THIS PERMANENT WAVE GETS A GOOD, HARD SMACK

One Frank Soul Finds It Barbaric BY ALENE SUMNER. Ya little sardines and suffering cats—the permanent wave craze is reaching out even unto the babies and sucklings! The 14-year-old child of the family hied herself over to showgrandmother and aunt the result. ’ She thought it was grand, for her nut-brown head was as like to her mother’s and aunt’s and every female adult she knew as one pea in the same pod could be like another. The medieval page effect of glossy brown hair fitting her round little head like a casque with smart bangs kitty-korner over her white forehead had given way to the electric friz known “permanent wave.” It’ll Be Better “It would be better in a day or so,” she explained, passing on the word of the “operator” who had kept her in a stuffy cubicle for six hours converting her head into this heathenish effect. “The first finger wave never stayed put,” she explained. She might have to have an oil treatment, but— The child was as pleased as when she had her first pair of nude silk hose exactly like her mother’s and her first sleeveless evening dress. This is more than a diatribe againt the so immediate blending of childhood and maturity that there is no gap: with bangs merging into permanent waves. All Have Different Ideas It is a little dissertation on that thing called beauty. Each decade has its standard. Today’s standard calls for permanent waves. The old-fashioned girl who stubbornly clung to her glossy straight hair, and insisted that she liked it better than curls, that it was “more individual,” slowly is yielding to the blandishments of the permanent machine owner. He laughs at her hesitation. The whole business is so different in this era of finger waving, he tells her. One can’t make a \piistake; who isn't improved by curling locks? And no one can keep a marcel in the hot weather, going in swimming, and all that. Now it may be very possible that they are right: that the era of the frizzy permanent is dead and gone, only, somehow, I never seem to have the other kind. And I announce to all the world that I am as rabidly “agin” permanents as Carrie Nation was against cocktails. The Wavy Way I do not speak from the smug position of the brighter-than-thou who has not fallen for the line. The trouble is that I fell. Sometimes I gaze upon my physiognomy, with head attached, in the mirror, and pensively wonder whether I most resemble Jezebel, the witch of Endor. the Circassian freaks of the sideshow, or all three. I am a human mess, thanks to the permanent. I can hardly wait for | it to grow out. Thank Jehovah, the j old hair grows fast. I am pro- j soundly grateful for that necessary j twice-a-month trip to the barber j shop for a good thorough clipping. I was one of those girls whose | friends told her that she “could , wear her hair straight.” Then 11 got tired of believing them. Every- j one else had permanent waves. Why ; not I? The Result My barber told me that the way my hair would take a permanent would be little short of swell. I believed him. Even he' quailed a bit when the mechanism came off and my hair appeared. “It’s always like that at first." he said. But it’s no longer “at first.” j Now he tells me that I am the sort of girl who never should have a permanent wave. But I did. And my mathematics tell me that I’ll have to endure it almost to Christmas. to Halloween, anyway. Just, imagine how- our descendants will laugh at old, unearthed pictures of their female forebears in the clutches of the permanent wave machine—it will seem as barbaric as rings in noses seem to us now. But. honestly, is it any less funny, and do we look any worse? \ My idea of a good day is to go down the street and find one head that hasn’t been through the wringer.

Y'IVID, brilliant coloring is the dominant, note of the autumn collection of Philippe et Gaston. Not only is this true of dresses, but particular of the coats for which this Paris couturier is justly famed. One of these colors is a bright violet—a shade which seems to be gaining in favor: another is a group of full, rich greens, and a third is a sort of pinky-orange-red, toward the coral. These colors make stunning coats, since they are frequently trimmed in jet black fur or in dark gray. The fur collars are enormous, surrounding the head completely, and the cuffs are also large, many of them j mounting to the elbow. The coats themselves are on slim, straight lines, but show a wealth of detailed workmanship in the incrustations and trimming. non THE tendency toward bolero effects in afternoon dresses is very marked in this collection. Also the dipping skirt hem. long in the back, is definitely a feature of these aft- j ernoon models. Gilets of georgette, which are really an exaggerated cravat—novel sorts and placement of buttons —new pleating effects—decolletages cut on a slanting line—these are just a few of the interesting high lights to be noted. a a a Skirt fullness at the bottom is always present, but so cleverly handled and arranged that tl ' slim silhouette is never lost. bob ■\7"OU must have anew bag or two Xor six for fall.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Give Thought to Children jin Divorces BY MARTHA LEE j The question of whether what’s ! sauce for the gander is good for the goose has been argued and mulled over ever since Adam happened to run across Lilith that day in the Garden of Eden. We call it the question of double and single standards now. But it’s the same difference. Women still are contemplating the advisability of going out and doing likewise, when they discover their husbands have found ladies other than themselves much more congenial as companions. But the fact of the matter is a standard is that which is deemed most advisable by the people in general, and cheating is not the best thing for the majority of people, whether they be men or women. Therefore, it is not a question of whether a woman should do as her husband does, but that she should help him to see, for the good of himself, herself, and their children, that he should do as she does. Must Keep Respect. The foundation of marital happiness lies in a congenial, well-ordered home. It is necessary not only to the individuals who have contracted the agreement, but to the community at large. And most especially is it necessary for the children of that home. If a man and woman have loved each other enough to marry and have a family, surely they must retain a spark of respect and reverence for the children that have been brought into the world through that marriage. Many times hurt pride and a heart hunger almost too keen to be bearable lead men and women to do things that will be capable of influencing the lives of those they most love. Dear Miss Lee—l have been married fifteen years. My husband and I have three children, the oldest, a boy, 14. Our married life has not been particularly happy. We have quarreled a great deal, principally because we are both quicktempered and hot-headed. Takes Man as Confident. For the last year I have had absolutely no companionship from my husband. I have known for a number of years that he was not particularly true to me, but in this last year he has been quite brazen about it. Several months ago X happened to see an old friend of mine, a boy who had been attentive to me when I was a young girl. And because I had not seen him for a long time, and because it seemed so good to have someone actually glad to see me, X invited him to our home for dinner. My husband was not there, as usual. I poured out the whole story to this man. Since then we have been seeing each other frequently. He says he still loves me as he did before, and wants me to divorce my husband and marry him. I know my husband does not love me. But I can’t decide what to do. My husband does not know about this. UNDECIDED. Perhaps If your husband knew that you still were attractive to another, he might change his tune. I take it he never has asked you for a divorce, so apparently he does not want to be free. Since he has brought you no happiness, you have no reason to feel concerned about telling him of this affair. I would, and ask him what he suggests you do. about it. Consider the Children. But there is this to consider. The man who is asking you to leave your husband will take the responsibility of raising and educating three children of another man. Your children are going to be constant reminders of their father. You are going to resent any adverse criticism this other man might give to the children of the man who now is your husband, especially since you admit yourself to be hotheaded and quick-tempered. Is it fair to place your children in such position at the most formative years of their lives? You have many things more important than your own happiness to consider in taking this step.

