They i summer wash frc ind are never more comfortable Indoors than when wearing a froek originally intended for sunnier climes and warmer seasons. The one-piece sport frock is the olce of many women for general indoor wear, and there are still a faw who cling with amazing tenacity to the blouse and skirt combination for hours Indoors. Wwomen have leurmed the folly wearing the skirt and blouse be- louging to a suit as an indoor frock. Som: women never make any spe- stal plans for what they shall t home indoors.

Mary Plckford—Young love, aence; childhood trembling on that .mmortal brirk “where the brook and “iver meet." Lillian Gfsh—For suffering; for the | toignancy of suffering; tears that fall like April showers, plerced through with a foreknowledge of sadder things to come; wistfulness. Dougias Fairbanks — For virillty, *or chivalry, for the days when “men were men.’ Colleen Moore—For the tomboy: for 1@ gcreen’s one and only consistently | boyish tomboy. She was tomboy rish in “Come on Ov She w adian tomboy i 5 a typleal society tomboy in Flam- ng Youth.” And in her next picture, ‘The Swamp Angel” she will play set another kind of tomboy—that of s hoydenish girl in the poorer sec. tho strong | inno- | der of all the agger | of the nelghborticod and the best bae | bail player of the district. i Nita Naldi—Tho vamp; why men leave hoin Pola Negri—Passio that, stark, elemental.

C Dorothy Dix’s Letter Box Mother Whese Youthful Son Resents Her Author- ity—Twenty-Two-Year-Old Neglected Wife. How Long Should a Girl Go With a Boy Before She Kisses Him? AR MISS DIX: I have a boy sixteen years old. For nine years I had him out boarding because my profession took me on the road. He has Deer. with me now stnes July, but durtng all of that time he has been very sullen, almost refuses to talk to me. I have an idea that he wishes to get away from me. I will appreefate very much any advice you can give me about haw to handle the situatton. MRS. G. M. Answer: Boys of sixteen are always kittla cattle with which to deal. even when they have grown up with a mothers arms around them. At sixtoen a boy fs morbid, self-conceited, certain that he knows more than any other human being In the world, desperately reseutful of any show of | authority over him, and it takema mother who has watched over him every minute of hts life and studied his every mood, and who knows him like book, to get along with him without friction and subtly steer him in th: way he should go. . i It ts your misfortune that you have not beem able to do this, and you must realize that, to all intents and purposes, you and your boy ar strangers to each other. You have not watched his development. bave not formed his tastes or instilled vour ideals Into him, and s you Rave not the key to his heart. Also the very f of your relationshi malkes a barricr between you. You are disappointed and resentful becaus: he ts not affecttonate to you, becanse he does not confide in you, because he does mot pull the mother-and-son stuff of melodramas. And he looks upon you with suspicion becanse he thinks that you are Koing to try boss him. Hence the sullenness and the silence. The only thing for you to do is to try to forget that you are mother and son and that he onght to love you simply because vou are his wothe Put that behind you and start out to vamp him as you would some stranger youth thut you wished to fascinate. Flatter him. Cajole him. Treat him Don’t try to make him obey you or cerreet him, but insinuate the things you wish done. Any middle-a worldly wise woman should be able to make a boy of stxteen fall in “ith her, even If he ix her own son. DOROTHY DIX. AR MISS DIX: I am just twents wife.
