today made the following statement
for the Public Ledger Foreign
Service:
Three weeks ago there lowered
over Eastern Europe a feeling OF
depression uncqualed since the
darkest days of the war Poland
was all but submerged by the Red
tide and Germany. was apparently
waiting TO welcome it. Labor in
nearly every country from which
Poland might expect help had given
notice that no help should be forth
coming. 1t was increasingly difficult
TO move munitions by either land
or sea and each attempt brought
protests from labor and threats OF
a general strike.
Worse still there was no agree
ment among the allies as to pol
icy Great Britain and France were
in complete diScord. and the world
for the moment hung in the bal
ance.

Then, came word that the tide
was turning and that there was
great hope Of a smashing victory.
Premier MlIerand had sent Gen.
Weygand, with several hundred
French officers, to Poland 10 direct
military operations and this great
strategist justified the faith his
government had in him. The op-
posing forces were flung back along
several hundred kilometers, and
Gen. Weygand, concentrating the
Polish army, went through the Rus
sian lines without difficulty and by
a rapidly developing movement
captured or destroyed the larger
part of the Soviet troops.
1t is said that General Weygand
paws a fine tribute to the Poles as
soldiers. ranking them among the
best troops in Europe. The Poles
feel and with reason, that they are
defenders Of civilization and being
such are entitled to more material
and moral assistance than they
have yet gotten. They appreciate
the recent note of our government

Did you ever notice, how much
younger girl looks at 26 than she
does at 16g OF course this is not
true in all cases, but if you will look
carefully and observe the young
flappers going to and from school,
YOU will often see flowing wells, ear
ings, exaggerated style and paint
and powder to the extreme.
Now don't get angry girls, for
really you know this is so. |, know
too. l was sixteen myself, once.
The reason for this is a tendency
TO emulate the older women and
girls, to grow up too quickly and by
so doing the young sub deb looses
of her charm-the greatest charm
there is. the charm Of youth. She
adds years to her age and uncon-
sciously does the very thing every
woman tries to avoid. she makes
herself old.
Ten years later she has more
sense. She realizes that the flowing
veil. the French heels and the paint,
whisper of maturity and she dis
cards them for the ingenus dress
and hats that would fit little sister.
Look around at the thousands of
girls who work in the city every day.
Most of these stenographers, typists,
clerks and shop girls are nearer 35
than they are 10 and if You will OBJ
serve you will notice that the ma
jority wear fiat heels, norfolk or
tailored suits with severe sailor hats
or close fitting turbans. They have
TO keep their precious youth, not
throw it away like the young school
girl.
Now don't think I'm a crank or
want to keep you from having pref
ty clothes or up-to-date models,
] don't, but simply want you to look
your pery best in the clothes that
are most becoming.
