WOMAN’S PAGE. Some Soft, Becoming Touches BY MARY ‘We are only to realize the mmmu— of 1 new fashions. We hecome so accustomed to the rather stark severity of the fashions that prevailed for the decade following the war that vantage of the opportunities offered by the new more feminine, more ornate fashions, There are all sorts'of - ing collars and cuffs and scarfs and frills and vestees to be had with which we may add a soft, becoming touch to our , and by which we can vary the appearance of a single dress from day to day. mf%hy the yard may be used to make and collars of surprising charm, and now there is ruching!

Actually ruches of a less pre- tentious sort have been used at in- tervals ever since the reign of Eliza- beth. Many of us remember the ruch- ings that were once regarded as an indispensable finish for the choker col- lars that were worn before the war. The present ruchings are much more comfortable and, as we think now, much more becoming. Usually they are applied to & V-neck dress. Really the only difference between a frill and a ruching is that the frills are wider and are arranged to fall over the collar, while the ruchings stand up at the back ::mdufm inward at the front of the n e. .

The Taylor-Dempsey household has been threatened by ru- mors of disruption from time to time | these several years, and sometimes not without reason. There would seem to be 10 more definite idea of trouble now than there has ever been, and intimate friends insist that neither has ever contemplated divorce seriously.

The audience which filed out of Para- mount's grevin of Murnau's exquisite film, “Tabu,” was strangely silent. The picture, last made by the famous direc- tor who met & tragic death near Santa Barbara a short time back, is stark tragedy. It ends on the keynote of death, and the man who made it met death tragically just after the plaudits of motion picture producers rang in his cars. ‘The story is a South Sea idyl of un- forgetable beauty. It is camera quality of the finest—story sculpture done by an understanding soul. It is steeped in the ageless beauty of living and touched by the terrible beauty of death. ‘The critics who saw it filed out in silence. The picture had been made 50 sympathetically that a showing of it under different circumstances might have similarly affected them. But as it was, “Tabu” might have been a re- quiem for Pred Murnau, & man whom most of the colony knew for an artist of first quality, a friend of great worth and an apostle of camera beauty with sound minus dialogue, something he | achieved most successtully in “Tabu.” It is made with an entire native cast. They became his friends in the making, and it was Murnau’s idea when his visit in Germany with his mother had ended to return to this island paradise, to the home he had made there during the two years he had spent making “Tabu.” (Copyright, 1831. by North American News- paper Alliance.) DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. JU!T @ few minutes after Dwight Morrow h: ' been sworn in as a member of the United States Senate last December he was summoned from the chamber by an eager group of newspaper men. The diminutive, gray - haired New Jersey Senator greeted them with & smile, “Gentlemen.” he said, “I will listen will say nothing.” ‘To what extent he meant that statement probably Morrow himself did not know at the time. But that he has kept silent through 8 whole term of Congress, in a body famous for its uacity, is remarkable. ot once has he opened his mouth in the “>uate since he took his seat, except to answer a roll call. From his | seat in the last row on tne Republican | side, next to his friend and instructor | in things parliamentary, Goldsborough | of Maryland, he has sat for three months and listened. Gossip has it that he almost broke his silence on the bonus bill, but thought better cf it. Others will tell you that Morrow wants his first speeth to be on prohibition, enunciating his plan for repeal of the eighteenth amendment and return of liquor control | to the States, 1 thought conditions in | the Seventy-first session not favorable. Prohibition might take on a different aspect in the next Congress, they say, and if it does watch the New Jersey Senator. Morrow pernaps will then have much to say on his reform doc- trine. Almost every one expected him to be | drawn into the maelstrom of Senate | debate sooner or later during the ses- sion. The last three months of the Congress were tumultuous ones. | Other freshman Senators \.ere not | silent. North Carolina. Almost from the start | his voice was heard, as were some of the others, | But not Morrow. “Here," “Yes" and “No” were the only words he uttered | publicly. d Nor was his silence the only thing that merked Lis first term as a Senator. Even mor. unusual was the fact that he did not introcuce a single bill. When a,proached for support of pri- | vate legislation, such as every Senator finds that he can't escape, Morrow would refer everything to his ¢ "'~ague, Sena- | tor Kean, New Jerscy senior Senator. ‘The man seemed determined to pursue & hands-off policy in that period from December to March. Not that he has merely drifted along, taking little interest in Senate business. Far from it. Those who know him say that nothing has come before the Sen- ate with which he has not familiarized himself. And they predict freely that the C.venty-second Congress will hear him often. Some say that Morrow's decision to ghy the silent role is probably because e regarded these past three months as tie unexpired portion of the term of Valter E. Edge, now Ambassador to France. From now on he will be work- ing “In his own time.” -—— Cottage Pudding.

