SEX APPEAL
Ho1O Can q Girl Register 1t
With Knees Barely Coz
cred and Hen, Hair IN
Boyish Bob, Mrs. Patrick
Campbell Asks.

By United Press
LONDON, July 13.-"How can a
girl register sex appeal when her
frock barely covers her knees and
she wears boyish bob?" Mrs. Pat
rick Campbell asked in a speech at
the Lyric Theater
and precipitated, over the ques-
ton of uncovered calves, clipped
coiffures, and frigid ternperaments,
one of the bitterest stage contro-
versieS in months.
Mrs. Campbell, discussing stage
diction and dramatic art, spoke as
one whose ability to portray stage
passion was proved years ago and
whose enunciation of Bernard
Shaw's mot bloody likely" in his
play, Pygmalion, made people
shocked at the rendition of a word
forbidden in polite English circles
wonder whether her diction was not
almost too excellent for the good
of British morals.
Mrs. Campbell's skepticism re-
garding the modern girl has di-
vided the London stage into two
camps-for legs and against legs.
A certain correlation has been
observed between the choice of sides
and the legs and age of the par
Elephants.
Mrs. Campbell's opponents point
out with pride that in the three
most vivid love scenes on the cur
rent stage the flapper actresses
wear considerably less than the Or
binary short-skirted girl.

Whit of It2

Married three times and divorced
twice and now attempting the third
divorce from the same man, is the
record of Velma Boehner, 20, of
Joliet, Ill. Which is not at all sur
prising. People marry because of
plain biological appeal for a certain
person over which their minds have
little control. The mind, in fact,
may completely reject a person and
from this rejection divorce may re-
suit. But that fundamental emo
tional appeal is stronger than any
mental rejection, and the remar-
riage is almost inevitable. Which is
exactly why women will stay with
brutes of husbands while everybody
else asks ''why in the world doesn't
she leave him?" Which is why, too,
the brainy man marries the empty
pated damozel, while everybody asks
why in the world he does it and
what does he see in her? The Won
der about the whole business is that
there should be any wonder!

you to tell me who from In
dianapolis will be here that I
know. In fact, my dear, they are
already here in all their glory.
Paris is festive with tourists and the
Hoosiers are doing themselves proud.
Must tell you some more about
the clothes, particularly the pat
termed fabrics with small close de-
signs which are conceded very smart
and reach their perfection in chit
fons. Channel, Vionnet and LAWN
and the rest are making ensembles
in chiffon that are the last word in
femininity and will make the mus
culine woman retire for so many
rounds that she'll never register in
the present mode.
Fragility Noticed
At the races Sunday the return
to fragility was most noticeable.
Dresses of lace, chiffon, fllny crepes
and organizes outnumbered all 9TH
ers and our old friend, the ostrich
boa, was there in all it's glory, in
white, pastel colors and vivid greens
and reds.
OF course, they dress much differ
emily for the races than you do in
America. You wear sports clothes
and semi tailored gowns, while
French women generally wear gar
Gen party outfits.
My idea of what looks well stroll

Youthful costume of blue and white

attention was pleasantly attracted
by the wide blue suede belt with a
silver buckle and band OF plain

peak for nothing! Then joining the
curls and the straight portion I
wear very lovely comb of tortoise

My friend Aunurtine is much
more daring. She scoops her hair
up plain in the back and front and
at the sides and wears very, very
distracting curl staring right out of
the middle of her Uranium. But
then she is very lovely and with her
eyes she can do anything.

