Nurseries or the Diamond State
Nurseries at greatly reduced prices

trees at reduced prices and plant

DESTITUTE MOTHERS TO SHARE
MOTHERS DAY GIFTS

| Never since its Inauguration has
Mothers Day presented such an Op'
portunity for service to Mothers as
the present day. With more than
l2,000,000 of our citizens unemploy-
ed and with an estimated 9,000,0 ,000
more working but part time and
other millions deprived of normal
| income, the situation is one that
calls for practical gifts that will
relieve actual suffering and want.
The day will be observed through
cut the nation on Sunday. May II.
Planned in the beginning as q
tribute to fortunate mothers with
thoughtful sons and daughters who
took pleasure in remembering them
with gifts of candy and flowers,
books, kilograms and letters, the
observance has gained increased
momentum each year. For the past
few years there has been a tenden-
cy to commercialiZe the day and
this has been deplored by those who
believe in its original purpose. il
was inevitable that with the vast
increase in need. brought about by
the depression, the flow of gifts
should be directed into a different
channel and that destitute and de-
pendent mothers should share in
the observance.
Urging a Golden Rule Observance
of the day, The Golden Rule Foun-
dation of New York, which annual
ly sponsors the movement in the in
terests of neglected or forgotten
mothers, points out that these des-
titute mothers and dependent chill
dren are praying mot for flowers
hut for flour; not for candy but for
bread; not for books but for food
and shelter"
Stirred by the evidence OF suffer-
ing around them many mothers.
who in times past have received
gifts and flowers from devoted sons
and daughters are asking that this
year these Injuries be supplanted
by practical necessities or gifts of
money and that they he directed TO
those in dire need.
A resolution has been introduced
in the United States Senate by Sem
ator Copeland of New York and in
the House of Representatives by
Congressman Thomas jenkins of
Ohio, calling upon the President to
issue special Mothers Day pro-
clamation in the interests Of IAN
unprec cadentedly large number of
mothers and dependent children
who, because of Unemployment or
loss of their bread earners, are lack
ing many of the necessities o. life"
The resolution calls upon our cit
iZens ito express on Mothers Day
this year our love and reverence for
motherhood by the usual tokens and
of affection to our moth
ers, and by making contributions, in
honor Of our mothers. through our
churches or other fraternal and well
fare agencies. for the relief and well
fare of such mothers and children

BIouses Are Cay

Blouses have certainly
come into their own, with
suits, jumper dresses and
separate skirts all popular.
They are either mannish or.
feminine, whichever you
choose, and they change
plain suit into either type,
according to the blouse
worn. They are of interest
ing fabrics, and often in
gay colors, to give interest
to your suit. Mannish
blouses are either in classic
tailored types, with tucked
bosom, and tailored collar
and cuffs, or of the waist
coat type, and come in silk
crepe, striped shirtings,
pique, gingham or linen.
Puffed sleeves and tied
necklines are popular on
more feminine types, which
range all the way from
organdie confections to
lovely crepes or satins.

Notes From Paris
Race Meet

Auteuil and the jumps
are the center around which
much of the animation Of
Paris centers these days.
And clothes rival the horses
in interest at each Of the
Sunday reunions, at least.
While the season is warmer
than usual, Paris always re-
acts to that first subtle
breath of spring in the air,
and every woman seems i'm
PEELED to buy herself at least
one new outfit and a half
a dozen hats. And there it
is that the greatest fashion
interest centers.
Height is the outstanding
characteristic of the new
millinery, and any direc-
tion in millinery is smart as
long as it is up. While back
height is admittedly more
generally used than any
other, still a number of
crowns have peaked fronts
and there are many Of the
little plaid Highland bon
nets, almost classic copies
of the standard regulation,
to be seen wherever smart
women gather.
However, the outstanding
favorite is undoubtedly the
Chechia, that later develop
ment of the fez which is not
above draping and folding
to make it more flattering
and attractive on the aver
age wearer. With the pres
ent adaptations it has lost
much of it's resemblance to
the rather severe fez which
required not only a most
youthful face, but also one
Of a very particular type
to carry it off satisfactorily.

.AFur Scarf viii
Transform You

Fur scarfs are enjoying a
new popularity for many
reasons; because suits and
dresses are so plain that
they need them, because furs
are so reduced in price that
it's an economy to buy them,
and because there are so
many fascinating new styles.
Flat fur collars button high

mean for those who do not
wish to be extreme. There
are modified versions of the
fez that are no more star
tling than a beret, and there
are crowns that put their
height at the back in a way
that is smart but also rather
casual.

they re worn with. They re
nearly always detachable so
that you can wear them
with your suit and your

Foxes are now Worn not
only in straight scarfs, but
in capes, double capelets,
and various arrangements
that make a sleeve too.
Small skins are grouped in
fours, skies, or even more,
so that they wind round or
hang long, and often you
can slip them through, or
under your arm, in many
different ways.

By Beatrice Fairfa2

Of a horrible experience with
a husband who destroyed every
illusion. Selma
I don't wonder you grow
discouraged, my dear Selma,
and perhaps you're a little
morbid, too. For certainly the
world has plenty of decent
men, even If it has its fair
proportion Of predatory males"
You haven't told me any
thing about the way you live.
If you live alone in an apart
ment or a hotel, be sure that
your address is above suspl-
cion-that nothing connected
with the place is questionable.
It doesn't take men long to
decide about women. The men
who work in the same organ
ization as you d. will not
take long in sizing you up
and spreading the report that
you are not the vamp and
siren your appearance implies.
You've just gone back to work;
give yourself 4 little time to
get adjusted and fall into your
proper niche. Lots and lots OF
nice men will be only too glad
to know and respect you.
