GILBERT SC0RNS RUM0R
Jack Thinks Remarriage Story May
Be "Exaggeration."
By United Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, Dec. 25.-
John Gilbert, screen actor, was at
his home here today, inclined to
treat reports of a\visit to the east,
in connection with a possible re-
newed romance with his divorced
wife, Ina Claire, as an "exaggera-
ton"
He did not comment on the re-
ported romance, but made it plain
it was physically impossible for him
to spend Christmas with Miss
Claire, who is in the east. Friends
said remarriage plans were lust
another rumor."

MILD WEATHER
Mercury Far Over Maxi
mum for Christmas.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-It will be a
green Christmas over the greater
part of the central United States,
weather forecasterS said today.
Though the recent unreasonable
warmth which set Strawberries to
growing and bees to swarming has
been abated somewhat, the weather
remains mild.
The government weather service
reported that, with exception of
northern Wisconsin, Minnesota,
parts of the Dakotas, and upper
Michigan, the central states we're
barren of snow.
Temperatures will remain in the
forties and f1fties, far above the
usual maximum, forecasters said.
Over most of the country fair
weather was predicted.
By United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Mild
weather ushered in Christmas along
the eastern Seaboard today.
Temperatures were the highest
ever recorded for this time of the
year in many places. Only in the
mountainous districts was snow re-
ported, and there only trace.

Petticoats and Slips

THERE are no radical changes In
= silhouette to be noted in the new
evening dresses. The waist line Is nor
NAL, with an occasional tendency to go
little above normal. Hips are nat and
smooth with the accustomed flare that
starts somewhere between the lower
line of the hips and the knees. One may
wear ruffies, which sometimes appear
over the knees and sometimes at the
lower part Of the skirt. There is always
fullness at the hem of the skirt. but the
exaggerated fare Is seldom seen.
There are very long skirts for eve
ming, but these are usually of sheer
materials worn over slip or founda-
ton that ends at the ankles, and the
dress that frankly ends at the ankles
is by no means rare, even for formal
| evening"
The slip or petticoat is usually part
of the dress and by no means the least
important consideration. For dance
| frocks it may be. made in wrap-around
effect so as 30 provide ample width
without excessive fuilness. Lace dresses
are worn over satin slips or fcunda-
tions, sometimes edged with lace.
Point d'esprit appears over founda-
ton that combines taffeta and tulle.
Chiffon appears over crepe de chine
petticoat with taffeta ruffles. Organdie
is worn over ruffled taffeta. Often the
slip or petticoat ends a few inches
Evening star., 1931-05-27

above the edge of the skirt, but occa-
sionally the arrangement is reversed
and the lace edge of the petticoat may
peep beneath the hem of the skirt.
Despite the fact that French dress
makers of Importance are still making
evening gowns of the extremely low
back sort, the so-called modest decol-
letage is the one that will be most
approved for Summer evening wear.
Covered shoulders are in order There
may be short puffed sleeves-almost
always flattering detail. There may
be scarf arrangement to drape the
shoulders or little jacket. The square
decolletage is frequently seen, the
bodice being cut at right angles to the
shoulder straps. Occasionally the
square line appears at the back as well
as the front. v necklines are perhaps
most usual and there is an increasing
use Of the v effect at the back as well
as the frcnt. Sometimes the v is
slightly modified to make an attrac-
tive u neckline.
Here and there a dress of princess
type breaks the rule that belts and
girdles are always essential. We may
see more of the princess type as time
goes on, but for the present girdles Of
some sort are all but essential. You
may tie sash at the right side in a
knot with ends or in a bow with two
loops and ends Of uneven length.

Faultfnders.

Faultanders are not always danger
GUS persons. You may well afford to
associate with them and listen to their
faultfinding. At least for while. Much
OF the ordinary faultfinding that goes
on In this world should be regarded as
indications that the faultfinder Is still
alive. He is as often as not merely
expressing a few ideals which he has
not yet attained. Most faultfndings
should be regarded as theories-uncon-
scious mental movements toward per-
fection.
OF course, there is something to be
said on the other side of the question.
Chronic faultfnders are really sick per-
sons. They have fallen i'll with their
own sense of incompetence, their own
morbid fears. After a while chronic
faulthnders begin to deteriorate men,
tally. They invite criticisms. They
try to keep them in mind. They even
go so far as to take notes on them.
The next step in the deteriorating
process might be called philosophical
pessimism. The now very sick idealist
turns from men and things to condi-
tions in general. In unguarded mo-
mentS he expresses delusionS of perse-
cution.

NE-HOLE LAYOUT.
SHORT BUT TRICKY
Built in Wooded Ground and
Permits of Use of AIT
of Iron Clubs.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~HICAGO. August 5.-Night
4 golf Of q practical kind
~ now is being played In
Wilmette, one of Chicago's
North Shore suburbs. As an add
ton to the Wilmette Country Club,
Robert Cunningham has built a
nine-hole course that is 1905
yards In length and permits the
use OF all the iron clubs from a
No. 2 to q niblick.
The holes vary In length from rs to
l65 yards.
The ground on which the course Is
built Is heavily wooded and the fair
ways, that average Is feet In width,
are built through aisles of trees The
greens are very large, well contoured,
undulating and all are targeted. All OF
the greens are heavily trapped, and ae-
curacy Is the imperative demand.
Both fairways and green's are of
creeping bent and, shot from the fair
ways can be hit in exactly the same
way as on q regulation course.
The course Is Illuminated with las
lamps of 1000 watts apiece and mag
nifled with le-inch projectors. The
lights are swung from nine towers that
vary In height from SIS to IS feet. This
battery Of nluminators provide perfect
visibility, and the ball can be followed
quite rs well as In broad daylight.
The artificial illumination makes the
holes very deceptive on first acquaint-
ance. and even professionals are guilty
OF Understanding the ball.
