Spring GarIands

Spring GarIandS
Now are the garlands Of spring
time
Wreathed for the old world
again;
Daisies are starring the mead
OWS,
Primroses, silvered with rain.
Spring, with her pageant, re-
turning
BreathlesS with beauty and
bloom,
Dancing along the vast prairies,
Flooding the fields with per
fume!
Restless the world is, and seek
ing
Balm for it's unquiet breast;
Spring with her legions is
bringing
Rapturous end to Earth's
quest.
Spring with her visions and
promise
Whispers of gladnesS once
more;
Under the April rain falling,
Daffodils dance at the door.
Green seas of meadowland
tying:
Daisies adrift there, like
ships.
Who could withstand or resist
her
Spring with a. song on her
lips?

1t all depends on the type
of frock we wear, if our eve
nings out are to be pleasant
ones. Ideal for all but abso-
lutely formal occasions is a
frock with a brown chiffon
skirt that builds up into a
flesh chiffon bodice. There is
a sash and large bow Of tur-
quoise taffeta ribbon.
Gray clouds on the evening
horizon as gray is heralded as
an evening frock color. A
lovely model is done in gray
chiffon shading to white. The
straight skirt is arranged in
three layers and has a triple
train. A cluster of red velvet
flowers catches the capeN
bodice in front.
Even if it rains you should
go out, especially when you
have a smart raincoat. A new
model is done on broad-shoul-
dered, double-breaSted lines in
proofed beige suede fabric and
has brown trimming on the
collar, buttons, epauletteS and
sleeves.
There's always something
new for evening wear. Now
comes the formal evening frock
done with a high neckline,
long sleeves and a train. These
points are featured in a frock
of crepe marocain in back and
there is a split section at the
back of the bodice. Diamante
bands outline this split section
are also used for cuffs and to
border the neckline.

Do You Know

Nervous habits give low
beauty marks to the pretty
one: girls must guard against
them. Fussing with a ribbon
or with ones hair isn't so
good. Tapping toes are sug-
gestive of impatience, intoler-
ance, worry, haste. Then there
are those among us who are
forever picking at the cuticle
about their finger nails. Men
do that, too, driving poor
wives distracted. The remedy
for this last habit is the
weekly manicure.

A Matter of Attire

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Are nose wells strictly an
afternoon accessory, or may
they be worn in the evening?
2. Will an egg-shell trans
parent velvet Sunday night
dress be appropriate for this
summer? I have planned to
wear a velvet turban to match.
!. Nose wells are an afternoon
dress accessory.
2. I believe that you will find
that the transparent velvet
dress. and certainly with the
velvet turban, very inappropri-
ate for summer wear. Nova
days SUMMER clothes are so
delightfully."- cool-looking, with
so many kinds of summery ma
terials, that I fear you will
look very "wtntry'' in velvet.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
Acknowledge All Gifts

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Once again I come to you
for help. Your column is a
wonderful aid to me, and I
am sure that you will again
give me your help in solving
several problems that are
bothering me.
/. First, I am being married
in May, and my sister wishes
to give a shower, inviting only
my close friends. Would this
be proper.
2. Is this type of stationery
proper for social correspond
ence and for acknowledging
gifts, or is the plain white
standard size more suitable?
8. Should all gifts. birth
day, shower, holiday, and SO
forth. be acknowledged by
note? BETH.
lin the last event you
will have to use your own
judgment about having so close
a relative as a sister plan a
shower for you. You know,
dear girl, that there will always
be some people who will won
der" about this sort of plan,
for you must admit that it is a
fairly obvious bid for gifts.
Showers are more acceptable if
they are planned by a very
close friend Of the brides, or
by her club, and attended by
close friends. But for a mother
or a sister to plan one. well,
there is certainly food for
thought about that.

3.-Yes, every gift we receive
should be acknowledged with
a note.
Thanks for Wedding Gifts
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper to send "thank-
you" cards to relatives and
friends for wedding gifts after
you have already thanked the
donors personally? S.
Yes. For every gift that the
bride receives she writes a note
Of thanks, even if she happens
to thank the giver personally.
These gifts are very important,
and a casual or chance thank
you is not enough.
And. ready-made "thank-you"
cards should not be used. I am
not sure if you refer to this
kind, but I do want to add this
suggestion. The note of thank
you should be written by the
brlde-to-be, and the engraved or
printed card WON'T do.

