Orphan Girl Compelled by Mrs. Grundy to Careful Guarding of Good Name BY MARTHA LEE A GIRL who is left without mother or father or any other close relative has to observe conventions to the nth degree or she will be criticised. It is one of the faults of our social life that Mrs. Grundys are constantly on the alert to find fault with girls who have to make their home with strangers. They seem to delight, these Mrs, Grundys in suspecting orphan girls of constant indiscretions.
No girl wants her reputation ruined. A girl’s reputation is one of her most precious possessions. The orphan girl must be constantly on her guard to keep her possession unsoiled by any malicious gossipping. I understand how an orphan girl resents having her every action watched and many times misunderstood. She must tolerate this espionage, however, and do everything to keep spiteful tongues from slandering her. DEAR MISS LEE: I should appreciate a few words of advice. I have been an orphan for a long time and have spent the last five years in a private school, graduating Just this year. After leaving school. I took a room which was obtained for me through the efforts of my fiance. Lately I have noticed a decided change in the attitude of my landlady. Last night while my fiance was with me, she came into the room and as one would sav. “jumped on us.” She said that I was losing my femininity and respect simply because my friend would have his arm around me sometimes when some of het family would come into the r °My fiance and I love one another w holeheartedly and have the greatest respect for one another. Miss Lee, should I continue here or should I take another room. I value my reputation, but I think I should find it Impossible to keep on living the way I have. Sincerely, MRS. ?. Dear Mrs. ?: Though I realize how hurt you must be by your landlady’s unkind interpretation of your action, still if I were in your position I should go to her and try and get her viewpoint of the entire situation. As an orphan you can not afford to have the least gossip attached to your name. Tell her that you and your fiance always are eager to do the proper thing. Do everything to show her that her criticism was unjust. Whether or not you ought to leave your present home for another is, of course, up to you. Perhaps, after you have made your explanations to your landlady you and she will have more amiable relations with one another. If possible stay where you are. It is better for a young girl to stay with one family than to be constantly changing residence. Unhappy Wife: The only thing for you to do is to explain to your husband that his swearing is killing your love for him. Tell him that you will be forced to leave him if he continues this practice. Os course, I am sure that you realize how hard it Is to break any kind of habit. If your husband earnestly tries to stop his habit, I hope that you will have patience with him because it will take rather a long time for him to accomplish this purpose. Sweet Sixteen: Tell your mother why you object to this young man of whom she approves so highly. I am sure she will not force you to go with a man who does not respect a girl. Really, as for the other boy you say you love, I think you merely are infatuated with him because he is so different from your mother's choice. You are far too young to know your own mind or to conceive what love is now. Wait a few years, Sixteen, and then you will be capable of making a wise selection in a husband.

WINTER VOGUE OF SILK SUIT
part of the three-piece suit at the right; above, an ensemble of , f/ gM > /."/ .4 lemon and orange-amber Rajah / /^JtM BY HENRI BENDEL ♦* ' For NLA Service / ■ NEW YORK. Jan. 10.—The silk * ' M***
suit is experiencing 'an unusual vogue for wintry months, right now. Os course many of them are designed for Palm Beach wear and have light colors that suggest southern skies. But there is a place for the silk suit right at home in the Northland now. too. Worn under a fur coat, it is tailored and neat. With its coat removed, it becomes informal attire suited to most afternoon affairs. A Spring Vogue Forecast The silks that are used most for suits are the pebbly silks, such as Rashanara, Canton and the corded or pebbled Rajahs. This type of silk is staging a come-back in the closing of this year that promises to insure a spring vogue. Some of them are reappearing, satin-backed, which I should say, just about doubles their chances at popularity. Os the silk suits, the most noticeable things are the way the predominating color, or the most elaborate decoration, takes the eye to the waist portion of the suit. If there is a vivid spot, it is apt to be a scarlet coat, a striped blouse or the like. While the skirt remains demurely in the background. Box Pleats’ Fullness This is illustrated in the one suit I show today of pink and red figured Canton, red georgette and red canton. Its skirt is of the pink material with a slight figured lined traced in red. Little