Many visitors at the 1933 Century of Progress exposition in Chicago last summer came home impressed with the Belgian village. As they wandered through its cobbled streets, they felt as if they were in another world. Daniel Burnham. Chicago, who was responsible for the authenticity of the village, has gone to Spain where he will study its customs and architecture in order to reproduce a Spanish village at the 1934 fair. The Spanish village will be as authentic as the Belgian village, Mr. Burnham has told his friends. As in the case of the Belgian village, papier machiere “patterns” will be laid over Spanish buildings to reproduce them down to every’ tiny crack. Mr. Burnham will bring back such a replica of an exhibit at the Barcelona fair. He will arrive next week in New York. Mrs. Lafayette Page has returned from Chicago, where she attended the dance recital of her daughter, Ruth Page, and Harald Kreutzberg on Sunday. "The audience particularly enjoyed their dancing •parodies' because of their mimick- ! ing good humor.” Mrs. Page said yesterday. "My daughter also was popular in variations of the Euclid dance, which she appeared in here last winter.” Geometrical designs, angles and plane surfaces have been worked out in a dance by Miss Page.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

What* ?our opinion of tho petting problem? Bovs and {iris are invited to tell what thev think to Jane Jordan. Write four letters now. Dear Jane Jordan—l am 17 and for six months I have been going with a nice boy who always shows me a lovely time. But he likes to pet and I loathe that. He isn't satisfied unless he is kissing me continually. Do you think that some fellows are different from him and take girls places without expecting this infernal petting in return? if the fellow is of that nature should the girl pet, too? I should like the opinions of your readers also. OLD FASHIONED GIRL. Answer—l doubt if you're as much repelled by petting as you think you are. Sometimes a forbidden thing is so attractive that we have to discourage our desire with disgust in order to keep it in check.

I do not believe in shaming young people out of their normal and natural desires. Some petting is disgusting, to be sure. It’s attract veness depends on the persons who engage in it. Boys who insist on mechanical necking simply because they are so dull they can't think of any other

Jane Jordan

way to pass an evening are exceptionally tiresome. But I fail to see anything disgusting about a ooy who has an honest affection for you who is spontaneously moved to express it in caresses. Petting annoys me a lot more in mature people than in adolscents. For example, a married woman who pets another woman's husband as a substitute for an experience which she dares not complete is hardly to be commended. About all she does is to stir up trouble in which she can pose as guiltless simply because she remained technically virtuous. Excessive petting between adolescents is a bad preparation for marriage. Perpetual stimulation without relief from tension is bound to be unhealthy. I do not blame you in the least for rebelling against continual kissing. But I do not see why you should loathe an occasional caress or feel that affection is infernal merely because it cries for expression. Somewhere between the extremes of abandon and disgust lies Ihe answer to the adolescent's petting problem. warn Dear Jane Jordan—l've been among the unemployed for tne past pear and my wife has oetn the bread winner. A brave liftle soul she is. too! About six months ago a family moved next door to us, and I find myself thinking of the tody every minute. When I go away I hurry home for the sole purpose of looking over next door.

I've always prided myself on being the clean sort where another man's wife is concerned, but I can't help wanting this woman as I never have wanted another. She probably would tell me where to get off if I said anything to her. She is merely nice, as any neighbor would be. But I'm getting to be a wreck and my wife is noticing that something is wrong. I've been around women all my life, but they have never had this effect on me before. I’m afraid I will lose my head and go over there. The woman sure has “it,” or else I'm losing my mind. Should I leave town until I get my senses back? LOCO. Answer —There is nothing to be gained in running away from a problem. Stay home and face it. The woman has a purely physical appeal for you. due to the fact that you are idle, and that you have become so accustomed to your wife that she does not give you an electric shock when you touch her any more. Except in cases so rare you hardly can find them, physical love has its prescribed time limit. Passion puffs out. and it is terribly difficult to revive it again with one's own wife unless one has lost her or is about to lose her. I do not mean that you are not in love with your wife, but only that you do not burn for her as you did in the beginning. Possibly since she has been so busy earning the living, she hasn’t been as attentive as usual. Although you excuse her on your more intelligent side, emotionally you are at loose ends. You will simply have to resign yourself to the fact that no man can have everything. You can't retain the loyalty of a wife who steps into the breech when you have bad luck, and possess your neighbor's wife at the same time. Even if you tried you would only get your face slapped for your pains, and suffer from being the center of a nasty, undignified scandal. What you need more than anything else is a job. Your cue is to keep yourself as busy as possible. If there is anything missing in relationship with your wife which you have not told me. you should seek to correct it. Her energies are used up during the day, and yours are not. No doubt you could take more burdens off her shoulders than you do. and leave her more time for making love. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—Do you think a young girl is justified in discontinuing any relationship whatsoever with the opposite sex when several boys whom she really likes refuse to recognize her any more? She does not know what she has done to cause them to behave in this manner, and she is too proud to ask. She is rather shy in making new friends, and

to work at the museum. Miss Joan Dissette is chairman. Mrs. William Todd, Mrs. Thomas Sinclair, Miss Anne Ayres and Miss Julianne Campbell were among the hostesses presiding at the tea.

