The Entire Stock at Half Price! woman of taste, the woman who practices economy and the woman who appreciates correct styles and is a devotee of fashion, readily recognizes in this large and select assortment of Suits that we show opportunities to buy that are most extraordinary from every viewpoint.

Today and throughout the week again: ALL SUITS AT HALF PRICE Cynthia Grey's Answers Places of Public Amusement Dear Miss Greys I want your opinion on a certain question. We four sisters have patronized places of amusement for the last two years, and have never been sorry for it. We have met some of the nicest boys and girls at these places who are respectable and known to be so. People throw their hands up in horror at the mention of these places, and I cannot see why. The very persons who scorn these places are the ones who have never entered them, and know nothing whatever about them, except what they have heard.

Many girls enjoy this innocent pleasure and when they have once frequented these places think they have fallen and might as well be what people consider them and consequently become low. Now I wish you would give your candid opinion on this subject and please don't pass it up lightly, as it is a question of the day I also wish readers of tills article would write their opinions. W. X. Y.

Z. Is possible for a girl to attend these places and keep her respectability, but if she is not possessed of a strong, inexorable character, she Is apt to be led astray. The real danger lies not so much in attending a public place, but from being enticed and tolled off from there to disreputable places, for you are thrown in contact, for the most part, with a loose class and those who cannot belong to regular organizations. A procurist may enter a public dance hall unmolested and pose as a perfect gentleman, merely as a mask to lead girls off, and a girl must be well aware of the ways and wiles of a city to know positively when she Is associating with such a person. I am surprised that a girl should make the narrow-minded, statement that "many girls think they might as well be what people consider them." I have often had a chance to study and observe (Iris of different classes and there may be a few of that type, but I mi positive there are not many.

Such an erronlous statement would Immediately fire a girl of the right caliber and make her letermlned to herself lnnolent, rather than become low as the is pictured: My candid opinion is that girls may find other places and ways of entertaining themselves where they are not thrown with such -Questionable class. Dear Miss Grey: Will you kindly tell me if Harriet Qnlmby, the woman aviator, is dead? If so, how and when did she meet her death? A SUBSCRIBER. Qulmby, the first woman aviator to receive a license, was killed July 1, 1912; she fell 1,000 feet at the Stauntturn aviation meet. The Influence of a Good Girl Dear Miss Grey: Having read your, advice to others, I have decided to ask your opinion on a subject that has troubled me for some time. I had been.

keeping com- pany with a young man for over a year. I am 21 and he Is two years my Junior. We were vary good friends until a few weeks back, when he commenced to keep company With diKi-cspcctoblo girls, and then would come to me and boast of them. ri I felt so we. broke our friendship, which made him angry.

"Look at mf," she said. Her lovely eyes met his; under the penetrating sweetness of her gaze his heart quickened and grew restless and his uneasy soul stirred, awakening memories. "There was a child," she said, "years ago; a child at school. You sometimes looked at her; you never spoke. Do you remember?" He rose to his feet, staring uown at ner.

"Do you remember?" she asked again. "Rosamund! Do you mean Rosamund? How should you know that?" he faltered. The struggle for memory focussed all his groping senses; his eyes seemed to look her through and through. "How can you know?" She Is dead. I heard that she was dead.

Are you Rosamund?" "Do you not know?" 1 "Yes; you are not Rosamund. What do you know ol i 'Is she dead?" The girl looked up at him, smiling, following with delicate perception the sequence of his thoughts. He bent nearer. "I love you," he said. "I loved you from the first.

And shall forever. You knew It long ago." She did not move. "You knew I loved you?" "Yes, I knew It. And when at last he had had his say, the burning words still rang in her ears through the silence. A curious faintnees stole upon her, coming stealthily-like a hateful thing.

She strove to put It from her, to listen, to remember and understand the words ha had spoken, but the dull. confusion grew with the sound of pines. "Will you love me?" she said; "I have loved you so many, many years; Rosamund She bowed herl head and covered her face, with both hands. "Rosamund! Rosamund!" he breathed enraptured. She dropped her hands with a little cry; the frightened sweetness of her eyes held-back his outstretched arms.

"By Heaven, I do not!" he said, troubled and amazed. She cast one desperate, unhappy glance at him, then rose to her full height, gazing out over the hazy valleys to where the mountains began, piled up like dim sun-tipped clouds. "Dear, do you not understand?" she said.
