‘Will He or She Wait?’ Is Question on Marriage Impossible to Answer BY MARTHA LEE YOUTH many times is faced with the problem of waiting. Occasionally a young reader will write me, wistfully asking if a sweetheart will be willing to wait for him while he completes his schooling or during the time he goes away to get his start in the business world. It is a hard problem for me to answer. Sometimes these sweethearts are willing to wait, but many times waiting be-

comes irksome and some other attractive person will come along and the first beau is forgotten. It is just the “breaks” of the game called love. However, if there really is a true feeling of love on the girl’s part she will be content to wait. Any girl knows that the thrill of possessing the one she loves is well worth the dreary time she spends apart from him. Perhaps separation is a good way of finding out whether it is merely infatuation or real love that binds two young persons together. It is an experiment that absolutely, coldbloodedly decides the question one way or another. Dear Martha Lee: There is a girl. 17. whom I love and she loves me. I am 19. Miss Lee. this girl’s mother is ill and she may have to go home. If she leaves. I don't know what I shall do for I have a good chance to join the navy. If I do that I won’t ever get to see her again, 1 Miss S Lee. I want you to tell me what to do. Should I go away or wait for her to come back? I hope her mother gets well right away so she won’t have to leave. Please tell me which course to follow, navy or wait? , MARK D. Dear Mark D.: You, my dear boy, are crossing your bridges before you come to them. Perhaps this girl’s mother’s health will not necessitate her leaving the city. If she does, the only way for you to decide this problem is for you to answer the question as to whether or not this opportunity regarding your joining the navy will come again. If your future depends on this, you had better take your chance while you can. Do not forget, Mark, that two persons as young as you and this girl generally have many beaux and sweethearts before they settle down to married life. Another thing, if this girl really finds out she loves you, she will wait for you if, you write to her and show her that you love her, too.

Dear Miss Lee: I am a high school girl and am a blue-eyed blonde. I have a great many girl and boy friends. I have a date every night in the week Now. Miss Lee. do you thing it is wrong tor me to have dates in this way? . I have three dates a week at home and in order to keep mv parents from knowing of the other dates, I make dates for my girl friends and wc all go out riding or I go to one of the girl’s nomc. Pleasa tell me. what do you think ° E ™ BLONDE . Dear Blue Eyed Blonde: You are making a grave mistake to spend so much of your time having dates. From your letter I can see you have so much to learn in the educational line that you would be a much smarter young woman if you would spend most of your evenings studying your lessons instead of riding around. Remember, my dear, that the mere fact that you have blue eyes and blonde hair and rate many dates will not help you to earn any money after you leave school, if you can not spell and make such an illiterate mistake as dotting the pronoun “I.” Please take this little sermon to heart. I know you want to do what is right and I also know that down deep in you, you really know that you are doing wrong by deceiving your parents. ROTARIANS HEAR MRS . GRE ENOUGH Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, first vice president of the Indiana League of Women Voters, spoke at a noon luncheon of the Rotary Club of Jackson, Mich., today on “High Ground in Political Activity.” The program for the meeting was in charge of the Jackson League of Women Voters.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ tt tt u THEIR LETTERS

BY RI’TH DEWEY GROVES Marye, dearest: Well, of course, you know what I think about a woman smoking, but maybe it s just that I can’t get used to it. I don’t know, but it always gives me an uneasy feeling to see any woman with a cigaret in her mouth. I can’t help suspecting that she’s a little fast. I think that’s how men who don’t like it feel, too. And you can’t blame a man for objecting to seeing nice girls do something he associates with the other kind. I suppose there are men who object to it because they say it’s a man’s privilege. Now that would have annoyed a young woman even in my day, Marye dear, because women never did like men to assume exclusive privileges. Only they didn’t come out in the open and fight about it as you girls do today. But be sure you know why men don’t like it before you jump on them. And, remember, too, if you strike at a man’s belief that he is lord of all creation, you are trying to take away a prop he has leaned on for ages. For my part, I think it would be a pitiful sight to see a man pulled down like that. It seems to me that women want to climb right up over men, climb a pedestal and do the crowing for a while. That may be fair, but you’re in such a hurry about it you won’t give the poor things a chance to get out of the way. So when you get to the top you will have to look down at a world of men who have lost their self-confidence. It took a long time for the relations between men and women to reach the present state, and now women want to change it all overnight. We had plenty of time to get used to a man’s world, but the modern woman wants to make it a woman’s world all in a day. Please be careful how you handle Alan, Marye, my girl, because for all our wanting to stand on our own feet—and don’t think that’s an original idea with women—some of us who are older and wiser realize that we can’t change so much in one generation. Some people say we really are drifting toward a woman’s ' world. Well, I hope we don’t reach it before we’re ready for it. And there’s still one woman who blesses our Lord she has a staunch-hearted husband to lean on In times of trouble. With all my love, MOM. Bridge Section Mrs. Frederick C. Albershardt and Miss Jean Coval entertained their section of the Kappa sorority bridge tournament Tuesday evening at Miss Coval’s home, 3614 Fall Creek Blvd. Miss Coval, her mother, Mrs. William N.

