Wails of Older Folk About Moral Conditions i Without Basis in Fact BY MARTHA LEE MORAL conditions in America are not becoming worse; people just think they are. “What is this world coming to,” is the Avail of the older generation. In the memorable ivords of Monsieur Cone, “Evei*y day, in every ivay, the Avorld is becoming better and better.” As e\'idence I present a book I just finished reading. “The

Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion. ” The book is one >f the most authentic histories ever published. It was written by a young woman who was considered a member of the Irish landed gentry about the year 1765. It is a true diary of the young woman and was only edited and published recently when it was discovered among some old documents. The girl tells about her love affairs in a frank and disarming manner. She has nothing to conceal because she is writing to “Dear Diary.” Conditions described as seen first hand by this woman are enough to make even the most hardened of us blush. But the history is true. Contemporary writers of that time bear out the girl’s statements. I won’t quote lines from the diary because one has to read the entire book before the atmosphere of the age is realized. In contrast to the picture painted by this diary, the world today has advanced a thousand years in cultural background. And the outstanding thing today is that we may live our own lives. We may do as we please without fear of being balked in our ideals and desires at every turn. And then keep this parting thought in mind: If we keep busy living our own lives we have no time to tell others how to live their lives. Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl 18 years, and I am considered good looking and a e< And B yet r i have one date with a fellow and never have another one. Perhaps that is because I don’t pet, but I think a girl who pets is terrible. ... „ . About a month ago I, met a. fellow ana fell in love with him. although I had had only two dates with him. ... It was different with him. and I didn t mind a little petting. Although I know he likes me, he doesn t call or coqie to see m Please give me a few words of advice on how to win a fellow. Tell me how to develop a personality that ‘^Ij^PLES The development of a personality is a'matter of a lifetime. The sum total of all your actions and thoughts is in you as you are now. You, as you stand today, are a personality. Changing your personality so that it is pleasing is a matter of slow evolution and work. Take an inventory of yourself. Look your faults squarely in the face, and then correct them. If you are prejudiced strongly on some matter, then find out if you really are right about it before getting ‘mad” at someone in an argument. Don’t be a hypocrit. Play square with life. Be charitable. Forgive the wrongs of others, but remember their good deeds. I could write many more rules to follow in changing your personality, but in the final analysis it is your duty to change yourself. Evidently your personality is not pleasing to fellows or they • - ould come to see you more often. Find out what is wrong and then make yourself into anew girl. I am sure petting has nothing to do with popularity.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ u a m THEIR LETTERS

Dear Moni —l’ve been so busy writing to you lately about myself, that I have never told you about the interesting people up at Mme. Elise’s shop* In the first place, Mme. Elsie herself is a character. With no particular background, she has assumed the manners of a duchess, and a French name and a French accent, and the way she has her patrons bluffed is marvelous. But to the people here in the 6hop, she is human, and extraordinarily kind. And the women who cut, and fit, and really carry *>n the work of the place adore her. She is very particular about the girls she allows to be her mannequins, and all of them are really fine girls, who live at home and who model for fun—except Helen, who happens to be the loveliest model of all—and is the most sought after one in town. Helen is the most amazing character you have ever seen. She looks like an angel—her hair parted in the middle and coiled on her neck, blue eyes, wide apart, and a mouth that is everything a mouth should be, and a figure like nothing I ever even aspired to. Helen Is simply, pursued by the richest men in town—married or single. If I ever want Alan to leave me flat, I’ll just officiate at a meeting between him and her—and so long as I want him myself, I’ll see that he never meets her. Mme. Elise is very much worried sor fear she may lose her looks, because of her late hours. And yet she is the best advertisement the shop has ever had, for every time she appears at a night club in a new frock, a line forms on the right the next morning for duplicate prders. To look at Helen, you would think that she had generations of aristocracy behind her—yet she told me quite frankly that her mother was a washerwoman and that she herself had never known what a square meal was until she began to work in the railroad restaurant back in her home town. A few years ago, Mme. Elise was .touring through the town, and saw tielen, and according to Helen she Ks the product of Mme. Elise’s own Kinds. She brought her to the city, flowed her to work in the shop part ■the day, and to piece out hdr eduthat had stopped in the fifth fgAe in the evening. She corrected taught her to observe

