feel that boys like her, that she is
popular and sought after and that
boys like her company as much as
she likes theirs.
Here is the point. And I don't
know how many cases it may be
applicable to, but I know it fits
some. A girl may be marvel
around other girls. She may be
sensible when it is the moment for
sensibility, gay when gaiety is ram
rant, witty and clever But the
minute she is in the company Of
boy whether it is ex-conSciousness,
Shyness or what, she goes completely
dumb. She is too anxious to make
an impression, too anxious to please,
too anxious to put herself over. And
that's fatal. The only way a girl
can ever be really attractive is to
be natural. And if she is boy shy
something should be done about it.
1t means that a girl has come to
set some special Importance to the
company of boy, through the talk
of her parents, who may have for
bidden her the privilege of having
dates; through a warped viewpoint
gained from things She has read,
or through the conversation OF other
girls.
A boy does not want to be treated
like strange somebody. He wants
to be treated as a friend, pleasant
companion. And that's where girls,
who are boy shy fall out.
I have a letter here from a girl
who is apparently suffering from
some sort of complex on the boy
question, that, from the letter, may
have been brought on by her par
ents' attitude in regard to her hav-
ing dates.
Dear Miss Lee: I am considered fairly
good looking, dress well and thought 1 90
In spite of this am not the least bit
popular with fellows and never have
/ am invited to a party soon and am
supposed to bring a boy triend; l 40 not
know many fellows and besides mother mo. f6
20 anywhere. She thinks 1t looks too
much like I am running after them. |
have explained the situation to her, but
she just will not agree and she has Just
about shamed me out of asking any one;
What is your opinion about my not
having dates and what would you 90
about the party2 UNPOPULAR.
Go to the party, my dear. Appar-
emily the hostess of the party has
asked all of the girls to invite their
own particular boy friends so that
she may be sure they will all have
good time. Ask some neighbor boy,
or some boy who has been particu-
larly nice to you at some time. If
you do not get out and mingle with
boys and girls your own age you will
become self conscious in their pres
ence. Your mother should be told
that all of the girls have been asked
to do this. Perhaps, since she hesi-
tates to allow you to ask some one,
she might do it for you, explaining
to the boy the arrangement of the
party

"And that" said Meredith Mich

beneath the very interesting por-
trait of himself, painted by Way
man Adams, which hangs in the
upper sanctum of Bobbs-Merrill
where Anne and Mary Rose hang
out, sis the story of how got my
doctor of laws degree. If only" he
grieyed, "some one would call me
doctor"
Anne always the perfect hostess,
promised she would. We were hav-
ing a dish of tea-yes, it is too,
dish--I just got through asking an
oxford graduate-in congenial at
mosphere, and Mrs. D. Lawrence
Chambers was finishing a delicious
story about Pavlowa.
1t seems that the last time Paw
Iowa was in Indianapolis Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Holliiay decided i'm
promptly to give a supper party for
her after the performance at the
University Club Mr.. and Mrs.
Chambers were among the guests
and Mrs. Chambers played the
piano for them all to dance. And
who should come waiting by doing
the one~step with glee and gusto,
but Arthur Grover and in his arms,
entering into the spirit of the oc-
casion with perfect charm and
Sophistication, nobody else but Paw
Iowa.

Modern Music" for members who
do not care to play bridge. Mrs.
Wolff has given this talk before a
number of clubs in Indianapolis and
it is my prediction that nobody will
play bridge, at least until after she
has finished. 1t is interesting
enough to compete even with con-

came back with the idea that as long
as it started out being a discussion
group and nothing was done or was
intended to be done but to clarity
ideas by conversation, the Talk and
Takers Club expressed the idea
wonderfully. Which is by way of
prefacing the remark that the Talk
and Takers Club will meet Mon
day evening at the Propylaeum with
Miss Josephine Cowgirl as hostess.
There will be a debate between
Edward Raub Jr. and John K.

Hesse Orders Report
On Police Trials for
Three Year Period

Aroused by the frequent arrest
of members of his force and recur-
ring reports of lawlessness on the
part of his policemen, Major Edwi.f
3. Hesse, superintendent of Police,
TODAY ordered a detailed analysis
OF the cases heard by the Police
Trial Board during the past three
years.
Major Hesse ordered his assist
ant. Inspector, William s. Shelby,
TO make the investigation and pre-
pare the analysis. He hopes to
find from the record whether the
police force is as bad generally as
it has been pictured. or whether
it is being discredited by a small
group of constant Violators, who
are kept on the force in spite OF
repeated offenses.
The police chief is admittedly Wor-
ried over the situation and tired of
hearing of cases in which his subor-
dinates have violated the law.
He has ordered Inspector Shelby
TO report each policeman's record
over the period beginning July J.,
1925, and ending June 30. 1928.
Available records show that eases
before the Police Trial Board are in
creasing much faster than the size
of the force. More than $50 cases
were heard by the board during the
12.month period ending i'm June.
More than 1000 cases have been
heard during the past three years.
The situation was brought to a
climax last week when in one day
four members of the force were en-
meshed in the tolls of the law on Sc
rious charges. ,.... -
