Stifling False Pride Essential as First Step \ to End Lovers ’ Quarrel BY MARTHA LEE OVERS’ quarrels, such laughing matters to older persons, are tragedies to the young man and the woman. After a quarrel there are angry words and then a complete break iu a friendship that means so much to youthful sweethearts. In answer to my correspondents who ask how to “make up” after one of these disagreements, I first advise losing the false pride which might interfere when either the young man
or girl makes an effort at reconciliation. The effort is hard to make at best and the overtures are apt to die out altogether if false pride dictates an indifferent reception of them. When there has been a disagreement, it is wise, for both of the young persons to impersonally judge who was in the wrong. Os course, it is generally the clever move for the young man to take the blame if he really loves a girl because no girl likes to admit she is wrong. In the matter of what to say in making efforts to resume a broken friendship, I advise the age-old method of a book, candy, or flowers as being more potent than a long string of words that may unintentionally start the old dispute again. Just a word of additional advice. When the quarrel has been "patched up” completely leave it out of the conversation, for there is no worse social outcast and one more prone to cause future trouble than an old quarrel. Dear Miss Lee: I have been going with a girl and we quarreled over a date with another boy. I said some bitter things and she also. Miss Lee. I love this girl and it seems as though she is always on mv mind. Please tell me how to make up. We have been apart one month. FRANK. Dear Frank: Tell this girl that the cause of the quarrel was all on your side, that you are sorry and that you will not do it again. Fortify your words with some peace offering and perhaps the young woman will relent and “make up!” Os course, you probably are sure you are in the right, but if you love this girl, you will forget this and humbly apologize. □ear Miss Lee: When a dance has ended and a young man thanks a girl for the dance, what should she answer? L. A. S. Dear L. A. S: The girl says she has enjoyed the dance or some similiar remark. Dear Miss Lee: I am 17 and have known a bov. 18. for about a year and a half. I ■see him every Sunday and that is all. X never had a date with him during the week. Now. Miss Lee. I know I am too voung to be serious, but that it what it is coming to. X have always liked this voung man. but now I am learning to think too much of him at my age. I think I shall stay away from him and go with others, but when I do I can not think of them because X am always thinking of X think he is beginning to think more of me too. because of his actions. About three months ago was his first time to kiss me. Sunday he asked me If I loved him. Now what I want to know Is should I be doing right to tell him how I feel towards him? Do you think he likes me by his asking me that question and never kissing me until now? Thank you. UNDECIDED GIRL. Dear Undecided Girl: Your letter has that touch of common sense I admire in young girls. I see no reason why you ought not to see this young man once a week. You think you like him now and perhaps you do. You are both so young you can afford to let things “just work cut!” Tell him you like him, but whether or not it is love you can not say, because at 17, one is certainly not sure of the state of one's affection. Let him know that you like him better than anyone else at present. WORRIED:-—A plan has been worked out whereby you can solve your difficulties regarding the party who now lives in Italy.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY St St CHARMING EFFECTS OF FINGER WAVES
BY ANN ALYSIS Have you ever noticed what wonderful effects in hair dressing can be obtained by means of the deservedly popular finger wave? I have in mind at this moment a woman, Alice, tall and stately, whose good points were never brought out while she wore her hair in marcelie waves, as hundreds of others were doing. One day she had the good luck to fall into the hands of a hair dresser, who studied types, and who knew how to apply his art. He advised abandoning the style of curling which had become so ordinary, and to substitute for it a graceful finger wave which should follow the beautiful contour of her head. She was willing to try the experiment, with the result that this dignified arrangement raised her from the commonplace to her rightful position as a most distinguished looking person. / The finger wave is made by the hand of the operator, and furnishes endless opportunity to bring out individuality and emphasize personality. There may be many waves for the rather cute girl, or just one or two to break the too straight hair line of the athletic girl. Sometimes the merest suggestion of curve at the temples is all that is needed. If the operator is lacking in a sense of artistic line, study the matter yourself with the aid of your comb and mirror, and upon the occasion of your next visit to your favorite beauty shop, give the operator a practical demonstration of the lines you want followed.

She talked on “Opportunities for Women and Law Observance.” “Enforcement of the present laws is the best solution of the everpresent liquor difficulty,” Mrs. White declared.

