When It’s Question of Marrying Money or Love Let Cupid Make Decision BY MARTHA LEE WAV back in caveman times, I suppose woman then, too, was settling the cpiestion of whether to marry for love or to marry some man who possessed a large collection of fine, shiny clubs that would secure for her a good livelihood. Now the modern woman has to face the same question of choosing between love and a large bank account. Though every girl will say immediately that love will be
(he only factor in her decision as to Avhorn site chooses for a husband, still with modern prices as high as they are, many a girl feels the call of the god Moloch to tempt her into deciding against the dictates of her heart. I can not say too much against the folly of marrying for anything but love. I hear so many stories of unhappy marriages that I should stress constantly that love is the only sure way of making marriage a success. Where there is love, you know, there are the wonderful qualities of tolerance, forgiveness, appreciation and consideration, qualities that are absolutely necessary for the happiness of the husband and wife. . ; Remember girls, that material things are so fleeting. We have them today and tomorrow they are gone. Love remains and though perhaps' I shall be accused of sounding idealistic, after all, love is powerful enough to last through any trouble that may arise later on. Dear Miss Lee: There are two men who have proposed to me and I am forced to make my decision immediately. Though this sound silly. Miss Lee, I do not know which to take though I really love one and merely like the other one. The other one has money and my friends advise me lhat it is just as easy to love a rich man as a poor man. Perhaps it is. but I love this othftr fellow. He is poor. He works for a fairly adequate salary, but I honestly doubt if he ever will be a success. He is the sort that will always "work hard and pay his bills, but his bills will have to be small ones. , _ I am not a frivolous girl and I think 1 can be happy with very little material wealth in spite of what my friends advise. Please give me your opinion on this subject. MAY. Dear May: Constantly I am advising readers to suggest to their ■well-meaning match-making friend that if the friend had to live with some man whose stock she is boosting, she perhaps would be less eager to have him enter matrimony. It is easy enough for one to tell you to marry for money, but that advisor has never known what it is to have to live with a man who means no more to you than a check book. There is no pleasure in buying pretty things if a wife has no love for her husband. She cares little whether or not he likes her new gown when he comes home in the evening. In fact, life itself loses most of its zest if a woman is forced to live with a man she does not love. Take the man you love, May. You will never regret it. Lonesome: My dear, it seems the hardest thing in the world for a young girl to realize that a young man stops going with her most times for the simple reason that he realizes that he does not care for hqr seriously and he has too much manhood to ruin her chances for finding a good husband. There is something about the psychology of girls that they hate to relinquish a former beau. A young man will philosophically pass off an unsuccessful affair and will immediately start looking for anew sweetheart while a girl continues to regain her lost “love.” That is my -advice to you. There are many other young men just as charming as this young man who has stopped coming to see you. Do not write him or try to see him. Let him reopen the friendship if he cares to do so. Anyhow, Lonesome, you said you did not love him, so why worry about it? J. A. S.: I am sorry, but I am too busy to send you a personal reply. I really think you love this young man and you know that most young men say that any girl can get the man she wants if she wants him bad enough, providing, of course, there is a certain amount of attraction between the two. Perhaps that will give you some encouragement.' Yqimg man is very peculiar, you know. Sometimes he will rush a girl “frantically,” as my young friends say, and then suddenly he win leave for a month or more without even a telephone call. Just from your letter, I should say that he will be back to you. He has dated you for a long time and I wager that his dating this other girl is just a temporary affair. Perhaps he wants to see what all kinds of girls are like. Men are curious creatures, J. A. S. Cheer up, and I am sure you will not be disappointed.

SPRING WILL BRING STYLE TO THE HOUSE GOWN

By HENRI BENDEL For ALA Service NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Spring styles this year are more than kindly to the stay-at-home woman. In the costumes that are fashioned for wear in the house we see all the soft, feminine touches that lend such charm to the present modes. In choosing costumes for daytime home wear, a woman likes to drop the severity of the tailored costume and ignore the formality of attire she usuallly chooses to wear on the street or in other homes. Informality is the keynote to the choice most discriminating women make for costumes to play in around home. For morning wear she may choose pajamas or a linen frock or smock in some cheerful hue. From 11 to dinner time her clothes are likely to be the type she can keep on comfortably if friends drop in to lunch or if she entertains a table or two at bridge.