BY ALLENE SUMNER

It is no far-fetched statement to
say that the day is coming when the
family which has a house all to it
self will be a rarity. There is not
enough room to go around any
more. We are ver-populated. The
stupidity of those who battle birth
control not only makes war and
bloodshed necessary, but also means
that even in days of peace, more
or less. all people must live uncom-
Portable lives. In other words, the
slogan. of this r-crowded world
is quantity living rather than quail
ity living.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-07-13
The Facts

Because there is not space enough
to go around, we must build and live
one on top of the other, apartment
house plan. If you like it, continue
to battle all champions of birth con-

Poverty as
Helpful Note
in Marriage
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON


The chances are that the general
public will not become unduly ex-
cited over the news that the movie
stars face a cut in salary. The re-
bellion of Tom Mix leaves us cold.
We have no tears to shed when we
know that poor little Clara Bow and
Colleen Moore may be compelled to
get along on four thousand week.
And while the situation may be
serious, still so long as the most of
us are concerned with getting
enough money to buy beef steak,
we shall let them do their own
worrying.
And perhaps out of this evil may
come good. This cruel edict of the
cinema cars may be the means of
saving our reason. For perhaps the
necessity of facing poverty will
help in the matrimonial situation
of Hollywood.
Amused a Continent
Hitherto, the stars have had so
much money to spend that they
found it wearisome to stay married
long at time. Their marital antics
have furnished the comedy for a
continent. Too many tales of hot
and passionate love have eliminated
in fist fights and alimony. AS it is
now, the theater-going public is left
with no illusions.
When we see these charming won-
en- wooed by handsome SWANS, when
we read the sweet little stories of
harmonious home life, and are told
that the highly paid star sometimes
turns on the electricity and cooks
a rarebit for her darling spouse, it
it horribly disheartening to learn,
three months later, that she is on
her way to Paris, charging him with
desertion, failure to provide and
mental cruelty.
Morale Impaired
Too much movie marrying has
been detrimental to our national
morale. Too much money has prob
ably been responsible for these all
too frequent weddings.
Personally we should enjoy seeing
the temperamental stars face some
respectable poverty, and stay mar
ried at least five years to the same
person.
It's highly inconvenient for the
fans to keep track of all the various
ex-husbands and eX-wives. If you
keep up with the matrimonial whims
of the screen clan, you have no time
for anything else. Perhaps if we
could keep them worried about their
salary so that they might have no
time to think of getting mad at each
other, we could get some time off to
study the presidential situation.

Houses Coma

Only two out of five homes built
in 1926 were one-family homes. We
may enthuse about the comforts of
apartment living. We may enthuse
over iceless refrigerators, janitor
service, hot water, built-ins, easy
homework and all the rest. But
am convinced that the only normal
place where child should live is a
whole house with a yard. I believe
in the sense of family dignity and
privacy which can be given only by
a home of ones own. Besides, just
try getting into a one-family house
with children, if it isn't your own
homel

gadS in
\ He'd be sure to get my goat!
Without doubt, the prettiest
things of the season, as far as resort
wear is concerned, are the new
colorful silk coolie coats. Made on
coolie coat lines, usually with black
backgrounds batiked or stenciIed in
the gayest of colors, they are the
highlights OF the beaches.
Last year the coolie coat merely
had medallion design between the
shoulders with, perhaps, slight
repetition of design used down the
eront borders. This year the design
composed of five or six colors may
cover the entire upper portion of
the coat leaving the bottom plain
or vice versa. Again, a huge de-
sign in the shape of fan, a Jap
anese girls head, bird or circular
motif is used between the shoulders
in combination with wide hem
boder design. Many of the new
models have designs of modernistic
rather than Japanese type The
colors usually combined are bright
reds, yellows, purple, orange, green
and orchid.
The attractive thing about these
coats IS. that although they are de-
signed for beach purposes they are
equally attractive for Longing robes
and can even be worn at evening
time over the summary frock. Very
attractive models Of heavy silk are
selling the shops from $40 to SIS
each.
A New York cosmetic firm mas
lately offered new beach powder
of a delicate beige shade which is
most attractive upon the wearer of
coat of Oriental coloring. Some
how one associates the coolie coat
with olive-hued compilations and
this new plae shade of beige powder
gives just tiny suggestion of the
olive tint.
When the coolie coat is worn
over the bathing suit painted
wooden Japanese : sandals offer
further attraction. One can wear
thees over the rubber bathing slip
pers although they are generally
worn over bare feet. Japanese
parasols of oiled paper, gayly printed
in colors, are also popular where
one goes in for Oriental beach
effects
