MOVIE FAVORITE TELLS WOMEN TO BEjiIIOAL Practice of Copying Screen! Stars' Gowns May Result Ludicrously, SPRING GOWNS SIMPLE New Dresses Are Expected to Be About Eight Inches From Floor. By CONSTANCE TALMADGE I ('oiHiri'.'ht. bn t’nit-d Xetes) EOS ANGELES', Feb. 26.—One eon- j stantly hears from designers and gown shops that the girls and women of today are modeling their dreses after those of the film stars whom they' admire. T believe this a mistake and more or less dangerous to the woman who thinks that because another looks well in a gown that she. too. may wear it. The girls of the screen have all made a very thorough study of the things that are beaming to them and they have arrived at a certain style or general tendency In the modes which they find best suited to them. They are constantly on the alert to achieve a personality that will rise superior to their clothes, and yet will be enhanced by them. Suit Your Figure If it happens that some young woman has a figure of the type of Gloria Swanson. Elsie Ferguson. Mary Pickford, Colleen Moore, Alice Brady, or any of the stars who wear their clothes well, such a young woman is justified in trying to copy the general style of such gowns. Otherwise I should say that she had better study her own figure and face, and dress accordingly. The little frocks that are to do duty for supper dance, for spring and summer are chastely demure —votive offerings on the altar of simplic- - lty. The evening gowns of 1923 in general will be of straight lines, still long, and without much draping. Sapphire blue with touches of topaz give the motif for new evening gowns. With an evening gown I usually wear a single stran - ’ of pearls. Printed Goods Popular I look for printed goods, big patterns and figures with little drapings in the summer materials. Personally, I prefer the figured goods in high colors such as voile, chiffons and crepes, for they are always fashionable. Fabrics also are certain to be popular. Furs are gradually going out. They depart with winter. New dresses will appear without fur as a trimming and capes made of the same materials as the dress are sure to be popular. I believe that dresses will not be long, say no more than eight inches from the floor and small waists and big skirts will be in vogue. Clothes Make Season Instead of the four seasons establishing the fashions, it is the clothes nowadays that make the seasons. This year’s spring is doing the very' prettiest for us in the way of clothes. The sport garments are ravishing. The iittle touches that go so far toward establishing a vogue seem to be particularly fetching. Take, for instance, the homespun and tweed skirts —always fashionable. Lowheeled sport shoes with woolen or gun-metal stockings. The whole secret, however, lies In choosing your colors and materials and styles wisely. By this I mean—dress according to your peroaslity. PROPOSE TO EUY STOCK Directors of Propylaeuni Make Oifer to Dissenting Members. -\ proposal by the directors of the Propylaeuni to buy all stock at SSO a -hare from those who do not approve of the building of anew club house has met with a refusal by the group of dissenters. A majority of board <>f directors are in favor of the erecting of anew building while many stockholders favor the distrigution of the association's funds which would entitle them to ?60 or S7O for each share. The offer to purchase at SSO a share was limited to those who had formally asked that their stock be bought, it was said.

By MARIAN HALE XL'A Staff Correspondent T2> rouge or not to rouge! That’s the question. ‘‘Rouge? Why, certainly,” thus says Jane Sheal. “Certainly NOT,” says Alyce McCormick. Suppose w r e let the fair disputants speak for themselves. For fair they ■ are—both of them. And they speak with authority. Their Cities’ Prettiest Miss Sheal was picked by Cleveland and Miss McCormick by Omaha to represent their respective cities at the Millinery Association of America’s show at New York’s Hotel Astor. Each was the prettiest young woman available. The speaker for the affirmative takes the floor first. “The clever, artistic woman,” Miss Shoal insists, “usually can improve a little on nature. All the famous beauties have done so. For the Affirmative “Women need color. City life and modern conditions don’t give it. Science must. “No woman shoul try to make up her face without knowing her type and how to accentuate it. If she possesses this knowledge a touch of rouge, the right shade of pow'der and skill with the lipstick will do wonders for her, even if she isn’t naturally a beauty. They do a great deal for real beauty, too. Don’t let anybody tell you they don't.” On the Other Hand That’s that! Now' for the negative. “To use rouge properly and to become an artist with the lipstick,” says Miss McCormick, “takes so much time that, if you have it to spend, you’ll do better to devote it to outdoor sports, exercise and sleep—and get your color naturally. “To be beautiful you must first be happy—love life, work hard, sleep well and use your brain. “Real beauty lasts. The kind you put on with a brush doesn’t. Decide for Yourself “For every woman who can make up properly there are a hundred who can’t. If I attempted it, I’d join the great majority. So I prefer to wear my face as it is.” There, the dehate’s closed. Decide for yourself who won it. Miss Seal is a student at the Cleveland School of Art. Miss McCormick Is relief score--tary to her father, head of the Omaha hattallion of the Voiunteers of America.

‘Anti-Petters’ Win Over Champion of ‘Sheiks’

WUXTRY! “Robinson Crusoe” surrenders! The “anti-petters” come out with flying colors. Robinson does not admit he is convinced on all points, but the victory is practically complete. Good for those who convinced him. And good for you, Robinson, for being a “good sport” and admitting defeat. Almost Surrenders Dear Mish Lee: 1. I sne that the “antipetting 1 ' side is saining headway on the “sheil-s” and “slicbas.” Miss Lee. deep down in my heart I agree with yon on th<- “petting" question. I never did think that a nice girl who desired tn make a good wife and a good mother would allow herself to he “petted." Os course, tiie girl is out. for a good time and probably forgets. I said I agreed with you. but not altogether. I do not sei' that a kiss once in a while would be so bad. T believe a good soul kiss would be good for both and just one kiss would not be called “petting." I believe that if a boy did not kiss a girl onee in a while she would stop having dates with him. 1 know you won t tell, but I’ll bet you have been kissed and hugged, whether you are engaged or not. Cave Man, it seems as though we- are get ting a few knocks. Well, f iiope they keep it up Just a little more pursuas.on and I

-Martha Lee’s Advice-

will believe them. I thank all the readers who have given their opinion. 3. Suppose you happen to look back and see a girl friend walking with two other girls you know and there is not enough room on the walk for four. Should the boy walk on. or should he wait and ask his friend to walk with him: RORINSON CRUSOE. 1. I appreciate your confession, Robinson. If my “atni-petting” readres have won you by their arguments, you have won me by your frankness. It is not a small thing to admit defeat:, even though you are writing anonymously. As to the “soul kiss,” each time it robs you of some sense of the beauty of love. 2. Walk along with the girls and the one who is your particular friend naturally will walk with you.
