We are able to report, as result of a personal investigation during which we met some interesting people, that the new pastime" of Chicago girls "wolfing sailors" is a fascinating addition to American social customs, and darned good fun! By "wolfing" we mean that the girls pick up the sailors and not vice versa. Predatory as it may sound to grandmother, it's patriotic, the girls like it, the sailors like it and the end result is good clean fun. Gobs Swept Off Feet. Uncle Sam has stationed many thousands of bluejackets in and near Chicago. It is difficult for a girl to walk a block downtown and avoid meeting one.

Literally. With the hospitality for which the Midwest is famous, Chicago's girls have cast etiquette to the, winds and have adopted a method of approach to the navy which all the sailors we talked with voted "swell." The tar who sets out with his cap boldly over one eye to make a conquest likely will be bowled over in the first rush at the pier or train. The girls are waiting and willing! The sailor finds himself dated up and sipping aa, ice cream soda or viewing a movie at the girl's expense before he can shout "shivver my timbers," "splice, the main brace," or whatever it is sailors shout these days. The Sailors Capitulate. We started at a railroad station whece gobs from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station arrive in great, er gobs.

Betty tilted her pancake beret over one nervous eye and pushed through a crowd of 150 giggling, waving girls toward a handsome, black-haired bluejacket with the insignia of a fireman, third class, on his sleeve. Janet stifled her fears and bore down on a broad-shouldered coxwain. From then on we were all business and any resemblance between us and the scores of other girls aggressively marching off with their conquests was strictly coincidental. Ernest Crume of Houston, Texas, the fireman, delivered his replies to our questions in a cute drawl. Cox'n Jack Schneider of Omaha had the twang of the cornfields, where the navy gets many of its recruits.

Fireman 3C Crume, tell us what you know about wolfing sailors. "Well, it's thisaway. A couple THESE WOMEN!

Warner Rose and "three-going-on-four" year-old Alexa. They are from Honolulu, Hawaii, and are staying in Louisville for the duration. At the home of her husband's mother, Mrs. Minnie Rose, 4452 South Sixth Street, the young navy wife rested after her long trip to a strange home. Quarter Hawaiian, the pretty, dark-haired woman spoke sadly of her homeland.

"I don't want to go back until It can be like it used to be," she commented. "I haven't been in America long enough to tell whether or not I'll like it, but I know I don't like Hawaii the way it is." Americans In a Hurry. She's still shy and afraid of the confusion which surrounds American city life. In San Diego, she said, people were all going places in a hurry. In Kansas City, where they stopped for a few hours, the bigness of the station and the rush of people made her feel lost and alone.

The two Mrs. Roses never had met until Mrs. Minnie Rose met Mrs. Warner Rose at the Louisville station Thursday morning. I recognized them from pictures Warner sent me," explained Mrs.

Minnie Rose. Warner has been in the navy for eight years and has not been home since he signed up, said his mother. He met his wife in Honolulu; they married and settled down there to live. Then came Pearl Harbor. She Discusses Veather.

Mrs. Warner didn't want to talk about Pearl Harbor; she didn't even want to talk about her trip over here. Mrs. Minnie started to say something about the ship: "There were six Mrs. Warner smiled and her eyes widened with apprehension.

No, don't tell that," she cautioned gently. Mrs. Warner would, and did, discuss the weather. She has, the said, been cold ever since her arrival on these shores. "If these are your summers, what are your winters she questioned with child-like simplicity.

Everybody laughed. Alexa will be 4 years old next Thursday a week from the day she arrived in Louisville. Her mother and grandmother are THE Messrs. I. Sidney Jenkins, Colgan Norman, and Louis Horn, Louisville, have completed their course in instrument flying at Lunken Airport, Cincinnati.

They have been assigned as flying instructors at Darr Aerial Technical Primary and Basic Army School, Albany, Ga. They will leave Louisville today for Georgia. Mr. and Mrs. Grady Clay are in Sea Island, Ga, for a stay of two weeks.

They then will go to Atlanta for the wedding of Mr. Clay's sister, Miss Eleanor Clay, to Lieut. Lawson Calhoun. Mr. Clay reports for duty at Fort Knox on their return to Louisville.

There's bound to be one or two girls in the place. Gosh, you don't have to make any passes at all. They give you that great big smile and bear down on you like a battleship with a feather in her teeth. You don't get a chance to say anything, hardly. They stuff a coke into you and lug you off to a movie or the theater." Cox'n Schneider, do you have any trouble getting dates in Chicago? no, lady, you have to beat 'em off with a baseball bat." So the girls try to pick you up instead of you picking them up? "Yep.

Sometimes we wish they wouldn't be so forward. We navy men are the hard-to-get type. At least we'd like to try our own technique." Where do you meet the girls? "Oh, different places, the U.S.O. center, the soda fountains, the taverns. Me, I just whistle." Female Self-Defense.

Then we set out to get the girls' story. Alsace Lorraine Trostrude, a willowly secretary with bangs, said the girls had to take the initiative. "The sailors just go 'Tck, Tck at you but they don't try to pick you up unless you make the first move," she commented. We found that most of the girls are pretty careful about giving out their addresses or phone numbers until they get an idea whether the sailor boy is a square shooter. Correspondence Follows.

"Some of those guys are not very nice." said a girl named Shirley. "When they're like that we just buy 'em a coke and ditch 'em. "Oh yes, some of them are very nice. I'm corresponding seriously now with a fellow I 'wolfed' downtown last week." After we'd talked to a lot more gobs and girls we asked ourselves what we thought about this new game. Our grandmothers would be shocked by it, certainly.

