Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

If toii are purrled ahotit snmeth'oc, pul the queition in a letter tn Jane Jordan and read Tour answer in this column. All readers are invited to join in the discussions that interest them. Dear Jane Jordan—ln "Love in the Machine Age." Floyd Dell stresses, as the cause of unsuccessful marriage, lack of emotional de-

velopment. and indorses petting as a means of such develop ment. He says that illicit love affairs occur usually. not between couples who have marriage as their goal, but between couples who are neurotic. In the "Art of Being a Wo m a n.” Olga Knopf lays no such stress on emotional

development. She says. "There is no need to overestimate the dangers of petting parties . . . they are not a good preparation for a complete and normal sexual co-opera-tion in later life. - ’ I wonder what your opinion of these two viewpoints is. Which is right, or is there some truth on both sides? Will you suggest some more books? A READER. Answer—You will remember that Floyd Dell says. "It is important here to distinguish between the 'petting' behavior which belongs to adolescence and the adult neuroticism which can not get beyond the pelting’ stage to actual sex relations * In my opinion. Olga Knopf does not refer to the natural desire of healthy young people to caress each other, but to the type of heavy petting which serves as a substitute lor normal sex experience. Young couples who can find nothing else to do except remain in a perpetual embrace which slops just short of realization, be-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

come accustomed to an overdose of stimulation which they will not be likely to find in a normal married experience. It is easy to see why such heavy petting is not a good preparation for marriage, but it has nothing to do with the natural expression of affection between the young. Petting alone is no aid to emotional maturity. It is a part of courtship. Floyd Dell attacks the patriarchal attitude which fears to leave the young free to engage in many minor love affairs before a final choice is made. His premise is that we learn to love by loving, not refraining from all contact with the opposite sex. I agree with him that the majority of illicit love affairs occur beween couples who are neurotic, although no sweeping generalization can be depended upon to be true. Every rule has its exception. If you will send your address again. I will send a list of books. a an Dear Jane Jordan—My husband and I have been married over three years. The first year was marvelous. We both worked, had a nice home and car. Then out of a clear sky I caught my husband with another woman. I didn't care whether I lived or died. I didn't want to go home and admit defeat so decided to stay. I asked my husband what he would do if I went out and he said to go ahead as he didn't care, so that's just what I did. Without the least intention of doing so I fell madly in love. Now' mv husband refuses to give me up. He says he is sorry and that he will never step out again. I have had no reason to doubt him for over a year now. He always has been a model husband and it would be such a blow to our families if we separated that I just can’t do it. but it is the other man I love. I know you will tell

Women Film Celebrities Prefer Black and White in Costumes for Evening Gloria Swanson and Anna May Wong Gabbed in Somber Blue When They Appeared at the Trocadero in Hollywood. BY HELEN LINDSAY NOW that the election is over, and the votes have been tabulated, reports from Los Angeles show that the Hollywood actors and actresses were able to keep their minds on their personal appearances election night, in spite of their anxiety to defeat Upton Sinclair, champion of the EPIC policy. At the Trocadero, one of the gayest places in Hollywood, numbers of the famous Hollywood personalities were seen in the variety of evening styles which always causes comment froth visitors to southern California. Gloria Swanson and Carole Lombard, both known for their cus-

tomary elaborate dress, appeared wearing hats. Miss Swanson's hafc was a little toque which was worn with a chin-length flaring veil. She wore a sleeveless black afternoon dress, cut close to the throat, while Miss Lombard wore a dress of black net. Complementing it was a shallow hat with a brim several inches wide Anna May Wong also appeared in black, made with long tight sleeves, but instead of a hat she wore a huge diamond crescent behind each ear. Norma Shearer, who has abandoned the sleek. ofT-the-ears style of hair dress in preference to curls which nearly reach the shoulders, and stand out in back, was in formal evening dress of dark gold lame. The gown was cut low, and a shell-like fluting used around the neck. Narrow shoulder straps were used in front and in back.

Pale gold and white lame were combined in (he fitted dress worn bv Constance Bennett, designed in the Mainbocher tunic, and tight knee style, and worn under a shoulder cape of ermine, trimmed with tails. Diminutive Helen Hayes appeared in a gowm of dark blue satin, with a full flowing skirt and a squared decollete. The colors seen in the assembly were mostly black and white. a a a nun Gladys Parker Appears in Gingham Costume ONE of the features of the New York Horse Show last Saturday night w’as a “Gay Nineties" number. Entries came in old types of vehicles, wearing costumes to match. Among the entries was an old hansom driven by a fat old coachman. Necks were craned to see who occupied the old carnage, and there sat Gladys Parker, the well known young designer, who creates costumes for pert and lively juniors. Miss Parker was wearing a red and white checked gingham costume, beruffled and trained, and trimmed wuth large flat bows of black velvet. She carried a little gingham parasol, ruffled in white pique, and trimmed also with flat velvet bows. Her hat was made of gingham, too. tt a u a tt a Overweight Sa fer , Doctor Says IF style trends make greater weight, desirable for young women they have nothing to fear from the health angle," according to Dr A F. Hall Jr., who has investigated weight conditions, and whose findings are included in a bulletin issued by the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. “Many young women do not, consider their weight, satisfactory until it is 15 per cent or more under the figure given as normal for their age and height. This places them in a group which experiences a higher than average mortality, particularly from tuberculosis.’’ Advocating the trend of modern styles for curves and additional weight, Dr. Hall said that in younger age groups even actual overweight is safer than underweight. "Young women who want to increase their weight should do so carefully, with proper attention to calories and vitamin value of the food they eat,” he warned. "Weight can be increased in this way gradually without discomfort or inconvenience.”

A Womans Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

EORGE AND GERTRUDE TEMPLE, so runs the new's from Hollyw'ood, are somewhat worried over their sudden change of fortune since saucy Shirley became the rage in pictures. I should think they might be. And not alone over what is occurring in their ow-n lives but, most of all, over what is happening to Shirley. For somewhat is happening, you may be sure of that. Already she’s subtly altered. Between the time when she made "Little Miss Marker” and "Now and Forever” the transformation took place. In the first, she is a sweet, unspoiled, adorable baby; in the second her behavior is tinged w'ith artificial nuances, and her acting far from natural. Notice, acclaim, compliments can turn the heads of the wisest men. How then are w'e to expect a child to emerge from the national spotlight without having lost the very qualities which put her there? The question raises a fldck of ideas. In the first place, what opinion w'ill Shirley Temple have of the public by the time she reaches adolescense? Since already she can not go into the streets, a simple little girl with her father and mother, without having the police reserves called to prevent the crowds from tearing her to pieces, its hardly' likely she can retain any illusions, or even admiration for her kind. Such tussles with her adoring public can have but two reactions. Either she will form the opinion that she's a very superior individual—a sort of wonder child, nr she must of necessity come to regard grownups as a vast set of fools. Neither of these opinions, if held long enough are conducive to the making of a good life, and a good life is much more to be desired than much gold. Shirleys changes for growing up into a normal girlhood are pretty slim, and that's tragic, I think. Sometimes it looks as if fame exacts too high a price from her favorites. The pomp, ceremony, adulation that in other days and other countries went into a worship of royal-
