BY BEATRICE BL'RGAN Timm Wnmin'i Paj* Editor II7E openly brushed tears from "" our eyes last night at the Players' Club a.s Montgomery S Lewis walked to the gallows in “The Valiant,” second play of the evenings entertainment. We weren't ashamed when we noted our escorts visibly moved.
Applause for Mr. Lewis’ portrayal of the murderer, who went to his death wuth his real identity unknown to the world, marked it as one of the most popular of the year. “The valiant never taste of death but once," he whispered as he marched to his doom, valiantly sparing his

family the knowledge of his plight. Everett McCoy, Herbert Foltz. Mrs Raymond Mead and Albert Deluse were ably supported by Mr. Lewis in the play by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemass. Mrs. Kurt Pantzer was excellent with Robert Wild in “The Worm.” As the young woman consumed by jealousy of the other women in her lover's life, she rose to the heights of varying emotions, from repentance to denunciation. Wears Black Net Mrs. Pantzer wore a stunning two-piece gown of black cotton net. The neckline of the dress was finished in tailored fashion with a white four-in-hand tie. White pearl buttons dotted the gown to the waistline. The three-quarter jacket had sleeves, generously full to the elbows. Mrs. Wild, wife of the provoking element in Mrs. Pantzer s stage role, wore a sheer crispy organza gown striped in brown and white. The perennial favoritp. black crepe, was fashioned smartly in the gown of Mrs. Reginald Garstang. The long sleeves ingeniously combined lace and chiffon for a graceful effect. Mrs. Elsa Pantzer Haerle's shell pink frock swished with a narrow ruffle about the bottom of the skirt and assumed smartness with white organza flowers trimming the neckline.
Chooses Green Chiffon Miss Ruth Milliken's green chiffon gown fit snugly, and flat velvet bows of coral looped over the shoulder straps. Miss Philena Hamil's long black velvet wrap had a swirling white fox collar. Mrs. William Ray Adams’ white ermine cape was tied at the neckline in ascot fashion, with ermine tails finishing the ties.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
Po you need advice in your love affairs? Write to Jane Jordan for revealing information about your own hidden motives! Letter of comment are also welcome.
Dear Jane Jordan I suppose you will call me and my girl friend silly and absurd, but you see we are different from most girls—we hate boys. The reason is that boys think entirely too much of themselves and are con-
stantly getting girls in their power. My friend ,and I thought w e had found the right kind of boy, but as all dreams do, it tumbled away. I hold on because I think you can change him. He looks like a Chinese. His eyes have magnetic pow-

er. (But the funny part of it is I have small, brown eyes and I can look at him just like he looks at me.) His hair is as slick as a ribbon and he combs it straight back. He is fantastic, conceited and cynical. Strange and queer, he can make anybody do what he wants. The boys on the basketball team walk the cha’k line for him, and the girls bow down before him. I can't see why glris are so silly as to show they are crazy about him. No, I won't do that. I simply act as if he didn't exist. If locks ever killed any one, we both should be dead. He really doesn't like girls and my friend and I don't like boys. Here is what is in my head. I would like for us kids to get together and have fun. pop corn, play tennis, skate and all that. Just be friends. I hate this thing called beaux. I think it silly and romantic. How can I tell him my plans when we detest each other? He has a boy friend just like him. Now really don't you think we four kids could have a fine time without ail the modern mushy stuff? WIV.
Answer—For a girl who does not like boys you certainly show an amazing preoccupation with one of them. Probably your irritation with him lies in the fact that you would like to be a boy yourself. How can we account for so much antagonism except through some form of jealousy ? The corn-popping bee tennis and skating parties all argue that you want to be accepted as another boy rather than as a sweetheart. It is better for you to accept the fact that you are a girl and make use of your feminine charms instead of despising them. If you really want the young man. let him play the great leader in peace. Your cue is to make him think he is better than he really is instead of trying to batter down his masculine ego. Why do you feel that you must break his proud neck? Is this necessary to make you conscious of your own power? If so. then you must secretly feel inferior to boys. Many girls are brought up to feel that boys have superior opportunities in our culture. This situation makes them strive to imitate bevs, to adopt their sports and to try for the dominant role in friendships. Such girls hold their femininity in low esteem. They avoid the tricks of their sex as a weakness, and cast aspersions on romance in which they arc cast in the passive role. While comradeship between boys and girls is a very fine thing, it does not hold the interest of boys for long if it is minus the fillip of ro-

