History Repeats Itself In Spring Dresses

La d y ike characteristics
soften the outlines of street
and afternoon dresses. All
are so carefully made that
the workmanship really
forms a trimming for the
dress. Handwork finishes
many of them, not only in
embroidery but in hard
rolled hens, which always
gives the garment a finer
air. There are so many diff
ferent species of frocks that
every woman will be able
to find her type this spring.

Statuesque
SilhOuettes

Spring frocks are shown
in seven different silhouettes.
The bell, while not entirely
new still enjoys first place
as a fashion. This begins
from the fitted hip line and
flares gently into a grace
full fullness at the bottom.
1t traces its ancestry back
to Queen Victoria and the
Gay Nineties. Pleats, godets,
circular flounces, tiers and
old-fashioned "gores" form
this silhouette. This line is
maintained even when the
skirt is a succession Of tiers.
Patou, Chanel and Lanvin
among others, sponsor this
silhouette.

It's a season of colored
dresses. For once colors,
softly bright, transcend over
classic black. Blue is first
choice in every tone from
"baby" blue to the newest
shade of all. "skipper" blue,
which is a bit brighter than
navy. We find grey de-
cidedly popular, too. Beige
is another important spring
color, then come red, green,
yellow, bittersweet and pas
tel tints. Brown is expected
to increase in popularity as
the season advances.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

The rustling of ruffles and
the frou-frou of petticoats
(they re underneath 1t all
again) usher in the new
frocks. They prove their in
dividuality by their many
different silhouettes. They
are all charmingly different.
This makes it possible for
every woman to choose a
frock especially for herself.

Famous Ladies
Live Again

We find the bell silhouette,
the great-grandchild of the
nineties, without the "over-
stuffed" look of that time.
That same period bequeaths
the hustle, which is seen in
modified form on some
gowns. Then there are
peplums and tunics they
were wearing when Olympia
was the height of all glory.
These modes are becoming to
every type figure. Empress

felt in the fuller. skirt with

times a bolero or jacket is
simulated, but the jacket sill

which can be worn sepa-

find printed frocks wit h

a frock in three shades of

Temper Storms of Children
Often Problem for Mother

lesson Of control as we have, and
quickly show signs of tension.
The strain may not be an I'M
happy one, but no matter what the
cause of it, few children can weather
many days of chaos without some
sort of storm.
Depend on Child
The way such nerve storms have
of breaking depends on the nature
of the child. An unhappy child by
nature may go into spells of crying
or melancholy. For that matter
even happy child, upset by con-
tinued deviation of routine, also
may cry suddenl or become i'll and
lose his meals.
Another type of child may sud-
denly fly off at tangent and have
a temper tantrum, and the motor
type who merely is healthily mis-
chievous may now go to extremes
in his experiments that he would
not think of doing under normal
circumstances.
When children are out of school.
when the regular routine of their
strain of the holidays is on, it
would be very unusual if they be-
hayed normally for an unlimited
period.
A mother now may be puzzled
by demonstrations OF conduct alb
solutely out of the ordinary.
But she must remember that
nerves are physical things, not
piano strings, and their protest is
altogether likely to take a form she
Is entirely unfamiliar with.
A wise mother will not take too
much notice of any ternperamental
shortcomings among the children
during the holidays.
She will say to herself, 'It is ONLY
temporary" and not be too serious
ly concerned because her children
have developed all sorts of odd
forms of behavior.
Look at Rest of Family
But at the same time she might
look into conditions a little. Is the
house itself demoralized? Are the
hours the same? The meals on
time?
Are the nerves and tempers of
the older members of the family
all they should be? Nothing is
more apt to affect children than
the emotions and behavior of their
elders.
There can be happiness with
out confusion. And if the children
are causing alarm by topsy-turvy
behavior, little readjustment
higher up might help a lot.

THERE are tricks to every trade,
Il and making up the eyes is no
exception.
A touch of rouge to the lids, a
very gentle touch, may give a
healthy glow and make the eyes
look bigger. But this must be done
skillfully or you will give the i'm
preston of inflamed eyes.
AS a last finishing touch, a touch
of rouge at the very inner corner
of the top eyelid often gives the
eyes themselves a brilliance other
wise missed.
Jade eye shade may do wonders
for the very fair, fragile blond.

Just
EUey:
Day
Sense

MISS ALICE SMITH, head of
IVA the probation bureau of the
woman's court of New York City,
warns clubwomen to keep their
hands off the vice inquiry which
has grown out of the recent
scandalous disclosures from that
quarter.
Few clubwomen," says Miss
Smith, ARE trained in social well
fare. They therefore are not quail
flied to give constructive critic
ism"
There are two sides to this, as
TO every other question. Granted
that a good many clubWomen
know nothing whatever about the
courts, they often are inclined to
see questions from one angle only
and that angle is likely to be an
emotional and often quite an i'm
practical one.
Still it is quite as true that
good many people connected with
social welfare work or the courts
see nothing beyond bare facts or
ordinary legal procedure To a
social service worker, every in
dividual finally becomes g. cease"
To a lawyer, mankind is divided
into two classes, the plaintiffs
and the defendants.
II
a NYWAY, it's quite bad adj
L n vice that Miss Smith gives.
Every intelligent citizen of this
country should take more of an
interest in the workings of it's
courts, and I can not exempt
clubwomen from this list.
There has been too much of
this attitude of Hands off, lay
men" already to make us quite
easy in our minds about what goes
on behind a lot of these bureaus.
And some of us would give
good deal to understand the
workings of what is known as
the legal MIND.
After all, clubwonen and all the
rest of us pay for these courts.
Their business is the business of
the country, and therefore our
business. Nor should it be called
crime of "leSe majesty" for any
group of taxpayers to desire to
find out the facts about their gov
eminent.
And just what is meant by
constructive criticism?" I've no
ticed that it means you may talk
as long and as loud as you
please about a thing. The minute,
however, you begin active investi-
cation it becomes something very
bad-deStructive criticism.
