Dorothy Dix Says
The World Needs More Pollyannas to
Spread Cheer and Sunshine.

Many soldier has his breast covered
with medals for deeds OF less valor
than she did when she stood behind
her husband through the depression
and bucked him up when he was
beaten and ready to surrender. Or
when she sat for days and days by
the bedside of frightened sick child
and literally kept it alive by the gay
act she put on, while her very soul was
fainting with dread.
Pollyanna does her part in the sta
ton of life to which it has pleased
God to call her. And that is the best
that any Of us can do She is the
daughter that her old parents choose
to live with because she makes bright
and jolly the last lap Of the long
journey for them. Her home is always
cheerful, no matter how humble it Is
and her husband comes to it joyously
smiling face and loving welcome
from wife who will have funny
story to tell him and new Joke. and
make him forget the cares and worries
Of the day.
Maybe the family will be poor. but
Pollyanna will take the sting out Of
poverty for her children by making
home gay and jolly, by giving them
her own brave outlook on life. by
teaching them to laugh instead OF
cry. And 80 she will send them out
into the world to be the optimistic
60 -getters who inherit the earth and
the fullness thereof. That is why
Pollyanna Is my favorite heroine

For Slim

Fall Fashion Taboos
Any Excess Weight
or Thickness.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE wedding dress of her grace

new vogue that has swept not only
this country but the world. 1t has
inspired girdle manufacturers to
create new undergarments, it has been
reproduced in any number of versions
it Is definitely youthful vogue and
1t taboos any thickness around the
waist.
You've seen it, Of course. You know
how svelte it looks A straight, firm
line at abdomen, diaphragm and
waist; no thickness, no punching
Just youthful firmness, and an up
lifted bustline. Youth and beauty

One may, by clever corseung
achieve that line and conceal an un-
welcome spare tire beneath. But what
satisfaction it must be to know that
the slim silhouette is you. yourself
and not the corset camouflage.
The small waistline has always been
q mark of feminine beauty. Today
it remains the envy Of moderns. To
be sure We don't have to achieve hour
glass proportions, but for beauty S
sake the waistline must be small,

there won't be a sign Of spare tire
and you'll be all set for that girdled
corseted look that Dame Fashion fore
casts for Fall.
The exercise is at least as old as
you are, but it has remained q winner
for whiting down the waistline. The
trick is not to bend the knees, but
to bend from waist and touch finger
tips to toes. Then, fingertips Of one
hand to opposite toe. You raise arms
overhead, feeling quite a pull through
the waist. At the same time the left
arm comes down to shoulder level

There are matching satin bindings
on the jacket to catch the light and
give further interest.
An all-over tucked and pleated black
chiffon afternoon frock is interesting
and useful. The slightest breeze fans
out the skirt and the elbow-length
pleated sleeves. A starched black mus
lin with bolero in severe plainness is
another version of the craze for Sum-
mer black But in order that the out
look may not become too dark. let us
talk about some other things of gen.
eral fashion interest.
In Paris the jewelry pavilion has
just opened at the exposition Exquisite
diamonds and other precious gems
were displayed in new and intriguing
designs. Baguettes were cut square
and facets round. Clips were gener-
ally large and snowy. One platinum
and diamond clip is made to open and
shut in different shapes and sizes.
There was a spray of life-size forget
me-nots. Necklaces are demountable
and may be separated into bracelets
and clips. Clusters OF pearl and emer-
aid currants are featured in large
clips Lfe-siZe flowers as large as
chrysanthemumS are done in precious
stones.
FLOWERS that bloom in the Fall
are already being mentioned for
freshening up the 'not-new" frock
as we'll as for use on the new Fall suit
Conspicuous among these are nastur-
tiums. edelweiss, geraniums-all with
distinctive colors and all with rather
prim and trim outlines They will be
used in medium and natural size
flowers, worked in moderate size bou-
quets and worn at the necklines of
black frocks, or on the lapels of tweed
suits. They will be done in velvet.
The nasturtiums are favored in or
angy and coppery tones, the geraniums
in the true bright brick shades or
the strong pinks Of natural flowers.
Edelweiss will be in white velvet with
green velvet leaves Roses, violets,
chrysanthemums and gardenias will
continue to be worn and liked, as al
ways.
London continues to become more
and more important as source OF
fashion interest to American buyers.
Their dinner clothes, golf and tennis
dresses, IN addition to the usual run
Of English tweed sports suits, will find
regular places among the American
offerings in the best shops. This is
quite interesting in view of the opin-
ion prevalent some years back that
English women were not particularly
well dressed. But times do change.
We now read that the well-dressed
Londoners, this Summer, are wearing
both full-skirted and nodded evening
gowns, but in all formal frocks the
necklines are low and the shoulders
uncovered. The off-the shoulder gown
is a great favorite in all materials, as
we'll as the straight-across bra" top
with shoulder straps.
Among London novelties are rubber
raincoats with hand-painted animal
designs. Typical are those in white
with painted dogs in black and gray
Novel decorations for the necklines of
evening frocks are motifs Of white
cupids and white harps.