mance. If you really want to charm the young man, it is better for you to appear to recognize his superiority instead of trying to force him to recognize yours. a a a Dear Jane Jordan Do you think a fellow really loves a girl if he sees and tells her of her shortcomings continually and she tries in every way to correct the things that get on his nerves? If I correct one thing he finds another. and I am not half as bad as he makes me. I lose confidence in myself when I am with him. Others don't see me as he sees me. I never had any one to find so much fault with me before, and still want me. I quit him. but one week is as long as he can stand to stay away from me. He promises to do better, but it only lasts three or four days when the same thing happens over again. I think lots of him and miss him, too, but I realize we will never get along. Don’t you think I am wasting my time on him? LONELY. Answer—Yes, I'm afraid so. You won't stay in love with him long if he continues to knock down your ego. We love people because they make us feel superior. We appreciate them because they appreciate us. Apparently the young man is not in love with your real personality, but with what he believes you can become. Possibly he finds fault with you in order to emphasize his own superiority. Such a man is impossible as a husband. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—Here is my dilemma: I am just a poor hard working boy trying to make my way in the world and it seems as though I just can’t succeed. I have been going with a little Irish girl named Kitty, but she has dates with a lad named Harry and another named Paul. Although I have done everything in my power to make her happy it seems as though there is something lacking. I would like to have a little home and settle down to enjoy the rest of my life. lam getting to the age where one should think about something besides carousing and making whoopee. I really have come to the point where I think there is no justice in the world. You know if one keeps trying all the time and gets nowhere. what can a poor little Irish boy like me do? Do you think that one is justified in committing suicide? Or would it be better to tell her that it will be her or else? BAFFLED BERNIE. Answer—l always advise a young man in your situation to accept the young lady's "no" and go light his

The boy took a notion he would like to run around thinking he could have me back. But since he left I have almost forgotten him. I met another fellow' that I care for. He w'ants to get married.

City Woman to Assist in Unusual Feature at National Flower Show Miss Elizabeth Bertermann Will Co-operate in Presenting Forty-Five Models at Rochester, N. Y. BV HELEN LINDSAY WHEN she was a little girl Elizabeth Bertermann made purses of flowers for her dolls. Now that she has grown, she admits that “flowers seem like people'' to tier, and that in her arrangement of them, she often has to change her own plans, “because, like people, they just won't go where you think they should.” Because she has this instinctive love of flowers and plants. Miss Bertcrman considered a trip to the New York flower show the most attractive vacation she could p'an.
She returned from the show this week, ‘ull of admiration for the products of these eastern amateur gardeners, for the New York show was largely a display of the plants produced bv members of garden clubs. An accidental discovery led to the planning of the New’ York show in this manner. When, as a last minute move, a garden spot was used to fill an empty space in a Boston show, it became the center of interest. Exhibitors discovered that the public is more interested in a display showing a real garden than in tables of flowers in pots and vases. Four floors of exhibits formed the show. Miss Bertermann found of much interest the educational exhibit of the Brooklyn botanical gardens, where propagation methods were shown, and poster paints were used in bright colors on trees and shrubs, to show the methods of pruning. She is enthusiastic about classes for garden clubs in shadow box arrangement.
and in displays of seeds, pottery, garden hats and novelties, which were shown around the edges of the floors on which the garden displays were seen. a a a a a a Flower-Costume Exhibit Scheduled IN anticipation of the national flower show to be held at. Edgerton Park, in Rochester. April 18 and 19. when she will assist Mrs. Bert Schiller MacDonald of Chicago. Miss Bertermann investigated the use of flowers with various types of costumes. In the Rochester show, she and Mrs. MacDonald will have forty-five models, showing appropriate corsages and flower arrangements for sports, daytime and evening costumes. “Women in the east have realized just what flowers can do to a costume,” she explains. “It is a revival of a custom which we hope to see spread to the middle west. In several of the larg" ores in New York, I saw atractive girls, dressed in becoming costumes, pushing small pushcarts laden with fresh flowers through the stores. The woman shopper was able in this way to select just the corsage suitable for her costume. “Carnations still are the accepted fiow'ers for morning street wear, and for sports costumes. Later in the day when street costumes show luxurious furs, sprays of cymbidiums, brown or light pink orchids, are j worn. “In the afternoon, smartly dressed women are wearing violets, with j stems exposed, or full blown roses. A cluster of three large red open j roses, or three large yellow ones are being used now, in preference to the buds which have been used in the past. a a a bub Wide Choice Permissible for Ereuiuc/ “TA JTANY varities of real flowers can be worn in the evening. S|iee JLVI real flowers are being used in evening coiffures, many of the more fragrant fiow'ers are used in this way. Gardenias are seen; open roses, and bandeaux of freezias, lilies of the valley and sweetheart roses.” The white or red carnation is still the proper flower to be worn by the man in the Easter parade, according to Miss Bertermann. To take the place of live rabbits, which are not always suitable gifts for children at Easter. Bertermann’s is showing pottery wdiite rabbits, which can be filled w'ith colorful anemones, or other bright colored flowers. Smaller pottery rabbits are show r n, with tiny lily of the valley plants growing in them, or small cacti. Other Indianapolis persons w 7 ere interested in the New York flower show. Mrs. Hathaway Simmons, returning from a European trip, stopped in New 7 York to attend.
