Blue Gowns Only Worn by Singer Lucienne Boyer Refuses Every Offer to Use Another Color. BY BEATRICE BIRGAN Tim Wnn' Pair Editor WHTLE the League of Women Voters and Mrs. Nancy Marteas are preparing for the performance of ‘‘Continental Varieties - ' here on Feb. 2, interesting bits of news about the performers come to them. They are fascinated by Lucienne Boyers eccentricity; when she ap-

pears on the stage to entertain, she traditionally sings in a simple b.ue velvet gown. The blue of her gown is more than a color to her; it is a symbol. and a fetish. She has learned that blue has long been a favorite and one of the most significant colors. Blue was a favorite color of the

Miss Bureau

Egyptians and was featured in their art. In the symbolism of early Christian art. blue represents Heaven and eternity and was commonly used by painters for the madonna’s mantle to represent mystery. The Covenanters of Scotland carried a blue banner and were called true blue Presbyterians. Favored by Poets The favorite flowers of the poets are blue, the forget-me-not and violet. Two precious gems are blue, the sapphire and the turquoise. Blue blood is the possession of nobility. bluestocking the title of a j woman noted for intellectuality, I and a blue ribbon the highest j award. Maurice Maeterlinck used the blue bird to symbolize happiness j and the masterpiece of one contem- i porary romposer, George Gershwin, j is titled “Rhapsodic in Blue.” , Southey says, ‘ Blue is the sweetest color that’s worn; blue, darkly, 1 deeply, beautifully blue.” And now blue suddenly has ! gained anew and startling significance with the meteoric advent of the Parisienne, Lucienne Boyer. No couturier can coax her out of her blue gown into something new and chic. Only Ornaments Changed Sometimes she wears an ornament slung like an amulet across her gown; sometimes a frivolous ! snap-of-the-fingers bow dangles j from her shoulder, or a little shawl i is drawn tight about her throat to transform her into a peasant. But always she wears the blue gown, not a show-window gown, but one in which she can conceal her own personality and emerge in her role as a singer. “Continental Varieties” with the original New York cast includes Vicente Escudero and Carmita, exponents of Spanish dancing; Raphael, concortinist. who has charmed Paris and New York with the amazing music he cajoles from his midget instrument; Nikita Balieff. celebrated for his performance in the "Chauve Souris,’’ as master of ceremonies and commentator; Iza Volpin’s Continental quartet: Boris Kogan. pianist for Escudero and Raphael, and Jeronimo Villarino, Spanish guitarist for Escudero. Sorority Elects Miss June Willcutts has been elected president of the Butler University chapter of Pi Beta Phi. Other officers are Miss Jane Crowell, vice president: Miss Lucy Beasley, recording secretary; Miss Georgia Bing, corresponding secretary’. and Misses Janice Kellogg and Winifred Ward, censors. '‘Buffet and .Fireside .Suppers” will be discussed by Miss Stena Marie Holdall in the technique of cookery class sponsored by the Irvington Union of Clubs. The class will convene at 9:30 at the Irvington Presbyterian Church Friday.

Among the interesting exhibits will be a brooch, owned by Mrs.T. S. Elrod. Swung in a gold frame of the soft pure metal of early days, the brooch has a cameo on one side and on the other a minature of Major W. T. Strickland, grandfather of Mrs. Elrod, in Civil War uniform. Mrs. W. W. Ward, president of the union, will exhibit among other things, two samplers, one belonging to her aunt. Ann Kirk, and the other to her grandmother, Hannah Brown Kirk. Both samplers more than 100 years old, are cross stitched on loosely woven linen. One carries the Lord's Prayer and the other the alphabet. Mrs. Everett C. Johnson will show a set of early American dishes. The cups being made without handles. Mrs. Kenneth Badger will lend a collection of antique books including "Volumes Heath's Picturesque Reader" with quaint pictures and stilted stories, "McGuffey’s New Second Eclectic Reader” and "Candid Reasons for Renouncing the Principles of Anti-Aedobaptism, ’ written in 1795 by Peter Edwards and giving in detail the reason for infant baptism. Mrs. Roger Beem will exhibit a j sampler made by Mr. Beem's great- • grandmother, Gene Blizzard, in 1734. j She also will show a watch made by ; Thomas C.

