To wear the correct thing, the
smart thing without being mo-
notonous, that is the problem.
Every woman who wears even
ing clothes very much, has at
least one dark sheer in her ward
robe. Most of them are jacket
dresses, so that they will be
versatile, and answer for many
occasions. But after two or
three seasons, she tires of her
black sheer with a jacket, and,
although she knows she has
a new one every now and then,
she suspects that her friends
and acquaintances think it is
the same dress, or at least the
old dress made over. So the
problem with many Of us is to
find the right dress, and to
have it different.
For Twilight Hours
The first way to make your
dress look new, is to discard the
Jacket idea. That isn't so easy,
as you want something that is
formal, yet may be worn for
those fairly informal dinners
when you don't know whether
your hostess expects you to
dress or not. But if you have
a neckline that is high in front,
and something over your shoul-
ders, you are about as we'll pre-
pared as if you had a jacket.
Such a gown is ideal for your
vacation too, as you're always
finding yourself in seminal
situations when you travel. or
when you visit in the country,
or in a home that you do not
know so well.
Dark COIOrS Smart
Then to be different, try a
new color. If you've been wear
ing black, have a sheer brown
dress. You can do marvellous
things with accessories, using
chartreuse, pink, dusty blue,
white and many others with
brown. If you're tired of brown
already, have dark vivid blue,
new and smart for evening. Or
if you think the dress is un-
usual enough. stick to your
black, which, after all. is the
most practical, and is always
smart. 1t is the choice of most
Parisiennes the majority of the
time, and also of many well
dressed Americans.
Quaint Back FuIlneSS
Such a marvellous gown we
have sketched for you today.
The bertha-like neckline is
tucked, then edged with a ruff
11e, and it is both high in front,
and extended to cover the
shoulders. The ruffleS in the
back make a graceful skirt in
motion, and suggest back full
ness, which will be better than
ever this fall. The back is cut

How to Conquer Your Feelings 4
of InferiOrity

How to Conquer Your Feelings
of InferiOrity
It is probably no exaggeration
to state that one out Of every
four persons is handicapped by
feelings of inferiority.
To be sure, it would be impoS-
sible to estimate the exact num-
ber Of such supposedly inferior
individuals. People usually do
not talk about what harasses
them. Often they are afraid Of
being laughed at or of being
misunderstood Often, too, they
are ashamed to confess to what
they consider a mental weak
ness.
Scores of capable men and
women, however, never make
good" because some variety of
inferiority conviction is holding
them back. They may realize
exactly why still, small voice
keeps whispering "You can't do
it," and they may not. Or they
may suspect where the trouble
lies but not feel sure.
At any rate, the first step to-
ward overcoming inferiority
ideas is to find the cause. This
cause must be faced honestly
and unflinchingly no matter
what it may be.
Inferiority may arise, for in
stance, from a severe scolding
received when a child. The

Correct Manners
By Cornelius Beeckman
Dear Mrs. Beecknan:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When one is served iced tea
that has a slice of lemon placed
over the rim of the glass, is it
proper to take the lemon be-
tween the fingers and squeeze
the juice into the tea, or should
the slice of lemon be dropped
right into the glass? H.
It's usually a difficult pro-
cedure to squeeze the juice from
a slice of lemon. I think that
you'll find the most convenient
way is to drop the slice of lemon
into the beverage and use the
iced tea spoon to squeeze the
juice from the lemon.
Far better than serving the
slice of lemon, especially draped
over the edge of the glass, is the
serving of a quarter of lemon
placed on the plate underneath
the glass. Then we can con-
veniently take the quarter of
lemon in our fingers and squeeze
as much of the juice into the
glass as we wish.

His Picture

This is the picture I would
paint,
Neither a wording nor a saint,
A man some people labeled
"queer"
Because he was always sincere,
A fetish, this, with him from
youth,
To tell no more nor less than
truth.
He wore no hint of sprouting
wings,
Yet he was kind to weaker
things:
The old, the feeble and the child
And all earth's little creatures
wild
The tiny things with silken fur
Or fragile, painted wings astir.

