Youth Can Look Back in Few Years and Realize Emptiness of ‘Good Times’ BY MARTHA LEE Apathetic little letter from one of our modern young business girls, who lias successfully made her way in the world, shows how lonely a girl can be without any social contacts. This girl of twenty has been unable to go to college. She feels that she is left out of all the gay dances because she is not a member of any social group. Naturally a young college man does not mean to be snob-

bish when he is choosing his “date” for his fraternity dance, but he realizes that if he takes someone who is well acquainted in his social group, both he and she will have a better time than if he were to take a girl who tnew no one. To youth dances, parties ar>£ good times mean so much. When youth is not included in these affairs, it causes a heartache that older persons can not understand unless they too had a similar exerience during their own boy or girl days. However, all I can say is what every older person says, advice that seems cold to a young man or woman in this situation. In just a few years these parties will seem so trivial that it is utterly foolish to worry about them now. Life holds many more fascinating things to do than dancing affairs, and there arc many more important groups than college social organizations. Dear Martha I.ee: I am a girl, 20, and ftn popular at times, but whenever there is a fraternity or sorority dance in town I am forgotten. Why? Because I am not a sorority *?irl. Please advise me how to set In r sorority. I work and do not have an opportunity the college girls have. Miss Lee, isn’t there a business women’s sorority? If so please tell me how to Bet. into It. I will watch your column. Thank you Jn advance. WORRIED DARK EYES. Dear Dark Eyes: I sympathize With you because I know how you feel, but there is no way you can join a sorority except by invitation. When the members of an organization are choosing anew “pledge,” they consider the girl from the standpoint of character, personality, appearance and talent. Check yourself from these points. Dark Eyes, and see if you can qualify. I do not know of any business women’s sorority. There are professional sororities and also the Business and Professional Women’s Club. You can get information about this club by calling the Woman’s Department Club.

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER Girls with jobs have three times the chance to get husbands that stay-at-home girls have. At least that’s true in Germany, where marriage bureau statistics prove it. More stenographers and office girls were married than cooks and other house servants, making the analysts of the statistics believe that a girl’s j pay envelope is a greater attraction than her ability to keep house. a tt a Not So! That's not the reason. The office girl meets men, and the cook and chambermaid rarely see anyone but the iceman and the men of the house. Remember, when such a to-do was heard about the time girls began getting jobs? Remember people who argued that all girls wanted jobs for was to catch husbands? Well, it seems to have worked. tt tt tt Unwed Mothers Speaking of girls, some more statistics present some facts about unwed mothers. They say that the majority of unwed mothers come from small towns, the next largest group from the city, and the fewest from the country. Seventy-five per cent of all mothers without a wedding ring are under 21. A questionnaire submitted to these girls asking their favorite amusements proved that the majority preferred public dancing. Then, or order of preference, came automobile rides, parties, movies, and outdoor sports. Games were last of all, being a splendid argument for the physical culturists who claim that outdoor sports do more for morality than any other factor of modern life. tt tt tt Lucky Us! The average American woman never considers herself especially lucky because she’s allowed to go shopping. But Sanniyeh Haboob, a Mohammedan woman studying in this country, says that she can hardly wait to return to her own women and tell them of the joys of a land where women may go to market and stores, and “know the thrill of rubbing elbows with other women shoppers, and seeing gorgeous displays.” Sometimes it takes an eye and ear from the outside to see and hear some of the blessing to which we are so accustomed that we never count them. tt n *S' Funny! The “stay at home” life of her Mohammedan sisters is pitifully depicted by Sanniyeh Haboob, who harps on “the new world joys of the outside world where the interesting things of life go on.” Funny, isn’t it ,how all the “outside the home” women envy the ’insides,” and the “insides” want to be out?

LACE IS RIGHT-MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT

A “perfect dinner gown”—black lace over a flesh-colored chiffon slip.

