WOMEN WARNED THAT THEY NEED MORE STYLE SENSE
Longer Skirt for Evening Is Approved Br BOSETTF NX A Writer PARIS, Jan. 7.—While fully approving of the long skirt for evening wear. Madame Jenny’s midseason collection shows a very slight lengthening of the hemline so far aa practical day clothes are concerned. ‘•The women who raise the most objections to long dresses, stated Madame Jenny, “are those who completely have misunderstood the ideas of we style creators. "None of us ever meant women to wear ankle-length skirts to walk, shop or play golf. For such occupations the modern woman, obviously, demands freedom of movement. "Freedom'’ Isn't Banished "Women, however, can still be unirameled in their movements without being forced to wear the extremely short skirts they did. A few inches more to allow for knee covering will leave them just as much freedom of movement and look infinitely more distinguished.’’ According to Madame Jenny, the new fashions call for a much greater “style sense ’ in women than ever before. Uniformity of dress, fortunately, Is a thing of the past, but infinitely more discernment will be required in the future in order to be faultlessly dressed. Those lacking in this quality will always make mistakes, such as wearing a chiffon afternoon gown under'a fur coat for a morning’s shopping or acain a dress with an uneven hemline with a straight coat. Corsets Won’t Return All these errors of taste were less noticeable with past styles, excepting that such women invariably would favor shorter and narrower skirts than need be. As for the hue and cry raised regarding the return of the oldfashioned boned corset, this again is a misinterpretation, according to Madame Jenny. She has contended all along, even in the days when most women discarded them, that not even the most athletic woman could afford to do without some sort of support if she wanted her clothes to set faultlessly Her mannequins, therefore, have been compelled to wear properly fitted girdles, but these, however, have no relation whatever to the constricting, rigid corset of old.

Woman’s Day
BY ALLENE SUMNER THE partners for an ideal mar- i riage are a girl of 18 and a man j of 40. according to Dr. John B. Watson. sponsor of behaviorism. His belief in the deferred matri- ; j menial venture for a man is based on the theory that a man. that is. i ! the average man can't afford a wife before that time. He believes in a youthful mar--1 riage for women because they are at the height of their beauty from i 16 to 30 and they should then, if j ever, catch the rich papa, i As you look around among the happy and unhappy man-and-wife . combinations you know, can you name one that is successful, just j because the wife is beautiful and the man has a high earning ca- ; pacity? j Or one that Is unhappy because the wife isn't beautiful and the | husband isn't rich? I can’t. There is always some j other reason. j Often I have felt that life should be easier for women who are beautiful. And I have often felt that the young man who inherits a few j houses and lots and a business from his father certainly has the breaks on his side. a a a Beauty Isn’t Cure-All But honestly, I have never known a beautiful woman, or even a fairly comely one, who escaped anything that was coming to her just treause she happened to have melting eyes and a creamy complexion, even though she may have skimmed off more of the froth of life than a less lovely person. Nor is it my observation that the man who is always able to pay all the bills, escapi- other indebtedj nesses to life. There are few enough couples that you can point to as ideally happy, but there are many who manage to keep out of the divorce court, and who in spite of tiffs, money shortages, occasional words and sometimes even broken dishes. ! really are fairly well adjusted most of the time, and wouldn’t walk out on each other if they had a chance. And nearly all of these went through experiences together that tested and tempered them, and called for mutual compromises—that had nothing to do with salary or beauty. m m a Riches—and Reno I have known several couples who went through poverty together very
Reasoning Is Best Weapon for Mother BY MARTHA LEE The first of the year always Is a good time to do a little checking back. Usually that inventory will include merely the incidents, changes, tragedies, happinesses and heart breaks of the year which just has been completed. That is just barely scratching the surface of things, if you want to know. The years are too closely linked together, and as a consequence, the changes and happenings in individual lives, are too converged to really stand out significantly tiy themselves. One day slips into another, forming a perfect link. The incident of one day fits in with the incidents of the next in such a w-ay that the changes, so gradual, are difficult to depict, unless one can go back to a definite turning point. Twelve years or more ago, the matrons of America were startled into consciousness with the appearance of anew creature —the flapper. She cut off her skirts to her hitherto unexposed knees. She got out the scissors and whacked off the unsightly “figure eight’’ her mother had to her with other signs and symbols of womanhood, namely corsets, discreet ankle-length skirts, bone hairpins of imposing size, golden oak bedroom suites, the waltz, and the idea that men are men and women are put on this earth for the express purpose of getting one for one's husband and then doing the best she can, in a nice, womanly, gentile fashion to make his home interesting enough that he would want to stay in it at least five nights a week. She started out with a bang. She hardly was recognizable from the women matrons crossed the streets to avoid. She painted as vividly. The matrons threw up their hands in holy horror and wondered where it all would end. Rocking Cradles That was twelve years ago. Now one really can look back and find out where it all ended. Remember back until you can think of two or three of the most daring “flappers” of that day. They are. for the most part, at the age old job of rocking a cradle, making out a budget and trying to keep a husband happy. They now are the mothers of young daughters and sons, about whose future they already are worrying, the same as their parents were at the time when they “revolted.” They are looking at the “younger generation,” those boys and girls who were toddling about wffien they were shocking the natives by taking a swig out of a flask occasionally. They are saying precisely the same thing. “What's the world coming to? Where will it all end?” j The hazards have increased. There are more places of so-called 1 amusement these days than there were twelve years or so ago. The pace, which just was being set then, has increased as rapidly as the rate of speed of an automobile and airplane. Let's face facts. There is drinking and such among the younger set. These things are dangerous for the morals of young folks. But, along with all the bad points has come a possibility for those who are so tempted, to reason out the results. Things that once were whispered in the privacy of a darkened boudoir now are available as authentic information. The youth of today does not step into maturity quite as blindly as the boys and girls of 1915. Never Forbid If I had a daughter or son. Just j ready to set forth. I should not lecture on the results of doing this and that. I would reason and show examples of what had brought me to that form of reasoning. I should not forbid. I would let my daughter see how really unattractive and disgusting a drunken person is. I would show' her reasons w’hy promiscuous petting is disastrous to her future. She is of an age where analogies are comprehensible. I would give her those to meditate upon. No one wants to buy an article that has become soiled with handling. And if one does buy it, the reason usually is it is a bargain. Cheaper than a fresh new article would be. I should invest her with pride in herself. Not silly false pride, but the kind of pride that keeps selfrespect and self-esteem above all else. Invariably, a woman who holds ; her own character in high esteem will be held in high esteem by others. Hold Fraternity Meeting First of a series of monthly meetings of the Indianapolis Alumnae Association of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity was held Monday night at the Butler chapter house. Forty members attended. J. A. Harris | president, presided. Following the | business session cards were played j The February meeting will be in ' charge of Bruce H. Mclntosh. O. E.