West hoped to win 2 spade
tricks. His partners club bid
made West hope that his part
ner held the Ace of that suit,
and that a ruff Of clubs might
defeat the contract 2 tricks, so
West led his singleton club, that
dummy'S Ace captured.
Two rounds Of trumpS picked
up the missing ones, then
dummy'S 10 of clubs was led,
giving East the first trick for
his side, by winning with his K.
East led a spade, and West won
with the K.
It seemed wiser for West to
lead his Q of diamonds, rather
than lead his Ace of spades. He
seriously doubted If the de-
clarer held another spade, and
it would be poor strategy to es-
tablish the @ of spades in dunn
my, to permit the declarer to
discard upon the spade a losing
diamond.
That diamond lead came too
late. The declarer won the
trick with his Ace, then he dis
carded dummy'S last diamond
upon his own good club, before
spreading his hand for 5-odd,
which an opening lead of a dia-
mond would have defeated.

Diet Hint

Generally speaking, eggs
should be cooked at a low tenn
perature in order to keep them
from becoming tough. For hard
boiling, place the egg in warm
water; bring this to the boiling
point gradually; keep it at boil
ing point for 10 minutes. For
soft boiling, simply place the
egg for three minutes in boiling
water, possibly five according to
preference. Another way is to
place the egg in boiling water,
remove from stove, and allow
egg to remain in the water for
10 minutes.

Late Fashion
Flashes

Wooden heads are those who
won't go for the new hats made
Of wood veneers. The wood is
so treated that it is as flexible
and supple as any material. A
new model is done in white
linen with brim of the wood
in light brown and a crown
band Of wood in a darker hue.
Under cover are hands and
arms these days as more and
more women turn to summer
gloves. With sleeveless dresses,
one girl wears long gloves Of
white silk, the upper arm
marked by close shirring to the
elbow.
An addition to the family of
wood accessories is the glove
with wood cuffs. The glove it
self has the hand of knitted
linen with elastic threads. It
has a gauntlet cuff of thin
wood done in three grains and
is ever so attractive.

Triangle, the Germantown branch
OF the YM.C.A. carries an editorial
of highest praise for the charity
racketeers for the wonderful way
they h ad prevented starvation
among the unemployed in the last
year."
Then after this whitewash of the

starving the 100000 unemployed in
Philadelphia, for the last year and
shedding crocodile tears over the
troubles their capitalist masters are
having balancing their budgets, they
print an article headed news from
Poland. In this they boast that they
are putting the Communists relief
organizations out of business by
feeding several hundred clerical
workers with funds furnished by the
government, and to show his appre-
citation, Pilsudski had furnished them
with more funds and instructed them
to broaden their activities.
Workers should understand why

his soup to try to keep the starving
workers from organizing for the

MISSOURI TOWN
GETS READY
Workers Uncover Evil
dence in Building
Council

NOVINGER, Mo.-A group of I'M
employed workers met at Kirksmills,
Mo-, on New Years Day and formed
an Unemployed Council. Relief is
being given here through the forced
labor system. The jobless workers are
given two days work here on the
streets or woodpile every two weeks
and the bosses have announced that
they are going to cut it to one day
every two weeks. The wages are
1925 per day paid in groceries. They
have been holding back part Of the
groceries, telling them they would
get them when they needed them
more.
One case the workers took up was
that of a man and wife and three
small children, who had been evicted
in small town just across the coun-
ty line and had managed to get a
small house in Kirksmills, but had
nothing to eat.
The associated charities refused
them aid on the grounds that they
were not citizens of the county. We
were forced to take a collection for
their immediate relief. The collec-
ton, of course, had to come from
employed workers and small business
men. A great deal of indignation
was expressed by the contributors
Such statements as What the he'll
are we paying that damn charity for
anyway were common.
Another case was that of a man
and wife who had lived here all theil
| lives, but were refused aid because
they had no children. Cases like
these are coming to the attention OF
the council.
Taxes are eating up the farmers
hereabouts and also city home own
ers. The county physician is draw
ing $500 a month for charity cases
and he charges as high as $25 for
country calls. The county court has
announced that they can give no
relief to new cases.
The clerk of the county told me
that there is about $1,000,000 on de-
post in the four banks here, and only
about $4,000 of 1t is taxed.
The workers are organizing with
enthusiasm and determination. They
intend to expose these conditions and
fight them with mass action. The
council is checking up on other
cases of restitution and making plans
for action.

you are not entitled to relief"
After 3 weeks she went back ana
told them her family was freezing.
They told her she would have to
move into smaller place before they
would give relief. She looked at the
rooms they told her to take. There
was no gas or electricity and the
toilet was in the yard and a sink in
the hall. Either she would have to
move here or not get relief.
