Given Advice

Dear Sue Leaf:

~I have been reading your column
for sometime and I enjoy it very
much. ~Now, I am writing you for
advice.

I am a girl twenty-two years of
age, have never had a date with a
boy but there is a boy in my home
town whom I love. He and I were
friends at one time but there was
another girl and we would quarrel
all of the time about her. He told
me that he did not care anything
about her but I would> not believe
him. Now when he sees me out and
says something to me, he seems to
care for me but he does not seem
to know. how to express it.

I love him and it seems that I
always will. What do you think }
ought to do about him.

he treats you nice. You, perhaps, quarrel with him for the

Shorts For Evening Wear Get _
Approval Of Marie Downing |

Warns Men Will
Find Them Very,
Very Funny

By MARIF DOWNING

Shorts for evening wear! It
seems that that appvoaches a ~~beMeve it or not~ category in the
modern woman~s_ thinking...sut
one of our larger metropolitan
newspapers on Sunday devoted a
sizeable quantity -f snace to an
inviting photograph of one of our
Hollvweod celebrities~dressed in
evening shorts!

Well, why not? And, why?

We. women more anda more have
discarded needless clothing in the
interests of comfort. And we've
found stvles which are both chic
and comfortable. So far, however,
we've held shorts to a sports classification, where they rightfully.
belong!

MIGHTY ATTRACTIVE

~We first wore slacks for casual
occasions, and gradually donned
them for morning wear, even on
the streets, and all of us admit
there is something mighty attractive aboypt a young woman swinging along in neatly fitting slacks
Somehew she seems to symbolize
the freedcm and independency of
modern women!:

Dress her in a well-stvled afternoon gown or informal dress and
she gains in attractiveness, however. She is more feminine....
more as we expect her to be.

* But she gains her full beauty and
her most attractive anpearance in
an evening gown. All women do.
Espccially if she has_ exercised
good zaste in her selection of materjals and styling. All of us~our
menfolk included~feel that she
then is as near perfection in apreerance as she can be.

RECALL OTHER MOMENTS

Any of us can close our eyes and
recall pleasurable visions of the
gsiety and splendor of a crowded
ballroom where beautiful women
appear more beautiful still in lovelv
evening dress and gowns, highly
varied in colors and stylings.

T find it terrifically difficult, however, to imagine much actual heauty and little of romantic interest
in picturing a similar scene~with
the women in evening shorts rather
than gowns! I know their variance
would be unusual. I realize their
colorings would be multitudinous.

And our menfolk would joke us
about them and appear to be
pleased wita them. Those who
told us their honest opinions, however, would tell us that they did
not like them. Neither do I and

I feel that most women will agree
with me in that decision.
WILL GAIN RESPECT

We have attained tremendous respect through the development of
a conservatism in dress, a widened knowledge of what to wear and
what not to wear. We have devel.
oped. our own stvle trends, popularized the use of dress and fabric colorings more harmonious to
