Paris Has Designs On Sweaters!
Longer Dsy Uniform They Now Appear Striking Cuts And Patterns

By JEAN PAroU

BY JEAN EAIOU
Written for NEA Service and the
Waterbury eDmocrat)
Paris.--It was the determined
simplicity of the informal ensemble
which made us all adopt, a few
years ago, that idea1 garment, the
sweater. AS each season came.
new notifications were brought to
the original idea and these varia-
tions account for its popularity.
The sweater lasted on, without any
sign Of lassitude ON the part of
women, for a record length of time
in the annals Of fashion.
AS the fundamental theme of the
informal ensemble, or suit Of which
the sweater was an important num-
Der, could never be subjected to
any very radical change, this gar
ment became almost a classic. It
also explains why we all endeav-
ored to get away from 1t for a
while.
1t was only after having COM
pletely modified its aspect that !
consented to revert back to the
sweater this season. So far as
form is concerned, the old uniform
pattern has been abandoned. Here
tofore, the only outstanding char
acteristic of q sweater was the
more or less original selection and
disposition of colors. To-day it
is an integral part Of the ensemble
and is no longer condemned either
to regularity or cut or design
which, after all, were the cause OF
its disgrace with both creators and
women.
The sweater now represents
much more than that, as it supplies
it's quota to the silhouette and is
therefore indispensable to the
homogenity and harmony of the
ensemble. In some cases, too, it
supplies the outstanding feature.
The latest sweaters all evidence
a much greater amount of thought
and technique of cut, which suf-
ficiently motivate their return to
the mode, besides the novelty ap-
peal in the new interpretations.
On of the new forms of sweaters
which has found graf favor this
season has an irregular basque eff
feet finishing in a point at the
front. At first glance, this almost
looks like the to poi the dress, an,
effect enhanced by the design and
coloring. Another which has
proved almost as popular is the
sweater blouse of hand-knitted
wool, which is worn tucked into
the skirt.
There is also a number of new
ideas in the medium employed for
sweaters this season. Some time
ago I had discarded jerseys be-
cause they were too closely woven
for strenuous wear, but much to
my regret, as they are the most
agreeable fabrics for informal
clothes. This year, however, the
manufacturers have created a
number of open-worked jersey
weaves which are delightful as
well as hygenic, and 1 have used
good deal of these. The hand
knitted blouse or sweater, though.
is perhaps the newest idea. AS
with all things executed by hand,
there is a certain quality beside a
choice of patterns and stitches that
can rarely be achieved in machine
made materials. The exclusive
woman will welcome these as she
can thus ensure design for her
own use without fearing to see it
copied immediately.

RUTH QUESTIONS DIR RAYNOR
Hello, Ruth" Joe Raynor's
voice was cheerful enough. what
have you up your sleeve? Or have
you a cold or indigestion?
His sandy hair was a little tousl-
ed as though he had been running
rebellious fingers through it. His
eyes looked tired though his lips
smiled. Ruth had sudden furious
desire to pull his head down on her
breast, to smooth out the worry
lines between his brows. Then she
remembered that he didn't want
her to. She was just Sally's sister.
IT have a cold" She thanked
him for the lead. TITS just begin
ming, but since have to go hunt
ing for job I can't afford to go
around smiling" She didn't look
at him. She couldn't. The purple
brown eyes were too sad. too seri-
GUS, just now. She was afraid he
would read their secret. And she
couldn't let him do that. He
couldn't pity her!
Come on back" He held the
door of the Office for her. He had
her sit down in the patients chair.
He took her temperature. You
do have a temperature" he said.
Have II" She wasn't sur
prised. It seemed to her that she
was being consumed slowly by a
great fire. That after a while she
would crumble in teh midst of it,
as the skeleton work of buildings
sometimes went down when the
flames had ruined the rest of the
structure.
"Got a cough?" the young doc
tor asked.
mo, and don't sneeze."
He looked at her quickly. She
didn't know that there was some-
thing alluring in the sweep of
curls that slipped out of one side
of her brown velvet beret. or that
the huge fur collar on the match
ing velvet suit, which had come
from Nancy Becker's wardrobe,
did something soft ana appealing
for her. too.
"You look very prosperous.
Ruth" Joe Raynor said abruptly.
Prosperous? He was interested in
external appearances. Not in her
pulse or her heart. Ruth thought,
Her lips curled little contemptu-
ously.
Rather an unusual way for me
to look, isn't it?"
He was pouring some pills from
a great glass jar into a tray on his
desk. His hands were long and
brown and strong. She remem-
bered how very strong they could
be. And suddenly she wanted
him to reach out his arms and pull
her close against him. He could

