Old Styles
BY HEDDA HOYT

United Press Fashion Editor
In New York, as IN all large cities,
you can see them; elderly women
who still live and dress in the styles
Of their heyday. Wide skirts sup
ported by buckram, plummed hats
with large crowns, handbags shaped
like carpet-bags, high-topped but
ton boots, wells, etc., are some of the
items these old timers have failed
to drop with the time. The ma
terials worn by these dear old wom-
en- prove that their gowns were of
best quality, for, they lived in an
age when quality meant style. A
reef or two taken in their skirts
and they would pass unnoticed in
modern crowds. But to them old
ways are best. Dear old souls, whose
eyes are closed to our modern ways
Of dressing, you are at least digni-
fed in your odd trappingsl .
What impression will our modern
women who fail to ride with tho
tide of fashion create some twentyV'
years hence? Will Short-hemmed
and short-haired old ladies be the
laughing stock of the new genera
tion? One wonders!
1t is very difficult when une grows
too old to care about coping with
styles to accept new ideas of dress.
We can all number among our
friends chignon-ed women. Yet the
chignon died the day Irene Castle
clipped her first lock. Time will tell
whether the chignon shall return
again. If long hair doesn't come in
style again, long-haired woman
will be a curiosity fifteen years
hence.
The other day I saw an old lady
wearing flowing widows weeds and
the thought occurred to me that
deep mourning weeds were thing
OF the past. Certainly in New York
one doesn't see much of the long
veil. This doubtless, was done away
with when fashion decreed less cons
spicuous mourning apparel.

Judgment
of Bru1on
and Spirit
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARToN

DIX OkAV6 RORGhAC OHRAON
Not long ago there appeared an
article called "Feminism and Jane
Smith," In which the author gave
certain reasons why woman was in
ferior to man.
The comments on the article from
v.omen all over the country are IN
teresting. One woman in her reply
quotes an astronomer who declared
that if he were born on another
planet he hoped he would be more
than an alimentary canal! She ex-
presses also the contradictory state
ment of a gentleman who explained
that mans intelligence had its birth
and growth in his necessity for Jb-
tanning food from same said canal.
I think we must agree with her.
Also when she states the parallel
case of woman: Collaborating" she
declares, may be source of limita-
ton for woman, but it is also the
source of her greatest development" ."
1t is not true? Has not the SYM
pathy and understanding of woman
been developed by the very thing
that has been considered her great
est handicap? Would woman be as
patient, tender, and forgiving, If
centuries of suffering and limitation
had not taught her these virtues?
We always weigh the matter OF
equality of the sexes on the scales
Of brain and Drawn. Why set up the
standards of the male to weigh
woman? A jeweler would be poor
one to criticise a building, and an
architect would have little right to
express an opinion of diamonds.
Is not woman's birthright of
spiritual grace as praiseworthy as
mans inheritance of strength?
Leaving out the matter of intelli-
gence, which may be different but
equal. At any rate what good does
it do to keep up the eternal argu-
ment of equality? Women are wom-
en- and men are men. Childbearing
limits women in >one way only:
To do mems work. And why should
they do mems work unless necessity
demands?
1t SO happens that necessity now
adays often does demand. AS usual
woman rises to the occasion, then,
and does the best she can.

Men Gladly
WaUeASiMe q
Good Groom
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Ed Howe says that he is not able
to forgive women for being as
"onery" as men.
This is a typical male attitude.
Although they contend for superb
ority in ability, strength and INTEL
ligence, the men are eager to give
us the right of way on the path Of
virtue.
Each visions himself second
cousin to the devil, and although
blessed with exceeding great wis
dom, he will make no special effort
to outdo the women so far as morals
are concerned.
The men take unto themselves
palms Of victory in the great
struggle for scientific research, for
invention, for literature, for art. for
all the learning. but graciously ac-
cede to us the laurel crown Of
moral worth.
Indeed, they love to grant this
concession. They take no stock in
being good themselves. They know
that it may become monotonous
business. Being "ornery'' makes
them feel very superior, and they
insist upon having a monopoly OF
wickedness.
This is the way all men actually
want things. While they are out
dealing with the world, and hav-
ing an hilarious time flirting with
Satan and playing with fire, they.
like to pause every now and then
and think gratefully of their women
folks at home busy praying for
them.
Sometimes the tears will spring
to their eyes as they ponder on the
loveliness, the purity, the goodness
of some sainted wife or mother who
is sheltered from all wickedness and
has nothing much to do save love
and weep and petition heaven for
the erring male. The prodigal son
role suits them exactly, and why
not? Did not this wise boy have
all the experience and athe fatted
calf. too?
Most husbands expect to get Into
paradise on their wives apron
strings, and although they think we
women have no capacity for any
thing else, they do like to believe
that we can be good for the whole
family.
A sanity woman always intrigues
man but, never reforms him.

