Heavy Lover Is Dead Idol to U. S. Girl Broad Shouldered ‘He’ Men Is Newest Ideal of American Woman. BY EVELYN SEELEY Time* Special Writer YORK. Dec. 7.—Tullio Carminatl, new screen Idol, may rest easy In the hotel he refuse* to name lest hordes of American shop girls, stenographers, matrons mob him with their adulation. I think the Count Tullio Carminati di Brambilla, who admits that the impending mantle of the adored Valentino weighs heavily on his shoulders, will be quite safe with us. The women of London may have mobbed him with their bouquets, their candy, their mash notes, their pursuit of autographs But I would be willing to bet we won’t. If English women are still so sentimental as that it is their bad luck —or good luck, whichever way you look at it. We in America are fed up with the Valentinos and their ilk; wuth their heavy, mysterious, seductive charm, their ponderous love making. It is true that thousands of women mobbed his funeral, but things are different now. We will be amused by Carminati, 1 hope; we will admire, on the screen, the excellence of his acting and the beauty of his voice as we did when we saw him on the stage. But we will give him no halo, for the market in halo 6is gone, and apparently you can only get them London made. Heavy Lovers Pass The late Lou Tellegen, who died so tragically recently by his own hand, is an example of the decline of the matinee idol in feminine estimation. Did the masses of feminine fans rise as one and mourn? No, they were saddened by his death, impressed by the irony that led the fastidious and suave Tellegen to such a sordid end. But that is all. The movies constitute a superficial, but none the less real reflection of the trend in what women like in men. Look for the matinee idols of yesterday and you will find them retired on the earnings of their heyday, playing minor bits here and there, or starving in obscurity. Count Carminati should go to the movies some time. Who are the big shots now? Clark Gable, that big husky Westerner; Pat O'Brien w r ith the map of Ireland —with all its irregularities—on his face; Edward Robinson, hardly a beauty prize; Jimmy Cagney, George Bancroft and so on. ‘‘Ah, no, he’s not handsome,” sighed a girl friend of mine, speaking of George Bancroft. ‘ But, oh, he has such big, broad shoulders!” It is the day of the big ne-man with the broad shoulders. It may be because these days we increasingly feel the need of protection from the big. bad world, because fewer of us are able to be economically independent and so must lean on a man whether we want to or not. Strong Men Preferred Or it may be that we are just increasingly realistic and have learned that this romantic stuff is a lot of hooey, not measuring up to what it's cracked up to be. and good only for literary purposes. What we want, it is obvious, is a good, strong shoulder—good for practical purposes, whether for leaning on or for weeping into or for being put to the wheel. American women even go so far as to like their idols rather rude and disrespectful. Ask any woman what she likes about Jimmy Cagney and she will say it’s the way he smacks j the movie heroines in the rear. Maybe we're just going in for the big and rough and uncouth in men because we want a change. Maybe next rear the movies will swing back again to the saccharin* dreams of our youth. Let us hope not. Meanwhile, poor Carminati need not call in the cops from the avenue to hold us off. We will stay away, at home with our he-men.

Capes Reach Style Peak
Hi Jip| * jp i ' jHHMW
This sumptuous raped evening ensemble is a creation of Lucien Lelong. The gown and cape are of changing brown and green moire, the cape being lined with sable. Furs are being worn inside this year.
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Service Stall Correspondent PARlS—Capes, flattering to women of all ages, never have been more popular than they are this year. Shown extensively in the fall collections, the couturiers have outdone themselves in making the cape ensembles and cape-effect dresses among the smartest features of their advance spring lines. A cape can be youthful, jaunty and debonair, it can be picturesque and quaint, or it can be sumptuous and regal, according to the silhouette and personality of the wearer. As an evening wrap, the cape is smarter this season than the coat Unusual effects can be achieved, from the most simple to the most luxurious. But luxury need not necesarily be expressed by the lavish use of fur. Sometimes the medium, usually one of rich new velvets, is sufficiently sumptuous to be accepted on its cwm merits, especially if it affects the long and sweeping line of the burnous. The great novelty of the season, in wraps, is that shown by Alix which, while reminiscent of the Indian beauty's veil and the African burnous both, is made of soft pastel blue lainage. Worn over a dress of lame, the effect is stunning and strangely enough, most luxurious. Lelong has a marvelous evening cape made of changing green and brow n moire velvet lined with sable, which belongs to the ultra-sump-
Daily Recipe SAUSAGE STUFFING 1-4 pound fresh sausage meat 2 cups coarse soft bread crumbs 1 small onion 1-4 cup diced celery 2 tablespoons parsley, finely minced Salt and pepper, if needed Put bread crumbs in a large bowl. Add celery, parsley and onion, minced very fine. If the celery leaves are fresh, chop them with the stalks. Add the fresh sausage and blend thoroughly with the other ingredients Because the sausage is so well-seasoned, neither salt nor pepper is generally needed for this stuffing, but add them if necessary. Pile lightly into crown and roast.

