Paris Styles
BY HEDDA HOYT

UNITED Press Fashion EDITOR
PARIS, Sept. blooming to Paris
to look for French styles is like
hunting for needles in haystacks!
Or, rather, it's like looking for
French styles in Elgin, Ill. For,
Paris is literally crowded with wom-
en- from all parts of the United
States and unless one has an en-
trance into the smart, high priced
establishments which cater to buy
ers, one must accept the styles on
the streets as Partisan.
Formerly one could sit at table
on the sidewalk in front of the Cafe
de la Paix and watch fashionable
Paris pass by. Today, one sits there
and sees America pass Not one
woman in six is a French woman.
The few words of French learned on
the boat coming across are entirely
unnecessary. English is spoken
everywhere. Even the walters in
the small cafes are going to night
schools to learn English and when
one tries to spring a few French
words upon them the reply is invari-
ably in English.
And what does the travelling
American woman wear? That's an
easy question. Whatever indiVidu-
atty in dress she had at home she
has lost. In Paris she wears her
last springs cloth coat, fat-heeled.
calf or lizard shoes and a felt sku
hat with feathers over the eartabs.
The eartab feathers are a Partisan
adaptation. Feathers may be pur-,
chased in the shops for two francs
each. Thus for cents the Ameri-
can skull cap becomes a French
affair. Hats are invariably black or
beige and feathers match them.
If the American woman in Paris
is distinguished by her feathered
skull cap during the daytime, she
distinguishes herself by wearing
evening clothes at night. Few
Parisian's dining out at small cafes
wear evening dress. Tbs American
at night is always hatless and
dressed for the theater whether she
goes or not, whereas the French
woman seen on the streets at night
is usually dressed in street clothes.
A woman wearing evening dress at
night, even though she be painted
like a barber-pole, travels unmolest-
for she is known as an American.
The French girl who walks alone
wears a little sports dress and hat.
Tomorrow we visit some of the
establishments which formerly had
little placards in their windows with
the words English spoken"

One-half billion dollars worth of

fur coat was a sign of social as

-one for morning, another for aft

he continued, This little animal

for the theater or opera are pro-

Blue LazU'
Millions
for Waste
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
The Lords Day Alliance has start
ed a campaign in Washington to
raise several million dollars to pro-
mote nationwide Sunday blue laws.
This will only be several million
dollars wasted.
Years ago, before there were such
things as automobiles or moving pic
ture shows or golf courses, the whole
family dressed up in their best on
Sunday and trooped to church. In
small towns and cities, church was
the chief social event. The young
women went there to be looked at
by the SWANS across the aisles; the
little maids liked to have on their
starched and ruffled dresses and
feel important The women enjoyed
getting glimpse of one another's
new hats, while the men felt their
dignity as they passed the collection
plate. A great many of them were
good and clean-minded people, but
I have no doubt that the majority
were just as wicked as we are.
Doubly Satisfying
For in those days church services
satisfied not only the religious but
the social urge. It gave opportunity
for visiting with friends and neigh
bors; it was the community meeting
place and thousands of lonesome
women looked forward to Sunday
with longing. The entire day was
given over to pleasant meetings and
heavy eating and conversation.
Church attendance. Is falling off
now, not because we are SO much
more wicked than we used to be, but
because we have so many other OPP
portunities for seeing our friends.
We do not have to work SO hard,
and therefore have more leisure for
visiting. Our cars travel at a fast
rate OF speed, therefore we enjoy
making trips. And the movies feed
our appetite for thrills, therefore we
do not indulge in 50 much religious
hysteria.
True Religion Still
But SO far as true religion-is con-
cerned there are probably as many
people who yearn for God as there
have ever been because, in spite Of
our crime waves, we are still crea-'
lures that nothing on earth can ever
satisfy. Within us dwafis the divine
discomfort.
Church attendance will never be
increased by passing legal measures.
For no law, either ancient or mod
ern, has ever been able to force love
of God or his fellow men into the
heart of any mortal.

