WIDE APPEAL
Exquisite New Lingerie

Almost any woman loves gifts OF
lingerie. And tniS year you'll get
an extra cheer if sou make your
selection in this department. For
lingerie has never been SO gor-
geous. It's the essence of feminin-
ity-beautiful in color, in fabric and
in trimming. The garments are
really designed to fit, too, an i'm
portant point. The Princess sill
houette is noted in slips, in step
ms and in night gowns. Nearly all
have the new adjustable shoulder
straps-made very narrow and with
a tiny shell slide that permits
lengthening or shortening as the
individual figure may require. The
lacey types. are trimmed with Allen
con, Val or Irish Lace, with pipings,
tucks, embroidery aorynet insects. The
more tailored styles are bound with
contrasting color or trimmed with
appliques in conventional or floral
design. Choose these lovely gar
ments in tea rose or peach. If there
is q January bride on your list
choose one of the lovely white lin
gerie sets-night gown, slip and
dance set, all to match. And don't
neglect the knitted undergarment
they are a favorite with many
women. In glove silk, or rayon they
prove their practicability and
charm through many Wearings.
Easy to launder and keep in repair,
they appeal particularly to business
women and girls away at school.
The woman who goes in for winter
sports will appreciate those soft
knitted boomers of wool and cotton
that provide real warmth without
bulkiness.

To add a brilliant touch Of color
TO the costume come bright scarfs
Of silk-WoOlen fabrics or velvet.
One especially good looking type
had a band Of velvet to fit around
the neck and was finished with
wide but not long ends Of crimson
silk striped in gold. Another Of
crushed red velvet had huge white
polka dots and might be worn
Ascot fashion or knotted in a sofs

q fat little man in old fashioned
evening dress, glimpsed a plump,
cherubic face. Reuben Blair

pansive and pompous and thor.

Not wishing to risk an encour-

They were gone. Patricia and
Clark were alone. They were
together and we're miles apart.
Nothing was changed. Dancing
could not change it. Clark was
stranger. Patricia stepped into
his arms as she had so often
done before, skillfully, mechan-
ically followed his lead. He was
concerned, he was interested, he
was exquisitely polite-but some

they are dressed up in pirate

There isn't a sluggard in the

throat and rippled in the waves
of her hair. To the world she
seemed as serene and as con-
fident as an empress. Inwardly
she was a frightened, trembling
girl.
It was over. It was over so
quickly. Clark clasped her hand
as he had clasped a hundred
other hands. AS he had ad-

addressed her.
"It'S good to see you here"
I'm glad to be here" she

Long? They had parted on
the second day of July. She had
not seen him for three months.
Yet he could say in that cas-

long. Long? She had crowded
into that length of time more
misery and heartache and grief
than in the whole Of her nine
teen years. Long? To her it
bad been an eternity.
Fixed Smiles
She faced him steadily, un-

They were out on the gilt

pretense at dancing. He merely
walked, letting the others make
way for him. After a single
circling of the floor he took

She was only vaguely con-

of the sweet, smooth music, Of
the scent of flowers, of the hum

Things have improved so in
the making Of movies that now
the heroes buy their evening
clothes at regular tailors instead
of the chain grocer's, herones
say "you" instead of "youse,"
and interiors Of Long Island eS-
tates no longer look like dance

more item that must have atten-
ton. The audiences are not
quite right yet.
BY audiences I do not mean

or because that afternoon the
Children's Aid Society has tax
en- her adopted daughter away
from her. there is no limit to
the vituperation which the au-
dience will heap upon her. A
close examination Of the faces
in the pit reveals scorn, ridi-
cule and even rage blackening
every countenance. The night
that Booth shot Lincoln in
Ford's Theater is taken as a
model for every scene in the
movies showing the failure Of 9
song hit to register.
In the legitimate theater when
an actress makes an individual
success, it is called stopping the
show" But in the movies the
show actually IS stopped. Not
only does every person in the
house rise to his feet and shout
bravo" but small fights are
started in the rear rows and sew
eral people begin tearing off
their clothes. Everyone then
starts for the exits, presumably
headed for the stars dressing
room to elect her the first
woman President Of the United
States. The song hit may have
come in the middle Of the first
act, but, from then on, the show
is over. Which is probably just
as we'll.
This extremely neurotic BE-
havior on the part Of the audi
ence in the movies is partly due
to the direction, as have heard
assistant directors, just before a
shot is to be made, exhort the
extras for plenty OF reaction!"
The particular scene I have in
mind was a prize fight, and the
result was that the two fight
ers were the most phlegmatic

people in the house. (Not that
this isn't often true in real prize
fights, but this one was sup
posed to be on the level)
And then there Is the fact
that every extra has hopes Of
being picked out Of the crowd
because of his or her person
ality" and being made into q
star. It has happened. And
plenty of extras are better than
plenty Of stars, and they know
it. So, when the word is given,
it becomes a contest among 0
hundred people to see which
one can "stand out" with the
result that you get an audience
full of actors instead Of an
audience full Of people. This.
in turn, results in chaos.

they can to get the building ready for
occupancy at an early date.
Norris and Hackett expressed will
Hngness to cooperate and gave as
surance that the present status of the
building was such that they could
make good progress.
Indications were that plastering
would be completed about Sept. 10,
