Mrs. Lindsay

The spring shades, blue, beige and gray, are shown in plain colors, or in c< inr combinations. One shoe which will be shown in rough leather, or simulated reptile, is a three-tie oxford, with a design of perforations, and i tlking heel. A pump In grey has a slashed side trim, inset with tucked slate colored leather, with tiny buckle at the side. The same shoe is obtainable in a combination of navy blue, trimmed in the dark slate gray. Plain pumps in the best spring colois will be shown with leather, dull gold, and composition bows. a a a ana Bags Available to Match Shoes LEATHER bags to match the shoes are shown in the same department. Copies of Schiaparelli's two-way bag. which can be changed to show one color or the other, is offered in combinations of red and blue, beige and brown, and other popular colors. Unusual trimming of fruits and flowers will be seen in the new mniiTM he store. Breton sailors in rough straw; cartwheel fiats and hats with large brims in front, which have been shortened in back, so they may be worn comfortably with spring coats, will be featured. ~ „ The pirate design in hats, baby bonnets, and other ofT-the-face styles, will be shown also. Straws will include peanut braids, baku, sisole and a jig-saw straw, which is rough straw suitable for the fashioning of sailors. . . In addition to these, Miller’s will show a line of swagger, mannish felts, practical and suitable for wear with suits which will be one of the Strong style features this spring.

Easter Parade to Show Gains by ‘New Deal’ (Continued From Page 18) white print round-up scarf with fringed edges, and a brown soft hat. She finally chose instead a sheer Jacket suit of blue with large white polka dots, to be worn under a w indswept coat of plain navy, with a belted waistline, which she can pull in as tightly as she likes. The coat has rippled revers and two pockets, well to the front, in Schiaparelli’s windswept idea. The pockets are of brown squirrel. Her hat will be a navy felt sailor, turned up sharply in front. Because she will want to wear the dress to • the suit for Sunday night dates, she chose one with a fitted waistline and short sleeves. Tire Ticket has a narrrow white pique ■'foliar, and a huge pique bow. with deep turned back cuffs of the white pique. Holding the bow and cuffs in place are bright red buttons. Virginia will carry a red patent leather bag.

Her shoes will be navy pumps and she will wear white fabric gloves. Rosemary, her older college sister, chose for her costume the top coat suit, which she knows from careful reading of fashion magazines, has been the hit of Fifth avenue. It is a three-piece suit, in a soft pastel blue, for Rosemary realizes, too, that blues of any shade are good this season. The jacket is very fitted, short, and double breasted. The skirt is straight, with three windswept pleats in the front, below the knees. The top coat is a full length one, very British in cut, with straight sleeves, and a suggestion of padding across the shoulders. It is belted across the back. Since she is too young to have fine furs, she will wear a cerise and blue round-up scarf, held in place with an initial clip in navy. Her hat will be a Breton sailor in shiny rough navy straw, turning up all around. In the lapel of her top coat she will wear two red carnations. She recently has learned that plough this fashion is accredited to Noel Coward, it really was introduced by President McKinley, and so is a real American style. Boucle Suit in Green Her chum, who was graduated from college last year, and is now working in a downtown office, will accompany her Easter afternoon to a downtown movie. She will wear a boucle suit of dark green, with a boucle blouse of lighter green in lacy mesh weave. The soft cowl neckline of the blouse will be held in place with a jeweled clip. Over it she will wear a Balmaccan top coat, buttoning high at the neck, in raincoat style, with two wooden buttons on a string, and wooden buttons down the front. The coat is made with raglan shoulders and is very full in back. She will wear a three-cornered scarf of dark and light green, the ends of which are brought around in back, and then to the front, and tied under the chin, with the ends flared slightly. Her hat will be a three-way felt, which she can wear either turned down all around; up in back and down in front, or turned up all around. On her coat will be yellow jonquils. Sports Trend Evident Though it was difficult to persuade young John to put his mind on clothing instead of basketball, he did become interested when he saw the belted back suit of tweed which copied the lines of those which his father wore for business. Anticipating the success of his school’s team in the tournament, he prevailed on his father to buy him in addition to this a double breasted suit, for dress. "You know. dad. there will be lots of parties after we win,” he said. But even this suit showed a touch of the sports influence in packet pockets and the easy fit. Mr. Public’s own choice, since he was planning to attend nothing formal. was a sports suit with belted back and easy shoulders. He chose a hairy fabric, knowing that it would not show wear so quickly. Had he been planning a formal costume he learned that he would need a black or oxford gray cut-away, with a white, buff or gray waistcoat; striped trousers, and a gray or black ascot, white wing collar and silk hat. For Lighter Formality The salesman who showed him the new Easter clothes assured him that for lighter formality he would need an oxford gray jacket, either single or double breasted; a vest to match or In white, buff or gray, and trousers of either black and white stripes, solid gray, or subdued black and white checks. With this, he would wear a white fold collar and a derby or Homberg hat. Mr. Public drew a sigh of relief when the shopping was finished. Os course, the Easter idea was a good one—but there were things which were of more interest to him just then. "Take Tech, for instance ” he said to the salesman. "What do you think of its chance of winning?”

