~Women Ask Boycott on Japan Silk BY RUTH FINNEY Time* htafl Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Women of the United States are asked to boycott silk, in disapproval of Japan's attack on China, in letters being sent to all parts of the country by Washington alumnae of Kappa Alpha Theta, national women’s fraternity. The silk boycott was suggested by Katherine Seelye Wallace, who until recently lived in Shanghai and Nanking, in a talk on the far eastern situation given before the local chapter. The suggestion was adopted enthusiastically and steps taken to enlist the entire fraternity in the movement. Since then a Washington committee, including women outside Kappa Alpha Theta, has been formed for the same purpose, and the movement promises to pread rapidly. "How long are we going to sit passively by and watch this barefaced flouting of all Japan’s solemn pledges to outlaw war?’’ says he appeal. Women Must Act “That the people of the United States sincerely wish to abolish war is boynd question. But how can we hope to outlaw war if we have not the moral courage and the backbone first to outlaw the makers of war? “The women of America hold a powerful weapon in their hands, if they but knew it and could be roused to use it. “The United States is Japan's best customer in her world market. 90 per cent of all Japan’s exported silk is bought by the United States; and 90 per cent of all the silk we buy comes from Japan. Silk, furthermore, constitutes 90 per cent of all our Imports from Japan, though there are a few other things such as tea, crabmeat and dishes that we buy from her, too. Two Motives Cited “Two very different motives should lead us to make this protest: One of idealism and the other of self-interest. The first is our traditional friendship for China and the stand we have taken in the past against her dismemberment. The second is national self-interest in the long run. “But even greater than that is the thought that none can tell to what lengths Japan will go if unchecked. A policy of timidity and inaction is bound to encourage war, whether now or later. A boycott at least holds the possibility of a powerful incentive to peace.”

Early Spring Bride Has Wonderful Variety for Choice of Travel Suit

Furs Form Collars of New Going-A way of the Honeymooners’ Outfits. BY JOAN SAVOY NF.A SerTtee Writer THE early spring bride this year will have a wonderful time selecting her going-away suit. Whether she honeymoons in Europe, the southland or Bermuda, she might just as well indulge her vanity in one of the new light colored suits, elegantly dressmaker-made, richly furred as to collar. If it gets cold, a fur coat can go on right over the whole thing. The tricky ones of this type go in for frocks and matching jackets in a big way. Lightweight Wools Liked Usually the Jacket is unlined and fits so superbly that the dress and jacket seem like a well turned out frock, so slim and sleek do they look. Lightweight wools, in some of those gorgeously soft light blues, rose tones or orangy beige are among the favorite colors for go-ing-away things this year. One of the newest of this type of spring costume is a light blue woolen crepe suit, with a silver fox collar. The dress has the new molded skirt, with its wide girdle line, into which the upper part is eased, with hardly a blouse in it. The fiat neckline with its bow tie is new, too. Graceful and Flaring The jacket is particularly graceful, fitted and flaring just a bit, collared in fox and made with some of the most interesting sleeves that have come up the fashion pike. There are double cuffs on these sleeves, cut squarish and fitted close to the arm at the bottom. The body of the jacket is gored, like the skirt, so that it fits perfectly, to show the slender body line that every woman wants this year. * A little milan straw hat has a turned up brim all the way round, for youth, for spring.

Theta Nu Chis Will Observe . Founders’ Day Founders’ day will e celebrated by Alpha and Beta chapters cf Theta Nu Chi sorority, with a banquet tonight at the Sherman Inn.

Sunnyside Guild Story Told to Boost Charity Ball

With the advent of the annual Sunnyside Guild charity ball next Monday night at tthe Indiana ball room, the part played by the organization in the community in its activities at Sunnyside sanatorium is summed up by Dr. H. V. Scarborough, superintendent. Dr. Scarborough says: “As the date approaches for the annual benefit ball of Sunnyside’s Guild there are many who are finding their interest stimulated in the guild's charitable activities. Many will enjoy the evening more completely if they know just what they are helping the guild to do for the parents of Sunnyside sanatorium. Provide Monthly Entertainment When the members of Sunnyside Guild were organized, ’way back in 1919, they found that most Sunnyside patients were confined to their rooms or to their buildings for many months with never a glimpse of the outside world or a taste of its activities. Sanatorium existence seemed singularly monotonous and cheerless. They decided that the thing most needed by the patients at Sunnyside was a pleasant mental diversion. So the gqild laid its plans accordingly. Sunnyside began to receive pianos and music rolls, phonographs and records. Presently a moving picture projector made its appearance and one or more picture films began to arrive weekly. It wasn’t long until the guild began to bring out monthly entertainments to Sunnyside. These entertainments with professional and semi-professional performers, and with ice cream and cake for all, grew to be eagerly anticipated by the confined patients. Holidays often brought special entertainments or parties. Improve Beauty of Grounds Thanksgiving brought hundreds of pumpkin pies and other dainties. Christmas brought a tree with a surprise box for every one and practical gifts for the needy. Halloween brought the gayest party of the year. The guild became, in short, a fairy godmother to the unfortunate patients of Sunnyside. In time the guild began to interest itself in the grounds and lawns at Sunnyside. It sought to improve the natural beauty of the grounds and to make the lawn more adaptable to the needs of convalescing patients. The women furnished trees and shrubbery, lawn seats, lawn swings, ornamented concrete seats and porch furniture. Asa climax they built a complete greenhouse that bulbs and shrubs might be cared for during the winter and that patients might be supplied with cut flowers and potted the year around. They have for years maintained a “loan closet" for the needy patients, containing quantities of miscellaneous clothing, shoes, shaving cream —everything that the patient without means might need. The last gift from the guild was a half hundred bed lamps for

patients. But perhaps the most appreciated gift of all was in the way of radios.

