piness and success.
The creative instinct is strong in
the child; it must express, and it will
express. Often. when the Imagination
does not give it play or plan for the
expression of its powers, it expresses
destructively. 1t is as equally natural
for child to destroy as to build.
Training of the imagination or lack
of it, influences the child, to some cx-
tent. throughout his life.
Therefore, it behooves us as duti-
full parents TO guide the Imagination
Of our children into constructive train
ing of it by the child. TO encourage
his efforts and appreciate his crca-
tons no matter how crude or made
luate they may be.

Paris, April 17.-Among the things
which one bride included in her trous-
seau today was a sports coat OF

tremely chic in cut and had the yir-
tue of being easily cleaned.
New York. April 17.-The coat
| frock today is very sensitively accom-
panied by a little cape matching it in
color and material. The little cape
hangs just below the hips and is a
non-chalant garment. tied with cord
at the neck and allowed TO slip oil

London. April I5.-Among the bor-
dered goods which fashionable wom-
On prepare for wraps, sport clothes
and afternoon frocks today is ang-
koor. This is of fine wool, often
creamy in shade with woven pattern
of huge proportions in both borders
and bands.
London, April 17.-The very latest
fad today is TO have hat, bag and
scarf match. The hat, for example,
may be of leaf green taffeta enbroid-
cred in silver. The wrist bag will be
of the same material. while the scarf
may be green and silver changchble

it into constructive channels.

Workers Preparing for Con-

Fearful Of after-effects Of reclassi-
ficatton, hundreds of Government
employees are joining unions for con.
certed opposition, If necessary, to the
reclassification board, 1t was disclosed
today,
Nonunion employees in certain Gov
eminent positions, it was learned,
are banding together and are rigor-
ously discussing the subject of re.
classification at periodical meetings.
Should any adverse action be taken
by the Reconsideration board 1t is
expected that these will affiliate
with the unions Immediately.
1000 Go To Unions.
At least 1000 Government workers
have Joined locals of the National
Federation OF Federal Employees
since the reclassification law went
into effect, according to Major ]. Q.
0. Braden, organizer of the en-
ployes' union.
But classification is not wholly
responsible for the movement of the
employees towards the unions, Major
Braden pointed out. A desire for
retirement laws is also a factor,
asserted the organizer.
Value Of Unions Realized.
More and more, the Federal EN-.
ployes realize the unions mission"
declared Major Braden. "Unfortu.
nately, many Of the Government
employees have heretofore underesti-
mated the value of a union. and
have consequently neglected getting
into one. With the unions work
more apparent every day, the Gov
eminent employees are becoming
reconclleH to it and are joining in
large numbers"
