Leisure Club Is Founded bv Hoosier
Group Has Devised 700 Ways to Enjoy Idle Time. BV MAR V MARGARET M BRIDE Tiib'i Special Writer NEW YORK. Auk 17—The Leisure League of America has discovered 700 ways to spend leisure time Add the way the league's president, James S. Stanley, spends his. and you have 701. Mr Stanley * unique idea for a hobby came to him out of the blue. It was to found a non-profit-mak-ing organisation to promote other people's hobbies. So he did It, and without salary devotes at least twelve hours out of the twentyfour to it. He has a couple of profit-making businesses besides—a chain of gas stations on Long Island and a petroleum transport proposition in New York harbor—but both are in charge of managers. **l never was a man to let my business run me.” explained the brisk, sandy-haired Leisure League president, interviewed in his office In Rockefeller Center. *•1 believe in delegating authority and letting it stay delegated. My theory is that there would be a lot more happiness in this world if more people would pass up the chance for making a lot of money and spend a greater part of their time building things for the pure joy of building. .Many Noted Advisers “This thing was created out of nothing and there is no more exciting or fascinating occupation in the world than creating something irom nothing. It's all for fun, though. Don't let anybody get the idea that we are trying to ram hobbies down people's throats. We don't want to preach; we re not a busy-body bunch, and there is no mystery about us, either. We simply want to help the public learn about leisure—if it wants to learn.” The league has accumulated a weighty board of advisers, including a half-dozen editors of important magazines, the president of I the Beethoven Society, a number of j writers and heads of recreation enterprises. Eight books written by j experts on various hobbies already ! have been sent out to the public and twenty more are now in preparation. Already the list of little blue volumes has on it such intriguing titles as “Getting Acquainted With Your Children.” with a foreword by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt; "What to Do About Your Invention,” "Photography for Fun,” “You Can Write,” j “Tropical Fish,” "How to Spend Your Husband's Leisure" and “Care and Feeding of Hobby Horses.” National Exhibit Planned Next May the league is planning a national lesure time exhibit about which Mr. Stanley is much ex-1 cited. He points out that this show I will be sensational in that it will I be so much more than just a display of collections and expensive pastimes that only the rich can hope to undertake. It will aim to give graphic representation to all the 700 ways of spending leisure time, many of which cost little or nothing. The resourceful Mr. Stanley came from Indiana. He is a graduate of Cornell in engineering. His first idea was to be an inventor. He still loves to mess around with tools and the ride of his life is his new oil tanker, made to his own specifications, that he boasts handles almost like an automobile.

Manners and Morals BV JANE JORDAN
Thr letters below are in reference io •'Sorry,*’ an 18-year-oM girl wnose lover seduced her and then said he could love only virtuous girls, if you haven’t aired jour opinion yet, write your letter now. Dear Jane Jordan—l have read your column with a great deal of amusement, but supposed you to be a case for a mental ward of who would
stop at nothing to make a few stinking dollars. Monday you showed your true colors. From the tone of your reply to “Sorry” you must be sincere, and thus a case for the mental ward. I admit the girl deserves sympathy, but
Jane Jordan
why hold her case up to other girls without the slightest disapproval for her foolish conduct? Why blame the man? True, he should not ridicule her, but you should realize it is the untouched girl the man wants; so why act surprised? Why not explain the situation to ycur women readers and let them be readv for the consequences of their folly? If you consider yourself capable of giving advice to others you have an exaggerated sense of your own importance. But I will give you credit for knowing some particularly burning adjectives, as demonsrated in your condemnation of "Sorry's” friend. BLANK. Answer —If you were anything but a curiosity reader of the column you would know that I have written thousands of useless words warning girls of the exact reaction of “Sorry's” friend. I am not surprised; only disgusted. I am tired of scolding the girls and wanted to express my opinion of a boy who seduces a girl without letting his purity complex be known beforehand. I should like to see him suffer a few consequences himself.

