Local Dancer, Acclaimed After World Tour, Will Appear on Keith’s Stage Ruth Page Will Spend Few Hours With Friends and Schoolmates in Brief Stopover. BY BEATRICE Bl ROAN Timm Woman’s Par* Editor GOOD fortune has delivered us Ruth Page, who has danced her way around the world and back home again. For seven years she has been dancing to the acclaim of the Orient, the south and Soviet Russia— With never a bow for her friends at home.

Today, her mother. Mrs. Lafayette Page of Woodstock drive, drove to Champaign, 111., to reclaim her daughter for a few short hours. They'll rush back Sunday in time for her afternoon performance at Keith’s with her partner, Harald Kreutzberg. There'll be no time for intimate talks over the teacups with her friends, former classmates at Tudor Hall—no bursts of mirth over the time when—will you ever forget? ... No gay dinners for “homey" talk. Miss Page’s hurried visits are awaited bv her friends, still charmed with the gay vital personality of her school days here and at Miss Finch's school in New York. Mrs. Julian Bobbs, Mrs. C. Harvey Bradley, Mrs. Elias C. Atkins and Mrs. Frederick Holliday are among her “intimates” who’ll rush backstage for hurried “hellos." Many of society’s notable will gather Sunday for

Roberts and Ruth Millikan A childish rapture inspired by Pavlowa’s performance when Miss Page was 11, enthralled her. She went to dancing school with the memory of the “incomparable" in her heart. When she went to Miss Finch’s in New York, her dream of dreams came true. Pavlow’a was there and she could study w'ith her! And after that there came a tour to South America, Cuba and Mexico. Then China, Japan, India and Siam received her, and, more recently, Russia. Her last professional appearance here was in 1926, at the Murat with Adolph Bolrn. She’s touring America now, having appeared in San Francisco last week. She will entrain for Minneapolis and Milwaukee following her performance here. This spring she hopes to come back home for a long visit with her mother and friends. In “private” life she is Mrs. Thomas Fisher of Chicago.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Tell vnur troubles to Jane Jordan, who will help you see what to do. Read your answers In this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l was married at 17 to a man ot 26. It just seems he never can hold a job. / r hen he has one. he usually gets , laid off or quits. Not long ago he got drunk on the job and was fired. He always did make good money, but never knew how to save. Most of it went on drinks. I have loved my husband very dearly, but he has me so disgusted I don’t know what to do. I don’t even care for him to be around. When I loved him, he didn't care to pay any attention to me, but now sihee he isn't working and hasn’t any place to go, he pays attention to me, but I don’t seem to care whether he does or not. I don’t love him any more. I used to be jealous of him, but it is someone else I’m jealous of now. For the last six months I see a fellow all the time where I work. Even before we were acquainted, I looked for him and missed him the minute he wasn’t there. I have such a funny feeling I just don't know how to tell you. If he speaks to another woman I am jealous. Do you think I really love him? I’m sure I do. Do you think I should stay with my husband? This man also is married, i went with him once and expect to go again. If he loved his wife, would he be out with me? Does he love me. or is he just passing away the time? FOUND NEW LOVE. Answer—Truly woman is the perpetual builder of illusions! She just has to have someone on whom to hang her dreams. When one man fails her. she learns nothing from the experience, but hopefully proceeds to weave rosy fancies around another. The twilight of one love is bearable only when it coincides with the dawn of another. When she isn’t loving, she isn’t living. That’s woman. I hope to save you from another jar by pointing out that you can't recapture romance by endowing a comparative stranger with the virtues you miss in your husband. To begin with, he's a married man and you mustn’t take such a small amount of attention so seriously. No doubt he has noticed your attitude toward him and finds it amusing. I do not know if he loves his wife, but his interest in vou is no proof to the contrary. Men are flattered easily by a little admiration and make it a point of honor not to neglect an amorous lady, if she is new to them. But the humiliating thing about it is that they so often laugh at her unasked affection. If your love for vour husband is dead, and you have no children, leave him Call it a day and quit. You have a job. Then with your bridges burned back of you. wait for someone who is as free as you are. This is the only dignified way to rebuild your life, and to protect you from exposing your tender emotions to ridicule. a u a Dear Jane Jordan—l have been dating a fellow for more than a year and found but last week that he has been going with a girl friend of mine on odd nights. I am awfully fond of him and don’t care to go with anyone else. Would like to have some advice. MARGUERITE. Answer —I see. no reason for canning the young man just because he likes to see another girl occasionally. The other girl has more reason to complain, since he sees her-

