A course Of social work for volun-
teers, to meet the demand for an over
whelming volume of work faced by all
social agencies in the city, will be con-
Quoted by the Council Of Social Agen-
cies, Community Chest organization,
1t was announced yesterday.
The increased demands for social
workers have made it impossible for
the STATS Of the agencies to perform
the work properly, and the call for
volunteers has gone out.
There Is q definite need for the
services Of every person in Washington
who has leisure time to give to social
work." declared Mrs. w. A. Roberts,
executive secretary of the council. BE
cause Of this need the council is ar
ranging, In cooperation with the Jun
ior League, the Parent Teacher Associ-
alton, the Federation Of Churches and
other organizations a course of eight
lectures on present-day social problems.
Meeting To BE Held.
These are intended primarily to give
those not now actively engaged in So
cial work knowledge of the situation
as 1t exists today and suggestions as
to how the volunteer worker may do his
or her share In meeting the crisis
which washington, along with the rest
Of the country, is facing. Even during
war days the emergency was no greater
than 1t is today, and we feel that the
responsibility rests as heavily upon the
citizen as upon the professional
worker"
Under auspices Of the Junior League
the course will open with meeting at
II am. Monday, February 20, in the
ball room Of the Mayhower Hotel. Miss

Children's Theater Presents
Rebecca of Sunny brook"

"R EBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK

interesting story by Kate Douglas
Wigg1n, once again paraded its
characters to the delight OF the
many children present at the Ma
tional yesterday. Losing none of its
charming and entertaining qualities
by its transformation into three
act play, it offered the ever-smiling
and Cheeful Rebecca ample opportu-
My to captivate the hearts of her
young admirers, which, judging by
their evident approval, she did to
the queens taste.
Good acting, appropriate scenery
and sweet story enabled the Child
renS Theater Of New York to pre-
sent a production Of much merit
and in keeping with the ideal of
such theater.
Dorothy Major, as the vivacious
Rebecca, was every bit as michiev-
GUS and adorable as the one of book
fame, while jeremiah Cobb, as por-
trayed by Wendell Whitten, was
surprisingly convincing as the love-
able friend. The remaining roles
were enacted by John Hibbard, Gene

did much to further the worth of

Good Horror Film
Presented at Warmers Earle.

II
A FILM which, as the heroine re-
marks casually, makes Frank
enstein look like a lily" is now on
view at Warmers Earle. Entitled
1.-The Mystery of the wax Museum, :"
it tells pretty little tale Of mortals
who are turned into wax, and wax
which is turned into flesh and blood.
In one or two places 1t will scare
the life out Of you.
Wisely filmed in the somber light
provided by Technicolor, which still
is a far cry from reality, it takes
you into the innards Of museum,
where lives a funereal gentleman,
whose hands have been reduced to
charred bits, and whose face Is q
mask-all the results Of fire IN
which he and his wax figures were
burned to crisp. This genial gentle
man, who is slightly mad (more than
slightly, prowls around morgues.
whips corpses from their resting
places, puts masks on them, ana
reveals them as wax figures in ex-
hibitions. He is finally unearthed
when an ambitious sob sister" from
q daily paper discovers that miss
ing corpse is being shown as a model
of Joan of Arc in his museum. This
does not come about, however, until
Fay Wray has been almost reduced
to a corpse herself.
This moment, when the lovely
girl is about to be embalmed and
hoisted to q permanent wax poSterity,
is about as exciting an affair as
such things may be. Shots of wax
figures, Glenda Farrell, excellent as
Lionel Atwill's face crumbles to
pieces, and other scenes make this
one Of the best Of the horror films.
It should not be viewed by squeamish
folk-but should delight all those
who don't mind their imagination
running away from them.
The stage show Is notable for
Johnny Marvin's act-presenting
songs in pleasant, easy-going
fashion-the kind of an act that is
rare these dayS-and one which Is,
thankfully, enthusiastically received;
Olga Baklanova, screen siren, who
has surprisingly nice voice; SSolly
Ward, in some well-groomed humor
mot too well groomed); the Four
Golden Blondes, the Robbins Family
doing some excellent falls" and
Maxine Doyle, who at the opening
performance got along all right until
Johnny Marvin asked confusing
questions.

nevertheless the way in which Miss

the assistance given her by John

popular.
The reason for its success IS
partly due to the fact that ladies

that many, many lone females at

Secrets Of Health
By LOUIS E. BTSCH
Famou. Authority ON Health and r.ycholor,

Most of us, when day-dream-
ing, have gazed at wallpaper
designs or at clouds and have
made pictures out of them;
that is, we have allowed our
faculty of imagination free
play, and by means of it have
invented faces. animals, land
scapes and the like.
A similar mental process oc-
ours when we fold a sheet of
paper in half on which there
is a fresh ink blot, press the
paper together, and then ask
ourselves what the resultant
ink smear suggests to us.
These methods are really
tests of the imagination. We
can. however, with less stimu.
lation from the outside, fashion
within our minds even more
original images. What this then
amounts to is creative thinking
the sort of mental activity
which gives rise to novels,
plays and works of art, not to
mention discoveries, new ways
Of doing things and that type
of productive mental activity
which builds big business enter
prises.
A simple method of determin-
ing whether your imagination
is all that it should be consists
in taking a few words-"cue
words" we might call them
and then, out of the richness
of our own mental associations,
building up a complete thought.
For example, if I give you
the three words-Fred, gone,
and store-and ask you to COM
plete the sentence with any
words you can think of, you
might say: Fred had gone to
the store" Here I supplied
three words and your active i'm
agination supplied three.
At the end of this article
you will find a paragraph tell
ing a story 1t contains eleven
cue words and phrases. After
studying them, and out of them,
by supplying additional thoughts
from your own imagination you
are to make up a story of your
own. You may supply as many
words as you like, and compose
as many sentences as you like,
provided the cue words are used
in the sequence given and the
whole story is logical.
The cue words are as follows:

