Boy Craze ■ Makes Girls Lose Charm BY MARTHA LEY I have a very dear friend whom I like so much, but I can not understand her,’’ writes a little high school sophomore. The friend, by the way, is another girl. ‘We have been neighbors since we were children, and have played and studied together for years. But ince last summer she seems so different. "I always have liked her best because she was so without pretense. She has plenty of spirit, but I could always count upon her to understand and always to be the same. ' But since this summer, when we both were away on vacation, she is different. She is the same when we are alone, but just let a sign of a boy be visible and she is another person entirely. She acts so different, sort of cheap. I can't make it out. I don’t like her as well, and yet I want to continue our friendhip.” Few Retain Poise The youngster Is just getting r peek at 'be metamorphosis some Kiris go through when they shed their swaddling clothes and become young ladies. It often is a painfui process for those who have to stand by and look on. "Some girls pass through this “silly tage” without any more than a few scars. Others continue through thirty or forty years with the same llliness as their chief weapon of charm. It must be awfully satisfying for a mother to see her daughter grow from girlhood into the “young lady” tage without losing all her dignity and poise. So f ew girls manage that :taco 0 [ thh.,.3 gracefully. Affected by Boys It 15 the stage when girls become conscious of boys, not as curl pullers and teasers, but as tentative dates” and dancing partners, that hey start this tittering and giggling .that is so obnoxious, not only to their own parents, but to other girls of their own age who have managed a difficult time skillfully. These girls, who change like a chameleon every time a boy steps into the picture, usually are given to little feminine tricks, once they become interested in boys, that baffle their friends and turn them into enemies. Girls of this type usually consider the attention of a boy above the most enduring friendship with a girl. Deserves a Chance Sometimes they change. Sometimes they do not. Sometimes they get used to the idea that boys are i dates and dancing partners, and later prospective husbands and readjust their sense of values back where they belong. Those who do not change, who ; continue to count the attention of men above the friendship of any j woman, usually are the ones who j end by breaking up homes and find- ; ing themselves alone and miserable, j because of their unscrupulousness. The attitude of a young girl usually can be attributed to the fact that she simply isn’t going through j the “silly” stage very gracefully, j She may outgrow it. At least she j deserves a chance, after as long and j successful a friendship as the little ! sopohomore describes.

Assisting hostesses will be Mrs. Leslie McClean, Mrs. T. E. Hannaka and Mrs. George Stiles.

Who Clouted Ma? Aimee Did Aimee Didn't, Argument Runs

Tbiv Iv the third of four stories on the remarkable rise of Aimee Semple McPherson and her mother and co-ev anrelist. Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, forrainc a most absorbing narratire-bioaraphy of two unusually interesting women. BY DON ROBERTS NEA Service Writer (OoDvrlvht. 1930. bv NEA Service. Ire.) LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24.—Where does Aimee Semple McPherson’s congregation of 12,000 r'me from? They are devout, sincere middle-class people from Los Angeles and i vicinity. Practically none of them is wealthy and some are poor. But ! their faith in Sister is unbounded tnd they give cheerfully at her call and pray with and for her. . In the “Declaration of Faith” signed by all members upon entering, it is stipulated that if any member disagrees about the conduct of the temple or its policies he or she shall suffer automatic dismissal. Yet : they sign, cheerfully. The implicit devotion of Aimee’s flock was clearly demonstrated during Sister’s recent reported “dangerous breakdown” and “near blindness.” Thousands prayed daily for her recovery as they eagerly awaited bulletins from her bedside. The fact that Ma Kennedy, from her own sick bed where she rested with a badly damaged nose, declared Aimee merely had undergone a face-lifting operation, didn’t shake their confidence in the least. •

Nor did they believe it when Ma charged that her damaged nose had been broken by Aimee’s fist during a fight at Angelus temple. They chose to accept Aimee’s explanation that Ma, in a fit of anger, had fallen on her nose and broken it—and let it go at that. a a a WHEN Sister is at the temple the crowds are larger, the collections fat and there are many conversions. Healing meetings are conducted by assistant pastors, so great is the demand. Aimee speaks two or three times a week at the night meetings, addresses various classes almost daily and occupies the pulpit on Sunday. Her Sunday sermons are spectacles, frequently illustrated with scenery and living characters. Tableaus are given in which bobbed-haired angels with tinseled paper wings play a prominent part. There is music . . . lots of It and many kinds. A large band plays before the services and an orchestra alternates. Stirring nymns are sung, there are marimba bands, cornet solos, saxophone selections and other instruments. For Aimee’s view is that it is not wrong to play any instrument in church, if said instrument is dedicated to God’s worship. ana THE fervor of Sister's ecstatic religious doctrines as propounded from her pulpit with all the fire and enthusiasm of a political speaker, is evidenced by men and women converted in an excited, raptured state. Prostrations under the stress of her emotional stimulus are not infrequent; she plays at will on the emotions of her audience. All the while she is making vivid gestures to hammer home her meaning. Sister gets positively lyrical at times, especially when she is describing her conversion to the Four Square Gospel that she preaches. For example, this: “As the wonder, the power, the majesty of it cascaded o’er the battlements of glory, filling, flooding,

