FASHION FLASHES
BY Anne Anglin.

Brown Thread Sews itself
into the smartness of a one
piece dress of brown and white
woolen, which has an all-over
design of embroidery in brown
thread. A tiny detachable cape,
brown suede belt and white
crepe de chine collars and cuffs
are delightfully."- new touches.

accurate name for a lorgnette

platinum with pearlstudded

Another important reason for
their return is that they fit
In perfectly with this new fitted
silhouette. With the waistline
down about the hips, as its been
for several years. it was impos
sible to wear skirts and blouscs,
30 this year is really the first
that many of the younger grown
ups have had a chance to adopt
the comforts Of skirts and
blouSes.
It's a practical fashion, as
well as a smart one right now,
for often the same blouses you
wear with your suit can be
worn with a separate skirt, Civ
ing a much wider variety to your
wardrobe. Also, the new skirts
are not expensive, and a very
good costume can be assembled
at a modest price.
These skirts are in sports
and street types, entirely. The
vogue has not spread to the
afternoon mode at all. so far.
They are nearly all of the type
that can be worn with either
tuck-in or overblouse. The bodice
top skirt has almost disap.
peared from smart circles. They
are fitted tightly about the hips,
come into the normal waist
line, and flare low. They achieve
this effect either by means Of
stitched plaits, cores, or by full-
ness below a yoke top.
These skirts are the kind that
the French dreSSmakers love to
create, so many of our best
skirts are copied from their de-
signs.
OF the skirts we are sketch
ing today from a Washington
store, one is a Jane Regny
copy, one a Chanel copy and
the yoke-top skirt is the type
that many dreSSmakers are
sponsoring.
They are usually made of
flannel, covert or a soft wool
crepe. Flannel is spoken Of as
the faVorlte for summer. They
are worn with blouses of nearly
any smart fabric, pique, silk
crepe, batiste, linen.
The new skirts are in any
good color that may be worn
for sports or street, navy,
lighter blues, green, beige, grey.
Several very light beige tones
such as banana or biscuit are
shown in one sports shop.

making it a lazy mind.
And, too, a child needs periods
of thought silence, just as we
all do. We can't change thoughts,
inject new ideas constantly
without periods wherein we as
sort them and catalogue them
and file them away to ponder
over. Mothers complain that
children ask endless questions,
yet I feel that If it we're made
into a give and take proposition
the questions would soon show
more sincerity and definite

Will This Friendship
Remain PIatOnic?


Dear Miss Fairfax:
To make a long story short. /
have found a man who wants 10
be a friend at all times in the
truest sense of the word. We
take in all the things that the
average young people do, but
with the sole intention of enjoy
ing each others company. His
work is of the type that makes
it possible for me to help him
often-and this I do to the oest
of my ability. For a while we
did kiss each other good night,
but when he asked if it was
necessary for our friendship, I
answered. No"
I'll admit that at first l felt
pangs of regret, but more and
more it seems to me that it was
best. For this friend I stopped
doing several things. among
them smoking; I know of no
other human being for whom l
would do as much. My friend is
the type of man I wish more
girls could know, sensible,
straightforward, earnest and
honest-an honest-to-goodneSs
pal. This letter may make some
girls laugh, and think 1 don't
have fun. I'll match them, and
I'll bet them my kind of fun
proves to be the best. 1 wish I
could give all girls the real hap
pineSS that is mine now. j.
This letter almost answers
itself. These young people seem
to be so happy in the type of
friendship they have found.
And if they should happen to
fall in love with each other
later. that would only be follow.

friendship often points the way.

Concentrated Food For Tom Junior
NUTRITION SPECIALIST J0 TIE
NATIONAL DAIRY COUNCIL

Keeping Tom Junior in clothes
was almost as difficult a problem
for Father Briggs as satisfying his
adolescent appetite was for Mrs.
Briggs. Tom was growing like
weed-his appetite seemed to grow
thought. Mrs. Briggs realized the
tremendously high needs of grow
ing children and planned his food
accordingly.
Since the close of the basket
ball season, Tom went out for
track practice every night after
school. Il try to have supper ready
the minute he gets home" Mother
Briggs remarked to Grandma
Briggs who was visiting her sons
family for a week.
That's the best way to keep
Youngsters from lunchlng, all
right" retorted Grandma-wise In
the way of young sons.
"Dr. John and I were talking
about diets the other day, and he
said that boys between Ii and 10
require almost twice as much food
as the average grownup. That
means 1000 to 5000 calories."
UNLESS you feed child concen-
trated foods, you may be starving
him" replied Grandma, "even If he
eats as much as his stomach can
hold"
That's why Tom gets concen-
trated foods like butter, eggs
cheese, milk, cream, maralade and
butter cookies" said his mother.
Don't forget the peanut butter"
laughed Grandma, I've never seen
the likes of Tom when it comes to
eating peanut butter"
Mrs. Briggs frequently served
cheese and egg dishes because they
are high in energy value.

Bride-Elect Dies From Fumes of
Gas

A romance that began with a
pair of childhood sweethearts end
ed in tragedy in Minneapolis Fri
day in the gas filled basement
laundry of a bungalow that was to
have been a home.
Jennie Peterson, 40, is dead and
Herman Samuelson, 40, whom she
was to have married next week is
arranging for her funeral instead
of the wedding.
The two grew up together on ad-
joining farms, Samuelson came to
Minneapolis and saved his money
for the wedding. Last week the
bungalow that was to have been
their home was completed.
Jennie did not come home last
night. Today Samuelson searched
for her. He found her body on the
floor of the new bungalow laun-
dry. Death was accidental, the
corner reports. A gust of wind had
extinguished the flame of a gas
burner that the bride-to-be was
thought to have been trying out.

Purity of Drinking Water
So Easily OBSERVABLE
Campers And Tourists are Urged
to Take a Good Look at Spring
Water

st. Paul, May 14-Drink hearty!
But take a good look at the
spring or stream from which you
would drink. And after a good
long look, play safe-take a sip
from the thermos bottle or trusty
old canteen of pure water you have
hauled from home.
This is the gist of a warning
issued to campers by the Educa-
tional Committee of the Minnesota
State Medical Association made
especially emphatic because of the
reported low and stagnant water
conditions in many sections of the
state.
While there may not be a real
tough disease germ in any thous-
and of Minnesotas ten thousand
lakes, the medical scientists advise
particularly close attention on the
part of thirsty campers this year.

With the end of the school year
bulletin today from the association
points out, thousands of families
are starting on the summer camp
ing.
The great health record of Min
nesota, it is noted, is beyond any
doubt largely due to the splendid
summer and fall in the land of
lakes. To make the most of the
outdoor life be sure of your drink
ing water they warn.
To avoid distress, or the pos
sibility of actual disease, from
drinking polluted water the doctors
advise the use only of water from
sources known to be safe. When
in strange woods try drop or two
of iodine in every pail of water no
mater how clear it looks.That will
almost certainly assure one that
ones drink is safe, the bulletin
