Etiquette Problems in Wartime

An airmail letter from three
"noncoms" at Camp x says:
won't you please write some
thing to all Of those devoted
mothers-bless 'em!-who, when
they get the good news that their
son Cor daughter) is coming
home on furlough, rush around
to all the neighbors as we'll as all
the members of the family, prac-
tically signing the furlough
away? Generously they promise:
III send Johnny over to see you
as soon as he gets here!' Or
Mary's visit will be very short
but I know she'll want to see
you! And to those who propose
giving a little party for Mary on
Tuesday, or that Johnny come to
supper on Wednesday, or any
other suggestion for no matter
when, mother has no idea how to
say MOI"
In reply to this, I would say
that the first don't" which the
family Or every man or girl in
the service should keep in mind,
is: Don't make any definite en-
gagements for them that they
have not asked you to make!
Remember to leave them free to

Great Aunt Chattse or old Mrs.

house. Here again there Is delay

John standing first on one foot
and then on the other as he talks
at length, and John politely
makes the same replies that he
has made q dozen times before.
And all the while they are miss
ing the first half Of the game
or the picture, or IN any case
spending many minutes all too
quickly speeding to the furlough's
end
This sounds perhaps as though
John and Mary had no love for
friends or family at home-which
is not true-and the question Of
when and where they can best
see their dearest relatives is one
to be thoughtfully considered.
The typical answer "at the fam
lily dinner table" is quite perfect
II this means the everyday table
at home. But If 1t means that
John, whose comradeship with
both Of his grandparents is very
close, is going to be able to see
them only once, big family din
ner party is not as good a choice
as might be supposed. Even If
seated beside him, grandfather
being occupied most of the time
with carving, can hardly give at
tention to what John has to say.

Short Suit Story y :
By Evelyn Hayes.

The grounding to the con-
trary notwithstanding, we think
springs In the air. You can feel
1t In the wind and hear 1t in
the remarks Of the fair sex who
are already talking >>of spring
clothes and Easter.
Being good public-spirited citi-
zens, we know you won't buy new
clothes If you don't need them.
Buff you're down to your last
threadbare little number-or If
you're looking for ideas to refur-
bish last springs creations,
maybe you can find an idea or
two herewith.
Suits-and the Suit Look, shine
brightly in the spring, 1914, pic
ture. We know, you've been hear
ing suits and more suits for
years-but these are different.
To be sure, your tailored suits are
still good-indeed, will always be
good (well, almost alwaysD-
because a classic tailored suit Is
practically dateless.
However, for this particular
spring, it's the suit with the short
Jacket that is outstanding, es-
pecially If it's collarless.
Jackets make most Of the news
and It's the minimum jacket
that packs the maximum fashion
punch. Many are so short that
they barely cover the hipbone,
and ripple gently in little pep
lums that flare front oriand
back. Then there are boleros,
those spring. blooming perennials.
They're especially good right now
because they tend to minimize
waist and hips-no small item in
a day when skirts are pared to
uncompromising slimness. We
saw a honey Of gray wool bo-
lero suit the other day with
chartreuse polka-dotted dickey
and matching sleeve frill "a won-
derful effect for giving you a
feeling Of beautiful, tapering,
lly-white hands,.
One of the newest and smartest
Of the short jackets dips In front
to suggest waistcoat, making for
a silhouette that is at once most
feminine and form -fitting-good
for the sleek-figured contingent,
bad for our broad-beamed pals.
One of the smartest of these is a
black and white striped waistcoat
suit, fastened with shiny silver
ball buttons. A surprise note is
the matching silver button on the
waistband of the fly-front tucked
skirt, on which the jacket but
tons. If you like a suit to have
knife-like precision, this is IT
and yet it has feInininity, too, as
does any molded-to-the figure
costume. A close cousin to the

do what they please. and do your
best to seem pleased with what
ever this may be. The most prac-
tical help you can give is to see
that they are not interfered
with by time-wasting persons or
circumstances.
For example, even when Mrs.
Kindly has come on purpose to
see Mary, it is up to her mother
to help her keep her own engage
ment by simply saying, I'VE hate
to have you go, Mary, but you'll
be late if you don't hurry!" If
Mary hesitantly fingers her
mother says again. Really. you
must go!' Mary then goes and
Mrs. Kindly does not feel that
Mary did not care to stay.
1t should, by the way, be
noted that it is never necessary
to explain where Mary is going.
Evening star., 1944-02-06

