EASIER DIVORCE IS URGED BY FAMED WOMAN NOVELIST

3 Marital Routes Are Pointed Out BY DEXTER H. TEED, NEA Servlet Writer. NEW YORK. Oct. 14. Faith Baldwin, the woman novelist who for years has been turning out books about the love life of youth struggling to live naturally and happily In the complexity of modern cities, is convinced that there would be fewer divorces if people only would admit the true facts '’bout marriage. “Marriage isn’t ordained in heaven, let them say what they will,” she declares. “It’s an unnatural relationship and there is proof that it was started as an institution to protect property. “It was necessary, for it was essential to determine parents to dispose of property.” And then she even goes so far as to say that men and women arc natural enemies, that she doesn t i believe in the idea of comradeship between husband and w’ife —and that, well, it doesn’t work out anyway. Sees Three Marital Courses i What does she believe? She believes this: That there are only three things' that nay happen in marriage. Eventually a working I partnership may be established or ! a degree of tolerance may be j reached or the marriage partner- | ship may be broken. Os course the working partner- I ship is nearest the ideal. It is ; achieved only when there is compatibility and similarity in ; tastes. “She believes that lack of com- j pntibility is enough reason for a divorce and that divorces should be j easier yet marriage should be j made harder. And she censures modern men: “Men classify women in only two ways,” says she. “They are either good or bad, as they see it. They still have the ‘Madonna’ idea. | They idealize their women too ; much and when they learn actual- ! ity they are disappointed. “Really they should not put their women on such a high plane. And they do that—for, after all, men are more sentimental than women.” Doesn’t Favor Clinics She doesn’t advocate the marital clinics suggested by Dr. William R. Terhune, associate medical director of the Austen Riggs Foundation, for she believes that the timid, who need advice most, would j not attend such clinics. Mrs. Baldwin, who has children of her own, contends that most of j the problems of marriage are emotional and that happiness will not be achieved until people are more j frank in discussing their own prob- ! lems and working out solutions. | Thus she continues writing books about young men and women who j solve their problems. That’s her fictional method —and she believes that it will work out in real life.

—WHAT’S IN FASHION?—

Turbans With a Tilt Directed By AMOS PARRISH .

NEW YORK, Oct. 14" The turban is dead. Long live the turban!” Thousands of well-dressed women have flung to the four fall winds their battle cry against the invasion of new derbies, toques and sailors. What! Give up the turban—its neat, trim look ... its comfortable fitting with the big fur collars on coats? Not on your life, they say. But, even though they may not be willing to admit it, these turban devotees have yielded to the lure of the new. For the old turban is dead —the one that sat on the back of the head showing lots of hair in the front. New Turban Tilted It's the new turban, worn with the famous right-side tilt of these other new hats which they scorn, that’s so very much alive on their fashion-knowing heads. Just as comfortable, trim and neat as the old. But much more of a hat. More important looking. More sophisticated. Makes its wearers look just as dignified, modern aiyl up-and-coming as the most extreme

Quaint Fur-Banded Turban

one-sided toque or diminutive derby. Matrons are wearing them —fitted well down on the head in a dignified way. Youth adores them — perched high and coquettish. * Despite cries of protest from the extremists, these turban-ites can quote as their authority for smartness no lesser names than those of the Paris couturiers. Variety in Styles Patou is making turbans —intricately draped affairs with feathers or bows high at the back. Mme. Agnes swears by them, with ribbon bows at the nape of the neck. Alphonsine puts a twist of raa- ; terial along the edge of hers and | sticks a feather in the right side, i Descat designs them with a beretlike drape and an ostrich tip over j the left eye. Maria Guy takes a bit of material and turns it into an aff-ir that looks like a soldier’s fatigue cap. Le Monnier puts pleatings of velvet wide around the edge. Mado likes cog feathers flat on the left to cover a part of the hair. Turbans of Fur Reappear Goupy fashions turbans of fur. And there’s an old-fashioned idea come back to life. Makes you think of sleighing parties or a droshky ride on the Russian steppes. Reboux edges hers with a thick velvet roll and finishes off with a soft velvet bow at the left side.

Patou’s New Draped Turban

And Talbot cuts a piece of felt like. a skull cap with a point over the i right eye and drops a flirtatious; veil down to the nose. Out an egg in half lengthwise and you have the shape of the new j fall turban. Long from back to front. Shallow from side to side. Individual drapings can make it look rounder, if that shape proves more becoming. But examine the basic lines and most ’always you’ll find them ovid. Pick up these turbans and you’ll find soft. And they look soft when they're on. They’re made of velvet, very fine felt, broadcloth, knit chenille, corded wool, wool pique. The fur ones are of flat and soft furs, some made entirely of fur and some simply banded with it. Curly furs like astrakhan and Persian are smartest. The smaller and softer, the newer and smarter. Wear them as high up on the left side of the head as you can, byt no higher than is becoming.