Is it naughty or is it nice? Are these girls nice? We'll let Joe, a red-haired gob with a freckled nose answer that. We asked him if any of his fellow sailors got fresh with the girls. i "Ladies," he replied with a grin, "it's entirely up to the girl how a sailor behaves." We guess that's the answer, or Is it? hy d'AIessio Substitute items how outstanding ingenuity, First Lady discovers Roosevelt. of transportation. On Wednes day, when I announced at the airport that I was taking my last flight, the officials looked at me with horror.

They said that because so much publicity had been given, they had very little travel between New York City and Washington and were flying with empty seats on every trip. They really want the public to under-stind that when seats are needed they must be given up, but reservations can be held. When I inquired about train travel, I was told that so long as accommodations were available, they would be glad to have them used. They only want people to accept cheerfully a certain amount of uncertainly. I people have to travel by coach, or sit up at night, they hope it will be accepted with a smile.

They did ask that week-ends be left free by the general public, so that service people could travel in greater comfort. i IE CLOCK MONDAY. 10:00 A.M. Louisville Women's City Club: 450 S. Third chorus rehearsal; spring luncheon and musicale.

SATURDAY NIGHT the second In the series of regular summer weekly dances at the Country Club went off with a bang, and the entertainment committee says arrangements are under way for the Thursday night dinner dances to start as soon in June as the weather becomes nice and balmy. These, as in former years, will be held outside when possible with the dancing on the floor overlooking the swimming pool. Biggest future event scheduled at the Country Club is the annual 4th of July entertainment.

It" is the good luck of the club to have its usual big order of fireworks already contracted for. All ages will congregate that evening for dinner under the trees and to see the beautiful display of fountains, spinning wheels and rockets. THE JOHN M.

Latest loss to the community is Byron Hilliard, whose patriotic sentiments have sent him off to serve with the Army Air Force. It seems certain that Mr. Hilliard, now properly titled captain, is in a branch of the service where he will see active and exciting duty. He now is stationed at Miami Beach, where he is taking a preliminary six-week training course. At the end of that time he will be a qualified combat intelligence officer whose job will be to serve with a bomber squadron.

Wife Alice is awaiting developments in his plans to decide about going to join him with young daughter Gay. Mary Johnson Kaye has returned from her visit to Lieut. Lewis Kaye at his post in Corpus Christi, Texas, with the news that she has rented a furnished house in that city and that she and daughter Mary Fenley will leave about the middle of June to make their home there. She reports that it has a very delightful location on the Gulf of Mexico, and that their stay will be made pleasant by the friends they already have there. It is a pleasant coincidence that Lieut.

Com. Francis Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell, Cincinnati, are in Corpus Christi. The Mitchells and the Kayes are old friends, the two wives having been bridesmaids at each others weddings! We are willing to make a bet that the welken will ring at the Kayes' Harrods Creek home on the evening of June 3d, when twenty-four girls will be overnight guests of Mary. On that evening the N.L.A.

Club of Collegiate School is holding its annual dance at the River Valley Club, after which affair all the members are invited to an enormous overnight house party at the Kayes'. Kitty Lee Honaker is president of the N.L.A. There is a great deal of excitement and speculation over just where within one house two-score girls will lay their heads! LUCKY HELEN SIIIMMIN SEILER is in New York with husband John Gray Seiler, who had to make a business trip East and took her along for a pleasure jaunt. We understand that they will be. away about two weeks before returning to their Mockingbird Hill home.

WEDDINGS ARE HAPPY EVENTS, and it gives us the greatest pleasure to announce that on Friday Dr. Esther Wallner and Mr. Frederick Macmin were married here in Louisville. Dr. Wallner, of course, needs no introduction, but it is not out of place to mention that Mr.

Macmin is an Englishman who came here about a year and a half ago from London, and who has gathered about him a host of warm friends in his short stay. It is good news that Dr. Wallner will continue her Brent is just getting over the effects of an appendicitis operation of a few weeks ago, and Mrs. Alt-sheler, with true motherly concern, is going up to give the household a helping hand. She hopes that Lucy Brent will come to Louisville in June with daughter, Dodie, for a stay of several weeks.

MRS. FRANCIS GETTY 8 has returned to her home on Glenmary from a visit to daughter Virginia Lee Tyrrell in. Boston, bringing back the good news that son-in-law Gerald Tyrrell has been advised by the British Foreign Office that he does not have to go to Chungking, as previous orders said. Instead, he will continue his work as British consul general In Boston for the time being, at Returning today from a family work-end reunion in Lexington will be Mrs. Gettys, Mr.

Hosts were Dr. Thomson Riggs and Mrs. Riggs, who arranged the first Lexington get-together after frequent ones had been held in Louisville in the past. MARY TILFORD CLOWES. MY DAY By Eleanor WASHINGTON Mr.

Eric Gug-ler called for me at 9:30 Friday morning in New York City and, with shame I admit, for the first time I visited the sub-Treasury building on Wall Street. A group of people have been interested in seeing the very beautiful rotunda restored and made a fitting place where ceremonies of different kinds can be carried on. At present, it is used by the Passport Service and it is difficult to visualize how beautiful it will be when the partitions are taken out. The detail around the doors, the old iron grill work of the balcony, the beautiful pillars and really perfect proportions make it a most beautiful and dignified hall. LATER in the evening I went to see an exhibition of articles which have been made by manufacturers from materials not Required for war purposes.

It is astounding what ingenuity has been shown in the development of things which before were made almost entirely out of metal and now are made in plastics and wood. Some of the blankets are being produced with a minimum of wool. They look delightful and when the winter comes we shall know whether they are as warm as "all wool." Of course, for years the Chinese have been using cotton quilted coats for winter, and China has a cold, climate! I also saw some curtains which can be sponged off, and yet look like chintz as they hang in the window.
