WOMAN'’S PAGE, Making the Most of Your Looks BY DOROTHY STOTE. Dear Ann: Decoration need be the only use to which the bridal bouquet may be put. The little bride should carry her flowers above her waist to give as much length as possible to her figure. And the bouquet will be adorned with long ribbon streamers which will add another needed longline. Yours for discriminating length. LETITIA 926.)

For just a brief ‘e of time doubt had enveloped her. she had questioned the wisdom of taking so important a step o hastily. Bt doubt had been swal- lowed up in the romance of the mo- ment; it was enough that she and Con- rad loved each other. And it was still enough! sShe loved Conrad no less. But would she have married him so impetuously if she had known the truth? It wasn't that she minded being poor with him. She might even have brought herself to live in Ham- flton, at least for a time. But have Conrad’s mother with them was another thing. The adjustment was hound to be difficult.

Conrad had said lightly, “‘Darling, there are certain things to be talked over. I'll feel more comfortable when you know everything. I hope you won't mind being poor. Jean had laughed gaily. “I don’t know, because I never have been, but I'd rather be poor with you than rich without you, that's certain.” His dark eyes, proudly possessive, now had glowed as they rested on her radiant face, but the next moment he was grave again, and thoughtful. “T'll have to get a job at once. an had exclaimed passionately. Oh, Con, you're going to finish college He shook his head. “Certainly not. The sooner I get started, the better. I don't intend to waste any time. I'm going to prove to vou that I can take care of L We're not going to be poor always.” “Oh, but dearest, that makes me feel guilty, as if we should have talked things over first He interrupted quickly. “I'm the one who ought to feel guilty. You said vourself that you had never been poor. Besides, there's more t I haven't told you. I'm afraid that mother will have to live with us. But she’s a dear, Jean, and she’ll love you. You two will be the best pals in the world. He was so happily confident and so boyishly eager that Jean hadn't the heart to let him see that she had any doubt on the subject. “You really think she’ll like me?" she had said, wistfully. And Conrad had gone on assuring her. “And you don't really think we should have waited?” he had ended. pasdonately. “Oh, Jean, I'll pledge my whole life to making vou happy. and somehow 1 do feel that what we did was right, even if we do have to make sacrifices. Tell me that you S0, too. Conrad's appeal went straight to her heart and she had nodded slowly. “Yes, I really do think so. And after all, dear. we didn’t have much to do with it anyway.

We sometimes read in the paper that a plague of seventeen-yéar locusts is predicted for the following season and we wonder how it is that any- body can know when and where these insects, which are not really locusts at all but clcadas, will appear. The early settlers in New England noticed the strange habits of these cicad and from that time to this they have been studled until it is now known just in what parts of each State a crop of the destructive cicadas will appear.
