In grandma's time the girls who
were the most popular with men were
the ones who were smart enough to
hide how smart they were; who sat
at mems feet and looked up at them
as If they were oracles and the staple
Of whose conversation was "how wise
and witty and wonderful you are"
The women wisecrackers and show-offs
and intellectual heavyweights don't
make hit with men now any more
than they did in the past.
H* xt
A ND there Is modesty, reserve and
reverence for their own bodies
that used to be charms that women
conjured with, but that they have
thrown into the discard now because
they think that men have lost their
taste for them. Maybe 50; maybe
men like to see girls going around
dressed in pants and shorts and with
less clothes on than a picked jaybird;
maybe they like girls who will let any
man paw them and who will get drunk
with them. I wouldn't know But if
they do, how come there has been
such slump in marriage?
They say that mems ideal of wom-
en- has changed so much that they
no longer demand chastity in the
girls they marry. They say they call
what We used to know as good" girl
old-fashioned, and that they consider
that a woman has just as much right
to SOW her wild oats as a man has.
They say men have got broad-minded
about women, but all the men I have
ever known were only broad-minded
about other mems wives. They wanted
their own to be like Caesars wife,
above reproach.
So wonder if mems taste in women
has altered much, after all, and if
what they crave isn't still Just the
eternal feminine virtues of sweetness
and gentleness, tenderness and good
ness. DOROTHY DIX,

1t as long as possible.
Nevertheless, Easter remains the
peak of the spring season. 1t pune
tuates the weeks and divides them
into the time when we cast our winter
clothes into the discard, and assemble
new wardrobe, looking toward the
increased social activity that always
occurs after the Lenten season. Easter
gives us definite date to work up to,
and furnishes an excellent alibi for
needing all sorts of lovely new things.
The Easter bonnet is, of course, an
absolute necessity, and it is on this
subject especially that We have some
thing to say. Last week We had a
visitor in town representing one of the
Oldest houses in the hat business. She
brought with her collection Of smart,
wearable hats, and among them some
right out of the work rooms, as fresh
as a newly Matched Easter chick.
Perfectly stunning among these was
group of very Wide-brimmed straWs
and pastel felts which are going to be
tremendously popular when the
weather gets little warmer.
X X X
STRANGE to say, these hats were
blocked with both high and low
crowns to suit different tastes in this
matter Of height. In fact, it is un-
usual to find so many types of crowns
being worn in the same season and all
considered good style.
One of the most picturesque of the
pastel felts was in aqua blue with high
crown banded in soft folds of chiffon

7 AVE mems taste in women
~ changed? Do they fall for
an entirely different line Of
= - attractions in girls now from
the kind that Stayed them in the
Victorian and pre-Victorian days?
Girls believe so and think grand
mothers charms and virtues are as
outmoded as her clothes. Probably
men are Of the same opinion, but 1t
is significant that young women now
adays have fewer beauX and receive
fewer attentions from men than they
did in the past and they find 1T more
difficult to get married. Old maids
used to be a rarity. Now they are a
superfluity. So if I were a young
huntress starting out on the man chase
l should stick pretty close to the
methods with which grandma used to
bring 'em back alive.
OF course, naturally, in a changing
world men have made many altera-
tions in their ideal woman, but they
haven't scrapped her and set up an
entirely different goddess in her place
who has none of the earmarks of her
predecessor. She still has the main
features and they still bow the knee
to her more than they realize and
the modern girl suspects.
THERE was an era, for instance,
when semi-invalidism appealed to
the masculine heart, and the best bet
in a girls bag of tricks was to lie on
q couch and sWoon artistically. That
is definitely out now. No man wants
to marry a woman in these days of
high-priced specialists who looks like
a doctors bill. He wants girl who
is all muscle, even if she is skinny,
and who can pull her weight IN the
boat and who is never afflicted with
megrims, real or imaginary.
But all the same the clinging vine
is still with us and getting in her
deadly work. Men are still sharpen
ing little Miss Helpless lead pencils
Strengthening out her accounts for her
and marrying her because she can't
take care of herself. For, while they
admire efficiency in women, it is the
one who makes them feel that they
are about feet high and as strong
as Joe Louis and as wise as Solomon
who gets them.
Men think they admire intelligence
in women nowadays. They think they
want educated, cultivated women who
can meet them on their own plane
and discuss business, politics, litera-
ture and world trends. etc, and girls
toll like beavers trying to measure
up to the masculine standard. But it
is perfectly discouraging to find out
how little college degree does to get
them dates. 1t is not the blue stock
ings who have to cut their dances into
mincemeat. 1t is the little nitWits
in chiffon rose whose brains are in
their heels instead of their heads.

