Chi[dren's S Modes
Described By
Fashion Scout

Even though it is a chlldS dress
you'll find more painstaklng care,
more attention TO detailing this
season than any | can remember
in the past. Designers have taken
the Coronation. South American
and European folk fashions as IN
spirations for apparel for grown
ups. And those same influences
will be found in little girls and
boys fashions.
Tyrolean peasant frocks are SO
smart and practical for the girls
3 TO 10 years of age. They're Styl-
ed of gay prints, in cute little Eton
Jacket effect, and the front is
aproned. Then there's slacks and
slack suits, that until a year or SO
back were not SO popular. Today
they are as much part of the
little girls wardrobe as any article
of apparel she wears. Stacks and
culottes are of South American
origination, and many OF our Amer
ican adaptations are faithful re-
productions.
For little boys slacks easily take
the lead. They may be worn with
knitted shirts that give kiddies SO
much comfort and freedom.
Bathing and play togs offer a
wide diversity OF style and color
and they're quite reasonably priced
too, in Ell Centro stores. Mothers
who want to see their young hope
fuls" looking nice, and at the same
time at an inexpensive cost, will
do we'll to look over the large stocks
now ready for them to inspect.

If we are to accept as authen-
tic the dramatized version of

certainly this latest flareup Of
the fiery cross, emblematic Of the
Invisible Empire, is a definite

the setting for this pyrotechnic
display, which came as the after

can citizens.
Such procedure as transpired
in this Florida incident must
serve as a shock to those who
adhere to the finer principles
and traditions based on U. s.
standards.

Marry-Go-
Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

Within the past few years we
lave been going dizzily through
cycles of shortages. Shortages Of
foodstuffs, money and jobs. And
now an eminent college profes-
Sor has published statistics to
prove that since 1880 we are
100000 marriages short Of what
the normal matrimonial figures
should be in this country.
And THAT'S a shortage" to
fill any woman with alarm!
He attributes this amazing
situation to economic conditions
and suggests relief in the form
of $3.50 marriages, in which
both bride and bridegroom keep
their jobs and contribute equally
to the family budget.
Good! But where has the pro-
fessor been all these last 10
years? The $3.50 marriage is
almost the only sort there is
these days. Once a girl may
have looked forward to mar
riage as she looked forward to
Christmas, and to a husband as
a lifelong Santa Claus. But not
any more!
The modern marriage is no
longer the royal road to a life Of
ease and luxury. It's more like
a close corporation in which two
jobs and two pay envelopes bios
som where there used to be only
one. "I'll clean your safety
razor if you'll buy the diamonds"
is no longer the slogan Of domeS-
tic reciprocity. It's "In run a
typewriter downtown and help
with the bills if you'll turn the
wringer uptown and help with
the dishes"
