Suits Are
Very Chic
But Not for Stout Fig
ures as Contours
Are Revealed.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

BY ELSIE PIERCE.
THERE is something about Spring
that commands perfection. We
want, more than at any other time
Of the year, to be utterly lovely. We
seem instinctively to want to pull up,
to brighten up, to try new hair
style Eyes, even the most conservative
Of us). And We want to measure up
to the lovely new fashions We are
adopting.
In other words, we want to be
suited to the season. And-if we
may be permitted a sally-this being
the season for suits, it takes fashion
able figure to be trinity fitted for the
slim styles
There is something crisp, trim,
smart, neat and businesslike about
a suit. The fashion is becoming to
young and old alike. This year, with
its details, its mellow shades, its
infinite variety the suit takes first
fashion honors. And we'll it might.
Because there is style to f1atter every
type, a shade to flatter every coloring.
The ideal figure for the suit Is the
slender, well-proportioned one. But
even the very slim figure can affect
lines that fatter and make the eye
see some ten pounds that aren't
really there. A little padding at the
shoulders, a peplum treatment at the
waist, bit of swing to the skirt and
the suit is becoming to even scrawny
figure; In fact it makes the figure
look rounder.
But there is one figure that simply
is not suited to the suit and that Is
the figure Of too generous proportions.
Because the stout figure demands
straight lines to carry the eye up and
down and make the figure seem slim
mer. And straight lined suits reveal
the contours numerically.
It seems q pity because suits are
so fashionable this season and so
universally becoming. It seems to
me that every stout person who
wishes to be stylish would get to work
Immediately and whittle of the ex-
cess baggage. Perhaps you won't be
able to reduce fast enough to get into
q suit this season. The fact Is we
don't feel that swift reduction is safe
or sane. But If you have the forti-
tude and the foresight to start now
you will be pleased as punch with
yourself when the Summer suit season
comes round and, come another
Spring, you'll be patting yourself on
the back.

The Study
Of Music
Student Will Earn
Himself a Back
ground of Beauty.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

MANY children balk at music prac-
tice, not because it is difficult
for them, but because it is restric-
ton upon their liberty. They think
about the other children, out on the
play field, or in the movies, and begin
pitying themselves as victims of cruel
hearted parents and mean old teachers,
and the tears begin to flow, tempers
are ruff1ed, and music takes her harp
and fits away from there.
What is to be done with such chill
dren? It is plain to all who know them,
their parents included, that they are
not going to be musicians in the pro-
fessional sense Of the term. But then,
in the schools, these same children
study a poem, many poems, plays,
take q complete course In literature.
Nobody expects them to be poets or
writer's because of that. They study
to form background Of understand
ing for a great art, the language OF
their people set in its most beautiful
forms. They often weep over their
tasks, but we bid them wipe their
tears and go on. Why not do the
same with these music-hating chill
dren?
It is not the music they hate; it
is the work it entails and the playtime
it costs them. They are not enduring
great hardship. They are being asked
to devote one-half hour day to their
music, not that they will become
musicians, but that they will be able
to enjoy the universal language Of the
spirit, which is music. Having learned
to read music, interpret little OF
it, play it and so experience it, they
have earned for themselves back
ground of beauty that will give them
many happy hour. That is worth
a little self-discipline to attain. II
does not hurt child to do something
he does not want to do now and then
In music, as in every other depart
ment of the curriculum, we have
children at both ends of the curve
At one end the children who have nc
ear for music. They will never be
able to learn the technique of the
piano or the violin, and it IS best tt
give them some other sort Of training
The genius is standing alone at the
other end. He will not need pressing
to attend to his music. He will hunger
and thirst for it. It If the great
in-between group that makes thu
trouble. They can learn enough
music to make it q pleasure for them
selves and for others later on, but
they don't want to be bound by the
time.

