"Oh, so it's fun you're after. Well,
I guess your friend can't drill for oil:
today. I have to go down and get a
pair of gloves changed and you'll have
to stay at home and take care of
Brother. I've been cleaning and 1
haven't had time to take him out, and
he ought to have a little fresh air.
You can take him for walk. I won't
be gone long"
oh, doggone It, moml I don't wanta
take him out. He just pokeS along and
he cries every time he falls down, and
then he gets his leggins dirty and I get
heck and everything"
Nom was thoughtful at this.
Jimmy, looking out OF the tail OF his
eye, noticed Say, he was getting pretty
good, wasn't hel That certainly was
an inspiration about the leggins. He
knew how his mother fused over wash
ing them.
Suddenly, however, that lady has an
inspiration of her own.
"You can take him in his cart, then.
No, don't make such face, and stop
ashamed. I'd think you'd be proud of
nice little brother like"
"Oh, I am! I ami Put on his things

Jimmy Jones Hush this minute!

again. You're going to take Baby in

cream puffS for supper. haven't time
to make any dessert. The rest OF the
dinners In the oven."
Mrs. Jones unlocked the front door
as the clock struck s. Mr.. Jones had
not come home yet and the house was
pitch dark. She smelled the savory
warm odor of the roast--thank goodness
1t wasn't burned. But where was JIM
my-and the baby?
She switched on the lights and called
loudly: Jimmy! Are you home? An

Anybody here?"
No answer.
She opened the door again and looked

was getting cold and windy, with little
splits of snow. Where could those chill

She thought of the cream puffs. The

Yes, Jimmy had been there and gone

overblouse, is Of lighter shade of
and black check tussah.
IT is in the wool as well as the silk
crepe ensembles that you will find
many variations of the popular cardi-
gan. The latest is the adaptation of
mans tuxedo. It is the one button
closing at the waistline which gives 1t
its similarity, for the collar may be
squared or notched as well, or it may
show the slender roll Of the tuxedo.
The rounded fronts give the raised-in-
the-front movement.
With the plain fabrics, the woolens
and the silks, crepes and failles you will
find many blouses of the prints. And
here the dots, checks and plaids seem
to be preferred to the floral designs
which will have their innings later
Many of them are sleeveless or have the
little pulled sleeves. Some show a deep
pleated cape collar which falls over the
round of the arm and serves as an
apology for a sleeve. One very interest
ing blouse of navy and white checked
tussah extends below the waistline in
the front, in a deep rounded v finished
with a 2-inch pleated frill. This line
is repeated on the navy blue fiat crepe
skirt by deeper pleated frill. But the
unusual feature of the blouse is the g.
inch band of the checked silk attached
at either side of the blouse underneath
to keep the overblouse from riding up
in front The pleated collar is brought
out over the collarless cardigan jacket
to serve as a coat collar.
While you will find wool crepes in
the muted tones and the more subtle
pastels, fiat crepes are smartest in rich
colors, a bright billiard green, indie
pendence blue, tomato red. There are
also the tones which Lelong has grayed
Of which blue and green are favoritcs.

