Your
CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
&so<5 Az Ne @eo<<ir-E 49,

Dear Mrs Barton:
ct wish sometime you would
write an article that might help
another child like myself. /
scarcely know Just where to be-
gin but I do know that when was
a very little child was very much
interested In clothes and also re-
member looking in a looking-glass
one day, fixing something about
myself and one of my grandmoth-
ers sort of made fun Of me for
being vain. To this day people
often say to me. Don't you ever
look in a looking-glass"
Il also remember when was a
very little girl saving my pennies
to buy turkey-red calico to make
a little Mother Hubbard dress, and
when mother found out about 1t
she also said something about my
thinking about something besides
clothes. And father said, No girl
of his was going to wear red He
made 1t out that no decent woman
ever wore red. A little later all
the girls in my Sunday school
class but myself had varying
shades Of red dresses all trimmed
with innumerable rows of black
velvet ribbon and no one will ever
know how l wanted one like them.
but instead they made me black
dress trimmed with white braid
and ! hated it.
ALSO, when the other girls had
white sailors with large bright
roses on them I had a black one
with a wreath Of very fine white
flowers on it and 1 thought 1t
looked like an old woman's hat
"After / was married and came
to this city I found that I could
not clothe myself. There is moth
ing 1 hate so much as to think any
thing about clothing. I never plan
ned and cannot do 1t.
II have never had any clothes
more than a single dress or pair
Of shoes at a time since then-or
possibly occasionally two dresses.
1 never learned how to take care
Of clothing and 1t may sound weak
any effort to dress my hair in any
| way only on the line of least re-
| sistance. 1 feel that my business
career has been seriously ham,
| pered by this-in fact know that
| it has but I still seem utterly I'M
able to change myself even though
do still care. / think there Is
a thought in this that you can
| bring out sometime.
Sincerely yours -"
|
I believe that the above letter
speaks for itself without any fur
| Their word from me. 1t shows how
] children get fixed ideas and COM
| plexes. What is true of clothes is
true Of everything. What a shame
that children are made to suffer
for other peoples prejudices and
to ride their hobbies, even thosc
| of their parents,

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY

against the background Of the
greatest scenic masterpiece of the
world, the Grand Canyon Of the
Colorado.
While it perhaps is unfair to pick
and choose, those whose work
should BIO singled out for especial
mention include petite Cecilia Park
err, a newcomer to the screen, the
ever competent Minna Gombell,
playing most difficult role, tho
hilarious Roscoe Ates, dean Of
screen Sufferers, James Kirkwood,
J. M. Kerrigan and w. J.. Thorne.
Rollicking comedy, while the
dominant note of stepping Sis
ters', companion feature on the
bill, romance is also injected into
the plot.
The most important roles are
portrayed by Louise Dresser, Minna
Gombell and Jobyna Rowland who
appear as former queens of bur-
lesque and find themselves on va
rious rungs Of the ladder of society,
each one fearing in her heart, that
her previous occupation of choice
will be discovered. Quite by ac-
cident, they meet at a social func-
ton and the fun begins-to con-
tinue until the final explosion
which finds everybody surprised
and happy, If somewhat embar-
raised.
Supporting the principals Is a
cast that includes such well known
personalities as William Collier,
Sr. Howard Phillips. Stanley Smith,
Ferdinand Munier, Barbara Weeks,
Mary Forbes and Robert Greig.

STAR better than whole wheat" ''Much
l. more delicious!': "Tastes like cake!"
That's what hundreds of local women are
saying about Wonder.Cut Wheat Bread.
That's what you'll say, too. For no whole
wheat bread can equal Wonder-Cut Wheat
Bread in flavor, or all.round goodness!
What's the secret? Balanced.Blend! Our
perfect blend of stone-ground whole wheat
flour and short-patent -four. There are many
blends-but only one Balanced Blend. That's
why there is only one Wonder.Cut Wheat
Bread.
Ask your grocer for Wonder.Cut Wheat
Bread today. Don't make your family eat
whole wheat bread because it's good for
them" Give them Wonder Cut Wheat Bread
because it tastes good, too:

7 D " N BAILIFFS

The recent series of early morn
ing robberies in Riverdale, Md,

lying sections of the town.
A committee was appointed to
confer with the Potomac Electric
Power Company on a proposal to
keep town street lights burning
all night. The committees re-
port will be acted upon at the
special meeting.

Oomethi1g every smoker
Ua71tS to k11OuU!

D Absolutely pure i. .. that's what you
expect in the things you eat and drink -.
and in the cigarettes you smoke.
''Chester6elds are as pure as the water
you drink" noted scientist writes.
There's no way to make Purer cigarette.
Starting with tobaccos -. the ripest,
finest, purest leaf that grows is selected for
Chesterfelds. Mild to start with e. Cross
Blending makes it milder still. Then it's
wrapped in paper that is so pure it burns
without any taste or odor.
The phrase "Scientifcally Purer" is en-
tirely justified. By our use of highly
scientific process which was worked out by
DR.. Paul Gross, the Head Chemist of our
Research Department, Chesterfield reaches
state of purity unmatched, to our knowl-
edge, by any other cigarette,
In addition, scientists check every in-
gredient, every method. Even the factory
air is washed, and changed every ~ min
utes. More purify!
Notice, too, the clean, white, attractive
package moisture-proof. Chesterfelds
come to you as good and as pure as they're
made. Good &. they've got to be good!
Change to ChesterGelds and see.
