Their second volume, according to Ms. Gubar, associate professor in the I.U. English Department, "is flying." The second volume concerns the 20th century, and its provisional title is No Man's Land.

The importance of World War I to female writers sets the stage for the book which illustrates, says Ms. Gubar, "the ways in which women became survivors, the ways in which women imagined landscapes that were female and female communities existing without men." THE SEQUEL, she hopes, will be the "bride," or a Pulitzer winner, because Ms: Gubar likens the honorable mention given the Madwoman by the Pulitzer jury to being a bridesmaid. She shrugs, teasing, "But who wants to marry a mad woman?" She continues, "Sandra and I were extremely pleased to have the Madwoman named a Pulitzer nominee." The citation "was a wonderful honor for the book." Also a nominee for the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award, Mad-. By BETSY HARRIS A "mad woman" in various forms flew across the country several times, landing ultimately a Pulitzer Prize eolade. Susan Gubar, co-author of The Madwoman in the Attic, explains that the manuscript circulated between her base at Bloorninfiton and Davis, where co-author Sandra M.

Gilbert lives, during the final years of its writing. Former associates at Indiana University, they "talked out" the Madwoman in its early stages. Some of the first chapters were written by one and revised by Susan Gubar (left) and Sandra M. Gilbert, co-authors of The Madwoman in the Attic, a Pulitzer Prize nominee, are at work on its sequel. ITS RITI-MC IN MAY And They're Off On The Fast Track For Parties Since Saturday, race cars are on the fast track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indianapolis natives and race visitors are on a fast party track already.

Some social gatherings took place over the weekend and lots more are on tap this week and the following two, all woman has its basis in 19th century English and American prose and poetry. In the theoretical section of the non-fiction work, the authors argue that "women writers (of the 19th century) have unique problems establishing their authority as writers in a culture defined as masculine," according to Ms. Gubar. A SERIES OF close readings of major texts follows. Authors studied include Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austin, Emily Bronte, Mary Shelley, George Elliott and Emily Dickinson.

Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre is the springboard for the Madwoman title. "I hope that our book will appeal to more than just an academic audience," says Ms. Gubar. Published by Yale University Press, the 719-page work is priced at $25. "I am sad that it costs so much money," she continues, "but it will be published this fall in paperback!" THE AUTHORS' graduate students have had imput "important dialogue which helped produce the book," says Ms.

Gubar as documented by footnotes crediting the postgraduates. "Undergraduates," she finds, "are pleased their teachers are writers. To be published authenticates what we are teaching." Ms. Gubar, who has a bachelor's degree from City College of New York, a master's degree from the University of Michigan and her doctorate from the University of Iowa, teaches 19th and 20th-century English fiction, a freshman introductory course to literature and composition and graduate courses in feminist studies. Brooklyn-born and bred, the 35-year-old professor reminisces that she accepted the offer in 1973 to teach at I.U.

because "Kenneth Gros Louis (now dean of the College of Arts and Sciences), who hired me, had created a productive atmosphere especially for our (Ms. Gilbert's and her) work. He encouraged us to teach together WHEN FIRST collaborating in the classroom, "Sandra and I tried to find major metaphors, plots and motifs that were uniquely female or uniquely used by women in their writing." In addition to her professional life, Ms. Gubar attests, "I have a very lively family life." Her husband is a freelance fiction writer and journalist. They are the parents of two daughters, Molly, 6, and Simone, 3.

That month will be with us now before we know it, and thousands of young men and women will take their vows for better or worse with every intention of sticking to them. Thousands will go into marriage poorly trained for it and with a completely unrealistic attitude toward it.

Far be it from me to try to take the romance out of BEDWETTER PW LET THEM HAVE A UMT DfcU JUST PLAIN warmth, kindness and tolerance are important parts of every successful marriage. Third, there is nothing which so cheapens a relationship between a man and a woman as jealousy. Don't marry unless you are going to believe in the man you marry. Nothing is so pitiful or so ludicrous as a jealous woman. Besides this, many a mate has remained faithful simply because he or she could not betray the perfect faith of the other.

Suspicion and distrust breed poor conduct. Last, I think brides should be knowledgeable on nutritution. With what has been learned about this vital subject during the last few years and what will be learned, she has a chance to promote the health of her family in a way which was impossible not long ago. Of course, the man must do his part, too, but I am describing a modern dowry for today's bride. With the dowry I have suggested, I do not believe that so many marriages could go wrong, and if they do, it could not be the bride's fault.

