BY BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, April 21.—Fair and warmer days certainly bring out fairer and cooler costumes. A brilliant Easter and balmy days following have made the sidewalks of old Gotham look like a perpetual fashion show. A few smart certainties loomed on the style horizon on Easter that following days have “yes-yessed.” There’s the authenticity of summer furs; the emphatic chic of polka dots; the double choice hats have of selecting unique crowns or wide brims; and above all the law of contrast which seemingly attracts smartness this season. Taking the last first, everybody on Easter Sunday had some note of contrast—a hat darker than the frock, a blouse lighter, shoes and other accessories flamingly contrasting or something. Quite in reverse gear from winter’s “match

Genevieve Clcndenin

a black silk ensemble with a purple hat and for a foundation of style wore matching purple kid pumps. Mrs. S. Barry Shenk favored a red ballibuntl and red buttoniere with her shell-pink broadcloth ensemble. A lavishly fur-trimmed summer coat was sponsored by Mrs. Van Devanter Crisp for Easter. Her beige coat had a stole of orchid tiered summer ermine that made a cute cape-collar back. Her hat of orchid pica straw had a fascinating brim—one side of the straw, the other of violets arranged to give a flare. Stripes and Dots The cutest and most feminine I polka dot costume was worn by j Susan Moore. White dots red for the pleated skirt and hip-length coat and red dots white for the blouse that has four rows of gathers right up the front to the collarless neckline—a novel, chic touch. Flat bows of red velvet emphasized the V-neck and the waistline. Stripes vie with dots, dashes and prints in new styles. The eversmartness of the black-white mode was emphasized when Genevieve Clendenin strolled down Park Ave. in a stunning black hat crepe ensemble, with striped blouse of chic chiffon. The cutest little fringe edged the jacket, its sash, and the full skirt. She wore black fox for her neckpiece. Blues—All Tones A flair for decoration is noticed in many of the smartest of the separate coats this season. Frances Ottley’s Easter coat had elaborate cutwork through the body and sleeves—several tones of blue, all soft so they lived in peace with each other. She wore a smart little felt hat in the lighter tone of blue with a little straw banding and tailored bow. Light blues are very good with the younger smart set. Lois Clarke had quite a bright blue kasha ensemble on last Sunday afternoon at the Piping Rock Country Club. Marion Van Ranssler had on a coiffure cap of blue feathers. Mrs. W. J. Sloane wore a stunning clear blue cape wrap and silver fox scarf to Pierre’s recently. Wear Real Flowers Odd jewelry seems to catch the imagination of many smart women now. Mrs. Frank C. Henderson has some unique bracelets that she wears above her two-button gloves. At the Hotel des Artistes recently Mrs. Harry Dart was scintillating in a sumptuous silver tissue gown with Chanel crystal jewelry. Mrs. Wallace Irvin dangled diamond earrings in a most fascinating elongated setting. Merriam Bradley wears an antique gold choker of curiously wrought pattern. The fresh flowers that everyone wore Easter Sunday indicate the trend towards wearing real flowers or some very original kind of artificial one. Gold and silver flowers in elaborately lacy patterns are appearing for evening wear quite often. Mary D. Strange wore one of each at the last Jinks party, with the loveliest of filmy gowns. It was willowy green and gold chiffon covered with crystal and silver beads in a delicate pattern. Hear African Talk The mothers Club of Alpha Chi Omega, Butler University, will hold guest day Friday at the home of Mrs. W. C. Richter, 432 Buckingham Dr. Mrs. G. C.

Van de View Is Still Avoiding the Ladies

Entertaining too he finds it and forgets his cup of tea, Which is something of an oversight for such a one as he. . But the hanger with the rabbits is engrossing him completely, And the froggie with the clock who grins at him so very sweetly.

Freedom of Love, Child Theory Errs BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON The papers tell us that Sylvia; Pankhurst finds her love child some- : thing of a problem. Many less prominent women have faced the same dilemma. Miss Pankhurst laughingly asked a newspaper correspondent whether he did not think she was "awfully silly.” Probably the young man, being courteous, made some evasive reply. Many of his readers, however, will agree heartily with the affirmative. She was silly. Any woman is silly who believes that she can flout the conventions. Any woman is silly who believes that the chief problem of a child is the bearing of it. Any woman is silly who thinks that because she is prominent and learned she can scoff at customs even they be only man made. Tightens Shackles Sylvia Pankhurst, who is 46 and old enough to kn@w better, announces that by her action she hopes to free the shackles from her country-women. Instead she will make life harder and more complicated for thousands of them. The state of wedlock is no prison for any woman. Instead it is a refuge without which we would be in a very pitiable state. It gives protection to the mother and the child. It is the only way man has found to assure the proper care and rearing of the infant.

