TRAVELING COSTUMES FOR AUTUMN ARE SOFT IN LINE

Lightweight Wools Win High Favor By HENRI BENDEL NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Bept. 2.—September travelers will spend much of their shopping for clothes in the next few days. Os first importance is their choice of costume for steamer, train, automobile or airplane. Many girls will be going to college, many abroad, some will go south and some west. Women who stay home will find need for at least one traveling costume, for what woman today doesn’t run to the next town for shopping, visiting with friends or for a weekend house party? The traveling costumes this autumn are distinctly soft in line, made of charmingly new lightweight wools, and furnish fine examples of how far from the straight line styles have departed. Straight Line Passes No suit coat, whether it is a little jacket or one of the new threequarter or seven-eights autumn lengths, is straight line. The day when two fronts and a back are sewed together on the straight, and the result is called a coat, are passed. More often than not the trick in fit lies in the back line. Some couturiers prefer a flaring back and fitted front sections, others like the fitted back and more or. less loose front. Somewhere, either front or back, the waistline must be traced and in my opinion there will be many coats, before the winter is out, that are snugly fitted princess modes. Fur trims many suits this autumn. One may put long fur on the under side of the sleeves, which gives the effect of fur pillows to lean on when one stops in her ship’s walk to rest on the rail a spell. Spiral Trims Effective Spiral or circular sleeve trims are delightfully different this year. Sometimes a little flounce or ruffle of fur around the elbow of a sleeve Is more effective than a deep cuff. Other sleeves may have an overskirt of fur. A few sleeves are made entirely of fur, in cloth coats. A suit imported from Vionnet this year has unusual grown caracul trim. The suit itself has a skirt with side pleats and a long coat of tan tweed in a pebbly worsted. Brown Caracul Used Brown caracul fashions the lower part of the sleeves, rounding out into full sleeves, not unlike the old Bishop's sleeves, gathered into cuffs that barely slip over the hands. The collar is split in the back to show a V of the material and comes down to points in the front. The coat has raglan sleeves, deep square pockets put on with points top and bottom and a wide, flaring back section, with the front slightly fitted. Much softer in line is a little Lucille Faray import of tan herringbone tweed, trimmed with brown suede bandings. The skirt h3S two very, very deep box pleats cn its wrap-around side.

Tattletale Problem Often Is Vexing for Mother to Solve

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON What shall we do with the child who comes to us with tales about the other children he plays with and reports the pranks or disobedience of his sisters and brothers—a tattletale? I believe all mothers have this stage to go through and most of them are at a loss how to handle it. There is one great danger; if they take the common method of scolding or shaming a child out of the habit, he is likely to stop coming to his mother with other things as well. And is it worth losing his confidence? One mother recently spoke to me about this very thing. But she added a bit of information that not only explained why the child was telling on his sister, but it made it quite possible for his mother to cure him of telling tales without losing his confidence. She informed me that he was very selfish, also. It Isn’t Malice In young children there is seldom any real malice behind tattling. In an older child the motive for running to a parent with stories is perhaps not so innocent. In a young child tale-bearing may be caused by his feeling that a certain thing is wrong and that his mother really 1 ought to know. He knows that she wants him to tell her if he does wrong. Why, then, may he not tell on somebody else? In the case of this particular little boy, however, it was different. It is probably our old friend—or bugaboo, rather—inferiority complex again at work. The sister, who is younger, may have been petted more than he and he experienced the usual resentment of the older child who has been somewhat shoved aside. Reaction is Natural • The thing that happened was a perfectly natural reaction. A desire to discredit his sister in his mother’s eyes would result from either of these causes, also a rather pathetic attempt to bring a little glory on himself. The selfishness his mother speaks of is the key to this analysis. It fits in perfectly. One of the commonest causes of selfishness is this very kind of inferiority complex. It, too,' Is an unconscious impulse as far as the child is concerned. The mind works In a strange way. By getting things for himself and getting his own way he is making another attempt to make himself important in his own eyes, and to increase hfedglf-respect. Don’t we all

