The attractive group of sub-detutanes,
the girls of the college set, which has
rredomina+ed at the Country club
dances this summer. are surely easy to
lCok at. There was a dinner party at
the Club Saturday night for Miss Clpde
Ronebrake. vino will go to Manhattan
tomorrow to study domestic science at
K. S. A. c. and the girls around the
table were a real beauty show. 1t
doesn't matter what a girl of this age

Older girls need good clothes, well
made, but a Young Thing can slap up

"Pll tell you: you know there are SO
many girls and boys out there and

them ard that 1 wouldn't help to spoil
the picture"
Let not the Young Things be vainly
puffed up, however. They are having
their day. but it will pass. Most OF
them are only good looking because
they tried. If their memories run back
to the dark ages when The Old folks
of the sets which preceded them, were
young they will recall that those girls,
who now look plain and commonplace,
were beauties, too, in their day. The
older men, whose dancing looks so odd
in comparison with the way the col.
lega set dances, were the GlngerS OF
g. few seasons ago and il a girl didn't
have their names on her program the
rarity was a failure. When Alien NC

day will be doing something entirely
