Simple Addition

Anticipation time used to be any.
thing but time to anticipate. A
girl retired to the privacy Of her
home and led an almost clustered
life because 1t wasn't considered
decorous to flaunt her condition. /"
And we can't say we blamed her.
The clothes she had to wear GER
tainly made it all as plain as If she
had worn a sign, II am about to
have -" In a word, they made
1t easier for her to be decorous than
decorative.
Today it's quite different. If you're
expecting baby, you simply add a
few well-chosen clothes to your
wardrobe, go about your business or
your housework, do your war chores
until the last minute, and, in gen.
eral. act as If you had absolutely
nothing to do with the rising birth
rate. That's fine. We're all in IA
gor OF a business as usual attitude
You look better and feel better
for it.
We're also In favor of the new
clothes that make normal living DOS

few garments go long way, helping
you to save your pennies so you can
greet the newcomer with a War
bond.
Lucky for you, fall fashions play
right into your hand. The clothes
that are good for you are just the
clothes that are good fashion for
everybody. From a fashion stand
point, one Of the best buys Is a
suit. In the first place, if you're
the kind Of person who normally
lives IN suits, you'll want to continue
wearing suits because your ward
robe is geared to them dots of
olouses. etc. and because any other
KIND OF dress would probably be a
dead give-away.
Furthermore, a suit will give you
the 1943 neat, trim look. And. best
OF all, you can ring so many changes
on suit that you can actually get
by with a suit and one other dress

with a pretty hat or flowers in her
hair. In most cases, you know, ma

the last three or four months.
A jumper is an equally good fash
ion bet for you-and jumpers are a

SO unsophisticated they are taking
their first railroad journey, going
unchaperoned to visit boys in camps.
Tens of thousands of girls have
married boys whose names they
scarcely knew because they wanted
the excitement of furlough we'd
ding. And the number of illegiti-
mate children who are being born
is astronomical and heart-breaking
If only the girls who were born in
the gutter had gone back to the
gutter under the generalization of
war hysteria, we would not wonder,
but such Is not the case. Innumer-
able girls who were born in good
homes, who have Christian parents,
who have had every advantage of
education and association, have
gone wild, and they are going to be
the great tragedy of the war. And
many family is going to bemoan
the fate of a daughter more than
they do the fate of a son who was
killed in action.
These girls are not to be blamed
so much as their mothers who
should look after them and protect
them in this time of danger, and
who are not doing 1t. The girls are

Calling Sets
Clergyman
Apart
By Emily Post

This letter, in reply to my column
of the other day, explains itself:
II am very puzzled by your state
ment that a clergyman Is correctly
called Mr.. Blank by his wife. Will
you please explain what you meant
by this when your book says plainly
that 1t is incorrect for a husband
and wife to speak of each other as
"Mr." and Mrs" to either personal
friends or social acquaintances?"
The reason for this exception Is
because a clergyman Is really set
apart from the rest of us by reason
OF his cloth. People go to him for
counsel in the most intimate prob
lens, the deepest doubts and ankle
ties in their lives. 1t Is fitting.
therefore, that he be thought of as
The Reverend Mr.. Blank" or PAS
tor Blank" and not as Mrs. Blank S
husband. That he is, of course
Henry" to his intimate friends and
so called by his wife when talking
with them. is another angle of the
subject.

War No Excuse for Lowering Standards

Dear Miss Dix: I am one of the
worried mothers of 1913. I brought
up two children happily and sue
cessfully who are married satisfac-
torily and established in their own
homes, so know my methods of
child culture are not all wrong. At
least they were not in the past.
However, have third daughter,
now 10, who is a junior in college,
and am frankly worried about the
pace she Is living and the tempta-
tons to which she is subjected.
Colleges start their dances at 10
and they last until 3. Girl students
are allowed so many 2-o'clock "a m
excuses week. Girls are permitted
In the boys rooms unchaperoned.
At parties nothing but highballs
and cocktails are served. Chastity
is outmoded. Every boy expects his
date to kiss him goodnight, and
usually it is a prolonged embrace
Soldiers plead give us a good time
because we are going away to be
shot,"
Girls go without girdles and stock
ings and wear a minimum of clothes.
They all pet, tell Jokes and listen to
risque stories at night clubs.
My daughter is pretty, vivacious
and smart. but she is getting hard
and sophisticated and reckless. Her
old sweethearts are all away in the
service and she is just amusing her
self playing at love, drinking to be
sociable, kissing because it is the
custom. tremble for her and all
the girls of this day.
A DISTRACTED MOTHER.
Answer-And we'll you may. The
most curious and ironic thing about
this war is that while it is saving
the boys Of our country, it is having
most disastrous effect on many of
the girls. In the Army the boys
have been given the discipline that
they needed and that many of them
had never had from their weak and
indulgent parents. They have been
taught obedience and self-control
They have been inspired by an ideal
of sacrifice and devotion. They
have been made to realize that there
is something better to do in life
than spending it in drinking and
carousing and driving fast cars;
that there are principles that are
worth fighting for and dying for.
But the war has let down the
bars for girls, and while there are
many of them who are still fine and
true to all of the traditions of what
is best in womanhood, there are
many more who have made the
break for freedom that has been
made easy for them. They have
seen all the old inhibitions swept
away. Girls, even those who belong
to decent families, have been per-
mitted to go and come as they
pleased and be out at all times OF
the night, with no questions asked
by their parents, and there is no
disputing that this has had disas-
trous effect upon their morale.
All the conventions that have
governed the conduct of young girls
have been swept overheard. It is
common sight to see girls, barely
in their teens, parading the streets
with soldiers and sailors they have
picked up and with whom they are
going God knows where. Every
railroad train has its quota of girls,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-08-03

ing to want clean wives, decent
wives, not the little playgirls who
have dragged their skirts through
the mud of the streets.
1t is a pity that the girls do not
realize this and keep faith with
themselves and with the men who
have gone to the front.
