TT IS your choice of blouses, the
frills that peep out between the
lapels of your coat or the smartly
tailored shirt that gives ever
changing interest to the same suit.
Start off in the morning in spic-and-
span linen, one color on Monday and
another on Tuesday. A quick charge
into a softer version enables you to
freshen up in a jiffy later in the day.
and one of those delectable frilly
jabots will turn the trick every time.
The blouses are so fascinating they
make you want to have several suits
to afford sufficient opportunities of
trying out all the varied moods. But
Summer Is coming. and so you can
still add a linen suit, and the blouses
will do duty for all.
Linen blouses are legion. They come
IN the gayest colors and the smartest
styling-tucked bosoms, high and open
v necks. and mostly with short sleeves.
You will want several of these and
won't have the least difficulty in find
ing just about what you want. They
speak for themselves.
THE crepe and sheer blouses are
quite irresistible and their charm
lies in their varying interpretations of
the jabot. 1t may be gathered or
pleated and is generally lace edged.
Crepe, sheer and net all provide de-
grees of transparency and coolneSs, and
colors are important. If you want a
dark color, net will make it look
Summery; and if you prefer a light
color, an opaque crepe will still give a
slight touch to your ensemble.
Let us start with a white crepe
blouse with a bunch of violets at
the throat-the kind that goes with
everything A pleated crepe frill stands
up around the neck and continues
down each side Of the front, outlining
the curved peplum. This model also
comes in pastel tints and at 81 Is q
splendid choice.
A violet sheer uses lace edging on
its little box-pleated frills around the
neck and PARKWAY down the front.
This will add softness to your man
tailored suit and combine beautifully
with the more casual dressmaker suit.

So they get divorce and they marry

mates for another. no easier to be
borne. The new wife may be balmier
on the eyes than the old, but she is
harder on the pocketbook.
MARIA was stodgy. but she was
" wonderful cook and housekeeper.
Mimi is wisecracker, but she thinks
home is a place to 60 to when every
where else shuts up. John was an
unromantic business man but Q grand
provider. Jack knows how to make
love, but not how to make laoney.
Tom never wanted to 60 out Of an
evening. Tommy never wants to stay
at home. There you are. When the
divorced marry q second time they
are just as likely to jump out of the
frying pan into the fire As into the
electric icebox.
And perhaps the reason these sec.
ond and third-and often fourth and
fifth-marriages are no happier than

They are tin-horn sports who ale never

squarely. and who throw up their
hands and quit the minute luck runs
against them. They are the sort of
people who would fail in marriage no
matter how often they tried it.
A woman who had married early
and often summed up the whole case

mistakes when they marry q second
or third time, and their last estate
Is no better than their first.
This Is easily understandable. for
the one characteristic in human
nature that is more apparent than
anything else Is the fact that the
average person learns nothing from
experience. The waster and spender
does not turn thrifty when his pockets
are empty and he feels the pinch of
want. He goes on spending every
penny he can get his hands on for
useless things. Those who are fail
ures because they are quarrelsome, or
lazy, or inefficient do not learn to con-
industrious apprentice. They con-
tinue to say and do the things for
which they are discharged. Even sick
ness does not teach us to take care
of our health. AS soon as We are
out of bed we overwork and everyday
again, and eat the things that dis
agree with us. Always we deceive
ourselves with the cheerful theory
that somehow a benevolent Providence
is going to save the fool from the re-
suits of his folly.
If, as DR.. Johnson said, second
marriage is the final triumph of hope
over experience, one would think that
the divorced would enter the holy
estate again on frozen feet and with
fingers crossed for luck and only after
having taken every possible precaution
that their previous unhappy expert
ences might not be repeated.
RUT they do not. They marry just
as blithely and happy-go-luckily,
and with as little care for consequences
as If they had never had any bitter
warnings that marriage can be hell as
well as heaven. They still pick out
their husbands or wives on the grab
bag principle and unite themselves to
strangers whose middle names they
do not even know, and trust to luck
that this time they have drawn a
capital prize instead Of blank as
they did before.
Another reason that those who
swap off old husbands and wives for
new seldom find the profit in it that
they expect is because all marriage
is woven on the same loom and all
husbands and wives are cut off the
same bolt of cloth. The pattern may
vary a little and one design may be
more to your taste than another. but
the material is pretty much of same
ness.
There is no such thing as the ideal
mate any more than there is any other
perfect thing in nature. Every fus-

the long name of an excellent
vine with fruits which are very
much like those of the common
bittersweet and which make q

this is one of the most useful
vines that garden makers can OBJ

value for covering walls. but also
for its usefulness as a ground
cover. 1t will make q complete

under trees where grass fails to

not well adapted for the South,

a furore in European chancellories,
today denied that the ships would
be transformed into fighting craft.
In a formal statement issued

fully cloaked his own identity,
Cuse failed to state whether or not
the planes would be sent to Spain,
but made a noncommittal refer
ence to the desirability of COM

not at war"
The statement was given out at
the office of the Vimalert Com
pany, reputedly headed by Cuse,
by a man who refused to identify
himself. He said, however, that
he was acting for Cuse who, tele-
phoning from a point outside the

to a stenographer.

KIDNAPER
Anxious Father Awaits
Signal in Papers;
G-Men Stand By
BY RALPH B. JORDAN


TACOMA, Wash. Dec. 20
G.N.SO.-The next move is up to
the kidnaper.
That was the stand taken today
by DR.. William w. Mattson, Ia
coma surgeon, as SO hours elapsed
without word from the abductor of
his 10-year-old son, Charles, liter
ally snatched from his family and
carried away under the arm of a
desperate who flung down a note
demanding $4,000 ransom.
The psysician said he awaited
contact from the kidnaper that
he might pay the ransom and free
the 'boy-awaited patiently al
though with breaking heart, for
the next move from the abductor
as all law enforcement agencies
retired temporarily from the
chase to make it easy for the
contact to be made.
Fear for Boys Life
The desire to first free the little
prisoner was intensified by the be-
lief of officers that his life is in
grave danger. that his captor is
probably crazed with dope.
DR.. Mattson looked through the
classified "ad" sections of Seattle
newSpapers-the medium the kid
naper promised in his ransom note
he would use for first contact
but could find nothing apparently
Irelating to the case.
He was asked if he would place
an ad, addressed to the desperate,
in the papers. He replied:
"NO, will not. wouldn't
know what to say. I'm follow.
ing his instructions"
DANGER OF FREEZING
His anxiety was greater as sub.
freezing weather gripped the
country side. The thought that
the boy may be suffering from
exposure tortured him. The
thermometer registered "a at the

Adding to the complexity of all,

AmputatiOn Considered
Amputation of the leg is being

it was learned.
Every other measure will be
taken first, however, in an at