I do not advise my readers in major decisions. All any one can 1 do is throw more light on the I situation and let the troubled act ! for themselves. nun Dear Jane Jordan—l, too, am fed up on th eattitude of the oh so puritanical male that every girl who permits her heart to rule her head has broken the Ten Commandments and invented new ones to challenge and break. I met a boy not so long ago. He is a university man. I am a college graduate. Certainly we aren't children. Neither. are we cheap or promiscuous. He insisted that it made no difference. We were drawn into a net of our own making and the inevitable happened. Imagine my amazement when he said to me, “We are going to cut this out and be pals.” That, of course, when his head was cool and his mind serene. I felt cheap, depraved and ugly. When men learn that a woman’s sensibilities are far finer than his; that her idea of loyalty transcends anything he knows, then they criticise her, but not until. Answer—l have much more respect for your friend than for "Sorry's.” At least he included himself in his condemnation of your mutual departure from the conventions. Nor did he think you were unfit for friendship because you had loved him. His attitude is sincere and not hypocritical. tt tt 8 Dear Jane Jordan—l do not wholly agree with "Sorry” that petting will lower or hurt a girl in the eyes of young men. Os course, she must be sure that they aren’t the sexually greedy young men you refer to, and I don't believe that it is a hard task to figure out whether a young man is of that type or not. I met a young man about five ! months ago and we see each other j every single evening. We pet to 1 some extent and never quarrel. I am positive that he respects me as much if not more than when we first met. Do you think I have hurt ' myself by petting? BLONDIE. Answer —I see no reason why

Fern Van Voarst and Mrs. Helen Miller. any sincere expression of love should be poisoned by a feeling of shame. 8 8 8 Dear Jane Jordan—l do not have your ability with words to express my feeling regarding the "undeveloped pup” who betrayed “Sorry.” All I can say is check and double check to your answer. Every man in the world should read your column and condemn the young man who has placed "Sorry” in this position while his conceit makes him forget that he has pulled the same trick any number of times. VEE. Answer—So far the mail has not contained much sympathy for the young man without the artistry to make the girl feel that her experience was worth what it cost. Have we no defenders of the famous masculine viewpoint?

A Womans Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
DEATH trop the dusty length of Camino del Monte Sol, and turned in at La Casa Querida (The Beloved House). With him departed forever Mary Austin, poet, novelist, mystic, grandame —the Queen Victoria of American letters. To the literary and artistic group in Santa Fe, where she had
lived for many years, she was indeed a queen and ruled as autocratical 1 y as any crowned head, by divine right of her personality and genius. Dumpy, but majestic —for nature had modeled her after the pattern of the great English
Mrs. Ferguson
ruler —she was as stanch in her beliefs, as uncompromising in her convictions, as Victoria at the height of her power. Up and down the vast sunlit spaces of the wide southwest she traveled, studying the Indian and his lore, and by her indefatigable efforts she interpreted and has preserved for posterity the story of the life, art and history of that picturesque, romantic and little known region. She herself was a strong worshiper of the Spanish influence, and the story goes she never quite forgave Wilia Cather for having emphasized the French impression in her famous book, ‘•Death Comes to the Archbishop,” which also was written in Santa Fe. Whatever may be said of her, Mary Austin made herself one of the greatest of American citizens. Asa writer she scaled the peak
of success, but it was as a woman she was most admirable. Her personality was vivid because her beliefs were profound and sincere. Many eulogies will be written about her, no doubt, and to others I leave that task. I like best to think of her as a busy body—a descriptive term which has been very much misused and one that, to my opinion, aptly fits Mrs. Austin. Only the busy bodies taste the finest savors of mortal existence; they only know how exciting, how wonderful, how truly sweet life can be. During her sixty-five years, Mary Hunter Austin never was without some supremely important task, ! she never lacked some thrilling ! quest. j She wa sinterested in everything. Herbs, flowers, rock gardens, houses—she planned and superintended the building of her own. She loved old pottery, old lace, old religions, old races. She knew pictures, books, music, mountains, deserts, people. And she never grew so grand that she did not work with her hands. She stayed close to the earth and the earth rewarded her well, as it always does those who love it. And around Santa Fe all the little pinon trees sigh a long farewell to her. SIDNEY SELIGMAN TO TAKE BRIDE Miss Sally Beilach and Sidney J. Seligman will be married by the Rabbi Morris Feurlicht Sunday at the home of the bride-elect’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Beilach, 5141 Kenwood avenue. Mr. Seligman’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. R. A.

