Smart Modes

Fashion Displays
Prove Original
And Lovely
BY HELEN VOGT.

Style show .scenes-the ramblings
Of fashion reporter:
That was a striking show Wood
ward & Lothrop's presented last
Thursday. Formal gowns, din
ner dresses and separate evening
skirts and blouses made up the coll
lection. . Particularly outstand-
ing was the use of bouffant modes
for ultra-formal occasions; slim,
slinky lines for dinner and less
formal gatherings.
No use denying that the gown Of
the evening is big hit at the
Shoreham on Thursday and Friday
evening". A formal from Nine.
Reiss modes held the one-minute
spotlight the other pm.
Also in the blue room was the
usual Saturday luncheon. Erie
bacher's collection included every
thing from stadium styles to Sun
day best" outfits. OF special
interest was the fact that this show
introduced an entire new group of
fashion mannequins. AL local
lovelies who have been trained
here.
1t was a gay afternoon down at
the Raleigh on Saturday, too. A
most unusual collection of original
gowns were designed and presented
by Gene Barnes and Celestine.
The mannequins attracted attention
there, too. All were the girls
for whom the clothes had been de-
signed. And, of course, there's
no forgetting Saltz Bros, whose
mems attire graced the gentlemen
modelling with the ladies. A
grand idea this, presenting fashions
for both men and women-its ap-
peal was evidenced by the number
OF interested masculine spectators.
We couldn't forget the Arthur
Murray dancers, whose exhibitions
did grand job of holding our in
terest between fashion groups. -.
Added applause goes to Gene Barnes
and Celestine for arranging one of
the most attractive press tables vet
to be seen. :. The mannequin CEN
terpiece was so pretty we wanted to
take it home. P. S.-We didn't.

or any right to any liberty or thought
or action.
Mother, for instance, would be
furious If anybody opened one Of
her letters because she knows that
all of the kick out of getting a let
ter is gone If somebody else has pried
into it and somebody elses eyes have
got the first glimpse of its news.
Father would raise the roof If any
body even dared to inquire what he
was going to do with any of his
money So would all of the sisters
and the cousins and the aunts. And
as for anybody sitting around listen
ing in on a telephone call. that Is
universally regarded as a breach Of
decent manners that calls for some
thing with boiling oil in it.
But nobody respects the rights to
privacy of the children in the fam
lily. Mother takes the gilt off of the
gingerbread of their letters by open
ing them. Father makes them give
an account of every nickel they have
spent. Everybody puts them through
the third degree about what they do
and what they said, and where they
have been Nobody shows them the
courtesy of knocking at their doors
before entering Mother and father
don't even regard their condolences
as sacred. but blab them out to make
a funny story. And If you want the
reason why boys and girls leave
home as soon as they can, you have
1t right there. They are answering
the human impulse that makes us all
crave privacy and a little freedom.
There is no crime that is committed
against the younger greater than
denying them privacy. That it Is
done in love doesn't palliate the
offense.
I am sorry for you, Alice, but I
know of no way to help you. Your
family will always think they have
the right to know all of your affairs
and that your soul should be like a
shallow drawer that you keep open
for their inspection. The people who
love us give us everything except the
thing we want most, and that is in
dividual freedom.

Dorothy Dix Says
Family Must Respect Individual
Freedom of Youngest Member

Dear Miss Dix: How can a girl
Of is acquire little individual lib
erty and privacy in her own home?
I have none My mail, for instance,
Is opened and read by every member
Of the family before I get it. Some
times it is even lost and all that I
ever know Of letter is that some
one will say: "Oh, Alice, So-and-So
said so-and-so in a letter for you
that came today" Not only is my
incoming mail read but my outgoing
mail also is read. Every letter
write must be read and approved by
every member of the family before
it can be sent. When I ask my
father for an allowance he says:
You don't need an allowance. When
you want money all you have to do
is to ask for it." Well, when I do,
must tell the whole family exactly
what want to do with every nickel.
Then they 60 into a huddle over it
and if it doesn't meet with the ap-
proval of every member Of the fam
lily the money is withheld and must
do without something that I am
dying for and that other girls whose
families are not so well of are al
lowed to have. Even my bedroom
isn't private. If I don't lock the
door any person who wishes barges
in to see what I am doing. If dare
lock the door father storms, grand
mother deplores and mother weeps
about the way I am trying to shut
her out of my life" I can't have
telephone call or make one that I
don't have to repeat word for word
to the assembled family. I can't
have any secrets that are dear to
every girl. If boy should call,
goodness knows what would happen.
I suppose they would get earphones
so every one could listen In. 1t isn't
that I am trying to hide anything
from my family. just want q little
privacy and do few things on my
own account, without having to tell
the family all about them. ALICE.
Answer-Family affection can be
the most beautiful thing on earth,
but it also can be the most grinding
tyranny on earth. And it is pa
thetic and tragical thing that chill
dren are so often the victims of it.
Such is the case of the poor, I'M
fortunate girl who writes this letter.
Evidently she is the youngest child
of large family, all of whom are
determined to mold her according
to their own ideas and impress their
own image upon her. And to none
of them has it occurred that she has

Never in Classroom,
Honor Roll Is Made

SALEM w. Va. July "a
-year-old Kathleen WADE
completed her second year of high
school the other day after partici-
pating in virtually all of the class
room discussions without being in
side the school building.
Kathleen, an invalid since 1888,
lives four blocks from Salem High
School. And through an inter-
system, with one
loud speaker in her room another
in the classrooms, she attended her
courses.
She made the school honor roll
and contributed materially, her
teachers said. to the class room
discussion.
-Four years ago the girl was the
victim of infantile paralysis. Now
with braces and crutches, she can
make her way about a little.
Physicians believed that she
should not do too much walking SO
the inter- communication system
was rugged up. BY the switch of a
lever, she can answer questions
which the teacher asks.

From South Dakota
Observations by H. B. Tysell in the
Marshall County Journal, Britton,
South Dakota:
1T was a wonderful trip, exceed
ing all expectations of the journal
publishers and of every other MEM
Der of the group. The cordial greet
ings and many courtesies extended
to us at every stop on the trip,
across the continent to Seattle, and
after reaching Alaska will live long
in our memory To the publishers,
the commercial clubs and civic or
ganiza tions, the transportation
companies and the individuals who
contributed to the pleasure of the
trip we owe a deep debt of graft
tude.
"On the trip to Alaska we had a
little first hand experience with la
Dor trouble. AS the ship was about
to leave the dock at Seward all the
stewards and cooks went on strike.
We don't believe a single individual
had a grievance but strike they did.
The local police settled the difficulty
very quickly after an hours delay.
All along the western coast industry
is hogtied by the labor unions. You
hear it on every hand. AS near as
we can figure out the only winners
in the strike game are the paid
organizers and trouble starter-up-
perS. The industries and the la
borers lose huge sums of money in
every strike and the public foots
the bill; has very little to say about
it."
