Diverting Thought Idea in Psychology May Halt Stage Struck Girl’s Plans BY MARTHA LEE T HAT do you do with a stage struck child?” a woman iVV asked me in a letter recently, telling me her troubles. She has a 17-year-old daughter, attractive and somewhat talented who wants to go on the stage. There is nothing wrong with a stage career. Many girls have found success and happiness in the stage. But 17 is very young to be battling the hardships and the labor that success on the stage takes as its toll. ■

First, there is the desperate battle for a “place in the sun.” There are thousands upon thousands of girls, young, beaucilul and somewhat talented, who are storming the gates of the theater. To fight your way through a mob of that kind, you must possess something more than beauty and mediocre talent. First of all consider seriously whether you have anything definite and worthwhile to offer your producer and the the-ater-going public. Topsy-Turvy Life Next there is the unstable and hectic life you will be thrown into. Irregular hours, hours diametrically opposed to all of the rules of health —sleep in the daytime and Work at night. When girls are as young as 17 their health demands regularity if they wish to be strong, wholesome looking women. Most of the young girls who wish to try their luck on the stage do it via the chorus girl route. Any girl interested in becoming an actress of the arama, realizes the years of study it requires for success. She crashes the gate only after arduous work. The chorus girl must put up with many inconveniences. When she is older, they do not count as inconveniences, but when she is juot 17 they are real trials, such as going on the road with the show, or if in vaudeville, the constant changing of address. That all sounds very romantic and interesting, of course. But it isn’t. It's annoying. For on the salary an inexperienced chorus girl receives, only the most modest and cheapest hotels are possible. Eudcation Suffers Then there is neglected education. Unless a girl is a child prodigy, she has not completed even her elementary (high school is elementary these days) education. And cry and sob around about it all you wish, beat down the arguments, an education is absolutely an essential thing these days. This mother writes: Dear Miss Lee: I am the mother of an attractive and talented girl 17 years old. She has taken dancing lessons for a number of years. She is not vet through high school and she insists upon quitting and going on the stage. I think she is too young and so does her father. We have no objection to her having a stage career when she is a little older, but she is dead set on going immediately. We have talked and argued and reasoned and pleaded to no avail. I do not think she has enough ability to get far as vet. She will have to take a chorus girl job or possiblv a vaudeville part. We give her everything a girl could want, but she is determined. What shall we do? WORRIED There is a theory taught in child psychology, Worried, that points out to never say “No.” If a child is doing something you do not want him to do, instead of saying ‘Don’t do that” you say “Here are softie paper dolls and a pair of scissors. Why don’t you cut paper dolls ancpaste them in the scrap book.” You divert the child’s attention from that which you do not wish mm to do by inserting anew idea in to his mind. Do this for your child. Offer an alternative, an interesting alternative for that which you are denying.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ n U U THEIR LETTERS

Dearest Mom—lt’s all the bunk that the sea, and the moon, and the silent places make for romance. They don’t. I think an attic, or a cellar, or an artey tearoom with candles dripping all over your clothes, is infinitely more romantic than murmuring pines and hemlocks. You see, here everything is so set for romance, and nothing happens. At least, any little, flutters you have here are so out of scale with the extraordinary beauty of the setting, that it all falls flat—particularly when there are so few men. But you take an ugly place, like a city all built up with brick and stone, where you have no beauty to live up to, and practically any emotional experience promises a litle color and an escape. My moonlight sail with Mr. Shelton was utterly ruined because of the duplicity of my friend Helen. Now that she is having the time of her young life with Alan—and I must admit her vamping is a fair sort of a job—she is the complete feline if I ever met one. You know. I’m not deceitful, and I don’t lie—much—and nothing riles me more than to be put in a position where I seem to be that sort of a person. I’d ten times rather stand my ground than have anything on my conscience. fc. As I wrote to you, I never told anything about having met Mr. before I came out here.

BROWN’S POPULARITY GROWS

Right is a flowered marquisette, by Bendel, in tan, light blue and green figures on a brown background. Left is a flowered beach pajama suit with brown background.

By HENRI BENDEL For NEA Service NEW YORK, July 19.—Milady’s costumes are turning brown long before the green leaves are giving so much as a thought to autumn For brown is now the newest and most approved color for really smart clothes. This is the first season I can remember, for instance, when the brown bathing suit took precedence over pastel colors. My most popular style is a brown satin suit, in the new cinnabar shade, piped with a light, clear green. Its cape is green, brown lined and the parasol combines the colors. , Brown is even extending its influence to lingerie. Tan laces are used with white crepe de chine. One set in carmen-colored Ninon has narrow brown ribbons for decoration. Popular in Paris Evening gowns in rich brown chiffons with a touch of rosy light in them, are receiving much acclaim in Paris and among those exclusive women here who always are in advance of the popular style. One of the newest dressy after-

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER Fanny Brice, who made the whole country weep when she sang with throaty pathos “My Man” about the time her husband, Nicky Arnscein, was sent to Leavenworth for stealing bonds, and who has since divorced him, is about to marry another man. Bond stealing didn’t bother Fanny. It was her Nicky's attentions to “other women” that made her stop singing the song, even though she was handsomely paid for her warble. Good luck this time, Fanny! tt tt tt To Would-Be Writers Some of the many dozens of writing aspirants who write me to ask for “how to break in” rules, may be interested, if they have the price, in the Bread Loaf Conference of Creative Writing which opens its third annual session at the Bread Loaf Inn, Middlebury, Vt., Aug. 21. John Farrar, associate editor of the publishing firm of Doubleday, Doran & Cos., directs the conference. Lectures are given by people whose names are outstanding in the writing field.

The Church of England, sponsoring the bill, deplores the 26,000 women and girls employed as barmaids in England, and would restrict women’s employment in pubs to wives and daughters and other female relatives of the pub owners. The clergymen who are sponsoring the bill lament that England’s prettiest girls are employed as barmaids, for obvious reasons and urge a better use of their charms than barmaiding. If the gentleman of the cloth would be a bit more explicit and tell these 26,000 -pretty girls just where they could decently commer-

For beach wear for a woman of chic who lounges rather than swims, I haVe imported a Molyneaux pajama ensemble of foulard. The gayest of little nosegays in blue, pink, green and yellow are posed on a russet brown background. The sleeveless bodice of the pajama tucks into the pajama trousers, in the latest fashion. Over this a long-sleeved, threequarters coat is worn that has a circular flare to the back of it and straight front lines. A matching parasol emphasizes the correctness of brown this season.

Aviation flights, movies, stage, and demonstrating cannot absorb the pretty girl crop and any number of them who, pretty or not, would gladly do more menial jobs which do not require beauty, find it difficult even to do that. tt tt tt Flying Grandmom And now one of those “dying grandmothers” thinks she will start a trans-Atlantic hop for her seven-ty-eighth birthday celebration. But Lena Ledbetter of Tulsa, Okla., the grandmother in question, will learn that the wrinkles and courage of age have not the page one art possibilities of sheer pretty faces, and since page one is exactly what the aviation business is aiming at with these flights, they’ll go right on choosing the pretty faces to ride their planes. a a u Some Blah!

Learning that the house color scheme was not becoming to the girl, she had the house redecorated in another color that was becoming to the maid’s coloring.
