Write vnder your own name or an assumed one AND OS QSE SIDE OF THE PAPER ONLY Adriee by Helen Worth Dear Helen Worth I am a woman 38 years old and have been married 12 years. My daughter is 11.

I was brought up in modest circumstances, but we always had enough. I married, as they say, for love. My husband has never earned enough to support our little vice as you give, to go forward with hope renewed. To be brief, I was left a widow very young with a small family. I tried so hard to be both father and mother to thpm, and the road was so rough at times, but the harder I had to battle the greater happiness it brought me.

Then when it looked as if I was to be rewarded for the hard years of struggling, God saw fit to take my boy, who was everything to me and I to him, that left me all alone. Oh, Helen Worth, it Is so hard to acquire and say "Thy will be done, A grief such as this sears our very souls. For years I had no time to culti Today's Fashion Dainty and Cool Here's a little dress of pale blue dimity with white dots. The cape collar and the bordored hem are plain pale blue dimity. It's very easy to make and cunning for Summer parties, carried out in yellow organdy.

I may seem too overanxious to you, or may seem to make a mountain out of a molehill, but this letter answered now may save others a similar experience, as this is the period for vacations. I will be awaiting your answer In the paper for the next few days. Perhaps I may have to write another one. JUST AN ANXIOUS BOY-FRIEND. My dear Anxious Boy Your letter Is being answered as promptly as It could be.

Only persons utterly oblivious to right and wrong could countenance such a trip. The man may mean well, but the chances are about ten million (or billion) to one that he does not! Any girl of ordinary intelligence, old enough to secure her working papers, should know enough to refuse such an offer. And any married man, young or middle-aged, who suggests ich a trip, should be horsewhipped! HELEN WORTH. 5 1003 1 1 Mrs. Edwin Sefton was Miss Marjorie Strong, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. George Strong of Edgewood Farm, Smith-town Branch, L. before her recent marriage. Mr. and Mrs.

Sefton will reside in Manhattan. By LOIS LEEDS METALLIC UNTS IN COSMETICS There are two general classes of beauty aides. By iar the greater proportion of cosmetics aim to enhance natural beauty The woman who uses them wants her drug-store complexion and her tinted hair to look genuine. She wants her coiffure to resemble naturally curly hair after it has oeen waved artificially. Then there is a smaller group of cosmetics that give decorative rather than natural effects.

They are usually rather faddish and never gain the wirie popularity of the former type. Among them are metallic colors fingertips and hair. Ruby-tinted finger and toe nails with gold or tips are not at all according to nature, but they are ornamental and enjoy a certain vogue. Bronze-tinted hauls ultra-chic Just now and is not difficult to acmeve. What is more, it is easy to remove the metallic coating when milady wishes her hair restored to Ks normal color.

-There are difffient shades of bronze powder may be used as they are or else blended to ob tain original effects. They may be purchased at stores where artists' supplies are sold and some beauty shops have them, too. Bafore the coiffure is treated with the metallic powder it should be finger-waved and thoroughly dried. The hair is not combed out because a smooth sculpturp. effect Is desired.

Of course the bronze powder will not adhere as well to a loosely waved, fluffy type of hairdrcss. After the coiffure is given its final shape it Is sprayed all over with brilllantine which will hold the powder on the hair. The powder itself is then dusted on with a piece of absorbent cotton. Pat it on as smoothly and evenly as possible. Now, if you want a very striking effect, go over the ridges of the waves with a little bronze powder of a lighted shade than that used for the rest of the hair.

The final step Is to spray the coiffure with ban.na oil to keep the powder on and to give luster. Use an oil atomizer for the purpose and go over all parts carefully. Now the coiffure is finished and ready to be the cynosure of all eyes at a formal party or costume ball. The bronze powder Is removed by shampooing. Just use a liquid dry shampoo which may be bought at any shop where a complete line of cosmetics Is for saie.

Finish with your usual soap and water shampoo. If the hair at all inclined to dryness, have a warm-oil treatment before washing your hair. The lacquered coiffures we have pi 5 Reducing I'pper Arms and Lcirs Dear Miss Leeds -Please tell me a quick way of reducing upper arms and I am 20 years old and 5 feet 3 Inches tall and weigh 145 pounds. Can it be that I am going to be a fat old woman at 30 years of age? I ask you to help me solve this problem. Am I too short to be attractive? RESTLESS AND REGUSTED.