Business Woman Slow in Learning Detail Handling

By XEA Service “Women should De willing to serve an executive position,” declared Mrs. E. M. Statler, widow of the founder of the Statler hotels, who, at his death was made president of the chain. “Men are not apt to feel fitted for positions of responsibility Avithout knowing something of the job,” she said. “That is an attitude women should acquire. If women did have it, less fuss would be made about whether a man or a woman held this position or that. “I think the attitude of women is because they are so new in business they do not realize its ramifications. Heretofore many socially prominent women, thrown into the business world by reverses comparatively late in life, felt that their experience in life enabled them to walk into a position of authority. “The type of executive work one wants should determine the kind of apprenticeship. Detailing work to others seems to be hard for women I think it is the home and mother instinct working in us that makes us good on details and loath to surrender them to others, which must happen if one is a real executive.”

how smart women talked, and dressed, and today Helen is actually the toast of the town. Her heaviest suitor is the son 6f the richest man in town, and he is dying to marry her—and she is in love with a penniless young boy who writes music—and will probably never have a dime. Isn’t life contradictory? Lovingly, MARYE.

THERE’S SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE ROOF

A modernistic bedroom features this large, built-in bed, with shelves and closed compartments built into walnut-paneled walls. Fantastic pictures decorate the wallss. Inset into the ceiling above the bed is a crystal light.

BY JULIA BLANSHARD For NEA Service NEW YORK, July 4.—Tricky, fascinating and somewhat of a tonic to the nerves and imagination are some of the new modernistic rooms. Running true to their contemporary ideal of producing the maximum of comfort, pleasure and utility in a minimum of space, these rooms evolve the most charming ways of using every inch and adding illusions of still more space. A modernistic artist has said of the new art: “Modernistic rooms get their cue from the telegram. They pack a lot of meaning into small space and drop out all nonessentials.” That certainly is the ideal of the art in general. But in particular it is developing ways of making the baseboard open up to show telephones. book cases and whatnots in some instances; in others it is eliminating baseboards, mouldings, even door jams, and leaving its mirrors unframed to enlarge the appearance of the room.

Perhaps there are the most imaginative minds behind the present art in interior decoration that industry ever has seen, cnairs that have their oWn ashtrays, writing pads, book holders and footstools hidden right in their framework; beds that turn out to have dresser drawers under them, secret cabinets at their foot and movable tables at their head certainly spring from nothing but visionary minds. Among the most recent bizarre rooms shown in a modernistic exhibition is a penthouse done by Sescaze. It might be termed “Here's hOAv to fix up your attic if you want to keep the young folks home.” For certainly it is jazzy enough to attract not only the young folks but others. The floor of the penthouse is black lacquer, with disks or v half disks, as the case may be, of scarlet, vivid green orange and purple. The walls are of a soft cream with no moulding or baseboards. Three illusions, however, are

This penthouse, or attic room, features nearly every innovation and illusion developed by modernistic art. At the left are wide opaque window and false balcony. In the right-hand comer are plates of metal that reflect the light.

the distinctive things of this room. First, there is what seems to be a sky-light. It really is a skilful crystal window, with little black leaded grating and traceries of leaves as if a tree overhung the skylight. Second, rivaling it for perfect illusion, comes the alleged balcony. Here four silver steps lead to a little black landing with curtains swaying and a railing beyond. By letting your gaze wander up those stairs you fairly see the moonlight and stars and feel the cool evening air outside. But you are deceived. It is only a corner of the room, skillfully transformed. Another illusion is the wide, opaque Avindow. Electric light behind this panel glass enters in such a transfused glow that you are sure it lets upon the open air. It is only glass, with lights behind. Further tricky innovations in this room include the corner arrangement of three different metals all of which reflect the light so perfectly that a sense of much more space is created thereby.

In one comer, hidden, is an ultraviolet ray. You even get a Sunbath thrown in, in this penthouse. One room, a restful tranquil bedroom done in dark walnut rich with a pattern of darker wood tracing squares in it, has a built-in bed that is comfort and convenience personified. Its frame is astonishing. Carved beading, in the same restful dark wood, makes a rich outline. All sorts of secret drawers, book-cases and compartments for dressing articles are fitted into the wall around the bed. Over the bed is a huge inlet of crystal for lighting. Other lightingfits into sockets for reading in bed. All the furniture the room holds is a table and a huge comfortable chair, in the same walnut. The rug is in rich reds, purple, gold and green on a black background. These different rooms might not be so livable as others less bizarre. But it seems safe to say life would be more stimulating if one could introduce one or two such rooms into the old home.
