ROMANCE GALORE YET EXISTS, EVEN IN MARRIED LIFE

Wife Wails of Monotony of Her Days By MARTHA LEE One of the chief sources of friction in the lives of young married couples is discontent. Sometimes it s because friend husband does not am as much as Mrs. Zilch s ball nd chain. Or because Bill does tot take her any place any more. U 1 he wants to do is sit home and sten to the radio. Or he is too crapped up in his business to pay ny attention to her any more. With Bill it is the same thing, ’oor Helen isn't what she was when '.e married her. She has become araless about her appearance. She nas not taken marriage seriously enough. She never wants to go any place or she always is wanting to run to some party or other. And so it goes. It usually is the Ijttle monotonous things about marriage. the routine things that get the couples down. When something really big comes along, a real serious trouble, they stand by each other like soldiers, because the big troubles have romance about them. Like the Movies. They smack of the movies or a great novel, because Bill and Helen can dramatize themselves! And, after all, we all have a secret aching in our hearts to have great things happen in our lives, things that shake our souls and other people’s too, when they hear about them. Asa matter of fact, there is nothing quite so noble as a man or woman who has the power to make all the little routine things about marriage into romance. Just because a woman’s husband does not have a profile like Barrymore, Just because he can not leap from chandelier to staircase in one bound, ala Fairbanks, just because he does not have the suavity of the Menjou, is no sign he is not romantic. The point is, he is too well-bred to flaunt it before people who are not interested in such goings-on except on the screen. Perhaps his only chance to show his wife courtesy and attention is by putting the cap back on the tooth paste every morning. But, as long as he does that, his gesture is as sincere and as full of romance as any of the movie situations screened. Monotony Wearies Her. And the wife, perhaps her only chajice to show devotion is by baking hot biscuits at 7 o’clock on a July morning, because her husband loves hot biscuits. A woman, who cries that her life is too monotonous, started all this outburst. Dear Martha Lee—Ar> long as everyone U talking about what's wrong with marriage. I would like to give some of my ■ lews on the subject. I have been mar- • ritd five years. I am not one of those omen who feel a “psychological need for .•■orklng." as you say some do. I am not -peeiallj discontented with my husband, rather like my home. But what X object o is the monotony, the lack of romance, it is all so deadly commonplace. Every day It is the same thing. Housev. opk. meals, dishes. I get up in the mornißg and do the same things over gain. My husband gets up and goes through the same routine day after day. I don’t know whether it is the age we i-.tt living in or what, but everything Is Standardized, even marriage. If there is anything wrong with marriage, that is it. ROMANCER. My dear Mrs. Romancer, there still are unexplored spots in the world. You and your husband still can go pioneering and have the sort of romance your heart seems to cry far. The trouble with you is you have been taking your fiction too seriously. Change Your Ideas. Really, if you will change your viawpoint on things. I am sure you can find all the romance you want in what you call the commonplace routine of marriage. And as for modern city life, it was no more romantic and dangerous to traipse through the woods with Indians to the right and left of you, in the pioneer days, than it now is to eross any of the downtown streets, what with the automobiles to dodge and the trafiic rules for pedestrians. It may be romantic to grind your own flour and weave your own cloth, but there is enough romance in the history of progress to keep -my soul from crying out for the ' good old days. All you need is a change of viewpoint, and life will become unbelievably romantic to you, even your own married life.

CHARMING idea has been developed in evening wraps by Martial et, Armand, being more or less a version of the Roman toga. The one we saw wos worn by Mile. Soria in “II Manquait un Homme,” a recent Parisian play. The wrap was of a soft green satin, very simple in line, but infinitely elegant in appearance. It was cut and draped very much after the manner of a toga, being gathered together on the left shoulder and left open down the front. It was draped rather loosely at the back, falling in graceful folds to leave exposed one shoulder and a bit of the back. With this was worn an exquisite dress of georgette of exactly the same pale green, and a tiny evening hat of the close-fitting yet gracious form so popular at the moment. st a a ANOTHER of her costumes for the same piece was a girlish dress of bright blue crepe de chine with white polka-dots, with simple collar and deep cuffs of white crepe with blue dots. The skirt hem and the edges of the false bolero were trimmed in a band of the dress material gathered into tiny pleats. Another costume which attracted favorable comment was worn by Mile. Auger in the same play. This was of red taffeta, and had a long basque, longer in the back than in the front, paralleled by the sloping hem-line, creating a lovely silhou- ! ette and movement. tt St tt JUST wish you could see the two long, slender crystal vases on | either end of our very temporary dresser —from which droop sprays of delightful golden flowers. Flowers Clever Fingers made herself of : paper, and we never go anywhere without them because they crumple up into no space at all in a suit- : case.

