Copyright, 1922, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co, EN love to tell you that you are vain—that you are dressing to attract them. Are you? They say you want admiration and that you will’go to any lengths to get it. ‘They tell me that every ribbon you tie around your rfeck, every feather you wear upon your hat is worn for them. They call me an idealist when I fell them it is not so, A man told me that his stenog- rapher studied his tastes and always dressed so that his eye would be satisfied. I looked wonderingly at him, I ventured that‘maybe she just fancies those clothes on her own 4c- count. But no, he assured me, it was not so, She was catering to him every minute of the time, He liked it. He gloried in it and I thought to myself that the young lady was a wise woman, but I still don’t believe for an instant that the girl ever gave him a passing thought. I should like 4o know her and find out just for tho sake of argument, In all probability she was as in- mocent as the day was long, She never even dreamed that pe had de- cided tastes about his ‘employees’ dresses. And, in all probability, he would have liked her clothes if they had been exactly of the opposite type. Now f contend that the average girl dresses for business as well as for pleas because her sense of beauty is so much more potent a thing than it is with the average man, She dies if she is not sur- rounded by a setting which delights her own eye. She must express her own idea of what is beautiful if she is to have any peace out of life, and her clothes are the handiest and most ever present medium for her opera- tions in this respect, A MAN'S IDEA OF COLOR. I was a stenographer once myself, and I wore a bright red sweater. I rather fancied myself in it. I didn’t affect It merely because the window, wide opyn—the man wore thick tweeds—sent a cold shaft of air down the middle of my back. I liked the giow of the red around me. It made the typewriting seem a warmer proposition to my harrowed soul—or at least I thought it did. Can you imagine my feeltngs when my stern employer said one chilly morning (you know the mornings aro usually chilly for a stenographer), ‘‘} don t like your sweater!"” “‘What don’t you like about it?” I managed to ask. “1 dislike its color.’* Now I was cheered by vivid colors. And besides I had black hair, Dimly I saw through the surrounding haze that while he was the guardian of my salary, which did not cover sub- tle colorings in sweaters, he really was not privileged to censor the colors of my woollen wrappings. So I arose, meekly, I will admit, to protect myself and murmured: 1 can't afford another one this year.’* Of course I might have removed it and have frozen solid where I sat. But that didn’t appeal to my sense of beauty either. And what would [ ever do if I were fired for the crass colorings of my tastes? Soon my problem was solved for me when he brought me, for a pres- ent, a violet sweater, more nearly in harmony with his tone preferences. 1 wore it for the sake of the envelope at the end of the week and the 15 vent lunches that kept life in my hody, but I did not like it. And I suppose he told the world that I dressed to please him. DRESSES—A BEAUTY EXPRES- No, T still insist that girls dress wholly to satisfy themselves and to cater to that inward sense of beauty which they posses to such a great de- if the men like it, well and So much more pleasure from 2 expression. But if they don’t like it, the gicls are just as happy. And, after all, don’t the men appre- ciate pretty much what we educate them to like? I hope that none of them will be indelicate enough to read this, One reason why girls enjoy reading the fashion columns it that they are gaining their education in the ways of beauty. They learn what is be- coming—what makes a good design. ‘hey try the experiment and find at they are happy with the result, ‘Then they look to the printed col- umns for more suggestions and more balm for their souls, Did you ever notice that the girl who makes her own clothes, or some of them, is often a greater lover of dress than the girl who buys all of vers? That is because she has a double sensation of beauty—one in the making and one in the wearing. \nd, when she admires herself, sho s not always vain. In fact very cldom is she so, She is taking satis- faction from a beautiful effect—from i? appearance that 1s good to the eye. She likes it and is it any wonder that all who look upon her like it too? The pleasing of the men (vanity call It) is a st ondary consider- on with well dresse T con nd, Only the girls themselves ove this. I know some hundreds them, I have studied them and I ng to my conclusion. Rut, per- +ps if you were all absolutely honest nm could prove quite the contrary me, as #0 many men have tried to do. IS JEALOUSY A FACTOR? ‘hey tell me that every girl likes to ss better than the girl nearest to r. They say that is what makes r mortgage her soul to wear pretty rocks. They insinuate thi she is a ealous cat. T say that” she never thinks about her neighbor's: clothes— that she is concentrated upon devel- oping ler own sense of beauty. I know, of course, th a girl purchases is pre lusy dress, It caunot be that this begause Some man said, in passin, “How pretty you look to-day, dear.” G!\s have more sense than that, havn't they? A) young wife burst fort in a new hat one day lately. Her husband said: “T hate thet hat!" Did she stop wear- infl it? Not at all. She kept right on because she was not working in the dark and she knew she was right. One day later, when the hat was spotted with raindrops and mashed with much weather abuse, the same husband relieved himself of the fol- lowing line: “I like that hat.” She was wise, 80 she merely smiled, and he went on to deliver his soul by adding: “Why don't you always wear hats like that?” Little did he guess that, with the coming season, his sense of beauty was to be forced to take another step along with that of his wife. He was doomed for a further education in the matter of esthetics, Just W 0's >’s Who = In These & Families « Odd Marriages Raise Queer Problems in Relationship Sobre strange things have been brought before the public's notice recently: “Woman to Wed Her Son-i And these aro only a few of the strange marital records which are listed in marriage bureaus. ‘The reader who likes to tackle rood stiff problems will find infinite enjoy- ment in trying to unravel the relations which will develop from these mar- riages. Here are the facts: Charles Osborne of Charleston, W. Va., married Minerva Osborne, his second cousin. Her brother, Mc- Kinley Osborne, married his second cousin, Clara May Osborne, who is the daughter of Charlies. Charles, you will notice, married Minerva. Now the resulting questions are: What relationship now exists between Charles and McKinley? Between Min- erva and Clara? Just suppose the couples should have children, would the children’s parents be their third cousins? If not, why? We'll start you off. What you can’t firure out can be left to Edison, By this marriage, it would seem that Charles Osborne becomes the brother-in-law of McKinley Osborne. But ts he not also father-in-law to McKinley Osborne, since the latter married his daughter? When is a brother-in-law a father-in-law? Here is another problem: When can a girl be her own grand- mother’s sister? It seems that in Paris there is a Miss Catherine Malfatti, who has just married her own great-uncle. It is now calculated that by this marriage Catherine becomes the sister-in-law of her own grandmother, who is still alive. Inasmuch as the bride ts only twenty-four years old now, further complications are foreseen in coming generations. Figure it out! This is a funny problem: A man married his own mother-in-law. George Bider, forty-four years old, of Cedar Rapids, Ia., a father of six chil- dren, obtained a divorce from his wife and later was married to his mother- in-law, Mrs, Julia Davis, forty-eight years old. By this marriage Bider becomes the stepfather of nis divorced wife and the grandfather of his own children, And this ‘complication can be re- versed. Mrs. Sarah Wright McDan- nold has just married her son-in-law. George Uthe. If they have any chil- dren, a child born of a union of its mother's husband and mother would * softened throughout, be his own brother or sister.
