EXPECTED

Some observers are still watch
ing for political repercussions to
follow the recent conference be-
tween President Roosevelt and
John L. Lewis, who met for their
first face-to-face talk in about
four months. Most of the political
experts were not surprised be-
cause a complete breach at this
time would leave Mr.. Lewis "out
on a limb" since he would not re-
turn to the Republican Party and
the formation of Labor Party is
still premature.

Many Fake Eye Specialists
Several Million Dollars
Shown To Have Been
FiIched From Public
In Operations

Since the expose of the fake
Eye Specialist racket some time
ago. which was made by Postmas-
ter General James Farley. many
questions have been asked the de-
partment. as to how did the victims
fall prey to the racketeers.
1t is announesd BY the depart
ment that these fake operators
have fiIehed from the public. par
tieularly aged people, at least sev-

In some eases their profB come
from furnishing names and adj

cited by Mr. Farley was that Of an

Hairstyling for
Spring
BY DONNA GRACE

The vogue in hairstyling for
spring and early summer will be in
elaborate designs that will require
a somewhat shorter length than
we have been wearing for the last
year.
We may attribute this change. in
style to the present elegant period
of the coronation year which is
beginning to dominate all this
years models in dress and acceS-
series.
All formal hair styles must have
perfect shaping to the contour of
the head or the smart design will
not be effective. Ornaments and
fancy hats will be worn, and for
this reason there cannot be too
much hair.
Even in the most elaborate hair
dressing and ornamentation the
real contour of the head must be
outlined clearly.
The broad styles that were done
with the loose roll from the front
center and continuing around the
head are now passee.
The distinct note is individual
styling, and it may be done with
waves finished in ringletS in varl'
Gus rows at the sides and the ends
of the top waves.
Then the back curlS are nc
longer in the little sausage shape
but are variation Of soft, smooth
little rolls and rather large, full
ringlets.
The page-boy style was intro
duced last summer and was not
popular, but is being featured
again. possibly for Gust change
We must avoid this style. unles;
the features and shape of the head
are perfect.
It is an uncurled, smooth line
with the ends turned under insteac
of the usual upturned effect. We
believe it is not suitable for anyone

VALET
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
How is the word valet pro
nOunced? We've had an argu-
Inent in our office about this
and we've decided to let you settle
it.
"SOme Of us insist that it's pro
nOunced Wallet, and some Of us
say that the correct pronunciation
is vallay."
Valet is correctly pronounced as
it is spelled, val with the "a"
short) ct with the 1T" pro
nounced. The word is, of course
originally French, but now that ii
has been absorbed into the Eng
fish language, it is given the Eng
fish pronunciation.

A problem for the 1ntelngenG

partly solved by buying in season.

For the spring menus, a happy
balance should be attained in the
type of dishes chosen. This season
becomes a transition between win

filling, nourishing hot dishes and
the colorful light "hot weather"
specials can be blended success
fully.

DERHAPS your frie n d
i have brought you Char
vet' silk ties from Europe, or
you, with a burst of spring IN
your heart, have bought one
for yourself, at a good stiff
price. For Charvet is a
French silk designer, and
heretofore his designs have
been available only in i'm
ported silks. They were al
ways smart and beautiful,
and only those men with fat
clothes budgets could afford
them. But now Charvet pat
terms are copied in domestic
fabrics, and so you can get
a Charvet type tie, just as
effective as the original, and
at much less, at $50 to be
exact. The newest spring de-
signs have large conventional
figures which give you a
piece of the pattern on the
knot and another half way
down the tie, where the
change in pattern will show
above your vest.
