Beauty
Screen Stars
And Fads
By DONNA GRACE

The little motion picture stars
are responsible for many of the
fads and fashions of today, and
some of these are we'll worth imi
tating, but the smart girl will not
adopt every style she sees on the
Hollywood girls, as it may not bt
suitable for anyone but . movie
star. Even the stars themselves
do not wear the styles we see them
in when photographed.
They do, however. wear the new
est things, and the very best de
signers are always striving to pro
duce the most exquisite fashions
possible for their favorite screen
stars wardrobe and for her screen
work, so when we are fortunate
enough to find a becoming cos
tune for ourselves among this
array we may do well to copy it as
nearly as possible.
When we hear of the lounging
robes and informal Stacks and
shorts worn by the average screen
star, let's not get the foolish idea
these are informal as to cut or
workmanship.
The contrary is true. There are
special and very expensive tailors
in Hollywood who specialize in
just Stacks and shorts along with
the jackets to go with them, and
no high-class tailored suit ever had
more expert design and finish
than this informal attire.
Some of the stars order them
by the dozen at a time in various
colors, materials and styles, and
they are worn there for any and
all occasions. The prices are from
about $45 to over 500 a suit.
There is always some individual
note of distinction for each one.
such as the name or initial across
the front pockets, collar or lapel,
and some of them like to wear the
initial of some close friend, but
they are all trim of hips and just
right.
Jean Muir wears only one type
of gloves: a plain gauntlet Slip-on,
absolutely devoid of trimming
Jean believes plain gloves are the
Smartest and says there is nothing
that can lend a wrong note to an
otherwise nice costume quicker
than an over-fancy glove.
The large kerchiefS or big square
Scarfs on which the Constitutional
amendments, as well as some with
the ex-King Edwards radio speech
are popular with Harriet Hilliard
Miriam Hopkins, Frances Farmer
and others. They are a smart
conceit.

BEST MAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

also act as best man? I mean for
the groom to wait at the altar, the
bridesmaid to walk in alone, and
then the bride with the best man?

I couldn't very enthusiastically
recommend this, for it would, I
think, be a most awkward arrange
ment. However, if for some family
or other reason, you especially
wish this, and if there are to be
only relatives present at the wed
ding, it might be done.
I wish that you had written me
more about the reasons for this,
why it would be advisable. and
then would have had point OF
view to guide me in my answer.
Will you be so kind as to write
me again, and let me try again?

EXPERT WORRIES
OVER AMERICAN
LIQUOR GULPING
uay Associated PRESS,

CHICAGO, April S.-A gulp
and a shudder is the American
technique of drinking liquor, says
Harry L. Lourie, executive secre-
tary of the National Association
of Alcoholic Beverage Importers.
He thinks it's all wrong, too.
''The average American picks
up a short glass of fine old rye,
bourbon or corn in his right hand,
gestures vaguely with his left and
then losses it off with an expert
flip" says Lourie.
1.-THE fine old liquor splashes
against the back of his throat,
gushes down into his stomach
and begins to burn. Here the
drinker gives three shudders.
wipes his lips with the back of his
hand and says, 'Ah, there was a
drink
Lourie says any liquor fit to
drink is fit to sip and that one
gets the flavor of the liquor by
slipping and shifting its aroma.

CITE REPORT ON
ELECTRIC RATES
KEY WEST COMPANY SHOWS
LARGEST DECREASE FOR
RESIDENTIAL SERVICE

NEW YORK, April s.-The
annual report Of the Engineers
Public Service Company for 1886
affords some striking comparisons
in esectric rates for residential
service in force last year with
those charged in 1928.
Many people realize that va
rious reductions have been made
in such rates in recent years, but
it is questionable how many know
how extensive the cuts have been.
A table of rates charged by nine
subsidiaries of the company shows
that some of the reductions ex-
ceeded SO percent in that period
A combined rate for all this group
dropped from 81 cents a kilowatt
hour to 81 cents.
The Key West Electric Com
pany shows the largest decrease,
the 1928 rate being 1876 cents.
compared with IA cents in 1886
for residential service.
The rate of the Puget Sound
Power & Light Company dropped
from SO cents in 1929--the year
cited for this company-to 2.8
cents last year. the smallest re-
.duction Of the group. Figures
earlier than those for 1928 were
not given because Of change in
the accounting system making
earlier comparisons unsuitable.

preparation on which counties
sending patients to the Sanatori-
UNI may draw part OF the finan-
ciaI care of these individuals.
To have this legislators favor
abby considered would relieve the
counties of considerable financial
strain. and it has been tentative
" agreed to have the counties pay
81 daily for each patient and call
on the state for $1.75, for each
patient. This would permit of
counties sending more patients to
the institution and would thus al
low the Sanatorium to become a
greater public health, economic
and humanitarian asset to Flor
ida.
A survey Of sanatoria through
out the United States reveals that
practically all State tuberculosis
sanatoria are supported by
joint appropriations of states
Legislatures and County Com
missioners except when the entire
expense is borne by the state.
