Brown and white always has
been a favorite color combina-
ton of mine. However, while it
may sound trivial, the thing
which "sold" me this dress,
which I purchased in Paris, was
the brown satin bow. For some
reason, it seemed to set off the
simplicity of the lines. The
dress itself is made of silk, flat
crepe, and while designed par
ticularly for street attire, could
be worn in a pinch at an in
formal dinner.
The color combination OF
brown and white makes it an
ideal gown for wear with a dark
fur coat.
From my own personal view
point, there is nothing more at
tractive for street wear than a
simple frock along the lines Of
this dress. It could be worn
with little crepe jacket, but
with this particular dress I pre-
fer the heavier coat.
Incidentally, I find that right
here in Los Angeles one can
find as pretty, we'll designed and
made street frocks of this ma
ture as can be purchased in
Paris, and at a much more NOM
inal cost. Our dressshop win
dows all have dresses that can
not be surpassed in Paris.

find that nearly all girls
of school age were generously
provided with such accessories
as evening bags and hair orna-
mentS by Santa Claus, but
these larger items. dresses and
wraps, are yet to come in many
cases.
WOOIies For Sports
Lingerie and other essentials
must be refurnished too, and
new supplies bought.
Good items to consider are
the wooly sports underwear
seen about town, knitted OF
wool mixed with such soft tex
tile as angora or rabbits hair.
and warmer than toast. They
are excellent for winter sports
and for cold days about town.
Good Crepe Best
Handmade lingerie is not
quite as popular this year as
it has been before. 1t seems
that more people are going IN
for good quality machine-made
silk crepe. rather than pay the
difference for hand work.
AS a result. there is more
and better crepe lingerie on the
market.
Warm Robes Needed
Warm robes are another item
that girls must have, and SO lar
their choice is for solid color
flannels.
Sometime; they are in two
tones of the same color, with
embroidered monogram on the
pocket. Others are strictly
tailored. with dark pearl but
tons. and no trimming of any
kind.
Flannel the FavOrite

The
Styles
BY Victoria Gaines

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-When
the Metropolitan Opera opens
it's doors tonight on the 1888
1884 season, smart society will
turn out in it's best bib and
tucker for the opening night Of
the opera is still "the" social
and sortorial event Of the sea-
son.
Mid-Victorian as the costumes
on the stage will be, in keeping
with the period of Peter 1b-
betson," which has been Sc
lected as the opening perform
ance, fashions in the audi
ence will be up to the very last
minute.
The Golden Horseshoe has
never held a more glittering
array than will be seen tonight
in the magnificent jewels, rich
furs and luxurious fabrics Of
this season.
Elegance
For luxury and elegance are
the leitmotif of the mode this
season. Favorites among the
frocks will be the lustrous lame
gowns, in gold or silver, the
beaded or bead trimmed frocks
of crepe or velvet, not to men,
ton the sparkling sequins and
rhinestones which will gleam
from many costumes.
Dropped shoulder necklines
will afford perfect setting for
the display Of magnificent
jewels rescued from family
vaults for the occasion. Sweep
ing trains will bring back men,
ories of the Metropolitan in its
heyday, and feather fans and
boas will further recall the old
time splendor of a Metropolitan
opening.
Evening costumes of such
formality as is demanded by
the opera discard jackets in
favor of frockS which require
full-length wraps. While there
will be the usual turnout of
ermine and mink, many smart
women will choose the classic
velvet wrap, in plain velvet or
with ermine trimming.
Crowned Heads
All heads will be crowned
heads this evening, for no
coiffure is chic without it's
weled tiara this season.
Hands lifted to peer through
lorgnettes will be gloved in the
conventional white kid or in
velvet or satin dyed to match
the frock.

colors are becoming to her, and
precisely what vari a ton in
shades is required for flattery.
Complementary
# her skin is naturally ruddy,
she can make it look pale just
by the colors she wears in cos
metics and costume. If the skin
she was born with is naturally
sallow and dull, she simply
gravitates to those tints which
give her a seeming radiant and
healthy glow.
Moreover, colors not only
complement compilations and
express personality, but have a

He learns to slap by being
slapped. He learns to be un-
truthful by hearing white
lies"
Dad and Heroes
He learns to be brave be-
cause he sees that daddy" Is
unafraid. Or because he ad-
mires a certain childish hero
and yearns to initiate his deeds.
Stories that "firemen aren't
afraid" will do much to cure a
little boy Of fears of the dark
or fears of going into strange
rooms.
All little boys admire firemen
and at certain periods Of their
development plan to be fire
men when they grow up. Or,
in other instances, engineers or
policemen.
Family Mirror
Habits and manners of speech
are acquired by imitation.
Thank you" and please" are
used by children who hear
them used in their own family
circle.
Listen to your child's CONVEX
Sation and you will hear a re-
Election of your own. He uses
the very intonation Of your
voice. Or his nurses voice. He
used phrases he has heard you
or daddy use, whether they are
those of courtesy or rudeness
and ill temper.
Fears, likes and dislikes are
all limitations of the feelings
of others. They are not in
herited as mothers sometimes
are inclined to think.
Examples
A child will be afraid of a
mouse or spider if he sees
mother afraid of them. Whether
mother knows it or not she
shows her fear, unless she is
very careful, in her face or
voice.
A child does not pick up bad
habits any more easily than
good ones. But once the habits
have been firmly implanted
they are difficult to break.
Emphasis placed on the
"bad" ones by anxious parents
fasten them more firmly in
the child's mind.
A child initiates all kinds Of
behavior. Give him a pleasant
pattern to copy.

