Rudolph Thomas discussed last

"The ground idea of the "Ring"

two greatest powers in this earthly
life. love and gold. As long as the
gold is hidden in the Rhine, the

longing for it.

“My whole oo‘lcct Ill accepting this
new political office is to foster good

Mrs. Moller states that she has no

‘Ali wrong. Is that the wgy you

herself. On the contrary. one gets
the idea from talking to her that she

knows what she wants and stclks

Wilson Point residents are make
lng great plans for a masquerade
dance to be held Friday evening at
Mrs. Milis’ studio at Wilson Point.
This dance is to be something out

expect of the Wilson Point residents.
True it. will be a masquerade but it
will be a masquerade unlike' any
that has yet been given in the city
of Norwalk.

The unique part of the affair is
that every one who attends is to
come dressed as the kind of person
he or she "always wanted to be."

Some of thom have already do.

there is the girl who always wanted
to be e. big strong man with an in-

is of the modern independent type
who is coming as a clinging vine:
there is the girl who always wanted

had dreams of becoming some fa-

who visited us last year. discusses
American men. ‘

Among other things. she takes up
the conversation of the average
American and British business men
that you engage in a casual conver-
sation with on a commuting train.

Englishmen _who commute. she
finds. talk mostly of gardens or poll-
tics. The American travelers she
encountered never talked of either.
Business. she observed. is the main
interest of the American man. but
he talks freshly and vlvddty on the
subjects that interest. whether he
actually knows all his facts or not.

This suggested a. question to me.
"What do the women you talk to
and overhear talking to others con-
verse about?" '

And my own observation prompts
me to reply with the single word.
"Clothes." ‘

Recently I ovprheard a woman
entertaining her escort at dinner. It
was at a crowded summer hotel
where conversations about you ware
forced upon you. . .

This woman. very knowingly cos-
tumed and lewelled up to the
second joint on each filigcr that
fashion permits to be ringed. kept
up a running tire about what she
wanted in the why of clothes. what
she had and what other women
wore. .

She spoke fluently of techlncali-
ties such as godcts and jabots that
must have been Greek to her escort.
and she told him exactly what

She turned the dining room into a - 3
sartorial clinic. The man put up no
defense. He vaguely nodded. put in
appropriate monosyllables of affire
mation or negation occasionally. and
ate without extended comment.

I don't know how he escaped be.
ing [rightfully bored.

Wherever I found women together
I found them discussing clothes.
Even such absorbing topics as husu - ',
band. beaux. children. and the diffi-
culties with maids appeared to be
secondary to the matter of raiment.

To be sure. we naturally talk
about what interests us most. if
we're not overruled, and undoubted- .
ly clothes are an absorbing subject. ‘i’
I don‘t. discount the importance of
clothes, or the amount. of time and‘
thought they take up in our lives.

But why make them our sole in-
terest. or our main topic of conver-
sation? When one is well assembl-
ed. why not: forget it and think of
something else? And if one is not
why call attention to it?

We all love format the beautiful '
woman who manages to give the
impression that she is quite uncon-
scious of her loveliness. We like to
run across the well-dressed 'woman
who somehow manages to be causual
and unconcerned about it.

Just as it is disllusioning to see a.
woman constantly powdering her
nose and applying her lipstick. so it
is to find a woman constantly think-
ing and talking of her clothes. It
destroys the charm.
