Foul Ti I--; 'W i nil lu LAZY Is: My father tells, me that I am too young to be bothered with any fellows, especially since I go to school. He baa met thla fellow and thinka he ia verv nice, but still In all he never leta me go' out with him. I have gone out- with thla fellow ijulte often, but mv father never knew it and atlll doesn't. I would much rather go with his consent; but, what can I do if he won't let me? DOLORE8. My dear "Dolores" Your line of reasoning is akin to that of the gunman, the bootlegger, or any other person who breaks the law hecauae the law Interferes with his personal and selfish desires.

Your father is absolutely right. The girl of 15 is too young to go out with boys. And the very fact that you have been both disobedient and dishonest provee you untrustworthy. Study the commandment which stresses honor for one's parent; train yourself to realise the value of adult interest and aupervision; play a fair and aquare game, and in due time you will reap your harvest in good times honestly come by and vicariouslv ahared by your father. (hook that one up In your dictionary.) HELEN WORTH.

HELEN WORTH Green Is Sponsored For Daytime Wear; Also Evening Gowns Reviewing dress' collections it is interesting to note the, appearance of green In evening gowns, es pecially a shade that is called jade by some authorities ana appie oy others, observed in lace and also in chiffon and Daytime dresses and Jacket cos tumes in cloth also sponsor green In much deeper shade, however. with bottle and deep moss greens noted. Jacket costumes In cloth in these rich greens are sometimes contrasted with chamois color blouses, the effect being most at tractive.

When aprons and tunics and drapes are approved, the lower section of the skirt is invariably full, wtth fullness achieved In a flaring flounce or in pleats. The cape-sleeve is noted in day time and afternoon dresses, a cape that extends over the shoulders and also over the long aleeve of the frock, sometimes to the extent of giving the impression of a double-sleeve. This season attention is given to frocks with covered shoulders, dinner and evening gowns introducing puffed sleeves, extensions of the shoulderline, capes that just extend over the top of the arms, and others that follow the V-line of the decol-letage at the back. The draped skirt is conspicuous, sometimes combined with an upward movement at the back, noted in tunic like expressions that swathe the figure from the waistline to a point above the knees In soft fashion; the drape sometimes terminating in a ruche. The ruche handled In this way calls attention to other back treatments.

The bow ia one of the most Important. The frock may be worn without tha bow if desired. Sometimes It la a bouffant bow, in bustle expression, and sometimes a collapsed bustle Idea is reflected. Besides faille and velvet slippers for evening there are colorful brocades In Persian colors and designs. Open toe sandals of doexkin are In brilliant or pastel colors to match hostess pajamas and negligees.
