PALM BEACH SOCIETY CROWD IS STRONG FOR SILK SUIT

Charm and Dash Blend in Costume BY HENRI BENDEL Written for NEA Serrlce NEW YORK. Feb. 3.—One Palm Beach style that sets the fashion pace tor spring is the whole-hearted indorsement of the silk suit. It Is the one costume that every woman is sure to buy. It has dash, practicability, and feminine charm. And when warmer days come, it offers cool serenity. These silk suits this year avail themselves of the prodigious range of fabric for their construction. Patterned tie silks, reps, tussahs, pussywillow, silk jersey, crepe de rhlne In designs and plain and flat crepes. There are even satin suits, with chic chiflon and lace blouses tucked Into their skirts. Light Colors Popular Colors may be dark, with navy blue, black and brown the favorites for utility, but flaming tones in brick red, rose, flamingo, sunny yellow. green and pinks and blue are very good. The tendency to dress in light colors is one aspect of the new era in fashions. If prints are used, they show imagination, with one I have in mind showing an amusing allover design in miniature elephants. The skirts of these suits are apt to feature hlpyokes with varied flare below. Pleats all around are not so new as gores, godets and grouped unusual pleatings. Flounces edge some of them. Jackets are short, ranging from hip length to the popular little bolero type. One suit in pink crepe has three-quarters sleeves with puff sleeves of Its little organdy blouse showing below. When suits belt, the Jacket is more apt to be hip lengtlt The suit I mentioned of the conventional print in tiny elephants is a black-white combination, very effective. Its skirt has a deep hip yoke, with box pleats below it and a bolero jacket above that flares out over the hip yoke. This Jacket has a .scarf collar and tailored, long sleeves that flare slightly. The tuck-in blouse of white silk crepe has several little elephants appllqued on to the front of it and it ties in the front of the neck with string ties. For this suit, a while beret is worn, banded across the front of the forehead with back grosgrain ribbon. In the Jacket Mode Rose-quartz printed crepe fashions a novel little jacket suit, used in conjunction with white crepe. The design is a little leaf one, combining a deeper tone with white. The frock has unusual banding in the printed silk over the white crepe. The cardigan coat has a little flat collar, anew feature for this type of coat. A baku straw hat, with slight front brim but flaring triangular sides and back, tops this suit. It is the rose-quartz tone, too, a pleasing grayish pink that promises a vogue.

Matrimonial Delay Laid to Finances BY MARTHA LEE A woman, who married at the tender age of 17, writes to ask the reason why men are postponing marriage until they are so much older than they were in the days when her 19-year-old sweetheart persuaded her that marriage was the thing. Tills woman has a couple or daughters, so I imagine the question was rather pertinent, as far as she was concerned. If a questionnaire could be taken, there is no doubt that three-fourths of the unmarried men would say the reason they Had stuck to the blessed singleness (which they do not think is blessed at all) is because of finances. Living is higher. Girls expect too much these days. Chances for advancement are limited, once a man is married, because he is pretty securely tied down to the town in which he is located. And some of the men will admit frankly that they need more than a small apartment and a couple of pieces of Grand Rapids furniture to make them happy and contented. They will admit they are not satisfied to start out on the humble scale their parents did. Still Wants Home What is the answer? The fact remains that women still wish for a home and husband and children. Men still have the same longing for a wife, home cooked meals, shirts with buttons sewed on and socks that are darned and the joy of seeing their own children growing up. Let's hear what this woman has to say on the subject. Dear Martha Lee—What Is the matter with the young men of tociay? My husband and I were married when he was 19 and I was 17. We were poor, but together we have worked up until we have quite a nice little home and a substantial bank account. We have been happy and contented all these years. We have three children, two girls, one 23 and the other 21. Our son Is 25. And they are all single! The boy says he can not get married because he can not afford to. He has a good position, and is making more a week than my husband was when we had two children to support. He is In love, too. The girl is in love with him. And yet they say they will not get married until he has a certain sum saved. Having Date* The oldest girl has been seeing a boy for several years. They are engaged, but the wedding date has not been set. for the same reason. The younger girl Just has dates, and says she never will fall in love with any boy until he can show himself to be as fine a man as her father.. Os course, In talking over our romance with the children, they think we were the bravest of the brave to venture married life on the sum of money we had. Miss Lee, is it true that times and people have changed so much that money is foremost in their minds? Or are my children and their sweethearts exceptions to the rule? I hate to think that romance has become so mercenary that It must be gauged bv a bank account. K MOTHER HUBBARD. Surely times have changed, and so have people. Some say we of today are more sane, more sensible. Others say our standards of values have degenerated, until we can judge nothing without counting the dollars. Through School Early Here are some of the logical and plausible reasons why the marriageable age has become higher. Boys and girls in your day were through school after the eighth grade. Some went to high school, but not many. That meant that the boys were well started on their jobs before they were out of their ’teens. The gills were ready to marry, because they had learned all about housework in those intervening years, and there was no other work they could do to occupy their time. Now the necessity for education has set the age when boys get started in the business world up to 22 and more. A boy fresh from college can not step Into matrimony with even a margin of safety financially. He is poorly paid and must wait for chances to advance himself the same as any other man just starting out. Secondly, our scale of living has increased. We require more. What we want is more expensive. Your children are not exceptional in their beliefs. In fact I would say they were very standard. Don’t rush the youngsters into matrimony. Perhaps your own marriage has been such an inspiration to them that they wish to take every precaution to keep their own as charming.

Women Are Allowed to Hold Jobs BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON “Women suddenly have exchanged leisure for equality—obviously the most stupid move evej made in history by a privileged class.” writes one Dearing Ward. This, however, is merely Mr. Ward's opinion and, therefore, not necessarily gospel. Many men argue that women were better off in those bygone days when they had what Mr. Ward is pleased to call, leisure. What was this well-known leisure of which he speaks? Mainly ft was cooking, scrubbing, brewing, sewing and cliiid bearing. It is inferred by those, who bewail 6ucli losses, that every nice woman in the old days sat upon a cushion and sewed a fine seam and fed upon strawberries, sugar and cream. A very pretty story. Leisure Not AU Pleasure Asa matter of fact, this magnificent leisure that we once enjoyed, according to reports, Included not only hard and menial work, but Intellectual suppression. The so-called leisured woman had to ask for every cent she spent; she had no recourse from marital misery, and she could not have an avocation. Many a freed female, it Is true finds this equality business a. bit rough. Working in an office from 9 until 5 every day does not seem so nice after all. But let me say this: It's much nicer than slaving in a brother-in-law’s kitchen with no pay envelope on Saturday, which was exactly what many a spinster was obliged to do during those good old days. Just what’s so grand about leisure, provided as Mr. Ward implies, that every woman actually had it? The men do not seem to set much store by it. They hang on to their jobs until death beckons and those who do relinquish them generally die early of ennui. They’re Most Discontented The most dissatisfied and unhappy persons are those who possess boundless leisure. Mr. Ward, and even' other man, knows that the greatest blessing for any Individual is some job that he loves. To sentence women to perpetual leisure, would be to sentence them to perpetual unhappiness. We have no objection to all these ideas about what is good for us, but why can’t the men stick to facts? What Mr. Ward said really amounts to this: That for women to exchange unpaid housework for paid office ■work is stupid. He misuses both terms, leisure and equality. We did not have leisure then and we do not have equality now.
