Short Glove for Sleeveless Frock
BY MARY MARSHALL.

tends at least over the wrist and
forearm would be most graceful. but
fashion favors the very short glove
with frilled cuffs for the sleeveless
frock, possibly because the effect is
rather amusing.
One of the smart glove shops in
Paris offers gloves that are exact
or as exact as possible-replicas OF
gloves worn by the fashionable
ladies of the reign of Louis XIV. They
have a very short wrist section, one
button and flaring cuff made of
petals of the kid.
The pull-on type of glove that has
been favored by well dressed woman
in America for several seasons still
has many admirers, but both in Paris
and London this type of glove
which is made without button or
snapper-is very often supplied with
d bit of rubber sewn in on the under
side, to secure a close fit about the
wrist.

Too Anxious.
the world is that of the girl who is
overanxious to please.
She makes ones heart ache-she' s
SO pathetically anxious to do the
right thing. make the right impression
and attract the right boys.
If only a lecture could be written
strong enough to convince the mis-
guided maidens that no amount of
effort on their part will do them bit
of good as long as the effort is visible!
Poor Clara is one of those over
anxious people. She's the kindest
soul in the world, not bad looking,
but rather slow and awkward.
She's had bad time. lived all
alone and had few friends. Now
she's coming out into the world and
trying to make friends.
Self-conscious about her social
handicaps, she strives to please until
she puts every ones nerves on edge
and makes all those whom she would
delight most desperately uncomfort-
able.
She hears the other girls exchange
"raZzes" with the boys, so she essays
a fresh remark or two.
Whatever she says Is probably the
most harmless thing in the world
Just a very gentle knock that Wouldn't
hurt anybody. But the instant She
sprung it her face becomes crimson
and she looks anxiously at the butt
of her criticism.
"Oh. dear. do hope haven't hurt
your feelings she cries. Il didn I
mean a word of it You're not angry
are YOU
Nav" replies Tom, Dick or Harry.
I'm used to hard knocks. You can't
hurt my tough feelings"
"Oh, | never meant to make il as
bad as knock-just friendly slam -
she tells him with self-conscious
laugh. Sure you're not mad"
Forget it," he advises her. good
naturedly but shortly
That convinces Clara that he is per-
fectly furious. She bites her lip and
looks pitifully abject.
If only some kind soul would go
over to her and shake her, and tell
her to snap out OF that attitude of
hers. Clara would have good time
some day.
But as long as she continues TO
make it painfully apparent that she s
on the edge of desperation, trying to

will pass her by.
It's the good natured. nonchalant
and calmly assured young person who
walks away with the honors today.
You may have the sweetest. most
loving disposition in the world. but
if YOU don't acquire poise and as
surance your good disposition will be
lost on those who know you.
The girl who's dying to make peo-
pie like her scares them away. They
feel that If she had any friends she
wouldn't be so nervous about making
new ones. And they suspect that If
she hasn't friends it must be because
she's a fiat tire.
Don't let others suspect just how
hard you're working to gain their
friendship.

little car, going to parties. entertain

next moment she was facing poverty.
First had come the death of her
mother, and then before she had a
chance to recover from that blow she
had learned the terrible truth. There

Leila was crushed and bewildered at
the double blow. Money had never
meant anything to her. She had never
given any thought to it aside from
the fact that it bought things one
wanted. That it had to be earned had
never occurred to her, and this ter.

poned, Probably Until Session
Opens in December.

Meetings Of the joint congressional
committee entrusted with considera'
ton of radio legislation, which were
expected to be held in Washington
this week, have been postponed, prob.
ably until the opening of Congress
next month, it was learned today.
Although never officially announced.
it was understood that plans for pre-.
December conferences Of the commit.
tee were being made so that an
agreement between the House and
Senate might be reached by the time
Congress was ready to get down to
business in December. A prediction
that this would be the case was made
by Senator Dill, sponsor Of radio
legislation in the Senate, at the radio
industries banquet in August.
Failure to arrange for such meet
ings is understood generally to mean
that Congress, as a whole, is con-
vinced that passage of permanent
radio legislation is impossible at its
coming session and that a substitute
temporary measure will be rushed
through.
Representative Wallace E. White
of Maine, author of the radio bill now
before the conference committee, ex-
planned today that he had received
no notice of a conference committee,
and that it appears unlikely the con-
ferees will get together before Con-
gress convenes.
