DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a widow and the mother of two

Nice girls,” One is 13 and the other 16, The older one thinks she is ¥ n love with a boy 19 years old. He is from a good family and he is a | nice boy, but I think my girl is too young to keep steady company. I would rather she would go around with other boys and girls and

have a good time, but she won't do it.

She is still in school. I am

~ afraid to try and break them up, afraid the worst might happen. - They do not run around at night. They stay around home or go to a show, but that is not what I want my girl to do. I want her to have & good time. I would like your advice about this matter. Do you think it would be wise for me to stop them from seeing

each other or let them be as they are? 0 Answer—If you ‘will let the young people alone, the chances are

Why should you imagine that your iughter’s little affair will be the exception to so general a rule? - Parents who want to break up an adolescent love affair should not show their opposition.

Mrs. George P. Ruth, chairman of

Contrast Education Methods - Contrasts of newer methods of educations with the old ideas were presented by Dr. Daniel S. Robinson, president of Butler University, in his talk following the Council luncheon, Whereas formerly emphasis was placed’ on the education of children in childhood, stress now is laid also on adult education particularly in regard to inteiligent use of leisure time, it was pointed out by the speaker. Students now are given an utilitarian education designed to aid them in making a living, according to Dr. Robinson. The older idea was to provide young people with a general knowledge. The current method of developing the interest of the student in his school work was contrasted with the old idea of school discipline, Stress Self-Education : Dr. Robinson also brought out the contrast between the. old educational theory that the teacher was the main agency of teaching while under the present idea, emphasis is laid on self-education with the pupil helping himself to learn. Miss Ruth Merrified, who recently returned from Europe, talked on “Rumbles of War” this morning. J, W.

The result has been that: the whalebone business picked up, no fashionable woman would without one and the jokesmiths. 0g cartoonists have had a field day. But Mainbocher did not learn of’ this furore until he arrived here—

important things “corsets, Never Intended a ‘Stunt’

“It was a solemn, legitimate piece of dressma ,” he assured today in his Waldorf. Towers apartment. “ never meant it for a’ stunt, I don't think it is, it should last.” Mainbocher, a plumpish, haired fellow with twinkling brown eyes and a ready smile, might easily pass for an older brother of that perennial juvenile, William Gaxton. For nine years he has been running one of the topnotch fashion establishments in Paris. The corset, he explained, is “logical progression” in styling since 1937 when the peasant-type skirt, which gave. emphasis to the hips, became popular. “It gives women not the figure of yesterday but the figure of today and tomorrow,” he said. “The long ribbed lines- create the waltz waist —not the wasp waist.”

"Claims Fatigue Reduced

The corset is Mainbocher’s reaction to sloppiness in women. It makes them stand'and sit straight a as a result reduces fatigue, he said. “I think it’s healthy, ” he exe plained. “In past showings in Paris some of the models would be ill or faint, but in the last showing not one who was wearing a corset fainted or was ill from the long hours of fitting and modeling.” . Mainbocher ‘designed the Duchess of Windsor’s wedding dress and was the first to introduce strapless eve-

{ning gowns.

Europe Business Dwindles

Since Mainbocher started nearly a decade ago he has seen the business of most of the European coun= tries disappear, leaving only the United States and South America as selling centers. But the ability to create will always remain in France, “It’s in the air,” he said. Mainbocher was born in Chicago and after studying painting dnd illustrating in New York and Paris, he joined the army during the World War and emerged a sergeant major. In the years that followed he was editor of the French edition of Vogue Magazine and illus-

trated for Harper’s Bazar. Then in 1930 he opened his own place.
