a long spray Of small yellow cymbi-
diunls fastened at one shoulder and
outlining one side OF a V-shaped
decolletage to the Waistline in the

was quite startling.
Note to the practical! Orchids will
last more than week If placed in

T>HE gardenia corsage for Easter
has become classic and Is al.
ways welcome, as is the camellia,
again come into popular favor, and
Of course, violets. Lilies OF the val
ley are particularly happy choice
at this season. Spikes of the fragrant
little bells are arranged to radiate
from tight cluster Of bright rose
buds and are particularly youthful.
Corsages of carnations will be in
greater evidence than ever before.
The fragrant old-fashioned flower IS
gaining special favor these days be-
cause modern florists have developed
such enchanting new colors to har-
monte with any coat or gown that
milady may wear.
The prevailing fashion for real
flowers in the hair with formal dresses
is charming idea, and the little
sprays are so cleverly arranged that
they At down among the curls or
wherever you prefer to wear them,
and stay fresh much longer than If
they were worn against the warm
body.
An amusing and effective Easter
table decoration may be arranged by
using pottery animal containers, pref
erably rabbits or ducks, and filling
them with sprays of small flowers
like lily of the valley and freesias. Or
you may use white bunnieS and fill
with sweet peas in rainbow tints A
tiny noSegay at each place with a
pin so that each guest will have
flowers to wear for the occasion is
another suggestion. These individual
boutonnieres can be made of very
few blossoms so as to be inexpensive,
without detracting from the general
effect.
A particularly attractive gift basket
is an arrangement of yellow snap
| dragons and yellow rosebuds and the
varl-colored Spring combinations with
lots Of pink and lavender are equally
lovely. The small potted pale pink
azaleas make excellent gifts and those
vivid colored cinerarias are very
snowy Tulips and hyacinths are nice
because the bulbs may be kept and
used again another season.

Il institutions with the stigma Of
charity upon them. But comfortable,
dlgnified, pleasant places, run on the
lines of family hotel, where aging
people could spend their later year,
after they had been forced by circum-
stances to give up their own homes.
Such establishments would open up
new heaven and a new earth for the
old, for they would give them places
to live in which they knew they were
welcome and wanted instead Of being
unWelcome guests in the houses of
their relatives. Such hotels would
give them pleasant companionShip

experiences and points of view were

eat what they liked and do as they
pleased. with no devoted daughter to
boss them, and altogether to lead the
life of Riley.
I TITLE as We like to admit it, the
lot of most old people who go to
live with their children is miserable
one. They know that their in-laws
regard them as interlopers and that
their own children would be happier
without their presence in the home;
that the only way they can keep from
making trouble is just to become a
rubber stamp, which is q hard thing
to do after having ruled the roost ones
self for 40 or SO years.
Their children's ways are not their
ways. They don't hold with son-in-
laws views and politics nor approve
of daughter-in-laws gadding. They
get tired of chewing their tongues to
keep from saying what they think
about the way their grandchildren are
being brought up. Respectable girls
never wore shorts in their days. And
as for smoking igarettes-w-e-l-l!
The conceit Of children makes them
think father and mother would be
wretched separated from them, but
in that they are mistaken. Nothing
cramps an old mans or woman's style
more than having dutiful son or
daughter always around telling them
what to do, as if they were moron
children, and shushing them up when
thev begin to reminisce about the Civil
War or the time Johnny had the
measles in '76.
From the children's point Of view
an old peoples hotel would be god
send. 1t would solve the problem OF
what to do with an old father or
mother who was a trouble-maker. 1t
would furnish way to force all the
children to contribute their quota
toward the support of dependent par
ents, instead Of making 1t easy for
the selfish ones to pass the buck and

