Commissioners Again Oppose
Sale of Tenley School.

TINE Commissioners have con-
tinued their opposition to the
sale of the old Tenley Pub
lie School on Wisconsin avenue.
The bill authorizing the Commits
sioners to sell this property to st.
AIMS Catholic Church was passed
by both House and Senate over the
opposition OF the District Com
miSsioners, Board of Education,
Federation of Citizens Associations
and several other civic groups.
The District Commissioners have
reported their opposition to the
President on the ground that this
property. while temporarily out of
use by the schools, may be again
required for school purposes.
The officials of the Public Libra
ry have looked over this property
and have expressed the opinion
that this old building could be
economically remodeled into
branch library for that section.
The Tenleytown Branch Library is
now very poorly housed in the old
abandoned police sub-station. 1t
has been pointed out in this con-
nection that should the old build
ing be turned over to the Library
the remainder of the site could
continue to be used as a play
ground for the adjoining Janney
Public School.

 Paris (UP)-It may be that be- cause the tam- O -shanter hat leak cd out before it's "creators" intend cd that it should, we're in for a master surprise with the fast ap- preaching showing of the August collections.
 Dresmakers and hatmakers get pretty hot under the collar when their ideas get sprung before they themselves have pulled the strings, and they are just as apt as not to go back into a huddle with them selves and burst out with some- thing so different from what any body would expect as to cause a quasi-revolution.
 Because all the department stores are showing these overgrown berets in velvet and felt and such, is the biggest reason we base our hunch upon that high class society will have none of 'em. Just wait and see is all we can say, and it won't be long, either.
 We can say, however, that noth- ing will stop the influx of some pretty gorgeous materials for our winter coats and frocks. We thought we had some pretty fine examples of the fabric makers art last winter and this summer too, but they have done some high powered thinking these past few months and produced some pretty elegant results with metal threads and two-sided materials as foreign to each other as possible so that they may serve two completely op- posed uses.

SR YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Bsrtoo

Usually there is one little willing dog in the house who carries and fetches for the rest.
 That's the girl" beams Mother when she says she left her glasses upstairs and Josie trorts off. q wonder where my matches are" mnrmurs Daddy. glancing at the one he knows will save him asking the favor by getting them at once.
 Service never hurts any child but grim sense of responsibility is just about the worst Old Man of the Sea any person can carry with him through life. A reasonable amount of it--yes-but a driving extra portion that wears one out no.
 A Bad Example, Too It's this way. The willing mule will always be allowed to pull the load. And the willing child will be imposed on almost every time un- less someone is right there to pro- tect him.
 It is as bad for the other chill dren in a family as it is for little Sunshine too, because the others learn to soldier.
 It is often the boy of a family who is chosen for the pack work. Not all boys resort to tricks to get out of errands and chores.
 It often happens, however, that when the one boy is the youngest with two or three olders sisters, he won't be expected to do turn. This hand-picked male is seldom the willing horse. But let him come into the world first, with sis ters to follow, and he is likely to have his hands full.
 This, of course, won't hurt him unless it is carried to the extreme of imposition. The point is that it is bad for the rest. One chap of twelve I kno wis never allowed to rest a minute. All the errands de- volve on him. He has two sisters, and the ten-year-old Is the laziest youngster on earth.
 The boy isn't always willing. He grumbles a lot and growls, "Why can't Dodo do that? I'm tired"
 You can guess what the answer is. 'Why, a big strong boy like you tired? The ideal Besides, Dodo cant polish the windows!"
 Parents DOIst Notice
 AS 1t happens, Dodo could polish car windows very well, and even clean the car. In the first place, she Is well and strong. In the sec ond place, her brother was clean- ing the car, or at least making big gesture at 1t, when he was ten.
 Sometimes it's the youngest child in family who is picked by the rest as Gunga Din. Go up and get my book, Josie" Josie. see if that telephones for me-" So it goes on all day.
 There is usually a Josie or a Georgie to do it. The busy moth- CT may not realize that the junoir service is lopsided, and may be forgiven if she does, because it is tiring to have to argue with the unwilling ones. But rights are rights, and imposition is imposition. For the good of everyone t is bet ter to divide up the load.

Beach dresses are simple, usually with a vestee or guimpe arrange ment that covers the nude back when the Wearer is not actually sun- bathing. It will certainly be 4 great relief to find summer resorts not quite so denuded at the lunch or tea hour.
 Shorts are still deemed the most adequate wear for the younger wo- man, and pajamas, unlike the skirts, have been subject to con siderab shortening Well above the ankle seems to be the now ac- cepted length.
 Schiaparelli can always be re- lied upon to launch something original and this time she suggests an entirely new silhouette for the beach.

These are deep blue or minimum red to harmonize with the rough Spanish plaids she ad- Vocates for beach wear. The effect is startling but very feminine, be- sides protecting the bare back.

NEA Scrvtce Ctnu OOfFeSDOnuent
 Paris-That femininity in fash ions need not necessarily imply fussiness and complicated effects has been amply demonstrated in the recent collections. These prov ed that clothes can offer charm. seductiveness and allure to the las; degree without indulging in ex- travagance or "reminiscences, his torical or others.
 There is a decided movement to cover up the excessively nude and often unesthetic backs that have endured so many seasons, with a corresponding lowering, so to speak, of the high front neckline Bosoms are being barred, but shoulders are acquiring great mod esty of fnien with various fischu movements. The new back decol- letes are that much more nyster- ious because they are shrouded in net, chiffon or lace and the coutur- iers have taken full advantage of the sure-flre transparency effects which never run the risk of ob- viousness such as bare vertebrae do. The evening hemline shows @ tendency to reveal the neat ankle, either in shortef-in-the-f front line or a shorter-in-the- back move ment. The latter is newer and u little startling. The petticoat. com plete with filmy lace ruffie. has been accepted by the smartest women, and the idea occurs to one that the return of the black silk stocking Is not so remote after all So far, the nude shade is too firmly anchored in the fashion picture to be so lightly discarded, but it will not be long before d style-conscious woman will appre- ciate the value of the finest black silk stocking, completed by the black satin slipper, as the only ad- junct to the slinky black evening gown, especially if the hem reveals vivid wave-like color bias, as fea. tured in the Molyneux collection.
 Color and fabric combinations have been studied to such a degree that they can now be considered one of the finer arts. Sun-ray and other pleatings appear everywhere. hemming sleeves. necklines and hems, forming abots, collarettes and berthas.
 Belts are either assertive, so far as width goes, or as slim as shoe strings. Buckle make wild bid
