Love’'s Awakening By Adele Showing What Finesse Is Required to Finish an Ordinary Shopping Tour 1 did not have to wait but fraction of a minute for the answer to my mental query concerning Lil- lian'’s knowledge of her young daughter’s subterfuge. And, indecd, it was absurd of me to have asked it, 1 told myself, when 1 knew ‘o well the keenness of my old frigad’s .

I've never known you to be s0 uncertain before. 1 think you need to have your mother decide for you, don't you?” Her voice had softened and there was a smile on her lips as she fin- ished. That has been Lillian’s way of disciplining her daughter since her infancy, a swift," effectual “smacking” mental or physical, and then an equally quick forgiveness and smile, making it easy for the child to capitulate. Marion is naturally a most docile daughter and her love for her mother approaches idolatry. I guessed that her conscience was making itself heard. At any rate, she returned her mother's smile with a reluctant “I guess that's what I need,” adding a comment, however, which I mentally echoed. “But how we're ever going to do it all in an hour, I don't sec. ‘T do,” her mother said briskly, taking out a pad and pencil—we were sitting in the shoe department while a somewhat exhausted sales- woman hovered near, ‘Tell me, of those suits we saw upstairs, most nearly suited you? o'clock, last the | Also | The Heart Story of a Steadfast Woman Garrison i “That three-piece silk and i wood brown with the cmbroider Marrion promptly “Are there any alternations to be made on it that can't do home " “No, it will just ~1|rH ned a bit” ‘And that I prefer under my own ey . mented, with a grin twitching in the corners of her mouth. “All right, you go up to that department, that suit on once more to be sure the right size and order it sent out to the faurm.

But husbands are taken on faith,” she complained. “When I started this work years |ago I was shocked to hear a woman say she married her husband after three weeks' acquaintance. Now it is nothing to hear a blonde waitress admit she waited on ‘a good looking guy’ at lunch and married him that same night. They heard each other's names the first time when the justice of the peace pronounced them man and wife. “The public schools at least could teach girls to give as much time and attention to deciding on their hu; bands as it takes them, say, to pick a hat, “Schools concentrate on every known subject under the sun but the most important thing in a woman's hfe—marriage.

D, From the Sar- bonne In Paris. Paris, Aug. 16 (—To win the de- |gree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Paris is considered quite an achievement for a woman. The degree has just been award- ed with the highest honors to Miss Anna Heydecker, of the romance langugge department of Coe Col- lege, lTowa. The subject of Miss Heydecker's thesis was ‘Jean Amos Comenius, his life and educational work.” The professors to whom it was submit- ted considered it of great import- ance in French research. Asked why she selected Comeni- us as the subject, Miss Heydecker explained that he was faced in the seventeenth century with post war problems similar to those which confront the world of education to- day. Miss Heydecker believes Americans should be impressed with the importance of learning foreign languages. She herself has mastered five, English, French, Ger- man, Itailan and Spanish. She taught languages at Beaver and ‘Westminster colleges in Pennsyl- vania before going to Coe. “Cooperation cannot fail to ex- ist between nations that under- stand one another’s language,” she says. “The knowledge of foreign languages is essential in the pro- motion of good feeling between peo- ples. that WINTER NIGHTIES The night necked gown, in filmy fine ninon and georgette, is the mode for winter.
