Modernity, Slayer of Romance F~ "" By MARTHA LEE "The world Is too much with us” of late for mad romancing. Life is too complicated for it, too busy; and like miracles, I’m inclined to think, that the day of miraculous romance is over. This shouldn’t fall on the sensibilities of present day youth like a harbinger of gloom and pessimism. Far from it. It ought to be a wholesome, even heroic statement of facts in modern life. By some miracle it ought—or is meant to be—a new era of thought to chance readers who may be starving souls for something they never were meant to hunger for, namely: rope-ladders in the moonlight, counts at the candy counter, mad flights from Podunk to Hollywood, irate fathers, weeping mothers, persistent lovers, flights, escapes, and cut-out-of-the-will! These things may happen not any oftener than Sir Gallahad was kicked out of college! Sanity and careful calculation should be the keynote of the newer romance. A boy and girl is lucky these days if they find someone not an addict to old-world romanticism. And that isn’t saying that the situation is not romantic, there’s always an element of romance in chance. Why is it that we suffer no after effects fro mour disiluusions about Santa Claus, and yet our spirits fall when our work-a-day existence forces us to admit that romance is rare? , A girl working at a hosiery counter should think the college boy buying hose for his best girl has trod down the road to romance straight to that store counter! There are so many boys who look sleek and hatless just like the boy buying hose, and all think it highly romantic to write down the name and telephone number of the shy clerk and promise to call. The girl thinks so, too, just what we read about .... Usually the shy hosiery clerks are out of luck; and there is no romance without that. Dear Martha "Lie: I am a girt 18, considered good-looking, and have never been in love that I know of. A week ago a young man came into the store where I sell hosiery. He seemed so embarrassed that I tried to help him all t could. Now. Miss Lee. we got to talking and I found he was buying a present for a girl whom he loves very dearly, and hopes to marry, but she has turned down his proposal. Now, Miss Lee. it has been more than a week since I saw him. and he got my name and telephone number and said he would probably call me. I'm sure he was the nicest boy I've ever met, and I don’t know whether I'm in love with him or not, but I’d certainly like to see him. He told me his name, and I discovered his address through the city directory in our store. Do you think it would be too forward if I should call him up? ALMOST IN LOVE. Yes, I do. Let the matter drop until the customer calls you as he promised. It may be that the situation is one of the luckless ones and therefore not romantic, but dangerous, and a little foolish. Some other nice boy will want some hose one of these fine days. Try your luck.
MARYE and ‘MOM’ U U M THEIR LETTERS
Dear Mom: Enclosed please find a copy of The Evening Telegram, with a picture of me, as big as life, almost, though not quite as natural. Truth compels me to state that art has improved upon nature. The first day of our fashion show, the news photographers came and snapped several of us, wearing our borrowed finery. And the next day the Telegram used only my picture. I suppose it was because the coat was very smart, and photographed well, certainly it was not because my name means very much here socially. But there was quite a little feeling evidenced the next day because my picture was the only one that appeared. One girl fairly wept over it, and another treated me very coldly. On the whole I was rather sorry it happened. It really is loads of fun to have something to do, and modelling seems to be just about my speed. I appear in the country club number, wearing a perfect darling of an ensemble in ibis colored crepe de chine and jersey, and a hat of the same shade. When I have dazzled sufficiently in that, I disappear and return wearing a coat that I am going to try desperately to make my permanent possession. It is one of these very soft, wool affairs in a marvelous beige shade, this is cut in all sorts of intricate ways, but looks perfectly simple and straight when I get it on. In another scene, I wear an evening coat of rose colored velvet, that scoops tightly around my hips, and has one large stole, finished with a huge tassel that is thrown over my shoulder and dangles almost to the floor in the back. ' If I had to fight flesh, along with my other battles, I think I would just give up. Or if I had to live on spinach and lettuce, I’d just as soon be one of the lower animals, and be done with it. A life of sacrifice and abnegation is not for me. However, dieting is the one grand topic of conversation among us models. And I get along very well without any French, or without an idea. It’s quite probable than when Cousin Julia and Miss Evans get me uplifted I shall lead a lonely and solitary life. I’d better have my fun while I am still a moron. I’m sending you a picture of a flat crepe coat that I think would be lovely for you. Those flowing, graceful lines would make you look like a million. I believe it would be easy to copy. More anon. MARYE. Colored Kerchiefs Orange, red, black and blue are some new modernistic kerchiefs that come in sets of three, one each for the head, neck and waistline.

RIGHT FOR THE JUNE BRIDE
Shimmering and radiant is the bride who chooses for her dinner gown the filmy black net model with gleaming gold dots. Right is a burnt-maize trousseau ensemble, with faille frock and cheviot coat.
BY HENRI BENDEL For NEA Servioe NEW YORK, June 16.—The June bride is by no means through with her responsibility when she finally decides on what her wedding gown will be. Selecting just the right outfit for the wedding journey is often quite as hard. And especially this season, when there is such a diversity of styles, materials and colors. I suggest that the bride keep her outfit bridal looking. The old days when bridal couples were pictured as holding hands under a book they pretended to read but held upside down have gone, and with them the possibility that someone might guess that the couple is newly married. Should Be Light Light of color, becoming, and smartly useful are the three requisites that I should name for the going-away outfit. An ensemble is a good choice for summer. If one gets the coat long enough it will suffice for afternoon wear over frocks. The ensemble that combines silk with one of the new featherweight woolens, such as asperic or wool georgette, is perhaps th*' best choice. Around this ensemble a whole outfit can be built. Different frocks, blending with the coat, give variety. And using a sports two-piece suit under it would change it from the dressy to the sportive type. For Sports Wear Especially if one’s honeymoon takes her to the beach will this type of costume prove a wise choice. She can use it as it is for the boardwalk or promenade, change it with a snappy sports suit for the golf links and wear the dress without the coat for bridge on the country club verandah. I show today one in anew color —burnt maize. The two-piece frock is of silk faille, that slinky, shimmering material that has an inherent grace few silks possess. The blouse has a most unusual cut, a pointed yoke on the back and right side of the front and a flaring jabot extending from the front V over a plain left front. It has the same rippling jabots running up the outside of the frock's cuffs. A stitched and buckled belt of the faille holds the fullness into a normal waistline. Mixed Pleats The skirt has the new mixed pleting—a few inches of accordion pleating, two big box pleats, and a few knife pleats, repeated all around. Over this, matching in color, is a summer cheviot coat of the new flaring mode that is cut with raglan sleeves and a Chinese collar. Fine slot seaming gives a beatuifully tailored touch to the cuffs, the front panel, the back and the pockets. It fastens only at the throat, with a silken loop and two buttons. The Reboux hat matches this costume in color and spirit. It is of ballibuntl and has an effective trim of a band and wings of the straw. Second in importance comes the dinner or evening gown. Silk Net and Gold The very newest and perhaps as becoming a medium a trousseau

Royal blue to match the water is a little two-piece suit With a jauntiness of manner none would ever dare dispute, And the Connoiseur would rather see her make a pretty dive Than to wear the crown of any mighty sovereign alive,
frock ever had is the new imported silk net, with a gleaming square dot of gold. Cheruit has fashioned one in which the gold squares are embroidered by hand, in symmetrical fashion to heighten the grace of the downward swooping backline of the mode’s silhouette. Here we see the stylish V-line cut, emphasized and accented. Neckline of the foundation of tulle, of the gown itself, the waistline and all the pert tiers follow in perfect ryhthm that V-line. With this, gold slippers and the sheerest of filmy black chiffon hosiery should be worn.
