Men Conceal Deep Liking for Finery Behind Lodge Portals, Silk and Satin Garb Is Worn. BY GRETTA PALMER Timm Sp*nl Writer NrEW YORK. Feb 6— The mar. I ol today would have you believe that Spartan simplicity Is his ideal In dress—that his wardrobe is too stern and manly an affair to include any of the frou-frous of lace and satin which his wife is frivolous enough to buy. He would have you know that he is not doodad-con-scious. Weil, this contempt for fancy dress is nothing but a brazen and outtageous bluff, it now appears. Men —strong, serge-clad, American busi ness men—are as susceptible to the glamour of silk and satin as their wives. One of them has let the cat out of the bag. A “costume consisting of underskirt and elaborate over-robe —underskirt of fine imported silk brocade" is one of the contemporary male costumes described by Robert Litell In the current Vogue, where he treacherously confesses what kind of garments are worn by these redblooded American men behind the closed doors of the fraternal lodges And one out of every' three men in this great country belong to one of them! Finery Contempt Sheer Hypocrisy Men at this very moment are climbing into robes of "fine imported brocaded silk elaborately trimmed with Point d'Espagne lace around the large flowing sleeves.” They are stumbling over "trains of superfine satin" and putting their heads into “brocade turbans with silk curtain and large gold bullion tassels.” They are. moreover, paying as high as $285 for a set of eleven richly furbished sashes and “authentic Persian beards on nettings.” Os course, you can't catch one of the brothers decked out in this gramieur even if you know him very well—even if you are married to him. For such dress is reserved for the sacred rites which occur when the doors of the lodge are closed—or “tiled.” as I believe the technical term is. And so you are cunningly deprived of the chance of a lifetime to make the American man admit his hypocrisy in claiming, all these years, to have a positively spiritual contempt for finery. Unfair to Women And yet it is surely unfair. We women study fashions and window shop and hunt out nifty evening dresses tirelessly in order to supply glamour to the social scene and appear decorative in the eyes of men. We scrape together enough to buy expensive-looking imitation jewelry and catch cold from our decolletes and trip over our trains so that they may see us in their glory. We put on as good a show as we can possibly afford—largely to warm the heart cockles of the appraising men. And what return do we get? We get the privilege of seeing our men in severely monastic dinner coats that are renewed once in five years. We dance with men whose only concession to our delight in their appearance is a single wilting gardenia. While all the time these drably turned out gentlemen are possessed of a dessert mold style crown, filled with silk plush” and “a jeweled breastplate with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel embossed." which they won t let us see. Is that what you call sex equality?

Manners and Morals — BY JANE JORDAN

l-*t Jane Jordan worry about your troubles! Put your problem before her in a letter today and she will helff you find a way out of your difficulties. Dear Jane Jordan—l have made the mistake of thousands of girls who put their utmost faith in men. However. I have a beautiful child and at times I'm not sorry for what happened because he is so sweet. But when I think of his

future it just about gets the best of me. My parents are wonderful to me and take care of the baby and me without mentioning the past. A few weeks ago I met a man about 40 years old from another city. He became very much interested in me and offered me a po-

positions, and it looks as though the advantage is for his hand to play the no trump. However, the actual bid by North was one heart. South must respond with one no trump, as he does not have a rebiddable suit. North then goes to two no trump, and South takes it to three. West's opening lead is the king of spades and declarer must hold off the spades until the third lead, to exhaust East of spades. A small heart is discarded from dummy. DECLARER then starts the club suit, leading the ten. and winning in dummy with the king. He returns a small club. East puts on the jack, and the declarer plays the ace (a better play might have been to allow East to hold the trick with the jaekL A club is returned, which East wins with the queen. East now is forced to lead into dummy tenace of either diamonds cr hearts. Os course, it looks as though he has a heart trick and even though he leads a heart, he still may have a heart trick. However, the point is that South is marked with two more clubs and East does not know where the ace of diamonds or the queen of diamonds lies, but he does know the location of the king of hearts. To lead a heart will give the declarer two sure heart tricks. The proper return is a diamond. South must have two hearts, as he bid no trump and probably would not have dqne that with a singleton heart—so. by leading a diamond. East assures himself of a heart trick. Declarer can run off three diamonds and cash his two clubs, discarding the jack of hearts; but, he must give East a heart trick. Os course. South still makes his contract, but at duplicate it is

