Styles for
Men
TRE DAY of the stickpin ard

TRE DAY of the stickpin and
= cuff-link has returned, and a
new shift toward daytime formal
Icy is visible in mems dress. There
hes been much informal dress
jewelry offered to men within the
past few seasons. But the stick
pin and cufT-link cut away from
casual and go over to the near
formal side.
What has happened, really. is
that many men have substituted a
modern version of the stiff collar
shirt for the Still-popular soft
cailared variety. Such shirts fea-
ture a widespread white collar
and white French cuffs in combi-
nation with a soft-toned colored
shirt body. 1t is these shirts that
have brought back an acceptable
bit of elegance. A stickpin goes
extremely we'll with a stiff collar,
and cuffs make Cuff-linkS a neceS-
slty.
Demand for jewelry among men
has created worthwhile supply
of many Smart-appearing pins
and links. One type Of these fea-
lures golden replicaS of animal
grand champions among horses
and dogs. and has plenty of ap-
peal for the man who takes his
sports afield seriously. Other pins
make use of crystals backed up by
colored decorative figures. The
final touch in the stickpin scene
includes modern cubiStic shaped
dogs and horses heads, instead OF
arue-to-life replicaS.

Helen Claire is making stage ana
radio news instead.
Tiny. blonde and vivaciouS. tbs
lovely little Southern girl laughs
when she recalls her outStSnIi.lS
handicap at dramatic school. After
painstakingly eradiCating Fer
Southern accent and being cons.a-
cred a foreigner by the IC!kS D&cN
home in Alabama. she had to sc
to all the trouble Of cuitITating 1t
again for her role in a play 20out

Lady Luck has been pretty gooa
to her.
In spite of an early start on the
stage-Helen was already an cX-
perienced morologiSt at the age OF
three-she had no intentions CT
making the theater her life career.
After graduating from the Ran
dolph-Macon College IN Virginia.
she came to New York City for
graduate study at Columbia.
Not considering her psychology
courses difficult enough. she found
time to work first with Prof.
Hatcher Hughes MornlngSloe
Players and then 10 Win scholar
ships at the FGgin School of D:a-
matte Art.
Nevertheless. it was her scien-
tific research that wGS responE3.e
for her first lucky break. While
working on her thesis FOR the Mas
ter Of Arts degree. she went 10
interview Eva lie Calliennc. the
actress. about chi,drCn's reactions
to Peter Pan" and landed the
part of one 0f the little boys in
the production. Although this was
only to aid in the study Of child
psychology. Helen found that the
actual theatcr suited her better
than being a child psychologist.
So. Phi Beta Kappa key and all.
she made the most important de-
cision OF her life right then and
there.
From then on she rose rapidly.
After appearances with the Civic
RepcrtOry TlcGt2r. she PLAYED
roles in Michael ard Mary
"Schoolgirl. Sold South. " Hon
eymooa." and other plays. Radio
audiences soon took notice of her
and she acted in Radio Guild
plays.

food on it for birds, wild ducks
and any other wild animals that
need food and shelter. Then, tonight,
I hung that large lantern with the
strong light on top the tree to guide
whoever might need it.
Merry laughter rang into the
night as nuts were cracked and
corn popped. Christmas morning
Mr.. Harrison helped keep snow

AHouse Built
Christmas Day
by
Frances Grinstesd

A HOME that was built on a
~ Christmas day stood for a
I = long time on the old Santa
F'e trail where it passed near Ar
row Rock, Mo-, on the Missouri
river. Though not quite completed
in a single day, with the help of
his neighbors on that holiday"
about a hundred years ago, Henry
Nave got his cabin ready for his
family and the day after Christ
mas took them into his shelter.
Of course the house was built of
undressed lumber, felled right on
his farm. When he had selected the
location this pioneer cut down
round poles for the walls, rafters
and joists-the framework.
Mr.. Nave had found some large,
flat stones, and in the afternoon
they dragged these into place for
the hearth. Then of other suitable
rocks, by much putting and pulling
they built a fireplace-one of those
great practical ones which served
to heat the home and to cook ven
ison, buffalo meat, corn pone and
other "victuals." The exterior of
this fireplace was wood, the stones
providing a fireproof lining.
The mortar to bind the stones
was chiefly mud to obtain even
this simple ingredient it was nee
essary to build a ire in the middle