"REAUTY," in the opinion of Vina
Bovy. whose voice has enchanted
so many, lis more often an art than
a gift. Few women are born with great
natural beauty. but many really plain
women pass as enchantresses, giving
the illusion of beauty because they
know how to make the most Of their
good points.
Clothes play an important part
:" and Miss Bovy feels that one
reason European women are famous
for their chic is because they drama
tie themselves and only select the
styles that are becoming to their par
ticular type of beauty. No woman
should wear style that is unbecoming
to her no matter how fashionable it is.
Miss Bovy does not believe in using
a lot of creams to prevent lines and
wrinkles. She says: Il think there is
nothing better for ones eyes than
to give them a complete rest several
times a day If 1 am not at home
where can lie down and rest, I relax
completely and shut my eyes for about
five minutes. This sounds too simple

By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: In our small
high school it has never been
customary for the graduates to wear
gowns. Will you tell us what you
think is prettiest for the girls in the
class to wear on this occasion, and
do YOU still think that dark suits are
best for the boys.
AnsWer-I think dark blue suits are
much the best for the boys. and I
think white dresses are much the
prettiest for the girls. Moreover, I
think it is also important to the ef-
feet of the picture that the girls de-
eide to wear dresses that are more
or less alike in texture and type, and
that they all wear white shoes and the
same color stockings. By having
dresses more or less tina same do
not mean as alike as those worn by
the bridesmaids in wedding; but
merely that either they should all be
white tailormade dresses of everyday
length or else white ankle-length
party dresses.

DEAR MRS. POST: My husband
has inherited a very valuable
diamond ring from an uncle, but he
feels that this will be too conspicuous
to wear. The stones are very large,
and mys husband very conservative.
Do men of taste wear such rings or
do they only wear dark stones or sig
net rings?
Answer-Men of really conservative
taste do not like diamonds unless
they are sunk in gypsy hook; so
that the setting is very large and the
edge of the stones buried in the gold.
But large diamonds plainly displayed
would not be in good taste. 1t is also
important to note that men of best
taste wear their rings on their little
fingers, never on their third.

campers, who said yesterday their

perched on an ice base only 100 by

storms from their original floe.
The Northern Sea Route, government
bureau in charge Of Arctic explora-
tion, declined to say whether word
had been received from the campers
today.
Carries Three Planes.
The Taimyr carried three planes
lashed to her decks to prevent wash
ing away in storms. One was a sea-
plane taken in hope it might be able
to alight alongside the campers ice
block if the others failed to md 4
landing place.
The small Soviet steamer Murma-
nets, near the campers foe, was
under orders to go to the rescue and
report her position every six hours.
DR.. Otto ]. Schmidt, leader of the
expedition which planted the camp
near the North Pole eight months ago,
was to leave for Greenland waters
aboard another ice-breaker, the Yer
max, within two or three days. He
was directing rescue operations.
Three Months Food Left.
Ivan Papanin, leader of the camp,
radioed yesterday there was three
months food supply on the ice block.
The position then given was 72.4l
north, 4.08 west, about 300 miles of
the east coast of Greenland and 1900
miles from the North Pole.
Wind was driving the foe south

mated it soon would enter currents
flowing toward Jan Mayen Island,
just above the 10th parallel. Around
Jan Mayen is open water with pieces
OF floating ice, and it was believed
the ice-breakers might be able to
reach the campers there. Otherwise
Jan Mayen was expected to become a
base for rescue planes.
Papanin reported all instruments
and records containing the, fruits of
the quartet's long vigil through the
Polar night were safe.

RELIEF UNCHANGED.
AS HOUSE PASSES.
D. c. BUDGET BILL.
Measure Sent to Senate
With Increase Denied for
Assistance Item.
APPROPRIATIONS TOTAL
is SET AT $45,076,522
Elimination of $765, 900 Fund for
Street Lights Is Major Cut
in Measure.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The House passed the 1899 Dis
trict appropriation bill this afternoon
after refusing for the second time to
add $l,OO0,000 to the unemployment
relief fund. The measure went to the
Senate with the original 5000, 900 pub
lie assistance item intact.
Passage of the bill, already delayed
two days by parliamentary tactics,
came after defeat Of q motion by Rep
resentative Dirksen, Republican, Of
Illinois to recommit the measure to
the Appropriations Committee with
instructions to increase the relief fund
to sl,9OO,0O0.
The Dirksen motion was crushed by
q 283-to-54 vote.
Calls for S45,o76,52z.
As it went to the Senate, the bill
calls for appropriations totaling $45.-
O76,522, net decrease of $3.50, 800 in
the amount recommended by the Ap-
preparations Committee. The major
cut came with elimination of a $685.
600 item for street lighting, which the
Senate Is expected to restore.
Against this reduction, several in
creases were made to the bill in the
House. These included two special
$1,000 appropriations, one to finance
a complete" investigation Of the ad-
ministration of unemployment relief,
and the other for employment of an
expert to analyze various plans sug-
gested for reorganizing the municipal
government in the interests of ef-
hciency and economy.
Tax Diversion Seen.
The House removed the street light
ing item as the result of the conten-
ton Of Representative Nichols, Demo-
crat. of Oklahoma that the commit
tees proposal to saddle the street
lighting expense on motorists would
constitute diversion of the gasoline
tax fund and force the District to
lose about $750.000 in Federal high
way aid.
Mr.. Dirksen fought vainly on the
hoor of the House two days ago to
have the relief fund raised to $780,
600. Despite charges of mass starva-
ton" in Washington resulting from
insufficient relief funds. the House
voted down his amendment for 4
100000 increase.