well. They scraped and connived to buy anew parlor rug and have a week's vacation at the seashore, and they were happy if not always solvent. Then when the husband got his stride, made a good income and they didn't have to worry any more they each went their way, and finally one or the other got to Reno. Incidentally, I have known girls who were colorless at 18 and not matrimonial prizes by any means who developed themselves and used their heads, and at 30 they amounted to something, and had matrimonial opportunities galore. No. you can’t be so arbitrary about life and love. Thank goodness Mother Nature, who planned, or maybe didn't plan things, allowed us a little more latitude for adventure than modem psychologists permit.

Family Menu
BY SISTER MARY. It’s up to the cook to serve steaming hot chowders and savory roasts to combat the cold days. But along with this hearty fare vegetables and fruits must not be overlooked. Good brands of canned vegetables and fruits are preferable to stale and wilty ‘fresh” ones. Root vegetables are important at this time of year. Their bulk, especially. plays an important part in a diet rich in meats. In order to use a little less meat, try the "mock ducks” and “stuffed" steaks and chops which are popular in many homes. The dishes are savory and satisfying with a decided meat flavor, but they reduce the amount of meat to a minimum compatible with well-being. The following menu is ideal for a cold winter day. The dinner menu is particularly appealing with a salad which is snappy and crisp and a pie spicy and flagrant. Breakfast—Stewed dried peaches, cereal, cream, eggs, poached in milk on toast, extra toast, milk, coffee. Luncheon—Corn chowder, croutons, raisin and orange salad, graI:am rolls, rice souffle milk, tea. Dinner—Stuffed epareribs, southern stewed potatoes, combination salad, rye bread, apple pie de luxe, milk, coffee. B B B Stuffed Spareribs Two or three pounds spareribs, 2 cups stale bread crumbs, cup minced onion, Vi cup minced celery leaves, 1 tart apple, salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons melted butter, hot milk. Wipe meat with a soft cloth wrung out of cold water. Trim off excess fat and crack bones across into serving lengths. Fill with the stuffing and bring the edges together. Tie firmly with a strong cord. Rub with 2 tablespoons flour sifted with 2 teaspoons salt and % teaspoon pepper. Place in rack in roaster and add Vi cup boiling water. Roast in a hot oven for two hours.

