Now We are liable to run to points all

actual fashions and models az they
are shown In the shop windows are
tashioning frocks and wraps that
show their knowledge that this thing

Observe the evening frocks that

These panels form a cascading back

velvet that enfolds the figure from

straight ruche Of gray fur.
1t is really a part of medievalism,
this background of gay and brilliant
colorful cloth. 1t went with that era
as much as the chemise robe with its
gorgeous girdIe which the public ap-

Are you one Of the many house,

It takes quite q while for many

learning. 1t is simply a matter OF
the way in which you approach your
daily tasks. having good sense enough
to do not the thing that you feel In
clined to do first, but the thing that
will make your house or apartment
look orderly. Suppose. for instance.
that your days work consists OF tasks
that you can group under six heads.
Suppose you jot them down. ~ fol-

That is a typical days work that any
housewife might have to do at this
time of the year.
Now, many a housewife would feel
inclined to get to work at the bed

night before. and 20 Immediately
after breakfast she would set to work
at that task. Then she would be
confronted with the mending. and
wishing to get that off her mind, she
would Sit down In a disordered living
room and mend and sort until hours
had slipped by. Meantime the dishes
would be standing on the breakfast

must necessarily be very general. A
college education is q great help II it
has not been concentrated on any
particular subject to the detriment of

Opportunity for Advancement.
Once In the game the aspirant to a
dictatorship will find the opportuni-
ties limitless. Such a statement is
not half so extreme as it sounds. The
perfect picture is still thing of
dreams. An industry can develop
only as the intelligence which directs
it develops. The interest of big minds
is a thing that until recently has
been glaringly absent from the mo-
ton picture. But new converts. in
telligent converts. are hocking to the
banner and results are bound to come

sides. most negliges are i'll adapted
to housework.
OF late years many housewives have
become devoted to the MILDLY blouses
and doubtless this has its advantage
as part of the house work dress or
course, the cotton sort are the kind
to select for this. those of wool being
too warm for indoor work and like
wise not good for frequent washing.
The cotton material from which the
other sort are made is usually heavy
enough TO give considerable warmth
and be very durable. They may be had
in white trimmed with red. dark blue
or bright, light blue; or you may get
them in some color. preferably a
bright blue. 1t is good idea ID
wear the MILDLY blouse with some
sort of wash skirt. Perhaps you have
a discarded summer frock OF some
sort which would yield material
enough TO refashion a wash skirt that
would be suitable for wear with the
MILDLY blouse.

BY IDA MAY PARK.
Motion Picture Director OF
Los Angeles, Calf.

The vocation of the motion picture
director is one that commands SO COM
prehensive q knowledge of the arts
and sciences, economics and human
nature. that 1t is particularly dnhcuit
to describe. To the almost unlimited
mental demands on the director Is
added tho necessity Of an invulnerabie
physique. Perhaps that is why the
number Of consistently successful d.
rectors. both male and female. is rsla-
lively so small. But. having these
things. there Is no one. man or wom-
, an, who might not take up the profess
sion with a certain degree OF con
ndence in his or her ultimate sue
cess.
Because it Is so obvious, ! have not
mentioned the necessity of well
developed dramatic instinct FER
haps more than anything else that IN
stinct is the deciding factor OF the
picture director. Like acting. this
ability to direct is an Unborn talent,
but ii can be cultivated to u certain
degree through the mediums of train
ing, proper reading and environment,
But again. as 1t is with acting me
natural; it will always lack the fire
Of genius. From the beginning of the
production, when the story is being
nodded to scenario requireme nts. the
director is the supervisor. the domi-
nant note Of the production, and Il
am now writing to women alone) 1t
is her sense of dramatic value that
imparts to, or withholds from. the
picture that indefnable something
which can raise it to the ultimate
peak of picture perfection or relegate
It to the vast scrapheap of rubber

second to this in importance is the
