For 11 Plackets are ample in length. years I have been going with a young man, eight years younger than I, and that many years of courtship cannot be tossed aside. But I am discouraged with him. He doesn't have a trade of any kind and when he does make a few dollars he drinks it up instead of putting it to some good use. In a way he is to be pitied as his mother died when he was a small child, but his drinking habit is growing worse as time goes on.

cottons are usually best made up in simple, tailored styles with a few if any frills. Decoration is kept to a minimum. Soft voiles and organdies may have more fussy details, such as gathers and shirring.

Don’t you think I would be foolish in view of my previous experience to hang on to a man of this type? Three months ago Uncle Sam called him into the army and I have been going around with his father. He is a widower, a clean man who doesn’t have any bad habits and he is industrious.
