DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Youthful
Marriages
Advised
Marriages among people 19, 20,
apd 21 years old are among the
Happiest, Dr. Clifford T. Adams
tojd a group of about 300 pt the
Opening session of the Marriage
Conference last night.
Young marriages, he . said, , can
be more successful b e cause
younger people are better abli to
adjust "and adapt themselves to
new situations.
Companionship a Basis
a He pointed out that these mar
riages must be based on compan
ionship and a long enough ac
quaintance for the couple to know
each Other well, however. ,
Dr.-Adams, speaking on the
topic. “Look Before You Leap/*
stressed'similar backgrounds and
attitudes as the primary rconsider
ation for people planning to mar
ry. He said these were more im
portant than age and education
factors. .
Responsibility Needed
/ Another consideration he dis
cussed Was willingness to accept
responsibility, on the. part of both
people involved.
“The responsibility quotient of
her .husband is the primary fac
tor in .the happiness of a wife,”
he said.
In mate selection, men are more
apt to be fooled by physical at
traction than women, Dr. Adams
explained, while wdipen tend to
confuse romantic ideas with love.
Pinnings a Masquerade
During the question and an
swer period which followed his
talk, Dr. Adams called “pinnings”
a subterfuge and masquerade. He
said that an engagement to mar
ry must have formal, announce
ment and a token of betrothal in
order to be valid.
In closing, Dr. Adams quipped
a word of advice to men students.
He advised them to select their
wives from home economics ma
jors, since these women are
spending four years in learning
to be good wives and homemak
ers, and are more interested in
marriage than women enrolled in
other colleges.
Mcllvride to Address Wesley
Donald Mcllvride, program di
'ector of the Westminster Founda
ion, will speak on “Self Disci
•line” at 7 a.m. tomorrow in a
ienten devotions program at Wes
ley Foundation.

Dress of Egyptians
Is Similar to U.S.
Egypt is very much like the United States, and clothing styles
there are the same as those of Americans, according to Faika Ibra
him, eighth semester home economics education major from Cairo,
Egypt.
“Many people do not realize that Egypt is a very modern country
and has. the same living conditions as the United States,” Miss
Ibrahim said.
Miss Ibfahim explained that it
is' only in some of the villages
among the lower class of people
that the old costumes are worn,
and 6Veh there not all the people
have adhered to the clothes of
their ancestors.
Long Dress Seen
The .women in some ol the vil
lages ; sometimes are seen in the
long, loose d?ess associated with
old Egypt. The. dress may be of
*any color, and is covered by a
long, black, sheet-like piece of
material called a “malaya.”
The malaya is worn in public,*
and is draped over the head and
wound about the body. It is folded
across' the arms and held back
with the hands under the arms.
In the olden days, Miss Ibrahim
said, it was customary for women
to wear a veil in public, but that
custom had been dropped.
Loyr Heel Worn
• Low heeis are generally worn
for comfort. A scarf is wrapped
abo.ut the head* to hold back the
hair under.the malaya. This scarf
is often decorated around the
edge with embroidery or bead
work.
Miss Ibrahim said Egyptian
women are very fond of jewelry.
She said long ago the women
wore a great many long necklaces,
like those.rnow seen on- campus.
The fashion for these necklaces
changed and they were not worn
for some time. Now they are once
more in style. Bracelets and big
earrings are also favorites.
Wear Same Styles
Miss Ibrahim was quite em
phatic. in stressing the fact that
Egyptian women, in the majority,
wear the same styles and follow
the : same fashions as women m
the United States and other west
ern countries.
Several Egyptian magazines
confirm her statement, for pic
tures in these magazines show the
conventional evening gowns,
cocktail dresses, suits, skirts and
sweaters, and even fur coats.
