Doctor Says (Youth Lacks Life's Facts Child’s Sophistication Is Often Overrated by Parents. BY f.RI TT \ PALMER limr* Htit*r. N r EW YORK.

life are more numerous than you w uld believe possible, ’’ he said. • Girls with no preparation at all for marriage or motherhood are a routine occurrence here. Young husbands who have no clear knowledge ci sex are far from exceptional.” The parents of the young people cf today, he said, are inclined to l>e to gullible. They have heard so much about the sophistication ot modem girls that they think any strictures on the subject would be an impertinence. Many a mother, taken m by the legend of flaming youth, assumes that her daughter .. * and all that n tvelock Ellis has to say on the subject of sex, ii; fight volume*. Often the randmother was when she left the female seminary. "And remember thus,” the doctor added "The young girl brought up in a city today has no opportunity for picking up a knowledge cf such matters, as the daughter of a farmer or a plantation owner might have done. The robust incic nts of the barnyard are a mystery to her Even her pet poodle is removed to the veterinary's when motherhood impends. If the modern young woman is not informed of such matters in so many words she will enter marriage in a state ot ignorance impossible to the daughters of most generations of the past.” A misplaced romanticism is at the bottom ot many parents’ reluctance to give their children information which they have every human rieht to possess. Innocence and ignorance have somehow bc-c-'Kic entangled in the minds of members of the older generation the fresh charm of the girl graduate would, they feel, be imperiled by any very clear information about vhat she may expect on the other side of the altar. It is appalling to consider how many marriages have been wrecked by this ostrich philosophy on the part of the parents of the bride and bridegroom. Granted that sex is quite as dangerous and inflammatory a subject as the most prudish papa suspects—but so is fire. So is Broadway traffic. Yet a father and mother would not withhold information about the uses of fire extinguishers or the significance of green lights from their children, would they? It is doubtful that a single girl has ever gone astray because' of her possession of complete and accurate knowledge of the facts of life. Thousands of girls have become involved m serious trouble through ignorance of them. Mr. and Mrs Robert W. Todd will return next week from Burt Lake, Mich, where they have been visiting Mrs. Todd's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Barrett.

Dinner Dress Modeled at Ayres ’
Miss Luci nda Smith •h of L S. Ayres & Cos. models a dinner dress of black velvet which flows in simple lines for an extremely feminine effect. The sleeves, full to the elbow, are slit open from the shoulder to elbow, and the back, open from the neckline to the waist, belies the modest appearance. A jade green buckle fastens the belt in front.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY IV. E. M’KENNEY Srrrrtarv American Bridee Lracue I RECEIVED today's interesting hand from Ralph R. Richards, j Detroit, founder and first president I of the American Bridge League. Mr. Richards has always had a reputation as a great card player. He sent me the hand with the remark that ‘These youngsters are quick to get into a no trump contract today, and they certainly keep you hustling to try and beat them.” However m this hand Mr. Richards was successful in defeating the slam contract at no trump. Most tables played the hand at hearts, and of course six odd is easy.
Suu m s jump to three hearts is a game demand. North shows anew feature in his hand when he bids four diamonds, making a mild slam try'- South accepts that when he bids four no trump. South’s bid of five hearts shows a! suit of five cards or more. With this information, South went to six no trump. However, six hearts would have been the safer contract, as South must depend upon North to take most of the low card tricks.
WEST’S opening lead was the queen of spades which South won with the ace. The queen of diamonds was played, West covering with the king and dummy winning the trick with the ace. A small club was played from dummy. Richards in the East played the queen of clubs so as to prevent South from finessing the ten of clubs if he held it. South, however, made a very fine play of a low club —the four. Now, if Richards had been careless and returned his partner’s suit a spade—South would have made his contract in the following manner;
The spade trick would have been won with the king. The ten of diamonds would have been cashed and then five hearts run off. On the fifth heart, Richards in the East would have been squeezed. He could not hold the nine and eight of diamonds and two clubs, so he would have to bear down to the king of clubs. Then the declarer would have had to cash the jack of diamonds in dummy, lead the jack of clubs and overtake with the ace. winning the last trick with the eight of clubs. However, in defeating the hand. ' Richards returned the king of clubs, South was forced to win the trick with the ace and this killed his exit card from dummy. An especially nice try defeated by good defensive play. (Copyright. 1934. NEA Service. Inc.)

dearly. I know she wouldn’t do anything to hurt them or cause them to be looked down upon. That’s not all. On a few occasions that I know of, he has whipped her with a strap. Don’t you think he is going a little too far since he isn't a model husband and does things that are against the law? LOUISE. Answer—Your friends behave like a pair of babies squabbling in a sandbox. In spite of their chronological maturity they have developed beyond the emotional stage of very small children. When they are crossed they throw things out and howl. This situation is far more common in marriage than any one suspects. People who have made outstanding professional and business successes often revert to the infantile level when confronted with the emotional situations of marriage. To expect a successful partnership between them is only the wishful thinking of a Polly anna. You represent the wife in the case as the abused party. This may be true. If she really is more mature and emotionally stable than the husband she either will find a way to control his childish tantrums or she will take her children and escape from them. No other person can help her very much. She will have to find ways and means for herself. The ability to meet the emergencies of life on one’s own initiative is the mark of a grown-up person, e an Dear Jane Jordan —I am 20 years old and going to college.

