Sixteen Too Young for Dates Except for Few Parties With Box Escort By MARTHA LEE lI.LW E had several letters from very young girls lately asking whether or not I believe them too young to have dates and it so why, and if not, how often they should be allowed to go out with boys. 1 hope to answer all queries in this article and by publishing one letter. Another important point seems to be over the question of “steady'’ dating.

hirst of all 1 think that girls ir-v r sixteen are too young to have dales. This does not mean that it isn't all right for them to so to an occasional party with a boy of the same age or only slightly older. But to have dates as the word is usually accepted is not in good taste and reflects on the parents of the girl. As for going with one boy to the exclusion of all others, I thimt that it is a great mistake in girls in their teens and early twenties and 1 regard it as utter folly in younger girls. If they could only lealizc how short a time they have to be happy and carefree before they are tied down with the many responsibilities of marriage, I believe that they would keep free of all '‘entangling alliances”-—adopt a sort of personal Monroe Doctrine in legard to the boys. Propinquity is a great factor in developing love. Many youthful marriages that fail grievously are the direct result of steady dating over a period of months or years. It is far better to go about with different young men until one's mind is made up about the sort one wants. Someone said very truly that there can be no love without comparison. In small towns when girls start having aates early I snoulcl say that two aates a week is a great plenty—and those on Friday and Saturday nights. In all cases I think the matter should be governed by the parents’ wishes. My Dear Miss Leo: Do you think it is wrong for a girl of 14 years to date? If so why? Oh yes, this certain girl of 14 could pass for 17 or over any day. If her mother won’t let her have dates, the fellows don't understand. They think she just doesn't care for a good time. It certainly wouldn't do to tell them it was because of her age. If you think she should have dates, how late should she be permitted, to stay outb Thanking vou just loads. MADGE. Dear Madge: I have answered your questions partially above. However, if your are deceiving the boys about your age I should advise you to change your tactics at once. Tell them the truth and you will find that they will like you just as well. When you can’t go places they will understand much better if they know how young you are. If you I’.cn’t do this, you will find yourself entangled in an endless mess of petty lies and you will make your parents appear tyrants. You should not stay out after 10:30.

Woman s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER | Time was when Sylvia Pankhurst | was quite content with the fame j she gained by smashing windows; i hunger-striking, and doing all the [ tricks in the militant suffragette’s 1 bag. But that cause was finished ! some time ago. Evidently Sylviia is about ready . for ano.hcr cause, for she introduced her baby son to photogra- ; pliers and reporters to whom she calmly announced that the baby 1 was produced without benefit of I clergy, that she didn’t consider mar- | riage a subject of legal contract, and | that “my union with my husband is entirely free.” She would not to 1 her "husband’s’’ identity. an r “Love Baby” Epidemic Miss Pankhurst‘s “eugenic baby” is the second publicly noted case recently. What Sylvia is to Britain Mrs. Louise Burnham, well-to-do society woman, was to New York. Both women merely put into execution the old slogan of “the right of every woman to at least one child and no questions asked.” The rapidity with which our social laws and traditions are changing indicates that Miss Pankhurst may not be so far wrong when she says, “I believe that the tendency of the future is in this direction, and that posterity will see nothing remarkable in my decision.’ How About It? The social stigma on illegitimacy came about, of course, in an attempt to protect both mother and child • It was the natural viewpoint of an age when women were not self-supporting. Most of the arguments supporting this attitude of the outrageousness of producing illegitimate children are supposed to be rather weak when up against the fact that women arc self-sup-porting nowadays. But personally it’s hard to quite see how even a self-supporting woman is going to continue to be self-supporting if she has a child. Methinks the plain old-fashioned attitude works the most good for the greatest numbers. One notes that most of the lady producers of “eugenical love babies” are ladies who don’t need to worry about finances. n tt a Just a Sample The demands of a baby are so unexpected. Babies have such a naive habit of even making theiifirst bow to a waiting world during such catastrophes as fires, floods and earthquakes. For instance a little girl was named Bernice out in Two Rivers, Wis., the other day because she was born while her parents’ house was afire and firemen were chopping holes in the roof. It’s things like this that make us believe it might be hard for just a woman alone to have and care, f° r a baby, no matter how keenly she felt her right to one, if she wanted it, under any circumstances. COUNCTI COMMITTEES APPOINTED AT MEET Mrs. Elijah Jordan, chairman of the council of the Irvington Union of Clubs, appointed new committees at the last business meeting of the year Wednesday with Mrs. Robert Hall, 129 Downey Ave. The committee for the Irvington tulip shownext month is: Mesdames Jennie Jeffries, Clarence Hughel, E.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ ana THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Morn, sweet; You don't know it, but you think like some modernistic artists paint their pictures—all solid blocks. Everything is either right or wrong with you. And there's ore thing about us girls of the moment that you don't grasp at all. We're regular emotional barometers. We can tell way beforehand what is on a fellow's mind. Nothing happened at the dance. Florence didn't let ijt. She lied the situation will in hand after the first dance with Pedro's friend. She ought to have some credit for not risking the opportunities he'd have in a second whirl to show her what he thought of us. Pedro asked me not to call him Senor Alvarado, and I did feel as though I was addressing an ambassador, so I selected Pedro as his most attractive moniker. We had a dance or two while Florence and her flat tire sipped pale yellow t:a. Don’t ask me about those dances! There's no describing that man's marvelous grace. The only thing that kept my feet out of the clouds where my head was floating around was Pedro's perfume. It was good enough, but I couldn't get over a funny desire to sniff. I know that any one who isn't provincial never sets standards for other people in such matters as the use of perfume, but I can’t overcome a distinct little shock whenever I get near Pedro. Fancy Allan smelling like a flower! But then I don't know that it wouldn’t be better than reeking of cmoke-filJed tweeds when you get used to it. I hope that liking Pedro's ways won't be a first step toward bad taste, because he’s one fascinating hombre. Devotedly, MAR YE. Inter Nos Club Elects Mrs. Harry E. Wood was re-elected president of the Inter Nos Club at a meeting Wednesday with Miss Elizabeth Scott, 5881 Julian Ave. 11. W. Haworth, recording secretary and Mfs. P B.
