Girls and Tn cir Affairs.
Conducted by Helen III. Fetter

TIRLS are generally accused OF
~ being the most particular about
having fine feathers to wear and De-
ting interested in decorating them
selves with unusual combinations and
color schemes. However, during the
past week they have been outshone
Al this respect, consistently, nearly
every day and in every way.
The men have held the floors and
nhE streets with a blaze of gorgeous
costumes that. included the most
Slistening satins. the richest velvets.
snd the most enticing gold braid in
their making.
Women may be the vain sex, but it
IS a statement that has always been
doubtful in its authenticity and after
last week seems weaker than ever IN
regard to truthfulness. For the past
century the daily costumes OF men
ard boys have been growing more
and more drab for daytime pursuits
and practically funeral in the mass at
evening functions. The different wars
which have been waged in that period
have given short opportunities Tor
attractive uniforms. And it has been
through organizations such as the
Mystic Shrine that men have found
an outlet for appearing, IN gay cos
color There is no doubt that the
spectators and the wearerS both en-
JOY these costumes immensely and
they add much to the gayety OF the
occasion.
THE girls of Washington have had
L many and varied experiences dur
ing Shrine week. The air has been
full of carefree spirit closely akin
10 that which is prevalent when the
circus comes 10 town-Only more so.
There have been so much excite
nlent and noise and everything done
40 music that the girls have had more
than even the most active happeI
rould wish. The days have been full
"f gay crowds sauntering up and
Ilown the streets quenchlng their
thirst and satisfying their hunger
with some of the oldest comblnatlons
of food that ever could be imagined
The nights have been saturated with
e1ittering lights and volumes of en-
ticing music. There have been dane
ing and supping and more dancing.
In short, it has been one grand
sime' x
THIS week the girls who are
l. seniors at the high schools will
have only three days TO go TO school
and then they will he as busy as bees
In putting the finishing touches IL
graduation finery.
Girls who are not of this select
group as yet will merely enjoy knit
ting on more rainbow-tinted sweaters
and engaging in the usual sports Of
summer after the short hours OF
&chool are over.
The swimming pools are getting
fuller and fuller each day after
school, and the evening classes are all
filled with girls who wish to perfect
themselves in the water sport.
There seems to be a little bit OF
mermaid in every girl in the summer
time.

Readu.

THE members of the Girls Club
i of Central High School are among

of the annual banquet and important
events of the club.

one deckled edge and the printing is
artistically done in brown ink. The
cover is of heavy brown paper with
an enlargement of the c Club pin de-
sign on the front. The cover is also
made by Thelma Castle.

Miss Little Leaves TO,
Brockton.

MISS VESTA +. LITTLE. who has
ANl been executive of the Il street
branch of the Y. W. 6. A. for the
past year. goes to Brockton. Mass,
on July l and will serve as general
secretary in the Y. W. c. A. Her
splendid work here, where she has
filled a position of great responsible
fly. has been largely responsible for
the success of the + street branch.
and her associates feel keenly her
departure.
Miss Little is grfaduate of Ober-
lin College. Oberliu, Ohio. where she
received the degree of bachelor of
arts and a degree in physical train
Ing. From college she went as
physical director TO the y. W. {. A.
III South Bend. Ind. After that she
served as director of health educa-
ton in the Detroit association. whence
she was sent by the national board.
Y. w. c. A, to France in 1918. She
served for a year at st. Etienne. a
recreation center maintained by the
Y. w. q. A. for business and indus
trial girls of that munitions COM
munity. 1t was on her return from
France in 1918 that she became ex
ecutive secretary of the L street
branch, which had just been acquired
by the local association. and began
her organizing work which has re-
suited in the efficiency and success of
the present center.
On account Of her experience with
industrial girls she is particularly
well fitted for the position which she
is accepting in Brockton. in speak
ing of her new work. Miss Little said:
Special emphasis on the industrial
girl and her problems is the key
note Of the Y. W. c. AS work in
Brockton, which is one of the great
est hoe-manufacturing cities in the
world, with the consequent problems
of a big industrial city. The Y. w.
G. A. offers help to the industrial
girl, gives her much and
wholesome recreation.
THE administration building in
Brockton is a model one. A fine
swimming pool, bowling alleys, a
we'll equipped gymnasium, as well as
clubrooms, a cafeteria, parlors and
reading rooms are in this center.
The lobby of the building is ideal,
with a big rock fireplace as a pic
turesque feature. Brockton also has
fine boarding home with adjoining
tennis courts for girls and q thriving
cafeteria in the heart of the city
Miss Little is to attend the city
conference OF the Y. w. c. A. at the
conference grounds on Silver Bay,

associations gather for ten-day ses-
sion from July II to 2T.

French Girl Flyer Sets
Record.

MYTH our pride in the leading
w American girls and women in
terested in aviation, especially in the
records set by such women as Ruth
Law. katherine Stinson and Lillian
.Iatlin, along different lines and at
different times, it is interesting to
hear of the new height record made
by the French girl flyer Mile. Andree
Peyre, living in Los Angeles. She is
reported to have reached an altitude
of $4,000 feet above Rogers Airport,
according 10 officials of the Aero Club
of Southern California. Iyar L. Show
gram, observer for this organization,
will definitely verify this record as a
world mark for woman flyers.
Mile. Peyre is only twenty-three
years old and has been flying for
nearly three years, principally in
america. Her three brothers were all
Myers with the French Army and all
three were killed during the war.
She is engaged to marry a British
aviator.

Reviews of New Books

detectives. Under the combined IN
spiration Of Conan Doyle and Edgar
Allan Poe, this writer creates, ac-
cording TO his special powers, a
sleuth of disarming front. but pos
sessed, nevertheless, of what the
author considers the inductive meth.
cd of getting at the roots of crime.
where the particular criminal sought
is sure to be found. Having made
this super-sleuth. the average author
falls back upon the practice of letting
George do it-leaving the entire bust
ness in the hands of this prince OF
detectives. Right here Is the point
or departure for Wadsworth Camp in
his detective stories, Instead of
putting everything upon Garth. his
self the task Of building a good and
substantial story-a story that is
carefully worked out in purpose and
plan, rooted in human nature and in
plausible set OF circumstances, with
characters that are in and of them
serves worth while. 1t Is in such a
situation that he provides work for
a man-size job on the part of Garth.
Each of these stories-seven in all
demonstrates this fact in respect to
MT. Camps work. They are all in a
substantial way. even though the
TO provide for its unraveling. The
last story. THE Obscure Move" is a
little gem. and all of them are ad-
mirable.
