Adoption of Child Is Tie in Wedlock BY MARTHA LEE In a recent article I made the suggestion to a ‘ family” man without a family that his problem might be solved ii he weie to adopt a child. Today comes a letter from a lonian who disagrees with the solution, which she claims is no solution at all, merely a complication She is opposed so vehemently to the idea, one wonders if her own husband may not be faced with a similar prcblem. Her objections, as stated in the letter, are these: That no child by adoption ever can take the place of one's own child. Who said an adopted child would? This man never has had a child of his own. The chances are he never will. He wants more than anything els? to have a child. The adopted child will fill that need. Beoause he never has had a son or daughter of his own. I fancy the adopted child will fill the void admirably. Second, my correspondent asserts the childless wife can not give the care, attention and love to an adopted child that is required. Feminine instinct, according to all psychologists, is supposed to embrace in an amazing degree the instinct of motherhood. The objection would not be, then, that the mother by adoption would be less devoted, less capable of caring for the child because it was not her own. That objection, especially in this particular instance, would be that the woman did not want children in the first place, and might, for this reason, resent the little fledgling to such an extent she would not allow her natural instincts to assert themselves. The third objection the woman raises to the whole business is that there is too much danger in adopting youngsters. They are so apt, according to Mrs. S.. to turn out bad bargains. She believes there is so little to be gained and so much to lose through adoption of children. An adopted child, given the proper start, the proper environment and care, has just as much a chance of turning out a worthwhile investment as any other child. Asa matter of fact, heredity Is highly overestimated and environment is too much underrated. Adoption of babies, whose parents have been investigated, is no more dangerous or risky than any other well thought-out investment. As for what is to be gained by a childless couple adopting a baby, there is so much more in the ledger on that side than the side of danger and disappointment, there hardly is any comparison. The advantages are the same gained by any couple with a child in their home. Surely the contentment and happiness of a husband or wife to he gained by the introduction of a child into a childless home is worth the small risk one takes in adopting a baby whose parentage has been investigated and found satisfactory.

‘Dressmaker . Type ’ Gowns in Limelight BY FRANCES PAGET • Copyright. 1930. bv Style Sources) ■EW YORK. Oct. 22 —By events the last few weeks, both in arts and New York, the dresstker has been elevated to a permage of great importance. The ?rm “dressmaker type” has been ;sed so often in connection with i Tur and cloth coats, that it seems dd as applied to dresses them- , rives. Intricate cutting anJ more important stiil careful fittings, fine handwork and strongly individualistic touches make the mode what ;it is today, if a gown is bought ready made, which hundreds of i thousands will continue to be, it must have that personal, much- | heralded dressmaker touch. One assumes, with dresses at the topnotch of elegance, which they now are, that the rank and file of | women will have to content them- ; selves with fewer clothes, since there seems no other way of curtailment.

Pity Poor Denver Rich! They’re Working Hard at Playing

Bv United Press ' DENVER, Colo., Oct. 22.—Members of the fabulously wealthy social set of Denver, persons whose fortunes have mushroomed from the oil and gold in these hills, are having a hard time amusing themselves this fall. The social season failed to get started at all in Denver this year, due to cancellation of the famous, glamorous charity ball. Fo* forty-nine years it had been an occasion of much magnificence and grander, grace and charm. It not only was the outstanding event of the season, but it was the season’s start.

Entertain Husbands Members of Indianapolis associate chapter of Kappa Kappa Kappa sorority will entertain their husbands at a Halloween party Friday night at the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. J. McElwee, 1909 Broadway. The hostess will be assisted by Mrs. S. C. Maurer. Mrs. Paul Loser. Mrs. Paul Heddleston and Mrs. J. Tracy Davis. ; the same indignity—it is not only the cheap or novelty furs which j are dyed, but the most aristocratic | qf them. “Real” laces again are with us— j and ndither tftese nor the furs are used sparingly. Velvets are used at every hand and on every head, and cloth dresses are by no means had for the proverbial song, all of which ! makes one put on her thinking cap j —which by the way, should be worn j well back on the head!

No hostess even dreamed of announcing a function until after this : formal inaugural of the season, j This year the ball was canceled jat the last moment. It had begun i to lose prestige, it was explained. ; Society was forced to embrace other diversions. I A ping pong table has been in- > stalled at the great Polo Club. I Jig saw puzzles have staged a comeback in exclusive circles. Jackstraws have been added to the ! pleasure rooms of many fine homes. Archery and darts have j sprung into favor.
