Women's Overseas League Aids
Feminine Veterans Of World War
Handicapped by Service .

One of Washington's least
publicized women'S organiza-
tions is the District chapter of
the Women's Overseas League,
Of which Mrs. Wallace ChiSwell
is one Of the most active mem
berS.
Mrs. Chiswell was instru-
mental in organizing the local
chapter Of the league and, al
though not now an officer, she
takes a leading part in all its
activities.
The local league is small. It
has, in all. not over a hundred
members. Membership is re.
Stricted to women who actually
saw service overseas in the
World War, which explains its
exclusivenesS.
Mrs. Chiswell herself drove an
ambulance in France. She
went overseas with the women'S
ambulance unit organized by
Mrs, J. Borden Hartman. and
can tell, when pressed, a hun.
dred stories Of adventures and
thrills under fire. However,
like all veterans Of the war, she
dislikeS to talk about her ex.
perienceS. The World War is
one great conflict which veter-
ans think is best forgotten.
The purpose of the National
Women's Overseas League, as
explained by Mrs. Chiswell, is
to aid those women who paid
in health or prosperity for their
services to their country. The
local chapter, for example, en-
tirely supports one heroic woman
who sacrificed career and health
for her country.
Mrs. Chiswell is deeply in
tereSted in all patriotic organi-
zationS. She is chairman Of
the American Red Cross Club
and a member Of the Gray
Ladies Of Walter Reed HoSpi-
tai. The Red Cross Club, in.
cidentaily. is now devoting its

When the last scene has been
shot, the director cannot pack

The previews Of the picture are

announce to the sleepy-eyed direc-
tor that the picture Of which he
is so proud viii never do for the

director girdS up whatever one

shouts for all hands and goes at
the picture again, Restocking
much Of it and swearing through
his teeth because some Of the
points that pleased him most
must now be eliminated.
Originally directors had q worse
time than they do today because
people used to have little patience
and everybody. particularly the
new actors were thinking OF
themselves and feeling that they
could not be really great unless
they splaShed temperament and
ideas all over the place.
Today not only the actors, but
everybody concerned are showing
greater tolerance and under.
standing. This is partly because
there are now so many legitimate
actors in the talkies and they all
know what Is means to be good
trouperS. .
Their acceptance Of unpleasant
situations has, 7 feel. steadied
the colts in the profession very
often.
The Divers Who Bring Up the
OF course the public sees only
the actors, but they are only a
small part of the making Of q
picture.
There are the scenic men and
the light men who lie all day
on their stomachs on the rafterS,
working with the directors.
There are property men who
can get you anything from q
peanut to an express train on q
moments notice, electricians who
have long ago mastered DINNERS
and spots and borders anG have
climbed to the zenith of their
art, construction experts who
know how to build mountains
and cities with magical ironwork
so that the actors are safe while
fake earthquakes or volcanoes or
sea storms apparently wreak
havoc.

This impression is gained
from the fact that literally

Few Of these aspirantS would

ZONE now, Miss Junior, 1t is quite
~ time to decide as to whether it
will be new coat or a new suit for
spring or both. OF course the ideal
solution of the problem is a coat and
a suit There are times when coat
is absolutely Indispensable, and smart
ly clad indeed Is she who tops a dash
vance spring coat which fiaunts the
latest touches.
AS for a suit, with good supply of
tuned-to-t ime-and-place blouses (some
strictly tailored, others as feminine
and frivolous as frilly jabots and lacy
details can make them) it is as re
current a springtime theme as the
''first robin" Speaking of blouses re-
minds US of fad which is going the
rounds. 1t is the blouse made of vivid
bandana kerchiefs.
The girlish suit of quality-kind
grayish green flannel in the picture is
one of those refined types which are
making widespread appeal this sea-
son. It's outstanding claim to high
fashion is the fact that 1t is raglan
type and utmost emphasis is being
placed on these loose unbelted eff
fects.
AS to coats there is lot being said
and done in regard to furless types
for spring. These gain distinction
through artful fabric manipulation
which achieves shapely lines through
ingenious seamings and queer little
turns and quirks of the cloth which
result In unusual necklines. likewise
clever shoulder and sleeve silhouettes.
While the two coats illustrated
give the impression of extreme SIM
plicity, In the final analysis they are
ever so revealing as to actual style
trends. The thing to observe about
the coat to the left is it's clever collar
and scarf combination. This is In
keeping with the idea prevailing
among designers that If coat be fur
less there really ought to be some
sort of scarf treatment in evidence.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-03-16
USE NEW ANGLES TO
HIDE EXCESS BULK