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

The problem under discussion below should bring many letters of comment and suggestion from ethers in the same situation. Be generous enough to share the wisdom you have gained from experience in a letter to the column. I have had many letters recently containing urgent questions to which the writers requested an answer without publication of the question. They do not realize that the column would have no mearing to other readers if the q>’ ion remained hidden in every case. Another thing they do not realize is that they could not be identified

by their friends merely from the statement of the problem. Few problems are unique enough not to have a universal significance. Take the young wife, for example, who finds a love letter >in her husband's pocket and desperately wants advice, but believes that her case would in-

stantly be recognized by all who know her. How many thousands of young women have had the same experience ? I have on my desk a letter from an unusually intelligent young woman who has just had this, experience and is so deeply humiliated that she does not want one word of her letter published. Her home is depression ridden, but she has been a good sport about it. There are children to consider. Her husband insists that he loves only her and that his digression means nothing. I imagine he has spoken the exact truth. A man physically in love with his wife may be physically untrue to her. To him it means nothing. To her it means everything. Fidelity is the ideal, the demand of our ethical ego. But fidelity is not a quality bequeathed by nature. That there are people born with a beautiful capacity for fidelity is a sentimental myth. There are people who are more conservative in their behavior than others, who fear the new, unknown and unexpected. But there are no people just naturally faithful. For the most part human beings are naturally polygamous. In many men the obligation to be faithful becomes oppressive after the first few r years of marriage. Possession depreciates the charms of his too familiar wife. The need of variation leads him into new adventures to experience again the erotic joys of discovery. It is too bad that women are so completely unprepared for this situation. They've seen it happen to others, but brushed it aside with the unfounded conviction, "It never could happen to me.” Usually they could have their marriage from disaster if they had prepared themselves to ignore such excursions. Instead, their anger and heartbreak drives the husband to indulge to excess that which would have been only a brief digression if let alone. In order to justify his act, the husband finds increasing cause to quarrel with his wife. There are marriages which go to pieces when the cement that binds them suffers the smallest- fracture. There are others which weather most distressing storms in spite of temporary digressions on the part of either or both. Perhaps the saying of Schnitzler is true, that fidelity exists when one always returns to the object of his love. The wise wife who wishes to preserve her home will simply reconcile herself to the fact that whereas monogamy is desirable, few people are content with it. She will realize that fidelty can only be given, never demanded. She will overlook, pardon and understand without loss of poise, without tears, recriminations and ineffectual reproaches.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The swagger suit shown here is of beige with brown pipings fashioned of a soft woolen that looks handknit.

Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young fellow and have been going steady for the last four years with a very nice girl. The ’last month I have changed very much. I want to go out and have a good time and do what I please. My girl is the type that will not stand for‘such a thing. She thinks that after I have been decent this long that I shouldn't change now. She likes me real well and I have liked her till now. Tell me what I should do. Should I keep on as I have been or drop this nice girl and find someone different? Answer —I imagine that you will have your fling regardless of any advice of mine. Perhaps it is just as well for you to go ahead and get your craving for excitement out of your system. You may regret the loss of your nice girl when you are fed up with looser ladies. On the other hand, you’ll probably feel cheated if you step on your urges and you’ll make the girl suffer for deterring you in your desires. Whichever you do, I can offer you the far-from-comforting assurance that you’ll probably regret it. a tt Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young man 20 years old. I work, but I don’t have a car, so I don’t seem to have much chance with the girls, I don’t have a great amount of money to spend as I have to help at home. I do enjoy taking a young lady to a show now and then, but it seems they don’t like to ride street cars or busses, and I can’t afford taxis all of the time. Is it just me or is it the girls? WITHOUT A CAR. Answer—lt is true that a car seems to be an important part of the modern courtship. Many girls confess that their first question about a young man does not concern his character so much as the make of his car. Nevertheless, I have never seen a young man of any personality turned down because of his lack of a car. Your letter probably will stir up a lot of protest among girls who are more interested in a man than his car. tt St tt Dear Jane Jordan —I am a young man of 20 w’ho has had the misfortune to fall hopelessly in love. My sentiments were shared by the girl for a time. But one day I introduced her to a good friend of mine who is noted for his ability with the ladies. Now he is going with her. I would gladly marry the girl if I had the money, but with Harry it is just another frolic. However, she is infatuated with his undeniable charm, and has changed completely toward me. What steps, if any, do you think I should take? TROUBLED. Answer—Occupy yourself with ancther young lady. You should be able to fall in love most delightfully several times before you settle down. Life is full of disappointments and you may as well learn to take them gracefully. It is also full of many things to be enjoyed in spite of unavoidable griefs, GUILD RE-ELECTS MRS.