ferent! 1t wasn't fair.
"Snap out of It'll" she whispered

Your
CHILDREN


The child best prepared for life
is not the child who is brought NJ
to depend on his mother entirely
either for attention or for love.
It Is difficult for most mothers
to understand this for they fee
that the longing for affection In
| their own hearts must be as deep
| ly rooted in their children; and
they do not understand that ex-
'tremes work out to a child's detri-
ment.
The love Of q mother for q child
and his love for his mother is Q
beautiful thing, Of course. The
mutual understanding and sym
pathy between them is probably
the greatest power for good in this
big world of ours. But even 9
mothers love can extend itself be-
yond the bounds of reason and be-
come an emotional orgy instead.
When this state OF affairs exists
1t follows quite naturally that she
wishes the same extreme to exis,
in the heart Of her child and she
| will very likely use almost any
means in her power to deepen his
dependence on her and the love
caused by that dependence.
/:
II things come to the point
where the child is absolutely help
less and miserable without his
| mothers codd1ing and care, her
indulgence and sacrifice, and his
emotion for her begins to under
mine his normal behavior, it IL
| called q mother fixation."
believe that D surprising per-
centage of all children have this
| fixation to greater or lesser de.
gree.
1t would not be SO If mothers
knew the true state of affairs, be-
cause under it all lies a more no
BILE love of self1esshess. Knowing
that her child is being mentally
and emotionally stifled and made
unfit for life, what mother would
not be willing to withdraw suffi-
GENTLY to give him a chance?
The various interests of life as
they open up to a child will nat
urally intrude themselves as he
grows older. The boy of twelve
is not mothers baby any longer.
He turns to sports and the various
things a growing boy loves. His
mother is still his dearly loved
mother. but she is not the center
of his world.
This is natural and as 1t should
be. And she should understand
and try to adjust herself happily,
not cry and sigh and moan that
she has lost him.
A real fxation often prevents
q boy from taking an interest in
other affairs, however. The moth
err who knows her son to be more
anxious. to be near her and the
comforts she represents than play
ing ball, should urge him to go.
Sometimes such dependence
transfers itself from the mother
to the wife. To such a man all
love is only too selfish; he de-
ponds ON his new love not only
for material ministering to which
he has been accustomed, but for
support of every fibre of his men
tai and emotional makeup. 1t
does not make for happiness at
any time.
Motherhood that holds itself in
the background and permits chill
dren to become sufficient,
without any strangle hold on
hearts and minds, is the ideal re-
lationship. All of us might pause
bit and think. Are we measur-
ing up as We should?

INCLUDE BEAUTY I'M STRING

INCLUDE BEAUTY IN SPRING
BUDGETS
While budgeting your spring
clothes, did you put In a sizablo

You should have.
What are clothes, I ask you, II
the face to go with them is not an
inspiration?
Last years makeup is apt to
he as oId-fashioned as last years
clothes. Therefore, include in your
beauty budget one sum for an ex-s
pert facial and makeup. There
are lots Of new tricks about using
the new brown mascara on the
outside Of the lower lid, shading it
to nothingness on the part near
the nose. that you can't know in
stinctively. You have to learn
them. Get someone to teach you
who knows how.
Next in line comes an item for
fundamentals OF beauty. Bland
soaps, a new cleanser, o rich
nourishing cream, an excellent
astringent, a vanishing cream and
to top it all, finisher. Some folks
call them face lotions. Others call
them powder bases. Still others
lust finishers. They are creamy.
yet thin enough to spread on cas-
silly. They are fragrant yet not
overpowering. They are just oily
enough to supply the skin with
what it needs and dry enough to
keep the face from looking oily.
This year a couple OF firms have
some new products that do three
tricks instead of one. A single
lotion will cleanse, nourish and fin
ish. These are more expensive
than the old single lotions. But
considering how they function. not
expensive at all.
II you are feeling the depres-
sion and can't spend much money
on your face, get a good basic
cream that is neither too rich nor
too thin and be intelligent in how
you make it work for you. A lit
tie rubbed in carefully and then
wiped off takes the dirt with It.
Another application, massaged In
with good thumps, strokes and
caresses, stimulates circulation and
helps plump the face so it doesn't
show wrinkles.
Still another dab or two. spread
out after the astringent is used.
will make a powder base Of sorts.
And, in this economizing spirit,
don't forget that cold water Is
one of the best astringents you
can use.