C, ~#-~ | DorothyDix HE modern girl,” said a shrewd, elderly woman the other day, “knows & lot of things that her grandmother didn't know, but she doesn’t know & hundredth part about handling men grandma knew. She is terribly so- El.xlmuud, but she hasn’t found out the secret of getting dates that grandma d at her fingers' ends. She has her college B. A. degree, but she isn’t nearly #s certain of getting to be a ma as grandmother was. “When I see how hard the girls have to work nowadays to attract men and how they have to struggle and strain and humiliate themselves to get a few attentions from boys, 1 am sorry for the poor things. Actually I could weep with pity when I hear pretty young girls at the telephone calling up boys who never call them up, suj ting places to and offering the use of their cars, reproaching youths with not having been to see them, and the girl's voice is 50 pleading, 0 anxious and so triumphant if she finally succeeds in wangling some poor liitle cake-eater or some drug store cowboy into condescending to drop ‘round to her house or take her out to the movies. “Look how the boys treat the girls. Like dirt under their feet. No gal- lantry. No chivalry. Half the time when a young man invites a girl to go out with ‘him he doesn't even take the trouble to go and fetch her. He asks her to meet him some place that is convenient to him, and she is so tickled at having a date at all that she meekly trots down to the theater or the restaurant or wherever he designates. Aad when he comes to take her out in his car he doesn't even make the gesture of politeness of entering her home and aski for her and of assisting her into the car. He merely sits on the back of his neck and honks the horn until she joyously runs out and climbs in herself. “I tell you that the Grand Pasha who threw the handkerchief to the pal- pitating ladies of his harem and let them scramble, for it had nothing in arro- gance on the modern young man. “Saddest of all, the girls of today have to do all the love-making apparently. At least I notice that when I see a spooning young couple in an automobile it is always the girl who has snuggled down as closely as she can get to the man and it is the girl who has her arm around the man and is gazing up adoringly into his face, while he is sitting up as unresponsive as a graven image, with an expression on his countenance that proclaims to the world that he is bored to death by all ti manifestation of affection, but that he really doesn't blame the poor thing for feeling that way about him. He is so fascinating she can't help it. “Now I wonder why all this is thus. Why has the modern girl lost out with men? Why does she have to toil so hard to get a few dates? Why is she less popular with men than we older women werc when we were girls? Certainly our daughters and our mnddnushurl are just as good-looking as we were, they are much better educated have had far more advantages than we had and so should be more interesting. And certainly there are just as many young men in the world as there ever were. Finds Her Not So Attractive to Men “ “Yet we had trains of young men trotting after us. We had beaux galore. We never lacked for an escort anywhere and most of us had half a dpzen or more genuine bona fide proposals of marriage. Yet we didn't make a hundredth part of the effort to get dates that the modern girl does and we would have sat at home and sucked our thumbs forever before we would have badgered a young man into taking us anywhere. The initiative had to come from him.” “T think that is the explanation of the whole mystery,” said another woman. “It is because the mods girl runs after men that they run away from her. Men are born hunters and as long as women were aloof and hard to get it roummmmtotmehmmmmd‘g:lmmmmmwk But now, when girls openly stalk them down, game consists in taking to cover pture. The difference in the attitude of men toward women in our day and now is the difference between shooting a bird on the wing and knocking over a barnyard fowl that is eating out of your hand. “Another difficulty the modern ‘lrl has to contend with is that men know her too well. In our cay men cheris] hed a lot of romantic illusions about girls. They didn’t see us at closc c and so we could ke:g‘up a pose about being angels and helpless and all that sort of thing, but modern girl can't do that when she works side by side with a boy every day and may beats him at golf or tennis. “More than that, when girls went into business and became ?d.l and act that leminine society precious and sought fellow workers with men they lost men as t lovers. It was the women were different from men that made after by men, but now when Is strive to make themselves into imitation men and to dress and act and talk likke men they have lost a lot of allure. They are more like little kid brothers than lady lovers. “Perhaps the chief reason why the boys show girls fewer attentions now than they used to do is because they have found out that if they won't run after the girls, the girls will run after them, and so they sit back on their necks and let Mary do it." o R DOROTHY DIX.