I go into crying spells when he is not with me because 1 think he is out with someone else. He told me that if I wanted to have other dates to do so, w’hich hurt me very much. He is beginning to act very strange toward me. He admits he doesn’t love me, though he says he doesn’t love any one else. At times I have a nasty, disagreeable temper, which makes him very angry.

Lucinda Smith, Model at Ayres, Recalls Thrill of Appearing Before Buyers Work Is Exacting, but Wearing of Delicate Fashions Credited by Artists Is Compensation Enough, She Finds. This is the fourth of a series of sash ion stories heinr written bT e*t*ert directing the fashion panorama of local stores. ss ss ss BY LUCINDA SMITH Model at 1,. S. Ayres, who modeled in New York during the fall opening*. THERE was a burst of applause as the bridal dress was paraded through the showrooms of Jo Copeland, Inc. This marked 3 most satisfactory ending to the •'opening" of the fall season. An opening is similar to a fashion show in retail stores. It means showing a line c.r collection for the first time. About one hundred buyers and assistants had sat watching the mannequins show the lovely suits, daytime dresses and evening ensembles —the silence broken only by the announcing of the numbers. There usually is an air of intense excitement Will the line 'be accepted? At Jo Copeland's it was very evident that it would be. wholeheartedly. Some of the buyers, however, maintain sober faces throughout the performance, so that rival buyers will not have conflicting choices. It's fun to watch them. In the weeks before the opening the clothes are designed and fitted to the particular model. It is always a joy to be called into Miss Copeland's room, and to stand motionless while her small, efficient hands put a pin here and there m the material. In a short time a dress is conceived, with perhaps a suggestion of a coat or cape, from one long piece of fabric. From her room the dress goes to the sample room where the pattern is cut—usually of muslin first, and the dress then takes shape. ss ss ss ss ss ss Tells of Striking Daytime Costume OFTEN much time is spent in choosing the pin or clip or buckle. They must be just right, and are often copies of authentic pieces of real stone jewelry. The glamour of modeling at a manufacturing place may disappear entirely, after long hours of simply pulling dresses on and off. but reallv there is always a thrill to wearing clothes designed by an artist and made of the finest and most beautiful of domestic and imported fabrics. One of the most striking daytime costumes was a tunic dress, done in a Russian fashion, and made of black imported velvet. This was worn with a high cossack hat, and a huge stole of black skunk—a fur which seems to be coming back into the limelight. It was the* sort of thing Greta Garbo should wear, and it looked marvelous on Bobbie, one of the Copeland models. An evening ensemble I never tired of wearing was a black velvet fitted dress with a cape, a square collar and a heavy bow of velvet, with a wide band of ermine shirred on in lavish fashion. ss ss ss ss ss ss Other Modelings Described THERE are many others I could describe; a stunning suit of rose tweed, with a jacket of leopard lapin: a gold inetal cloth evening dress with tiny braided straps, and a dinner dress of sapphire silverthreaded jersey. All were beautiful, and wearable. And now a little inside "dope” from the models’ room. We had a lot of fun in there; most of it very silly and irrelevant, brought on perhaps by the heat, or maybe just by the proximity of five giddy girls. Often we would swallow a laugh, go out and walk through the showroom in a dignified manner, and come back to finish enjoying the joke. Sometimes at about 4:30 on a hot afternoon, after a long day of showing, one of the girls would come in and announce in a dead voice that some buyers were in to see the whole line. This always brought out the question, “Are buyers really people?” because this seemed to be the last straw, when one’s hair was out of curl and one's skin covered with wool and velvet lint. But with the promise that after showing the clothes we could go home, we modeled with great enthusiasm, and then dashed home to our showers and dinners.
this be making the change in him? I’m afraid I am gradually losing him, which would mean the end for me. Please tell me what to do to test his affections. DESPERATELY IN LOVE. Answer—The chances are that your intensity has frightened the young man away. He doesn’t want to be pinned down, and in this he is smarter than you are. Girls take their love affairs too seriously. Boys do not dare to see too much of them for fear they will be swept into a disagreeable emotional storm. It is a great mistake to test a young man’s affections just as they are beginning to jell. It is like opening the oven door on an intricate cake. The jar makes it fall flat. You are trying to clutch love with hands that are too greedily possessive. It can’t b£ done. Let go.

friends, but says she thinks just as much of me as of him, and would marry me now if I had a job. It is just about to drive me crazy. I would crawl on my knees to her if it would do any good. lam so downhearted I feel like committing suicide. If I don't get her back, something is going to happen. DOWNHEARTED. Answer —It is the sense of personal failure that is eating you. Your suicide impulses are a geteven reaction and entirely childish. A love disappointment makes a strong man and breaks a weak one. If you are as courageous as I think you are you will compensate for this .failure by becoming a howling success in business and marry a girl far superior to the one who washed out on you in your hour of need.
