Camp Head Declares Modern Girl Freer Than Those of Past

By MARIAN HALE. NEW YORK, June 26.—Flapper she may be, serious thoughts she may lack —but the modern girl has this superiority over her sister of tlje past: £he's more free and democratic. This is the contention of Miss Josephine Little, director of eight girls’ camps conducted by the national board of the Y. W. C. A. Her observation of the girls at these camps, has brought her to this conclusion. "The modern girl no longer looks forward to a summer vacation composed of conquests and summer proposals,” Is the way Miss Little compares them with our mothers when they were young. “Now,” she explains, "she wants to go to camp like her brother. She rebels if she faces the prospect of a vacation with headquarters on the summer hotel veranda. All Girls Equal The absolute democracy of the girls' camp is Its biggest appeal, Miss Little believes. ““Colored kid slippers, tissueweight stockings, skeleton frocks and floppy hats give way tb middies and bloomers, stout shoes and wool stockings,” she continues. “When every girl Is dressed like every other girl, equality in looks immediately eliminates class distinction or competition In dress. “With the freedom from skirts and the absence of high heels and fripperies, girls begin to develop self-reliance and the more substantial virtues. "They gain self-confidence finding their way about in the woods or in the water. They develop new interests and enthusiasm that completely overshadow what they shall wear or how they shall look. “Regular hours and out-door life give them such clear complexions that beauty lotions and lip sticks are forgotten. A love of nature Is invariably fostered by camp studies, and the spirit of helfulness is bound to prevail.” The phenomenal growth of popularity in the camps is a proof that t.he young girl of today is not sb had as she is painted, Miss Little believes. “'The camp movement is equally popular wjth parents,” she concludes. "They approve of the health, wholesome development and Ihe Initiative the camps give their daughters. Living with others on equal terms, away from family protection, is the rfest way to cultivate a respect for the rights of the whole family group.” 18 HOMES ARE PLANNEO Construction Company to Erect Block on Meridian St. Announcement was made today by the T-Square Construction Company of the purchase of ground on the southwest corner of Meridian and Fifty-Fifth Sts., for $27,000.

They take the form of dolls, ducks, chickens and bouquets, and are much more decorative than the old style of holder.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

tween you and me. I don’fe believe John's mother is sick at all. She is just a selfish old woman. She wants every one at her beck and call. Are ill old people more or less selfish. mother? Os course you and dad are not, but then I never thought of you as old. But all other people who are over sixty have seemed to me to be trying not only to live their own lives the way they want to live but to make every one with whom they come in contact live lives according to the plans which old people .ay down. They ne,ver seem to understand that the world moves and we are now on the ascendent while they are shuffling off. Sounds terrible. doesn’t it. but I guess we young people are franker than the last generation. ’ Mrs. Prescaft (I can’t for the life of me call her “mother”) Is determined to dislike me and in this she is aided an 3 abetted by that narrowminded, gossiping old maid, Priscilla Bradford, who I know wanted to marry jack herself, and who considers that I vamped Jack into marrying me. A fat chance she would have had of marrying John Alden Prescott even if I had never met him. mother dear! No one was at the train to meet me, but of course I hardly expected that. However, I was surprised to be met at the door by Mrs. Prescott, arrayed in her bbst black silk and otl\er garments of state. I choked a little as I said, “I presume you are better," and she answered with much dignity, “I think I know what is due my daughter-in-law on her first visit. I have probably arisen from my death-bed to greet you.” NEXT; Leslie’s letter continued— The cause of the hurry-call.

How American Women May Keep Faces Young “The American smart woman ages early, far earlier than the English woman,” says Christian Miller, F. C. 1., famous English health expert. She adds that our climate “so .exhilarates that you over-exert yourselves and grow old before you know It. That snipe exhilarating air dries the skin. The skin that lacks moisture grows pnle and withered looking and soon forms wrlpkles. “The American complexion” Is best treated'by applying pure tnercollzed wax. which causes the faded. lifeless cuticle to flake off In minute particles, a little each day, until the fresh, young skin beneath Is wholly In evidence.

Would you advise me what to do? BEBE DANIELS. Looks as if the staged* just set for a happy marriage, doesn't it? Only the question of age intervenes. A boy of 20, as a rule, is not prepared -to take on the responsibilities q| a home, financial and otherwise. I should suggest that you postpone your wedding for about two years. J. L.

Do you think it would be right for me to see him over? We love each other. UNHAPPY. The fact that your husband may have broken his marriage vows would not excuse you, should you break yours. It is best for you not to see this man. Instead, devote your attention to making yourself and your home so attractive that your husband will want to be with you.

Boxer’s Wife Says Happy Marriage Depends on Adequate Finances

This is the third of a series of interviews with professional married women on the subject of marriasre. By XEA Service PHILADELPHIA, June 26.—" The happy marriage is ond* that is built from the start on a firm financial basis, no matter how small that basis may be.” This Is the opinion of A. Florence Yerger-Hagan, Philadelphia lawyer, who is the wife of “Philadelphia Jack O'Brien,” former light heavyweight champion of the world. “You see,” she went on, “as an attorney, and also as aide to my husband in managing his gymnasiums, I constantly see all classes of men—many rich men who come to my husband to be put in condition, as well as many poor ones who consult me professionally. “Men in the gymnasium become boys once more, while men and women in dealing with an attorney are obliged to be direct. Hence I have two excellent vantage points from which to study human nature. Saving Essential * “When I say a marriage must be on a firm financial basis. I do not mean that the commercial element should dominate /marriage. I mean that both must be on the alert to save money for the dead sure rainy day. “No one. man or woman, wants to make all the money and watch the other fellow spend It. A wise wife, to my mind, spends her husband’s money for a good purpose In which he' shares. “The woman who budgets her household accounts well, shows in a small way what her ability as a business woman might be. There is no logical reason why a woman should remain in the home, though, if she can help her husband more by working outside, helping him perhaps in his business. Mutual Interest "Nor do I know of any reason why a woman with good earning capacity should not buy her own wardrobe.” The successful wife, Mrs. YergerHagen believes, is onk who takes a personal interest in the ups and downs of her husband’s affairs, particularly his downs. And the happy husband is one who shares with his wife a community of Interests. She believes in early marriages. "I don’t have much faith In these late marriages.” she concludes. "1 believe they are one of the bad phases of modern life. The early marriage, in which mutual progression Is an ideal, is the successful marriage.”