College Women Stir Alarm by Shunning Mothers’ Duties

Bv Times Special NEW YORK. Aug. 14.—The alarming decrease in marriage and motherhood among college-trained girls in recent years is bringing about a revolution in the curricula of leading women’s colleges. A generation ago, these institutions emphasized the arts, mathematics. and other accepted sciences as the important elements of a woman’s education. But now the “business of managing a home and husband and bringing up children is in the way of being taught as among the biggest and most important tasks that a woman can undertake, requiring all the knowledge and experience she can acquire,” says D. E. Wheeler, reporting the rapidly changing conditions in the August issue of Smart Set magazine. Courses in child psychology, practical physiology, home economics, and related subjects are being introduced everywhere. And the college girls are responding. At Vassar, Mr. Wheeler reports, the course in euthenics has become the second most popular of elective courses with the freshman class. Recent surveys showing that

fewer than 50 per cent of college women marry and tha f even fewer undertake motherhood have had a great bearing on the change, the writer believes. “Up to five years ago the average college for women was planned on the same lines as that for men,” it is shown. "It was bitterly contended that education should be the same for both sexes. Bodies might be different, but not brains. Woman was equal to man in every respect.” But while womans intellectual chliber has been proved, training for her most important role in life has been, until lately, underemphasized, the Smart Set writer points out. “State colleges and co-educational institutions have led the new trend by establishing courses in applied sciences adapted to the interests of home-building and social efficiency,” he says. “But for years the exclusively women's college resisted this feminine influence, frowned at the innovation, and stuck closely to its unadulterated classics, humanities and pure science. “Pressure of public opinion has brought about self-analysis and revaluation, however, and the woman's college at last has reached the stage of including household arts, child training and other home subjects in its curriculum with enthusiastic results.” Bridesmaids to Be Given Dinner; Covers for Ten Miss Irma Waldvogel, whose marriage to Gerry L.

Terrible! Film Star Is Freckled BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON News of the signing of the farm relief bill, the decision regarding prohibition enforcement, and the discussion of the tariff are momentous things. But they pale into insignificance before the startling story that Miss Myrna Loy is afflicted with freckles. Miss Loy, as all screen fans know, begins to glow as a star in the cinema firmament, and therefore is a person with some news value. Hitherto wc have read with sinking hearts the advertisements showing the lovely ladies es the screen, with their interviews telling us how they retain their soft and silken complexions by the daily use of certain soaps. Cold cream manufacturers have importuned us to buy their products because the charming and fascinating Miss So-and-So attributes her beauty to the fact that she never has missed a night since childhood in putting it on thick. Look Good on Screen ( Then we go to the theater and view this same Miss So-and-So in a stupendous super-production. Her complexion does indeed appear unblemished. Not a pimple is to bo seen in the close-up views of her. Afterward we go home to smear on more and better cold creams, to change soaps, to diet, to die if need be, to acquire to an infinitesimal degree some of the radiant school girl complexion of Miss So-and-So. You can see, therefore, why the news of Miss Loy’s freckles comes like a lifesaver to a drowning man. We have seen her many times on the screen and always she has appeareed as a flawless beauty. Her skin gleams satiny and smooth. Her face is without a blemish. And the woman is freckled, it seems. Hurray! Perhaps they all have something wrong with them, like the rest of us. Their eyelashes, which always look thirty times as long as any eye- • lashes ever seen in the open, can it be that they are stuck on with glue? Their, lips, more luscious looking than any lips ever appear; do they get that way by some clever trick of photography? Anyway, Miss Loy’s freckles have heartened us up a lot. I know of no story that has spread more real happiness over the land. Heaven bless the man who sent it out. Now if somebody will only tell us that Gloria Swanson has false teeth, life will be joyous again. Bernadine Grow Gives Party for Her House Guest Miss Bernadine Grow entertained Tuesday afternoon at her home. 4240 Park avenue, with a bridge party in honor of her house guest, Miss Sally Harbough, Lafayette, who is a classmate at Northwestern university.