.a. A Pulse Tinging Novel Of Modern Youth
BY the Author Of "A FIapPer Wife,
WASH HINCTON FASHIONS

The Easter costumes are all
assembled, or should be. You've
decided on the last detail, down
to stockings, gloves and jewelry.
SO now it's time to turn your at
tention to the clothes you will
need between Easter and really
hot weather. Clothes for day
time are probably already ar
ranged for, or planned. There
must be something for street.
sheer and cool for warm days,
and easy to wear under coat
for cool days. There must be
evening clothes, perhaps no
more than you already have.
And there must be some casual
clothes for evenings at home,
informal dinners, the Sunday
night type of occasion.
Semi.FOrmal FrOcks
Again we suggest prints for
clothes of this type. And again
we suggest that they should be
versatile, suitable for more than
one occasion. It may be a
jacket frock, or a dress with q
cape that will fill your require
ments, for they can nearly al
ways be worn on the street, or
at least for luncheon and tea
with their jackets, then will do,
for dinner without the jacket.
Or it may be a simple little
dress with capelet sleeves, the
type that you find dozen uses
for in late spring and summer.
and that you can always de-
pend on when you simply have
nothing else to wear. We've
had dress of this type in our
wardrobe every year, and today
we present this years version.
Convertible Back
The dress is of a heavy sheer
print, in the most delightful
color combination, gray, yellow
and white, with a line of black
here and there, and considerable
accent of a soft rust tone It's
a rather large flower print, de-
cidedly distinctive. 1t is made
with silk crepe sash of the
rusty tone, and edging on all
ruffles of rust. A flat piece
makes the front of the rather
high neckline, and extends on
over the shoulders and down the
sides of the back, where it is
joined by more ruffles that
make the sleeves. But the most
attractive feature of all is that
the back, snugly buttoned up
for day time, may be unbuttoned
on the shoulders, and folded
down to make sun back, or to
make it more formal looking for
dinner and informal evening
wear. This dress isn't expensive,
though you might suspect it is
from the beauty of the print. 1t
is priced $3.50, and comes in
other combinations of color.
For fashion information, or
the name of the shop where you
can find this frOek, write Miss
LaViIle, enclosing self-addresSed,

Dear Miss Fairfax:

have been going with a boy
for whom I thought I cared a
lot, but anything I was in
terested in he always Knocked"
until I got tired of it and quit.
Now he goes with a girl friend
of mine, and whenever we all
meet together he calls attention
to my clothes. He is very con-
ceited.
Another boy-one I met three
years ago, who was a school
mate-also called on me the
other day when I was out. I
always liked him better than
most of my other school friends.
Do you think it would be proper
for me to call him up? I know
his telephone number, but I
don't want him to think I'm
running after him. He is very
sincere and think that counts
more, after all. He doesn't
"pet," and like that about him.
Would you also advise me as
to stationery for formal and in
formal use-the color and size?

If the young man made a

Upon 31a quick tricks and a
fair heart suit, East made an
opening bid of Heart. fourth
hand. Bidding then went
South, 2-Spades; West, 3-Dia-
monds; North. pass; East, pass;
South, 3-SpadeS; West, Ada
monds; North, 4-Spades; East,
double. Holding no probable de-
fensive trick, West should have
bid 5-Diamonds, rather than let
the game bid be played doubled,
but he passed. Neither side was
vulnerable. Can you see any
way of defeating the hand?
Naturally West made an
opening lead of his singleton
heart. Dummy's Ace won.
Dummy'S 7 of spades was led.
East's Ace won, and that player
led back a heart for his partner
to ruff. The 9 of spades won
the trick. Counting the dia-
monds in dummy, it was cvi-
dent to West that unless his
partner held the lone Ace, no
diamond trick could be won. If
East held the 40 of clubs the
contract could at once be de-
feated, in case West led club,
so he led his of clubs, and
East won the third and last
trick for his side with the Ace
of clubs. Not knowing that
West held eight diamonds, East
led his Ace of that suit, hoping
at once to beat the contract,
before the declarer could dis
card a diamond upon dummy'S
j of hearts. The declarer
trumped the diamond lead and
proceeded to pull East's spades.
Then South led a low club, win
ming the trick with dummy's K.
After which he spread the hand,
claiming the balance of the
tricks, as both his spades and
clubs held no losers.
AS sometimes happens, a dou-
Dle-Qummy leaQ would nave
beaten the contract. Suppose
West had led a club, instead of
a heart; East's Ace would have
won the trick, and he could
have led back a club, which
dummy would have won. When
the declarer led a trump East
could have won with his Ace,
giving his side it's second trick.
West could have ruffed a re-
turn lead of clubs, giving his
side a third defensive trick. One
added trick must have gone to
East's K of hearts, thus defeat
ing the contract by a single
trick. But why should West
lead a club, when his partner
bid hearts?
Before tomorrow think over
what would have happened had
West bid 5-Diamonds, and
played that contract.
