MRS. COOLIDGE ENTERS FLAPPER DRESS IN ROW OF FAME

President’s Wife Puts First Ankie-Length Gown With These Worn by Firs t Ladies of the Larrl of Former Days. By ALI-ENE SUMNER JJEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. —The very first “Happor urcss’’ is about to take up its abode in “Presidents’ Wife Aisle” of the National Museum, where stand in regal array mannikins of all the White House F’irst Ladies wearing their favorite gowns of White House days.

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge has chosen her gown, and it will be installed in the famous aisle before long. It is called a “flapper gown” because it will be the first gown in the famous collection to show a First Lady ankle. Its Mode—Simplicity It is a simple, straight-line, formal gown of soft white satin with square-cut neck and court-train, worn by this First Lady at the diplomatic White House reception of December, 1923—the first public reception of the Coolidge administration. It was the gown worn by Mrs. Coolidge on the night 'which introduced the now much-advertised “Mrs. Coolidge charm.” A society reporter wrote of that festive occasion: “Mrs. Coolidge wore no ornaments but the graciousness of a lovely woman” She carried white roses over her arm that night, and it is possible that the completed museum model may carry a similar bouquet. There may be a simple ornament in the masses of marceled hair, but no other jewelry. Mrs. Wilson There The last gown to be placed in this famous collection was “a trousseau gown” of Mrs. Edith Bolling Wilson, worn by her to affairs of regal pomp and dfclendor when she accompanied Woodrow Wilson on his triumphal tour of Europe. This gown is of rich velvet, black is the latter days which shadowed the war president’s life. The utmost secrecy shrouds preparations for the installing of the Mrs. Coolidge gown. Sculptor \V. H. Egberts of the museum, who models the mannikins which act as First Ladies in the exhibit, refused to comment upon the preparation of the Mrs. Coolidge model, but talked about the general process. , Dykaar’s bust of Mrs. Coolidge, laid to be her favorite one, stood in Sculptor Egberts’ laboratory beside iwet clay bust of a gracious, poised 4|ure crowned with marceled locks. I Times Have Changed [' Egberts has made a dozen First Lady models in the past fifteen years. ts complains that ’’times aren't what they used to was.” "When I first began making Models for certain dresses of First Ladies, we merely made the bust md stuck slippers underneath. But times have changed since Manila Washington’s dresses. “Our hard work began with the Mrs. Harding figure. Her gown was short enough to permit her instep u> ihow, so we had to begin carving feet and ankles of wood, painting ■hem, dressing them in shoes and dippers.” “Cordelia” the Model One bust only, that of Connelly’s ‘Cordelia,” has served as model for the mannikin of each First Lady in ’Presidents’ Wife Aisle.” Years ago when the collection was itarted, the sponsors decided to select one regal, patrician face for ach model. s “Although no protraiture is intendid,” says Sculptor Egberts, “it is imazing to see how this one type

Wrong With Women? By Mrs. Walter Ferguson “What’s the matter with the women?” This is a -question which we hear often repeated. Who knows the real answer? Something Is indeed the matter with the women, for entirely too many of them are not leading normal existences. The war, which destroyed the finest young men in the world, left many nations pitifully lacking material for husbands. Enormous national debts were piled up by the martial monster, necessitating new economic burdens for both men and women. And on top of all this, the mad passion for independence and freedom which has been preached by certain cults, has served to addle feminine thinking, sometimes to an alarming extent. While it may be true that there are some women who can find a sort of content outside of the job which nature intended them to perform, yet it is absolutely certain that many thousands of them are miserable because they are forced by opinion or circumstances to forego serious job which is their real work. Women, and especially American women, are not having enough babies. This is not always their fault, but it is always their misfortune. Unconsciously, perhaps—for it seems certain that they do not understand this sact —they arc seeking the supreme content which only that person finds who fulfills his destiny. Normal woman cannot hope to be happy by thwarting the purpose for which nature intended her. It is a flaw of the universe which all education and culture cannot dispute. In this country countless women are living at cross purposes with life because they have too few children or none at all. Os course, it is to be expected that certain of the wise sisters will scorn this idea. But who of the wise sisters is not beset by cynicism and restlessness and bitter disillusion? There nro many abnormal women these days, but she who is not abnormal must continue her eternal quest, must yearn for her great de-

sire, must follow after her holy grail—maternity. If larger families might become the fashion again, we would not find so many miserable women aimlessly pursuing they know not what. The busy mother does not have time to follow the cults.