Writers Report Modern Girl No Longer Looks to Marriage

Bu Unital Press NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—The college girl who used to play a mean game of croquet and look forward hopefully to a sedate home and fireside has given place to a modern sister who fares forth in short skirts or knickers, plays baseball and dreams, perhaps, of becoming a business executive when she graduates. The amazing change in the modem education of women is set forth by Mary Dunning Thwing and Dr. Charles F. Thwing, president emeritus of Western Reserve university, in an article in the September Review of Reviews. The modern college girl, these veteran educators report, is as free as air. She has a fearlessness born of the fact that she surveys the world with wide-open eyes and believes herself equal to whatever it may offer her. Along with the change in her dress, manners, way of life and subjects for study, she has ehaged her entire outlook. She no longer looks forward to teaching or

feel that possessions increase our self-respect? As for the cure, I’d never scold a young child at the time of his tale-bearing. But I shouldn’t pay much attention and I shouldn’t praise him. In between times I’d talk to him and tell him little moral stories of good sportsmanship, and about brothers sticking up for their sisters at all times. Scolding isn’t the cure, at least in a younger child, and I’d try very hard to bring back his feeling of importance so that he won’t have to resort to mean little ways of doing it himself.

Despite all the radical changes, the writer’s report that fundamentally the college girl is little altered. About one-half of all graduates still marry and manage their own homes.

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER. Rose Wallace, 10, and her brother Charles, 14, had the police of a whole state looking for them when they disappeared the other day. They were playing with some other children. One of the children snatched Rose’s doll away and tore her clothes off. Rose slapped the doll assailant. The young assailant’s mother came running, slapping everybody and threatening to call police. So Rose and Charles ran away. The little story Is interesting just as an example of this funny thing called maternal love which furiously and animal-like protects Its own, but often does not care what happens to the children of someone else. Those very parents who most fiercely protect their own offsprihg very often have no universal love Cor children. tt tt tt “Our Betters” The Dr. Snook murder trial waged in Columbus, 0., and which was nationally 7 prominent in a nation which numbers its daily murders about as it numbers auto accidents, makes one wonder why some are considered important and others not. To be sure, there’s the eternal triangle motive, which is supposed to be universally interesting. But dozens of murders which receive only “honorable mention” have this basic sex motive. The real answer is that here are people supposedly “Our Betters.” A professional man, a doctor and a member of a state university on trial for his life for the confessed murder of a co-ed. Here are educated, well-dressed, well-mannered people. The mass of human beings are a bit lower on the ladder of the social scheme of things; nothing so gratifies them as to find that their “betters” can get wrung through the roller just as flat and humiliatingly as their “lessers” can. tt tt a She Changed Another interesting phase of the murder is the accused doctor’s own story of what happened as his romance flowered. First, he told how charming and agreeable and interesting and companionable the girl whom he killed was. She asked for little, he said. They went into the whole adventure “with common sense.” It was “just a mutually pleasant arrangement.” But as time went on, the girl became unlike herself, he testified, telling of her irritability, jealousy, suspicion, “unreasonable demands.’’ And so two other human beings have discovered that deep, deep well of monogamous possessiveness which exists, all the surface rationalizing to the contraryTwo other pitiable, distraught human beings discovered that it must be “either, or” and not “both and.” War Mothers to Meet .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Pick Mates by Actions to Parents BY MARTHA LEE Young men and women contemplating matrimony constantly are seeking rules by which to choose a husband or wife. Which is, of course, a fruitless search. There are no more certain rules by which the possibilities of a girl or boy as a wife or husband can be determined than there are scales on a cow. Having no rules, we must judge what their reactions to certain circumstances would be by their reactions to similar circumstances in the unmarried state. For instance, a boy’s attitude toward his mother is almost an unfailing indication of his attitude toward other women, especially his future wife. If he is courteous, kind, considerate, gentle, patient and gallant there is no reason for doubting that his attitude toward his wife would be the same. If he is sharp, impertinent, unmannerly, and given to discourteousy with his mother, chances are he will be the same toward his wife in no time at all. Lacking in Rea! Principle A girl disrespectful to her mother will be found lacking in real principle toward other people with whom she has constant dealing. The attitude of boys and girls toward their parents is a pretty safe indication by which to choose a mate. Another sure-fire bet is their attitudes toward any responsibilities that come their way before matrimony. If they shirk the minor responsibilities that come to them as sons and daughters, you may rest assured their attitudes toward their husbands and wives will be no different. A young girl, contemplating marriage, but not quite sure of her choice has written a letter in which her doubts are all too well founded. Dear Miss Lee—l am 23 years old and very much In love with a boy. We are thinking of getting married, but there are a few characteristics I have seen him display that have caused doubt as to the possible success of our marriage. He always is sweet and considerate oi me, but I have been in his home and seen the disrespect with which he treats his mother and father. He Does Not Reciprocate He is better educated than they, as I am better educated than my parents, but I would not think of telling them they didn't know what they were talking about when they say something that I think sounds a bit foolish. Well, he does that for one thing. It is as though he was ashamed of them for being so stupid and was trying to silence them. Another thing, they were forced to sacrifice a great deal to send him to college. Since he has been out he has gotten a good position. But I happen to know he never has helped them financially in any way. He has used his earnings to buy a car and dress himself well; to Join clubs and take lovely vacations. This worries me, too. I can not help but love him for his treatment to me, but it sets me wondering when I think over these things. What do you think, Miss Lee? WORRIED. I think he would be a very bad bet as a husband, my dear. As I have said so many times, there are no sure rules to guide boys and girls in choosing their mates, but surely if anything is hand-writing on the wall, it is the attitude of that prospective mate toward his parents. I think this boy you love is unutterably selfish, and although he loves you, you too, would feel the pain of that selfishness more times than you can guess. Never marry a man so completely wrapped up in himself he can not be touched by a sense of duty. You will be digging yourself a charming little crypt in which to die a little every day.