Wild Party Result

Dear Martha Lee: have been going
with young man for over fiye months:
love him dearly and he said he loved
me, but about two weeks ago I went out
on wild party. with my sister and some
friends. One OF the men used to be An
admirer Of mine. Somebody told my sweet
heart about it and he now tells me he
is through with me.
He says for me not to bother him any
more and he would not listen to me when
I tried TO explain. He has also asked me
for the presents he has given me. How
can get him to understand that am
absolutely true to him and love, him only
Do you suppose he still loves2
BROKEN HEARTED H.
I believe should write him. APP
peal to his sense of fair play. Tell
him frankly what~you have told me.
If that does not reach him, of course
you cannot force his further interest,
but believe that approached from
that angle, he will allow his reason
to overcome his anger.
Wild parties with old admirers are
dangerous things-but 7 don't need
to tell you that. ii

Flares. Raised
WaiStHne Noted
in Fall Styles

Following the brilliant autumn
openings of the leading couturiers
in Paris, the outstanding styles may
be summarized as follows:
Flares, raised waistlines and in
tricate fabric manipulation are the
important departures common to
most of the new designs.
Worth emphasizes the mode for
metal in sports costumes. He also
revives the harem skirt effect by
means Of sash ends hanging below
the hem from a draped girdle.
Poiret uses clusters Of metallic
embroidered flowers to trim an en-
semble consisting of a biege wool
fall coat and silk dress.
Drecoll achieves an uneven hem
line by means of side flare from
the hip. He also makes a chiffon
velvet evening dress with a new
diagonal neckline and a dancing
skirt" as it is called, because it al
lows graceful freedom.
Lelong emphasizes the move
ment" Of a sheer white evening
gown by rhinestone edged, satin
bands in spiral effect.
Jenny continues to produce chic
color effects by her combination of
pink with black, especially in eve
ming wraps.
Alphonsine and Talbot this year
sponsor sheer nose yeils on their
newest hats. Blachot's favorite mill
iinery models are in two colors of
felt. Lewis favors felt in pink tones
and either ribbon trimmed or or
namented with rhinestone pins on
the front of the crowns.
Carette uses a black belt on her
tucked sports dress and Talbot uses
two in a new way on a square,
necked frock.
Flares, draperies, front fullness,
uneven hemlines and a discreet
amount Of glitter epitomize the eve
ming mode. Pleats and belt are seen
on a Louiseboulanger evening dress.
Paris coats are either much trim
med with supple furs or they have
none at ALL The straight, tubular
coat has been supplanted by the
flaring one. Bechoff obtains this
silhouette by stitched pleats re-
leased at the bottom of the coat.

fresh indication OF Jne SIuplulCy OIL
The story of the deans dismissal
goes thus:
The college Of which she is dean
is a new type of college. 1t COM
bines class work with actual expert
ence in the world outside the camp
us. The student goes to school so
many weeks and then works so
many weeks, then back to school
again. The work is paid work and
enables the student to pay tuition
and continue in school.
The den of women is responsible
for the women students when they
are working as well as when they
are on the campus.
One girl in the home economics
department wants to be a garment
buyer. She is studying textiles, de-
sign, dyeing, dress budgeting, and
has a lob in the work periods in a
big department store. The job does
not entail actual buying yet. 1t IS a
rather mongrel job consisting OF
cash girling, salesladying, and as
SiStant buyer1ng.
Old Enough for Father
Not long ago the buyer, a middle
aged man with daughters the mas
cots age, received an invitation to
a private conference Of textile and
dye men, a convention at which all
the facts about textiles were to be
thrashed out. A rare opportunity
for any textile studentl r
"Tell you what" said the buyer TO
the department mascot. III take
you along on this trip as assistant
buyer. There'll be plenty Of jobs
YOU can do while I'm in sessions you
can't get in on, but there'll be some
sessions can drag you in on, and
it'll be worth two years OF school
work to you."
The girl was oVrjoyed-so over
loved that she wrote letter full OF
her enthusiasm to the dean of wom-
en-. The dean thought it fine, too
even showed the letter to the col
lege president, believing that he
would be pleased, too, at this proof
of commercial interest in their
school scheme.
But the president discovered in
the girls perfectly frank letter that
the buyer and she had registered
at the same hotel. In horror and
amazement he called the deans
attention to it.
Naturally" said the dean. "They
probably went on the same train,
too, and for all I know had adjoin-
ing or opposite berths. Why in the
world since she went there to at
tend convention, should she reg
lister at an invoncenient hotel merely
because he happened to be under
meath the same roof?"
Doesn't Mean An Orgy
Then the dean said some more
things.
'That day has been past for some
time when any trip which girl
took with a man meant an orgy.
Perhaps a generation ago when girls
were not working girls, they did go
away with men for other purposes.
But I had hoped that this institu-
ton was managed by men of this
generation and not the last"
So they're firing the dean of
women. All because she dares see
things as they are, think of herself,
and not always accept group tabus.
And the college is losing the wisest
faculty member it ever had.