only on odd nights. Evidently he prefers you, so what are you worrying about? tt tt tt Dear Jane Jordan—l am in love with a boy who loves me, too, but lie says he wasn’t ready to fall in love He expected to wait until he was older, as he can’t afford to marry now. I told him I didn't want to hold him unless he wanted to be held, but he said when you can hold a person who doesn't want to be held, you always can hold them. Is he right? Answer—There is some truth in what he says. Most men resist falling in love because it means loss of their freedbm and assumption of responsibilities which they dread. The emotion struggles with the intellect until one or the other succumbs. Men marry because they fall under the illusion that they have found the one girl in the world whom they can not live without. If you’re holding your boy friend against his will, you’re doing a pretty good job. I shouldn't worry about it much if I were you.

‘Owlish Stumblebum' Child Is Now Stage World Notable

Mothers with babies less lovely than the children of their dreams need not fret over their future successes. Thev may crow into the most talented of voune women, noted for their charm and glamour. To prove this six such women in a series of articles admit to having been plain little girls. This is the fifth of the series. BY ELIZABETH CLARK Times Staff Writer NEW YORK. March 24.—From the time she could walk until she was 6 years old she was tagged a "stumblebum." or a “tumble bug." Then her nickname became "Foureyes." Glasses had been ordered. "Great thick goggles that made me very self-conscious and unhappy. here they are. I wear them yet, but they no longer bother me." The speaker removed a pair of tortoise-shell rimmed spectacles from a classically straight nose and laid them on her dressing table—preliminary move in the business us applying the creams and grease paint that would transform her from the blond and glamorous Peggy Wood of everyday life to Meg Langdon, the brilliant star of “A Saturday Night." "Asa consolation people called me intelligent looking.” she said. "Those glasses immediately pigeonholed me. When they insisted that I looked intelligent, they probably meant owlish. To this day my friends think I am studious.” Miss Wood (in private life she is Mrs. John V. A. Weaver, wife of the novelist and playwright) distributes the credit for her present success almost equally between her father and her mother. She doesn't remember ever ‘laving been severely punished, and she could study about what she pleased. "Mother was extraordinary,” she explained "She was a rebel against all established forms of education. Her father on the other hand, was determined that his daughter, who "could sing before she could talk." should be a singer. So. he put her on obligatory ra- 1

the day and begin relaxing by swinging arms up at the sides and letting them fall plump! Then lift one leg at a time, from the hip, and let it drop. Drop your head forward on to your chest, put your hand on your forehead and _ with your hand raise your head up, take your hand away and let it drop back onto your chest. Now you are ready for this relaxing exercise. Stand with feet apart and let your head and trunk drop clear down until your hands are almost touching the floor. Swing your arms forward through your legs, knees soft, three or four times. Then swing them through once more and coming back, throw them up and way overhead, arching your back as you do so. Swing back down, through your legs again and back up over your head, five times. Now drop your trunk forward again. This time, swing your relaxed arms through your legs, then both over the right knee to the outside of your body, back through your legs and out over the left knee. Repeat three times over each leg. This exercise irons out tense muscles, gets circulation toned up, puts you in a mood to finish your exercise, and start the day happy. It is excellent as a night-relaxer, too.