I think it should be the beginning rather than the end of the great passion. YOUNG FOLKS should realize, though, that they are entering into a partnership, that they are going to share the problems and troubles of life as well as the blessings and the fun.

They should be prepared for the fact that no one is perfect, not even their one-arid-only, and that the pressures of daily living no doubt will bring some of the less-attractive characteristics to the surface at times. The day of the dowry has passed, yet a bride can take a kind of dowry with her This consists of the state of her health, her disposition, her attitude toward life and toward others, her know-how as a homemaker and her potentialities as a mother. This dowry can be paltry or magnificent, depending on the individual. IF I WERE TO SELECT the most ioUMOJt important qualities or characteristics for a bride's dowry I would choose the following. First, good health.

It is almost impossible to invest in life wholeheartedly and enthusiastically or to react to it graciously if you have poor health. Just from the practical viewpoint, a wife who is ill a large part of the time is an emotional and a financial drain on her husband. Getting a start in life, building for the future and rearing children is pretty rugged business for most young couples. That extra measure of energy which good health brings is invaluable. Next, a sense of humor.

It is fun to live with someone who has a good sense of humor. This oils the wheels of living and dulls the sharp corners. Mall to: PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL.

TIMES NEWS SERVICE New York Ralph Lauren's fall-winter collection is an ail-American presentation that plucked from the past all the ingredients that made sports clothes special. With their shoulder-length hair flying, the models had a healthy, outdoors look. The clothes were clean and uncomplicated but had a romantic air. They recalled the golden age of debutantes like Brenda Frazier and Esme O'Brien and the era when college shops flourished. Forget the miniskirt.

There were Bermuda shorts, to be sure, cut with a little flourish to flare at the hem and flatter the legs. The majority of styles were calf-length dirndl skirts that were beautifully balanced by snug jackets or sweaters. Velvet and tweed was a favorite combination. FOR THE NOSTALGIC, the styles evoked a whole lexicon of fashion favorites. There were gently fitted reefer coats in tweed, reversible balmacaans in herringbone tweeds and poplin and boy coats in cashmere.

There were sweaters with Fair Isle patterned inserts or puffed sleeves, twin sets in cashmere with cables and plenty of flannel trousers. For pizzaz, check the velvet bloomers, Inverness capes and shawl-collared jackets Lace blouses with high necklines and a cascade of ruffles in the front supplied a Gibson Girl note that softened the sweaters, the tailored jackets and the dirndl skirts. The models wore antique pins, ribbed stockings and flat pumps with almost everything. For evening, they were dressed in tailored dinner jackets or velvet strapless dresses. THE CANVAS WAS not vast, but the details were beautifully worked out.

It is one of Lauren's best collections and a firm step forward into the new season. Calvin Klein's showing made a different dynamic statement. It was another major presentation, with 1.000 or so viewers, including standees, packed devoutly together to receive the newest message from one of fashion's masters. The models were equally attractive, but instead of imparting a gentle, feminine aura, the clothes were strict and sturdy. The show started with two suits with oversize jackets elaborately padded through the shoulders and sloping to the hips.

The low, double-breasted closing was fastened only on the last button. It was as if a woman had slipped into her boy friend's jacket, or her father's. ANOTHER OF THE mannish styles in the collection is the black leather bomber's jacket, freely adapted from the designer men's collection, and presented with either wool serge or leather pants. Variations are in yellow or charcoal gray nylon. Coats carry on the padded shoulder theme and raincoats have button-in liners to adapt them to brisker weather.

The designer gives status to the loose dress by cutting in with smock-like fullness but using thin fabrics that fall against the body, suggesting curves but not too blatantly. Evening dresses capitalize on this fluidity, whether they are made with strapless, halter or slip tops or have high necklines that cover the collar bones. They are all what the designer calls "ballerina" length, with hemlines that end at the ankles. Fabrics are a delicately printed satin organza or crinkly crepe marocain. SWEATERS accompany most of the day clothes They're in rueged cotton or wool shaker knits or luxurious cashmere Some conveniently are equipped with hoods No miniskirts here either, but plenty of trousers Tof-e'her.
