It was the end of the merry evening party where the Lovelies had displayed their most beautiful dry goods, put on their
best lines, physical and conversational, and the Young Feller was
thinking it over, expressing his opaniots.

~T~m sick ang tired of glamor

me, most of them, I~m tired of their
smare cracks and their blood red
finger nails that make me think
of.:murder. I get. mad. when. they
put-on. a slinking: walk; the plump
ohes can~t get away with it anda
the anny ones look, like snakes.

Get A Diveras:
Is Sue's Advice

By SUE LEAF

Dear Sue Leaf:

I have read your column each week and now I am asking |

for some advice. I am eighteen

seventeen. My husband is nineteen. We stayed together about a
vear. We have a baby just over a year old.

I- loved my husband. when we married but he has been so
mean to me that I do not care for him now. i

After we seperated, I met Jim.
He was so nice to me that I fell
in love with him. He says that
he loves me, but not as much as
I love him. He has been in love
with another girl who did not
treat him right and I believe he
still loves her.

My husband has been away ~but
he says that he still loves me, and
wants a chance to prove it, I am
getting my divorce now. What do

~you think I ought to do.

WORRIED

When love is deac, there is
nothing else to do but swing clear
of the man. Get your divorce, but
I would suggest that you do not
rush headlong" into marriage with
Jim or anyone else, Think first
of your child who is going to
need the care of a father, who
will love and understnad it. You
will have plenty of time~ to find
someone to love and love you.

Be wise, ~don~t ever let q man
know how much you love him.
Some will like it, others will
abuse it

Dear Miss Leaf:

I have been reading your Column in our local paper and I am
interested in it.

I have a very difficult problem
and I hone you can help me because I almost go crazy with
worry at times,

_J have a boy friend who is sixteen years old, two years younger
than I am. We have been friends
for four years. People have been
talking aboutthe difference in
our ages and saying that he is too
young for me, But we love each
other and can~t quit. He is very
jealous of me, does not want me
to talk with other boys and gets

angry about the least little thing.

Do you think we sxe go to
gether?

_-| Begin soon in life not to have
your life governed by what people say. People don~t know everything about everything. They
gossip and that is all. Don~t let
~what they say~ impair your happiness,

~ On the other hand, you are
too young to have a fellow. forbidding you to talk with and enjoy the company of other fellows.
This should not be permitted.
Even if you are his ~steady~ girl,
he has no right to tell you what
to do about your friends, Have a
lot of friends, girls and boys, and
enjoy yourself. Time enough to
think of settling down to one
fellow. In the meantime, you may
meet some older boy you may like
better,

2 opring Symphon _:
== |s Created By Affi

By HAZEL L. GRIGGS \
A spring symphony in color
once again has been achieved by
the Color Affiliates, that clever
group of fashion creators who
band together each year in. the
~ interests of color harmony and
perfect teamwork between accessory fashions.

The affiliates have really triumphed this season with a sextet
of breathtaking colors, And the
shades launched by this group,
soon to be found in gloves, bags
and hats in all parts of the country are: Yippee! Yellow, Scandal
Red, Blue Streak and three pastels, pink mist, blue haze and
foam green.

The names given these colors
are an indication of their _ brilliance and zip, and the fact that
bright, new accessories ~make~ a
new costume or accomplish renovation. wonders with last year~s
model, has long been established.
The Color Affiliates. are justly
proud oftheir progress toward.
the end of mismated accessories.
and perfectly matched. ha's
gloves and bags are the result of
their campaign.

Scandal Red is a flag red with
enough ~oomph~ to do things for~
a costume of gray or Navy,
Streak, a streamlined version of
royal, ~and blue haze, the grayed
blue of a Westpoint cadet~s uniform. Pink Mist and Foam Green
are all that the names imply~
a soft, rose pink anda pale, sea
green. % Cao

Other fashions, hinting that
spring is near, are the beguiling
flower hats, which their designers tell us, are not merely whimsies of the moment, but here to
stay all.spring and summer. And
no wonder,. the snug turbans.
saucy sailors and ~pert flower
top-knots are so very fascinating.
As pretty as a fragrant corsage,
these face-flattering hats brighten the costume and the wearer~s
outlook as. well.

AN ENTIRE GARDEN i

The flower hats may be found
composed of one~s favorite blossoms, for an entire garden is
cepaented i in the showings, with
Parma violets. nasturtiums, roses,
gardenias and geraniums taking
bas honors.
