Man Promising Reform to Girl Often Forgets ■ as Easily as He Spoke BY MARTHA LEE SOMETIMES a young man will have enough love for a girl to change a fault or bad habit of his. Many times, however, a young man will promise easily anything the girl asks, but just as easily as he promised he will break his word. When a girl or woman falls in love, generally she would rather have this man whom she loves for a husband with all his faults than to give him up entirely when he fails to eradicate

these flaws in his character. My advice, therefore, will probably be what these girls in this situation will not want to follow. Eliminating all the peccadillos of a man that are not worth considering when a girl really is in love, we have left larger vices such as drinking and gambling. No girl of intelligence' will marry a man with these faults, which he probably has failed to stop in pite of his promises, because she will have foresight enough to realize that these bring only unhappiness. Remember also, readers, that a man who has honor will not break his word. A promise is one of the most sacred things we have. No girl has reason to place her confidence in a man who consistently fails to keep his promises. Dear Martha Lee: I &:n engaged to a hoy 21. He says he loves me and would do anything tor me. , However. I have asked him and he has promised me time and again not to gamble and drtni; and to stay home once In awhile, but lie alsvavs fails to do so. I have met another boy somewhat older, but he has not a serious thought In his head. He seems to like me and tries to make dates with me. I like him. too. Should I be wise to turn down the first bov for the second? I love the first bov. but I realise that I should never be happy tor long with him. BETTIE LOU. Dear Betty Lou: You are right In your realization that you could never be happy with a young man with these faults. Since he has failed to keep his promises, he has proved that he cares more for the small pleasure these vices afford than for your love. Really, Betty Lou, it is not necessary to settle down with one young man all the time. I really do not think this second boy suits you, so why must you start an affair with him? Have dates with him, but look around some more before you make your final decision as to the one you want to marry. Jealous Husband: You have become cynical just because one woman failed to live up to your expectations of a wife. You seem to be a very emotional person from your letter. Perhaps your nervousness and excitability were responsible to a large degree for the breaking up of your home. There is nothing for you to do now except discipline your emotions so that if you do meet another woman whom you would like to marry you will be better fitted to make her a successful husband.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY u M a A STANDARD FOR PRETTY BROWS

BY ANN ALYSIS By a feminine standard the most admired eyebrows are those which are dark in color, somewhat arched and delicately penciled. Delicately arched and penciled eyebrows would certainly not be In harmony with accepted types of masculine beauty. But for women, it is the ideal thing, particularly if the face be modeled along the oval lines which artists love to paint. In correcting faulty shape of the brows, carefully consider them to correspond with the features. Be careful about the arch, remembering that if it is too high it gives the face a look of permanent surprise that is ludicrous, to say the least. Many women shave the brows to the desired shape. This is a simple and a good method, its one drawback being the lighter tint of the denuded skin in contrast to the color of the rest of the face. Plucking the extra hair with tweezers is a good method of correction It sometimes causes slight irritation of the skin, but this may be easily alleviated by applying a little zinc oxide ointment or a bland cream of your choice. Electrolysis is the one and only permanent method of removing unwanted eyebrow hairs. And even this much-advertised operation is often unsuccessful. Sometimes the electric needle fails to make contact with the root, making it necessary to repeat the operation. Avalon Luncheon Bridge Women of the Avalon Country Club entertained with a luncheon bridge at the Marott this afternoon. Covers were laid for ninety. Mrs. H. H.

Woman s Day

By ALLENE SUMNER Mrs. Gracie Jones of Ponca City, Okla., asked someone to take her baby son Bobby off her hands so she could continue her "career” and her tour of the country. Now the Joneses are swamped by hundredof thousands of applications for Bobby. Hundreds of women who are employed write that they will give up their jobs in a minute if they can only have Bobby. And yet despite this evidence of the far greater number of women who want to make their lives re'solve about home and children the press and pulpit will continue toi make Mrs Gracie Jones symbolic <sf all “these new women." n n n Love of Pola Must be awful to be so beautiful and famous that men constantly kill themselves because of unreciprocated loves for oneself. The latest Pola Negri story, for instance, concerns the proposed deportation of a supposed dangerous man who is said to have threatened to kill the beauteous Pola because of his devotion to her. Let’s see, this is about the twelfth man who is supposed to have been desperate About Pola, isn’t it? And do you remember how Pola was photographed swooning over the bier of Rudolph Valentino, to whom she was engaged? No. I don’t mean anything special. Just figure it our for yourself. n n n Country Kids Children who grow up in the ! country and are educated in the old-fashioned “little red school house” are mentally inferior to city children, according to Dr. Bird Baldwin of the State University of lowa. He says that whereas country babies are smarter than city babies, they begin to lag behind as soon as they go to school. Here’s wagering that this will send parents swarming from the farms and into the cities, for while it’s one thing to endure the economic hardship for self which most farmers have endured ever since war days, it is quite another thing to hear that the future of one’s children is not so bright. n an Get on Your Nerves? What things “get on your nerves” more than anything else? Here’s a chance to express yourself. Even scientists are interested in what they mildly call "annoyances,” for no little discussion was given at the recent convention of the American Psychological Association to a collection of some 2,500 annoyances which one of their members had collected. n an Main Ones He listed as major annoyances discovered by questioning hundreds of people—hearing and seeing people chew gum, hearing a woman swear, finding that someone to whom one is talking is not listening, hearing someone read the motion picture captions aloud. He found that both old and young people are annoyed by about the same things, but that men and women are annoyed by different things. Both men and women were most annoyed by other women. non My List My list would include the'' woman who slaps you on the back; the man who shakes hands till your rings cut; the movie talkers, of course; the man at the lunch counter who “chins” with the waitress so one can get no service; people who get one on the telephone by mistake and get mad, because they have the wrong number. Luncheon Bridge Mrs. Charles J. Murphy, 1305 N. Alabama St., entertained with a luncheon bridge.party at the Marott today for members of her bridge club.

