S HAM , Sharon Wynne: DEBUTANTE Stranded On the afternoon they were to leave for Stromdale, Gay and Jock and Irene were just getting into the car when Irene received a telephone c: "It was some of the bunch frpm New York," she sald as she rej Jock and Gay. "They're co here. They're not sure of thefr direc- tions, I'll have to wait for them. You and Gay go on, Jock." "We'll all walt," Jock replied. "No," said Irene. "I planned to get the groceries and get the fires started before the others arrived. You two go ahead and get that done. Stop at Starr's grocery in that last little town before you get to the lodge. You know, Jock. Here's the list of things." She waved to them until a turn in the road took the car out of sight, and then went inside, smiling trilumphant- ly.

"Well, here we are," he sald, as they drove up to the back porch of Btromdale. He helped Gay out, then took a key from his pocket, and unlocked the door. The place was dark and silent, Not a sign of life, Suddenly, Gay realized--knew ex- actly what Irene had done! It was all a frame-up! Beth Allen was not here. And that telephone call from "the New York crowd!" A fake. There wasn't any house party. It was just a scheme concocted by Irene and Marvin--and probably Van Gordon--to trap her here with Marvin! And Irene would gee to it that she and Jock did not get here until morning, Panic seized Gay. What could she do? The village was ten miles away.

Another view--and this from a woihan --Miss Agnes Sharp, chief psycholo- gist of the Psychiatiic Institute . of the Municipal Court, at' Chicago, was that women dress just to capture the interest of the male, The psychologists came out of sep- arate mental huddles on the question of why women go in for self-adorn- ment on a big: scale, after Prot.

Casey, of the philosophy de- partment of De Paul University, had said that women primp because of' other women, "Woman," said the professor, "is far more concerned about reactions from members of her own sex," But Mrs. Evelyn Mills Duvall, psy- chologist, asserted women wear sky- scraper hats and keep up on the latest styles becaueé "way down'deep every woman dresses to satisfy herself."
