Printed Chiffon
BY HEDDA HOYT (United Press Fashion Editor) Luncheon time at any of the smart, hotels proves that the printed chiffon frock is the headliner this season. Asa rule, the chiffon is of small floral figured pattern of conservative type rather than of largepatterned flashy type. One-piece printed frocks outnumber two-piece types, the majority of models having slightly bloused crushed girdles and skirts trimmed with tiers flounces, or pleats. Sleeves are long except in some instances where dark chiffon or georgette coats are worn over them. Next in importance to printed frocks are monotoned effects. The plain beige or gray theme is repeated in many instances and here we find the entire costume of crepe satin, crepe or georgette matched by shoes, hosiery and hat. Rosebeige tones are quite prominent, as are some of the soft banana and flesh tones. Black continues it’s popularity especially among older women. The large black straw hat is without doubt the choice of the season for afternoon wear, being worn with printed frocks as well/as with plain ones. Beige and deep brown hair hats often accompany costumes of beige coloring. One nptices that the smartlydressed woman wears less jewelry during the daytime than formerly. For instance, numerous bracelets of last season are replaced by one or two bracelets of semi-precious type which harmonize in color with the costume. Chalcedony and grayish agate necklaces and bracelets are worn with gray costumes, carnelian and jade, used separately or together conform with almost any color scheme, rose-quartz is worn with costumes having a flesh or pinkish tone and amethyst is worn with pastel orchid costumes. The favorite necklace of the moment is the choker of large carved semi-precious beads such as rose-quartz, amethyst, carnelian or jade. Parties Arranged Miss Gertrude Schuller, daughter •f Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Schuller, ®570 N. Delaware St., who will marry Wilbur Lewis Appel, July 27, will be lonored with a party Wednesday by Miss Sarah Birk, 5550 Central Ave. On July 23, Miss Lenora Bernloehr and Miss Ethel Swartz will entertain for her. At Hartford City Miss Alta Curry, of this city, was married Thursday morning at the aome of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Curry in Hartford City, to Benjamin A. Van Winkle, Hartford City manufacturer. Mr. Van Winkle was formerly president of the Indiana State Manufacturers Association. After a trip through Canada the couple will be at home in Hartford City. Annual Picnic The home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Keenan, twelve miles north of Broad Ripple, was the scene of the annual picnic of the Past Matrons and Patrons’ Association of the Order of Eastern Star, Thursday night. A business meeting followed the supper and there were contests and games.

BY ROY J. GIBBONS l HICAGO, July 15.—1f you f j want to know why husbands occasionally walk out on their lawfully wedded wives and break the connubial bonds without the assistance of a divorce court, listen to Miss Irene Inderrieden, who has been studying this interesting subject for twelve years. Miss Inderrieden is director of the city’s social service bureau, a branch of the Court of Domestic Relations. This bureau handles \>n an average some 50,000 cases yearly—cases where husbands have fled and must be coaxed or forced into resuming the marital bonds. So she knows her subject. Lists Twelve Reasons There are, she says, approximately twelve reasons for wife-de-1 sertion. She doesn’t think much of j any of them, and says: “To date, no husband has given me a first-class excuse, forthright and capable of standing on its hind legs and looking the world square in the eye.” She adds, however, that in a good 50 per cent of the cases friend wife is pretty much to blame when the husband departs. She has prepared a little tablej setting forth her conclusions as to wife desertion. She has it all worked out on a percentage basis, and it reads as follows: Another Woman—ll per cent. Financial Troubles—l 2 per cent. “Tired of Her”—6 per cent. Too Many Children—B per cent. Bad Cooking—2 per cent. Nagging—B per cent. Wife’s Untidiness—% of 1 per cent. Disillusionment—3 per cent. Extravagance —4 per cent. Wife’s Infidelity— lo per cent. Too Much “in law”—B per cent. Wife’s unworthiness —Vi of 1 per cent. She has 'found out other little things about wandering husbands, too. , . .. More husbands leave home in the summer than at any othfer time, she says. Furthermore, a husband is more apt to desert on a holiday, when he is at home and pressed by annoying little home problems, than he is on any other day when work keeps him away from the house. Wives with temperamental husbands would do well to keep an eye on them when early spring comes. That is a very bad season for husbands. Spring makes them touchy; nerves that have been put on edge by a long winter spent in close contact with the family are apt to lead to thoughts of escape. Unless the husband is thoroughly domesticated, he is likely to get the wanderlust in the springtime Yet, for all her close acquaintance with marital debalces, Miss Inderrieden is thoroughly in favor of marriage as an institution. She recommends it heartily to any on 6 “with nerve and comon sense enough to try it.” She does not say which of these qualities is most desirable. Calls for Tact “Marriage is and always will be a going concern,” she says. “It will always pay big dividends to those who are willing to enter it with the ideals of fair play and the determination to make a go of it. “Marriage takes plenty of diplomacy, a good deal of charity and considerable tact if it is to succeed. If more married people would be a bit more willing to turn the other cheek instead of demanding an eye for an eye in their disagreements, things would be a lot more pleasant— “And fewer husbands would leave home.”

