In the JOY in store for you,
In the dream that's coming true!

To the faith that wins at last.
To the truth which must abide
Ere the heart be satisfied.

Things of gladness and repose
While life flowers like the rose.
Take heart. Take heart;
Know sorrow must depart,
And for each joy life takes
Another joy awakes!

From life's unfolding flower

WASHINGTON FASH HONS

The guimpe dress has estab-
lished itself in the mode this
fall as a very smart type, and
more than that, a costume that
is very practical. The one you
see the most is a wool crepe
dress worn for daytime, with
various silk guimpes, practical
enough as you can vary it cas-
lily, and always looking well, as
it's so much easier to adjust a
costume in two parts to the
figure, than a one-piece dress.
Another favorite is the dinner
dress, or supper dress as it's
more recently called, Of silk
crepe or velvet, that may be
made more formal or less so by
changing the guimpe. A few Of
them can be worn without any
sleeves at all, which extends
their usefulness even further.
Dull Velvet New
We think we've found the very
best of the more formal Of the
guimpe dress s,es and we've
sketched it for today. It's ankle
length, is Of Softest dull black
velvet, and the guimpe is Of
white semi-rough crepe. AS the
sleeves are very full, and can be
worn to the elbow or puffed
high, and the neck is high both
front and back, you can wear
the dress for the cocktail hour,
for a formal tea in your own
home, for dinner downtown or
dancing informally. Then you
can take the guimpe out, and
you have an evening gown, cut
very low in the back, but high
in front, in the new manner.
The strap across the neckline at
the back merely serves to hold
the gown firmly in place, and
necklines are smart when they
are high in front, even in the
most formal gowns.
Good Skirt Length
Dancing demands a skirt not
too long, so the ankle length Of
this gown is quite long enough
If you're going to dance in it.
The belt has a good looking
rhinestone buckle and as there's
no other color, you can make
any color contrast you want
when you're not wearing the
guimpe. The costume Is priced
$3.50, and comes in misses
sizes, though because Of its good
quality, it looks much higher
priced.

tiOn. or for the name Of the
store where you can find this

DO you remember the time, Nance, when we used to beg Peter to talk and to show off his vocabulary to all the fond rel atives and visitors. Remember how proud we were of his first sentence? Gee, I think I'd be al- most as proud of his last"
 It was a tired and exasperated Peter who was trying to tell Nancy of some important hap penings at the office and who was constantly interrupted by the shrill Daddy, Daddy" which pep pered all the table conversation at the dinner table.
 Nancy tried to hush her young son with Keep still now, Peter. Daddy is talking. You can talk after he finishes That command was effective for a. few minutes and then the child piped up again.
 After he was in bed and Baby Sue had been tucked in Peter and Nancy discussed the conversational tendencies of their young hopeful.
 "Of course, we are partly to blame in making so much of his first words and sentences, but gosh, weren't they cute. Anybody would have done what we did"
 "Well, he should not be at the table with us, he should eat at his little table, but since children learn table manners from observation of their elders he ought to be at our table at least part of the time."

Mrs Johnson was in to see me today to check up on her smallest youngster. I am always glad when Mrs Johnson comes in because she has such an interesting family and because she is so sensible about discussing the multitude of prob lems that arise in connection with that family.
 There's quite bunch of them of the Johnson children. l mean. Bill, the oldest is 15 and a junior in high school. Mary Is II, Claire will be seven this summer, Robert is just three and the newest baby isn't even here yet; he's due this month and the other youngsters can hardly wait to see him. Bill is determined 1t shall be a boy, for ac- cording to him, "boys are so much more sensible than girls" Mary and Claire are quite sure 1t will be a girl because, according to them, they've got plenty of boys in the family already" The obvious solu- tion would be twins, but Mrs John son says one baby will be quite enough to cope with, especially If he is like any of his brothers and sisters. Meanwhile the whole family call the baby John. so as to be prepared for everything.
 There's really no telling what Elizabeth John will be like for the Johnson family Is such a mixture of types. Bill takes after his father, and is tall, fair and blue-eyed. MT Johnson was a great football player in his younger days and Bill shows decided promise in the field of sport, Mary and Claire are more

like their mother, small and dark and lively as little cells.
 remember when Mary was about two years old Mrs Johnson brought her into my office one day and almost wept as she told me how slowly Mary was gaining. She couldn't understand it, because Bill had always grown steadily and had for his age. But she cheered up when I pointed out that Bill owed his size and build to his fathers Anglo-Saxton ancestores. whereas Mary had obviously inherited her mothers racial and family physical characteristics. Mrs Johnson's grandfather came originally from southern France and Mrs Johnson herself has the slight, wiry build so prevalent among people of Lat in stock. It was not at all strange, therefore, that Mary should be small-boned, wiry rather than mus cular and so full of energy that she just couldn't accumulate weight as fast as Bill had done. When Claire came along small and dark like her sister Mrs Johnson knew bet ter than to worry over her weight and height. But Robert promises to be another Mr Johnson; he is the rouhdest, jolliest blue-eyed three year old. that I ever expect to see. EliZabeth-John may conform to either of these family types or may be compromise between them. We shall know before many weeks.
 Speaking of differences in devel- opment, remember another thing that puzzled Mrs Johnson. Both Bill and Mary were rather slow in learning to talk but Claire seemed to have no difficulty at all. She could say more when she was only eighteen months than either of the others could at two years or more. Why should she apparently be so much brighter? But, as I told Mrs Johnson, Claire was probably no brighter really than the others only she was encouraged more to talk. Both Bill and Mary were there to talk to her and play with her and show her the pictures and rhymes in their nursery books. Whats more, with three small children in the house, Mrs Johnson herself couldn't spare as much time to fuss over Claire as she had done over Bill and Mary. Conse Quently Claire had to get busy an assert herself early. The same thing has happened with young Robert. At four years old he's the most independent youngster imaginable.
