CHICAGO AIDS SLOW SOCIETIES Movement Against Petting, Gin and ‘Flaming Youth’ Gaining. 89 Times Special CHICAGO. March B.—Chicago’s glow clubs, whose fame has spread rapidly throughout the land, are moving at a fast pace. Miss Olive Potter, pretty and 17, *n artist’s model, originated the idea by organizing a group of women against petting, gin and “flaming youth” in general. Her proclamation that all girls of the same mind as she band together met with a large response. Her mail during the last week has been extremely heavy. Now the men have taken to the idea. Sponsored by the Northwestern University Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, a journalistic fraternity, men students of the Evanston institution will organize their own variety of slow club Wednesday night. Those tired of living in a hurry and drinking bootleggers’ stuff are eligible. Co-eds Organizing And the co-eds, not to be outdone, are forming their own organizations in self-defense. Many Northwestern students will attend a mass meeting tonight at the Chicago Women’s Club, called for the purpose of consolidating all the slow clubs in Chicago and suburbs. Cecil J. Proud, night editor of the Daily Northwestern, student publication, and Walter Martin will lead the men’s cheering section. Even the Chicago recreation commission has been taken by the idea and will aid the new organizations. A. B. Brunker, chairman of the commission, said *he will cooperate with these groups in order to speed the clubs on their newly popularized path to the broader fields of amusements which swifter companions have passed by. Tired of Fast Pace Miss Mary Merrill, nationally known for her work in developing community activities, who will represent the commission, said of the clubs: “The movement indicates that the time has come for the pendulum to swing away from the present hectic standards of living. The city is full of young men and women who do not care for the erstwhile smart amusements that are readily accessible, and therefore have a lonesome time. These young people are dissatisfied with the commonplaces of gin-drinking parties.”

LUNCHEON —Beef broth with noodles, salsify salad, health bread, sponge cake, canned pears, milk, tea. DINNER —Braised veal steak, boiled rice, scalloped tomatoes, salad of pineapple, oranges and dates, chocolate pudding, graham bread, milk, coffee.

By Allene Suinner CHAPTER II If you raised your boy to be an elevator operator who would rise from the .ranks in his profession, don't send him to Washington for a job. It was George, the distraught elevator chauffeur in my hotel, who gave me “the low-down” on the dire state of affairs for an elevator boy trying to get somewhere in the Capital City; A dozen or so official families lived in the hotel. I had noticed no little commotion among the good women when the elevator stopped for collection and delivery. Alphonse-Gaston Stuff “You first, my dear Gaston,” stuff seemed to be overdone. I had been somewhat puzzled at seeing spry young creatures serenely precede aged and decrepit dowagers in and out of the cars. I had heard them carry on conversations something like this — “I am quite sure it is your right. Your state came into the union before Idaho.” Or, "Pardon me, but I really can’t get into the car until you do. Your husband is a senior senator.” Serious statistics really prove that for every ten elevator trips made in normal cities, an hotel or store elevator can make but four trips in Washington. In Capital of Democracy Precedence. That’s the answer. Precedence, explained for “those of us” who don’t have any of it, is what makes wives of secretaries of state sit at the right hand of the President of the United States. Precedence is what makes congressmen’s wives call on senators’ wives. Precedence is what makes the wife of the minister from Timbuctoo go home from the party before she’s ready so that the lesser lights can journey forth to their trundle beds. And precedence is what makes the elevator racket. For the law of the Washington Medes and Persians

She already has three adopted children and said her experiment was working out so well she wanted to adopt a fourth. lOWA CITY, la.—A romance sounding almost like fiction was revealed in a telegram received from Miss Ruth Vetter, co-ed at lowa University and daughters of a millionaire button manufacturer, who announced her marriage to Sherwood Phillips, son of a button dyer in the Vetter plant.

