Man-Chaser Unlikely to Win Respect f BY MARTHA LEE The current fashion among young attached lemales last week seemed to be to pine ever some man who didn't want them. Some of them had their brief chance and could not hold the men. Others have seen some chap on the bus or street car. or merely walking down the street, and have decided he's the dream man they’ve thought so much about. Let s take up the uase of the first group. Two girls wrote in to say that they had fallen in love with two fellows they had been having dates with. In both cases the bo>s say they' love the girls. But it so happens there is nothing so cheap as talk. And the fact remains that actions speak so much louder than words that even these girls, who would love to disullusion themselves into believing the boys are not handing thew a line, have begun to wonder if the boys have been honest with them. Some Boys Too Shy Sometimes boys are too shy to tome right out and tell girls they mre terribly keen on them. But the girls can tell. No girl needs to have a boy tell her he likes her awfully if he really does. He show* it plainer than words. Some boys go around telling girls how much they love them, and then turn around and disappear for a couple of weeks or a month. When they get around to it, with a free evening and nothing to do. they call the girls up again, hand them a tale about how busy they've been and get taken back into the fold just like that. Both the fellows act just about the seme. One girl began to doubt the true love of her sweetheart when alter making all kinds of plans to spend the vacation with her and her family at the lake, he up 6 and goes on a trip with a "gang” from the office. Desires to Meet Man Perhaps the fact is that neither of these fellows was worth holding, but the fact remains that the men are not in love with the girls, and that should be enough for the girls. A girl who allows a fellow to treat her shabbily, a girl who pursues a fellow who dodges her, either has no pride, no self respect, or else she likes to be mistreated. And as long as she acts like that no fellow ever will like her very much. As for the girls who have centered their dreams on some fellow who passed by, they are practically impossible. One girl writes that she has fallen desperately <to quote her) in love with a young man she sees on the bus every morning. She does not know who he Is, what he does, what sort of a chap he is or anything about him. She wants to know how she can meet him, as she does not feel life will be complete until she does. Poor Meeting Place She probably is about 16. I have no sure fire methods of meeting strangers on busses. In fact, a bus seems, next to a street car. as poor a place as I can imagine of meeting any one. The man may be married. He may be engaged. He may be a fine fellow or he may be a rotter. He may have strange ideas about girls who scrape up acquaintances with strange fellows on busses. It would be better for the girl to j say she would never marry until she j had met and gone with Buddy Rogers or William Haines. Because | they are far enough away that she j would not make a sap out of herself i staring at them on busses in the : morning.

PARIS. July 21. N* then she got all fed up with the studio that faces the cemetery and “has a fine north light,” meaning nocturnal charm, and then she had a temperamental fit and slept for three whole days and night and the Dah-ray copy didn't get written or mailed or anything and then she woke up in Alana’s nice sunshiny apartment in Montmartre and—no, she didn’t yell for a beefsteak, but she did yell for a typewriter. Ol’ leaping bronco to the fore! Ye gods, it’s been months now since I had to struggle with this portable—oh, yes—it's a typewriter all right, when it goes. I only wish our wild Irish printer would just print this once the way it’s written, but he wouldn’t insult his typebox or whatever it is he prints with. Anyhow, it's midnight and there is a warm, golden moon. And only I and the moon are high, high up over the busy, noisy world, whilst the others olay below us in the heart of Paris’ night life. (And I’d better get down to my fashions, ol' lady moon—so au revoir for awhile .) a a a And first of ail, let me ask you if you wanna send a two-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for the leaflet felling you how to make those cunning three-piece Chinese lor ging pajama suits—like the one Alana brought me from Hollywood—and someone brought her from China. I'm lolling around in it right now, and you have no idea what a salubrious effect it has on my waekened condition—why, I can even finish this day’s collom, just thinking about how I must look—to the moon. n n n THE woman who is weary of browns and beige can be assured that dark reds are smart for the coming season—and I think, a bit more becoming.

Larger Hats Being Worn for Summer NEW YORK. July 21.-*lt is hardly surprising that hats are subject to the contagion of elaboration. With everything else a woman wears being elaborated to some extent, millinery could not be immune. Larger hats came in with June and its many occasions for somewhat formal dress. They are the most approved type, with printed crepes and chiffons, and promise to be carried over to the not so distant seasons when velvets may be worn. The smartest hatters still sponsor felt for travel and for such sports clothes as are made of wool. Milliners, however, assure us that the fastidious woman wants her hat to be fashioned of a material identical with her frock, which is one reason for the number of hats of cotton broadcloth, linen, pique and organdie. Crowns still are shallow and brims have become angular, even square in some cases. Long-sided models, poke shapes and capeiines are also the vogue. Obviously the baby bonnet and helmet type of hats continue to be seen on all sides, the former in lacy or transparent straws. One importer gives as his opinion that there is a possibility of a revival of-wreath effects and other garniture belonging to a more romantic area. At the moment, he- ever, flowers are used with restrait and always in flat arrangements.