SPRING TAILORS WOOLEN STREET DRESS l

\ %

One godet, two puff sleeve* and many bone buttons individualize this Um homespun frock.

BY HENRI BENDEL NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Feb. 29.—American women are accepting and are charmed by feminine frills and furbelows for afternoon and evening wear. But they are demanding and getting tailored models for their runabout frocks for street wear until tea-time. The reason behind this preference is that American women are essentially active. Moreover many of them work—either at a vocation or avocation. They have not the tradition of long lounging hours behind them that makes the French women always take more kindly to softness of lines and frills. So I find myself making quite neatly tailored one-piece frocks for early spring wear—for those first days that the coat is shed. They are all woolens, incidentally.

Van de View Goes Skiing His First Day in Canada

Then he sees another sliding so apparently at case, With a scarf that makes a lovely patch of color in the breeze, That he wishes he could muster up a nickel’s worth of pluck And begin to be a sport himself and try his skiing luck.

Youth is expressed in the lines of a light green sheer flanneL

This is a departure, for in the past few years women have worn suits or silk dresses. But woolens have yielded to the demand for sheer, soft beauty. Some of the spring homespuns are as featherweight as Iceland wool sweaters; some of the tweeds as soft and pliable as satinbacked crepe; wool georgette is nearly as sheer as silk. Spring models of runabout frocks favor the one-piece mode; they introduce new' collar ideas; their sleeves are apt to be quite individual and different and all skirts show some reasonable width for easy walking—whether it comes from pleats, godets or plain gathers. For colors, gray is exceedingly good. Blues, as usual, come forth for spring, but the preference for blues comes in off-shades, either in gray-blue or one with a purply tone. Tans and browns have Exceptional beauty in their soft richness this year. But it looks as if green will be one of the favorites. I show today three new runabout models. In the first one, by using diagonal strips of tan homespun and slanting them upwards in the body of the waist, an unusually decorative style is created without a bit of trimming of any kind. A godet insert on one side, with large bone buttons carrying out the one-sided effect gives individuality to this frock. But its chief claim to real distinction lies in its sleeves, introducing the old-time puff, in a modified form, falling gracefully over buttoned cuffs. The collarless neckline flares wide on the shoulders, a distinctly 1928 spring touch. A fur piece and a crocheted straw toque with a dark browm feather ornament add smartness. Pale green, in anew sheer, silky

Geometric lines make a blue kashine tweed as modern as it is charming.

flannel, gives the effect of a jacket suit in the second model, with cute metal ball buttons straightening its diagonal closing. A band of a darker shade of green on its hem and cuffs is the oftly touch of decoration. This is a Germaine creation and the rolling collar that stands fairly high in the back of the neck is really a concession to American women’s demand for tailored effects. For Paris really prefers frills this season. A severely tailored costume that shows a modernistic note is shown in the blue kashine tweed. Here in the flare of the collar, in the dip of the yoke and the rounding of the front skirt yoke we see the geometric design influence. Clever, simple and charming is this interprettion of the modern trend. This frock has no back\collar—just the front flaring revers. The sleeves are one-button and a simple belt of self material extends around a low waistline. An appropriate hat is shown in a smart new lowslung model of red and grey velvet, a Reboux design.
