the first official defiance of the League
of Nations, of which both states are
members, and Of the Kellogg pact, OF
which they are also co-signatories.
Since the World War armistice, Para
guay's action constitutes, too, the
worlds first formal declaration of hos
tilities. For all these reasons, the con-

Ana now I hear she has gone on her 'round-the- world trip all fortified with a permanent wave, herbal masque and a whole travelling case of beauty aids"

 Little Rose had not taken her eyes from Grants face from the minute they were inside the car. Great, dark eyes that said abso- lutely nothing and yet said so much.

 Even then Rose didn't speak The evening had been too much for her. Her dark eyes raised to Janet's, questioning, and when Janet smiled and nodded she seemed satisfied and took the candy.

Velvet For Spring Evenings SCARF-LIKE WRAPS ARE FASCINATING
BY ROsETTE HARGROvE NEA Service Writer

Paris--While Paris has under stood perfectly the necessity, in these strenuous times, for practical,
 reasonable and altogether matter
 of-fact day clothes, she strongly believes in setting aside all worries
 and cares when evening comes and
 urges women to go forth dressed
 in the most glamorous of fabrics. And to meet changed conditions,
 meaning restricted dress allow
 ances, the couturiers seem to have
 concentrated on producing clothes
 that are beautiful and formal without the aid of expensive furs
 or other trimmings, thereby con-
 siderably reducing the cost. The popularity Of velvet for eve- ming wear is comprehensible. It is by far the most luscious of all | touch. In the cool summer weaves,
 velvet is. the staple fabric for eve- ming wraps for the coming sum-
 mer and of these there is a variety of styles that almost defies de- scription.
 Knee-Length in Style The knee-length7 type of gar-
 ment, swinging loose from the shoulders, finished off with an in- tricate bow scarf at the neck and with sleeves fur-trimmed or not
 strikes new note.
 August Bernard sponsors this
 style and does it most effectively. She showed several in her spring collection, the most attractively be- ing fashioned in the new "velours d'ete" in a curious shade of smoke grey with a distinctly yellow glow to 1t. This was worn over pale amber yellow flat crepe frock. Two
 bands of sable outlined the loose Lseven-eights sleeves, but many of ther other models were without any fur trimming at all.
 Short Wraps in Variety In the short wraps category, there are a number of new ideas to be gleaned, which clever women
 can very easily profit by.
 Lucien Lelong has a number of these bolero-cape wraps, each more fascinating then the other.
 Some are merely long scarf-like
 arrangements with sleeve effect
 on one side and not on the other, one of the ends being thrown over the shoulder or held in front to form a wide panel on the skirt. AS ne uses VelVcC III ucep TlCII Col- ors, in direct contrast or deeper shade than that of the dress, the result is eminently successful. Worth Models More Formal. Worth offers a number of in triguing cape wraps which are new and attractive, but rather
 more formal than the loose style.
 One especially, in pale blue linen
 velvet, forms a deep point extend- ing almost to the hem of the skirt at the back and finishing at the
 waistline in front in crossover bolero effect.
 Wide bands of gray fox starting from the sleeves in front extend to the hem at the back in a V effect. A loose fur scarf, that can
 be adjusted as the wearer's needs, is attached to one side of the sim- pie neckline.
 Later on in the summer, these
 velvet wraps may be replaced by crisp pique jackets and diapha- nous mousseline wraps, but for re- stricted budgets, the velvet wrap is certainly tho wisest acquisition as being suitable for the entire season.

