BUDGET YOUR INCOME FOR CLOTHES, CLUB WOMEN TOLD

Responsibility of Family’s Appearance Rests on the Mother, Purdue Teacher Says Declares 15 Per Cent Is Amount That Should Be Spent. By Mary R. Farmer “The skill and taste of a mother in clothing the family determines the special position and the health and efficiency of the family,” Miss Gertrude Owens of Purdue University told members of the home and education department of the Woman’s Department Club at the meeting Wednesday afternoon at the club house.

•‘The responsibility for clothing the American family rests on the mother,” Miss Owens said. ‘‘Dress is so important because we speak to people through our clothes. Whether we know people personally or not, our clothes speak to them and tell them the kind of people that we are. ‘‘Clothes phychologically affect the wearer,” she continued. ‘‘Probably it is the manner in which girls are dressed which sometimes make them get carried off and kidnaped in large cities and makes the men who pass them on the street insult them.” In telling the women how to manage about clothes, Miss Owens advised them to have a plan for spending and buying, that is, a budget. Fifteen per cent of the income is the average amount which American families spend on clothes, she said. "Then let your purchase be determined by the standards which you have made for yourself by your ideals. Train your children to discern the good from the bad. There will be less worry ovef the moral situation of the young people if they are trained to spend and buy carefully. ‘‘The woman of moderate means looks better, as a rule, than the wealthy woman, because she makes an invoice of her clothes, checks over her needs, knows what she wants and takes good care of her clothes.” Mrs. Frank J. Lahr presided at the meeting and Mrs. W. C. Zirpel sang. Several demonstrations and talks on kitchen appliances were given and tea was served following the program. BRIDGE AT SPINK ARMS Mrs. William Alexander Holt was the hostess Wednesday for a luncheon bridge at the Spink Arms. The guests were seated at one long table which was decorated with a large silver bowl of pink and yellow roses. Yellow tapers in silver holders were used and streamers of smilax and rose leaves led from the centerpiece to both ends of the table. Mrs. Holt was assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Harry Kyle Dunn and Mrs. Wilbur Bryan Shook, and Mrs. Oscar J. Ensley, Miss Josephine Shook and Mrs. Horace Moorman.

TO PET OR SMOKE TOO OLD FASHIONED, MOTTO Decency Club Organized by Wisconsin Girls —Will Taboo Drinking, Too.

Bu United Press „ , BURLINGTON, Wis„ Feb. 24. Feeling that drinking, smoking and petting are becoming too common to be smart any longer, twenty-four girls here have fortned a “Decency Club,” and have forsworn cigarets and liquor and “petting” parties. Caroline Eagen, 19, founder of the club, declared that the slogan of the organization is: “To pet, smoke or drink is old-fashioned.” The girl members of the club are required to take a pledge, which reads as follows: “I agree to stop smoking. “I promise never to drink except in company of pay parents. “I will not pet with members of the opposite sex, but will save myself for the man I love. “I agree to attend each weekly meeting of the Decency Club except in case of illness or important business and will abide‘by its rules.” Meetings of the club, according to Miss Eagen, are held every Tuesday.

Red Headed? You Will Like This 81l Times Svecinl CLEVELAND, Feb 24—The red-headed woman is more dependable than her blonde and brunette sisters, according to Dr. C. L. Holland of Fairmount, W. Va., who learned about women during twenty-six years of treating their ailments. Here to attend the convention of the American College of physicians, Dr. Holland gave an analysis of feminine types based on the color of their hair. Here is a report of his findings: Blondes: Clinging vine type; very affectionate, rtiaybe; deeply emotional, perhaps; sentimental, not assertive; passive; spooney. Brunette: Aggressive, assertive;. snappy eyes; alert; peppy. The red head: Fiery emotion and stamina; vivacious; dependable; temperamental; full of pep, initiative ,and. .vigor; acute sense of humor; in short, everything her blonde and brunette sisters are, and a little bit more. “Constancy typifies the redhead,” Dr. Holland said. "Blondes are fickle, sometimes dizzy. Brunettes are inclined to be vampish. “But the redhead? Ah, they are dependable,” he added. Dr. Holland said he was so fond of redheads that he couldn’t understand why he had married a brunette.

NOMINATE OFFICERS FOR CLUB Mfs. S. E. Perkins Named for Presidency of Department. Mrs. S. E. Perkins was nominated almost unanimously for president of the Woman’s Department Club as a result of the balloting held at the clubhouse Wednesday. John R. Curry was practically unanimous as the choice of club members for corresponding secretary. Mrs. Everett Schofield received the highest number of votes for first vice president and Mrs. Edward Ferger for third vice president. Other names voted on for these two offlces*probably will appear on the election ballots to be voted on March 9, according to Mrs. A. J. Clark, chairman of the nominating committee. Mrs. T. A. Keller and Mrs. Carl Fletcher received the two highest numbers of votes among candidates for auditor. There was a very scattering vote for the three directors at large to he elected. Those receiving the highest votes in the order of their majority were Mesdames Alvin T. Coate, William Welch, William Freund, Harry L. Foreman, Harvey Grimes, George Weaver, Arthur Thomas and R. O. McAlexander.

