Animal Crackers Herald Circus Ball to Be Given April 7 by Civic Theater Posters Also Announce Costume Event Which Will Be Held in Athenaeum; Barkers to Be in Evidence. BY BEATRICE BURGAN TimM Woman'* Page Editor ANIMAL CRACKERS tied to placards si re heralding the Civic theater's circus ball. We were tempted to nibble at them during exciting moments of ‘ Three-Cornered Moon’’ last week-end. Gaudy colored posters in our favorite eating places are reminding us of Saturday night, April 7, when we must dress up and go to the circus ball at the Athenaeum. If Norman Green is heard mumbling to himself about sawdust and monkey cages, remember he's only keeping account of his plans for the

decorations of the German house for the ball “We are going to put the Orchestra in a monkey cage with sawdust strewn around it.” he confided. "We ll pitch a tent in the basement of the Athenaeum, which will blaze with color. Circus posters, ballyhooing the marvels of the snake charmer, the skinny man and fat iady will hang from the walls. All these details are requiring close attention, which is being given by Misses Dorothy Campbell, Mary Jane Alspach, Betty Jeanne Balz, Louise Fletcher, Mary Florence Fletcher. Laura Miller. Priscilla Pittenger and Betty Vanderbilt; Messrs. John Coleman. William Craigle, Robert Emhardt, Edward Green, John Henley. Lawrence Hill, Dick Hoover, Eugene McMannamon, Myles Sweeney and Lionel Wiggam. Perry Meek and Walker Winslow will be barkers, acclaiming the attractions of the circus, Mrs. C. C.

Miss Kurgan

man; Francis Sonday, the trapeze artist. An acrobatic family, the Undaunted Duds, will entertain with a variety of tricks. The “talented ’ family will include Don McDufTy, Paul Krause, Egan Lacy, Lawrence , Hill and Dr. William H. Cook. It is rumored that Walter PfafT will be the ringmaster, and Katherine Morris will cavort about as the clown. Mrs. Robinson will lead the band during the entertainment interludes. Helping Mrs. Robinson solve the entertainment problem are Mrs. John K. Ruckelshaus, Mrs. Jack Goldberg. Mrs. Herbert Todd, Mrs. Sidney Stein, Miss Weil, Miss Morris, Mr. PfafT, Misses Mildred Blacklidge, Betty Collier, Anne Torian and Reginald Garstang. Miss Gretchen Grant, student at Erskine Junior College for Girls in Boston, Mass., is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse R. Grant, during the Easter holiday. Miss Grant will return Sunday.

Manners and Morals

Bring vour conflicts and perplexities to Jane Jordan who will help vou to think out your problem bv her answers in this column. Comments from other readers are always welcome. Dear Jane Jordan—l am confronted with a situation which I am not able to solve satisfactorily. At the age of 28 my husband grew tired of me and I was compelled to readjust my manner

of living and s u p p ort myself. I felt that I was a model w'ife and as true as steel to my husband. After receiving what I felt was a hard break when 1 had /done nothing to justify it, I decided that I would never allow' men to enter my life again.

Jane Jordan

For two years I was forced to work in a very poor environment, and my social contacts were rotten. I had a nervous breakdown recently and felt I had nothing to live for. I went to a specialist and he advised me to lead a fuller life, dance, play cards, make whoopee and go on a few petting parties. He told me to associate w r ith those on my own social level and to indulge in bodily relations, as that was the underlying cause of my condition. I took him at his word. I now have perfect health. But I was reared to be the conservative type and my conscience whips me daily. I don’t pet promiscuously, and do not drink. I have always been respected for my high standards of morality. I bitterly repent each time. Am I justified in living like this as a preservative of mv health? Is there a way out? ANNETTA. Answer—Your doctor was biologically sound but psychologically unsound in his advice. He did not take into account the painful strug-

gle between the primitive and the cultural ego generated by a sudden departure from deeply rooted traditional standards. The ideals of the past are always stronger than the decisions of the present, what is past is inevitably the enemy of what is present. No matter how I might justify your conduct, I could not relieve you of your own secret self-condemnation. Your doctor is quite properly in revolt against the moral hypocrisy which demands you to throttle the source of all life while your husband finds satisfaction without stigma. As one writer puts it, he is one of those pioneer leaders “who, like Moses, would lead us out of the wilderness and enforced asceticism into the promised land of pleasure.” But unfortunately physical satisfaction is not a panacea. Isolated sexual experiences are powerless to assuage the love hunger of the human heart or to rescue the individual loneliness of life. What makes you think you can’t win a husband? A change of attitude brought about one striking