STYLES REFLECT GARB OF FRENCH PEASANTS
How peasant France of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries inspires new styles: A black Sunday dress from La Bourgoge (left) with its straw fluted collar, lacy apron front and silver embroidered tight short sleeves and long flaring skirt furnishes tricky ideas for styles. At the right are tiered cuffs in royal yellow, red, b'.ut and green, and the yoke, rovers and pockets inspired Lanvin to create a charmingly similar mode for summer.
BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 24.— Swanky summer styles are likely to show an influence of peasant France of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. And an American girl will be partly i-esponsible. For 200 colorful, decorative paintings of authentic peasant costumes for different regions of France, brought to this country by their creators, Elizabeth Whitney Moffat of Denver, Col., and Mile. Gratiana dc Gardilanne of Paris, are proving inspirational to famous couturiers because of the wealth of lascinating. colorful and tricky features they include. On exhibition now at the Arden Gallery before they become a permanent collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts, these paintings see groups scanning them daily, sketch book and pencil in hand, for new ideas for women's apparel. One house copies the lace pattern of a dainty Alsatian apron, one the odd shape of a La Saintonge bonet, a third a bertha on a Province bodice. Used as Models In Paris my couturiers sent artists to see them. Lanvin is said to have a spring frock with sleeves from one costume; Worth uses the strappings of another; Patou the pockets and gilet of a third. "The collection represents over two years of research and first hand knowledge of what was actually worn in those days and almost as many more in reproducing them,” Miss Moffat testifies. “But they were fascinating years.” she adds. “You see we started out looking up costumes as an avocatiqn and it has become a most fascinating vocation now.” Five years ago two young women met in Yvette Guilbert’s company in Paris. Miss Moffat went there to play in “Guilbour” from musical ccmedy on Broadway, including such things as Shubert's “Oh What Girl,” and “The Hottentot.” Mile, de Gardilamxe joined the company as a stage designer. In producing some peasant folk songs. Yvette Guilbert entrusted to the task of providing authentic costumes for the company. It proved such fascinating work that they left the stage to make a regional study of peasant costumes. Ideas from Museums “Sometimes we worked in out-of-the-way museums, looking at a bit of shawl through field glasses to get

the exact weave and pattern,” Miss Moffat explains their technique. "Then we would hear of a lady who had an old dress in some far corner of the province. So we would hop into our car, take our two bulldogs, 'No-No' and ‘Bunko’ and we would be off to sec it. “Court costumes were preserved, but peasant costumes —usually they were handed down from generation to generation or stored in trunks on damp dirt floors and it was almost impossible to find any one article whole. To reconstruct a single costume 'rom the moth-eaten, mildewed and rotted bits of materials we found often took months.

It is surprising and gratifying to find that these old costumes, in turn, are the inspiration for new and stunning styles.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ an ts THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Marye, My Dear: Your letter troubled me until I read between the lines. Dear, perhaps you don't realize how harsh you sounded toward Betty, but I know that you did'nt mean it that way or you wouldn't have been so anxious for me to see her. I understand you too veil to believe you wanted me to pry. At first I was afraid Betty might think that was what I came for, but I went anyhow. Fixed up a regular old-fashioned basket of goodies that had the bon voyage baskets that you wire to friends beat all hollow. I don’t sea how any one can enjoy getting a gift that way. You might as well send the money, for that’s all it amounts to in the end. You never see the things, just order by price. Bettty surely enjoyed my basket. Poor child, she looks pretty peaked. There's another baby coming, and Clyde is sick with arthritis, Betty called it. but I guess she means plain rheumatism. I'm sure you didn't, knew this, Marye darling, so it Alan complains about the money you spend, you mustn't blame him because you know you wouldn’t want him to turn his back on his own kin. Your father helped his family for years after we were married, and I don't sec that it set us back any. Os course, if Clyde and Betty were spendthrifts, or wouldn't work, it would be different, but Betty was trying to get along without help, looking after Clyde and Junior, and hardly able to be on her feet. If I were you I'd surprise her wil h a nice layette. She hasn't got anything ready yet. I'm going over as often as I can and help her out. Florence is working for Shotwell & Martin, and so there isn't much that she can do for her sister. Florence is a little provoked with her for wanting a family when she's married to a poor man. but I think Betty’s right. She may be having a harder time right now, but after all Clyde's a nice boy. and when her children grow up she will have something to be thankful for that a lot of women will wish they had when they’re older. That's a mistake I'm afraid yqu re going to make. Marye. You ought to have a family before you get to thinking that children would be a nuisance. I'd like a grandchild. With much love. MOTHER. Union Daughters Catherine Merrill Tent No. 9, Daughters of Union Veterans, will hold a patriotic meeting open to the public Monday evening in honor of Washington's birthday, at Ft. Friendly, 512 N.