Frances Ottley

This Is Freedom Women were free back in the stone age. Free, as Miss Pankhurst seems to wish them to be. They were free when the Huns swept over Europe. They will be free again when women are foolish and short sighted enough to tear down the only protection they have ever had, a protection that has been centuries in the building. And when they are free like that, we must remember that the men will also be free. Free to do as they please, free to leave a woman when they tire of her, free to neglect their offspring, free to withdraw any sort of protection from our sex and from the children of the race. If this be freedom, then Heaven grant us shackles. Miss Pankhurst is no better than the poorest little working girl who hides herself and bears her baby in secret. She only has the intelligence and courage and the prominence to stand up before the world and make of her action a virtue instead of an error. But there is a heavy price to pay for freedom. Her son. who is without the lawful protection of a father, has been made a sacrifice for a movement, a cult, that would work us more deadly injury than any bonds.

Correction

Miss Elizabeth Rainey .speaking before the May Wright Sewall Council of Indiana Women this week, was quoted as being in favor of an eight-hour day for women. The statement should have read that Miss Rainey favored basing working laws on requirements of position and not on sex. Miss Rainey believes freedom of contract should be allowed all citiesns, not just men, and that such laws as the eighthour day for women cause an inferiority complex among women workers.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ a tt a THEIR LETTERS

Dearest Marye: I can see that you arc dissatisfied with Alan’s promise of a car to I Florence. My dear, you should not i feel -that way about it. You know | you can’t shut out a man's family —not if he is a worthwhile man. I I don’t suppose you would want to ! do that entirely, but. like most, wives, i you seem to resent the fact that his \ life’is not free of them. I Perhaps that would be an ideal I state—for a selfish person. But one j who is not selfish is certain to realize not a little pleasure from gaining new relationships through marriage. I've heard girls say they’d like to marry a man without a relative in the world. What a lot they would miss. Some of it not agreeable, to be sure. But a man's life is enriched by family connections. If he has grown up from babyhood loving his mother and sisters his heart hasn't had a chance to freeze, and far from having less affection to bestow upon a wife, he has more. Even loving is a bit of a habit, I guess. There are, of course, those men whose love for their mothers is an obsession—one of the things Frank's crowd talks about—but the average man who loves his mother as she deserves is capable of loving a wife more than the man whose whole experience with love is limited to his mate. He will not sec in her the image of his mother and his love might be lacking in the element of reverence. You have a good mother-in-law, Marye dear, and you have much more to thank her for than probably you ever realize. And if Alan would be willing to give up his future in the city to come home and look after her you may be sure he would make an equal sacrifice for you if it were necessary. If it means more to you to live there than here you should be only too glad that Alan can make it possible. And surely it is far easier for you to agree to his spending some money to do it than for his mother to leave her heme to live with Betty. For Clyde will not give up his home. Mother Meredith is welcome there, but he believes that a man should provide his own roof and I think he is right. Alan’s sacrifice of a little money to spare these others a greater sacrifice should make you happy, Marye. Because, you know, there isn’t anything finer he could do with money. Lovingly, MOM.

‘Get Even Spirit One Way to Ruin BY MARTHA LEE The tragedy of a lovely spirit, so crushed by the brutality of another that it contemplates an ugly act In retaliation. There are some things worse than murder. Today I have on my desk a letter from a woman, the mother of four grown children, contemplating an act of infidelity to “get even” with the husband who through his treatment of her has become a repulsive object. What an object lesson! Every husband and every wife ought to be able instantly to recognize why I am printing this letter: Miss Lee: I am a woman 38 years old. I married very youns and my children, are ready to take care of themselves. I wish I could forget my first younq married years. Mv husband drank, gambled, stole money from me and starved the family. He has struck me a few times. Some months ago he was untrue to me. He promptly forgot It. but I did not. Lately he has become one of those men who stare at every girl in sight. I loved him dearly in our early married years, but this one habit of his is making me hate him. Every time I see him looking over a girl he becomes more repulsive to me. I have no faith in him and do not believe a word he says. Wo do not quarrel. My question is this: Should I try to stay in a good home with the children or break it up? I am going out and be untrue to him to pay him back. I have four nice children, keep a clean home and am clean myself. Other men find me attractive. Can you help me? MOLLY S. I can imagine that conditions could become so bad that you would be justified in breaking up your | heme to remove your children from the influence of such a husband, I but things never can become so bad : as to completely justify you, even j in your own heart, for spoiling one : of the beautiful things left to you —the knowledge that you ln,ve kept the faith. ! Don’t do that, Molly S. Dr n’t do 1 it, for the sake of the children, i Don’t do it, for fear of l lie long, stark nights you’d have to spend : with yourself.
