DEVISE YOUR OWN COLOR SCHEME,
 SAYS PARIS; BEHOLD, SLIT SKIRTS BACK

The best day colors will be all the dark wine reds and browns, grays, henna, rust, very dark greens and some black. For for mai afternoon and evening wear. black still leads, but not by any means the unrelieved black of for mer years-the touch of bright color is obligatory. Then come the fushia tones, some with tinge or blue, and every conceivable shade of violet, mauve and purple.
 Vionnet uses the color palette in her own inimitable manner and harmonises a gray-blue with dark brown, purple with red, plum with pale pink, with great success. These are combinations, however, to which only past master of the art can aspire without risking sar- torial tragedies.
 Schiaparelli has taken her sea- sons colors from the hyacinth. The dark hyacinth blue replaces black. As a matter of fact, she has used every possible tone in this range of. blues, from the darkest to the lightest. Red is prominent, too, in Schiaparelli's collection. the new tone being called Red Cab bage. Pumice gray appears fre- quently, and black and white for evenings. Tweeds in light browns and blues with an inedfinite check figure extensively in the sports clothes, and she has several new diagonal woolens and hand-woven tweeds.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
SPEAK BEAUTIFULLY
By Alicia Hart
3!qSS s7 NIH SERYIfE NSa.

There are some women who make lovely pictures. But when they open their mouths to speak, the illusion is gone. When the speaking vocie became part of the movie world, some actresses found their charm diminished because their tones weren't pleasing. Their admirers wished that he days of the silent drama hadn't disappear ed, as far as the passing of a par ticular dream was concerned. The same rule applies to ordinary speaking voices.
 No woman wants to have man say that she is all right until she opens her mouth. She wants him to like to hear her talk.
 A simple rule or two will do much for you. First of all, watch the manner in which you pro- nounce words which start with the letters "wh." You know the group, who, whom, what, which, when, where, why and down the list. Don't flatten your lips before saying them. Instead, put them in the position that you would use if you were going to whistle. The sound is much softer, much lovelier.
 Nothing marks you as culti- vated more quickly than your speaking voice. You may know every grammatical and rhetorical rule on record, but If there is a defect in your tone no one will guess that you have all sorts of knowledge at your command.
 The position of your tongue has much to do with the quality of your voice. The top of your tongue should rest, always. at the base of your lower front teeth. Most of us have a tendency to let the top of the tongue reach 8 higher level. Keep it down.
 Speaking should be done with the tip of the tongue. When you use the rest of your tongue you make your tone thick.
 Keep your tongue in such a po- sition that your back teeth touch its sides. The roof of your mouth, your front teeth, and your tongue will form a triangle in which the tip of your tongue does ifs work

BLIND MEN
 MAKE BRo0MS

Springfield, Mo-(UP)-Amid the steady chatter of machinery, rustic of broom corn and careless testing of apparently happy labor CTS, the work goes on before sight, less eyes in shop here.
 Blind men are making brooms.
 Throug work they never see, the men are occupying their hands and their minds, supporting themselves, and in some cases their families. The brooms fashioned entirely through the sense of touch com- pare favorably in quality with those of persons who work so largely by the visual method.
 The establishment is known as the Blind Kraft Shop. It was made possible through the work of the Springfield Assocation for the Blind, in cooperation with the state com mission and through the help of a local civic club.
 The coarse broom corn straw, handled in the preliminary stages by seeing employees, is apportioned each blind worker, who stands at his machine able to reach every bit of the material for making a broom.
 The craftsmen are closely pro- tected by heavy gloves and guards. Accidents are relatively few, per- haps no more than would result from the efforts of seeing persons.

 You foolish young people!" l exclaimed-"foreve locking the stable after the horse is stolen instead of taking proper precau- tions before!