Alphabetically constructed clothes
have given the feminine figure a new
silhouette. Full Of angles and those
modern blocked effects though 1t Is, 1t
is by no means deprived of the better
curves.
Stairstep blocking to produce a
towering effect, is worked out in trim
ming and in stitching when the figure
is too generously built to permit the
bulky effect of material.
If the hips are large but the shout
ders inclined to be narrow, the block
ing begins at the shoulders and tapers
off at the hips.
Wherever the most conspicuous part
of the body, place there the least
amount of emphasis.
Color is another thing to remember
to avoid for natures overgrown parts.
Large people, as rule, do better in
somber colors and very fine stripes,
which tend to slenderize the figure.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-03-16

There is another message conveyed In
this model, namely the vogue for trim
ming touches of velvet on the spring
cloth coat. In the coat pictured vel
vet goes fifty-ffty with cloth for the
wide single scarf end. There are also
velvet cOrdings at the waistline and
on the sleeves. The notable thing
about the other coat in the picture is
that it carries rather boyish air. 1t
seems the younger clientele are hav-
ing their coats fashioned somewhat
after the lines of their brothers and
what's more they are topping their
boyish coats with felt hats which sug-
gest masculine derby and fedora In
fiuence. The picture gives the idea.
Note the self-fabric scarf. The sleeves
are interesting in that they gain their
shapely mid-arm fullness through a
perfectly tailored scanning at the ell
bow.
In a general survey one is brought
to realize that coats for girls In their
teens divide into two distinct classes.
On the one hand there are the very
sporty models and In contrast there
are the ladylike dressier types which
are emfnently refined and genteel
looking. For the former, ravishing
tweeds are cited in colors which
gladden. the heart in their youthful
gaiety. When it comes to monotone
tweeds there is a grayed green which
is the hit of the season. Soldier blue,
which is lighter than navy, is also
proving a great favoriate. And If you
are wanting to look every inch voguish
you will choose plaid wool for your
early spring coat. Plaids are all the
rage for suits as well. So also are
checks.

THERE are signs indicating that
L the administration is going to mod
ify it's stand and that of its predeces-
sors concerning the war debts. Some
Republicans in the senate tried to put
through resolution offered by Rob-
inson of Indiana asking the President,
If not Incompatible with public inter-
est, to inform the senate by what
agreements he had accepted token
payments from Great Britain, Italy
and Czechoslovaka and had recognized
them as not In default. 1t also asked
what steps. If any, have been taken
to induce defaulting nations to pay;
whether any understandings have
been reached concerning revision; and
whether any assurances have been
given linking debt payments with
tariff concessions.
The Democratic leadership In the
senate succeeded In having the reso-
luton sidetracked into the foreign re-
lations committee. Senator Robinson
of Arkansas made a speech openly re-
ferring to the necessity for some FUR
ther concessions on the part OF the
United States If any further payments
are to be obtained. but he denied that
negotiations looking to revision had
taken place yet.
The vote on the motion to commit
the resolution showed there has been
considerable change from the opin-
ion held in the senate in December,
1881. when the Hoover moratorium
resolution was passed successfully
only after 1t had been amended to In
clude a reservation reiterating con-
gress' unalterable opposition to re-
vision or cancellation of the debts.

Fancy turns to piastron and bib eff,
fects. 1t will be worth your while to
make tour of investigation along
these lines when next you saunter
through realms of new neckwear. The
plastron pictured is a very practical
sort. 1t is made of beige linen and
is detachable, since it ties and but
tons as you see. OF course the cuffs
are of matching linen. You will at
once agree that this strikingly new &C
cessory set of plastron and cuffs lifts
this chartreuse messy crepe frock into
the ranks of high fashion. It's grand
idea If you want to freshen up your
midseason dress so that it will carry
over modishly into spring. The new
bib effects are lovely, especially those
which are literally covered with row
upon row of either sheer pleating or
narrow lace.

Clothes for Spring Are
Practical and Attractive

In general, spring clothes are con-
servative and wearable. The two
piece dress, for example, an ultra-prac-
teal frock, is back after an absence
of several years.
There are no extravagant changes.
Radical sleeves have gone. Every
thing has normal shoulder line, or,
in suits, simple raglan shoulder. The
silhouette is still slender, with curves,
but the waistline is a little simmer
and more fitted than before. Lengths
have not changed.
