We, the Women— Love Triumphs Over Dollars In Draft Case

By RUTH MILLETT IT LOOKED as theugh he would be taken in the draft. He was earning $18 a week and his wife was earning nearly twice that much. | The local draft board looked at {their respective salaries and said |the wife was not dependent on her {young husband, and that he was subject to the | a draft. But the appeal board took =a different view of the situa tion. They looked beyond the two “ pay checks and a saw just a | young husband : and wife, both working hard to have a home. They ruled that the wife was dependent on her | husband “for : love and comRuth Millett Da nionship” — and gave the $18-a-week mechanic a deferred rating. Probably nothing better could have happened te that marriage than to have a board of hardheaded, realistic men rule that the wife was dependent on her husband. For -a young man whose wife earns almost twice as much as he {does is bound to feel sometimes that he isn’t necessary to his wife —that she could get along without him very well—too well for his own peace of mind. Not that a working wife doesn’t try hard to convince a man that she is dependent on him, if not for food and shelter, then for something just as necessary to a woman —love and companionship.

by Bat HE DOESNT KNOW—or doesn't stop to think—how little his wife would have if she had only her pay check. Then the apartment would no longer be a home. She would no longer be needed by anyone She would be another lone woman, trying to fill her life with enough “doingg’ to make it seem important and worthwhile. Working wives don’t forget that. They know that they are actually just as dependent on their husbands as are the women who look to their men for the necessities of life. And maybe now that an appeal beard, made up of men. has seen it that way, husbahds of working wives will see it that way, too. “Dependent for love and cempanionship.” That should make a

man feel even better than . ent for food and shelter Thien

More than $350,000,000 for furs. That is the amount women in the United States are expected to spend this year to wrap themselves in the glamour of fur garments.

In addition to the fact that the average woman has more money to spend this year for clothing, the fur designers have outdone themselves in turning out fashions that have a lethal effect on sales resistance.

The styles are downright delectable. Most marked changes from last year’s models are smoothly rounded shoulders, deeper armholes, soft fullness in the waist, elaboration of sleeves and slim, fluid skirts. Last spring's dress styles were forerunners of the new soft, natural line emphasized in shoulder treatments of furs. Semi-dolman-sleeved frocks, too, have their counterparts in fur coats. And it is the deep armhole that demands easy draping through the coat top. Sleeve treatments are outstanding features. While the classic straight sleeve still appears, particularly in swagger or out-and-out sports models, a new note is the rounded, melon or push-up sleeve. In furs formal enough for round-the-clock wear, the pushup sleeve is a double-duty style, worn wrist length during the day and shoved up to the elbow for evening wear. The fullness requisite for this style is achieved by gathering into wristbands and cuffs or by swirling the pelts into big puffs. Widely belling cape sleeves and bell sleeves that may be shortened by turning back a wide cuff of horizontal or bias skins are appearing in the deeper pelts such as muskrat and mink. The coats with slim skirts are in the main those with soft bodices and big sleeves, where slimness is used to emphasize above-the-waistline fullness. Collars still are small, throathugging affairs, but this year they are not so “skimpy” that they fail to form a flattering frame for the face. And they are quite likely to be elaborated with under-the-chin loops, ties or bows of the fur. A surprise fashion note is the revival of the fitted silhouette—in Persian, in caracul, even in the bulkier pelts such as mink, beaver and muskrat. As yet the demand for the fitted coat comes principally from the urban centers of the East and Midwest. The demand for fitted coats is

in yoked styles. The comparatively few yoke styles offered appear principally in the lower price ranges and when they do appear are much more shallow than heretofore and frequently are part of the collar. Manufacturers also report a definitely waning interest in the matching. coat, hat and muff ensemble. Capes in short or full lengths are being shown, but, as one local buyer says, the daytime models are intended for the woman whose fur wardrobe extends beyond the one-coat limit.

Swarthmore College, is studying the dance in the Humphrey-Weidman master course. Following auditions early this week, she was chosen to be one of eight students who will participate in a special project to be directed by Miss Harriet Roeder, a member of the Hanya Holm studio and of the Bennington summer faculty. A piano student at DePauw University during the school year, Mr. Goodenough is attending Bennington on a scholarship for the summer. He is studying piano and composition with Lionel Nowak, Otto Luening and Robert McBride. Several of his compositions, including a “Nocturne” and several songs, already presented at the Saturday morning workshops on the campus, have received favorable criticism. He will perform at other workshops and is billed also for a recital at the theater in the town of Bennington.

Bennington will be climaxed in August with festival performances, drama on Aug. 3, 4 10 and 11; dance from Aug. 9-17 and music on Aug. 9, 10, 16 and 17.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I went steady with the most perfect boy I have ever met for eight months until a month and a half ago. His father dislikes Catholics very much and when he found out that

I was one he forbade his son to

go with me. When it first hap-

pened we promised each other we would stick it out until we were of age but he was too afraid of his dad. Three days after school was out he went to my girl friend (not me) and asked her to tell

me we had to forget each other. never seen him since. each day it gets worse.

