‘Going Steady ' Too Young Bars Boy and Girl From Mating With Ideal Persons By MARTHA LEE WHEN is a girl (or a boy for that matter) old enough to “go steady?” It is not a question of age, exactly, because some girls mature mentally more quickly than others, and any boy or girl is not ready for the steady diet of one companionship until they have experimented enough to determine just what mixture it is that will satisfy their tastes. It is during the experimenting age of youth that a com-
posite form of the “ideal” person becomes more tangible. That is why no very young boy or girl should “go steady” with another. It spoils, at the very conception, the sense of values that can be gained through a wide knowledge of people. Sometimes you hear of a case where a couple, happily married, have been “first and only” loves. But more often than not the plea comes: “I was married too young; I didn’t have a chance to meet and know other people so that I could compare the good qualities of one person against another!” In today’s mail came a letter from a little 15-year-old high school girl that is fairly teeming with good sense and fairness. The child is confronted with the problem of going steady with a boy whom she holds sincere friendship for or giving that precious gift up. In reality, there is no problem, unless the boy is unusually stubborn. It is an imposition for any boy 18 to expect a girl 15 to give up all her little school friends for his exclusive companionship. And to consider marrying a mere child, who has net as yet completed the education that will enable her to better take up the burdens of marriage is barbarous. I know that our grandmothers married that yorsg. But so did they also ride out to California in a covered wagon, which is no argument why we should suffer the inconveniences of that mode of travel. And there is no long, rough road like the one of matrimony. And you can’t pass up any of the ways and means to make it a little easier. Happiness will come only through satisfaction with the one you marry and how can you be satisfied with one person when you are constantly weighing him against new types of people you meet? And the new always attracts. Learn to know people so that you may form your own sense of values concerning character. Here is the letter from wise little 15: Dear Martha Lee: I am fifteen and am going with a boy eighteen. He says he loves me, but 1 know we are botn too young to really love each other. I like him better than any of the other boys, but still I feel that I am too young to go steadw with anyone. I don’t want a different boy every few nights, but any girl likes a change. I can appreciate him more after I have been with someone else. He is the first boy I have ever gone with. He, however has gone with other girls. I feel that I am missing something, but when I go out with anyone else it hurts him. He said he wouldn't go with me if I had other dates anymore. I won't sneak and have other dates because I think that’s mean and cheap. I can't bear to give up his friendship, but I want to be free and go and come when and with whom I please. Then, too he is always talking of what we’ll do when we finish high school. I'm not nearly ready to think of marriage yet. BROWN EYES. You are the sensible one, Brown Eyes. If he is truly fond of you he will be glad to be numbered among your friends, be they in three figures. Os course, you are too young to go steady and as far as marriage, that is, or should be at least five years removed. Talk to him about it all and see if you can’t make him understand. And write to me again Your letter was a joy.

National committee reports Will be given tonight. femjnTsm~to rule STYLES FOR AUTUMN By United Prrxj NEW YORK, July 11.—Feminism will return for women’s dress this fall in place of the boyish mode that was so popular this spring and summer. That was the dominant note at the style show of the garment retailers of America, but even the flouncy feminine styles will be short —above the knee, just as this summer. Velvet Is the predominant material for fail, with the popular hues Normandy green and Guava red. Even though the styles are feminine, diet still must be watched ir. order to fit in with the new styles. While curves will be stressed, this will be done subtly so that plumpness will have no part in fall styles. Honors Visitors Mrs. Roger Becm, 757 Graham St., entertained Tuesday with a luncheon bridge party honoring Mrs. F. F. Vandemark, Ft. Collins, Kas., who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. B.

Bn T7M Service PSVRIS, France, July 11.—The spectacular dress event of the past week, the Grand Prix de Paris de l’Elegance, proved the importance of diaphanous materials in the summer’s achievement of making a woman look cool, whether she is or not. Costumes for torrid days by cut, color and texture epitomize the balminess of welcome summer breezes. Whether the smart woman strolls, shops, sips, dines or dances, she must look aloof from the warm multitude or she is not properly costumd. Slim Lines Persist While the straight, slcn ler l'ncs so dear to the heart of modern woman, have yieldea u inner sxirt.; and a definite feling for th normal waistline and tight hips, there is still a tendency in the better houses to preserve a slimness in silhouette.

ness when pulled out but simulate a straight line. Lace is a stand-by for the couturier this summer. Feathers give a softness for trimming that suggest;: fluttering leaves and flowers. Popular materials for warm weather outfits are fine mousseline de sole, chiffons, georgettes, organdis, batistes, ninon, nets and tulle. White Favored White is the first choice for summer. If a woman can wear white well, no color can approach it for that indefinable charm and freshness it bestows upon her. Greens are ever cool and good. So are all pastel shades, in fact. A white gown from Molyneaux gains distinction from its crystal bead embroidery that gives it sparkling stripes.

It is bordered with feathers, shading from red to pink, casting a soft flush over the

Filmy Lace Is Summery Perhaps the most important costume for summer, from the point of looking cool whether one feels it or not, is the formal afternoon costume. Premet combines sand colored chiffon with matching fine lace and creates a delectable, fragile filmy outfit that in itself suggests garden parties, leimrely boulevards or balconies overlooking cool waters. The lace is inserted to give a geometric design to the frock and. combined with the chiffon, circular fullness. The full-length coat is all chiffon save its puff-sleeve, the lower portion of which is all lace, gathered into a cuff of chiffon. Even the hat repeats the coolness of the costume, being a wide-brimmed mousseline cne, sand-colored, with pointed incrustations cf the lace.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ * * * THEIR LETTERS
Dear Mom: It is fun to be free again. This morning I slept late, and lay for a long time listening to the waves outside my window. Then I ordered my orange juice and toast and read the morning paper, and wondered why one couldn’t just be useless and happy all the time. I had a gorgeous swim, and while on the beach picked up an acquaintance with a girl who is staying here for a month, and we had luncheon together. She said she had fallen into the hands of some bridge sharks out here and that she never wanted to see a card again, she was so tired of it. So I suggested she go out motoring in the afternoon with me, which she did. I like her—-her name is Alice Carver—ever so much. We rode around until we came to a very smart little tea shop, where we had tea. By this time I knew the story of Alice’s life. She is here with her father, trying to forget the man whom she loves so much and who recently married her best friend. She says she knows perfectly well that there is nothing she can do about it, or that she would do if she could, but she can’t seem to get over it. No one else she meets interests her at all. It isn’t that she wants to care any more for the man who walked out on her, or that she doesn’t realize that he wasn’t particularly worth wasting her life on, but she can’t help herself. I told her my theory—which is that there is no man worth breaking your heart over, but a great many that furnish excellent and stimulating entertainment. She said I looked to her like a woman who rode over life triumphantly, and I told her I did. I almost collided with the car of my friend Brother Shelton as we came back to the hotel. I presented him to Alice, and as we stood there talking along came Alan—so I just introduced Alan to the two, and he naturally assumed that both were recent acquaintances, and all went well. You see, Alan knows nothing of Mr. Shelton. I had feared I might have to make some stupid explanation abour, him, but Fate protected her erring daughter. On the whole, i life looks promising right now. Your devoted MARYE.