meet the exigencies of modern life and jewelry had to follow suit. Imperceptibly, over the last ten years, rings, bracelets, brooches have adopted more and more simple lines. The modern woman favors sharp contrasts, plain backgrounds, intricate circles and complicated geometrical designs in her jewelry just as she does in her dress. Another factor that has caused such a radical change in jewelry styles is that we no longer have time to appreciate finicky details. Any jewelry the modern woman wears must avoid catching in the thin, gossamer fabrics she wears so much of the time. Modem pieces of jewelry are for the most part voluminous and this is a pitfall open to many a jeweler. He is inclined to make too lavish a use of either metal or precious stones or both. Some pieces of jewelry, mamly in the form of pendants and bracelets, to be seen now are altogether too massive for any kind of beauty. In modern jewels, however, the intrinsic value of the stones or gems used is by no means the main consideration. The quality of the handwork and its artistic or original composition are the things that count. Gold, in every color available — gray, white and yellow—is enjoying a return to favor after some years of complete neglect in favor of platinum. Onyx, jade, rock crystal, hematite and iacquer work all are used now as a setting for an enormous precious stone or an elaborately composed jewel wherein tw > or three of these elements are used. Gerard-Sandoz, one of the lead-

ers of Parisian jewelers specializing in modern art, shows some very original ideas in all the articles women wear as Jewelry. He has some beautiful cuff bracelets in both gold and silver, elaborately lacquered or incrusted with pounded eggshell. This cuff bracelet fashion was set back as a complementary detail to a simple black afternoon dress and | seems to have proved very success- ! fui. j There are also sets composed of . bracelets and rings with sometimes ! a vanity case or a cigaret case to ! match. These usually are made of I gold in several shades and almost j invariably decorated in exclusive ! designs. So far as formal jewelry is con- ! cerned, the bigger the piece the j better, it would seem, j Slabs of diamond-studded plati- ; num inset with rubies, sapphires and | emeralds are shown by all the leadj ing jewelry shops and diamond | pendants are also of the large size. I Jeweled pendant watches seem to be taking the place of the wrist | watch and some marvels of ini' genuity and workmanship are to | be seen in this line. | As women, after all, can obtain ! but a relative enjoyment in the | wearing of much of their jewelry, |it would seem that creators of I jewelry have exercised much of their | genius on the small trifles they use ; Never have cigaret cases, lighters and holders been so elaborate j and costly. Most of the universally i known jewelers are now showing j precious clasps for the handbag, [studded with real or semi-precious stones.

The Future of Woman Is Big Question BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Ed Howe says he would like to live long enough to see what the future relations of men and women will be. And who wouldn't? One of the most fascinating studies in our world is woman. What is she making of her freedom and what will she do with her future? Men are tame and timid creatures beside us. They have had their little day of dominance and power. Their period of superiority is ended. They no longer are lords and masters, but only simple and often foolish creatures, with a little too much vanity. And because of this deflation in their value, they are much nicer persons. Nevv. Woman Is Here Beside them, in a strange new world, walks the new woman. Like new-born infants, both sexes have many things to learn, and that learning will not be an easy process always. What will become of the home when women have grasped their opportunities to the full? Will it survive or will it die? How will marriage stand the test of having two providers instead of one, and how will men react to the changed conditions? What will happen to the children when they have become incidents instead of careers to their mothers? How will the economic situation stand the strain of having millions of women workers rushing into industry? What will be the future relation between husbands and wives? Will there be husbands arid wives? Puzzling and fascinating questions to muse upon. Like Ed Howe, would we not all like to peep into the future and see how everything is going to turn out? Nobody knows. No one can predict. Will Avoid Disasters But the chances are that no disasters will occur. Probably everything will adjust itself and civilization will flourish. We may be sure that men and women will be improved in this new world which is in the making. I for one have no patience with the howlers who insist that because change has come everything will go to destruction. If we could all come back 200 years hence, I feel sure that the men and women who are walking in these familiar places of earth will be so much finer than we ever have been that we will go sneaking back into our ghost homes, ashamed of our poor fear 6.