Forget That ‘l6’ Complex; Get Your Clothes Large Enough

BY ALICIA lIART Have you a size 16 complex? Do you still wriggle into things that really are too small and not realize why you are not entirely comfortable. just because that size used to fit you? Even women who keep themselves nice and slim usually fir.d that they take things made slightly differently as the years go on. I have known women who wore sleeves so tight that their arms looked as if they were about to burst through. I know one woman who came in one day with a beaming face. “Do you know,” she regaled the group, “I’ve been so uncomfortable, for a long time now, without realizing what was the matter. Now, I’ve bought both my girdle and my brassiere one size larger and you’d be surprised how relieved I feel.” Shoes are perhaps the biggest single item to consider. Are yours long enough? The width makes little difference, just so long as your toes don’t get pinched. But shortness in length throws all those delicate bones of your feet out of place. Short stockings are almost As bad as short shoes. \Armholes are another thing to watch. Do you need just a little more room around the armholes?” Well, get it in your next dress. Your circulation needs it, even if your vanity doesn’t. And right there across your shoulders you may be feeling strained. Well, a half inch wider in the

Chic Sailor

Maureen O’Sullivan

P.p NEA Service HOLLYWOOD, March 24.—N0 two Hollywood stars have the same idea about sailors. p _ Maureen O’Sullivan, in a brown study (and white linen dress) over her golf the other morning, wore a narrow brimmed white sailor, with a brown grosgrain banding and a crystal butt jn ornament right in front. The sailor was a mushroom type, of featherweight straw, very summery looking. Her white linen dress had cute epaulets of brown linen and a brown linen collar with flaring points that reached clear to her shoulders. Buttons finished it up brown, in the front!

back and a half inch wider in the front won’t make you look any bigger but will relax you and make you comfortable. Foundation garments should be fitted carefully. Certainly sane, modern women know there’s no use lacing. Yet many women do get these stretch-both-ways garments too small. The result is that they “ride up” and you bulge over them. Neither is pleasant nor pleasing. Women over 35 are the ones to these things. And they might pass it on to their husbands, too. For men err more than women in continuing to get collars, shirts, underthings, and hose too small, after their dimensions demand a larger size.

Fine Example of Cabinet Work Is Shown in Tables on Display at Day Cos: Intricate Inlaid Designs, in Eleven Kinds of Wood; Fabric Gloves Retain Their Popularity. BY HELEN LINDSAY THE finest cabinet wock is displayed in two small chair tables shown at the Day Furniture Company, 5614 East Washington street The tables which were made by an Indianapolis man, have intricate designs inlaid of eleven different varieties of wood One shows a colored Elizabethan figure on a background of mahogany.

framed in highly polished satinwood. All colors are gained from the uses of different woods. Two foreign woods, padouk. from Africa, and teawood, from Mexico, help in carrying out the design of the figure. The other table shows a wind mill scene, of inlaid dyed wood, on a background of rosewood. Both tables are “tilt-tops." and carry on the under part the monogram of the maker, inlaid in the same fashion as the decorative design. a a a Fabric Gloves Are Popular IT'S a cry of "hands up” in glove departments this spring, with the newest mode of fabric gloves assuming the usual early season importance. The lilywhite hands of the maid who has gone Victorian” and the tanned hands which bespeak hours on the

golf course or Florida beaches alike are gloved becomingly in fabrics or knitted designs. Anew use is found for pique, with gloves fashioned of this material, in white, eggshell, gray and beige. One new Kayser glove, featured at H. P. Wasson and Company, is of white fabric, with three-tone cuff in blending shades of red. Kayser gloves are also shown in t loosely ‘knit mesh, in bright reds and blue. Other knitted gloves are of old-fashioned pattern, in the ripple-knit and novelty mesh which our grandmothers wore as "half-fingered mitt®" One particularly attractive pair has a row of white buttons up the cuff startlingly fresh agaihst the dull gray of the glove fabric The newest touch is starched lace cuffs on white gloves, giving the appearance of Irish crochet. These promise to be an interesting addition to spring ensembles of tailored cloth or knitted suits. tt a tt Personal Beauty Service-Given A'SS Pf™ 1 „ beaUty service ls ofTored by the Amyl McDaniel shoo l in T OIS S , treet ’ in addition the customary showing of h and J ’T , Comphmentary treatments are offered to patrons in which the individual skin is analyzed. sh .
