In the first place, Most of the young ladies who dress | | to attract men are not so particular. | | They have no objection to letting Whatever young man who happens | to take them out kiss them, and I have yet to see the young fellow who | @id not enjoy that sort of amusement for a time. Secondly, and 1 believe this ts the Biggest reason: The old conventions @re fast disappearing. People no Jonger Walt for a formal intreduc- tion, but thrust their acquaintance | @pon one at the first opportunity. Now this system of getting ac Quainted has several results, some good, most of them bad. Take two girls, one loudly dressed, | the other plainly dressed, in an of-| fice; then enter a strange man. If the is not properly introduced—and Powadays one seldom does get an introduction—with which of the two ‘will he become acquainted? Yes, the Painted one, of course. Because he ud judge from her dress that she easily approachable, and even iho he might rather become ac- Guainted with the more modest sis- ter, he ts afraid to approach her.

J don't like the condition, for, given my choice, I would take a more modest girl, but how am I to meet her? I am a man of 33, so probably my views are a little old-fashioned, but I would like to hear from some of the younger men along this line.

I felt awfully proud of my hus band that morning, Bob is tall and thin, and always perfectly groomed, and as he stood, hat in hand, surrounded by the prettiest gifia in our set, I knew that all but the married ones were pont- tively envious of me Perbaps it was not a nice feeling, but it was perfectly human—it was the kind of satinfied feeling which lots of young married women have when- ever they are with a crowd of their spinster friends. 1 hadn't wanted the girls to be siege Bob, but of course I couldn't forbid it.

Of all the summer's fashion fan- cles none is prettier or more practi- cal than the apron effects, Just a bit of net or lace or batlete or, more likely, a combination of all three, and a plain, dul) taffeta frock or a prosaic gingham becomes perfect duck of a gown, coollooking enough for the warmest day or comfortable- looking for @ cool day. Aprons like the model of the «ketch might be made of handkerchief linen or of white georgette with Cluny inser- tons and motifs of applique lace for the corners, Another of colored em- broidery op batiste would be useful, with the scalloped edge turned up| from the waist for a bib, and a broad hematitched hem turned up for the | bottom with a eatin ribbon for strings.