Me-l Now Know
About HOuseWOrk

There are still some men, no doubt,
who feel that it is beneath their precious
dignity to help clear of table, wash or
dry dish or dress or battle one of their
own children. But the number of them
is getting smaller.
"At last our husbands, brothers and
men friends are beginning to realize
that there aren't any servants. What
is more, the" cheerfully take off their
coats, roll I, their sleeves and set to
work to ..-,p Eve with the dishes And
all this without being aSked! These
words are quoted from a writer in a
popular English woman's magazine.
And Englishmen before the war were
of all men the least willing to help with
any sort Of houseWork. The point now
seems to be with the we'll bred American
that if he cannot afford to provide his
wife with enough money to hire serv-
ants then he should make up to her by
helping with the work. If he cannot
give her enough money to hire washer
woman, or to send the washing to the
laundry, then he must help do 1t him
self, and surprisingly large number of
the younger generation of young mar
ried men does help in this way. though
you'll notice that they mind it much
less when there is an electric washing
machine. If there is any disgrace about
the matter anywhere, it must be in not
being able to earn enough money to
send clothes to the laundry or to hire
laundress. Certainly the idle dignity
gained by letting a wife do the heavy
work is of little value to the consider
ate American husband nowadays.
One of the best results of this, &C
cording to reports, is that now men are
finding out that housework is not such
nice, cozy, easy work as they have
thought. Many a man goes eagerly
back to his regular job on Monday
morning. willing to admit that looking
after 2-year-old child is no invalid's
job, or that getting and ungetting meals
is really not the dainty occupation it
has long been considered by the sterner
sex

Smoother Fabrics
Appear for Spring

Woolens that look like silks. and silks
that look like woolens, and cottonS
which can be substituted for both make
the fabric situation at the same time
interesting and complicated. There are
numerous novelties in which silk and
wool are combined, wool and rayon, silk
and rayon, and cotton and rayon. An
other striking characteristic of the
Spring fabric collections is the wide
spread use of faconne motifs. This
means that instead of plain silks and
woolens we shall see many with neat
self-patterns.
In the new tweedS nubbed effects
have largely disappeared. The Spring
edition has smoother surface, Is thin
ner and more tightly woven. Many of
them are woven in the designs of mems
Suitings.
Wool crepes have all the quality, APP
pearance and weight of silk crepes, and
lend themselves to the same treatment.
The newest versions of jerseys are like
wool lace, knitted in many different
patterns. Cotton and Isle meshes are
enjoying a high rating for sports shirts
and short-sleeved tuck-ins.
The insistent demand for the tailor
made suit is bringing back with 1t
serges, twills and tricotines. Mannish
shirtings are competing with standings
for the preferred place in sports silks.
Stripes. plaids, checks and dots in self
coloringS on crepe ground are made
into a 1890 version Of the shirt-waist
dress. Standings in many variations
are used for suits as well as sports
dresses.
Silk is also exploited in the tailor
type suits, especially crepes. The new
est Of the prints are lace designs print
ed In black on very light-colored chlf-
fonS which are eagerly seized upon for
formal afternoon and evening costumes.
Cottons, too, are woven to look like
woolens and are handled like woolenS
in the same way. Crash tweeds, sham
lungs, piques. both plain and printed,
sudanette, and heavy linens are made
up in severe tailor-type suits and dresses.
Organdie, handkerchief linen. batiste,
particularly eyelet embroidered, printed
nets and the sheerest and finest Of cot
tons are poisoning forth In picturesque
and dainty formal afternoon and sve-
ming dresses.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-01-19

