simple two-piece jumper suit, which
still permits the straight line, the fig
ure is clearly defined In all of the lat
est models. This is one of the logical
Developments of the higher waistline.
As the waistline creeps up it arrives
at a point where the natural body
curves in, and so the cersage above
it must mold the figure In order to
look in keeping.
Several of the most famous houses
are using the waistline that is fairly
low on the hips at the back and slopes
up in front to finish in the center with
a jeweled motif or buckle With this
line the skirt below usually has a full
flare at the front and sides. This
silhouette is particularly approved by
Lucien Lelong, who fits in with his
conception OF the kinetic or moving
outline. The front and side flares are
used with impartiality by this house
and several others, while still others
favor all-rOund godets or group Of
plaitS or other kind Of fullness at
the back to give the new back fare
that forms the bird-like silhouette
sponsored by Premet, Martial ct Ar
mand and some of the more conserv-
alive houses.
Explaining the choker Neck.
The high neckline, offered originally
with some show of virtue by the Paris
couture, is one of the interesting phe-
nomena Of the current season. 1t is
not the sole smart neckline of the au-
tumn models, as the bateau and lines
have also made frequent appearances,
but in popularity 1t easily leads all the
rest.
The principal reason for the high
neckline according to its sponsors and
wearers, is to preserve the symphony
of the silhouette. What with short
skirts and the hemline fare, q low
neck would create silhouette gro
tesquely short and totally untitled for
any but the most willowy types. They
point it out, too, as symptom of the
rising tide of fashion-high hemline,
higher waistline and the choker neck.
Both are logical enough reasons.
We have suspicion, however, that
milady's attraction for the new neck
line has a more psychological basis.
Here is q mode which is long, indis-
erect step ahead of its pre-war pre-
decessors And a notable percentage
OF the ladies who exploit it were once
STEPPED in the inhibitions of a decade
and more ago. Along comes the high
Ideckline, which would have been mod
est even in those prim days-and what
more natural than that milady should
succumb to the habit and training OF
her earlier days. "Call me immodest,"
she tells the ghost Of her Victorian self
Took at this choker neck and for
ever hold your peace" It's the phil
esophy OF the ostrich who buries his
head In the sand and thinks thereby
chat he is entirely hidden, but 1t is
thoroughly sufficient unto this day.

EXTEND RURAL SUPERVISION

The assistant State superintendent
of Maryland, in a recent bulletin is
sued by the State department of
education, states: professional
supervision is proving itself to be
the biggest factor in the solution of
the rural school problem in this
State" Maryland's experience is
reasonably typical of that of other
States having statewide superv1-
sion of rural schools and should be
an incentive to States not having
such supervision to initiate it. In
Maryland there are As supervisors
at work-at least one in each of the
States % counties. Supervision Of
rural schools has been practiced for
several years, therefore the judg-
ment expressed is based on sufficient
experience to assure its value.
County superintendents in States
in which no supervisory assistants
are available find that their numer-
Gus Administrative duties render it
impossible to give due attention to
the way in which teachers teach the
various school subjects; and that
children waste time and fail to make
adequate progress in their school
work. The appointment Of rural
supervisors is a necessary measure |
if school work is to be up to stand
ard in the small rural schools. Su-
pervisors help teachers in many !
ways. They select and arrange for +
teaching purposes topics from the
text books in use; discover childrens !
needs through the use Of standard
lied and informal tests; plan work
to meet the needs and strengthen
the weakness of the children; teach
classes illustrating ways of obtain
ing whlole-hearted participation from
children considered Indifferent or
dull by the regular teacher. In a
word, rural supervision is of such
direct benefit to rural school chill
dren that its extension is a matter
of the utmost Importance to parents
and all citizens interested in rural
welfare.

OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN
Alice A. Keen .... ...

This is a problem which every
mother has to deal with at one time
or anOther-Other peoples children
Your own boys and girls are within
your knowledge, amendable to the
rules of your making, their actions
in q measure, predictable, but those
other children who come to the
house after school or on Saturdays
going from room to room with wide
inquisitiYe eyes, using strange
slang, suggesting wild, unaccus-
TONED games-it is evident that
they have been trained by an en-
tirely different set of rules or by
none at all.
1t was then the children started
school and began picking up a
wider acquaintance that this prob
lem of other peoples children first
came to YeX me. Then 1 gave the
matter a good deal of serious consi-
deration. To solve it in tactful,
goOd-natured way-that was what
1 wanted to do.
1t was all wrong, 1 knew, for my
house to be so rudely Overrun, up
set and demoralized by such unre-
strained, and often destructive, hill
arity. Not always could 1 be at
home to check its progress. Nor
was it right that such a guardian
should be necessary.
When people sOjourn in a foreign
country, L reasoned, they come un-
der the jurisdiction of that country.
And, surely, it should be the same
with households and rules of house
holds. The children who came into
my home to enjoy its privileges, its
attractive games and books, should
be amendable, while there, to the
same rules that governed my own
children.
And that, thought I, is a rule
that works both ways.
So, in the first place, 1 told my
children that when they went into
other homes they should propose
that was contrary to the
rules of the place.
And, L added with some foresight, |
f there seem to be no rules, act ac-
3ording to the ones we have here at |
home and you won't be very far
rom right.
Then, so as to have everything
clear and well-defined in
ny own little democracy, the chill
Iren and 1 made a list of rules
which typed in capitals and placed
onspicuously on the kitchen wall.
Here are some of them:
When not at the dining-room ta-
lie, all eating must be done in the
itchen.
Clean hands for clean books.
Feet must be kept off upholstered
lair seats.
Rough games to be played out-of- {
lOrs.
Of course there were others, but :
i pertaining to those little nice I
es of behavior that make our chill
zen more comfortable to live with
nd require from them only a lit
e ordinary thoughtfulness.