waistcoat-but kinder to the aver
age f1gure-is the very new jacket
fashioned after mans cutaway.
A good example of this is in navy
blue with a short jacket that
curves gently away from the hips.
The jacket and skirt both button
with small buttons all the way
down the front, creating one slim,
lovely vertical line.
Skirts are pencil-slim affairs,
for the most part, with news in
buttons which sometimes march
right up the skirt from neck to
waist, sometimes only button a
fake placket. We love these for
their nice divided-in-tw effect
on the girth of a gal. There's a
black-and-White checked wool
bolero suit with button-front
skirt that couldn't be nicer. Not
only is 1t easy to look at, but it's
easy to get into. The suit comes
with a white frilled blouse, but
the skirt would be a knockout
worn solo with a black blouse.
The new suits play colors
against each other in a way
that's both pretty and wearable.
A bright pink collarless jacket,
for example, has an inch-wide
T-shape navy insert that rs its
way up the front OF the jacket
and across the chest. This is one
of the longer jackets-probably
rs inches long-and It's gently
shirred in at the waist. Another
pretty color effect is achieved in
a spring violet spongy wool suit
Gall shades OF violet are good this
springD with a slim skirt girdled
with coral.
Remember, then, that the news
is suits-cut short and collarless.
And these are the outfits you can
wear right now under your coat
and then on and on and on.

Dorothy Dix
SAYS

The most potent influence in
the world today over young girls
is the moving picture. 1t is their
Bible, their Emily Post; it is the
laws and the commandments
about their morals and their
manners and their general con-
duct and appearance.
OF course, every teen-ager Is
necessarily a copycat. She has
no knowledge of life or expert
ence to guide her, so she has to
form herself upon some one whom
she sets up as an ideal. In for
mer days this paragon was
mother, or Joan of Arc, or Flor
ence Nightingale, or Frances
Willard, and Sweet Sixteen
dreamed about being like them
and having a houseful of beau
tiful, blue-eyed, golden-haired
children, or being a ministering
angel, or working great reforms,
and generally uplifting the world.
But not now. There isn't lit
tie sub-deb who doesn't turn up
her nose at mothers opinions,
nor is there any girl-child who
Graves to emulate the great
women who adorn the pages of
history, but who, she thinks,
must have been awful frumps
and had slow time Of it, having
Just one husband, or maybe no
husband at all, and doing things
In which there was no pep.
The women at whose shrine
these youngsters worship are the
cinema stars. They are the ones
they want to be like. They are
the ones who set their pattern Il
life for them, and if you doubt
this for moment, just consider
the slavish obedience with which
they follow their screen idols.
Now, inasmuch as the silver
screen is forming the characters
of our girls, it seems a pity that
1t does not oftener hold up for
their imitation the kind of women
we wish them to be when they are
grownup-the woman who is
beautiful and glamorous and ad-
mired, yet who wears about her
a cloak of reserve and dignity and
modesty that she never drops.
In a word, we would like to
have it brought to our girls,
through the all-potent power OF
the cinema, that there Is a
beauty in righteousness that
transcends that of the flesh, and
that all of the old standardized
feminine virtues are still the
charms that are the most ap-
pealing to men.
Customs have changed, but not
the things that make women at
tractive to men. Femininity has
always been Women's lure, and
it always will be. Men will al
ways want to see women in fluffy
ruff1es insead of breeches. Cen
tleness, sympathy and kindness
are the qualities men admire
more in women than wisecrack-
ing, and every man wants a
woman who says her prayers and
believes in God and has stand
ards of right living that no one
can shake. And when men come
to marry, the flower they want to
pin in their buttonholes is a bud
with the dew on it. not one that
has been trampled in the mire of
the street.
Perhaps If our little Jills. could
be taught, that they are too
young to figure out for them
selves, how much more glamorous
modesty and reserve and purity
are in a girl than hoodlumism,
we would have more good little
girls and fewer bar flies.
And not so many mothers
would have to lie awake. at night
wondering where their daughters
are.
