Vassar Ends ‘Smoking in Rooms’ Ban College Girl Should Be Given Same Liberty as Man Student. BY GRETTA PALMER Tiroes Special Writer. NEW YORK, March 9.— Vassar removes ban on smoking iA rooms,” said the headline. And our personal cheering section went into immediate action. Within the last decade your mentor was very nearly expelled from said institute of higher learning for

smoking for the third time —perhaps being caught smoking for the third time would be more in accordance with the facts. The attendant alarums seemed, and still seem, so much rococo nonsense. But that was the way young ladies were brought up in the dark, o r Scott Fitzgerald, age.

Miss Palmer

That was not the way young men were brought up, mind you. | At Harvard. Princeton and Yale you could smoke yourself into a bad state of catarrh and nobody said “Boo.” You could also drink yourself into a coma or stay out until 5 in the morning without receiving so much as a disciplinary frown j from the authorities. You still can. But at Vassar and other such | well-bred repositories of young ! womanhood it was not considered proper to smoke. Nor were you al- ! lowed to go driving unchaperoned j with any man who could not prove, ! by a letter from his mayor or pasI tor, his close family relationship. You could not indulge your tastes for the gaudy night life of Poughkeepsie after 10. nor go to New York more than four week-ends a year. Why you could not do these things must remain forever a mystery. Treated Like Children Girls who go to college range in age from 17 to 23. Men who go to i college range in age from 17 to 22. But the discrepancy between the freedom permitted to the two groups is something which would make any feminist seethe. In fact, it does. The maturity of the young women of college years compares very favorably with that of their brothers. These girls are, on the whole, several shades less dissolute, a number of degrees more strait-laced, several inches better able to take care of themselves. But they are still treated like rather helpless and delinquent children at a time when their male contemporaries are permitted most of the privileges of grown-up life. For the last few decades philosophers have been pointing out the fact that girls mature more rapidly than men. For the last few i .n----turies our laws have assumed that at 18 a woman is as capable of performing the duties of citizenship as her brother would be at 21. Why, then, should girls have to submit to this enforced chaperonage in colleges and schools? Alumna Calls for New Deal The contemporary belief that sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander has not as yet begun to operate until both goose and gander have passed the mile-post of 22. It is assumed that there is a wide difference between the conduct permissible to a man and to a woman •whose ages fail below that mark. Personally, we favor the complete elimination of all campus rules which are more paternalistic thap those laid down by the local police regulations. Tire girls who are attending Vassar today and tomorrow are going out into a "world where no such compulsions hedge their freedom around; they might just as well, it seems, get used to savoring the privileges and responsibilities of liberty now. In such colleges there is a tendency to reject any liberalization of the rules on the plea that the alumnae will raise an awful howl. ; Just why the alumnae should have j any say has always been obscure, I but if they have here is one per- < fectly good alumna, with papers in ! order, who says: “Let the undergraduates smoke if they like. Let them drink if they want to. Let them do anything at all that a young man in college is permitted to do. Smart Sport Shirt Pique blouses with square necklines and short sleeves promise to be the most popular type of sports shirt this year. Many are monogrammed and some have little scarfs and hats to match. One new set includes a pique blouse, scarf, hat, with rolled brim, and gauntlet gloves—each piece decorated with a blue embroidered anchor.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

OLD friends, old love, old books are the most pleasurable companions. And so it is delightful to be able to give Charles Dickens welcome. He has lain too long upon the high shelves of our libraries. Although by many he is regarded as old-fashioned, he has something very important to say to us, exactly as he had something very important to say the Victorians of his time. His hitherto unpublished story, the “Life of Our Lord,” which is appearing in the Scripps-Howard newspapers may remind us anew of Jesus and His social codes. Charles Dickens never forgot them. In every book he wrote he reminded his contemporaries of the inequalities, the injustices, the inhumanities they tolerated and often did not even see. Dickens saw them all. He has been dead for a long time but individuals of which his characters are prototypes still walk among us. Our world is peopled with Scrooges and Tiny Tims and little Jos and Uriah Heeps. Modern David Copperfields and Nicholas Nicklebys struggle against outer circumstance and inner tragedy: Fagins and Oliver Twists continue to battle. Complacency also may sit enthroned in our high places, but the little cricket also chirps upon our hearths. CARD PARTY TO BE GIVEN BY CHAPTER St. Patrick card party will be held at 8 Monday night at the home of Mrs. Paul korby under auspices of Gamma Delta chapter of Kappa Delta Phi sorority and Dr. J. Vidya Lindsay. The program will include songs by Dr. Lindsay, followed by a lecture on “Personal Appearances in Public Life.” Reversible Capes Capes are being shown everywhere. Sage, green and beige wool twopiece frocks are accompanied with reversible hip-length capes having one side of fabric and the other side fur, as panther or ragondin, which resembles beaver.

There is a living quality of universal appeal m the masterpieces of Charles Dickens. When we have finished the “Life of Our Lord" it would be good for us to read them again. Those friends are worth going back to see occasionally. When we visit them once more perhaps we shall realize that mankind has moved a long way forward in spite of all our pessimisms. There is anew attitude toward social wongs, a different conception of justice from that which prevailed in the London where the novelist walked. Dtckens, himself, gave humanity a tremendous shove ahead. And however dark the skies above us may look, it needs but one evening spent with him to give us the assurance that we are making a better world, though the process may seem infinitely slow and ultimate perfection infinitely distant.
