’Concern for Women in Hobo Ranks Their Mode of Living Is Poor Prelude to Home Life. BY GRETTA PALMER VTEW YORK Auk. 11.—'"Is the -*■ woman hobo anew- manifestation of feminine rights, or an evidence of old human wrongs?” asks The Nation, In commenting on the fact that the number of lodgings given to homeless women in New
•and 91 per cent in the last year Most off he homeless women, it quotes the Women s Bureau as saying, are under 30, and their number, throughout the nation, is calculated to be as high as 50 000 or 60 000 Perhaps there is more sentimentality in the idea that a woman who is friendless and in

distress is more tragic than a man in such circum* Stances perhaps in assuming that women have to be looked after, we are taking for granted privileges which we do not deserve. But perhaps not. For there is a rertain essential fitness in a man's being on his own —in his wresting a living from difficult situations, in his living the hard, adventurous life of the wanderer of the road Many a father has thrown his young cub f>f a son out on his own with no desire beyond the boy's own good. Many a guardian has shipped a bov to sea in order that he might learn the lesson of hardihood and self-sufficiency which it is fitting for all young men to know. But if there is something comely and proper in the sight of a man thrown on his own resources, there Is nothing comparatively attractive in the sight of a woman engaged in the same hazardous form of life. For the quail les which such a difficult career develops are often appropriate to a man. but distintegrating to a woman. We do not object to aggressiveness and a thorough knowledge of the seamy thing in any man—we find them singularly repulsive in a woman. Conservator of Past This is not. I believe, because we have been brought up in the tradition which makes softness and gentility a primary feminine virtue. Perhaps it goes deeper than that. In the family role the woman acts as conservator of the values which have been inherted from the past. She is the childrens educator in the things which their ancestors have discovered to be true. She is th’ conservative element, holding together the tried values. Her husband may venture forth to experiment with novel forms of life and thought, and she may syrn- , pathize with his efforts toward radicalism. But she is. essentially, the repository of the ancient experience of tile race. Between the two of them- tire conventional wife and the experimental husband—they strike a nice balance of wisdom and progress. But if we send our women out into the byways to try out new theories and to cope with unexpected difficulties we simply leave the home with no conserving influence. We can not. without harming his essential being, demand that a husband shall develop the nursemaid tendencies from which his modern w ife has resign *d Nor can we give our youngsters the properly balanced spiritual atmosphere if both father and mother are dabbling in new experiences. Our children need conventions, if only to break away from them.” a wise father said recently. And these women who are leading the masculine and untrammelled life of the hobo are passing through an extremely bad apprenticeship for motherhood. Aid or Guidance Who is going to help them out of it? There are many agencies which axe concerned with the problem A recent column on this page criticised the Greater New York Federation of Churches for its discriminatory tendency to help out only Protestants, and asked what was to become of the Catholics and Jews. Several correspondents have pointed out that both Catholic and Jewish charities arc doing splendid work >n looking after members of their own faiths. This we gladlv recognize. But i here are. according to The Nation's figures, many thousands of women who are not being supplied by any association, of any faith, with that security and peace which almost every woman needs if she is to develop to her best capacities. And the social effects, we believe, are apt to prove more serious than even the worst calamity howler says. To give a man a fling on his own is one thing To throw a woman out on the road, to shift for herself, is another and a far more serious social experiment mm Constance Hardw ick who has been visiting Miss Estelle Ranh Burpee, 3025 North Meridian street, will return to her home in Flint. Mich . today Miss Burpee will accompany Miss Hardwick.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
fitter* of fxpfrirnrf are no valuable that I wish could have more of them. When aon actually have e\penenced some, tlim* Which 'on re,id in this column, please write and tell us what you learned from it! Dear Jane Jordan—l have born going steady with a girl for one year and as yet have done nothing io be ashamed of. Recently, she has repelled my advances, saying that I would give her the gate after it was all over, but I know I will love her more. We have not thought of marriage yet. because we know we are too young. She is 16 and 1 am 17. Would you please tell me what to do? WONDERING JOE. Answer—The girl is smarter than you are. She is too young to be plunged into the insecurity of such a pavilion and she is wise enough to know it. Even mature people suffer terribly from violating their traditional standards, with the full approval of their intellects. Perhaps you will gain some insight into the psychological conflicts of such a situation from the following letter. Dear Jane Jordan—All that you. Judge Ben Lindsay, and others say of the results of violating accepted standards is true. I have
been a wife and m other fۥ r man y years. Ten years ago I oecame a w are hat I had not had a complete emotional ex - pzrience I became more and mere convinced that I lacked some element in my life. I then met a man so differ-