SPRING MODE BLOSSOMS

% i uii Hi;

Mrs. Richard Croker—Louise Van Alen

By BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer PALM BEACH. Fla., Feb. 2. Even a fine memory seems to have forgotten how gorgeously white Palm Beach sands are, how blue the sea and smilingly hospitable the skies—until one returns! And what gorgeously beautiful clothes abound! It’s the same each year, at Palm Beach. Everyone predicts this or that type of costume, and several or many beautiful pastel or vivid shades that will undoubtedly be the most popular. Then, when you really get here, white’s the color and the sports frock's the thing for the runabout daytime costume. Must Be Vivid All touches and colored costumes simply must be vivid, for where could soft colors get you in this penetrating sunshine? The first person l saw in white was Mrs. Milton Holden (Fifi Widener) looking her ultra-best in a white taffeta and wool ensemble, a flaring cape wrap of wool, white-taffeta lined, and coming about three-quarters down her skirt. I met Mrs. Richard Croker sauntering along in that leisurely fashion that this blessed place suggests, sponsoring a stunning white outfit with the coat of kasha trimmed with soft white fox. Her sports dress was a one-piece, pleated skirt type, with a conventional V neck and turned back cuffs button trimmed. Her shoes were of white kid and her hat a French felt, with one of the new gentle brims suggesting spring. It had a front‘ornament of grosgrain ribbon and a simple banding. • White Golf Costume Mrs. Gail G. Grant played golf the other day in white, with a black, white checked smart jacket over it for swank and a bit of early morning warmth. Mrs. Reginald Hiscoe wore a square-necked yellow and white checked cardigan with a white skirt. I saw her again in a red pleated skirt, red andwhite broad-banded blouse and a white, three-quarter coat topping it. Anew idea—the contrast of da r k skirt and white coat. Louise Van Alen shopped the other morning in a smart sports frock, typical of Palm Beach. It was a soft silver gray, in the ever popular Angora jersey material, banded in continental blue for contrast and trimmed with self tucks and self pleats. A novel doubledecker effect of tucks and banding was achieved around the bottom of the jumper and the lower part of the sleeves. Her small hat was of matching blue. So were her sports shoes—a two-eyelet oxford, sidelaced. And at Evening! But I must not give the impression that Palm Beach speeds its life in sports frocks—only. Evenings see a riot of color, styles, beauty that makes one’s eyes bulge. Such gowns! For satin’s sponsors, none could have been smarter than Mrs. C.

Style Show for Children Depicts Edicts of Paris Bu I nilrd Press NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Children of from 2 to 16 years became mannikins at a juvenile style show here and before a group of admiring adults depicted the latest fashion effects. One of the smartest outfits was worn by a young man of 6 who was attired in a knitted sweater, black velvet trousers and a velvet beret. A siren of 7, blonde curls hanging, drew applause when she paraded in a two-piece frock, the skirt portion of pleated crepe de chine and the bodice of printed silk. Spring styles for the young ones closely copied those of big sisters. There were ensembles, cape effects, the scarf collar, the new straight silhouette and even printed pajama*. Yes, and short skirts that permitted knees to show. Paris had sponsored for debutantes a full bloused bodice and the children’s show found its replica in a pert party frock of Nile green crepe de chine. A 5-year-old, exhibiting the garment, was immensely proud of the pleated skirt and tiny lace ruffles. Mother’s Club Chi Rho Zeta Mothers' Club will meet for luncheon Friday at the fraternity house, 15 N. Hawthorne Lane.

Three Speak at Meeting of Mothers “Meeting Present Day Needs in the Social Life of Youth.” was the subject of F. O. Belzer, Boy Scout leader, before the Mothers’ Round Table of the Woman's Department Club this afternoon. Mrs. S. R. Miles spoke on “Character Training in the Home,” and Mrs. Charles E. Rush of the Girl Scouts talked on “Scout Work.” Mr. Belzer discussed the change in the social appeals to adolescent youth; methods of dress, theater, automobiles and the appeal of these things to the interest and enthusiasm of youth. “For that reason,” he said, “organizations tending to occupy the time of youth, must keep pace with the desires of youth with the same strength as other appeals which may be good or bad. Athletics, music, art, nature study and the outdoors, must be presented in such a way that it satisfies the youth’s love for adventure and social contacts and gives a wholesome atmosphere.” HIGH SCHOOL~(QUEST lON LEFT WITH COMMITTEE The question of an east side high school which has been discussed at several meetings of the Irvington Council of the Union of Clubs, was referred back to the high school fiommittee of the council at a mectng Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Francis Payne, 5345 University Ave. The committee is composed of Mrs. Robert.