Membership of the club, except for its officers, is secret. The girls who have already joined the club range in age from 17 \o 23, Miss Eagen said. “Promiscuous petting,” Miss Eagen explained, “is absolutely nd good. But if we say to prospective members of the dub ‘let’s go back to the old days of ten years ago,’ not many would sign,up. But when we say petting is getting so common that drinking among girls is getting to be a cheap thrill, and that smoking is all out of date, that to abstain from these is the modern and smart thing to do, then we get members.” Miss Eagen admits she has smoked, but says .she does not think it is good for young girls to do so. When asked if she had ever seen girls drink. Miss Eagen said: “I’ll telhyou the girl who goes to a public' dance today has only one chance out of nine of not being by some boy to go out to the car for a nip from a bottle.” Miss Eagen said she got the idea of starting the club from seeing a lot of things and then thinking about them. .JOINT HOSTESSES Guests fori fourteen tables’ of luncheon bridge were entertained Wednesday when Mrs. J. J. Schmid and Mrs. Thomas F. Carson entertained. The tables were arranged with fed sweet peas and freesias. Mrs. J. 11. Walker and Mrs. R. E.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

REVEALED AT THE LINGERIE SHOW Color and Frills Galore Bespeak Progress Since Day Embroidered White Cambric Was Ultra Elegant.

By Betsy Schuyler NBA Service Writer NEW YORB. Feb. 18.—Pajamas, negligees and what few undergarments the modern woman still permits herself were seen in all their glory and ultra-modernism at the lingerie show held by the United Women’s Wear League of America. How we have progressed from the d&y when fine white "cambric, embroidered by hand with eyelet embroidery, was considered, the really elegant petticoat! After I had seen a number of Combinations of crimson crepe de chine trimmed with black lace or embroidered in colors, and had Inspected several combinations and nightgowns composed entirely of black Chantilly lace with ruffles of pleated black chiffdn, I was quite wifllng to admit that we live in a jazz age, all right. Ruffled and Plain The dance set, consisting of a lace bandeau and a very much ruffled pair of bloomers, seems to be the most popular type of lingerie for the flapper, though I saw many attractive and very feminine combinations with plain tops, that fitted in the smooth manner the modern dress demands. Aiming only for the high spots, I should say that nile green is the most popular shade for lingerie, with pink, of course, not to be downed, because of its long established vogue. Lace was used lavishly not only in white and Cream, but dyed to match the material, in black on color, and in gold and silver as well. I must admit it will take a little more persuasion to win me over to metal trimmed undies. When it came to knock-you-cold effects, the pajama outfits and the exotic negligees came forward and did the trick. In .pajamas, the threepiece idea prevails, that is, trousers, short coat and a long or three-quar-ter-length coat over all. Color an3 More Color Photographed are two typical pajama styles. The model caressing the pearls had a very colorful twopiece affair of black flat crepe printed with stripes in shades of vivid red, green, orange and blue in wide

There were cape effects, futuristic designs, much gold and silver lace, and fewer French flowers and ribbon bows than w% once associated with attire for the boudoir. All the splendor and display that once manifested itself in the ballroom and the opera has not been lost—merely diverted into other channels. And I can truthfully report that are some restrictions imposed by taste as to what ave may wear In public, the sky is the limit within our own walls. Avery gorgeous bit of lingerie, doubtless a mere nightgown in spite of its magnificence, is displayed by Jane Cowl in her new play—of white silk with bands of silver embroidery. Her jewelry is very Interesting, bangle bracelets and necklaces with slender lace like pendants. Although these are styles of the First Punic War period, they abe not at all demode today. , At the Ziegfeld Opening Chinchilla, ermine and sable had everything their own way at the opening of the new Ziegfeld theater, and were in evidence all evening so that only a hint of a colorful velvet or spangled georgette was revealed. I was able to see Billie Burke's frock which was of pink taffeta and tulle, with pink flowers. Her coat was of sable. The gorgeous Justine Johnson wore flesh colored chiffon with a wrap of orchid chiffon velvet soaked with white fox—there are undoubtedly sartorial advantages in being blonde. Under Hope Hampton’s chinchilla wrap I had tantalizing glimpses of a silver cloth gown. I saw Alice Brady recently in a snappy jumper frock of red flat crepe with a little embroidery and some gold braid discreetly banding the neck and the front and a wide belt of gold kid. No matter what she wears, she .always gives it a certain importance. Beaux Arts Ball Splendor What society is left in New York, and there is cdnsiderable in spite of the Riviera and Falm Beach, came out in great magnificence andsplendor for the Beaux Arts Ball at the Astor. Genevieve Fox was a dream in pink silk and lace, Mrs. E. Stanwood Menken a vision in an Empire gown embroidered in rhinestones and a coat of scarlet velvet banded with ermine. Carolyn Storrs wore a transformation of silver white with her period gown of wfflte satin. Mrs. Frederick C. Church, formerly Muriel Vanderbilt, wore yellow lace and satin, a mantilla of lace and a high comb. All the costumes were reminiscent of old New Orleans —and it was quite easy to become wistfully sentimental about the dear departed days.