"A lengthen and the wind be-
| wv gins to strengthen We may
| need to wear our warmest
clothes but our thoughts
turn to lighter. gayer, more springlike
clothes. There are days in late jan
uary or early February when no matter
how cold or windy or gloomy the weather
may be we feel need for new clothes
| of some sort.
We are not content to satisfy this
| Midwinter interest in new clothes
merely by making plans for Spring
| clothes and this Is perhaps because
plans are carried out more quickly now
than they used to be. If we buy clothes
ready made-as the majority of women
is done for us; and even If we make
them ourselves we are not content to
spend weeks selecting materials and
trimmings and more weeks cutting and
fitting and sewing.
In most parts of the country 1t is
rather foolish actually to wear Spring
clothes before the end of March or the
first Of April. The sensible thing at
this time Of the year is to make the
best of ones Winter wardrobe as 1t ac-
tually outstanding to it certain new
accessories and dress or two-possibly
a hat-of the between-Season sort. A
little time and a little money spent In
replenishing the Winter wardrobe will
satisfy your desire for new things and
will provide you with clothes that are
really suitable to the season and the
weather.
ONE of the most useful additions to
the Midwinter wardrobe that any
woman can make is o practical dress
of lightweight silk to wear under the
Winter fur or cloth coat. / am sure you
will be delighted with the new printed
silks, which have already been welcomed
with enthusiasm, partly because of the
fact that during the last few months
plain materials have prevailed.
Many of these new silks show floral
patterns, rather small, trim designs
with daisies or other garden flowers on
dark or neutral background. There
is something youthful and trim about
these new printed silk dresses, the
smartest of which are made with even
hemline and normal waistline. There
are no uneven skirt draperies to hang
in untidy ends below the coat and the
skirts usually hang only four or flve
inches below the knees. Cuffs and COL
lars of soft, fine lingerie contribute to
their becomingneSs.
To wear under your Winter coat for
luncheon or afternoon bridge parties,
or even for office wear, you may choose
one of the new two-piece suits made Of
silk or lightweight wool. Beneath the
short jacket you may wear sleeveless
or long-sleeved blouse of the sort that
may be washed and ironed. These new
suits show even hemlineS.
If you are fortunate enough to have
new evening gown among the pos
sible additions to your wardrobe at the
present time, you may wisely select one
of the new printed chifYons. These.
like the silk prints for daytime wear,
show flowers designs: only those for
the evening are usually larger and
more boldly conceived. with graceful
handling of leaves and foliage.
A MONG the new silk fabrics for
late Winter and Spring there are
many printed f:conness. These are
materials shc'-inC c:;--n mo~ctcce de-

signs with colored printed designs
spaced between or overlapping the
woven designs.
There are lightweight wool sweaters
designed for Southern wear that are a
practical addition to any woman's Mid
winter wardrobe. The newest of these
sweaters show a round neckline, I'm
ished with rubbing that gives it snug
fit and the sleeves ending just above
the elbows also have a rim of ribbing.
The favorite type of sweater is made
in tuck-in length, with band of rib
ing at the waistline. This may be worn
beneath the skirt belt or, if you prefer,
may be worn in slip-on fashion. The
sweater fits snugly across the Shout
ders and has just enough fullness
through the body to produce slight
blouse effect when worn tucked in.
Almost all the sports clothes for re-
sort wear show the new shorter-than-
elbow sleeves. There are new linen
shirts to be worn with linen shorts for
beach wear or with tailored sports
jackets suit, and these also show the
straight, short sleeve.

Shall Heels Be
Lower or Higher?

Experts disagree concerning the
proper sort of heels this season. While
on the one hand there are those who
insist that with the new simmer, longer
lines in dresses, the heels worn in the
evening SHOULD be only moderately high
there are others who hold that the
longer the dress the higher should be
the heel.
Those opposed to the higher heels
say that they cause the body to tilt
forward in way that detracts from the
graceful lines of the new drapery and
those who favor high heels say that
the new long lines demand them in
order to give added height to the figure
and daintiness to the foot
1t is quite possible to get shoes that
will satisfy either demand, as there are
new evening and afternoon slippers
with the shorter high heels and others
with heels full three inches in height.

BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.--In a
spirit Of helpfulnesS, MIR. Vincent
Richards, who became Q profes-
gionaI almost Immediately after
he discovered that being a gentle
man was not nearly as satiSfac.
tory as being victualed with reg
Slarity, offers to show the tennis
association today where it can
save q lot of time with its pro
posed open championship next
September.
BY using his methods, it can
ignore the first four rounds al
together and start right in with
the semi.finalS. MIR. Richards,
who seems to know all Of the
answers, isn't going so far as to
pick the ultimate winner; only
the ultimate loser.
The latter, says he, Is an anna
Eeur who is sufficiently ill-advised
as to get in there with the un.

the latter, having generously

In the second, haven't in years

offer to match Harvey Snodgrass

"I'll be glad to take an excep

man. "Cochet is one of the fou1
