Decidedly woman should not
meet on a $3.50 basis with men. If
a man wants the pleasure Of wom-
ans company let him furnish some
thing in return. A woman pays in
her marcelled hair. her manicured
nails. her expensive clothes and in
countless other ways. It's a bad
precedent to establish"
(But how about the mans marcelled

clothes, Eulalie?)
Kenneth Cow speaks:
THE man in college is in a differ
ent position from his brothers in the
business and professional world. He
has yet his way to make, and a dollar
looks as big to him in college as a
hundred will probably appear when
he graduates Every college man un-
doubtedly enjoys the company of col
iege women. but he cannot fully enjoy
that company unless he is plentifully
endowed with funds. For instance,
II he takes a coed to dinner with the
last Of his allowance in his pocket
can he enjoy the meal, wondering
how he is going to pay his rent next
week or meet his other obligations?
A sane, sensible arrangement in COL
lege would solve q lot of difficulties.

Certainly a college woman should dc

and the orient had to offer in the
way OF making a foot. conspicuous
| is to be found today in the American
shops ,-.-
When Perugia Of Paris, startled
women last summer with his colorful
medieval shoes the majority thought
they were merely the caprice of n
fantastic italian. a person who adored
museums and the history of Milan
and Venice and put his knowledge
into shoes that no one would wear.
But women did wear them.
The new American shoes are not
like those Of Venice in her glory. but
there is no doubt that Perugia blazed
the path for our bootmakets. Last
January smart French women ap-
peared at parties in glazed kid slip
pers. Immediately we took UP the
fashion. Fashionable women in
France appeared in day hours with
the magnificent slippers of the Bour-
bons. SO did we.
Now the two countries have united
in banishing whatever is common
place from shoes. whatever is prac-
ticai, whatever has stood for Amer
icanism in bootery. Our feet are to
be IS gay as the flowers Of spring
Nothing is too colorful. nothing too
fantastic IN cut and fabric manipula-
ton. no buckle is too large, no tongue

And we have not small feet to put
into them. VIII the effect be good?
WHEN the first rumors OF kid slip

Ganda, something that might change
the buying of suede and patent
leather and give the bootmakers a
chance for a new deal. 1t was not
propaganda except as 1T related to
fashion truth. White glazed slip
pers were worn by brides at Decem-
Der weddings. Red glazed slippers,
also bright blue ones, have been
worn at Palm Beach for several
weeks. Bootmakers show such shoes
as their exclusive shapes for spring.
There are also white kid slippers
with ornamental work done in bright
colored kid. There are plum colored

wearing gloves was never raised

lady that she put on her gloves be-

Compare such standards with those
Of today. Who would dare to say
a lady was not a lady when she car

messed Jewels over the upper parts

At this hour the rebellion against
all settled standards Is in full

public that would have barred them

An Attractive Profile.

Do your features really please you?
You may think that's a useless ques-
ton because IL they don't there is so
little you can really do about it. And
yet, as I have said before, that little is
most important.
The most important thing you can
DO is to stop worrying about them.
] should put that differently. First,
do the little you can to improve your
features, then stop worrying about
them. 1t may be good philosophy to
accept things as they are. but I al
ways have a restless desire to i'm
prove where improvement is posi-
BILE.
You can make your complexion per-
feet, because a perfect skin enor-
mously improves the profile. You can
make your health better. and by
sleeping the proper number of hours
in a we'll ventilated room, and by
exercising outdoors in the wind and
sun you can give your cheeks ma
turally fresh and rosy glow. Proper
color in the cheeks does much to i'm

You can improve your eyebrows,
pulling out the course hairs at the
end or below the line of the arch, or
Strengthening them with tonics II

can make the lashes longer and
thicker and even darker by the faith
full use of proper tonics.
You can dress your hair becomingly
at the sides. Many women do not
think of this. so that though they
look pretty from the front. from the
side they are most unattractive.
Hair should be dressed low on a high
forehead and fairly high on one that

hide hollow checks, and always ar

You can hold your head well and
keep that line beneath the chin

Strange that the slippers OF the six

STRAW will show the way a
~ wind blows and a luncheon
a check will serve as we'll as
\ any other institution to indi-
cate the trend Of the times Hitherto
luncheon checks have blown in only
oue direction, he-ward. The man
might have dined on junket and the
lady on thirty seven varieties of boil
ell dinner-the man might be poor
! as the proverbial church mouse and
tine lady a daughter of CongreSs-it
mattered not; the chivalrous gentle
man always paid the bill. There was
good and sufficient reason for that
the lady couldn't.
Those were the good old days when
lovely woman stood on a pedestal"
which simply meant that she didn't
own cent and couldn't call her soul
her own. Pedestals have their ad-
Santages. One Of them is having
luncheon checks paid for you. But
in the long run they have more dig
advantages than advantages. SO
finally lovely woman shinnied down
from hers. with considerable detri-
ment to her dignity, declared her
self the equal OF man, grabbed the
vote and started out to look for q
fob.
DUT now comes the odd part OF this
- little cross section OF human his
tory. She looked for the Job. She
found the job. The main disadvant-
age Of her pedestal period was at
last overcome. She was on an eco
omio plane with man. But, but
Suddenly she found that economic
planes have almost as grave disad-
Nantages as pedeStals. All sorts OF
troublesome things were expected OF
/ ier. She had to serve on Juries, pay
taxes and bother her head with poll
tics. There was even talk Of sending
her TO prison when she committed tho
rrimes for which men were sent to
| prison. Chivalry seemed to have been
wiped right of the face Of the map! Men
no longer lifted their hats in the
elevators when she entered, nor took
heir feet down from the Office desk,
hor the cigar out Of their once
mouths They even fired her from
Ter job without the slightest con-
eideration for her sex. And, worst
bf all, they began to expect her to
pay her own way! Which Is right
where this story starts in.
James took a good long look at his
genny and said: "Looka here. what's
the big idea of my paying for every
thing: Why don't you pay your own
way some etimes?"
