NEW EVENING GOWNS APPEAR AT SOUTHERN AFFAIRS
Ruffles Out; Demure Line Is Favorite BY ROSETTE HARGROVE SEA Service Writer PARIS, Jan. 19—Because evening dresses are the first to reflect any change of style, the very latest that Paris offers for southern wear are quite different from the models shown at the outset of the winter season. It does seem as though the world of fashion is at last settling down to styles that, while essentially modern, will still present enough interest without having to delve into past periods of dress for ideas. The new styles do contrive to look singularly graceful and demure compared to the somewhat overruffled creations that were presented last August. And they are perhaps more intensely feminine although devoid of that buxom, generous-bos-omed outline that so radically changed the feminine silhouette. Rufflles Restrained True, there are still a few ruffles draperies and other soft effects to be found in the latest dressees, but these are very restrained and therefore more adaptable to modern woman’s needs. Made of sheer crepes, chiffons and light weight satins, the most recent gowns follow the lines of the body closely enough to accentuate its beauty without any effect of .strain of stretching. Bodices are softly draped across the bust, bloused at the waistline and the waist itself is not so sharply defined as it was before. Skirts Shorter Skirts arc a few inches shorter, just covering the ankle, for all but the more formal occasions, when shoe-tip length sometimes ends in a slightly trained effect at the back. The slim hipline still prevails and fullness remains about the same. Another interesting feature of the evening mode is the variety of sleeves or rather shoulder coverings that adorn many gowns. In some cases a bertha will cover the top of one arm and end up in a wide scarf on the other. Onesided bodice draperies that cover only one arm are also seen. In fact, scarfs promise to supply a great deal of the novelty of the coming collections in all departments of woman’s dress. Coatees Arc Worn Little coatees that barely reach to the waist complete many a filmy lace evening gown and beading is making its reappearance, both on plain and figured fabrics such as lace. In the latter case, it is used to underline the design on the scarf, bolero or sleeves and it has lost that very brilliant effect that we were used to, for the good reason that much of the new work is done in dull beads, excepting of course, when paillettes arc employed. Lanvin’s embroidered models are a perfect specimen of the advance made in embroidery work since it was abandoned some seasons ago. Give Luncheon Today Delta Upsilon auxiliary will have a covered dish luncheon and bridge party today at the home of Mrs. John Berns, 5555 Central avenue. The committee to assist the hostess will be Mesdames Everett Lett, E. I. j Griscll, and J. D. Little.

ARE you lonely and blue? Write your troubles to Jane Jordan who will help you seek a solution. Read her answers in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—My husband fell in love with another woman a year or so ago. It was not his first misstep, as he has had many aaffirs before. He mistreated me and finally left, but wasn't satisfied away from me and our two children. We have tried over a couple of times, but to no avail. The other woman did him dirty. says he got a good dose of his own medicine. He is not anectionate ana says he just doesn’t feel that way toward me. He says I am a good housekeeper, a good mother, and that he can trust me. Says he thinks a lot of me, to a certain extent. What is the matter with me? I am considered good looking and a snappy dresser. I am always in for a good time and never contrary. Do you think he could care for me? A DISGUSTED MOTHER. Dear disgusted mother— Nothing is wrong with you. Your husband is just tired of you. That’s not necessarily your fault. Some men tire of the same woman exactly as they tire of the same clothes, automobile, diet or surroundings. Ennui is the greatest enemy of marriage, and I don’t know what the cure for it is. If I could discover it, I’d be one of the greatest benefactors of mankind ever known. Sometimes it is the woman who tires, but more often it is the man. Occasionally you find affinities who never tire of each other, but they are all too rare. Psychologists have
that they are ready for the next step. Registration may take place ; at any time during the year, and ! no definite grading time is set. Miss i Helene Hibben directs the school. Start Bridge Classes Bridge classes, open to the public, will be conducted by Mrs. Louise Brooks at Selig’s each Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 and Thursday night at 8.

various means of defining an affinity. Otto Weininger holds that an affinity between man and wife is established by an even balance of their masculine and feminine qualities. That is to say, that no man is | wholly masculine and no woman is wholly feminine in makeup. A man three-quarters masculine and onequarter feminine finds completion in a woman three-quarters feminine and one-quarter masculine, and so on. The cause of your unhappiness is mismating in the beginning. I’m sorry that I can hold out no hope of a satisfactory adjustment between you and your husband, since you have already tried a vacation. You can improve conditions by refraining from reproaches, by generously granting your husband all the freedom he requires, and by filling your own life with as many outside interests as you can find. Possibly when the children are older, you can find personal happiness by mating with someone more suited td your type. tt n it Dear Jane Jordan—Last summer I went to a fairly large city, where I met a young man with whom I fell in love. He cares for me, I know. He isn’t the tyne who hands out a line. He's more serious. I'll be graduated in the spring •—l’m 18—and iin going back to this city. How can I keep him interested until then? I haven't any nice place to which to ask him. Please tell me some way I can get rid of that empty, homesick feeling! Please! A READER. Dear a reader—what’s the difference whether you have a nice place to ask him to or not? He’ll be coming to see you and not the place. Propinquity is the greatest friend of love. It’s difficult to attract a man at a distance. It’s far better to have him close at hand where you can keep an eye on his reactions. Otherwise you have to trust to luck and letters. Occupation is the only antidote for that homesick feeling and it is only a palliative,—not a cure. Besides, who want§ to be entirely rid of the “sweet sorrow” of parting with the object of one’s affections? tt tt tt Dear Jane Jordan—l have been going with a girl three years, and she is three years younger than I. I have tried a variety of girls, but every time I do, I appreciate this girl more and more. I have given her plenty of chances to go with other fellows because she is young and .may change her mind, but she only thinks I am trying to get away from her. She says she loves me. What would you do in my case? I will give you more details after reading your comment. BILL' 32. DEAR BILL—If you love the girl and she loves you, what difference does three years make? If i both you and she have had three ! years in which to look around for ! someone else and you still prefer leach other, why resist the attraction? I shall look forward to your I next letter. DEAR E. P.—No one can help you but a reputable physician. ! In this case the only advice you dare j to act upon is medical opinion. Dear One-In-Need-of-Work and Woman Alice—l am sorry I can not publish letters from people who want work. So many people need employment that I soon would be overwhelmed with letters asking for jobs and the purpose of this column would be lost. It won’t cost much to place your advertisement in the proper place—the “Situation Wanted” column. Dear Jeannine—See Miss Mary Orvis of the Indiana university extension division on Michigan street, or J. W. Piercy, professor of journalism, who is in town for classes on Friday. You may say that Jane Jordan sent you. Dear A. Jenn York—ln answer to your question, “when and where can a girl meet a gentleman?” I only can say that one meets them in all walks of life, in business, in churches, in clubs, and sometimes, even, right next door!
