Third Division of Christianity
Desired Adapted To
Oriental Mind
NEW YORK March 2 A Chris
tianized China, but a China nei
ther Protestant nor Catholic is the
ambition uppermost in the minds
of Chinese Christian leaders to
day, according to Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, feminist leader
and educator, who has made a
study of the religious aspects of
the recent session of the Institute
or Pacific Relations to which she
wag an American delegate.
A third great division of the
Christian religion, with its doc
trines and theology interpreted in
terms of Oriental psychology, is
the goal of the Chinese Christian,
according to Mra. Catt, who in the
March issue of Good Housekeep
ing magazine analyzes religious
discussions at the Institute ses
session. The division of missionary work
in China among foreign Catholics
and Protestants, and among the
many Protestant denomination
ot. only has proved a handicap to
Christianizing progress, bnt : H
confusing and dissatisfying to the
CMnese, Mrs. Catt says.
"The division of the Christian
faith into denominations has not
only proved a stumbling block all
the way along, but is now offering
a most astounding challenge to
the West." she asserts.
"The Chinese Christians, well
rersed in history, gently argue
that as Christianity has developed
many forms in accordance with
the country and leaders who have
lnterprete it. the Christianity of
North Europe being unlike that of
South Europe, yet not like that In
the United States, so. If left to
herself. China will work out her
own form of Christianity, which
may be quite different from all the
others, but will certainly be un
divided into denominations. Gently
the Chinese Christians impressed
upon the Institute's Round Table
the fact that they dreamed of a
Chinese Christian church utterly
free from the domination of any
other country.
Mrs. Catt cites the simple ex
ample offered by onr yomng-Co-
rean woman wno saia: "My friend
and I 1IT 1Q different provinces,
I am a Methodist and my friend is
a Presbyterian. We do not know
why this la to, but in my province
there are only Methodists and in
her there are only Presbyterians."

New Silhouette Brings
Subtle . Change to Mode
Dresses for spring offer so sizing the strong feminine trend
muc hin the way of variety that
one is almost bewildered in at
tempting to point out the most
significant changes that this sea
son has brought. The suggestion
of a natural waistline probably
leads in importance. It Is so long
since we have admitted to having
such things that the costume that
dares to emphasize It attracts im

pleats, uneven and longer hem
lines, whether we want them or
not, and fluttering flares and
scarves are milestones along the
way. to & completely feminized

new prints are both large and
small, but mostly small all-over
floral designs, slightly grayed or

Ensemble Ieads for Sports j
In e porta costume, the two
piece combination leads. Some
times it is the regulation two
piece costume with pleated skirt
and Jumper, sometimes with the
cardigan Jacket as substitute for
the Jumper, and again where the
cardigan appears in connection
with the Jumper making it a three
piece ensemble. And again it
takes on a fourth partner in the
shape of a top coat. LeLong, of
Paris. U probably responsible for
the four piece ensemble. He de
signed it ao that milady might be
dressed both for the shopping trip
to town, and for the golf links at
the same time. Jersey, kasha and
silk are more used for the sports
costume than anything else.
Sometime we see the sheer wool
shot with metal threads in the
Jumper or natural biege over a
pleated silk of satin 6kirt. but
more frequently for the Palm
Beach wear we see the combina
tion of two silks, one printed, one
plain, in these simple two piece
sports frocks. One very effective
printed silk, while the Jumper
design had the skirt of pleated
was of one-tone crepe with cres
cent shaped insets of the printed
silk by way of trim. The Jumper
had one side longer than tnr
other following the trend towarc'
irregularities in neck, hemline and
hat brim. Another very pretty
model reversed this order in a
Jtrmpe of printed silk In an Indian
design over a one-tone skirt of the
crepe. The Jumper here was sur
plice cut, belted and slightly
bloused, with one pocket at the
right Just below the belt, and an
other at the left Just below the
bust. The blouse was trimmed
with a zig-zag edging of silk in a
one-tone matching the darkest
tone in the design, and the trim
ming was repeated in the skirt
wltlv a band of the same set a few
inches above the hemline.
These are Just two examples of
the feminine trend, or the greater
feminine trend, getting gently
away from the straight pencil sil
houette, and reflected in the little
feminine touches even in our
sports forcks even carry a sash
passed through slits In the Jump
er at about the normal waistline,
and tied in a bok at the side.
Sash Theme Used In Many Ways
The saah, by the way. has ever
been a sign of the more feminine
trend when we have been emerg
ing from the more masculine one.
And the sash, at the moment is
popular In both afternoon and
evening costumes. The little flut
tering side drape we so frequently
see, escpecially in the sheer silks,
lik the chjffons nd Indestruc
tible voiles, are built on the sash
theme. Another theme pointing
to this greater feminine trend is
the cape theme. Many of the new
frock models have the cape at the
back, oyer one shoulder only, or
the theme Itself carried out In a
wide attached scarf. Worth, In
spired by this theme1, has designed
an, afternoon frock with detach-
;able cape that can be used as an

Many Marriage Failures
Caused by General Inabil
ity To Get Along
NEW YORK. March 3 A pro
lific cause of unsuccessful mar
riages today is the fact that "we
are in a historical era where for
the first time many women enter
upon marriage without the small-!
est preparation for their future
duties."
Such-Is the opinion of Mrs. Jes
sica G.. Cosgrave, head of one oi
the country's largest schools for
girls, as expressed In ah article
written for the March issue of
Good Housekeeping magazine.
Too many modern girls, and
also boys, have been relieved of
the necessity of learning to cook
sew, do marketing, errands and
other family duties. Mrs. Coa
grave believes. They devote too
much time to their own interest?

ily life.
"In the old days of the home-
factory, each eirl learned all its
skills as a matter of course, as
noon as she completed her rudi
mentary education, and even long
before." the educator points out.
"Nowadays, with housekeeping
made almost invisible by labor
saving devices of all kinds, many
a girl busy with school, college, and
possibly an interesting job. know:
nothing of the still necessary pro
cesses until she learns them pain
fully through experie-uce after
marriage. This is all wrong andi
is one of the causes why man
marriages, which start out with
promise, end with disaster."
But it is not alone In the prac
tical duties of providing a liveli
hood, keeping house and budget

ern young couples fall, Mrs. Cos-
grave, who is herself a successful
mother, asserts. Many do not de

"Not one of these necessary
conditions of a happy marriage

Good Housekeeping article warns.