 II guess Diana knows that" gig gled Sally, because she is about to go through the most Spartan reducing regime! She plans to prac- tically starve herself and to take all kinds of reducing baths and to play tennis all day and"
 'That isn't funny" l said. you tell Diana that unless she wants to ruin her health, she'd better not do anything so drastic. The first es- sentials of healthy reducing. are system and safety-and by safety l mean moderation. A moderate amount, of the correct exercises and 8 diet that omits sweets, starches, rich or oily or fried foods, and substitutes fruits, salads. leafy vegetables, and the vegetable boul-- lon cure so popular in Europe just now, will do the work far better than an over-zealous following Of unscientic fads that usually ruin the health"
 But what are the exercises- and what is this famous vegetable bouillon cure?' asked Sally.
 "1'll send them both to Diana py mail," I assured Sally, ~1f you will give me her address"
 "You darling" she exclaimed. "And very soon I'm coming in 10 consult you about my own reduc- ing problems"

Lets have questions nnl an- swers," said Thomas.
 "Oh, yes, let's" seconded Bar bara, unfolding her napkin and laying it across her knee. "School is about to begin,' re- marked their father sagely, and I think it is just as well to see how much you remember. Let me see. Who was Napoleon?"
 "A general" answered Thomas.
 Not enough. Who was he?'
 French" said Barbara,
 Not enough either. Don't tell me you haven't learned about Ma poleon Bonaparte, you youngsters
 we haven't had him in our room" explained the male twin. We've only had the presidents. But guess he was a king or some- thing. He was very important, wasn't he?"
 Their father patiently gave a symposium on Napoleon. And then he asked another question. What were XYZ Papers?" Probing Their Memories The twins looked at their plates with knitted brows. Then they looked at each other. Gee! We had that but I for get" said Thomas.
 q don't remember either," ad- mitted Barbara.
 Then their father explained that the XYZ Papers were an affair we had with France that almost brought on war in 1795, and so on.
 Look here, John," said their mother indignantly. You've been readying your French history. so don't try to show off here. And don't pretend to be shocked that the children don't know things"
 But good lands, Mary! You would think they would know something just by general read ing"
 Their tastes aren't yours. Give them time."
 Well, there are books right un- der their noses. What is library for?" asked scholarly John.
 Not to read when they are get ting sun and exercise through the summer. Look here sir"
 She pulled over the bouquet of garden flowers from the middle toward her plate. One by one she nelQ up the OlIIeTenI DlOSSOInS.
 What is this called?'
 Dad Is Puzzled
 John looked blank. Never saw it before."
 We have a whole bed of it growing right under your nose and you don't mean to say you never inquired its name. Phlox! Can you remember that? But you won't. You'll forget by tomorrow"
 John "gave up" as she held out each blossom. The twins, however, knew the names. Delphinium, gail lardia, larkspur, pyrethrum and scabiosa.
 John looked at his children ad- miringly. Where did you learn all that?" he asked.
 Mother taught us. We know the names of almost every kind of flower, wild ones, too," declared Barbara proudly.
 You see, they aren't quite dunn. mics, my dear" smiled his wife. "Does it give you an idea?"

Mona, watching him careen out through the gate on single wheel and disappear in a tunnel of green trees beyond.
 "He does everything well," Barry replied. ''It was a great idea to send him down here. Been a big help to us. 1 guess Bud was just about at thu turning point. He was all set to amount to something either something pretty fine or just the opposite"
 Mona nodded in agreement. "It was awfully good of you" she said softly. T don't believe I've ever thanked you"
 "Oh, we've had our thanks all right. Bud himself, looking as he does today, is thanks enough"
 There was coolness in Barry's tone and Mona felt it. She was si- lent for some time.
 Then after little she said, Does he handle any of the selling for you"
 Barry nodded again. "He does and he's clever at 1t, too. There's a man named Horton"
 How could Barry know about that? Had he seen Bud? Then she understood that of course he had while she was sleeping.
 There's a man named Horton who's a tough customer. He gave us good price for uncut diamonds because Bud"
 "Why don't you let Bud tell her that, boy?" suggested Steve casu- ally. He turned to Mona. Barry is always bragging about Bud. I tell him the boys head will be turn ed"
 The scent of the honeysuckle came nearer and nearer. They could hear the sea spilling and crashing along the beach. Lottie, rising, beckoned Steve to join her at the edge of the terrace. Mona was alone with Barry at last. What was he going to say? How would he begin? With re- breaches? With a demand for ex- plantations?
 Instead Barry. too, rose from his chair. Don't take Lottie away" he called. II promised the girls we'd take them for a drive. We ought to be starting or 1t will be too late. The roadster is in order, isn't it?"
 Never better!" Steve agreed. Cupping his hands together and raising them to his mouth, he shouted, "oh. boy! Bring around the roadster!"