Bad Books Outgrown by Youth BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON “Doesn’t it make your heart sick to see so many boys devouring these penny dreadfuls and so many girls reading confession magazines, said the man at store. Well, it does and it doesn’t. 'When one realizes the depth of dingy sentimentalism embodied in our secondrate fiction, one easily could succumb to discouragement. But cheer yourself with this thought: Bad is better than no reading at all. The boys who bury themselves in the wild life of “Bob; the Bold Bandit’’ will, we can hope, outgrow him. By and by, perhaps some discriminating person will slip “Treasure Island” into a grimy hand, and the trick will be turned. They Will Rise While " ■ ’ who rush home from their work with lurid magazines clutched to their breasts, or who sit gaping through the scenes of a vapid picture show, are merely growing up. Many of them wili rise from mediocrity. Their minds will demand something better and finer; their tastes will develop and their good judgment appear. But, you say, suppose they never do? Suppose they go on all their lives liking that sort of thing? Thousands of women do now, you know. Still, I contend, there’s nothing to weep about. If all their lives literature is represented to them in the pages of cheap magazines and sensational movies, at least they will have had something. They will have had a faint breath of romance, even though it be cheap romance. They will have had escape from the sordid montony of their drab days. There Is Hope Their Pegasus may be but a stick horse, but the mere fact that they mount him and set off toward spectacular deeds is heartening. When we consider the death of beauty in the lives of so many of the people of this great land, how can we grudge them deliverance from their shabby world during the short hours they spend thus in romantic mental journeyings? As education spreads, as wealth grows, and as poverty is abolished, the demand for cheap fiction will subside. When the entire population reads something, you may feel sure that better books will be read.

QOLOR, color, color! What a riot of it we have seen this summer—at the plage, in the casino, at the races—every place where society congregates to fritter away the months when it is distinctly unfashionable to be in Paris. (Thereby condemning us “fashion crickets” to appearing to be unfashionable, since the Haute Couture has the unhappy habit of showing us winter fashions during the burningest days of mid-summer. Dog days, we’d call them, were we in New York. How the mannequins manage to lock cool, unruffled and lovely swathed in woolens and furs we never did figure out!

But the years have brought many changes. Modern art has made a deep impression on present-day life —perhaps deeper than we realize at the moment—and the Russian influence, African influence and others have made color a living, vibrant part of the mode. Black and navy blue continue, always will continue, to be extremely important in the really smart ward-robe—-but we can thank modern artists for liberating us from a slav-
