On Social 1CLnsses'

1t has been said that all
societies give expression to
the good and the bad in
human nature. Sundays Star
will bear that out. In This
Week" Abraham Lincoln's
words to live by were quoted:
I'm times like the present.
men should utter nothing for
which they would not will
ingly be responsible through
time and in eternity" No
words could be better applied
than today by American
journalists in expressing the
American way Of life while
the American Government is
spending millions to show
that the American way is
the best way.
In the same paper the fea-
ture writer of the women's
section. Betty Beale, writes a
frivolous, irresponsible, and
stupid article on the WASH
ington social scene, each
word of which would make
an Americans blood come
to a slow simmer if she were
not aware that society COL
umniStS are VIGOROUSLY SUI
perflcial in their approach,
and in this instance, actually
asinine. Such events as de-
picted on these pages can
be very colorful to the people
who have no active part in
the functions described by a
good journalist, but an article
Of the type as that of SUM-
days has no place in polite"
society.
In the first place, what
talents does Betty Beale pos
sess to undertake a division
of our society into upper"
and lower" classes? 1t is
diSillusioning to think that
Washington society of off,
Gals carries on a conversa-
ton of such intellectual level
that the word Grapes" or
"draperies" would have any
Importance. What's wrong
by detecting from a persons
accent what part of the
country he is from? Is one
part better than the other, if
so, which-Park Avenue? Has
Betty Beale ever heard that
the United States had an in
dustrial revolution when she
speaks of "the manor born"
or of across the tracks?
One generation may have
been from across the tracks
and the next living among
the treasures purchased from
a defunct czarist dynasty.
I wonder how Betty Beale
would stack up" thorrible
Words in conversation
among the intellectual Sci
entific group who we're in
vited to Washington by the
President a number of days
ago? Do you suppose they
would think she didn't be-
long to cultured society?
Or most likely their minds
are not haunted by such
ideas. Her article would GER
tainly make good copy by
those too ready to criticize
our "society"-in contrast to
the millions spent to sell"
it abroad.
Social History Student.
Editors Note-Miss Beale
was not trying to divide any
body into upper and lower
classes. She was trying,
without intended offense, to
describe existing differences
in the behavior patterns of
certain groups. Incidentally.
Miss Beale's own non-U
(non-uppercrust) slip was
showing: Several readers
wrote to complain about her
use of the term evening
gown" Seems those who
know about such things call
IL evening dress.")
