Henri/ Tiller Talk* “Explorers” was the subject of a talk by Henry T. Tyler, chairman of the psychology department at Teachers college of Indianapolis, to students in assembly Thursday afternoon. “There are still fields for exploration.” remarked Dr. Tv--1 ler. after contrasting the adventure j of frontier life with the monotony of urban civilization. ‘We haven't penetrated far into the realm of human relations; we can still pioneer in the field of thought.” International affairs, religion, race and industrial problems, and education, were the subects the speaker recommended to the adventUTOLS minded. on New Year's eve. I had meant to ! tell you about the lovely gowns, but I there were so many it would be an impossibility. If you would be in. though, wear ern long in back and short in ] front. Any color goes, but the dress ! must be graceful and flowing, and you must have the back cut low:

The Moyen age inspired this lovely off-white satin wedding gown, from Henri Bendel. Therb is rich dignity and beautiful simplicity in its great length, its rose point lace yokes and its flowng sleeves that, divide at the elbow to supplement tlie train. A mediaeval period cap of tulle, embroidered in pearls, holds the veil. To the left of the bride is the bridesmaid's frock of turquoise blue silk net. topped by natural colored bakou hat, with blue streamers. At the right Bendel fashions a charming wedding dress of pinkish off-white chiffon for the informal ceremony. It has a full, scalloped skirt and a distinctive scarf treatment. The braid hat is gardenia trimmed.

BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Ser'icc Writer Fk JEW YORK. May 3.—June brides J lx will go old-fashioned this year i when they select their wedding i gowns, if they would be stylish. The newest wedding gowns hark j back to the mediaeval age for their j inspiration. They have a dignity of | other years in their length and! trains; a quaint modesty in the cut J of their necklines and incorporate ] in their scheme of things the tight i bodices, long tight sleeves, peplums j and other themes of the long ago. j They arc smart this June, how- : ever, in exact proportion to their i effect of simplicity. Richness of j fabric is the keynote. Cleverness i in cut is its running mate. Much ] real lace appears as yokes and sleeve i touches. Some gowns have net i regally embroidered in crystals and i pearls. Classic dead-white satin has yielded to the suntan desire for offwhite satin. Rich broches may i have a gold or silver thread pattern- I ing them. Chiffon, net. tulle, geor- ! gette and mousseline de soie sash- I ion many perfectly beautiful wed- | ding gowns, practically all of them I in the delicate off-white shades in- ] stead of white. Off-White in Vogue Even the pinkish off-white is having a vogue, and when combined with delicate costumes for the bride's attendants, makes a delectable picture that, is unforgettable. The tight bodiced wedding gown, with some individual cut to the kirt. is the best taste. The skirt, whether flounced, tiered, composed of flat horizontal sectors, circular or gored, usually is cut with ingenuity so that it hangs in soft folds almost to the ground, with the train coming from the hips. The train's length Is immaterial. Some are short, usually the ones 'hat dip in three points, from the back and both, sides. Others insert circular widths tha' fall gracefully r o fashion a court length train. Necklines are api to be wider than deep. Square anci batteau lines are more the cut of the moment *han a V neck. Sleeves are either the long, tight kind br else follow some distinctive style, usually after they leave the elbow. Heirloom Veils Good Veils of lace are an enviable heirloom to bequeath this year's bride. Nothing is more queenly than the creamy lace veil one's mother and grandmother wore. This year's veil flows out from under a little cap, usually. This may be of lace, pearls, tulle, fine silver meth or brilliants. The bride's bouquet may be a sheaf of white roses or lilies, a big nosegay of orange blossoms or gardenias. or a garden show ox white lilacs, narcissus and orange blossoms. Distinctive and illustrative of the Moyen age theme is a wedding gown from Henri Bendel of classic off-white satin, fashioned long and form fitting with a yoke of exquisite real rose point lace. The tight sleeves are unique in the way they open at the lebow to fall in flowing beauty to supplement the train. The headdress is a Moyen age cap. made of seed pearls on tulle. For the bride lucky enough to have a garden to be married in, or for the % ride who prefers an informal home or church ceremony, Henri Bendel creates a stunning off-white chiffon wedding gown that is charmingly feminine. Its bodice hugs the figure to hip-

line, where a voluminous, circularly cut skirt is posed with a quaint shirred heading. Skirt edge is scalloped and dips low on either side and the back touches the ground. A novel scarf .of matching silk net crosses the bodice like a bolero, swings to pointed long ends in the back and simulates sheer sleeves. Her picture hat is off-white swiss braid, with gardenias trimming it. The bride will be flanked by lovely soft colors this season. For six attendants’ costumes a good color combination is maize, Parmesian violet, turquoise blue, pink, apple green and either melon, flamingo or chartreuse. All these, however, are pastel shades. The different colors biend as softly as flowers in a garden. Chiffon is tremendously popular for the June bridesmaid's costume. Some garden weddings will feature organdie or net. Tulle is excellent for church or home weddings and lovely effects in panels, tiers and peplums can be obtained from its use. There are long, irregular skirts on bridesmaid's costumes, with little diaphanous panels that dip and float softly in that walk toward the altar. Hats usually are of chiffon or horsehair braid in shades to match or contrast with the frock. They may have ribbons, flowers, lace or even ostrich feathers on them this summer for decoration. Slippers invariably match the hats and if mitts are worn, quite a stylish vanity this minute, they, too, are the hat's color. Nosegays of garden flowers are in good taste for the bridesmaids or an armful of tulips or roses. The maid of hpnor usually has a frock of softer hue than the bridesmaids, for of course she stands nearest the bride and her color contrasts with the wedding gown itself. The attendants’ frocks are of silk net. the one shown being the turquoise blue one. It has wide pleats around the bodice and the hipline that dip to give much rear length.

Inferiority Stand Wrong for Women BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON I have followed the work of a certain woman columnist for eighteen months and during that time I have not read one word in praise of women. All her remarks about her own sex are derogatory. She must suffer from a strong inferiority complex. One of the most astounding things in the world today is the fact that so many women are ashamed of their sex. No wonder we receive small grace from the hands of many men. We are in a state of perpetual humility and wear a constant apologetic attitude. We are women, and not at all proud of the fact, it seems. This, to my notion, is a rotten state of things. Periodically in history women have gone through an upheaval of this sort. The girls suppress their femininity and take from themselves some charm and magnetism they never can again regain, while the women cut off their hair, yell for trousers, and prance about in a futile effort to cnvince themselves that they are exactly like men. Many of them honestly believe that they have improved themselves. And where does this sort of thing generally get us? Positively nowhere. It's sensible to enjoy the freedoms which were once so unjustly denied us. It's pleasant to know that false modesty and prudery have disappeared and that we now are permitted to choose our professions and to shape our destinies. as it were. But it is neither natural nor sensible that ive should bewail our state of being and be ashamed that we are women. All our inferiority is within our

And it does something to us That is not nice to sec. It makes silly monkeys of us. The men. wise creatures, flaunt their masculinity and brag about it. The greatest insult that can be hurled at one of them is to tell him he is like a woman. And yet a woman will bridle with pleasure if somebody tells her she has a “man's mind.” No wonder we were suppressed for so long. We ought to be now, if only to be punished for the scorn in which we hold ourselves. Whenever we can be as proud of being women as the men are of being men. we’ll have some right to boast of our progress. But not until then.