EEY0UR CHILDREN
 By Olive Roberts Bsrton
WHY WORRY ABOUT LEFT
 HANnERS?
olssS s1 N{z sfsHIes. lNe

" FLANDERS?
 When I was teaching school l used to protest when the writing teacher would take the pen out of a child's left hand and transfer it to his right.
 "What is the difference" I want ed to know, "what hand he writes with?"
 And she would answer, "He can never be a good writer with his left hand" or "It looks awkward, or "I have to mark on, certain standards of our writing system, and if his writing leans over back ward, defies every rule Of slant, I cannot pass him, have to do what I can to break up Q bad habit.
 Thus she would talk and would argue. I never believed in mark ing for writing, anyway, neatness, yes, arrangement and legibility perhaps, but if Fife liked to make a spencerian "p" and Lottie per- pendicular one, or their capital let ters were not even of the same family tree, I couldn't see that It mattered.
 Does Switching Help
 I never really knew a child who was compelled to switch about who became fine writer, unless he was ambidextrous and would use both hands equally we'll as is some- times the case.
 For it just happened that my study of physiology and the books I read on the workings of the brain convinced me that tamper- ing with the speech area Con the left side of the head), and It's al- lied reading and writing areas, was not good thing. The nerve centers that control the right hand and arm,. and the right leg and foot lie close to this speech area. The right side of the body is largely controlled by the left side of the brain. A Case Tn Point. Now it is usually dangerous to cite special cases. When one does, and someone else reads 1t he is likely to jump to conclusions and say, 'I know a case precisely like that!" when actually these things are so complicated and hidden probably no two children have an identical history.
 But I am tempted to tell of one case. There was boy in my room when was a young girl, who stut- tered most distressingly. He was very left-handed. Our teacher in- sisted that he use his right hand instead of his left. as very likely every teacher before her had done. I have often wondered if compell- ing him to change might not have caused the halting speech in the first place and the continued prac- tice accent it as the years passed. What Docs 1t Matter? , Most schools now permit left
 handed writing. But perhaps there are some that have not. come to 1t yet. would not go so far as to say the practice might be actually
 harmful. but I fail back on my old
 argument, What does it matter ? What good will it do? Why not
 let such a child alone? What if
 he is left-handed?"
 Anyhow, some of the most in- teresting writing is done by left | handlers. At that. maybe the rest
 of us are out of step. | If a child is left-handed it should not be discussed before him until he begins to feel inferior and diff
 ferent. The word 'southpaw" is
 insulting and unnecessary. He
 should never be shamed about il
 or harangued.
 Personally I always admired thu
 difference. My left hand is just SC
 much extra baggage and I am moi
 proud of letting it soldier the way
 1t does.

sally Plans Her Masquerade Sally wanted to go to the party. She wanted lights and music and laughter again. It had been SO long since she had had them. She no longer desired the center of the stage. A stag line wasn't necessary either. Just a few partners whom she liked. enough to keep her from being a wall flower, she told herself.
 But she knew that if she went with Joe to the party she would be- left alone. That she would have to dance every dance but one or two with him. He would be s.stuck~ with her. Everyone would know that her stock was down. Of course she could go and be defiant But she was no longer defiant. She wanted to be accepted, to belong. In her room she sat down on the end of the smooth, white bed. She gazed at the bedside table with it's pitcher and two glasses: at the severity of the rooms furnishings. Then she filled the bath tub with hot water, poured in little bath oil, which gave the water a strong, clean scent of spruce in northern WUOuSt anu ClLHlDCu AutO tAt0s tuOs Relaxing, she thought of her idea.
 She would go 10 the party. But not as herself. She would wear a black wig. She would have long eyelashes. stage lashes. past ed on and curled up. Her own were long and dark but she would accentuate her eyes beyond any, thing even they could do. She would wear an evening hat with q small veil and she would change her voice. She would go to the party. .. .and maybe she wouldn't be recognized.
 Still--other people changed their hair and their faces remained the same. She must do more than that. She would wear a piece of tape across her nose. hiding it's tilt. She would pretend that she was recov- ering from a broken nose. That would help. She wouldn't be at tractive, though. |. and she must be attractive. Finally she decided to trust to makeup and a few pasted on black spots which she would use for imitation moles, and go to the part.
 She called Ruth before she went to bed.
 Dale Courtney answered the telephone
 Sally? Why didn't you come here?" he asked.