Farm Woman’s Progress Cited by Economics Dean By Vnitrd Preen LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 15.—Speaking before the rural life conference at Purdue University today, Mary L. Matthews, dean of the school of home economics, declared that farm women as a class have more leisure, are better educated and are more interested in their obligations as citizens of a community than they used to be. “It is not possible to distinglish the city woman from the farm woman either in appearance or intelligence,” she declared, “and both are interested in club activities ‘ and civic betterment. Miss Matthews’ address follows in part: “The farm woman’s importance as an economic factor in farm life needs to be more generally recognized,” she argued. “If she were paid
in cash # for the thingfe she does in' the home and on the farm, it is estimated that she would be maktng more than $1,500 yearly. The returns, however, for her efforts are hefllliving and the pleasure she receives from her home and family. Activities Outside Home “Her activities outside the home are many, but as yet her full value to the community never has been recognized,” Miss Matthews went on. “Why not let women have more authority in school matters—women on school boards and as trustees should be more numerous. If they were given the right to select teachers they would undoubtedly select those who w.ere intelligent, welltrained and sympathetic, instead of choosing teachers who would promise not to bob their hair or wear skirts shorter than eight inches from the ground, as was done by one school board in Indiana. “By no means is the farm woman a housekeeper par excellence just because she does everything within her, home with her own two hands,” Miss Matthews pointed out. “She needs to use all the agencies available outside the home which have been organized to help her. If these are used she will have time to do the important things both in family and civic life. Needs Club Work “She needs to be affiliated with organizations such as clubs because through these she has the opportunity to talk things over, to become interested in other than housekeeping problems, pnd to accomplish much good for her community. “The farm woman today needs sympathetic understanding from man,” concluded the dean. “Men should realize that women have changed and that conditions are different and that the farm woman today should not devote all her time to housekeeping. What we need in Indiana is to have every farm home a comfortable one,, with an intelligent woman as a manager, who sees her opportunities, and with men in that home who realize that women should do more than supply the physical needs of a family.”

‘Brought Up in Respect for Women' BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A man said with great pride, “I was brought up to respect women,” much as he would have declared, “I was brought up to be kind to animals,” or “My mother taught me to be considerate of criminals.” This attitude in the male is to me not only entertaining but highly puzzling. How do they get that way—these condescending gentlemen who think they are crowning themselves and their sex with a special glory because they tolerate those frail creatures called women? Women may not be as strong, they may not be as smart; they may be temperamental, afraid of bugs and mice and guns and thunder, but is there any reason on earth why a man should take special credit because he respects them? Why should he not respect them? ' Suppose a man’s father to have been a gay blade, and his grandfather a roue of high degree. He may himself have had a vermilion record that has never bleached any nearer to white than a colorful terracotta. Behind him he will say, lie generations of pure and capable women. His sisters are pure and capable. His wife might be Caesar's as far as character goes. Yet with the condescension that the Prince of Babylon might have bestowed on his Christian slave, he says magnificently, “I was brought up to respect women.” Perhaps something happened to shake his faith. But even so, that could have no relation to the way he had been “brought up.” If it came to a stockholders’ meeting in this matter of faith-losing few will there be to contradict the statement that women hold the voting shares. And have you ever heard a woman brag that “she was brought up to respect men?” To some men, just being a woman it seems, carries a stigma.

SUMMER BEAUTY
BY MME. ANNE GERARDE For NEA Service If your skin is oily, it means that your whole system has too much oil. So avoid eating butter and other fats. Oily skins should reecive the most scrupulous cleansing of all skins. Use only the lightest of skin foods and use it only once a day. After the skin food is used be sure to apply a strong astringent. Several times a day dip & piece of cotton in witch hazel and sponge off the face, paying special attention to the enlarged pores characteristic of nose and chin. This has the double advantage of cleansing and closing the pores. Once a week rub the face thoroughly with one of the soft dry meals used for that purpose. Then cut a lemon in half and rub the face thoroughly with this. Lemon is the most drying of all astringents and also has a bleaching property that helps oily skins.
Woman’s Party Favors Alimony Paying by Wives By United Pr; WASHINGTON. July 15. Alimony for husbands? Certainly, under conditions in which wives are now granted alimopy, say tne militant feminists of the National Woman’s party. A man recently was granted alimony in California. A judge in Chicago refused a husband alimony with his divorce, and an Ohio husband is reported seeking alimony. “We favor removing all discrimination between sexes,” Mary Gertrude Fendall, in charge of woman's party headquarters here, told the United Press today. However, there is little chance that the feminists will make any campaign for alimony for husbands. There are too many discriminations against women for them to devote time to this subject just now, Miss Fendall said. The organization’s declaration of principles does not even mention the word alimony. It does, however, register a protest that women are discriminated against. “The husband shall no longer obtain divorce more easily than the wife.” it says, “and the wife shall have the right to obtain divorce on the same ground as the husband.” Delegates of the party today were carrying their case directly to President Coolidge in the South Dakota Black Hills. They were, to ask his support for the Curtis-Anthony proposed constitutional amendment, which would remove at one stroke all laws discriminating between the sexes, including any alimony inequalities in the divorce laws.