If I take the position I will make enough to take care of my baby and myself, thus lightening the burdens on mother and dad. Would I be doing right in taking this position? Would it be better for me to move to another city and start afresh? CORNERED Answer—l think it would be an excellent thing for you to leave home and go to work in anew environment. You need the experience of an independent life and you must learn to get along without the protection of your kindly parents. However, there is some doubt in my mind as to whether it is the job or the employer which attracts you. I do not mean to infer that a love affair is brewing, but your letter leads me to believe that the man’s attitude toward you is decidedly paternalistic, and more paternalism is not what you need. Women in business are prone to carry over their age-old search for a protector and look up to their employers as models of C-od-like power and justice. Unconsciously they identify their employers with their own fathers and look up to them in child-like confidence and trust. Such women are doomed to disappointment, for the employer will not live up to this exaggerated ideal. Sooner or later he will reveal himself as just another seif-seeking individual, and profound disillusionment will follow. It is better to work for a complete stranger than a personal friend. Then your employer’s judgment of your work will not be colored by a personal interest in you, and his shortcomings produce no emotional disturbance. Your search at present is for independence and not for more protection. a n Dear Jane Jordan—l hate my mother-in-law, and she doesn’t like me much better. Last winter we all were very poor, so we stored our furniture and moved in with my husband's mother and stepfather. She is the type of woman who wants all the attention, and she wants her son for herself. Another thing that is driving me crazy is that she won’t let us have a minute to ourselves. If we sit down to eat, she’ll sit and watch. If we go in our room to talk, she'll come in the next room and listen. We don’t bother her and her husband. Why should she bother us? I've been trying to get my hus--band to save money so we can keep house again, but he won’t even try. He is contented to stay here and just drift along. The way I feel now I think if I can get a job I will take the baby and leave. My husband’s stepfather takes my part and that makes my mother-in-law' mad. I guess she is jealous. He has been so good

JANE WANDS WED TO FRANK B, LEE

Mr. Lee attended Culver Military academy and Butler university and is a member of Kappa Delta Rho fraternity. Luncheon Scheduled Members of the Indianapolis Educational Council will be entertained at a luncheon at 12:30 tomorrow at the home of Mrs. A. M. Anderson, 3105 North Illinois street.

Meeting Place Changed Catharine Merrill Club will meet Saturday afternoon with Mrs. Homer Hamer, 640 Berkley road, instead of with Mrs. J. J. Littell as previously announced. to me I can’t hurt him, so what am I going to do about that? DOT Answer—The only possible solution. is for you and your husband to move to yourselves. But how to persuade him to do it I do not know. The tension between you is now so great that he will set up a terrific resistance against anything you suggest. If you have some trusted mutual friend, like a physician or priest, who could reason with you both, it would be an advantage. Any outsider would have more influence than you have, for the man has returned to his childish relationship with his mother and doesn’t want it disturbed. The stultifying effects of this retrogression can be seen in his lack of ambition and general attitude of irresponsibility for his family. Sometimes I think that such a mother-in-law deserves all the aspersions and odium that have been cast upon her name since primitive times. The aging mother is capable of more mischief than almost any other element in the lives of her sons and daughters. She protects herself against a monotonous emotional life by identifying herself with the children and making their emotional experiences her own. If her relations with her husband are not satisfactory, she is even more pernicious, for she resorts to identification with' her children as a means of satisfying the emotional cravings which she has not been able to pacify in marriage. Your situation is complicated by the fact that the stepfather is sympathetic toward you, which gives the mother a double cause for jealousy. As long as you live there she will give you no privacy or peace, and your husband will make no progress until he prefers to be a husband rather than a son. Club Will Meet Mrs. Clovie Williams, 402 East New York street, will be hostess for a meeting of the Indianapolis-to-Baltimore Club tonight.