Hitler Will Be Loser on Two Edicts Forbids Cosmetics, Yet Demands German Women Marry. BY GRETTA PALMER Times Special Writer NEW YORK, March 16.—1f we were Her Hitler's well wisher and adviser —which heaven forbid! —w r e should go to him and say: "Look here. These two edicts that you passed last April and to which the American-Jewish congress is objecting in New' York sound very w'ell indeed if they are considered sepaarately. But you ought to get together with yourself. You should realize that there is an utter in-

consistency in their aims. "Take the edict of April 7. At that time you forbade German women to use lipstick and cosmetics and announced that all the good little Nazi girls must revert ‘to the type of the Germanic mother.’ “That’s fine, Herr Hitler. Straight, direct and to the point. No cosmetics or fripperies for

the German woman. "And on April 12 the Reich League of Housewives suggested a compulsory year of housework for every German girl. Good enough. "But on June 1 it was announced, in forcible terms, that spinsters would be taxed and scorned and that only the blushing bride would prove acceptable in the eyes of the state. How do, you fit these commands together?” Kitchen Yardsticks Ignored For Hitler must know, as well as you and I, that his sex has never been notable for its good sense in choosing homely, worthy wives with a knowledge of bread making, when it came time to propose. They have a way of running, as fast as they can, from the kind of girl who has “potential good wife and mother” w’ritten all over her broad brow. They want their lady loves pretty, and they want them decorative, and they think it is rather cunning of the bride to cry over her first batch of biscuits. When Hitler took their cosmetics and sheer stockings and silly little gewgaws away from the women of Germany he robbed them of one of their strongest weapons in husbandhunting and left them high and dry, with no desire to pay a spinster tax, but no man in sight who did not find them sadly lacking in sex appeal. And that, it seems to us, was a serious strategic error. Coneonformists Will Win For what will happen? Some little minx of a French girl, with high heels and Chanel scent, will come visiting in Baden-Baden and half the Nazi regiments will lay their hearts at her feet. Some unpatriotic and cynical German girls will ignore the Hitler edict and deck themselves out in feminie finery and gobble up the best husbands in the land. That means that the good, Germanic, Nazi women who were trained for motherhood may never get a chance to show how adept they could be at that art—poor things! To take every aid to allure away from the group you wish to marry, to force them to roughen their hands with dishwater and spoil their complexions with scrubbing, is a shortsighted way of attempting to gain your ends. Hitler should be told.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WITH agitation for old age pensions, anew conception of human values is flowering on American soil. The reactionaries tire resisting, of course, but resistance has become habitual with them and it would be foolish to heed their frightened premonitions. Their individualistic ideals already have proved undependable. They tell us we may expect Americanism to die. the Constitution to collapse, aand the treasury to become a more vacuum if all upright, industrious men and women of more than sixty-five are provided with a slim livelihood for their last years. But their reasoning is as wrong as their vision is short. For no legal enactment would do more to energize the national economic order than an old age pension law. Let us look at the facts carefully. The fear of poverty is the greatest incentive to greed, and not the father of all civil crime? From the day the boy begins his career, he carries in the back of his mind the nagging thought that he must accumulate, save and even stint himself of those luxuries which make life full and beautiful lest he and his family starve amid full w’heat bins u r hen he has become too old and weak to work. Our entire competitive

system, which is responsible for so much social misery and so many wretchad lives, has this fear for its crumbling foundation. A thousand ventures every year are not made, a million generous deeds go undone because those who are moved by large impulses dare not let go of what they already possess. They are frightened by the thought that during the saddest period of their lives -they may have to exist upon charity. And charity is the bitterest of all sustenance. The old have few wants. Years strip from us most of our desire for excess and leave simplicity. Fewer veterans’ pensions, would be necessary if we took proper care of all otir aged, while there would be the added advantage of knowing we were giving crime a sock in the jaw. The individual who had served a prison term hardly would ask protection from a society to which he had proved enemy and traitor. Nor is this all of the story, for it is not possible to estimate the gain in confidence .inventiveness and in increased initiative and joy that such a social improvement would bring. These would be immeasurable. Two Will Entertain Misses Elizabeth Scott and Maude Pried will be hostesses for a meeting of Indianapolis Alumnae chapter of Pi Lambda Theta, honorary educational sorority, at 2 Saturday at their home, 4159 Guilford avenue.
