for the hard-boIed, bobbed-mannered happer?
Il think that the modern woman realizes
the priceless value of charm of femininity and
makes serious and perseyering Roadway toward
becoming cultivated she will be able to offer
the man she loves eompanionshp sympathy
and understanding sweetness and affection.
"A normal woman playing such role will be
happier, too, for it is more natural for a
woman to be herself than to be striving to be
an imitation of man. To cultivate her innate
femininity will satisfy her instinct for romance
and will at the same time fulfill mans ideal
of her.
Every man has an ideal He carries it with
him even through common affairs, through all
loneliness and disappointments. That is why
a woman will have the amount Of love that she
herself inspires She will have romance in the
proportion that she measures up to that ideal
which he carries with him."
Mrs. Post thought that happy result which
the return of femininity would accomplish
would be that the feminine type of woman who
IS not fitted by nature to be an athletic Amazon
would not be forced to become one merely to
be popular.
Such a woman, going in for all kinds of
sports for which she had no aptitude in order
not TO be left on the sdelines, will be able to
play a role in which she can be a star. The
feminine, graceful woman will perhaps come to
the fore again. At all events, the athletic, pal
type will have TO round out her appeal That
is If she wants to keep her enchanting sister
from monopolizing the affections of the men.
6TF you doubt tie allure Of the essentially
feminine notice the length of the box
Office line and the proportion and quality Of
the men in it when Greta Carlo and Marlene
Dietrich are playing. Both are Of the mys-
ferrous type. They enigmatical and fasci-
mating women who can give to love the glamour
of romance. Such women, are the type who
inspire artists, musicians and poets Certainly
no uith elo md har
hip flask could hardly have inspired great
works of art literature. Yet the feminine
woman, right throughout the ages, has always
helped to arouse the best and the highest
qualities in man. She made herself q shining
part of his life"
Mrs. Post laughingly commented ON the fact
that the new fasEaions are also proving to be
boon to the older woman. for she need no
longer look like figure of fun or q survivor OF
the Ark.

K to the Eternal FSminine in Dress

1.-THE older woman really had a terrible time
trying to adjust herself to the midway between
dowdiness and the flapper dresses. With her
skirts up to her knees and her one-piece frock
she provided the cartoonists with an endless
source Of material. II she wore her skirts long
and her dresses draped she looked dowdy.
Naturally when the older women were forced
to wear clothes that were made for girls OF 16.
they began to act like happerS. Women OF 40
and over fancied themselves youngsters again
and we were treated to the ridiculous spectacle
of bobbed haired happer grandmothers who
cavorted about at parties and night clubs and
who soon began to break into print. SUCH
women could hardly command the respect OF
their children and any consideration that their
age entitled them to was completely annihilated-
THE new fashions enable the older woman
to be smart and at the same time wear clothes
becoming to her age and dignity. personally
believe that when an older woman does not ape
the clothes and ways of young girl and re-
places youth with the depth and richness Of
maturity she has definite distinction and charm.
But when she gets out of the part which shs
should play and makes a pretense of youthful
ness she loses her attractiyeness"
While American women have never particu-
larry dressed to please the men, but rather
themselves, the new styles are very much liked
by the men, Mrs. Post pointed out.
European women" she said, "have always
realized that their clothes are important to men

them. They choose their clothes with an eye
to intriguing and captivating their sweetheartS.
woman will even persuade her husband ia
go with her TO review the collections of the
season and to advise her when she chooses her
wardrobe.
IT am certain" smiled Mrs. Post, that
woman never consulted the preferences of the
men when she made the graeeleSs, fiat, angular
figure her standard of feminine beauty. Nor
did she ask their opinion when she wore dresses
that were like feed sacks with holes in them.
To man she was about rs attractive as a clothes
rack
There is not the slightest doubt it seems ia
me- that with the new styles woman is again
following the impulse Of the eternal feminine.
which is ever the power TO charm, to win and
to hold the admiration Of man."

another boy She was not his complete ideal.
THE frank spirit Of comradeship among men
and women is a splendid thing but like every
thing else it can be carried too far It de-
stroyed the mysterious element that has ever
been all-feminine and charming.
Now there are indications that a different
type of woman viii develop who will be
more romantic and aluring, but one who at
the same time will be able, on proper occasion,
to be q comrade.
For example, during the day a girl will be a
comrade and friend the golf links the tennis
court or the beach. But in the evening she will
blossom forth as another creature Dressed in
a gown Of rlf1ies or lace she will play a COM
pleteIy feminine role. In this way she viii give
double variety and interest to life Romance

standing.
IS A LTHOUGH the pendulum has already
started to swing away from curtness
toward more graciousness, it Is to be hoped that
will never go back to the old-fashioned
manners and etiquette Of our grandmothers Tt
would be trying to return to such formalities
as Mrs. Friendly presents her compliments and
bsgs that Mrs. Neighbcr take a dish of tea
with her Or to return to the routine OF life
spent in leaving visiting cards upon ones entire
visiting list. One of the admirable character
istics of the modern generation is that it has
no liberation for such superficialitieS and
insinoerity
However, the leaders of the younger genera
ton already have begun to establish higher
standard OF morality. The hard-boled fapper
with her Haunted claim to indifference has had
her day. Even she lost interest in her own
intent TO shock when confronted with the
petting parties Of her own imitators. So now
these leaders, taking the new fashions for key
note Of their Interpretation, turn back to the
eternal feminine.
you will find that the women who have been
most loved ia the world are those like Nine
Recamier Lady Hamilton and Ninon de Lenelos
They were not only supremely feminine, but
Eernininely superfine. They were admired for
their wit and conversation for their generosity
and charm They made study of men and
knew how to awaken their interest. They could

Couples Ordered.

