Adults With Emotional Make- Up of Childhood Dangerous to Happiness t i BY MARTHA LEE SHE infantile attitude toward life is the cause of a great deal of trouble in family and community life.' Many persons of mature years are emotional infants. Arrested physical or mental development is easily detected, but for some reason - arrested emotional development escapes notice. Thus many men get into public life who react emotionally like children under 12 years old. Stripped of all rationaliza-
tions, their actions closely resemble those of spoiled children determined to have their own way, and who “won’t play,” “get even,” or “tell mama when they don’t get it. Likewise there are women who can not bear to be crossed in their desires. I know one woman, prominent in the community, and mother of grown children, who when she can not control her husband’s conduct and mold it according to her own standard of right and wrong, attacks him physically, scratching and clawing like a child. Self-control, wisdom, and restraint are adult qualities, and are not inherited, but acquired through growth and experience. People who stop growing emotionally while they are still children are not only seriously handicapped themselves, but are also a menace to those who to live with them. Would Teach Her a Lesson Dear Miss Lee: I have been engaged to the finest fellow on earth, but couldn’t fill a date I had with him one night, and he got sore and did not come over any more for a week. Then I met him at a girl friend’s house, and he told me hg was going to marry another girl. He couldn’t keep his hands off me for five minutes, but we got in an argument and he wouldn’t take me home. He cried and told me he loved me but was just going to teach me a lesson by marrying this other girl because X just might as well learn now as later. He is a stage star, and X love him more than life itself. He doesn’t love this other flrl and he told me so. Miss Lee, should let them live together or not, for I want him back and I love him dearly. RITZA AND DEODIRA. I could not tell from your letter whether your young man had actually married the other girl, or was just contemplating it. If he has married her, forget him. No man worthy of the name would marry one girl to spite another. If he has any prinefple at all he would not ruin three lives to gratify a desire for revenge. If he is that sort, there is no happiness to be had with him, and you are better off without him. If he has not already married the other girl, it may be that he is just bluffing. Keep your dignity, and if his love is sincere it will win out over this silly, spiteful threat. A Different Letter Dear Miss Lee: You receive so many letters from people who are sure that their troubles are the worst. But my letter is different. There are so many young girls who read your column and ..perhaps contribute to it that I have a message There Is happiness. There are men in this world who are like what we would have them to be. Girls are becoming hardened towards life, skeptical about love. I want them to know that I felt as they do. but in the last year, things have been different. _ , „ Fourteen months ago X met the man, and I love him more every day. I. too, used to laugh when people said “Some day you'll meet the man.” but now it has hapepned. So you girls who think that love belongs to the past ages of lavender and old lace are wrong. It still exists and it is beautiful. _ SOMEBODY’S SWEEHEART. It is refreshing to receive a letter like this, and heartening to realize that one girl at least has been able to overtake what she was searching for. Moreover, there is much of wholesome truth in her letter. Real love is rare, but it exists. And it is both good and beautiful. Sunnyside Masked Party A Halloween party was given at Sunnyside Monday night by the Marion County Tuberculosis Association for patidhts, their visitors, and the staff, most of whom were masked.

NOW “MESSAGE” DRESSES
Scrambled Letters on Materials Spell “Cheerio” and “It” So Wearer Can Express Herself Without Saying a Word
H " NEW* YORK, Nov. I.—The latest mode in dresses will make it possible for the enterprising young woman to speak her mind without saying a word. That is the idea of new "message” prints which are on view at an exhibition of designs for silk prints at the Art Center here. Samples of the messages which are printed in the form of scrambled letters on the dress materials are “Cheerio,” “It” and “Je t’aime,” thus enabling the modern American girl to get over her greeting with the
minimum amount of effort. The designs represent work of a group of well-known American artists who seek to translate to silk dress fabric something of the dynamic force of contemporary American life. These artists, calling themselves the “American Group,” are Ralph Barton, Charles B. Falls, Neysa McMein, Clayton Knight, Helen Dryden, F. V. Carpenter, Dwight Ta”lor, John Held Jr., Ruzzie Green and Steichen, the photographer. Steichen, recently introduced the brilliant photographic compositions which, translated to silk, made such arresting and decorative dress designs. In the present exhibit he has done an amazing thing with a sti: ’y of “Buttons and Thread.” Progressing from conservative floral and by now conventional geometric patterns, the designs rfcch the graphic force of “Rhapsody” by John Held Jr., a dedication to classic jazz; “Cinema” by Ralph Barton, a galaxy of Hollywood notables and “Metropolis” by F. V. Carpenter, a representation of Fifth Avenue traffic at its most dynamic. Charles B. Falls’ “Ticker Tape” and “Pegs,” and “April” by Clayton Knight, a sky-scraper view of umbrellas, are noteworthy examples of this new school of applied design.

Pleads for Awakened Citizenship “The best way for us to celebrate Armistice day is to awaken in our citizens a civic consciousness to the extent that they will take part In the making of changes in our forma of government and in the selection of officials,” Dan Sowers, director of the Americanization commission of the American Legion, told members of the Indianapolis Council of Women at the monthly meeting at the Lincoln this afternoon. “Citizens should take part in tho councils of he political parties to which they belong. Hardly half of we people who are supposed to be governing ourselves, go to the polls and vote,” he continued. “If we continue to neglect our government by indifference the result will be the same as if we neglected our business, ,our farms or our homes.” Mrs. W. H. Lewis, president of the council, presided. Mrs. Melville Moon was program chairman.