\
I UNFORTUNATELY, not all old
people are the pin-fsathered
angels they are traditionany repre-
sented as being. Age sweetens some
men and women. Others 1t makes
hard and cruel and cantankerous.
Sometimes it is a benediction in the
house to have an old mother or father
present. Often it is a curse.
There are old fathers who are SO
slovenly in their personal habits that
they drive neat daughters in law wild;
so surly and disagreeable in DISPOSE
tion that living with them is like liv-
ing with a sore-headed bear. There
are old mothers who NEEDLE and nag.
fret and complain, and who feel that
they have a right to run their chill
dren's homes, so that they make them
places Of torment.
There is not day I do not get a
letter from some distracted wife who
tells about what happy and peaceful
home she has had and how good and
kind and domestic her husband was
until mother came to live with her.
That now there is nothing but
quarreling in the home, and that her
husband puts on his hat and leaves
the house as soon as dinner is over
rather than spend an evening where
mother is; the children won't stay at
home; her whole family life has been
disrupted by mother.
All conscientious children desire to
do their full duty by their parents,
and no problem has been more diff
cult to decide than what to do when
mother or father was a menace to
their own homes. The answer is:
Build an old peoples hotel where
mothers and fathers can be happy,
and let the children be happy also.

Bright Eyes
Need Sleep
And Care
Find the Cause of the
Dark Circles, Don't
Rely on Makeup.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

ZONE Spring, with everything new
and budding and bright and
beautiful, and unless your eyes are
bright and shiny they seem all out
of keeping with the season. Our eyes
tell more about us than any other
feature. Our eyes are used more and
abused more than any other feature;
our eyes can help us achieve beauty
more than any other feature.
You wonder, then, why women don't
give their eyes more attention and less
abuse So do !. 1t is one of those
little ironies.
The screen and stage stars, more
than any other single class of people,
know the importance Of keeping their
eyes beautiful and bright. They know
that youth lies in clear. healthy eyes

| particularly between pictures. She
also keeps her eyes as clean as her
skin by bathing them frequently with
| soothing eye preparations.
Most screen stars emphasize these
two points. Contrary to what many
| imagine, the stars get plenty of rest
and sleep. In fact, between pictures

| strict rations Of rest instead of parties.
Recently We discussed makeup for
the eyes and noted how cleverly shadow
can be employed to make protruding
eyes look less prominent, small eyes
| look larger, close-set eyes seem wider
| apart; eyes set far apart seem to
| look closer together, and so on. There
Is no doubt but that we can do great
| deal with makeup to create optical
illusions. In fact, once the art Is
| mastered, ones poorest feature may
| apparently become ones best.

health comes first. This holds trua

Can you be wholeheartedly content to
| go on for more than a day or two
with such concealing makeup, know
| ing that you are not getting at the
| root OF the trouble? Dark circles are
often caused by lack of sleep, by
fatigue, by eyestrain by some systemic
or physical disturbance. External ap-
| plications won't shoe dark circles
away. You've got to check on your
health, on your diet, and if the circles

ingly lovely, and the fragrance de-
nciouS.
Other buildings were vivid with pink
hydrangeas and bright tulips. Feast
ing the eyes on so many beautiful
flowers makes us realize Spring Is
really here.
1t is interesting to learn that there
is no variety of lily known to botanists
as the Easter lily. The Madonna lily,
which we find in summer gardens, was
probably the one first chosen as an
Easter lily. 1t was gradually replaced
by other varieties which showed more
willingness to grow vigorously in
greenhouses. Lillian Harrisii, from
Bermuda, later became a favorite, and
was used for years, and finally sup
planted by importations from Japan.
The present Easter lily is botanically
called Lilium Giganteum, and origi-
mated in the Himalayan Mountains. It
is vigorous in growth and produces
large number of fragrant blooms. In
England it grows in gardens, often
shooting up to height of 10 feet, but
is much more moderate in its growth
In this country.
>HE significance of the Easter sea-
son is most appropriately expressed
in flowers. Our churches are filled
With them and the custom of sending
flowers to friends is a delightful token
of esteem. The Easter corsage is the
JOY Of every Woman's heart and is a
sure sign that among her male friends
she has at least one who remembers
special days in the way that women
appreciate most. If men would only
realize how much more a woman
thinks of couple of white gardenias
or an orchid to pin on her new Easter
frock than she does of the same
amount of money spent for something
to eat, that would indeed be a big
step forward in the march of progress!
So say the women!
Now about these corsages, just in
case some one wants to know what is
what this season. OF course, orchids
head the list as far as real elegance
is concerned. Nothing can be lovelier
than a delicate white or lavender Or
child. Even little Sonia Henie anchors
two of these on the top Of her blond
head in her spectacular solo evenings
But for tailored street clothes there
are a number Of new smaller varieties
OF orchids now being used that are
odd and very smart. Those green
and brown cypripediums, as the
florists call them, are excellent for

