FLORAL DESIGNS LEAD NEW STYLES IN WALL PAPERS
French Type Predominant for Spring Br JULIA BLANBHARD NEA fcervlee Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Decor atve wall papers are in style again saia the Frenchler their inspiration *he more in vogue they are, judging rom the new wall papers just out. Not that there is a return to the over-ornateness that we usually associate with French interiors, but 'here is something inimitably feminine and Paris looking about many of the new papers. And a modern restraint in them makes them aU the lovelier. Metal papers are anew note, in silvers, bronze, sold, with all kinds of modernistic dainty stripes in self-tones enrichng them. ’ These papers are distinctly good with the modem rooms. Floral Designs Gilore Floral designs are in the majority. But such restraint as many of these show! For the living room and dining room there are quantities of patterns in leaf design. Some cool greens, others combining the leaf design with the color of occasional flowers. But none of them has the old-fashioned garlands of leaves and flowers. Rather it is a modernistic leaf motif that is the popular leaf design this spring. Victorian papers seem to have been in the minds of some designers of new wall paper. Victorian scrolls and roses are seen to go with rooms that have the atmosphere of those days in their furniture. Background of Jade Green Among the modem papers one new design has a background of very soft jade green with enlarged snowflakes, arranged far apart in geometric design, lacy and transparent. It is an admirable background for a dining room. A silver paper marked in geometric planes is made for breakfast rooms done in modern manner. For a man’s room or a living room where many rich colors are used, there is a modern design that uses the leaf motif, but autumn colors, rich rust, gold and some green are set against a beige background. For halls and formal rooms there are many new scenic papers. One of the new patterns is a design of a modernistic interpretation of a roods, with a hunting scene in soft colored silhouette, dogs in full run intent on prey. Nothing heavy about this, yet it is a colorful, zestful design, Wisteria Paper Is Rich Pastel toned papers or designs in pastel colors against white are included in the new range of patterns. One of the loveliest of these is a white background with pond lilies on it, in the most delicate of yellow, with green leaves, or in that gorgeous pale lavender they often appear in. One of the richest of the new papers, and one of the most feminine designs, is a wisteria paper, in lovely mulberry tones, with the background faintly barred, almost like Venetian blinds. Many of the new papers are washable and usable for nurseries, kitchens, breakfast nooks and so on. The day for too obvious zoo pictures around the nursery seems to be past. Many of the papers designed for the children have flowers in gay color, just like the grown-ups, and done with a modern touch, to please the youngest of the moderns. Wool Fringe Trimming If you’re making new linen or crash overdraperies, a smart trimming is wool fringe. And you can And it in colors that harmonize with the design in your drapery materials. Club to Give Dance Christian Park Dramatic Club will give a dance Thursday night at the Community house. Meeting Is Slated Beta chapter, Omega Chi sorority, will meet at 8 tonight at the Marott.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
PERHAPS the most interesting experiment now going on in the world is that of the Soviet government in Russia. There the 4,500,000 minority rules a vast country of 150,000,000 souls. The government has pronounced for atheism. Children are taught to hate organized religion. Yet in Russia today no baby is illegitimate. The United States of ours is a Christian land. We teach our children to believe in God and to respect the church. And we have multitudes of babies for whom no man is legally responsible. If this proves anything at all, it is that the righteous may learn from the sinner. There is no greater blot upon our civilization or our Christianity than the manner in which we treat babies bom out of wedlock. a u tt THE father who neglects or abandons his legitimate child rightfully is held up to scorn. But many a fine fellow proudly walks our streets heedless of the one, two or half a dozen children he has fathered and for whom he takes no concern whatever, while he is admired by a respectable citizenship. Orphanages are running over with babies who literally have been thrown away by their parents: The reason for this? It is because we have built up a false social conscience. It is because we have twisted conceptions of what is right and what is wrong. It is because we treat with more kindness the- girl who leaves her baby on somebody’s doorstep than the valiant soul who keeps hers and tries to make a living for it. Before the God whom we profess to worship, all babies are equal. How amazing, therefore, that in a Christian land we permit these unfair and unjust discriminations. Is it conceivable that to an innocent baby Soviet Russia is more humane than is godly and democratic America? McCrea Guild to Meet McCrea Guild will hold a social meeting at the home of Mrs. H. J. Stombaugh, 3021 East Michigan street, at 7:30 tonight.

