WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
Femininity Rules the Mode for Springtime

ATEW YORK, Feb. l7.-Just what
L ' is meant when We call fashion
feminine? Well-one way of an
swering that is to explain what is
not meant.
Feminine, as applied to spring
1881 fashions, does not mean fussy
and frilly and fluttery. 1t does not
mean coquettish.
. It does mean softness, daintiness
and the sort of details you associ-
ate with the work Of women dress
makers instead of men tailors.
One manifestation Of the fash
ion for femininity is the use Of fine
handwork on costumes. Fagotting,
hand-tacking, lace inserts, hand
crocheted trimming, hand-rolled
hens, hand embroiderery and seal
Looping.
Not a whole lot of it on a single
costume. but enough to give that
touch of daintiness.
Necklines Are Soft
we've had illustrated two exam
pies of this use Of handwork in the
sketches with this articles blouse
with fagotted-on jabot and dress
trimmed with crocheted edging.
You've noticed. of course, how
soft necklines are looking. And
that's another evidence Of the fash
ion for fenlininity.
Cowl drapingS zone is sketched),
all kinds Of scarfs, ruffled collars
and ruchings-they're all fashion,
able and all feminine.
Lingerie trimming is one of the
most feminine of all details. And
you find it-all sorts of soft batistes,
organizes and laces-used on collars
and cuffs, such as the lace collar

Every
Day
Sense

I'm a letter to his favorite news
l. paper, a reader in Birming-
ham, Ala, submits this wornout
idea:
IF the women we're kept at
home, where God intended them
to stay, and would make good
homes for their men, the men
would appreciate them"
That's highly debatable ques-
ton. The fact is that men
never have appreciated women as
much as they do now, when we're
running a little wild.
The main reason women are
out of the home in such droves
is because their old-fashioned man
forced them out by his high
handed dominance.
He talked loudly about the joys
Of home and the goodness. of
women who made them, but he
never stayed there when he could
go somewhere else, and he made
tracks for the light ladies at
every opportunity.
His appreciation of the home
was, mostly oratorical. And his
idea of perfect wife was some
one who cooked the food he liked
and obeyed his orders.
TO-DAY the men seem vastly
Il concerned because women
are not showing the proper re-
gard for domestic life. 1t is for
men to remedy this condition.
They've made us what We are to-
day.
Whenever they show a strong
desire to stay at home, We'll be
there, too. Dawn Powell, clever
young novelist, insists that hus-
bands are running back to the
flreside. If that's true, we may
be sure the women will not be
far behind. It's no fun cabareting
around nights without a man.
This generation of husbands is
by far the most unfortunate the
world has seen. They are the link
between the ancient and the mod
ern order. Reared in the old, they
must adjust themselves to living
under the new. And that's hard.
It's time, however, that sensible
men should. cease regarding wives
as they do automobiles. You can
park a car and expect it to stay
put. But wives are different.

Supreme Court Approval Is
Given Educational
Segregation.

Segregation of Negro and white
pupils in indiana schools was up
held today by the state supreme
court, ruling in the Gary case which
led to a strike of Emerson high
school pupils more than three years
ago.
In an opinion written by Judge
Walter E. Treanor, the court upheld
William Writ, superintendent Of
Gary schools and member of the
state board of education.
Ill December, 1927, Writ was the
target of mandate suit filed by
Richard Cheeks. Gary Negro, in be-
half of Alberta Cheeks, who had
entered Emerson high school.
Shortly after her entrance, pupils
struck. On Wirt's orders she was
directed to attend another school in
Gary which had a two-year high
school course. After that she was
to have gone to Froebel high school.
The mandate suit. filed in Porter
circuit court, charged discrimina-
ton, and set out that the girl was
deprived of privileges, including
athletic facilities.
In his opinion, Treanor said the
athletic side of school life was non
essential and the girl had not suf-
fered from lack of educational in
struction or facilities.
He quoted an 1877 Indiana statute,
setting out that color can be con-
sidered as a qualification for guild
ance of school authorities in es-

IN STATEHOUSE
CLEANING JOB
$28,775 Paid for Outside

Concerns Didn't Have
Equipment

Frank G. Caylor, statehouse GUS
todian who engineered the $4,000
statehouse cleaning job without ad-
vertising for bids, admitted today
that more than a year ago he had
verbal estimates on the outside
cleaning job as low as $4,000.
This estimate was for cleaning
the outside only, he said, for which
the company now doing the work
is receiving $28,775.
"But I didn't believe the Indian
apoliS companies giving me such
figures had the equipment to do the
job, so I didn't invite them to bid, :"
Caylor explained.
He later admitted that the Gin
cinnati Building Cleaning Company,
which has the contract, is doing the
work with rented equipment.
It was learned by The Times that
an offer for the outside cleaning as
low as $500 was made more than
a year and half ago, when oper-
ating costs were far higher than
now.
Caylor said he did ask Walter Cox
and Edward Dux to figure on the
job. Dux made the Cincinnati