Accident Responsibility

IT is not always the young inexperienced driver who
is responsible for motor car accidents A recent
study by safety experts to indicate that nearly
three-quarters of all highway accidents due to
carelessness by drivers who have had eight years
more of experience and have never been in an acc-
dent before. They get careless because of false
sense of security.
Anyone who was driving car eight years ago,
when modern, smooth roads were fewer and only
daredevs pushed their speed above 40 miles hour
often fails to realize the danger in high speeds on
perfect roads, He experiences Of the discomforts
which 60mile speed would have caused in his earlier
motoring days, he often does not realize how much
faster he is going-and the other fellow, too-and
how much greater the need for caution The very per
fecton Of and roadbed lulls him into false
Of security
blowout at 60 miles an hour is not only more
likely to than at lower speed, but it is many
times more serious in it's consequences. Speeding
around bind curve is of the commonest causes
of automobile accidents. It is hard to realize that if
there is the slightest obstruction ahead the driver
has not time enough to stop
Those are some Of the reasons why experienced
motorists are safer drivers than those just past the
beginner stage, unless they recognize the fact that
every new device to make motoring easier puts new
burden of responsibility on the driver

ogy at the University of Arizona, in

DR.. Tetreau indicates, however,
that in actuality there will always

but are still able-bodied enough to
be employed on public roads, work.

Illegal Lending Hurts Legitimate
Business Says Native Economist

THE illegal lender-whose business is bad for every
one but himsef-sometmes charges 1000 percent
a year, declares William Trufant Foster American
economist and educator in the current Rotarian Mag
aZine He adds that rule, however, the loan shark
charges only 120 to 320 percent.
"A girl clerk in Minnesota railway office" the
economist says in exposing the practices of the un
censed lender, "n IA months paid SIPS $25 loan
and still owed the S25 The lender received 429 per-
cent year In Kentucky, until recently haven for
illegal lenders, the sworn testimony of high-rate
chain operator showed that $25 loan repaid weekly
period of three months cost $780, That is in
excess OF 500 percent year In another case bor-
rover was asked to pay SIS interest for months
use of S1O."
Charging that the illegitmate loan business hurts
all legitimate business, Mr.. Foster says Al business
has stake in the problem No concern with anything
to sell can afford to ignore force which undermnes
the purchasing power of it's customers. Sample stud
les show that illegal loans OF about 125 million dol
lars the loan charges amount each year to about 3OO
million dollars. Sizing up the licensed small companies
is easier Annual reports to the State supervisory de-
partments indicate that their outstanding loans are
about 25O million dollars which they gross about
80 million dollars year. In other words, per dollar
of credit the unlicensed lenders charge roughly eight
times as much as the licensed lenders
"Merchants know families deep In debt are sick
customers Illegal loans drive families further into
debt The typical legal loan, the other hand is de-
lberately planned to extricate family from debt.
For the most part therefore, legal lending is good

as well as commercial
"rThe legal lending business is in sharp contrast
with the illegal business Legal companies operate not
in defiance Of general usury laws but in strict con-

Loan Law and in 25 of these the permitted rates

served within the law In the other % states and the

postal service was established, there
will be no delivery of letters or

ices would be suspended on Dec. 25
and 26, for a trial period of three
years, except for the collection OF
