Elfin Hats With Pointed Crowns in Great Favor THE newest hats the social scribe has seen make their wearers look for all the world like elves and brownies at their gayest. They are round little nut-shaped chapeaux running Into the perkiest of points right atop the “' crown of the head. • Miss Virginia Cotton, it Is rumored, will wear one in chartreuse yellow felt on her wedding day, Wednesday of next week, when Bhe weds Stewart Summers at her grandmother's home. It synchronizes perfectly with her auburn hair, and her brown eyes are at their best under its spell. The peaked crown Is further accentuated with a cluster of yellow silk roses, which far from simulating nature, are fashioned to give the most artificial paper flower effect. Miss Dorothy Wilcox, who id always In the van of fashion, is wearing iwo of these pointed felt hats. One a black metal, has a handpainted edge of plrid around the tiny brim, with a tiny bow at the tip, and the other of , kashmir color, has a flyaway rosette of satin on the peak. ^ ’Mrs. Rasmussen Issues 150 Invitations for Tea.

Dear Miss Allen: I have been keep ing steady company with my fiance for three years. Whenever the sub ject of marriage comes up between us, he says he will not marry me until he can give me the luxury I am ac customed to. He has his own business, and al though at present It Isn't producing very well, we both have hopes. I love him very much and he Is very much In love with me. So 1 don't see why I shouldn't sacrifice a little luxury, and even comfort, for love. I have seen so many cases of long engagements—from five to 10 years —when all romance seemed to die. And I wish to prevent anything Itke that. Can you advise me? A. D. Three years Is a long engagement— too long, many wise persons might consider. You are taking a sensible stand, A. D., In your eagerness to "begin at the bottom of the ladder" with your husband and gradually climb togeth er. Doubtless you will finally have all the luxuries and comforts to which you are now accustomed, if not more. With many men, as with your fiance. It is a matter of pride not to marry until they can give their wives “all accustomed luxuries.” ' But this Is a mistaken pride and It gives false values. Love Is the main thing—far more Important than an expensive neigh borhood, a limousine and extravagant social frivolities. You are right, A. D. It won’t hurt you In the least to sacrifice a few luxuries. It may be very good for you and will train you In practical wifely efficiency. Your letter doesn't state your age, but from its general tenor I conclude that you have reached years of good sense and are quite capable of know ing your own mind and taking charge ■' —.i ■ ■ i ^ A WIFE’S CONFESSIONAL Adele Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Copyright, 1924. by Newspaper Feature Service. Inc. i The Way Mrs. Durkee Delighted Then Depressed Madge. I tried to camouflage the sudden stiffening of my body at little Mrs. Durkee’s unsuspecting revelation, but I was not quite quick enough to de ceive her keen eyes. A ‘‘Oh!’’ she cried contritely. "Have I spilled the beans? I though you knew that Dicky had helped Edith Fairfax get this new job." "I did, in a vague sort of way,” I prevaricated clumsily. "But I really had forgotten about it. I’m sure I'm glad he was able to be of aid to her." Curiosity was flaming within me to know the nature of the work Dicky had assisted Edith to obtain, hut I was too proud to ask a single question concerning it. The quick In tuition and kindly feeling of my lit tle hostess promptly Intervened how ever with the Information I craved. Keeping her eyes carefully averted from mine, she spoke with cleverly assumed glibness. . “Oh! It’s a splendid thing for Edith,’’ she said. "If she Intends going on with a career instead of making Dr. Jim Paige happy by marrying him. One of the women’s magazines that uses a lot of Dicky’s work In its stories, also has a lot of fashion illustrations, and Dicky has landed Edith qu.te an Important Job on the staff. He's b6en gushing her work quite a while, getting her little bits of magazine work to do here and there, and Alf of course has thrown her all the things he could. But you see Alf’s hampered by the fact that she's his sister ln-law. He says he has to be mighty careful or they’d accuse him of—drat it. what is that big word he used? I’d know it If I heard it, but It's slipped- my mind as If It were an eel." "You’re An Optimist.