tuous category. Reaching down to the knees at the back, the fronts are shorter and flung back over the shoulders in soft and graceful folds. A scarf-like arrangement, most cleverly contrived, supplies the necessary protection for the lownecked gown of the same velvet. In black this sort of cape could be worn over dresses of almost any color and happens to be much smarter, by the way, than the more banal all-fur cape or jacket. Over a silver lame dress Bruyere places a long circular cape, untrimmed save for a gilt fantasy buckle at the neck, in vivid orange wool. The color and fabric combination here is as attractive as it is unusual. Georgette Renal shows a very youthful and at the same time formal evening ensemble in parma violet velvet completed by a shortish cape. Here fur is replaced by a band of tightly-massed violets separating the softly gathered double collar. The dress is cut on princess lines with the fullness introduced at the back of the skirt in an elongated godet which forms quite an imposing pointed train. The decollette shows a harmonizing elongated V both back and front, and another bunch of violets is massed at the waistline. Worth has a caped evening ensemble in violine velvet. This model can be draped around the figure to form a coatee or be allowed to fall loosely as desired. Very wide bands of black fox are placed across the arms well above the elbows to simulate sleeves, but there is no fur trimming at the neck. Fashion decrees that for this season. at any rate, a woman's neck and head must emerge, from short collar or scarf, like a graceful flower. A cape or cape effect is being featured on some of the most formal dresses in almost every collection. Mainbocher has a delightful range of pastel chiffon dresses completed by fluffy, diaphanous capelets of matching tulle.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Ann Hollister, prettv and 20. finds work in a library. She fails In love with Tony Mickle, commercial artist, although warned against him by Sarah Kent, her roommate. Later she meets Peter Kendall, wealthy and prominent, who- is engaged to Valeria Bennett, society g;rl Valeria spends much of her time with a gay crowd without Peter knowing about it. Tony asks Ann to marry him and she agrees. Although Tony has promised to "settle down'’ and save money he does not do this. Tony continues to be Indefinite about plani for his and Ann s marriage. When he breaks a date with her on Christmas Eve to attend a drinking party Ann breaks their engagement. She and Peter Kendall meet in a restaurant. Peter is disillusioned because he has learned how Valeria has deceived him. Ann and Peter discuss their mutual unhappiness He asks her to marry him and she agrees. They are married that night and set out for Florida. NOW G OGN Hil'H THE SiORY CHAPTER THIRTEEN YTALERIAS nervousness had worn * off. She had refused to see friends who had called through the door and now, with evening coming on, she was waiting expectantly for Peter’s eall. One minute every one had been having so much fun and the next there was Marvin Walters, drunk and waving a gun. Everybody trying to get out of sight. Then the awful sound of the gun report and Dirk falling to the floor. Nobody knew who called the police. Probably it was that silly Peg Walters herself. When they realized Dirk was only slightly injured it was too late to do anything about it. Os course she knew Peter hadn’t meant it when he said that they were through. If he had meant it, why hadn't he taken the ring? Valeria slipped it on her finger again. The maid came to the door. "Shall I bring your dinner, Miss Valeria?” “Yes. Then lay out my things, Lola.” A belated Christmas dinner, but she was ready for it. Mrs. Wainwright opened the door. “I heard you tell Lola you would dress.” “Yes.” “Has Peter called?” “No, but he will.” Mrs. Wainwright said, in a troubled tone, “Mrs. Kendall called this afternoon. She wanted to find Peter. She said he left the house after breakfast and hasn't been back since.” “In the mood he was in, he probably wouldn’t come home. I imagine he ate dinner at the club.” As Mrs. Wainwright continued to stare dubiously! Valeria broke out angrily. “You act as though I had lost Peter for good. Look here!” She flashed her ring. The morning newspaper had been brought to Mrs. Kendall’s bed, along with her grapefruit and coffee without cream. She was still strenuously engaged in “preserving” her figure and was proud that she had been successful in her battle to keep down flesh while so many of her friends had grown fat and double-chinned. In an adjoining room Carol heard her mother groan. The grean was followed by an excited screech, which brought Carol flying to her bed. “Good heavens, mother! Are you ill?” Mrs. Kendall held out the newspaper and moaned again. “We’re disgraced Look what Peter has done.” Carol snatched the folded sheet from her mother’s hand, read the headlines, and sank into a chair. “Why don’t you say something—” “If Peter has got himself in a mess,” Carol said slowly, “he has himself to blame. I don’t see why I should cry about it.” “It’s the mess he has got us into!” Mrs. Kendall sobbed. “All this comes of Father Kendall encouraging him in his queer ideas. Peter has never had the least notion of what obligation to family tradition means. Oh, poor Valeria!” “I'm not wasting sympathy on her after the stunt she pulled last night,” Carol said bluntly. “Valeria isn’t perfect, perhaps,” Mrs. Kendall said, “but we all know she has never loved any one but Peter. It was a terrible thing for him to do.” “Valeria is just a fraud,” Carol said. “I’m heartily in favor of Peter’s giving her the gate.” “And I suppose you’re not, worried over Peter , marrying some common creature he probably met on the street! If he had to do something disgraceful why couldn’t he have waited until the year after your debut?” “Darn my debut,” Carol said. “Carol!” I can’t understand you. All this disgrace and you sit there as cool as a cucumber.” “The town’s big enough so that we needn’t get in each other’s way. I don’t intend to be old-fashiend and kiss the bride.” “Oh!” Mrs. Kendall’s voice was relieved. “I’m saving my kisses for better use,” Carol continued flippantly. “I may have an urge toward romance. Who can tell?” nan SHE got a cold cloth for her mother's head, sat down and read the details of the wedding, reported in the newspaper. “Peter and this girl have gone away. Nobody seems to know where. They gave reporters the slip, somehow.” “Well, that's something to be thankful for,” Mrs. Kendall said. Carol said, “Give the girl credit for wits, mother. Wasn't she smart, walking off with Peter right under Valeria’s nose?” “Please, Carol, don’t discuss it. He mast have been perfectly mad.” “Valeria pulled one too many of her fast ones. That ifas all.”