Torrid Days Start Reign of Prints BY FRANCES PAGET (Copyright. 1930. by Style Sources) NEW YORK, July 21.—1f, every year, at the time when stylists are puzzling over the prospects of printed dresses for the ensuing spring and summer, just one day of extremely hot weather such as New York experienced almost the first day of May could be sent down, they could shake off all their worry. It needs only the first spell of mild weather for some women to wear their printed silk clothes, but a hint of summer torridness drives all to prints, as was so vociferously proved so recently, and which should prove something to the uncertain ones. Navy Ground Liked There is no question that the vogue of dark ground printed silks precipitates the season of prints—if one is old-fashioned enough to still think of prints exclusively for summer—but this year even though costumes in solid black or navy were representative of the majority, it almost could be said that the remaining quota was filled by printed frocks similar to the point of having a black or navy ground. The most generally worn type-of pattern was the medium-sized floral splotch of white or cream, sometimes with a tiny dab of color, but more often without the color. They are made in styles just like the plain silks, and this year are disposed to confine themselves to dress alone rather than in the ensemble with matching jacket as we had last year. They’re High Style A favorite and recurrent topic is whether prints are high style or otherwise. The answer is “Yes” for all sides of the question, judging by the way they are worn by every type of woman just as soon as it is warm. The feeling that so many women have and do not question—that prints have something to do with “keeping cool”—is one of the strong factors in prolonging their vogue.

Family Menus

BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer There probably are no two more popular vegetables for salads than tomatoes and cucumbers. All through the year we use them on “state” occasions. But during the summer months they become plentiful and cheap and we use them in some form or combination nearly every day. When market for tomatoes, there are several points to keep in mind. The composition of tomatoes makes them a tender vegetable and heir to many plant diseases which spoil them. Many of the defects are perfectly obvious, but some are not so noticeable and must be searched for. Shape, color, smoothness and firmness must all be considered in choosing tomatoes. Avoid Ruffly Kind Round or slightly heart-shaped, perfectly formed and not too “ruffly” around" the stem—that’s the shape to choose. The color should be a good red. While there are many varieties of tomatoes ranging from a rosy red to a deep scarlet, a definite, clear color is essential. A yellowish tinge indicates tomatoes which were immature when picked, and the vegetable will be tough and tasteless. Smooth, glossy skins are desirable. Wrinkled or shriveled skins are an indication of inferior quality. Firmness should be watched for. Often tomatoes of good color and shape, with smooth glossy skins, are partly hollow inside and are most disappointing when sliced. A hollow tomato yields easily under pressure and gives a slightly hollow sound when tapped with the fingers. It is also light in weight for its size. " Rot Easily Overlooked Stem-rot is overlooked easily because it is almost the same color as the stem-end itself. As this condition spreads rapidly, it should be watched carefully. Black spots on the skin are not desirable, for while they start as skin blemishes they affect the flesh underneath, making dry, hard spots. Cucumbers are less perishable and their defects are recognized quickly. Color, shape, and firmness are tbe deciding factors. Slicing cucumbers should be green for at least two-thirds their length, long in proportion to diameter, and not too tapering toward the ends. Mrs. Dipper Hostess Marion county chapter, American War Mothers, will hold a business meeting at 1:30 Tuesday at the home of Mrs. George Dipper, 2811 North Delaware street. Mrs. E. May Hahn, president, will preside. Business Meeting Set Members of Alpha Lambda Chi sorority will hold a business meeting tonight at their summer cottage on White riler.

Maternity’s Death Toll Called Blot BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Half a dozen people throughout a small area of the country die of what supposedly is psittacosis, or parrot fever, and we become extremely excited. Pets are shown the front door and driven out to starve by loving mistresses. The nation pants with apprehension. Yet our maternity death rate is the highest of any civilised nation of the earth. Does that knowledge upset us and send us into throes of concern? Does it even bring the blush of shame to our cheeks? Apparently r.ot. We sit calmly by while thousands of mothers die annually of deaths that are preventable and that are prevented in most other Christian countries. This neglect is a hangover from those ignorant days when it was considered a little wicked to give women anaesthetics in child birth. They were supposed to suffer for their part in the tempting of noble old Adam. Fatuously, we repeated the saying “let nature take its course” and nature did, as she always will if nothing is done to stop her. This condition is the blackest blot on America’s escutcheon. Heart disease may be increasing; the cancer evil may be growing, and parrot fever may be making its appearance. But these are diseases over which we do not yet have much control. We have not learned how to cope successfully with them. But we do know that child birth should not be dangerous if proper precautions are taken and proper pre-natal care given. We know it is possible to cut to a very small figure the death rate from maternity. We know it, because other nations have done it. Yet we fight our prohibition battles and get all worked up over our literary censorship, and run ourselves to death taking care of hogs and cows and arise heroically in defense of the innocent parrot. Mothers who are poor we fling unconcernedly into the industrial malestrom to sink or swim as they can. The sum expended in most states for maternal welfare is pitifully inadequate.