boils down to a question of en-
phasis, doesn't it,"
ut surely does" I agreed. "And
don't forget that lipstick can do
other things too. One that is made
with protective ingredients will
nourish the lips and keep them
soft. And again, il your lips are
kept soft, they will have much less
tendency to settle into a hard un-
pleasant line."

place in the world, helping to keep
people pleasant looking!" said
Sally. "But do wish that woman

petals and sepals spread out like wings
to balance the weight of the blossom
and keep it afioat in the air at the top
Of its long stem.
Daffodils, as a rule, are one flower
to q stalk, but they have been doubled
SO frequently that now it is not like its
true self. When flowers are doubled
the seed-producing vessels are turned
to the duty Of making petals, and so
the flower lasts trif1e longer, but is
not SO lovely. In the single daffodil the
flower devoted all its efforts to produc-
ing the perfect blossom Now the frill
Of deep yellow which once edged the
corona is ragged
Give yourself a treat this Spring and
study the strange way the little baby
daffodtl Is twisted in a sort of paper
bag. First you are sure your flower will
be deformed. and you must strip off this
ugly paper covering. All, no, it's the
way of the daffodil to surprise you with
its brightness and beauty by Springing
out from its unattractive wrapping.
After the daffodil has bloomed in all
its glory 1t again drops to earth and
begins to draw nourishment through its
leaves, in order that it may stand forth
again the following March.

the Lent lily, and it is said by the an

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERMRT PLUMMER.

Parker Of Georgia is the latest to
run afo9l of Underhill.
The Georgian, a big man who has
spent much of his life In the military.
took it upon himself not so long ago
to speak his mind about the way the
country was being run.
Underhill let him finish before
dressing him down" But If he was
severe with Sweeney he was devastat-
ingly so with Parker. His sarcasm and
ridicule of the new Georgia member
we're such as to infuriate almost any
man. And he did infuriate Parker.
When Underhill had finished Parker
arose to say that no Georgian would
be dictated to by Massachusetts,. He
referred to an editorial recently printed
In a Georgia newspaper captioned
ITO He'll With Massachusetts," and
added that If the rules of the House
permitted him. he would say the same
thing to Underhill.
But he didn't get very far with
that. Evidently something occurred
to cause him to have change Of
heart. A few days later he expunged
these remarks from the record and
publicly apologized.

NANCY PAGE
Here Are St. Patricks
Party Ideas.
ny FLORENCE LA GANKE.
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

''The harp that once through Tara's
halls" was doubtless gold. And the
halls must have used some green some
where in decoration or in marble. At
least, that was Nancy's idea in planning
decorations for st. Patrick's day party.
The place cards for the dinner which
preceded the evening Of bridge were
later the tally cards.
Nancy bought some gold lace paper
doilies and some white ones. She Sc
riously considered coloring the white
ones green with water color paint.
Finally she left them white for the
ladies and colored them green for the
the men. She put the tally on the
inside Of the larger white or green dolly.
Then she folded that over with numbers
inside.
She folded the smaller gold dolly into
halves and inserted the white one.
Then she punched two holes and tied
the two together with green ribbon.
The place card was attached to one
end of the green ribbon. The names
were written with green ink
The centerpiece became the evening
prize as well. She. had fashioned
nosegays made of white flowers with
plenty Of green leaves arranged around
the border. These nosegays were frilled
with white lace paper doiles and tied
with emerald green ribbon.
They were laid in a circle in the
center of the table. AS soon as the
meal was over Nancy put them into
water-the ribbons were so arranged
they slipped of easily. This kept the
flowers fresh.
Had Nancy had low fiat dish into
which she could have put wet sand she
would have arranged the nosegays in q
fiat, circular pattern. But to get them
fat enough she would have had to cut
the stems too short