You are probably built on a sturdy, athletic type, and you should not become disgusted nor allow yourself to become flabby or out of condition on acount of your build. Take an active interest In outdoor sports and remember that you have five more years to go before you are fully matured; ufter that time your body will readjust itself and you will have a aupple, youthful body with flexible muscles if you train from now on. Swimming would be an ideal hobby for you, because it keeps tha muscles supple and flexible. Your height is average, no too short. The flabby msucles of the arms and legs would take on graceful and firm contours if you practice regularly.

Spend 10 to 15 minutes each night and morning in doing special exercises like the following: (1) Stationary running for a few minutes. (2) For the hips: ie on your back on the floor, raise lees up vertically. Keeping trunk flat on the floor, swing legs lrom side to side ten or 20 times. (3) For upper aims: Hold arms out level with shoulders, fists clenched. Slowly twist the hands forward as far as they will go, keeping arms out at sides.

Twist In opposite direction. In this exercise the fists describe a small circle as they twist. (41 Do arm-llinging exercises and the windmill swing every night and morning. Write for leaflets on the indoor woman, beauty exercises and reducing lower limbs. Be sure to inclose a self-addrtsseO.

stamped envelope. No, indeed, you are not too short to be attractive if you bring out your own good points. iiitz-Jajultoiv ATLANTIC CITY America Smartest Soanide Hotel Oabtna ihi bwh Prial Iar fr balding tract from raomi Kumpran Plan American Plan lc Koom from 14 Sintl Boom fram tft Double nam from 17 Double nam from 14 Weekly rata ii timet ilaily rata Far Rrrvatina Telephone Pl.ara JcrHi I'.

Hubbard Jr. acted as best man for his brother. Both the Parfitt and Hubbard jrera among tba jpionee family and I have always had to scrape and save, sometimes to the bitter extreme. Twelve long years of worrying about where the next dollar will some from has "fed me up." I have held the friendship of a man, some years my senior, for several months who Is independently wealthy. He is a gentleman in every respect and has sympathized greatly with my circumstances.

He has intimated that he is lonely and would be proud to have a wife like me. What am I to do? I have lost the love I originally had for my husband. His lack of ambition, weakness and his stand-pat idea of letting well enough alone, have almost driven me to despair. I am now thoroughly aware he can never attain any heights in the business world. He will simply remain where he Is without ever attempting to strike out.

My future can only be a repetition of what I have gone through la the past, with th possibilities of even greater hardships if he loses his Job, a daily possibility these times. I have practically decided to take steps to secure a divorce. As the wife of a man of wealth, I can educate my daughter properly and live a life unfilled with the horrors of poverty. Don't you think I owe this to mvself and my child? A READER OF YOUR COLUMN. My Dear Reader Obviously you are motivated by material reasons.

"A life unfilled with the horrors of poverty" sounds desirable. But creature comforts are not the only consideration in this world. Congenial companionship rates high, tenderness and kindly consideration ditto. We are all prone to forget that the ability to make money, to save It, or to manage it. Is not a universal characteristic.

"What will you have?" says God. "Take it and pay." If the education of your child and the mental ease which comes from a substantial bank account are your two chief desires, perhaps a divorce would be wise and worth the psychic disturbance it is bound to create. But to think the matter over most carefully, and proceed slowlv. is the advice of HELEN WORTH. Widow, Childless Seeks Acquaintances Dear Helen Worth: Am turning to you as so many have, when cares and problems lay heavy on their shoulders, and am sure after reading the answers you give to some of the letters written you, you must surely bring hope and encouragement to so many who falter on the way, and need just such kindly ad i 1 ifflfffi Yet she 7 1 I if 3 I iiV 4 a I vate friends and nov find myself without any.

Sometimes the lonell ness is almost unbearable and it's so hard to pick up the threads of life again. I am a Protestant, 48 years old and would like to correspond with some one of the opposite sex similarly situated. He must be a gentleman. SINCERITY My dear "Sincerity" Your grief and loneliness are pitiable, your de sire to make friends thoroughly understood. Thank you for the kind things you say.

I do hope that not only encouragement but some new acquaintances may come to you via this department. Letters forwarded. HELEN WORTH. Such an Invitation Should Be Refused! Dear Helen Worth I have read your column many times since the paper has been coming to our home. I have received great help from it sometimes, but this is the first time that I am writing a letter to you for advice.

ijo you think it is proper for a young girl who works in an office (only two girls in the office) to ac cept an offer from her employer, a married man, to accompany him. to nearby Summer resort for a weekend trip, even though it Is (or may be) legitimate? The man is almost middle-aged, and seems to mean well. His wife and children are in the country also, but not at the same place where he stops weekends. He always goes by automobile, so as to save railroad fare, which runs into quite a sum. (This he told his employe, so as to save her money.) The young lady's family has said It Is all right, even though they know as much about him as I do.
