Absence Not
So Good As
LOUe Agent
BY MARTHA LEE

Time-honored tradition has 1t
that absence makes the heart grow
fonder." Perhaps tradition IS right,
but as in so many concrete cases,
only theoretical and not practically.
When two who love each other are
separated for any great length OF
time there sure are to be changes
in both.
Together, they grow and develop
along the same lines; they cult1-
yate the same tastes: they have
mutual friends; because of mutual
agreement, they become very COM
panionable. Not that the person.
atty of either is submerged in that
of the other, or that the stronger
of the two characters takes the
initiative; merely that through love
and understanding there is a CO.
relation of ideas and ideals.
New Friends Appear
Separated, enter the new friends.
They become q part OF ones lie
not shared by the absent one. Both
parties must adapt themselves to
the changed conditions or new sur
oundings, and here it is that the
change starts.
Because of the different atn1os-
phere, life assumes new aspects.
Stereotyped views are altered and
changed to fit the present environ
ment. Soon, one looks back and
sneers at what used to seem i'm
portant: one narvels at the 1gnor-
ance that in the old days seemed
profound knowledge. A new set OF
stereotyped ideas has come into be-
ing.
OF course, as in every case. this
is not an iron-clad rule OF proceed
ure. Perhaps absence does make
the heart grow fonder, but what
about the contradictory proverb,
"Out of sight, out of mind?
Any girl or boy is taking chance
on losing a sweetheart, If they are
separated for any length of time,
and more power to the girl or boy
that can keep sweetheart, sepa-
rated by very many miles.
Dear Martha Iee-I have been going
with a boy for nearly four years. nave
written him during that period. for ne
has been away at college. He spent most
of his vacations with me.
Went Away to Work
Last June. he was graduated from school
and went to Chicago to work. have not
seen him since July and the last time 1
heard from him. he had waited three
months to answer my letter. Since that
time have written him twice. and Just
received a letter from him. He gave no
reason for not writing.
Now that I have heard from him. what
would you advice me to do. Write him
and not notice his indifference. "bawl'
him out. or not write at all? 1 hate to
lose him because love him very much.
If you really want advice, don't
write him at all. I know that you
wouldn't follow advice of that sort
though, because as you say, you
''love him very much" so please do
this much.
Wait at least two weeks and then
don't mention his negligence. Try
and make your letter seem as normal
as though you had heard from him
the day before.
If only you could pique his curious
ity so that he would be puzzled by
your apparent Indifference, things
would assume brighter aspect. 1t
hurts to lose the one you love, but
there's not a lot you can do about
it, unless you swallow your pride and
take determined stand to get him
back.

MO house has used the new
~ jersey-tweeds and match
ing tweeds and jerseys with
happier effect than Jane Reg
ny-as one would expect, for
they are a sports wear fabric
par excellence. And even
Madame Regny has been
forced to bow to the high
waist line and longer skirt
though it must be said that
her collection has lost nothing
whatever in chic and charm
by it.
The waists are usually of sheer
jersey, tucked inside. The skirts are
circular or pleated, and mounted on
every variety of yoke. Most of the
skirts have small, simple belts of the
fabric or of soft leather such as
doeskin. The blouses usually have
plain shirt collar which buttons.
A number of simple little frockS
of tuslikasha, light wooden or crepe
de chine are shown, beautifully
worked in tuckS and nervureS. a
few charming dinner gowns of
chiffon are shown, and these also
are tucked and pleated intricately.
MANY of the ensembles have
IV1 fur-lined tweed coats, cut on
straight Lines and with straight
lines and with straight hens. Some
have belts, and button. One inter-
esting tweed coat has an inner vest
with a high collar. which buttons.
Several velvet afternoon suits are
shown, usually with the popular
half-length coat. One such model
in brown has the coat edged in
black fox fur along the hem, front,
collar and cuffs.
The skirt is straight, and the
blouse of peach satin has a turn
down collar. Another of black velvet
has a slightly circular skirt on a
yoke, an absolutely mannish JAG
quette and white satin waist.
A charming touch is the showing
of gloves, which have knots instead
of the usual stitched lines on the
back.
It's not only what you would
like to give him, but also it's
more or less a matter of what you
can afford to give him, and de-
cidedly a matter of what would
be in good taste, regardless of
what you can afford.
You see, we took everything into
consideration when we made the
illustrated leafiet of unusual
Christmas gifts for men, which
you may have for the mere send
ing a 2-cent stamp to the Dare
Department of The Times this
week. Don't you think you would
better send for it?
VXTHEN is a coat not just coat?
w When it is Bruyere, perhaps
If the one Illustrated for you to-
day is a sample.
Not just a coat, but an idea, you
see. Of course, it was of gray-green
wooden and was very simply made
with just the suspicion of an I'M
usual silhouette-but there was a
certain something to the way the
fur was handled that gave it its en-
tire chic, n'est-ce pas?

A COLONIAL PROGRAM.

A group of young artists presented
the first salon" program of the series
planned by the Misses Sutro at the
Carlton Hotel yesterday afternoon. The
music was all of the Colonial period and
quite charming. The one criticism would
be that there was such sameness in the
pastel quality Of this dainty music that
monotony threatened. Even so, it was
certainly an unusual program and eX-
ceedingly interesting from the point of
view of suggesting the type of music
that satisfied our ancestors of Revolu-
tionary days as compared with the
crashing diSsonances of the modern
composers and the jazz, which is the
musical fare of the average American
today. The particularly effective draw
ing-room setting of the lovely room that
is used for these afternoon programs
and the casual comfort of the scattered
groups of chairs about the room add
greatly to the pleasure of the audience
in the music presented.
Katherine Riggs. harpist, opened the
program with works by Haendel, Scar
latti and his majesty King Louis XIII.
The aforementioned is the composer Of
that delightful air "Amaryllis," which
the artist played with special charm
yesterday. Later "Rondo deS Songes,

Allen.

trial of Inspector w. S. Shelby and
Lieut.. E. j. Kelly, but first will pre-
sent his information, which he later
will give as testimony, at his joint talk
with Senator Cole Blease at the Audi