Soft, Feminine Touches That Lend Charm to the Present Mode Will Be Chic Stay-at-Home Women.
A "little dress" of Chinese brocade.
I show today two types of midday frocks for the well-dressed woman, both suitable for wear from 11 to teatime. First is an inovation this season—the Chinese washable brocade frock in light blue, a very popular color this year. Here we see for the first time for spring the new sailor collar combined with jabot revers in front to soften it. Hand-embroidered batiste in the same flower design as the brocade fashions the wide back collar and its white touch is very pleasing and gives a dainty touch which suggests the intimacy of the home. The front revers have handrolled hems. The sleeves of this frock are graceful, long and taper to the wrist, then flare for a modified mitt-cuff. The most feminine touch about this soft, “little dress.” as this type of frock so often is called, is its new silhouette with gored skirt flaring

to the tea-table. The hostess is as charmingly decorative this spring as any one could wish. In selecting a tea-gown to show' today I steered between the most elaborate lacy ones that many women prefer and the sophisticatedly severe ones others choose. This gown, elegant in its richness, beautiful in its simplicity, is a fitting costume for the climax of a sartorially perfect day at home. It is of gold metal cloth aflame with crimson velvet bandings and with a tie sash and frivolously long pointed cuff drapes of crimson. These sleeves are a triumph of the trend towards more and more unusual sleeve treatments. The neckline is the wider shoulder line and an irregular short V. Os course this tea-gown could be worn with any type of slippers but richly brocaded gold ones and a single strand of gold beads are proper accessories.

Feb. 23.—Baseball fans who see need for the scouts! who each year seek out new stars for the diamond, have much in common with modem women demanding variety each month or so in their fashions, in the opinion of a prominent style expert in New York, interview by United Press. “Like the big league ball club magnate who each year sets about to find the player he will star in the stadium, like the financier who scouts for information on stocks and bonds and the diplomat who has his scouts gathering data on the next move on diplomacy’s checkerboard fashions houses must employ many sleuths,” said this New York young womans., a representattive of Tobe, leading New York fashion setter. Each season, in fact all the year round except for the dullest times, according to this authority, the fashion scout is busy. She—it is usually she, although sometimes men may be found in this work—is often found watching the theatregoers at some premiere, somettimes at a fashionable supper club, at Biaarritz, Le Houquet, Palm Beach, Newport or Lido.

MAR YE and ‘MOM’ u n n THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Darling Mother: I could ask you why so many men had indigestion in your day but I won't, because you would write back and declare that they still have it. Then I'd have to tell you that it’s not the food they eat, but the pace they keep. I can't deny that we live fast but I don’t know anyone who wants to slow up just to cure indigestion. I think one reason why people used to be slow is that they were always too stuffed with home cooking to get up any pep. Imagine doing the Charleston after eating three pieces of lemon merringue pie! But I don't see why you object so much to our way of living. You didn't live as your mother or grandmother did. And all we moderns have the same values so no one is hurt. No doubt the Driscolls knew perfectly well why we were entertaining them but what did that matter? It’s a compliment when people spend money on you these days and no one expects a hostess to make a servant of herself. Only I wish I’d brought them home and served ham sandwiches instead, because Mr. Discoll threw Alan down. It was that ridiculous wife of his, I'm sure. I was going to send Betty a luncheon set but now I've got to buy anew pair of slippers with the money. Anyway, I think Alan sends her money on the sly. Naturalty I don’t expect him to tell me what he does with his money but I do think that a man’s family should realize that if. does make a difference when he marries. Alan sent both his sisters through business college, you know and now that Betty is married to a man who’s always out of a job they still seem to think that Alar, ought to send them money. I’d never think of asking Frank for help. I do wish you’d go over to Betty’s and have a talk with her and find out what's the trouble with Clyde. Os course I don't want her to suffer, but Clyde’s her misfortune, not mine, and Alan kicked the other day because I bought an import. It’s a knockout, too, what there is of it, but I guess you wouldn't call it a dress at all. Do go over to Betty’s. With all my love, MARYE.
