A What MEN Are 600 Gather for Book Luncheon; 1 Views Told on American Women By MILDRED BEETMAN Every American woman has been divorced at least once-according to the Indian conception of the American way of life. Speaking yesterday before an audience of 600 at the annual Readers and Writers Luncheon of the Brooklyn Woman's Club at the Hotel St. George, Hilda Wernher, author of "My Indian Family," declared that lack of understanding between East and was due to the inability of Americans to "present themselves." "Indian people have a completely Hollywoodian notion of the American way of life," declared the author, who recently returned from India. "In addition to their conviction about the prevalence of divorce here. they believe every household in the United States has an imposing staff of servants and that all Americans are Godless." To promote better understandICE guggested that Western visitors to the Orient conduct themselves according to the "When in Rome, do as Romans do" principle.

When in India, she said, she wore long dresses, allowed her hair to grow, didn't smoke, drink or wear makeup.

"To him, his voice was something to make others happy." Discussing the American Repertory Theater to be opened in October, Miss LeGallienne likened the theater to a library.

"When you buy a new book. you 'don't throw out the old." declared Miss LeGallienne, who is one of the sponsors of the new theater. "You add it to your collection and look it over from time to time. The function of a repertory theater is to gather together fine plays from all over the world and keep them alive, keep them there for people to return to from time to time." The Rev. Dr.

SAVE WASTE FATS Woman's Editor Some day some one is going time resort fashions. Having fallen, some good-looking cotton clothes as perfect for Bermuda wear, we and skirts are a better bet at this time of year. It would take sturdier blood than ours to be romping around in open midriffs. At this point we are willing to settle for the great favor of not having had to wear a heavy coat-treat enough when one looked at the hotel bulletin board to discover how low the temperatures were back in Brooklyn during the past three weeks. Bermuda, where hibiscus and passion flowers were in full bloom, is particularly interesting now.

Our army and navy installations established there during the war have made little difference to the beauty of the island. Jeeps scoot along over the soft coral roads and bicyclists have to watch their step but in all the island has undergone little change. At the moment, a rather intense fight is in progress to stem the general use of automobiles. The women of the colony are leading the opposing forces and last week we listened to a mass meeting called in the opera house at Hamilton when the ladies did their best to make the wealthy business interests of the little island realize how detrimental would be complete autofreedom. The shops of Hamilton, which are once more getting set for the American tourist, were plastered with large throwaways reading "Don't Kill the Goose With General Use." It was the opinion of most American visitors on the island that automobiles would disturb the very tranquillity which now is so attractive--and available after only three hours by air from LaGuardia Field these days.

There's still another piece of news for Spring that should have a special appeal for the staffs of high school and college papers around the borough who have had the letters e-t-a-o-i-ns-h-r-d-1-u turn up in their proof sheets.

Suits and hats were the high spots of the show with cottons, prints and playclothes viewing for their share of the honors. There was a new look to the suits brought about by a change in cutting and manipulation of the material. Outstanding was the Beau Dandy type of suit shown above, which accented the back fullness with a slightly dipping line. Double rows of tiny brass buttons played up the diagonal high front collarless closing of the short fitted jacket of another suit which had true dolman sleeves ending in a melon pushup.

S. VICTORY BONDS AND SAVINGS STAMPS Girl, 18, Is Treated Mary Haworth's Mail Like a Puppet DEAR MARY HAWORTHPerhaps I am at fault in the following situation, and if sO I want to know it. Although I am 18 years old, my mother treats me as if I were just about to climb out of the cradle. She continually embarrasses me before my friends, finds countless things for me to do the moment I relax and generally disregards my rights as an Mary Haworth equal. Besides keeping me on the jump from the minute I return from school until 1 go to bed, it seems the only time mother can enjoy the radio is when I am right in the middle of my homework.

When I ask her to turn the radio lower because I can't concentrate, she says, "Phat's too bad," and leaves it there. She seems to think this absolutely fair. Yet she demands all A's on my report card, when she must know that such a distraction is no help Ito study. When I have friends in she monopolizes the conversation, telling them how awful she thinks most high school girls are, but what a perfect angel I am. Yet as soon as they leave she does nothing but criticize me in comparison to my friends.

I don't resent being helpful to mother. In fact, I think it's a role to cherish. It's just that I get so angry at her total disregard of what I may be doing or have in mind. If I am just a spoiled brat, please tell me and I'll never say another word against the situation. But if it isn't all my fault, can you sug.

gest a way of compromising with mother? How can I possibly please her in all these N. L. matters? False Notion DEAR N. -There is a prevalent notion that parents and children, being of the same flesh and blood, should spontaneously feel a natural sympathy and fondness for each other. In truth, however, parents and children are individuals, one and all, with each member of the family group a personality package of qualities and traits, some freshly minted, some inherited, which make him, in sum total, a new model, so to speak, in God's issue of human beings.

Kindred spirits aren't often come by. I think your trouble with your mother is, at bottom, a problem of natural antipathy between two females who, if they had met on neutral ground, unrelated, would have felt no attraction to each other and might, indeed, have felt vaguely hostile. Feeds Friction Convention dictates loving kindness from parents and willsoling, respectful obedience from children. Thus in this situation we have the push and the pull of these two social pressures forcing you two involuntary antagonists to try by fits and starts to act sweetly--to go against your subconscious impulse to have nothing to do with, or else spit fire at, each other. And thus we have.

a third fuel element feeding frictionnamely, unconscious resentment of the yoke of duty relationships. For advice: At her age she is probably too old, too set in her ways, to reconstruct her duct along civilized lines. But you, at 18, on the verge of outgrowing her, can afford to forgive and be charitable, as I think you ought. Time is in your favor. M.