The Rhymin8
Optinist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
Loves Slave

I cannot bid love come or go,
at will,
AS though it were a light
switched off and on,
Instead of some great orb whose
glorieS spill
Across life's theshold with the
glow of dawn.
Nor am I Joshua, to command
the sun
Stand still in heaven for a full
days space;
So when love wills, it comes,
and so is gone
While I am painting, still, for
it's embrace.
There have been those who
planted careful seeds
And said: when April comes
then love will bloom:
So versed were they in all its
ways and needs,
For them it flowered, yielding
rare perfume.
However much of prayer or care
I gave,
I have not been loves master,
but loves slave.

Child Health
Ques tions

Question: I have been bow
legged all my life and am afraid
my little girl will inherit this
defect. Could you suggest any
way to prevent it?-Mrs. N. P.
Answer: Bowlegs are due to a
deficiency in the diet in in
fancy and early childhood. One
doesn't inherit them. Cod-liver
oil, like direct sunlight, is the
surest preventive. Give the Oil
regularly twice a day. Keep
your baby outdoors whenever
possible and see that she gets
plenty of sunshine.
The Washington times., 1933-12-26

Sleeps Lightly
Question: My six months old
baby sleeps very lightly. He is
otherwise in good health, eats
well and is out of doors the
greater part Of the day.
Mrs. r. w.
Answer: It may be that you
play with him too roughly or
vigorously just before bedtime.
All play from 4 o'clock on
should be quiet. Again he may
not be entirely comfortable or
too warm. It may be, also,
that the room in which he
sleeps is too light, too noisy
and not sufficiently aired. A
cool bath or a warm one, de-
pending on the weather, just
before bedtime might help.

Avoid Strenuous Sports


Question: I am expecting my
first child in about six months.
/ am very fond of golf and
drive my own car but I am
worried about keeping them up.
My doctor says 1 should take
some form of exercise.
Mrs. B. T.
Answer: There is no doubt
that the pregnant woman needs
exercise but she should avoid
strenuous sports. Golf may be
kept up moderately during the
first half of your term but you
should abandon it thereafter.
Motoring over rough roads or
long distances should be avoided.
Driving a car involves addi-
tional risks and should be done
moderately and cautiously.
Horseback riding and tennis
should be dropped. Swimming
involves certain risks that make
it inadvisable.
Walking (not too long tramps
or too fast) is an excellent ex-
ercise for women during preg-
nancy. Be careful. however, not
to become fatigued.

A NEW DEAL

We have heard much of the new
deal we are to receive nationally. Evil
dence that 1t is to be q reality has
been given
or the new deal which was to be
meted out to us by our state legisla-
ture the less said the better.
With the rest of the state the Island
Is facing an educational situation
without parallel. Our schools are not
only poverty stricken but they are
worse. With only two exceptions each
of the six grammar districts are deep
ly In debt. And it requires an optimist
to even attempt to figure out when the
high school will pull out of the morass
of warrant indebtedness.
There Is no doubt that the new
directors are taking their responsible
ties seriously and are determined to
put into execution sound business
methods. They will base their as
sumptions, not on what the county
superintendent Of schools says should
be so, but on the basis OF what they
know to be so. They do not intend
to take chances that will get us
further into debt.
We are going to get a new deal in

membering that not only our own
taxes but those OF our neighbor who
possibly had only meager chance for
education will be proportionateiy less
next year,
These new board members need our
moral support. They are going to do
their level best TO put into operation
an economy program. And II is our
duty, us good Island citizens, TO take
whatever they deem wisest without
any complaint. None of us are living
on our 1920 level so It isn't going to
hurt to lower our standard OF cduca-
ton back to essentials and less frllls.
And our children, being adaptable
young things, will get Just as much or
more benefit from their school work
next year as they have from any prev
ious year.

Imagine yourself being handed q
million dollars from an unknown
benefactor-what would you do first?
In the Paramount feature, If Had u
Million, showing at the vashon
Theatre this week, that Ia the prob
lem confronting eight different people.
An eccentric old mlllionaire--or should
we say multi-multi- millionaire2--de-
cides to fool his relatives and leave
his wealth to eight people picked at
random from the city directory. One
million falls to q girl In speak-easy

goes to a clerk In china store, and
another TO bool,keeper. This last
part rs played by Charles Laughton.

YOU gets another million, a broken
down old actress, q murderer about to
be hanged, and q marine. come in for
their share. Gary Cooper Is the
marine, and when you know that Jack
Oakie ana Roscoe Harms are brother
marines who help him dispose Of his
million, you know you are going to be
treated to some good laughs. The last
of the eight lucky recipients Is All
inmate Of an old ladies' home, and our
old favorite May Robson takes that
part.

cast like that land Richard Bennett,

school matters Just In proportion to
our individual willingness to cooper
ate with these directors who are
honestly going to do what they car
for the schools, the patrons and par
t!cularly the taxpayers. But they can
do Just as much or as little as we per-
nit. There is going TO have to be a
lot of cooperating on the part Of
everyone. Transportation is RESPONSE
BILE for too much Of the debt now ac-
crued. For years our children have
been riding to and from school pain
lessly. II the bus service Is eliminated
II Is going to cause lot of protest,
but remember that we are at the point
where expenses MUST be cut. Let's
console ourselves by figuring out how
much better mile walk to and from
school will be for our youngsters than
the same length ride in bus. 1t in
itself will be an excellent course in
physical development If not in educa-
ton. And your high school boy will
not be bit tireder from n two mile
walk than he now is after the ordl-
nary football or baseball practice.
Think Of the saving on athletics that
can be made.
There is possibility that our Is
land schools may not open until
October and that the term will be
shortened considerably. This too will
hurt but let's console ourselves by re-