Why Fat Men Stay Fat t “The trouble with me, and I guess this applies to 99% of the men who are putting on weight, I didn’t have the energy or “pep” to keep it off. Lost all interest in any healthy activity and just lazed around accumulating the old pounds until I got that “Kruschen feeling.” Start taking Kruschen Salts—that’s the common-sense way to reduce—but don’t take them with the idea that they possess reducing qualities in themselves. This is what they do—they clean out the impurities in your blood by keeping the bowels, kidneys and liver in splendid working shape and fill you with a vigor and tireless energy you’d most forgotten had existed. As a result instead of planting yuurself in an easy ebair every free momenf and letting fiabby fat accumulate you fe£i an urge for activity thfft keeps you moving around doing the things you’ve always wanted to do and needed to do to keep you in good condition. Then watch ftie pounds slide off! Kruschen .Salts are the up-to-date Fountain of Youth. Take one-half teaspoonful in a glass of hot or cold water tomorrow morning and every morning—and If they don't change your whole idea about reducing, go back and get the small price you paid for fhem. Get an S5 cent bottle of Kruschen Salts—lasts 4 weeks — at Hook's Dependable Drug Stores or any progressive druggisr anywhere In the world. It’s the Little Daily Dose that does it. —Advertisement.

PARIS, Jam 7. npHE back decolletage is by x no means entirely demode, but it just simply isn’t as unanimous as it once was, if you see what we mean. But pay attention to your choice of a FRONT decolletage. There is one rather extraordinary front decolletage that is seen hither and you hereabouts —a very slender V, which goes, well, er-r-r-r, too far down the front to be so very nice! This is not to be construed, however, as an indication of either the mode or of very good taste, although it is just odd enough to be interesting if one doesn’t mind being slightly theatrical and startling in appearance. Os course, it couldn't even be worn by the theatrical-minded unless the wearer were very, very slender. But, the front decolletage that shows a nice roundness of neck and bosom is new and can be quite elegant. Look, then, to your evening gowns and see if they are turn-about-able, as well as length-enable and what-not. o a a FOR your information or amusement! Jenny made it, and we | are still trying to find out if any ; one bought it, much less wore it! | And it was a lovely dress, too, all all-white satin and delicate gold braid.

Husbands Do Just as They Please BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Texas Guinan. night club hostess, advises wives to be leas strict with husbands. * “Let them do as they please occasionally," begs this notable dame. Ha! It is to laugh. If husbands aren’t doing as they please, what keeps Miss Guinan’s clubs open? Does she fancy that the married men who visit them do so a-t the instigation of fond and generous wives? I'm for freedom for husbands. It* the only sensible position to take. You might just as well permit them graciously to do as they like, because they will do it anyaway and that always leaves the wife looking somewhat foolish. Just a Delusion There is a general delusion extant that the American man is treated wretchedly at home, and that he is tucked safely under his lady's thumb. The fact that is not so well known apparently is that, generally, the man who appears most tame merely is assuming a good pose. Beware of the too meek husband. Look out for the fellow who seems utterly subdued. Nine times out of ten he is an adept at deceiving and hi* tongue is skilled in lying. I grant you that he has become like that because his wife did not have sense enough to realize that trying to boss a husband never gets a woman anywhere. The police system does not work in marriage. Men who have to watch their step too carefully and invent excuses eveTy time they want a night out usually are the kind who are up to mischief. Subtle Humor Therefore, it's most subtle humor, this plea for more freedom for married men by our big-hearted Miss Guinan. Listen! Men, taken as a whole, do exactly as they please. If a man does the things his wife prefers, it’s because he also prefers them. If he engages in animated conversation with his spouse, he likes to talk to her and is not doing so from a sense of duty. If he accompanies her, protesting, to parties it is because he figures it might be a pretty good thing for business. Don’t you ever believe that American men are such fools that they will let their women run them. Another thing: The louder they talk about being hen-pecked the more you can bet that they are out having a big time. Chapter Meeting Set Alpha chapter, Theta Sigma Delta sorority, will meet at 8 Thursday night at the home of Miss Rosalind Blanchard, 440 North Temple street.