RALEIGH, N c., August 15.-Re-
ports that widespread "petting party
racket" is being operated IN North
Carolina brought an appeal from As
sistant Attorney General A. A. F. Sea-
we'll today for simultaneous grand jury
investigations of magistrate courts
throughout the State.
Mr.. Seawell said many magistrates
had set up what he called 'rackets" by
"raiding petting couples and bringing
them into court to pay costs through
coercion and without trial"
He said the ''petting party racket
has taken the place of the once famous
speed traps"
Every grand jury in North Carolina's
100 counties should start an inVestiga-
ton into these Offices" Seawell asserted,
suggesting the inquiries be conducted
simultaneously as much as possible in
order to reflect the proper Statewide
attention.

am really grateful that Donahue
was spared long enough to finish
Letters of a Hoofer to His Ma"
which has Just been published by
Cosmopolitan Book Corporation.
Donahue has caught the gorgeous
pathos and comedy behind the foot
lights as experienced by. ''hoofer'
who graduated from the one hour
stands Of the smallest vaudeville in
the east.
These imaginary letters Of Jack to
his Ma" whom he loving addressed
as Dear Mud" and Dear Mopsy.'
Oh, there is glorious comedy Of
life interviewer in these letters. The
mother" in these letters is the type
who worries about her son taking
of his long winter underwear in
the year 1910 and is frightened to
see that her son is taking on swell
airs.
In one letter, Jack writes that he
has bought a cane and is sporting it
in public. Mother writes in an
swer: Your father says for you
to get nd of that cane before you
come home. He'd never hear the
end of it at the navy yard"
And when Jack spent $3.50 for a
bathing sue, the mother wrote in
horror, I'VE don't see how one
bathing suit could cost you $3.50
unless as your father says it has a
lot Of lace on it,"
The Best Of ALI
The best one Of all is when Jack
writes his mother about mistaking
a female impersonator on the same
bill with him Tor lady. Jack made
date with "her" before the per-
former had removed his wig
But Jack recites that he did take
the guy out for coffee and dough-
nuts after the show.
Jack writes, Hes only a kid and
very artistic. You should see some
of the scarfs and handkerchiefs he
makes for his friends
Mother writes back, 81 never
heard of real man making hand
kerchiefs although your fathers
brother Neil did used to do a little
fancy needlework when he was on
the fire department in Bayonne,
and there was an excuse Tor him,
with all the time on his hands"

cried when read this one when
his mother writes for money from
her son because father had been on
a spree.
Mother writes, please remember
that it costs almost as much to
sober your father up as to get him
drunk and I must have something
from you this week"

NATIONS HEADS
REFUSE LISTING
IN PHONE BOOK
Only Close Friends Know
Numbers of Higher
Officials.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The ma
tionai capital is filed with persons
who know many secrets, including
the telephone girls.
Among the secrets which the
telephone girls know are the pri-
vate numbers Of high officials-and
they won't tell you.
There are more private telephone
numbers here than in any other city
In the world.
The practice extended from the
Cabinet and now one senator, the
very wealthy Senator David Aiken
Reed Of Pennsylvania, has a private
number for his luxurious new home
in the S street neighborhood where
the Hoovers used TO live, where
many other officials now live, and
where are the homes once occupied
by Woodrow Wilson, William How
ard Taft and Senator Robert NJ
La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Numbers Changed Often
If you drop in town some night
End want to talk to your favorite
cabinet officer, you'd better just go
around camp in front of his house
in the first place, for most of them
are not listed in the phone book.
II you had some farm problem
and wanted to talk with Secretary
Of Agriculture Hyde, yoS could get
him on the telephone, because he
lives in hotel
Former Secretary of Labor Davis
could be reached over the tele-
phone, as can his successor, William
n. Doak, who lives over in Virginia.
So can Secretary of Navy Adams
and Postmaster General Brown.
But there's no use in looking In
the phone book for Secretary Of
State Stirnson, or Secretary of War
Hurley, or Attorney General
Mitchell, or Secretary of Treasury
Mellon-and the information girl
won't help you any
These high officials retire only to
be called by few close friends
when they leave their Offices and
go home at night
And the numbers are changed
occasionally to be doubly sure
President Not Listed
The city telephone directory is no
help either to find out who is
President of the United States-if
you didn't happen to know.
Herbert Hoover's name is not in
the telephone book.
The only Hoover you can get by
calling the White House is q head
usher by that name, unless you have
special official business and can
prove that you have.
In that case, you can reach MIR.
Herbert Hoover through the main
White House switchboard, that is,
you may reach him.
The Vice-President is not sur
rounded with so much ceremony.
Charles Curtis is listed along with
the Browns, the Joneses and the
Smiths.
You can't much blame these
people who won't have their phones
listed. They'd be sitting by the tele-
phone most of the time.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes is listed in the telephone
directory. He wasn't though when
he was secretary Of state.