shopping is a virtue rather than a vice. But to the clothes for you. Everything this season has its own coat. Many are short, some sleeveless, some mere cape or drapery effects, but quite necessary in the general scheme of things. A Snakeskin Coat I vote two to one in favor of the short coat because of its youthfulness. A snakeskin coat I saw had some of the fascination of the serpent about it without any of its horror, for you know it isn’t real. It comes in velvety shades of gray, the light tones of which just match a cunning little gray crepe dress with belt of the coat material. The dress is a delight with its plaited skirt and simple blouse. Another short coated model I saw was quite a practical one of navy blue silk, with rather a decided rib something like that in silk poplin. It was lined with blue satin of the same shade, forming the cunning little reverses and plaited section in the front. Lovely embroidery in blue and old rose trims the collar, cuffs, sleeves and pockets and the little vest is of rose colored satin and crepe. Two wide folds at the hem gave it an unusually attractive line at tho hem. Father said I might have one like this. For Traveling A long coated model struck me as excellent for traveling. , It is of navy blue kasha, lined with blue and white foulard which also makes the dress. Bands of bright red with blue buttons pep up the frock and trim the neat little .vest that particularly took my fancy. Don’t you think you should have at least one very lovely taffeta gown for your trousseau? I would suggest a black with overskirt of finely embroidered handkerchief linen and white at the neck and sleeves. If you prefer, navy blue with ecru; would be Charming. Vionnet is showing adorable gowns of crepe de chine, trimmed entirely with small tucks in various arrangements 'so that absolutely no other trimming is required. Waist lines are cleverly indicated giving you no idea how they are achieved. A white one would be lovely for sports, then you could have different colored hats and accessories for it. There goes the economy of France in my system again when apparently you never have to consider making one frock do the work of four or five. Let me know if you like any of the things I’ve mentioned here and we’ll try to make you the best-look-ing bride with the most up-to-the-minute trousseau that Indianapolis has ever seen. It must be getting spring In Indianapolis right now. And such a lovely spring as it can be when you aren’t having too many spring showers. * ILENE.

as they figure out which State entered the union first. It is said some women in Washington official life carry a certain little note book with ail these dates jotted down within. There are a few insurgents who prefer Emily Post etiquet to official Washington etiquet. A certain senator’s wife said to me: “I was raised to permit older women to precede me and I just can’t do differently even if the older woman does happen to be a congressman’s wife.” “The Demon” But the senator’s wife confided that her mode of conduct was “bad business.” “ ‘The Demon’ has phoned me about it,” she said. “The Demon,” it seems, is a selfappointed arbiter who has been in official life long enough to know her onions and who spends her days surveying the lives of her fellow official women and looking for flaws in their conduct. When she finds them, she phones: “Dear, you must be more careful. I saw you permit that Mrs. S. from Osceola to enter the elevator first last evening. You Senate ladies mustn’t forget your, duty to the dignity of the country. And they tell me, dear, that you're behind in your calls.” The Bargain Counter But to go back to George—“lf they only knew their dates and stuck to ’em, we could keep the cars moving. But they cackle so about it.” And life is trying to a congressman’s wife in Washington when she's on her way to a bargain counter, when there's but one pair of $1 .49 hose left, and the senator’s wife —“w'lio doesn’t need bargains half as much as I do!”—gets to the table first —because the social law T rules thusly.

GOWNS TRIMMED WITH MIRRORS SHOWN HERE Snakeskin Coats Also Exhibited at Style Show New •Compose’ Costumes Radiant. By Eldora Field A dress trimmed in mirrors! Sounds vain, but the mirrors are tiny things, applied in circles and are not unlike sequins in effect. Anyway, they're one of Dame Fashions new trimmings for evening gowns.

A snakeskin coat —made from rattlesnakes at that—sounds immensely exciting, but it is quietly stunning, with most artistic markings and beautifully blended colorings. Bows Everywhere And bows, bows everywhere and not a bow to spare, if you want to be in ultra style this season! Never were so many bows show'n on every kind of garment, except strictly tailored ones, and girdles also are fairly outdoing themselves, some of the newest dresses, two of ’em. Tiered skirts are new and persistently present on many of the new gowns and pleats were never more popular: in every sort of costume that milady will wear, from the jaunty morning two-piece to the flowing evening dress, pleats are seen. The uneven hem line appears frequently. especially on the new gowns, and the bolero is still excellent. ' “Compose” Is Latest' Clothes may not make the woman. but some of the radiant “compose” costumes —positively fashion's smartest dress arrangement this spring—will go far toward making her stunning. The “compose” is a skirt, blouse and coat whose colors all harmonize. Several materials are combined. Adorable costumes “compose” were shown at the spring fashion 3how of L. S. Ayres & Cos., this afternoon and will be shown again Wednesday. Forty-six original French models of every kind of gown, with the ‘‘compose” well represented were shown and feminine “Ohs” and “Ahs” followed nnd the graceful movements of dozens of pretty models who displayed the foreign creations and numberless fascinating medium-priced frocks and |coats, with hats, shoes nnd accessories to match. To the strains of orchestra music, filtering through palms and other greenery and with soft and colorful lights turned upon them, the models paraded along a ‘‘board walk” which

Especially striking sports dresses have blouses of colorful stripes with hats matching the mot vivid of the stripes. Practical outfits for shopping or calling were the models with top coats to match.
