GAIN Jim avoided my eyes.
~ And IN q rush Of bitterness
and jealousy 1 realized that
his chief reason wasn't protecting
mo from malice and questioning,
but that he was asking rhe to
stand between Ruth Gregory and
The criticism Of the world.
When Jim asked me to act as
sponsor" for his share in Ruth
Gregory's work I had moment
Of pride and satisfaction. But
when he refused to arrange for me
OF see the statue came to q sud-
den realization that he really
wasn't trying to bring me in closer
touch with his interests.
All through hard day Of grill
ing work I tried to push my fears
into the back Of my mind. But
they kept hopping up and clamor-
ing.
Again / felt that obscure i'm
pulse to turn to Ralph Lacy. And
even though I was more than half
afraid that he was still out Of
town, couldn't resist telephoning
his office. got a feeling Of great
steadiness and satisfaction, there.
fore, when he himself answered
the call with amazing promptness.
want someone to take you to
lunch?" asked Ralph, adding al
most In the same breath: Il could
Just revel in taking you and Betty
out for a wild orgy Of fussy feed
ing on the avenue.
"I'll run out and see If Betty
can come" answered.
"Oh. let's leave that on the
knees Of the gods. Wen count on
having Betty with u.s. but if she
can't come and I've driven all the
way uptown to take some friends
to luncheon the long hope to cheer
my solitary meal won't desert me
just because we aren't trio--will
ehe?"
''Your language is involved"
began. but Ralph cut in with
laughing:
"And so is my next hour. I'll
be up at one, and don't care how
many beautiful ladies take out
to eat. But one at least I must be
guaranteed"
"All right" I agreed, and said
good-by.
As. soon as had finished the
piece Of copy on which 1 was work
ing I went out to ask Betty to
come to Ralph's party. But Betty
had already gone to lunch. re-
turned to my office, chagrined at
my own lack Of observation-disclosures.
Surely I, who without hesitation
drive out to Aunt Mays with
Ralph, ought not to be silly about
lunching with him.
But the fact remains I can never
conquer my distaste for the mod
ern custom Of Haunting into res
taurants with a man other than
my husband
And still more strongly do I feel
that the married woman who takes
mp a bachelors time is poaching
on some single girls preserves.
However, have to be frank
enough to acknowledge to myself
that lunching with Ralph isn't a
1earsome or boresome prospect.
Just as I was getting my work

MANNING IS SILENT
 ON JURY PROPOSAL
Experts to Ask Right to Judge
 Church Performances

New York, Jan. 24.-Bishop VII. liam T. Manning was silent yesterday on the letters written to him by the Rev. Dr. William Norman Guthrie and the yestry of St. Marks -in-t the Bouwerie, in which it was proposed that jury of 50 be appointed to judge the eurhythmic rituals carried on as part of the church services The refusal of the bishop to discuss the matter does not indicate, however, that he has dropped it, since it has been his habit with similar cases in the past to consider a question for a time before making any public con- ment.
 The Rev. Dr. Guthrie announced that this morning sermon Sunday will be on Spiritual and Literal Truth, as to History, Myth. Dogma, Art Creations and Human Character" In the afternoon at o'clock there will be held in St. Marks hall sym posium on the religious dance. AL fred Richard Orage, former editor of The New Age, now in America rep resenting NJ. Gourdjieff's institute for the Harmonious Development of Man of Fontainebleau, France, will speak on 'The Sacred Dances-Their Reac- ton on the Dancers and Their Effect on the Spectator" The Rev. Dr. Guthrie will speak on "A Little An- thology on the Dance From the Eng fish Poets"
 Louis II. chalif, president of the \ nria tnfs Af of Dancing, announced that should the Rev. Dr. Guthrie and Bishop Man ming agree to abide by the decision of a clerical jury as to the relevancy of ritualistic dancing at St. Marks the society will ask permission to re- port on the historical accuracy and chorographic merit of the dances.
 Members of the society" said Mir. Chalif, "are eager to learn if the rhythmic exercises at St. Marks in- the Bouwerie are truly representative of the art of dancing. In dancing, il is a short step from the sublime 10 the ridiculous and, consequently, cen- sure. Dancing teachers in all parts of the United States arc interested in this controversy, as many of them feel that it's results will have a far reaching effect on the standing of their profession"

 man of the fashion committee at the
 Merchant Tailor Designers associa- tion's forty-fourth annual convention being held at the Hotel Pennsylvania
 "The derby is primarily a dress hat said the speaker, but is conservative headgear. Styles cannot be made by the tailors' but. the trend of fashion can be ascertained by specialists. fol- lowed up and encouraged.
 "Undeniably history repeats itself Fashion tends to the conservative in dress and to greater meticulohsntss and formality in evening wear. In the latter respect there will be the re- semblance of reversal to ante- bellum days"
 Coats will be far more loose fitting. according to Mfr Tyler. Trousers will not pinch the knee, Pockets will be spacious and sewed on at a lower ex- tremity of the coat. which will be generally made in straighter lines. Any extremes will have a tendency to over fullness rather than to a form fitting tightness. Lapels will be larg- CT and waistcoats will be double breasted.
 The trend in styles seems to denote demand by men for comfort. Every coat, pair of trousers or waistcoat will be cut with this aim. The fancy waistcoat is coming back and will be worn by well dressed men. Overcoats will be designed in line with the more general conservative and formal trend.

Walker. "If you can look a man In the eyes and ascertain his charac- ter, you will be certain to satisfy him in your trade. If he is a snappy the cut Of your cloth must be snappy and the color of the goods that you show him should he suffi- ciontly startling"
