WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MAY, 9, 1919 What's This? Modest, of 1919 Model is Really Considered a Drug on 1 Demure Maid | | the Market in London By Earl C. Reeves. What is the English girl of today? This after-the-war type, if there is discipline and, above all, he doesn't|| ) want it across the tea table or on || the dance floor. | aia, : || Another school of this philosophy || | "such; how different is she from; the girl the boy in khaki left four years ago? And the women of these isles--have they become angular, with many corners and domineering | ways, or are they fluffy and alto-| gether irresponsible--rude even? ~ A veritable dazzle of sharp-sen- tenced inquiry is filling the news-| papers and magazines, punctuated] with exclamation points, question marks, italics and epigram. We hear of the officer who return- | ed home so tired of a tweed and| khaki sister that he married a chif-| fon wife. Some aver that little Miss | England, who makes a lovely flapper and later a dominating house-mist- ress, has moved the clock forward a few years and has now become a crisp and aggressive young person, accustomed to giving orders and ex- pecting to be obeyed. All this be- cause she has had a fling at "busi- ness" in offices, behind the steering wheel, or astride a motor side-car. Brothers, one hears, are finding sis- ters unendurable and innocent-eyed fluffy sweethearts scarce. The demobilized girl, it is said, re- . tains her 'service" manners, reminis- cent of the sergeant-major who barked his way into eternal un-| popularity behind the wire entangle- | ments. The ex-Tommy and the mufti | officer is "fed up" with whip-snap| of the new girl believes that she has | become superlatively careless, "ai siren with laughing eyes that gladden | indiscriminately at everything in'! male attire," amazingly impudent. | Lady Byron has written as much | in an article on the "dernier cri"| girls, the 1919 model. She even] makes the following suggestion : | "We shall soon hear fond parents, in glossing over their daughter's raux pas, saying, 'Of course, dear Daphne is a bit wild, but girls will be girls, and when she settles down and | marries some nice, good man she may be all the better for having sowed her wild oats. for have we not heard that the reformed rake makes the best of husband's? Then why not the best of wives?' " Lady Byron thinks the men are to|| want- || blame for encouraging, even ing, such girls, but like all parties to the controversy over Britain's young | maidens, leaves us very much in doubt as to what is the 1919 model. None seems to agree with the other, yet all seem to indicate that the modest, demure maid is a drug on the present girl market. | | { | | ALL-AMERICAN EXPO ORDERED POSTPONED The All-American Exposition, which was started as a local affair by a group of Chicago men and women a few months ago, has assumed such proportions with the visit of govern- ment officials that it promises to be-! come of national interest, and has therefore been postponed from June 7 to 22, until September to allow time to perfect the larger plans. The postponement was suggested by a representative of the Depart- ment of the Interior who visited Chicago last week to inspect the Ex-' position plans and to confer con-, cerning government exhibits to be incorporated. He declared that Chi- cago had conceived an idea that sould not be confined to.Chicago, and recommended that the affair be in- creased in size and scope, and be sent all over the country after it is used here. Tickets Are Good Tickets for the Exposition which htve been on sace since April will be good at the new date, August 30 to September 15 inclusive, and the ticket sale will continue at the pre- opening price of twenty-five cents. The All-American Exposition will show the achievements of American citibens of foreign birth, and its pur- pose is to promote a better under- standing between all elements of American citizenship. With the pro- ceeds a permanent All-American Institue will be founded in Chicago. FORT SHERIDAN NO LONGER TO BE A MILITARY POST When companies I and G of the 20th infantry receive their orders to join their regiment at Fort Riley, Kansas, Fort Sheridan will no longer be a military reservation, but will be used in the future as base hospital 28. Last August is was decided that the post should be abandoned and work was then begun to convert the fort into one of the most complete' and efficient military base hospitals in the United States. The state of Illinois turned over the ground on which the post stands to the government in 1887, with the agreement that is was to be used as a military reservation, and it is stat- ed that with the order converting the post into a hospital, the deed has become invalid. Colonel Evan Humphreys, chief of staff of the central department, con- firmed the report of the abandonment of Fort Sheridan as a post. "Companies I and G will receive their orders to move," he said, "and no other companies or regiments will be substituted. "The decision to abandon the post dates back to last August when the order was given to turn Fort Sher- idan into a hospital. With the re- moval of these companies there will be left only the motor transport corps and guards and attendants who wil be required at the hospital. ""The plan to remodel the canton- ment has been so successful that it will be kept as a permanent institu- tion." It takes a thirty-third degree Christian to accept life's crowns without vanity and life's crosses with- out bitterness. !other car at'anywhere near its price STEPHENS SALIENT SIX IS CALLED SUPER VALUE "Salient" exactly defines the Steph- ens Six," according to the manager of the General Motors of Illinois, 1019 Davis street, Evanston. "It instantly conveys to the mind the many distinct and superlative quali- ties of the Stephens motor car which is described by experts as a car of beauty, power, idling ability, speed, acceleration, economy and easing riding qualities not equaled in any class. A "salient" feature of the Stephens is embodied in the Stephens over head-valve engine. The Stephens is makers a protected investment.
