Mrs. s. z. Perkins was elected
president of the Womans Depart

unexpired term OF the late Mrs. T..
J. Robinson. Mrs. Everett NJ.
Schofield was elected first vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Edward Ferger, third vice

Harry Foreman, directors at large.
In his talk on Eastern and West
-ern Ideals" Syud Hossian, journalist
from India, said: I'VE have not
progressed intellectually and spirit
ually as we have economically. In
these two respects we are still living
in the middle ages, in isolation. We
must build up a body Of intellect
in the world that is forward look
ing.
THE whole world is looking to-
ward the United States as the shaper
Of the worlds destiny. There has
been great deal of misconception
in this country in regard 20 the
position Of the East as an influence
to mankind. Every great religion
has come from the East, every de-
partment OF human knowledge had
its principle laid down in the East
and in our education of youth TODAY
we should not forget to teach them
these fundamental facts"

CHAPTER "

Nobody lives on the hill"
That's what the official sisterhood
Of Washington tells the newcomer
when her private car strikes the
Union Depot (Yes, indeed, many of
them come by private car, and many
of them do not.)
But however they come, they soon
learn that if they would be some
bodies in Washington, they simply
may not live within committing dis.
lance of 'the hill"--the nations
beautiful capitol building.
Sometimes the sisterhood strikes
hard nut to crack. Sometimes an
insurgent husband brings an insur-
gent wife who insists on living
where she darn pleases.
Insurgent Shipsteads
Take the Hendrick Shipsteads
from Minnesota, for instance. Mrs.
Shipstead started house-hunting.
They told her that nobody lived on

She told the senator. lie said.
An so we nave 50 ueSeHeTdteu

The Shipsteads live on the hill,
almost next door to the capitol,
which Mrs. Shipstead calls the big

HE-WOMAN
DEAD, AVER
LONDONERS
Long Live the Modern Femi-
nine Girl, Is Fashion
Cry.

BU United Press
LONDON, March 10.-The he.girl
has killed herself. She was. a fail
ure.
This is the verdict of the fashion
jury of London after an autopsy on
dead styles. The he-woman became
neurotic through the craze for
straight lines and the boyish figure.
She dieted and starved herself until
she became painfully thin.
Her place is being taken by the
modern feminine woman, who, judg-
ing by the spring fashions, will be a
perfectly delightful person.
"She will be slim, yes" said a
prominent court dressmaker. '"She
will never go back to the bad old
days when women were all figure
and vapors. Tennis, golf and motor
ing have done away with that. But
she is profiting from the reaction of
the match-stick figure. She will
wear higher waists, fluffier frocks,
gayer buttonholes and richer evening
shawls. She will be more feminine
and more lovely. Her skirts will be
about an inch longer and she will
want to be a shade plumper. The
rolled stocking idea is dead. 1t was
a crazy notion for London, with our
climate, and knees obviously too
ugly. Also the fiat heel idea has
been abandoned. 1t was only a
whim, anyway, and the women who
dumped along in low-heeled shoes
found they were bad for the ankles.
I'm the daytime Miss 1927 will
wear simple, straightish dresses; at
night her frock will spring into full
ness from the waist, which will be a
tr:fie higher and with cascades of
draperies from the hip. She will be
real she-woman.

E7UNDAY evening Mrs. Louis
- Haerle entertained a few
guests at tea before DIR. Will
Durant's lecture on "The Ten Great
est Thinkers" at the Kirschbaum
Community Center. Her guests were
Miss Margaret Painter, Miss Eliza
beth Haerle, Irving Fauvre, Howard
Webb Adams, Theodore SEVERN and
Edward Raub. DR.. Durant is a brill
liant, chatty speaker. I was quite
proud of the audience. Mr.. D. L.
Chambers was the moderator and
read the questions asked after the
talk. They were of such an intelli
gent nature that it occurred to me
that it wouldn't have been necessary
for DIR. Durant to have popularized
his subject to the extent he did.
Afterwards we all went to Ted
Severin's to discuss DIR. Durant's
choice of the ten greatest thinkers
Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Coperni-
Gus, Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton,
SpinoZa, Voltaire, Kant and Charles
Darwin. Mrs. Haerle made the point,
and think it a good one, that OAR
win was not in strict definition a
purely philosophical thinker, but pri-
marily scientist and naturalist.
Therefore she would have omitted
his name and included Nietzsche.
Then the argument waxed because
somebody else wanted Descartes, and
the evening was wan and weary be-
fore we finally disbanded, settling alb
Solutely nothing-thereby proving we
had somewhat matured since col
legiate days.
Ilene, I've been so consistently
high-broW over the weekend that
you know reaction is inevitable
and scheduled. The Players Club
performs next Friday night, and the
rehearsals are always small and ex-
elusive riots. The program con-
