Age Difference Counts Little in Marriage If Important Factors Exist BY MARTHA LEE WHAT is the answer to the age puzzle? I have been getting a number of letters from women who are in love with men both older and younger than themselves. One wants to know if it makes any difference if she marries a man younger than herself. The other wants to know what the outcome of a marriage with a man much older than herself will be.
Frankly, I do not believe that age has anything at all to do with love. If a man, according to the calendar, happens to have his years under those of the woman he loves, I can see no reason why that should be a deterring factor in the happiness of those two. Age Not All-Important If a man is mentally developed to the age of the woman he loves—that is the important part. If his viewpoints are as steady and well formed as hers, I can not see why a few years’ difference in their ages should be considered an all-impor-tant factor in their prospective marriage. The idea of a man being older - than the woman he marries probably originated in the theory that women mature more quickly than men. Then, too, men like youth and vitality, and marriage is wearing on those two precious things. Sometimes I am inclined to think that too high a premium is placed upon them. Why cannot maturity be just as beautiful? Ask the men, they know, for it is they who set the .standards by which women’s “marketability” is determined. Anyway, there are cases where a •man would be much happier and far better off with a woman much younger than himself for his wife, and there are cases where a woman is best suited to a man who burns fewer candles on his birthday cake than docs she. Mentality a Factor There are women whose mentalities are too highly developed to find enjoyment in men their own ages; who find the most, happiness with men of maturity, with set ideals and definite views on life. And there are men of the same type. I cannot believe that chrono- i logical age has anything at all to do j with happiness as long as the affair is as seriously considered as any marriage should be. Here is a letter from a poor little girl who has a double worry; the age one being the most important, I feel sure: Dear Miss Lee—l am a young giri in my teens. My sister is six years my senior. She and I go with boys whc are brothers. My sister and her beau have had a quarrel, over another girl, but my friend and X have had no trouble at all. Sometimes we have little quarrels, but on the whole get on very nicely. Both my sister and X have been going steady for six months. If she quits going with her beau, do you think it wise for me to do the same? Since they are brothers one might take up the other’s grudges and traits. I love him and I think he loves me. I put all my faith in him, but he is Jealcais of me. I am one year younger than he. Do you think that well make any difference? He thinks he is older. Shall I tell him the truth? My sister’s friend is three years her Junior. WE. You have the ajiswer to the age question as far as I can see it in the beginning of this article. As to breaking up with your young man just because your sister has broken with his brother, that would be ridiculous. If you have a better reason, do so, but it would be stupid to cut off your friendship because of your sister, or his brother, for that matter.

BY BETSY SCHUYLER EAST HAMPTON, L. 1., Aug. 3. Social registrites deluxed the annual benefit street fair here this year until it was a gorgeous pageant with colorful booths, fascinating “grab trees,” a stunning fashion show and everything you could tiiink of to eat, wear or look at offered for sale by fascinating damsels in fancy dress. Most of those present looked so altogether charming that they might have been willing to wear the costumes not alone for sweet charity, but for their own sakes. Some of the fashions high-lighted the mode, in cut, color and novelty. Pajamas Go Native Pajamas, for instance, have gone quite native, judging by those worn by Mrs. A. Lawrence Dowd and Mrs. Prank P. Shepard. Both had stunning suits of wide, colorful, flaring trousers, and the regulation length coats topped by coolie hats, novelties of wide, mushroom brims in natural colored straw—the kind coolies actually wear! The beret is the one and only proper headgear to wear with swimming suits! Among those who attested this with the most chic were Mrs. Chester Palmer and Mrs. Clifford McCall, the former in a jaunty scarlet one, the latter in a sapphire blue. Along with the turbaned, swathed or bereted head, necklines are changing. The crew neck is rival I by the collegiate—a new, close-to-the-neck tone fastens with a little frog or button like a Chinese neck, but has no standing collar. Frances Hyde, selling rich, fattening foodstuffs at a most appealing counter, wore a green siilk, double-tieredi frock with a collegiate neck fastened by bits of jade.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
The bloused waist is with us in earnest. The two Jeans—Graves and Leonard—proved it in the cute striped and flowered frocks they wore while selling hotdogs to folks who were not hungry. Evening brings us the biggest change in frocks, it seemed, from watching the fashion mannikens. They now are white, vivid colors or street shades. All evening skirts are longer, whether they dip, flare or hang straight. The picture frock has a big place in the new mode. Organdie at its best characterizes the picture Elinor Bronaugh made in a delectable pink period frock, with ruffled long, full skirt, a moulded bodice and big rose and pink sash trailing along, behind her. The length was perhaps its most noticeable feature. Brown a Compliment Mrs. Frank P. fehepard is one woman who benefits mightily by the vogue for brown of an evening. She w’ore a tulle frock of a rich copper Drown that caught the tints of her lovely hair, the perfect shade fer her own coloring. This frock showed the tendency away from the heavy back treatment. It wore its pouf on one side. Mrs. John Hutton had on a flam-ingo-red chiffon with batteau neckline, princess lines and then a half dozen rows of ruffling posed in irregular lines below the hips, giving a very down-in-the-back line. Anew rich, clear blue was sponsored by Mrs. Floyd Furlow' in a satin and tulle frock, with a new, draped effect in both the blouse and the skirt, caught here and there by crystal buckles.

-YOUR CHILD—-
Best Training Most Simple
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Parents must not get the idea that the business of child training is a ponderous affair that calls for isms and ologies, long faces and texts. It isn’t. It is the most delightful occupation in the world. A little intelligence and knowledge about handling children need never be associated with rules and by-laws. Indeed, most suggestions for child guidance seems to be in warning parents to keep hands off. There are more children spoiled in overhandling than underhandling. It is by punishments and over discipline, by instilling fears and practicing injustice, that children are often filled with undesirable character traits. If home conditions are happy and normal, and a child treated as a reasonable human being and friend, his confidence gained and his cooperation assured, other things follow as naturally as the day follows the night. Different, Not Abnormal I heard a specialist in child psychology declare that many of the so-called abnormal children who came to this clinic for examination and treatment, were not abnormal at all, but merely different. Being a bit out of the usual run they had been struggled with and worked with by parents and teachers until the children had become obsessed by the idea that they were queer and regarded their “queerness” in the light of a license to do pretty much as they pleased. They enjoyed being worried over and getting so much attention. Right Home Important This refers, of course, to unusual children, but it proves a point. There is nothing complicated and nothing to struggle over, in any great degree, in training almost any child. A happy home, proper food, plenty of rest, fair treatment (not necessarily coddling) and helps in solving his childish difficulties and problems, love and tolerant understanding. This is the simple theme of child training. Not complicated, is it? Don’t allow a child to think you are bringing him up by rule. Don’t run to a book, or if you do, don’t let him suspect it. If he gives you trouble, appeal to him in any way you think best, but don’t give him the idea that he is a problem in arithmetic that you can’t solve. You may have created a very complicated situation yourself out of nothing. Parents can not always follow the workings of a child’s mind or account for his behavior. Half the time he can not account for it himself. When the day comes that we will understand even our own minds, that will be a happy time. Don’t allow child training to “get” you. ,