The hours are shown in roman numerals and the seconds are shown on the outer rim. Mrs. Beern also will exhibit a book printed in London in 1788 titled “A New Geographical, Historical, and Commercial Grammar, and Present State of the Several Kingdoms of the World.” It is interesting because of the old maps, peculiar illustrations, quaint spelling and phrasing and particularly for the apology made for education. Os particular interest in Mrs. Beem's exhibits is a copy of the memoirs of Capt. Roger Clapp, in which he describes landing in Nantasket on May 30. 1630 and describes in detail the building of a fort.

Sense of Humor Classed as Strong Factor for Happiness in Marriage Bride Who Can Laugh Off Disillusionment Possesses Faculty Promising to Matrimonial Success. / BY GRACE Z. BROWN Time* Special Writer _ JUBILANTLY Reno announces, “Major Industry Booms! 1934 Extremely Profitable Year in Divorce Capital.” At the same time, oddly enough, comes news that, beginning next semester, the psychology department at the University of Nevada will offer a shining new course of study. The avowed purpose is to help ■ students avoid unhappy marriages. What a break for those young people! That is. if the master of psychology knows of a cure for the divorce epidemic. Surely no intelligent person can disapprove of Reno —in some cases. Yet the amusing thing about the majority of divorcees is that they all covet freedom, but when it’s granted, instead of enjoying it, they pop right into that yoke again—and rarely with any one who is an improvement over the discard. Women who have been married four or five times confide, grimly, ; that divorce is the only solution for unhappy marriages. But how to avoid unhappy marriages? There’s an Alp to climb! a a a nun Husbands Declared Like Boys MARRIAGE is rather like radio. At first you tune in on a symphony; then, insidiously, static disturbances spoil the perfect orchestration, so you either try to get rid of those discordant sounds or tune in on the Reno station. It’s much more sporting to try to get rid of the discord. However, that’s not easy. Harmonious blending of one life with mother is an artistic accomplishment. From the very first day brides should realize that all husbands are little boys. Practically all men project ego all over the place. They're selfish and demanding. But we are not always sheer joy to have around, either. Turning the spotlight on oneself is sure to be revealing. If husbands and wives would discuss each other's faults in a comradely way it would help them. Only rare persons do this. Most are afraid of hurting a sensitive partner. Personally I consider that an acute sense of humor is the most priceless dowry any girl can bring along in her hope chest. To laugh instead of weep at ;hose first disillusionments saves the eyes. That's highly important. Wives must always be starry eyed and gay. nan nan Allowance for Wife Important SURELY the Reno master of psychology will impress on the class how important it is to be well equipped for marriage. Along with that traditional requirement, a common interest should be endurance, for it would take eight strqng females to accomplish what almost any husband expects his wife to do each day. Men expect a woman to be housewife, mother, hostess, mistress and accountant, And always to have the glamour of a movie star. Poor dears, maybe they mean well. It may be the fault of their doting mothers. Happily, to the eyes of a bride all the obvious male idiosyncrasies are in the shadow. The Reno instructor will, of course, stress the importance of a wife having her personal allowance—sl or SIOO a month, but at least a definite amount. She'll probably have to give most of it to the butcher, baker or garage man, but there is no denying that a definite sum, all her own, is a great bolster-upper for her morale. Every bride puts on the wedding ring saying. “Mv marriage will be different. I'll know exactly what to do to avoid the mistakes all my married friends have made.” Possibly she does if things move along in orderly fashion. But they rarely do. Life lands a wife in the most unexpected places and situations. With l unsympathetic in-laws. In remote places when she yearns for a brickr and mortar life. Or in a two-room Manhattan apartment after she has been reared on a ranch. She may experience poverty, sickness and desperation. Or her husband may win the lottery and become one of those insufferable men with lopsided sense of values. Whatever the problem is, nothing will help her to hurdle it like a laugh.