** "Neptomlsm?” I suggested, laugh ing In spits of myself at the little woman’s pretty puzzled face. Hhe made a saucy moue at me. “You ought to put ’D’ for 'Dic tionary' on your stationery and on the door of your ear as a monogram 'B',’’ she mocked. "But that’s it. But of course, she was nothing to j Dicky so he could push her work all along without anything being said.” Was she rattling along In her usual careless fashion, I wondered or had she deliberately employed the reasti surlng phrase, "nothing to Dicky?” She Is so delightful a bundle of con tradictions that one can never be sure of the real thoughts behind her flow of words. With an effort that left me a bit breathless, I achieved a casualness which I hoped would hide the dismay that was mine at her revelation. "I'm so glad he could help her," I said with a heartiness which I was proud. "I think It would be a great mistake for Edith to marry Dr. Paige ns long ns she hungers for a New York career. His work will always l<e In the south—” “Yes, and down there. In that srfiall city, with the prestige of hav ing been a part of the professional artistic world up here, she could be a queen with a salon," little Mrs. Pur kee returned with a ludicrous little air of worldly knowledge. "But if she won’t have him, she won’t.” "Remember, she never has had a real chance at a job like this before," l reminded her. "Perhaps,” hope fully, “after success gets to be an old story with her she will turn her thoughts to Dr. Jim." - "You’re an optimist. Madge," Mrs. Durkee retorted qulrkly, but any further remarks were cut short by the appearance of Katie with s tray I bearing n pot of coffee, the acces sories for drinking It, a covered plate which I knew held toast, and tucked Into the serviette, an exquisite little cluster of small pink chrysanthe nruis whb-h Katie evidently had com mandered from Mrs. Durkee'* autumn garden. A Soothing Pup. "I sorry to butt een," Katie said, with the comical combination of def erence and slangy Impudence which la hers. ‘‘But you tell me valch dees coffee, und I tell you eef eet valt many i*conds longer, old vomans no like. Heem shoost right now, I drink heem mlneself.” "Very well, Katie,” I said, choking down a laugh and taking the tray from her. “I will carry It directly to Mother Graham’s room. Thank you so much for looking after It.” "Oh! dot nodings!” Katie replied grandly and sailed off again to the kitchen. Mrs. Durkee with an amused grimace at me. following In her wake, while I hurried upstairs to my mother-in-law's room with the dainty tray. I foOnd her raised on one elbow, a bright spot on either cheek, speaking in firm rapid tones to the nurse who evidently had Just come Into the room. ”1 don’t know why you should bother to come down here.” she was saying with distinct acerbity In her tones. ”1 should think you’d have enough to do with young Mra. Dur kee and the baby.” "My patients are both asleep.” the mire replied lmperturably, “so 1 came to find out your condition th^t I may make a report to the physi cian." Mother Graham sent her a wither ing look, and turned to me. "If that Is Mrs. Durkee's coffee you have on that tray.” she said “bring It over here quickly. ‘I’d like to see any nurse or doctor, either for whom I’d keep a good cup of coffee waiting.” Thorne’s Little MONEY SAVERS Men’s Uisas Handkerchiefs.. .SSc Weven's Llestie Handkerchiefs, 39c Fancy Chrlstaias Carters ....1.00 Head Banda and Tiaras .1.13 F.

Although I am young I have fell deeply in love with a 16 year old boy. It seems as though I care more for him than he does for me. We also correspond together. How may I win his love? He is a darling boy, hansome and popular. He seems to get peeved at me quite easily. Tell me. do you think lovers always have their little spats. BRIGGS, If It is necessary to pay for this in formation, I will do so. No, my dear, advice is usually free, or at least very cheap. I think a girl 15 years old who can’t spell any bet ter than you do,, should devote herself to her studies and be less agitated about a 16-year-old boy. Not Much In Love. Dear Miss Allen: I am a young man and am deeply in love with a young girl who, I think, cares for me. I have tried several times to gain her attention, but it seems as though It can’t last. I have cared for two others and lost them. Now, Miss Allen, being well educated and finan cially fixed to “settle down," what can I do to win this girl’s or some other respectable girl's attention?