Jane Jordan
ent from any with whom I had been spending my days that I gradually was interested. Intellectual interests hitherto mine alone were his as well. Soon I realized that I was not cold or unemotional, but keenly alive and interesting to this man We had a frank discussion or our problems and decided that we could not disturb the outward status quo for our joint excursion. But we paid in more wavs than one. I actually became ill from the effort to rationalize my conduct with old ideas. It lowered my ability to do wel' by my family and professional 'vork. I imputed to all my fe!low-fli*n and women the same sort of digression from the regular path, I feared the possible results, although I enjoyed the immediate results of devotion. My life was complicated beyond belief. Fear became so real in my life as to force me to refuse work for which I was well qualified, and it had the same effect on the man. t
Fear of economic and social consequences. Fear of shame or suffering to those for whom we separately were responsible. Finally. after a few years, we gave up any sort of contact, and that, too, was sad. I have substituted work for that I one brief ecstatic experience. If the days and nights are loveless and cheerless, they at least are free from feelings of guilt. The conventions are safe and comfortable for most of us. Also, temperance in love as well'as food and drink leaves no ugly memories. DONT. Answer—You have painted an excellent picture of the conflict of the mature woman who violates a lifelong moral code. You didn't say whether the experience was worth what it cost. Our young friend Joe may think his problem is simpler, because it is not complicated by marriage. That is true, but still the girl would battle with her conscience and her fear in much the same manner The next letter is from a girl who denies that she is burdened by conscience. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am 24 and an individualist. I do what I please, when I please, where I please. I will pit my wits, manners. and morals against the mast pure of the so-called chaste girls. When a girl reaches the age of 21, I advocate sexual experience, so she may be able to determine whether she is all woman or just a rag. a bone, and a hank of hair. Do you think it fair for a girl to marry a man when she knows she is frigid? I certainly don't! A selfish little Eskimo, unable to respond to the embraces of her husband Incompatibilitv. Divorce. Two lives badly bent, if not completely broken. Sure, print my name if you wish! H. R. Answer—No. I won't print your name, for your sake. While I admire your honesty. I don't want to see you crucified for it. Besides, there is something in your letter a little bit like whistling in the dark to keep up your courage. A certain note of defiance warns me that you may not be quite as easy in your mind as you think you are. In other words, you “protest too much. I should like for the men to respond to this letter with an avalanche of opinions. Just what do you think of a girl like H. R ? Write your letters now. ana Dear Jane Jordan A few nights ago my dov friend tried the unpardonable I saved myself m the nick of lime, i certainly have no love for him now. I have the best sisters and father in the world. If they should hear of this, it would break their 0

ASHAMED Answer—Your letter is another answer to Joe. If you feel a revulsion against the boy. quit him. If he is a gentleman, he won't tell. If he does, a brief scandul is easier to bear than hypocritical association with a boy you don’t like.

‘Cinema Room’ Will Be \ Fitting Place for Hats Movie Stars Introduce Block’s Offers Novelty as Millinery for Autumn Is Marshaled for First Showing. BY HELEN LINDSAY 'T'HE millinery department at the Wm H Block Company promises to A hold the eye of the fashion-minded for the fall season Entirely new ideas In millinery and millinery displav are being Introduced bv Miss Jane Hamilton, new manager of the French room Miss Hamilton has designed a room for the fitting of the newest hats, as presented by the outstanding movie stars in Hollywood These will be shown in a small fitting room which has been
designed like a movie star s dressing room It is to be known as the "Cinema Room" Walls and makeup dresser are in a rich ivory tint: around the top of the wail is a border of blue and silver stars, and the furnishings of the room are carried out in this color in modernistic furniture. The lighting fixture is in chromium and blue, to coincide with the decorative scheme. At either side of the dressing table is a black and white drawing of Garbo, done by Gail Stewart, fashion artist at Block s. Miss Stewart is an ardent admirer of Garbo, in her tiny studio office in the advertising department at Blocks are numerous drawings of the glamorous star, and she admits that she finds it difficult not to place what she thinks is the most beautiful and interesting face in the world on her fashion drawings.
One unique feature of the cinema room will be the featuring of hats, made in Block's own shop, which are shown in current mmies in Indianapolis. Local theaters will furnish the room with prints of the starring actresses, with their individual hats. % B u a Colbert Hot to He Shown THE room will be opened officially next week with models showing the new millinery. Ou'standing in these will be the tinv Juliet hat worn by Claudette Colbert, It is a mere skull rap of black velvet, stitched in a design, and having two tiny straps of satin, one at either side a perky veil standing out from the forehead is fastened to the hat It is to be worn so that the edge just touches the right eve-brow and is suggested as the ideal hat for evening dancing. Fanchot Tone's beret, which he wore in "Today We Live" has been reproduced by Milgnm in beautiful black velvet, held in place bv two rhipestone clips. ' . / fU /L, tU T an ; deM e ned for Ann Harding, is a modified cossack turban of black velvet, with a round fringed buckle nestled in the hich round peak. < • 6 Toby Wings turned up brim hat. with its interesting gnome crown will also be seen in the new millinery featured in the cinema room To mat £ h JL b a s k cloth sUit - with leopard trim, which will be seen soon ,n * e F ? en^ h I 0 !*' 1 r(K l m at Block s ' ,here 15 Carole Lombard sailor.

Hattie Carnegie s design of a turban, with its peaked crown tacked down over a tailored knot of grosgrain ribbon has been done in a sheer knit woolen material, to match a tailored dress, also designed bv her. Milgrim has a black satin solite hat. made with the gnome peak which will be matched in a gown. Solite is a fine quality of hatter's plush. A clever trl-corn is made of rat-tail braid, with no trimming Its lines are very extreme, and as is the custom with the new hats it settles itself far over the right eye. For the suits that will be trimmed in suede this year. Blocks is showing in the French room suede berets, with peaked tops, on which double pom-poms in a contrasting color are fastened. a a a Smart Styles for Matrons 'T'HE most interesting thing about the new millinery in the depart--l ment is the smart line of matrons' hats which are shown Thera is one of brown felt, stitched closely in three tones of colored thread, coming down smartly at side, and trimmed at the peak with a wing effect. Lily Dache has designed smart matrons' hats in satin which are being shown at Blocks, also. And to emphasize the fact that Mae West fashions are rcallv to lie with us. there is an immense broad-brimmed black velvet hat. trimmed with two small feather tips in front and two in back.
