Some Plans for
TOMORROW
SHOE PROBLEM
By HELEN ESSARY

A Lenten hope for reform
tinged by a Spanish faith in
"Manana" has produced this
series of practical resolutions
3or-Tomorrow.
Tomorrow-we shall write
that "thank-you note" we over
looked the day the present came
and have been trying to think
of a good reason for overlook
ing ever since. Also we shall
Have air put in the tires and
oil changed in the engine.
Make new kitchen curtains,
and call for watch left to be
repaired (they had to send to
Switzerland for one of the parts
and the bill will be frightfuD.
Go to see the Teacher about
Araminta's marks in the multi.
pication table.
Sew snap fasteners on sleeves
Of four dresses and packets OF
three.
Keep the engagement with
the dentist made eight months
ago.
Pay the cook the 81 cents
borrowed for the laundryman.
Return skiing suit that didn't
fit.
Return ash trays inadvertent-
" brought home from last sum-
mer's cottage.
Send offering to heir Of fam.
lily friend before infant reaches
Kindergarten maturity.
Tomorrow we shall do all Of
these things-Tomorrow!
With Huey and Joey and the
General throwing lead pipes at
each other, it's comforting to
know that the Federal Trade
Commission has an uncompro-
missing standard for-mercerized
shoe laces.
In a recent bulletin the Com.
mission, Mortified, says that Ger.
tain manufactures have labeled
shoe laces "mercerized' when
they weren't at all.
"This has the capacity to de-
Ceive buyers Of shoe laceS."
Therefore:
"On Friday. April $, the re-
spOndents (meaning shoe lace
manufacturers) must show
cause why they should not be re-
strained from the afOremen-
toned nefariOuS practice"
The American National colors
and the French tricolor are
unanimously red, white, and
blue. The boutonniers, cor
sages, and favors for the guests
at Mademoielle de Laboulaye's
small dance at the French En-
bassy were red, white, and blue.
They are saying that Aimee
Gronna Cowing, daughter of
the late Senator Gronna, who
once owned most of North Da-
kota, is about to marry again. =.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson
hasn't waited for the reception
planned as his presidential in
PRODUCTION to the staff of the
Red Cross, but has already
called on every one Of his CO.
Internationally.
Michael MacWhite, Minister
of the Irish Free State, served
CALAMITY in the French Foreign
Legion. Clyde Beatty, some
times gnawed upon by the lions
in his circus, got really upset
by this complaint from a fellow
on the circus bleachers:
"Much of my enjoyment of
your show was spoiled because
the seat was dusty"
DR.. Robert E. Williams, Of
Columbia University, has dis
covered the chemical formula
Of vitamin B, hitherto disguised
unpleasantly in tomatoes, yeast
and spinach. Vitamin B may
now be concealed in pellets.
Chewing gum pellets, possibly.
This is nice news for us in
our earnest mother moments.
But we hope the gum won't be
bubble gum.
Frances Starr (Mrs. Golden
Donaldson) looks as young as
when David Belasco discovered
her. She wore a period gown
of heavy taffeta at the Annual
Stunt party of the Women's Ma
tional Press Club. Admitting
Out-of!Town Lady says the Rev.
Coleman Nevis, of Georgetown
University, reminds her of a
French marquis who has turned
his talents to religion.