Youth SAirS
Magnificent
BY OLIVE ROBERTs BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
One of the most cruel things in a
woman's life is to be "shelved" by
the younger generation, particularly
when that generation isn't so much
younger after all.
How quickly the new elbows away

the world it owns. There is no doubt
about tin spite of white-headed
captains of industry, heavy finan-
ciers, and bent-over inventors, the
world belongs to youth.
They gather in the harvest of for
mer hard working generations like
bunch of flowers, without a "thank
you" and remark sagely, What a
musty old place-well improve It'll"
And they dol
They learn all we have OF teach
them and say, There's more to it
than that-we1l soon fix i'll" And
they dol
They say that our duty is to the
young. 1t is, of course, for they are
the future.
But things hurt us older ones IN
spite of all moralizing.

criticise her?
At her age used to visit an aunt.
She must have been 40, but to me
she was Methuselah's mother. I
was away most of the day. Tennis,
driving, picnics and what-not. Her
house was a place for meals and

hoary old globe changes hands every

Advice commonly given TO young

their financial future. Save your
money when you're young, so you'll

Not often are they told something
equally important. This advice
would be, Cultivate and cherish
the friends you make in youth and
middle life. Some day their COM
panionship, their understanding
friendship will be valuable to you
as pearls"
In this changing world, a lot OF
things unaccountably seem to slip

Money especially has this getaway
characteristic. Friendship, one of

When we're young, we only half

LiUing Life
ofOw,nLs
Possible?
BY ALLENE SUMNER

Just what does it mean tc live
ones "own life," and does anybody
in the entire world live his or her
"own life" in the sense that we
usually mean the expression?
I know the story Ruth Edwards,
the girl with the artistic talent who
was forced to sacrifice her own am
billions and support two aged par
ents. I use the hackneyed express
sion Of 'living other peoples lives
not her own"
The story Of Ruth Edwards
brought me this interesting and very
apt letter:
"That expression living ones own
life always irritates me, for I am
so sure that the person who lives
the fullest life of her own is the
one who recognizes the truth that
living ones own life is accepting
every duty and responsibility that
comes to one.
"An old - fashioned, unpopular
viewpoint I know, but one which I
advocate not with any, belief that
virtue is its own reward, but be-
cause I believe that human beings
cannot be happy if they reject the
normal thing as the abnormal, and
in looking for the normal, find only
the abnormal.
Burden on Women
an be clearer. Women, I believe,
more than men, are supposedly to
live lives not their own We are
always talking about daughters, who
weighed down by the responsibility
of parents or younger brothers or
sisters or this thing and that thing,
must remain at home, working for
dependents when they long to be
out in the world living lives of their
own
"These lives are supposed to con-
sist of doing a job Of their own
choosing rather than one imposed
upon them by necessity, such as
housework or nursing, perhaps.
1.-THE modern feminist pities the
stay-at-home wife, who might be
living her ovu life instead of
drudging for otner peoples lives. In
some cases the wife herself loses
sight of the truth that the richest
life and the one she really wants is
this very life ii living other peo-
pies lives
II suppose I am merely trying to
say what was once expressed in
words to the effect that he who
would find his life must lose it.
Few Escape
"After all. the very nature of life
itself calls for living other peoples
lives and making such living our
own life. How many people can you
name who have escaped? If it isn't
one responsibility, it's another.
Some one has an invalid wife or
husband, another one has aged par
ents, another is struggling to keep
sick brother or sister in sanitar-
ium, another has a feeble-minded
child, another has dependent aunts
or uncles, another is bound to this
or that
'TThose who accept their burdens
as eccentricities and live their lives
in rebellion never live lives of their
own Those who accept them and
make them their life, find that they
are indeed living lives of their own
please forgive this preachy letter
from an old woman who has lived
long enough and fully enough to
know whereof she speaks"