An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
High starched collars for
women and corsets are within
your mothers memory, and the
stories of her mothers day in
clude a heroine of tears and
swoons. Far from fainting and
weeping is the girl you are going
to hear about today. She let
the gangsters have it-plentyI
The way of this story is some
what roundabout. but the end
is cheering to the feminine
heart.
For some weeks the papers in
Washington had been carrying
accounts, increasingly alarming,
about the way a Sniper operat-
ing from a big black automobile,
had terrorized the suburbs of the
Capital city. People had been
killed, wounded, many of them
all but scared to death. A ver-
liable terror. Police apparently
powerlesS.
Holdups in Suburbs
A morning paper had told Of
yet another outrage. Three
young fellows running out of
gasoline in a nearby suburb
asked a passing motoriSt to help
out. 1.-TWO men, one in goggles,
opened fire on the three, Sc
verely wounding one of them,
then sped away" The girl, you
will observe, is still in the back
ground.
But the suburban police to
whom the boys complained were
not satisfied. They detained the
three-two in jail and the other
in the hospital. Repeated ques-
tioning during their investiga-
ton brought out further par
ticulars. 1t developed finally
that the first story was wholly
untrue. The facts ere that
these fellows, hearing about the
shooting and holdups, thought
they would like to get into the
game. Now comes the girl.
Courage of Modern Girl
Cruising about, the three anna
teur bandits came upon an au-
tomobile parked along the road.
ACcOsting the man and girl in
it, they asked for help about
tire trouble. These two readily
stepped out to get at things
wanted unGer the seat of their
car. Suddenly the escort had q
light flashed in his face and
both of them were commanded
to "stick 'em up"
The girl appeared to cover
behind the man, but instantly
she reappeared, blazing away
with a revolver. The bandits
fled, taking their wounded COM
panion. She really shot two of
them, one only slightly.
I am not recommending that
every girl should carry a gun

keeping a date for an auto ride
in the suburbs. I don't even
know whether the gun this girl
used belonged to her or to her
escort.
But I do celebrate her quick
ness and courage. It's a long
way from the romances of your
mother. Then one of the fav-
orite stories was of a heroine,
Amanda" Amanda was a vir-
tuoso when it came to swooning
and weeping. In and out of sea-
son you'd come on this line in
the Children of the Abbey"
Tears of sweet sensibility trick
led down Amanda'S cheeks"
I'm ~ure the boys welcome
the change from tears and
sWoons. These don't count in
a crisis.

Citizenship
Study Urged
on All Clubs

Some phase Of citizenship study
is urged as a part of the general
program of every club in the In
diana Federation Of Clubs by Miss
Alice Yeakel Of Knox, chairman OF
the American citizenship depart
ment.
In line with this recommended
ton is the suggestion Of quoting
famous statesmen as roll call re-
sponses. study Of Americas ma
tional heroes, and reviews Of the ma
TONS history.
Cooperation with the legislative
department and exercise Of the right
Of franchise are stressed as inn
portant duties Of women.
In letters to club members Miss
Yeakel has written, please plan to
have, shortly before the general
election this fall, able speakers to
present each major platform before
the clubs. Whatever we do, let us
be fair. DO not have one major
party represented unless you also
have the other"
Mrs. Grace Morrison Poole,
Brockton, Mass, newly elected
president of the general federation,
has said that she makes it prac-
tice to read three newspapers daily,
Republican, Democratic and Social
list, that she may know the argu-
ment Of each party and govern her
mind accordingly"
In a letter to Indiana club wom-
en- Mrs. r. j. Barbour of Seymour,
chairman of the division of Ameri-
canization and citizenship training
of the state federation, has said,
"As American citizens, it is our
duty to keep Communism, Soviet
ism and atheism out of our borders.
It is our sacred duty TO render loyal
service by patriotic living for our
beloyed country"

UNKNOWN STAR
GETS TOP ROLE
IN new PICTURE
London Sleeper HeraIded
as Newest Find of
Screen World.
BY ALANSON w. EDWARDS
United Press stan Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. Swatch
out for Charles Laughton, the
London sleeper"
A heavy-set young blond, Of not
too progressing appearance,
Laughton was brought to the
Paramount studios from London
and handed one Of the most COW
eted parts on the lot.
And all. If you can believe it,
without the slightest advance notice
or ballyhoo.
Paramount moguls realized this
was contrary to the usual proce-
dure, but decided that for once
the public should be allowed to
select its own favorites.
Confident of Ability
They are that confident of
Laughton's ability, especially after
Cecil De Mile watched him in a
few scenes and made a report.
Although he never before worked
in pictures, Laughton for his debut
was assigned a role in Devil and
tAAC DNSP CAuu4 W Ol4OOC VI dlQldll
Bankhead and Gary Cooper.
Laughton's case indicates Holly
wood is coming to realize that fans
never refused to accept real his
trionic talent, as for example Lon
CLANCY, Marie Dressler, Emil JAM
ningS and more recently Lionel Bar
rymore.
All attained stardom without sex.
appeal.
Studio Aids Interested
The Londoner and his secret work
have the studio attaches goSsiping,
and all are eager to see how he
comes out. The lack of forehand
notoriety is all right with Laugh
ton.
Il have always worked better
when 1 felt I was unknown and
the task was on my shoulders of
providing startling entertainment"
he said.
If the world is told an actor is
good, it expects so much of him that
the greatest performance possible
would not top expectations.
Laughton is a character actor but
not makeup artist. He achieves
his affects more by repression than
physical or facial contortions.
