Men’s clubs a re doing a rem ark
able work fo r boys. W om en’s clubs
are not doing as much for girls.
Boy Scout troops in m any places
have been helped by m en’s clubs, but
few wom en’s clubs have realized
their op p o rtunity to help the girls.
Boy Scout troops are alw ays organ
ized in a com m unity many years
ahead of Girl Scouts or Camp Fire
Girls. W hat is the reason? Do the
women not love th e girls as much as
the men care fo r the bays; or do we
not realize the need?
A little girl, in h er teens, came
into a w elfare
head q u arters the
other day, and said, p u ttin g her hand
to her b reast, “ I wish I had some
thing fa r w h a t’s ea tin g me in here.”
That was h er crude way of telling
that she craved friendship and so
cial life and fun.
H er fam ily was
very poor; h er tastes w ere above her
environm ent; her home was too
shabby and b arren to bring there
those who com pany she longed for
—and she was consum ed by a long
ing for m ore of the am enities of life.
Many a frail little girl, a fu tu re citi
zen and potential m other, is stru g
gling ag ain st such handicaps, try
ing to preserve her ideals against
heavy and lonesom e odds. Is this
not a m a tte r of concern to fo r
tunate wom en?
Girls’ W eek, in m any places is be
ing sponsored by wom en’s clubs. In
some of these “ W eeks” there will be
Mothers’ and D aughters’ banquets;
an “ A t H om e” fo r daughters, to
which they m ay bring th e ir friends;
a church service which m others and
daughters a tte n d to g eth er; a high
class movie dedicated to the girls; a
program p u t on by the girls, for
m others; and o th er such celebrations
in which the girls bear the honors.
If we would make the next genera
tion fine, one of the best means is
to help th e girls of today. To spon
sor the Girl Scouts is a worthy work
for any g ro u p of women.
If one
has no d au g h ter of her own, there

FASHIONS.
FADS,
FOIBLES
Pin tucks are the fad of the mo
ment. M any women are g ettin g eye-
strain doing them by hand, but they
can be done on the machine.
Dresses of tow tones o f one color
are the season’s latest. Lace, fine
and lace o f coarser p a tte rn is large
ly used on th e new er dresses. Hats,
which have been so simple, are to be
trim m ed u n d er the brim s.
Jab o ts m ay be m erely neck orna
m ents, or m ay extend the entire
length of the frock. F o r sports, yel
low, g reen , blue and w hite are the
thing. T h ere are new p ant frocks,
with the sk irt and tro u sers made in
one piece.
Eton jack ets, or boleros, m ark the
new er styles. O rgandy is a popular
m aterial. S kirts may be shorter in
fro n t th an in back. The sleeveless
sw eater still reigns.
Sleeves vary
from n o th in g in sport jackets to
short, elbow, th ree -q u arte rs and long
in gowns.
S kirts m ay be knee length, or two
inches below, with a tendency to
“ going dow n” and w aist lines grad
ually “ going up.” Uneven hem lines
and d rapes on the side o r in front,
prevail.