What’s in Fashion?
Dresses With Matching Jackets Directed. By AMOS PARRISH
Three fashionable Types of Jackets
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Jacket dresses and more jacket* dresses and still more jacket dreses! That’s what you’re going to see this spring morning, noon and night—hundreds of ’em. Sprightly looking costumes and one of the most-in-fashion dresses you can wear. Sometimes they’re printed. Sometimes they’re plain. Sometimes they’re a combination of plain color and print. Choose which ever you like best. The fact that the dress has its own matching jacket makes it smart and in fashion. It s a practical fashion. In the daytime, when you don’t like to go on the street coatless, but when, it’s too warm for a coat, the little jacket gives you the finished” look you want . . . almost the look of a suit. In the evening, the dress is formal without the jacket and less formal with it on. You wear it to dinner with the jacket and remove the jacket for dancing. Most of these jackets with daytime dresses have full length sleeves, but some of them have the newer three-quarter length. And many evening dress jackets have
oMmm 1
The Bolero on an Evening Dress short sleeves in the smart new cap or elbow lengths. There are several types of jackets that belong with these jackets dresses . . . enough types so anybody can find one that’s becoming. Closes With Surplice Line One very easy to wear type is the jacket that closes with a diagonal or surplice line and is belted at the normal waistline. Two of
Cosmopolitan quartet from the Cosmopolitan School of Music, composed of Mesdames Virginia Lane, Engene Richardson, Lucy Beacham and Hazel Farmer, and directed by Mrs. Lillian La Mon, will also sing. The Day of Prayer Observance will include an all-day program at the First Baptist church Friday, beginning with prayer services on the general subject, “Ye Shall Be My Witnesses.” Mrs. Ralph J. Hudelson is in charge of arrangements for the evening services, assisted by Mesdames TANARUS, W. Grafton, George Burkhardt, Missionary Social Union; Miss Mary Cecil Nease, and Wales Smith, Butler imiversity; Miss Beatrice Casterline, Arthur Rhodes and Delmar Hubert, Indiana Central;' Misses Florence E. Lanham, Gertrude Gamlin and Ruth S. Milligan, Y. W. C. A., and E. H. Ehlers, C. E. Guthrie, M. D. Barrett and L. L. Artis, Y. M. C. A. The Cosmopolitan Club, an international organization of young men and women, will attend in a body, as will the United Presbyterian Young People. ART APPRECIATION CLASS WILL MEET Art Appreciation class of the Irvington Union of Clubs will meet at 10 Friday at the library. Mrs. .H. B. Burnet will talk on Indiana painters. Beta Tau to Convene Beta Tau sorority will meet at 8 tonight at the home of Misses Alice and Caroline Nickel, 29 North Riley street.
the jackets illustrated are of this general type, though differentiated by their details. The jacket at the left is entirely collarless; it’s fastened with a belt; has three-quarter, bell-shaped sleeves; and is quite short, giving the effect of a short flared peplum below the belt. The jacket at the right is collarless in back, but has little revers in the front; it’s fastened with a soft sash instead of tailored belt; has full-length sleeves; and is longer than the other jacket. This longer surplice line jacket is better for the figure that isn’t slim through the hips. The shorter peplum effects tend to add width through that part of the body. Box-Like Cardigan Another fashionable type jacket —easy to wear, too—is the box-IV-e cardigan shown on the center figure. It hangs loose from the shoulders and is smartest when worn this way—though it could be held closed. You’ll find the same surplice line closing that’s described above in jackets that are worn with evening dresses. These are apt to be shorter than any of the daytime jackets, and the ones that come just to the waistline and tie at the side, are great favorites. A still shorter evening jacket is the bolero, which you’ll remember was a favorite daytime fashion last spring. You’ll see this sometimes in the daytime, too, but not as often as the longer jackets, since they take the place of a coat. (CoDvrieht. 1931. by Amos Parrish) NEXT: Amos Parrish writes on the fashion for dresses that are two-piece, or that look like twopiece. ‘Pan-Hellenics’ Name City Girl New President Miss Helen Weyl was elected president of the Intercollegiate Pan-Hellenic Association of Urban Universities at the annual conference held over the week-end at Northwestern university.