box pleats stitched below the hips insure fullness. The sleeveless blouse of pink georgette has stripes of red georgette stitched across it. Its tie" collar is of the red. And the hiplength, three-button jacket is of red Canton, pink-lined. All the color seems concentrated in the upper portion of this costume and a red and pink felt hat appropriately tops it. * Appealing Colors A delightful combination of color gives the other costume an unusual appeal. The one-piece frock of Rajah silk is of a soft new ellow, almost lemon shaded.' With it a rich crange-amber color is used — to pipe the tucks of the dress, edge its jabot tie and fashion the seveneighths coat. The coat is extremely smart both in line and new length. It is made of a corded, crisp silk of the Rajah family, with two inverted tucks on each shoulder for fullness and long, loose-cuffed sleeves. The back has four tiny inverted tucks coming from the flat neckline. Worn with this is anew mushroom Bangkok in soft lemon shade, with hand tracing in the deep orange shade, making a checked pattern. Figured Silks Subdued Figured silks are coming in again. This time they are more subdued, however. The splashy flowers of last season grow dainty and petife in the new prints. Many, many prints employ confetti polka dots, or geometric lines in color instead of flowers. A three-piece suit I have made for Palm Beach uses black with rose and reds worked in tiny flowers. The little blouse is of the figured material, as is the skirt, while the jacket is plain in color, trimmed with a yoke front and back of the figured silk. A plain hat in the new chouquette straw tops it.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY n u BEAUTY FROM THE LOWLY LEMON
In much the same way that the women of the Orient used benzoin as a beautifler and delicate bleach for the skin of hands and face, so do the occidental devotees at the shrine of beauty pin their faith to the juice of the lemon. This acid liquid, though far removed in physical characteristics from the oriental beautifler, still has a certain similarity of action, in that it is astringent and also bleaching. Lemon juice should never be used in an undiluted state, but should be combined with glycerine and some perfumed water when functioning as a lotion. Even when the purpose for which it is intended is the removal of a stain from the hands, it is well to dilute the juice somewhat since the acid (citric) is severe in its action. In my opinion, lemon juice lotions should never be used on the face, but, in the correct proportion, they are fine for keeping the hands white and for removing stains from them. Here is a formula for making a lemon juice lotion, which applied twice daily will put your hands in fine condition: Lemon juice (one lemon), one ounce. Glycerine, one ounce. Alcohol, one ounce. Rose, lavender or orange flower water, three ounces.

Woman’s Day
BY ALENE SUMNER There's nothing like mention of roast turkey and a hazelnut torte to stir up commotion, talk as we will about the “grossness” of food and] our interest in “the finer things of life.” Dozens of letters have descended upon me following my recent outbreak about meals and eat- j ing once upon a time and now. One of the most interesting follows: ~ a a a “Not long ago I was put upon a plain milk diet with the strictest! orders to touch nothing else. Do: you know it alarmed me to see how this diet pulled out the props from! under my entire life? It appalled me to realize what a major part of my life had been dedicated to the preparation and eating of food. a a a “My social life was I positively wrecked. I had attended at least one bridge luncheon a week; we had dined out one or two nights; I was in the habit of meeting my husband or some member of the family downtown for lunch once or twice a week; often served afternoon tea, and here was I tied to my milk bottle. It meant a cessation of all social life during the time I was on that diet. Lectures, dances, even theater engagements were tied up with food in some way—either dinner or tea or luncheon before or after or during. a a a “But it was even worse at home. My family like good food, and for years I had given it to them. I watched for new recipes. I have never set just a meat and potato table. I have them constant surprises—creamed mushrooms and crab meat in ramekirts; escalloped tomatoes and eggplant; bacon and cauliflower; salads, pies, cakes. Now that I was on a diet I had no inclination to cook or plan or market, and my days were full of emptiness. I suddenly realized that I was lost without food as my major] job. Qutie a jolt for a woman who prides herself for her ‘modernity and alert interest in things other than those domestic.” a a a That our social life, and even oyr business life, revolves very largely about food, none of us can deny. Business lunches are as much; evidence as bridge teas. But why! not? If warmth and good fellowship are born of eating together, on with the food, say I.