He said he couldn't tell me. I've

I don’t know how I've stood it this long and I've tried going with other fellows but that

only ended with the kids telling him about it. Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and I wrote to him. He

didn't answer but I found out it

was because he had heard some

lies and didn’t feel like answering. Could his love change so sud-

denly or ‘is he trying to hurt me of his father?

so that IT will forget him because

When TI tell you I'll be 17 in two months you'll prob-

ably say the best thing to do is forget him but I simply can’t stand to think I've lost him forever. I love him with all my heart and no matter how much he hurts me I can’t help thinking he still loves

me. too.

Is there any way for tis to get together again? Should I write

again or wait until school starts and then try to see if his feelings for me really have changed? I can’t give him up. What shall I do? DO DO. 2 s ” Answer— When a girl says, “I can’t” so emphatically what she really means is, “I wont.” Now you are wounded and angry. Not only are you angry with the boy's father for interfering with your companionship but you are angry with the boy for his submission. No doubt your anger disguises itself as wounded pride and hurt feelings, but one feels it underneath in the strength of your refusal to be defeated. From one viewpoint it is better for you to react to defeat with determination to win in spite of all obstacles. It always is better to fight than to give up. What you have to watch out for is that you do not become fixated on- this one experience. When one sees that a goal is impossible, or that the price of success is too great, the trick is to substitute something else for that which has been lost. I often warn girls against the stubborn attitude of “Him or nobody.” There are plenty of other boys just as perfect and yeu can find one if you set your mind to it. In your place I would not write any more grief-stricken letters. Show more independence of spirit. Make him admire you for your ability to take disappointment courageously. Doubtless he will be piqued if you replace him too easily, but let him worry about it. Don't fling yourself at his feet. It will not have the favorable effect which you hope for. It is far better to let him feel the pinch of defeat also when he sees you with a successful rival : JANE JORDAN.

The Length

How long should this year’s coat be? Naturally to be expected as a correlative of the fitted silhouette and the new sleeve interest is the trend to full length garments. The less-than-full-length coat, however, will continue to sell so long as interest in suits continues, and that shows no signs of abating. But even here the very short fur jacket is less important. Because the jackets of suits are a little longer, the 32-to-34-inch length in fur is more widely approved. Lengths in evening wraps are a law unto themselves. Evening wraps and capes may descend to the hipbone and no farther, or they may plunge in luxurious

kidskins in gray, some gray and white lamb, a few blond furs and leopard or South American spotted cat. The Furs

Because of large stocks held in storage, practically all staple furs still are available in spite of shipping difficulties resulting from the war, South American furs in general will be played up, not only because of the shipping problems connected with other sources, but also because of the “Good Neighbor” angle,

Of the South American furs, lamb will be a headliner. A new type this year is tingona, sheared close to resemble the moire effect of broadtail and dyed brown, black, gray or creamy white, Nutria is another South American that will be shown a great deal. On the question of mink, there is little to worry about. Mink produced in North America is conceded to be the best in the world. American muskrat, beaver and seal, too, are good products.

An American fur scheduled to make its debut later in the season is “rare” opossum, referred to as “rare” because of its. unusual coloring — pale creamy beige body with brown guard hairs forming "a band down the center of the peltry. Sturdy beaver wins favor this year in the “striped” versions, which means that the natural coloring of the pelts shading to silvery brown at the sides is retained and the pelts are joined to form five or seven vertical intervals of the paler shade in the body of the coat.

The “let-out” process, previous= ly used to enhance the beauty of mink and a few other furs, has invaded the muskrat field this year. All furs are more supple and apparently lighter in weight,

The Prices

A fur coat can be bought in local ready-to-wear salons for anywhere from below $100 to about $8000. For custom-made garments, the sky's the limit. Probably the outstanding value

of the. year is Persian, selling at from $200 to $500, or beyond, depending upon length, styling, ete. Prices of beavers and nutrias are a little higher this year but their durability minimizes the price rise. They fall into the above$3560 class, along with Alaska seal. Muskrats, both the blended and the Hudson seal-dyed varieties, skunk and American broadtails, may range from $100 to $200. Among furs bridging the gap between the $200 and the $350 price ranges are let-out raccoons and muskrats, some American opossums and the numerous Persians. . Any way you look at it, there seems to be a fur for every purpose . . . and for every purse.

guests will follow the ceremony. Mesdames Robert Koss, Furman Stout and Luella Hall, Miss Clara Otting and Miss Roberta Dickinson will assist. Returning from a motor trip north the couple will be at home, after Sept. 1, at 3425 Carrollton Ave. For traveling the bride will weal a beige wool suit, brown ace cessories and gardenias.