By HENRI BEXDEL NEA Service Correspondent •NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Lace has come into its own in this feminine age of costuming. The lace frock is acclaimed now as proper for afternoon, dinner and evening. Always delicately decorative, lace this season achieves a position of honor as the entire medium for some of the smartest creations of the season. I have really been surprised at the many, many times and ways I have hit upon lace to solve this or that problem in getting just the right soft, enhancing effect. Asa filmy shoulder decoration on this chiffon dress, as the graceful big bow and long streamers at the hip of another gown, as a yoke on a smart blouse of a crepe de chine ensemble, as the flouncings on a tiered skirt that needs a fluttering, soft finish, lace has been just about the handiest thing in the world for the coutourier this year. But it is the lace, really, that gave social assurance to the use of lace. Vivacity of Color Colored lace, in vivid greens, blues and reds are as chic as they are delicately vivacious. Black lace is ultra proper for dinner and evening. New metal laces, including silver, gold and bronzes, in luxuriously soft new weaves, are all that a woman needs in the way of beauty. I show today three interpretations of the lace frock. For high teas and other more formal wear there is the bronze tinted metal lace long-sleeved frock. Smart as it is different, this costume has a hip-length jacket with the tiniest little nip in at the waistline that is reminiscent of oldfashioned bodices that topped hooped and paniered skirts. Its skirt has two tiers of shaded bronze lace, the edges much darker than the top. These swoop to dipping back lines that spell style in the new silhouette. Becoming, graceful, this gown is an achievement because with such elaborate material the greatest simplicity is gained. Typical of Semi-Period Vogue For evening dances the gold metal cloth with its elaborate gold lace flounce of liip-depth is luxurious enough to give great confidence to its lucky wearer. This gown is typical of the new semiperiod frocks that are in vogue now. It catches the spirit of the graceful gown of yesteryear, and yet embodies all the season’s style points. Unusual is the V-shaped back of the bodice, with its bow-knot of gold cloth draping its ends down the back for further sofness. A broad banding of the metal cloth finishes the neck and three fitted bands fasn. ion a wide girdle to the bodice. While the front is slightly shorter than the back, this frock’s longer length heralds the approach of longer skirts for spring. The perfect dinner ogwn is black lace, because, pressed into service for an evening dance, it suffices. Such a one is shown. Os fine thread lace over black and fleshcolored chiffon, this model reveals the novel semi-Princess silhouette,

And for gallantry there’s no one can equal Mr. Van de View As he puts them all aboard and bids them each a fond adieu, And he says to one whose beaver coat displays a belt of suede That whenever she returns he’ll have a celebration made.

WINTER STRAWS HERALD SPRING HATS

I © f 1 % 1

Chouquette, a new straw in a new green shade, takes a wing of matching felt for decoration in this mid-season chapeau with narrow brim.

BY HENRI BENDEL fror NEA Service

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Dressing up the small hat with little brims and multitudinous manners of trimming will be Palm Beach’s contribution to spring headgear. Each year as I make hats for the Southland, I realize what harbingers of spring Palm Beach hats are. True, the snow may be flying when they are fashioned, packed and worn. But the lines they take and the materials they employ lead the Easter fashion parade. Many are asking if the big hat will retain its popularity of last season. My answer is that no small hat on earth can come anywhere near its grace and dignity. But, personally, I think the small hat’s convenience will win out with women. spring hats will augment the lines for winter. The ear-tab hairline felt will lack its counterpart in straw. Straw seems to call for some suggestion of a brim, even if it is only a ribbon one. Asa link between winter and spring, a compromise between wear for the northern winds and the southern sunshine, the travel hats do not gradually dash into summer materials. Rather they skillfully suggest happy unions between felts and straws.

Van de View Sees the College Girls to Their Train

For afternoon formal wear is this long-sleeved frock of bronze-tinted metal lace.

in combination with the peacock silhouette that gives this graceful model such charm. Its femininity is accented by this scarf, which falls over the shoulders protectingly, fashioning sleeves for the frock.

Gold and bronze tinted feathers work a novelty applique across the front of the new, higher crown of this tawny Bankok.

A huge Milan straw purple hat, for instance, has a soft violet georgette lining and a stockingette crown in three shades of fuschia. Its banding is of velvet, to increase the feeling of more warmth. While hallybuntl and woven maatrials of last year continue modish, some new weaves of straw include chouquette, a loose and pliable weave; yedda, a shiny straw, and gold and wool weaves. As for colors, greens, tawny browns, and all the purply-red shades are good. Softening Effect Felt and chouquette, in a peacock blue-green, fashion one of the smartest of the new mid-season hats. Its brim is hardly more than a suggestion of one, yet that little rolling bit of grace does much to soften a woman’s features and bring out her beauty. The crown has a self-toned wing of fine felt appliqued on at an interesting angle, from the back to the front side. Subtle ornamentations of this type are to supplant the universal use of jeweled pins on hats, whether or no they are in feeling with the style and material of the hat itself. Grosgrain ribbon bands and binds this dainty first sign of spring. Tawny brown, with golds and

