mix, add enough color until dissolved. at once add pectin, stirring con stantly.

It pays her in her own self-respect and he respect of her husband, and it pays her in health and length of days. nd dont believe that here is anything modern in vice. It is the oldest f all human things. SlZlCC the world began there have been “bad omen," and few of them have ever been happy women.

CURVES ARE IN STYLE AS MODE BECOMES STILL “ORE FEMININE PARlS, Aug. '7—Curves have come back to the ' fashion scene and figures are feminine again. Ostriohfeather boas, birds of jparadlse and trains are once more fin the fashion parade. The flat: {boyish form is passe. The silhouette remains slim, but curves are again allowed. Here are the measurements of one of the most glamorous manne- suins in Paris: Height, 5 feet 6 in- ches; weight 127 pounds, waist 28 inches, hips 36 1-2 inches; bust 36 kinches. Her eyes are blue, her hair lgolien brown and her skin has a rich peach glow. Though truly feminine the mode retains the profile which conforms to the demands of the modern wo- man. Most of the frivollties are saved for night time wear. Daytime ‘skirts are short enough to permit 'comfortable walking and waist- ilines do not pinch. Curled coiffures, birds of para- dse on hats, organdy blouses, ruf- fled evening frocks. feather boas and thin soled sandals give the feminine effect. Even the mascu- line mode affected for sports wear is softened by frivolous touches. LIGHTER >LANIP SHADES and put too? After all, the darker, heavier, more formal ones you use in the winter have no place among a pro- fusion of gayly oolored slip oovers and new drapery. You can get per- fectly charming lamp shades that are inexpensive. Choose light ool- ors, simple designs and those which have a mlmmery air about them. Don't get the mistaken idea that you can't put away lamps and lampshades and get along for the summer, with‘ the glaring overhead lights. Too bright a light adds to your discomfort when the nights are hottest. You need indirect lighting effects and attractive lamps and shades during the sum- mer months just as much, if not more than you need them in the winter. MASTICATE FOOD PROPER- LY It is most important to teach children to chew their food thor- oughly. Twenty bites to each mouthful is a good working rule and if it develops into a. habit in chfdhood it is probable that many of the indigestion troubles of later life will be avoibd LUCKY STONES Fashion favors real jewels at the moment. Diamonds, meaning inno- cence, and rubies, the birthstones of people born in April and July are the most fashionable. Large stones which can be worn in rings are more popular than any other form of jewelry. Superstition has it that if your birthday is in July a ruby ls sup- posed to help you in the choice of your friends. Legends give to this stone more powers than w any other, so no wonder it is so popular, particularly as an engagement ring. It is said to keep away sorrow and evil thoughts, and to change oolor when you are in danger. Emeralds, now third in popularl- ty, "are the, birth-stones of people born in May, and they are thought to defeat the unlucklness of that month by bringing success in loveIn olden days men believed that their oolor was so restful to the eye that if they gazed at the stones when tired out they would become com- pletely refreshed. Next come sapphires, which are supposed to free from any sadness those who are born in September. Being the same color as the hea- vens, they were once considered a charm against evil powers. Opals are no longer considered unlucky even by the most supersti- tious of women. Their meaning is hope, and they should be worn by women born in October. The popular semi-precious stone just now is jade. It has many su- perstitious meanings, particularly in China, where it. is believed to prolong life.

When you change ygur pictures have set a fashion which has had on summer slip covers, a distinct effect why not. change your lampshades The Duchess of York's love of sap- on the demand. phires and Princess Mary's fond- ness for emeralds have influenced many women in their choice of these stones.

Pyreth- rum, tobacco dust, or even road dust, sprinkled into the plants will help drive the pests away. The hellebore may be used dry, perhaps mixed with a little flour, or at the rate of an ounce to three gallons of water. One experienced gardener says that he has found a sure way of protecting his cabbages from worms. Ho takes the leaf of a to- mato plant and crushes it in his hand, after which he lays it on the cabbage head.

WRINKLES LATEST WRINKLE IN SUITS CHICAGO, August 7.—Wrir_kles are the latest wrinkle in men's suits.

So spake the experts who design clothes for the men of all nations, gathered today for the convention of the International Clothing De- signers‘ Association. George E.
