: “Modern Women Are Romance Mad’
* By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Scripps-Howard Staff Writer
NEWS FROM California is that & grogp of matrons have organized themselves into. an, “Over Forty Club.” It will oppose the Van Johnson movement and plug for more
mature screen heroes. The bobbysoxers had better look out. If you think youngsters act silly when chasing romance, youve néver watched matrons in action, An almost forgotten exhibition of that was the Rudolph Valentino funeral. Millions of mothers, grandmothers, and maiden aunts went into hysterics when the Shiek died. It marked the end of one romantic.era in America. Maybe the Cali~ fornia women have started a new one. Actually many older women have less sense where men are concerned than adolescents. Witness the grayhaired gullibles who join matrimonial clubs and later hand over their wealth to thieves, In exchange for a little sweet talk these male bounders get homes, bank accounts and affection. Modern females are cracked over romance. Perhaps the movies are responsible, or maybe it's the fault of American husbands who are anything but romantic. - » n AT ANY RATE, one beautiful Jove affair, one happy marriage no longer satisfies Mrs. America—she wants a series of them; perpetual Jove to match the perpetual youth which she has been told can be hers, if she sets her mind to it. As a consequence, she often cuts a ridiculous figure. Dignity dwindles as good sense evaporates. Her efforts to remain a perennial 17 wouldn't be so hard to put up with if she didn’t try to act 17 too. There's one thing to be said for bobbysoxers—we hope they'll grow up some day. There's léss to hope for in a country where matrons degenerate into bobbysoxers.

Career Girl
By LOUISE FLETCHER Times Woman's Editor
BECAUSE IT'S likely to make the biggest dent in the clothes budget, a coat has to be chosen with care by the business girl when she sets out to round up her wardrobe. For that reason it's interesting : to see the one which Glamour magazine features in its March issue for such a wardrobe. The magazine, devoted to the interests of girls holding down jobs in the business world, stars in the March issue a series of costumes chosen by secretaries on its own staff. These are being shown at Wasson's, 5 o ” AND THE COAT in the series is a voluminous greatcoat in pale honey-beige, wearable, over tailored as well as dressier styles all summer long. Apparently it's a style that has met with approval all over the country, because the Glamour staff has~career council advisers in.many cities. These groups each month let the editors of the magazine know their clothes preferences. » » ” Serving on the council here are Miss Blanche VanLieu, chairman; Dorothy Spencer, Mary Duff, Haryette Clark, Charlotte Engle, Joan Fahey, Marian Hiatt, Marcella McDermit, Zona Maze, Janis Reed, Dorothy Rose, Julia Sullivan and Mary Ruth Knue.