change in your life. From a brooding, embittered woman you changed into a lady of comparatively easy virtue. You got what you looked for, but no more. Isn’t it possible that another change of attitude will change the scene again? Sfet anew goal and work toward it. Look this time for a permanent love relationship which will bring with it deeper joys than the protest period of whoopee. I believe you can succeed. tt n Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of ,16 —and I am very much puzzled about having dates. I have a stepmother. My own father is good to me at times, but I believe he does everything my stepmother tells him to. They go away together and leave me to care for their children. This has been going on for four years. The only pleasure I could have would be to have dates, but I don’t believe it w'ould pay me to ask, because father is afraid I will marry soon. I go away once or twice a month over the weekend, but no matter where I go I am not satisfied. I have a man on my mind who is older than me. He is awfully good to me when I am with him, and that is just fifteen or twenty minutes a week. What would you suggest for me to do? A DAILY READER. Answer—You’ll have to get your courage together and talk the problem out with your father. He has no right to deprive you of companionship with the young, or to put duties on you beyond your years. He probably does not realize that he does so. I do not believe that companionship with the older man is what you need, so much as light-hearted good times with boys and girls of your own age. No doubt you think of this older man as a potential escape from your home and your stepmother, whose presence you resent. This is no basis for a love affair. Besides, you’re too young for more responsibilities. What you

need is more social contacts with your contemporaries, and a more interesting way to fill your leisure. u tt a Dear Jane Jordan—Your correspondent W. B. with her lefthanded romance, has everything to lose and nothing that is not merely temporary, to gain. The man is evidently an opportunist, willing to take what she will give, but not willing to disturb his family standing, economically or emotionally. Asa matter of fact he probably does not dislike his wife. Her novelty has worn off as W. B.’s may when he has taken what she has to offer of affection and eager service that devoted women give to the man they love. Without the excitement of new love, secret or open, life will seem very flat and unprofitable to W. B. But I would suggest that she start substituting anew interest for this affair which will come to little or nothing. If she will focus her affections on someone older or younger, for whom she can do openly the little love services she has been tendering to her married lover, she will find that life is not only bearable, but may become a happy experience. May I say that peace of mind comes when such an unequal relationship is dissolved and that it is worth a lot to any woman and man. Why should she give all and he accept all? Think of it that way and find someone else to love. ONE WHO HAS SUCCEEDED IN SUBSTITUTING. Answer—A courageous person will always find other interests to put in place of those which have failed to satisfy.

Handkerchiefs Become Important Factors in Complementing Fashion Block’s Display for Easter Includes Tweed Designs in Linen; Large Floral Patterns Also Offered. BY HELEN LINDSAY WHETHER the Easter promenade costume is a colorful sports outfit. for a tailored tweed suit, the handkerchief which it needs to complement it will be found in the display at the Wm. H. Block Company. Handkerchiefs, which once were tiny squares of lace and linen, now are as important a part of the costume as hat. shoes and gloves. Among the new ones at Block's are organdies, in flowered prints, to go with the new rhallis dresses and blouses. They have the tiniest hand-hoiled hems, nd are quaintly attractive in their soft, sprigged

.esigns. Other new organdy handkerchiefs are shown in est. muted prints, in pastels and in white. Linen print handkerchiefs, in tweed designs, are ihown exclusively at Block's, to be used with spring .weed topcoat and suits and swagger coats. In the large patterned designs, showing bright rolors, are huge floral patterns, of three and four olcr combinations. Russian figures are used on other handkerchiefs, the designs and the colors having the appearance of hand-blocked work. One of the most popular of the new handkerchiefs is one in grey and white, with the border a deep tweed patterned design. Neckerchiefs and handkerchiefs in matching sets are offered. Some show bright colored diagonal stripes. Others have nautical designs, in red and

blue, and are obtainable with pique purses with similar designs on them, a a a Empress Pu Yi Called Most Beautiful r I 'HE Empress Pu Yi of Manchuokuo, has been named by Earl Carroll, famous connoisseur of beauty on the stage, as the loveliest of a 1 rulers. Mr. Carroll, who is in Hollywood for Paramount’s filming of his Murder at the Vanities, ’ made the selection in a recent interview, when he was asked his opinion of the Oriental type of beauty. He declined to name the film actress whom he considered the most beautiful, .saving that he had not met them all, and that it was impossible to judge beauty merely from the screen. I think of beauty as beauty in everything," Mr. Carroll said. “When we speak of beauty, we mean perfection as far as we personally believe beauty should be. My present ideas of beauty are the same as when I staited in business. However, I do think we improve as we grow older. We have higher standards of excellence, so I am sure that I have a keenei eye for beauty than when I first started musical shows. I believe girls are more beautiful today, when we have a greater demand.” In spite of the present vogue for Mae West curves, Mr. Carroll believes that the standard of weight for girls will not vary. “I don't believe a 16-year-old girl wants to look like Mae West,” he asserted. a a Table Cloths Used for Sports Attire r "D USSIAN and Mexican styled table cloths are being used in making costumes for sports wear. The cloths are made in various sizes, to meet many style requirements. The fifty-four-inch cloth can be cut into swagger coats and jackets. Cloths measuring sixty by eighty inches are suitable for three-piece outfits. Mess jackets, vest and skirt are made of them. One eastern school is using suits like these as temporary uniforms. The advantage of the new cloths for sports costumes has been seen by some costume manufacturers, and shoe manufacturers and handbag factories are using them for new spring creations.
