PAGE 6 BLOUSE BESTOWS SOFTNESS AND GRACE ON ENSEMBLE Gayety Note Is Given to Severe Suit BY JEAN PATOU Wrfttrn for NEA Service PARIS, Jan. 15—1 lon* have noted that women do not appreciate the Important part the blouse plays in their dress. Neither do they seem to realize how much grace and soft ness it confers upon the whole en semble. Yet the blouse is by far the most feminine of all garments and if women only realized this they would see that the blouse occupied Its proper place in their wardrobe. Variety is one of the chief assets In the domain of the blouse, as in everything that depends on lingerie work for its decorative effects. Tourh Must Be Subtle Present styles, however, condone the slightest, hint of exaggeration in any par* of the toilet, so the lingerie touch must necessarily be fcubtle. The use of elaborate lingerie work is confined to vests and collar and cuffs as a complement to a tailored, simple morning dress. A blouse, on the other hand, is called upon to bring a note of gay ety to a severe tailored suit, a touch of color to a dark afternoon en semble and sometimes even a glit tering touch to a dressy, formal afternoon ensemble. I do not, care for exaggerated frivolity in blouses. Fine lingerie work should be confined to acces sories, but the merest hint of it is sufficient in a blouse. Incrustation work and perfect fit are the ideal combination in a good looking blouse. The lame blouse, entirely set aside for very formal afternoon suits or ensembles, is used in such cases to form a striking contrast with the dark fabric invariably used for such clothes. A lame blouse would be absolutely out of place if worn with an in formal woolen fabric costume, but combined, as it usually is, with satin or velvet in any very somber color, it is essentially smart. This is also true of the dressy blouse of shiny satin. Worn with tweeds it would look quite wrong. Crepe De Chine Blouses On the other hand, crepe de chine, fine wool jersey and any other informal material blend admirably with sports clothes. There are now two very distinct ways of wearing a blouse. With a morning ensemble or suit. It is fashion’s latest dictate to wear it tucked into the skirt. There is, however, a decided air of informality in this style and one that can not be allowed in an after noon ensemble. That is why all afternoon blouses are shown over the skirt and in variably long at that. In some models, they form a snugly-fitting tunic, buttoning all the way down. Qx ° / *f C' YnTEKP£ET3 V /fIjeMODE PARIS. Jan. 15. 1 J OVELY ladies have de-! manded more elegance in; their gowns, and been given; more elegance in their gowns, i And, do you know something?. This elegance in clothing pos itively demands elegance to support it—carriage, gesture, even tilts of the head can ex-; press elegance or the lack of it so painfully. If your mind doesn't lend Itself to elegance, then you may be sure that the new modes will not become you. It should be instinctive for all wom en to adapt themselves to the kind of garment they are wearing—l said instinctive, and that means unaf fectedly. To put your hands in your pock- ENTERTAIN BEFORE GREER WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. Norman Metzger, <045 North Meridian street, will entertain tonight with a small din ner party at their home before the Greer-Munk wedding.

Shady Talk of Marriage Is Debasing BY MARTHA LEE Broad-mindedness is a noble thing as long as it is as high as it is broad. But when it flattens itself until it is the thickness of a restaur ant pancake, it often is more in jurious to the sensibilities than such a pancake is to the digestion. I suppose insinuating remarks and shady innuendos always have been tossed off indiscrete tongues. But somehow the moderns seem to lack the good sense to know just where such things will be received with the laugh they are expected to get, and where they will be so offensive as to be jarring. One hears such things on the stage constantly. One reads them on the screen. But when it comes to hearing them from friends, and at intimate social gatherings, it does get a bit thick. Bad Taste There still are people whose ideals and thoughts are keyed quite a bit above the sewer type of wit. These people are not prudes, either. They merely are conscious of the fact that there are things in life that are not particularly good subjects for jokes. To them it is just awfully bad taste. A young married man, who has been particularly harassed, has written to see if something can’t be done about the growing habit. Dear Miss Lee—l have been married about three months to a lovely girl. Dur ing our engagement and previous to It, we ran around with a young married crowd, most of them school chums of ours. They are fine people for the most, part, and I always have admired them and en joyed being with them. But since we got back from our honey moon we have been busy getting our home straightened and furniture bought and haven’t had much time to be running around. Conversation Shocking Several weeks ago we went out with them. I expected to have a few re marks passed, but the conversation was absolutely shocking. Since then we have been around with several other groups of people, and It has been the same thing. I suppose It Is meant to “kid” us, but it Is just about more than I can stand. I am not writing for advice, only to say how degrading such a conversation can be and how cheapening. I don’t see how those women could love their hus bands for making light of marriage the way they do. And how the men can have any respect for wives who speak in such terms is utterly beyond my imaginings. BENEDICT. If more men would express them selves so upon this subject, there would be less of it to contend with. The only thing I am sorry for is that you did not express yourself a little more forcibly, by “popping” on the nose the first man who passed remarks of this kind. Os course it would have broken up the little gathering, but also it would have made a deep impression upon all the others present. Respect for Sex Hearing things of this sort from men is debasing enough. But to hear them from women, whose forte in life is marriage, is too much to stand. If women do not maintain a high order of respect for sex as it is practiced in marriage, who in the whole world will? If women contribute to the cheap ening of what should be maintained on a high level of idealism, by list ening to ribald jokes, how can they anticipate respect and fidelity and honorable treatment from their husbands? And if they contribute to the extent of telling such stories and repeating such remarks, they are tearing down all the walls of protection that have been built around them for centuries. It is not broad-minded to listen to such things. It is feeble-minded. It is not being a “good' sport” to sit back and allow people to say such things in the presence of someone whom you have a right to protect and whom you know objects strenu ously to remarks of this nature. I hope you never become "initiated” into the society that condones such conversations.

Dr. Albjeig said in part, “Even though former Ambassador Haugh ton encourages us by saying ‘The world is becoming astonishingly safe for loose talk—that is one of the luxuries of security,’ nevertheless the rest of the world is awe-stricken and terrified as they realize the strategic position which Great Britain and the United States hold today. “Together, they rule, directly or indirectly, nearly half the earth; they control the seas; they com mand the bulk of the credit, raw materials and industrial capacity of civilized life. Since we have more points of contact with Great Britain than with any foreign powder, Anglo- American relations offer a max imum of possibilities for friction as well as good will.” She gave an analysis of the vari ous factors which contribute to the hostility and also to the friendliness between the two countries. She dealt with the economic competition and naval rivalry as they exist to day between the two nations. Dr. Albjeig is an instructor in history at Purdue university and is the author of several magazine ar ticles. The meeting was in the form of a tea, with Miss Ruth S. Milligan, chairman of hostesses.