Miss Roster Is Bride of Carl Noblet Tire marriage of Miss Katherine M. Koster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Koster, 3251 N. Illinois St., and Eber Carl Noblet took place at 8 p. m. Saturday at the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church with Dr. J. Ambrose Dunkel officiating. Palms, ferns and cathedral candles were used in the decorations. Preceding the ceremony, Paul Mathews, organist, played the following program of bridal music: “Indian Love Call,” “I Love You Truly,” “O Promise Me,” and “To a Wild Rose.” Mrs. Olive Rogers Silles sang. John Noblet, brother of the bridegroom, was best man and the ushers were Albert O. Evans, Fred Koster, brother of the bride. Attended by Aunt Mrs. Oscar H. Koster, aunt of the bride, who was matron of honor, wore green georgette trimmed in silver with silver slippers to match. She carried butterfly roses. Two sisters of the bride, Mrs. Clarence Cones and Miss Helen Koster, w’ere bridesmaids. Mrs. Cones wore orchid taffeta trimmed in silver lace and Miss Koster wore pink taffeta trimmed in silver ribbon. Both wore silver slippers and carried bouquets of deep pink roses. Bride Wears Satin The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of bridal satin arranged with tulle. Her tulle veil was caught with a band of orange blossoms and pearls. She carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses. Following the ceremony the couple received at the church. They left immediately on a trip South and will be at home after Jan. 15 at 3251 N. Illinois St. The bride traveled in a dark blue georgette dress with tan coat trimmed in beaver, and tan accessories to match.

bronzes glinting in its feathered ornamentation, the Bankok straw shown today has a graceful simplicity welcome to the well-dressed woman. Its crown is a bit higher than the soft-woven straws and its slightly rolling brim continues smartly across the back. Appliqued Feathers New and very interesting, is the “feather embroidery” which fancily stripes the front. In reality this is appliqued feather tips, an admirable softening influence for a straw as formally rigid as Bankok. The shape, color, straw and ornamentation of this hat are all noteworthy because, while they do not seem to dissimilar to last season’s, have that indefinable difference that marks the hat as chicly new and likely to be a forerunner of many spring models. To Wed in June The engagement of Miss Edrie Mildred Fresler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Presler, Aurora, and Donald C. Hazlett, son of Mrs. Gertrude Hazlett, Russellville, has been announced. The wedding will take place in June when both will be graduated from the University of Illinois.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY tt tt tt TWO CHIEF CAUSES OF HALITOSIS

BY ANN ALYSIS Halitosis, we are told, means bad breath. Rather an unpleasant subject, yet one that we must consider if we wish to be immaculate. Offensive body odors suggestion unclean habits, though uncleanliness may not be the cause. It may be that the afflicted person simply does not know the proper corrective measures. In the case of an unpleasant breath, the first step toward correction is to determine the cause. There are two people who can help you to do this, the physician and the dentist. Consult them. Halitosis is often the result of mouth, teeth or throat trouble, but not always is this the case. Sometimes digestive disturbances, or disease in other parts of the body, is responsible for this annoying condition. Should the cause prove to be decayed or neglected teeth, diseased mouth or tonsils, your physician or dentist will advise you how to proceed. Common sense will tell you to brush your teeth after each meal so as to remove all particles of food from them, and for the purpose of freeing the mouth of harmful bacteria a good antiseptic mouth warh should be used. If your physician has diagnosed your trouble as involving/ any of the internal organs, follow his advice in the matter.

Family Menus

BY SISTER MARY BREAKFAST—Northern spy apples, cereal, cream, baked French toast, milk, coffee. LUNCHEON—Surprise p<J^toe^ hearts of lettuce with French ing, canned strawberries, brownies, milk, tea. DlNNEß—Breaded veal cßlr with tomato sauce, canned potatoes, beet and celery salaarrice and cranberry pudding, milk, coffee. The surprise potatoes suggested in the luncheon menu would be nice to serve in your luncheon bridge club. Particularly if a “one-plate” luncheon is the custom. Too often the various concoctions served on one plate t eem to spread and everything gets more or less mixed up. Surprise Potatoes Four potatoes of uniform size, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 slice onion, 2 tablespoons flour, ’i teaspoon salt, IVs cups milk, 1 can crab meat, paprika. Bake potatoes until soft. Cut a cross on flat side of each potato and fold back the skin. Scoop out inside and put hrough a ricer. Season with salt and pepper and fill potato shells about one-third full. Melt butter with onion, slice and let stand fifteen minutes. Remove onion and stir in flour. Cook and stir over a low fire for three minutes. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Add salt and paprika and bring to the boiling point. Add crab meat and keep hot over hot water while preparing the potato cases. Fill cases with creamed fish, cover with riced potato and pull corners up toward center. Drop a bit of butter on top of each potato and slice in a very hot oven to melt and brown potato. The potato should be piled up in the cases.