enveloping my very being, the fingers of the Spirit swept the aeolian harp strings of my heart and evoked a grand and wondrous melody like the sound of a great amen.” She shouts, she whispers, she exhorts, she pleads, she even sings. In the middle of a sermon she may suddenly cry: Sing! Everybody sing! You up there in the top gallery, sing!” They do sing, loud and lustily. a a a \ IMEE’S Jesus is a personal one, a sad-eyed man, dusty with the grime of Galilee’s unpaved roads, footsore, weary and humble. She portrays Him not as an image, but as a friend. So she humanizes other biblical characters. Here is an excerpt from one of her sermons about Dorcas—a woman who was raised from the dead by Peter at Joppa, and became a friend of the distressed—which illustrates the naive but fetching McPherson manner: “Methinks I see a red-headed, freckle-faced, pug-nosed, bare-foot-ed little boy come limping up the road, calling 'Dorcas, Dorcas, where are you?’ “ ‘Whatjs it, darling?’ Dorcas replies. “ ’Oh, Dorcas, I just smashed my toe something awful down the road. It's bleeding and I know I am going to lose my toenail. Could you fix It for me, Dorcas?’ ‘ ‘Oh, you poor little dear; come right luto the kitchen this minute,’ Dorcas would say to that little boy.” Thus Aimee makes the characters of the Bible talk in the language her hearers know. a a a SWAYED by the magic of her personality, Sister’s followers cling to her with an intense devotion that is astigmatic, if not entirely blind. Their faith began when Aimee, in her early days here, “cured” the sick and the lame with the healing powers of faith at street corner

meetings; it endured when Aimee was “kidnaped” several years ago and “miraculously” restored to them in a desert shack; it was still firm the other day when Ma Kennedy charged that Sister had slammed her in the nose. There have been so many conflicting stories about this latter episode that the only thing that is clear is the evident—something did happen to Ma’s nose, something terrible. All the rest is still In dispute. a a a TT all hooks up with the internal—and eternal—game of politics as played within the inner circles of the temple. When Ma was ousted from the temple control after her row with Aimee over the fired bandmaster, she went to Seattle where she soon figured in a breach of promise suit with an aged minister. When this suit was dismissed, Ma and Sister appeared to have made up and Ma came back to Los Angeles, welcomed at the station by a delegation from Angelus Temple with a brass band, many flowers and Sister. But she was not the same Ma who had been reduced to a minority on the board before her departure.* During her absence, the Echo Park Evangelistic Association had met and eliminated her from the three trustees entirely. Besides Mrs. McPherson and Mrs. Schaffer, Mrs. Harriet Jordan now composed

# * the directors. Ma, the old commander, was a mere orderly. a tt u 'T'HIS didn’t set well with Mother Kennedy, who had run things during the lean days and wanted to run them again in the fat. Such became evident when recent ’ breakdown’’ was reported and Ma denounced it as a fraud. Under questioning, Ma amplified things a bit. Aimee had had a face lift, said Mother Kennedy. So had Mother Kennedy. Aimee was jealous of Ma s youthful appearance and therefore had straightened out a right hook on Mother's revamped nose and mashed it all out of shape. .This choice explanation aroused Aimee. From her hospital bed. she said Mother was not truthful; that Ma had simply been weak from her face-lifting operation and had fallen to the floor, smacking the proboscis lustily. “Aimee Is being led wrongly by those women at the temple,” Ma shot right back. She hinted, delicately, that Aimee’:; face lifting process was planhec to be another “miracle,” when Aimee appeared before the congregation as a newer and younger Sister. “You see,” Ma explained, “Sister believes that every-one is an instrument of the Lord that may be used if His purposes are to be accomplished. “According to her philosophy, a plastic surgeon, by making her more beautiful, would be helping along the Lord’s work wtih a modern miracle of science.” NEXT: Angelus Temple as a business organization . . . “God's Star Saleswoman” turns wholesaler.