I Carol smiled and left the room. She *had no patience with her mother 's hysterics. She didn’t doubt that her mother was upset over this girl who had dared to marry Peter. Carol went down the wide stair, through the hall and out on the terrace. “Lawrence,” she said to a blond young man in a chauffeur's uniform. "Mother will want you to drive her to Miss Bennett's within the hour.” The slender young chauffeur touched his cap. His blue eyes met hers for an instant. “Very well, miss.” “Lawrence, you might say—say you're sorry you are not driving me instead.” The blue eyes met the brown eyes of the girl again, aware of the pretty picture she made in the slim skirt and blouse, her bobbed hair curving against her slender face. “I’m very sorry, miss.” “And, Lawrence. I don’t think you should say ‘miss.’ It sounds so —so, well I don't like it. I’ve tried to teach you to say Miss Bennett or Miss Carol ever since you came. It’s better form. Well, I like it better. Don't you think you'll ever learn?” “Yes, miss. Miss Carol.” He was smiling now. Carol smiled back "I’ve been wondering about our shoulders. They’re awfully broad. Did you ever play football?” “No. Miss Carol. But I’ve done a lot of fighting. It came natural to me, being Irish.” “I may need you to drive me out later.” “Very good. Miss Carol.” “You are a very poor imitation of an English chauffeur,” Carol said, “but I forgive you because you are so very good—you are such a good driver.” She went back in the house, passing Celeste, her maid, on the stair. Carol thought there w'as a halfsmile on the maid's face, and her own flushed suddenly. a a tt SHE found Mrs. Kendall dressing. Her mother said fretfully, “Carol, where have you been? You leave all the worrying for me to do. Get something on. I’m going to Valeria's.” “That lets me out. I wouldn’t go there on a bet to listen to you two weep together and tear Peter to bits.” “You’re not very sympathetic.” “No. And I have some shopping to do.” Carol went into her own room, returning in a few moments wearing a gray fur coat, with a small beret pulled close about her short dark curls. She wore no rouge, but her lips were brilliantly carmine. “A little too much color on your lips,” Mrs. Kendall objected. Carol was no beauty, her mother was thinking, but she was smart-look-ing and she had charm. The two drove to Valeria’s apartment and Mrs. Kendall went in. "Please stop the car,” Carol instructed the chauffeur after they had driven on a short distance. “I’m coming up front.” “Do you think you should, miss? Carol laughed. “Yes, I think I should. I don’t like sitting back here alone. And besides there are so many things I want to ask you." “About my shoulders, miss?” “No. Your diction, for one thing.” “Acquired in the best families, Miss Carol.” Carol had taken her seat beside him. The young chauffeur faced her stern V, dropping his deliberate drawl to say crossly, “You’re being very foolish, you know.” “I like to be foolish,” Carol said in a low tone. “Can’t you see, Lawrence, that you are the only one I can be natural with? You don’t expect things of me. You don’t care anything about the Kendall traditions. You probably don’t know we have such things. But we have. And every member is ; supposed to live up to them.” “I know some other things.” “What things?” “That you’re rich. I’m poor. I’m an Irish chauffeur and you are—- “ Just an American girl, Lawrence. Can’t you forget all those other things and remember you are! —just a man?” (To Be Continued) Tea and bridge party will be held Sunday afternoon for rushees at the home of Miss Mary Dyers, 1911 Now-land-av, by Alpha Chapter, Omega Kappa Sorority.