6-Year-Old ‘Grownups’ Will Wear Fall Apparel of Mannish Appearance Strauss Respects Ban on ‘Babyish’ Things for Youngster with Full Line of ‘Big Bovs’ ’ Clothing. BY HELEN LINDSAY WHEN little boys become old enough to start to school, mothers probably will learn that they have very definite ideas about what they want to wear. "Babyish” suits must be abandoned, and in spite of protests of mothers reluctant to have their little sons grow up. clothing must have some semblance of the mannish look. L. Strauss and Company, recognizing this tendency of six-year-olds entering school for the first time next month, is presenting clothes which will warm the hearts of little boys as well as their bodies. In addition to looking enough like "big boys” clothing to suit the tiny wearers, they
are well-fitting and well made, and bound to appeal to mothers. The newest of these are "nickers.” which are miniature knickers of corduroy. They have belts from hip to hip. across the front, and fit smoothly across the back. "Nickees” may be worn either with button-on blouses or real shirts. Unlike most knickers, these are made without an inside belt, but with reinforced tabs which will button to blouses. They have ribbed knitted bands, to be worn below the knee. Bright sport hose will be worn either over or under these bands, to suit the whim of the six-year-old. "Nickees” may be obtained in corduroy or wool, though the corduroy is preferable this season. The same makers have produced long pants for small boys, ranging in size from tiny youngsters of 4 to 12-year-olds. They are called "California slackees” and are made of corduroy, with the same kind of tabs to be fastened to blouses.
Strauss is expecting a shipment of corduroy sports jackets which will arrive next week, and which will be worn with the new trousers. 8 8 8 8 8 8 Wash Suits Also Shown FOR little boys who are not so emphatic in their demands for "mannish” clothes, there are combination suits, with wool shorts and but-ton-on blouses of wash material. One attractive model in these suits showed shorts of hunter green, with a tiny green and white striped blouse, with turn-back collar. Collar and cuffs were piped in green, and a wash material of the same color was worn with it. Another suit which was colorful and attractive showed flannel shorts of brown, with a white wash blouse which buttoned on. With this the little boy will wear a jersey sweater of brown, with orange, brown and yellow- stripes decorating the V-neck, cuffs, and the bottom of the sweater. This type of suit is shown in a number of color combinations. Jersey shorts are worn with sweater tops with navy collars, either in navy or in combinations, shorts of one color and sweater of another. With these are boatswain's whistles, suspended around the neck on a knotted white cord. Anew knicker suit will be introduced this fall at Strauss for boys from 6to 12. It will have a sport model coat, and plus four knickers. "Tweedroy” which is anew weave of corduroy of wide w-ale, and looking much like a tweed cloth, is shown in knicker suits, with zipper fastenings on the matching jackets. The jackets have ribbed bottoms and cuffs, and are lined with plaid wool. Boys of all ages will wear twin sweater sets to school this year. They are shown in heather mixtures and in plain colors. The set consists of a sleeveless sweater with a semi-crew neck, and a coat sweater of the same fabric and color, with V-neck and zipper fastening. 8 8 8 8 8 8 New Book Covers Available THOSE "brand-new” books w-ith which youngsters start to school will stay clean much longer if they are covered. Children will not object to the covering, if the colorful ones in Ayres stationary department are used They are of heavy plaid, striped and polka dotted paper, with an opening through which the title of the book may be read.
