WHAT GIRLS LIKE
Readers Of Novels Insist on Pa
sionate Scenes, Sentimental Moon
light and Happy Findings.

London, Oct. "a Pl-Youne "Nlls,
1925" Is a sentimental miss and
eager to delVe into a love story.
Book sellers say a novel with plenty
of passion and a few sentimental
moonlight scenes is sure Of a big
sale among the girls of today. The
modern miss also like happys end
ings to her stories.
Heads OF libraries tell the same
tale as the book sellers. The boom In
"shcill" stories, said one library
manager, Is a sign that girls have
not changed. The strong. silent man
who proves his love by beating his
sweetheart is as popular as ever.
Another librarian is authority for
the statement that most Of the seri-
Gus reading Of today IS being done
by men. A few girls take out books
Of poetry and volumes Of plays, but
most Of them select well-thumbed
stories Of love.

Her husband is Tito Schipa,
leading tenor of the Chicago Grand
Opera company. He sings divine
ly, and some Of the romantic young
things are wild about him.
The other night after q concert
the two were in drug store to
drink cherry soda or something
before going home. Mrs. Schipa
had her back turned temporarily
to her husband while looking at a
new kind OF powder puff or face

ton.
She turned like a tigress and
saw a young Chicago university
coed with her arms about Tito's
neck, kissing him. Tito was look

whether to stand his ground or

The Over-fOnd coed was routed,
but as she left she loudly pro
claimed her Cove for the husband
on the grounds of having heard
him sing.
There are several morals to this
story. u ;
One is that hearing 4 man sing
does not constitute adequate
grounds for divorce, which is ne
cessary as preliminary to re-
marriage.
Another is that the wife has
something to say in such cases.
Another is that first impressions
may not always be reliable. And
there's ever SO many more morals
to the story, all of them good.
Anyhow. Mrs. Schipa says pen
sively, that life is not all one sweet

New York, Feb. 10.-Babies may be
bought, leased or rented in New
York. The usual use for rented ba-
bies is beginning. They are half

their howls. The older ones, led by
the hand, attract sympathy because
of their emaciated condition.

Babies are also rented for black

SHOCKS FOR MEN
New York WOrld)

Dr. Thomas Darlington, former
health commissioner of New York,
advocates simpler clothing for men,
particularly bright-cOloret, smocks;
and his proposal, to say the least,
is startling. But why not? Most
of us, now and then. must marvel
at the clothes worn by men in this
the enlightened twentieth century.
Why do we wear the clothes we
wear?
In all likelihood there are two
factors: one, the universal ack-
nOwledgment on the part of the
modern male or an obligation to
work; the other, a vague notion
that our employment, being OF a
quasi-public nature, demands a
certain kind OF attire.
When you get a man whose work
brings him cOnspicuOusly in the
public eye, you get slave of silly
clothes. Such men are governors.
who go about in pot hats and I'M
dertaker coats, and statesmen, who,
feeling that they represent the
firm," pay more to the hotel press
ing establishment than to the cigar
stand.
But when you get a man who is
consciously itSe, or who feels that
he does not have to meet the world
and make, an impression on it, you
get a'9nan who is comfortably, SEN
silly anG usually picturesquely
clad.
Such men were the old, idle aris-
tocrats, who got themselves UP in
plum -colored douLiets, slashed
with pink; silk stockings CT gay
hue. and high-iheeled shoes with
cleaning buckles. Such men are
those to be found around sum-
mer pleasure resort, where any
thing from golf breaches anu plaid
stockings to rough sailing clothes
are the rule.
Such men are farmers, artists,
miners, lumbermen and cowboys,
whose attire is comfortable and in
some measure appealing to the i'm
agination.
Don't we harass ourselves UNI
duly over dress? wouldn't either
the governor or the salesman do as
well if he wore DR.. Darlington's
smCck? a - Il