MANNERS J ORp A/y

DON’T bury your troubles! Bring them to the light of day by writing to Jane Jordan, who will advise you what to do in this column. I have on my desk today two letters from a boy and a girl, who are strangers to each other. Nevertheless, they are suffering from identical problems. Each is the victim of unrequited love. The result is unhappiness and frustration. N Unrequited love is the result of the fierce idealism of youth. When we are older and wiser, we do not cling to our ideals so closely, but learn to make compromises with life. If the person we fancy is unresponsive, we do not waste precious time by weaving innumerable phantasies and dreams around the beloved image. We instigate a diligent search for somebody else. My advice to both of these young people is to snap out of it. The chances are ten to one that the persons they idealize are creations of their own imaginations. Instead of reaching for the moon, these young people should fill their lives with healthy pursuits and mingle with as many people as possible. Asa rule, the great advertising slogan, “Accept no substitute” is a good one. But in this institute a substitute is exactly what is needed. tt tt tt Dear Jane Jordan—l fell in love with a cirl whom I went with, ococasionallv, for years, iust hoping she some time would come to care for me. It is two years since she told me that our dating was over—that there was somebody else. Everything went blank that day. The wound hurts as much today as the first. M.v love for her never will die. It seems to me after four years I love every hair on her head better than I did the whole girl at first. I hope that some dav she will ask for me. No matter where she goes, or what she may become. \ will be waiting and loving her. Yours with a CHUCKLE. Dear Chuckle—l am glad that you have told us your experience. I want the skeptical girls who believe that no mere man can fall deeply in love to read it. While it is very nice for you to be so loyal and unselfish, I can not encourage you in your obsession. Our ability to drop old experiences and readjust to new ones is the best test of normality. Write me again £nd promise to try to call it a day with this girl and transfer your strong young affections to somebody else! tt tt tt Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young girl In mv teens. I went steady for a year and a half with a wonderful fellow. He was what I call an ideal fellow. After going with him for six months, he gave me a ring and a year later, when we broke up, I gave it back. Wasn’t that the right thing to do? What is wrong with the fellows of today? I have been out with them and actually they dre offended when I say a girl of mv aee should not have dates after 12 or 12:30! I class them all with the bov I went with and find them all lacking. The only reason I can give myself is that I still think the world of this other bov. What would you do? Stop all association with other fellows until I’ve overcome this habit of being dissatisfied with everyone? JUST WONDERING. Dear Just Wondering—You did right to return the ring. Keep up your associations with other young people. Let those drop away who will. Eventually one will stick. Then you will forget the first boy When we have the toothache, no one can convince us that it will not last forever. But it doesn’t. Likewise no heartache lasts forever. Meet new boys and girls. That’s the answer. • tt tt u Dear Jane Jordan—l am 19 and a stav-at-home girl. I am fond of babies and housework aahd not what you would call a spendthrift. Have gone with bovs of all types and every one of them turns out to be a failure, but I feel that some day I will meet the kind of boy I like. Here. Mr. Reformed Fast Stepper, is an answer! M. C. tt tt tt Dear Mr. Twenty-One—l read vour letter to Puzzled Girl. You like a girl who respects herself. There are many who do. If a man wants a girl respectable. why doesn’t he treat her decently? I have had experience with men. They are all the same. You are a man. I would like to know why they consider themselves better than women. MISS TWENTY-TWO.

YORK, Feb.* 24.—Watch spring-shod feet go clipping along fashionable avenues. If ever you’ve seen a picture of vim and vigor, there it is in those shoes! “Tap, tap, tap,” go firm heels and flexible toes. “It's fashionable for feet to be active and we're going places. Quickly. Comfortably, Gaily!” “Military,” the spring costume silhouette is called. And there's something military-looking about the shoes that go with it. Now of course that doesn’t mean copying officers’ brogues. Far from it. Spring shoes are as dainty and feminine as ever. It simply means that they’re clean cut and trim of line. And that goes for all daytime shoes . . . from sturdy ox-

fords through neat one-straps and graceful pumps. There is trimming within this unbroken outline. But you’ll notice that it's never obvious or fussy. It's put on so that it seems to be a basic part of the shoe. Simple, Fine Trim Self-color trimming of a different kind of leather. Such as grained or reptile leather on plain kid. Or patent or calf on suede. You can be glad to this one-color vogue, because it always makes feet look smaller. It's usually the tip and foxing which are of a different leather from the body of the shoe. (Foxing, by the way, is the term shoemakers use to indicate the back of the shoe.) You can see the contrasting tip and foxing on the shoe illustrated. That little vest effect that shows up on the sketch is certainly simple trimming, and looks as though it belonged to the shoe. Pipings and stitchings and appliques, too, give the effect of having developed right along with the main body of the shoe. You can tell they weren’t an after thought, slapped on just for the sake of trimming. , , .Belong to Shoe Fashionable heels, too, chime right in with that, clean-cut, all-of-a-piece look. Every graceful high-low or Cuban of the lot stands sturdily on a broad-enough foundation. And what a difference these heels make in the poise and swinging walk of the women who wear them. All in all, feet look so trim and slim and well-moulded in spring’s shoes that of course they want to step out and show themselves.