in all probability she does not have any new boy friends to turn to. She is so discouraged that she has decided to just quit keeping company with any boy, as she is deeply hurt at all this. A READER. Answer —No, I do not think it ever is wise to retreat from one’s problems instead of meeting them. It may be that this girl is so shy and sensitive that she imagines the boys do not recognize her, whereas they are so shy that they think it is she who does not recognize them. It is not like boys to “quit speaking” to a girl, even wnen.they have reason. The girl probably expects more attention from them than they are prepared to give. However, if I am wrong, there is no reason why she shouldn’t ask them what has gone wrong with their vocal chords, provided she was formerly on a more cordial basis. She should not make a serious issue of it. however, but make her inquiry good humored and casual. If they have some wrong notion in their silly heads, she should laugh it off, but never, never, never repudiate the whole male sex just because she is displeased with the behavior of a few of its members.

Indian Sand Pictures Made at Ayres’ Store Based on Navajo Legend Tradition Concerns Youth Taken to ‘Place Above’ After Unseen Power Stayed Arrow in Sparing Mountain Sheep. BY HELEN LINDSAY THE pictures being painted on the sand plot on the sixth floor of the L. S. Ayres store this week are more than colorful pictures. They are a part of one of the most impressive ceremonies of the Navajo tribe of Indians, and are known as a part of a night chant, which is a nineday ceremony. The paintings are made in accordance with an old Indian tradition. The story, as the Navajos know it. concerns three brothers who went over the mountains, hunting mountain sheep. One

was a visionary lad. to whom strange people and queer scenes were appearing constantly, unseen by his companions. As he bent his bow to shoot into a herd of sheep across the Canada, which is a wide low canyon, some unseen power held his hand. He was unable to release the bow string. Three times he tried to shoot into the herd. Each time his hand was stayed. Then the mountain sheep dropped their disguise, and appeared to him in their true form, as yei, or holy people. According to the legend, they took the youth to a “place above” and showed him sand pictures, which would help keep his people from illness and trouble. So sincere are these Indians that Dineh Slapaheh, (Gray Man) who is the sand painter with Wick Miller’s group of Indian craftsmen, will not paint the pictures of his own wind chants, but those of the night

chants. In this way he does not desecrate his own chants. The most impressive thing that these Indians have seen in their travels about the United States, according to Mr. Miller, is not the Empire State building, nor other evidence of mechanical progress. “They think Niagara Falls is the most wonderful thing they have ever seen,” Mr. Miller declares. “It is something they can appreciate; the largest amount of water they ever have seen at one time. Impressed Most by Monument THE Soldiers and Sailors Monument on the Circle is the most interesting feature of Indianapolis to them. “It is straight and tall, and a part of a ceremony," Mr. Miller explains. “That the Indian understands, since he has his own monuments to sacred things.” Wick Miller has lived with the Indians for twenty-five years. Three years ago, at the invitation of Pedro de Lemos, curator of art at Stanford university, and editor of School Arts magazine, he escorted a group of Indians to the university. In tne group which is with Mr. Miller at Ayres this week are two small children. One is a nameless six months old Navajo baby. The other is Running Around Boy whose Indian name is “Hoske-nataswood.” tt a a a a u Clouds Out of the East ” Is Among Names THE potter, Eeyani (Sea Shell), is a Pueblo Indian from Zia Pueblo, a village of 160 persons near Albuquerque, N. M. The belt weaver, Waiselo (Clouds Out of the East), is from the same village. Poolehuyowma (Butterfly) is the maker of th katchinas, or small dolls, which the Hopi Pueblos use as examples in tribal or religious teachings. Two Navajo weavers are with the group. They are the mothers of the children. Chineo-pah (Departing Woman) is the mother of Running Around Boy. The other weaver is the mother of the baby, and is known as Eekn-pah (Coming Again Woman). The wool the women use in weaving is from the sheep owned and raised by women of their tribe. The silversmith is Kahl Nez (Tall Walker). He uses a charcoal fire in shaping beads, belts, bracelets and other jewelry from silver squares.
