Which would you marry?" Caroline Chatfield Says While ( Career Girks Have Their Minds on Careers, the | other girls who have nothing 011 their minds hut hats and husbands get busy and gobble up the prospects. Girls shouldn't delay in looking for husband. DEAR MISS CHATFIELD": The more I see of marriage, the more I feel sort of glad that I have none of it for the present. It appears to me that unless young people have years of experience in working at a business or profession before taking on matrimony, they are likely to head for the rocks and hit them. Better be single than sorry and so I am working at my career but not losing sight of the star to which I have hitched my wagon. Of course I know that there is no such thing as a perfect man or a perfect girl either but we must have ideals and cling to them. As a thoughtful girl who is looking and learning I would like to hear your reaction to my dream of love. Cleanliness being next, to godliness I want a clean husband, moral ly. mentally, physically. I think it takes religion to keep a man clean and loyal. College education isn't essential but a good men tality is. If a man is mentally alert he is likely to be industrious and progressive and likely to sense true values. Am I right? A. W. R. ANSWER: As far as your ideal husband is concerned I think you are just about correct, but as to putting in the salad years, pursuing a career before you volunteer for matrimony. I'm not in agreement with you. I don't believe business or professional experience is necessary to make a girl a good picker of a pilot nor do I believe that this experience will; necessarily enable her to keep her marital ship off the rocks. Certainly in these days of economic upsets it is sensible for every girl to be able to support herself. A short fling at collect ing the pay envelope, writing her own check and casting up her own accounts will stand her in good stead when she's married. But if you ask me. I think it is a pretty good plan for her to be cutting her eyes around for the prospective groom, the minute she finishes her education. The longer she puts off marriage the more the masculine field is reduced. While she has her mind on her career, the girls who have nothing on their minds but hats and husbands are gobbling up the prospects. In her thirties she has a much smaller chance of finding { the right man than she would have had in her twenties and for several | reasons. She has tasted the sweetness of financial independence and i she will be reluctant to relinquish it unless the beau ideal comes over the horizon. In the meantime she has been moving up her stakes, heightening her requirements and the men aren't improving any. CAROLINE CHATFIELD.

Elizabeth City. N .C. PARIS STYLES By MARY FENTRESS United Press Staff Correspondent Paris. (U.R) ? Paquin uses the unusual combination of black velvet and white organdy to make an effective evening gown in the new collection. The principal part of the dress is a black velvet sheath which is fitted closely to the body. The front neckline is slightly draped and is supported by straps of twisted velvet caught in at the back with twisted white organdy. A fan like train c'f whita organdy is inserted in the back of the skirt. The white organdy insertion is 2Ut on the bias in extreme full ness and is bordered by two nar-ji row bands of black velvet. More summery is the gown in pink organdy trimmed with bands of puffed ruching stitched flat on both edges. Those puffed bands of organza outline the low-cut decollete and form a halt er stray at the neck which sup ports the front bodice. The same trimming is used as a band 6 inches above the hem of the full i skirt. There is an accompany- 1 ing bolero jacket which is trim med with the same banding at the edge of the short sleeves and at the hem. A wide-brimmed hat of pink organza is worn on the pack of the head. Paquin makes an attractive peach costume in bluish lavender linen trimmed with biscuit color ed linen. There is a sun suit worn with shorts in the bluish lavender and a long fitted coat to wear over it. The coat, which is made with short, puffed sleeves, is edged with a band of biscuit linen, applied in scallops, down the front open ing.