ID Choice for the BetWeen-Seas0n
The Old Gardener Says:

Transplanting can be accom-
plished at almost any season Of
the year, even during the hot days
Of Midsummer, II proper care Is
taken. OF course, Summer trans
planting Is not to be recon-
mended, but there are times when
it seems necessary. In prepara-
ton, soak supply Of peat moss
In water for several hours until
it becomes saturated. Dig the
holes into which the plant Is to
be set several inches deeper than
would ordinarily be required. In
the bottom place 2 inches or
more OF the saturated peat moss
and cover 1t with an inch or two
of q good compost or enriched
garden soil. The plant is then set
and thoroughly Watered. 1t should
also be shaded from the bright

Yes, I did bite him." said Betty
with unruff1ed calm.

nu anna. As far as am con-
cerned you may have all your
austere, grim faced feminine
saints and martyrs. make you
welcome to all the leaders Of forlorn
causes and lost hopes. and the women
warriors and students and scientists
Give me the woman who wears the
smile that won't come of and who
always looks on the bright side Of
things.
I know it is the fashion to sneer at
Pollyanna, but when you come right
down to brass tacks can you think OF
another woman in the world who does
so much good and who helps 80 many
people as the one who scatters rays
of sunshine wherever she goes, whose
mere presence brightens everybody
up and puts fresh hope and courage
into them?
Pollyanna will never have any monu-
ment built to her. nor any DAY named
after her, for her work is mostly done
in secret and dark places. but some
where. where the great record Is kept,
Is set down the stories Of the men
and women she has rescued from
despair; the cutters she has braced
up to make the effort that carried
them on to success; the fires that she
has rekindled that were about to die
out on 80 many hearthstones; the Joy
she has brought to SO many little
children; the tears she has quenched;
the laughter that she has made bubble
over 50 many lips that were stih with
pain.
MAYBE Pollyanna isn't spectacu-
A'A lar. Maybe she isn't any Miss
America as to looks. Generally she
is a little on the roly-poly side, as
the English would say, and the only
thing that you notice particularly
about her is that her eyes have such
a kind look, as If they only saw the
good in people. She is seldom bril-
liant or learned. She never made a
wisecrack in her life, but she has
given the soft answer that turns away
wrath million times.
And, although Pollyanna is neither
Intellectually nor socially important,
she is always the most popular woman
in any group. And she never figures
in the divorce court.
Sometimes when look at Pollyanna
think that she has all the virtues
that most become her sex. She has,
to begin with, unselnshness. Being
human and sharing the common lot.
| she has her own cross to bear, her
own disappointments, her own griefs,
her own worries, but she locks her
| own sorrows tn her breast. If she
weeps, she does 1t In private. She
bears her own burden without laying
it on the shoulders of all who come
in contact with her.
Pollyanna never indulges in the lux
ury of grief as so many women do.
She never salts her friends down with
her tears She never goes about beat
ing upon her breast and telling hard
luck tales. She figures that there is
gloom enough in the world without
her adding her bit Of blackness to it.