Manners
of the
M O m e n t

SOMETIMES it really gets embar-
~ RAISING when two people keep say
ing the same things at exactly the
same time. "Well, good-by," is one
of those remarkes that always seems
to hit both parties at once. Then
each of you tries to pretend you didn't
say 1t the first time, and pretty soon
you're both giving the refrain over
again in unison.
Hello, how are you?" is the same
way. You start it in chorus. Then
both of you blush and both of you say
exactly together as though you had
practiced it on vaudeville stage,
"Oh, I'm fine, thanks"
1t all gets pretty silly, and you both
blush, and then you can't either one
of you think of anything more to say.
The best way to snap out of these
little choruSes is to treat them very
seriously. After you've both chirped
in unison, Hello. how are you?" then
one of you should start beating time,
so that you make no mistake in CIV
ing the answer in unison. Or you
could just say, zone, two, three, all
together now, oh, I'm fine, thanks"
Taking it seriously will be sure to
break the spell. We've never yet seen
amateurs who try to repeat things in
unison succeed at 1t. JEAN.

time 10 venture 1OrLl IN Clln COaCS,
and lightweight suits, and only the
very young and impulsive cared to be
uncomfortable So we are still looking
forward to seeing just what the most
accepted styles will be from among all
those that have been offered for Sc
lection.
At last the shorter skirt, that we
have known about since last Fall,
seems to have won out even with the
more conservative. That means that
you will have to tackle all but your
newest frocks and give them big lift
and at the same time make them snug
about the hips. That gives the pre-
vailing silhouette smartness quicker
than any other single feature. You
realize this difference the minute you
have a new frock fitted. 1t gives
more life and swing and youth, in
fact, Springtime look.
Suits are soft and flattering and
endless in variety. There is the town
and country suit with matching coat
In pastels, checks stripes and plain
fabrics. 1t may have wide revers and
a single button, allowing the blouse
to be conspicuously displayed; or it
may be buttoned high with pockets
placed equally high, which is a very
youthful version and admits of lots of
tricks with gilets and false fronts
when you use the suits like a dress.
Both types are equally good.
X
The jaunty bolero suit is a smart
little newcomer and will be seen more
often as the days grow warmer, as it
does not give much protection against
the weather. But these costumes give
short-legged women long-legged
look. They flatter the waistline and
they are at once youthful and sophis-
ticated. The trimness Of these en-
sembles is typical of the current sill
houette.
The redingote will be an Easter IA
vorite. 1t is at once practical and
fattering and never before has it ap-
peared in so many guises. The new
types have the front edges barely
meeting, with fullness concentrated in

Domestic Brawls Should Be Avoided
as They Lead to Divorce.

tells him he is when she Is mad at
him. The wife should be under the
delusion that her husband regards
her as an angel instead Of the BRAIN
less fool he calls her in the heat of
knockdown and drag out fight.
How the idea ever originated that
quarreling is a harmless indoor pas
time, like pingpong, in which hus-
bands and wives can indulge with
impunity, nobody knows. In reality
it is the most hazardous thing they
can do and it is responsible for most
of the marriages that are hells on
earth, most of the infidelity among
married people and most of the di-
vorces.
1T is the breakfast table spat, which
is just as much part OF the
morning meal in many households as
the coffee and toast, that sends hus-
bands away from quarreling wives to
pretty secretaries who yes-yes them,
and that makes wives, sore at the
vituperative things their husbands
have said to them, go out to hunt for
men who understand" them and get
into messy affairs that break up their
homes and wreck their lives.
OF course the alibi of the quarrel
ing husbands and wives is that no
two people, especially no man and
woman, can think alike on every SUBJ
ject and have the same tastes and
points of view. True. But why fight
over them? Why not concede some
liberty of thought and action to each
other? Why drag out on the carpet
subjects about which they know be-
forehand they are going to differ and
which each knows is like a red rag
to mad bull to the other? Why not
use little diplomacy in handling
each other?
1t has been my unhappy lot to have
to assist, in the French sense, in many
family quarrels. And l have never
yet seen one battle royal that could
not have been avoided if either party
had used a grain Of common sense
or little finesse. On the contrary,
I have heard the soft word that turns
away wrath convert many situation
in which hostiIities were about to begin
into peace conference.
So l urge all brides and bride
grooms to avoid quarreling more than
any other vice in marriage If they
do, they will make for themselves
that heaven on earth-a peaceful and
happy home DOROTHY DIX.

That Are
Unusual
BY EMILY POST,

NEAR MRS. POST: Is there an
exception when one may in all
| properness invite a stranger to the
house? Some one is visiting me soon
who is old enough to be my mother and
yet younger than a dear friend of hers
who lives in our foremost street in the
| biggest house in town. Ordinarily I
would have no thought of asking Mrs.
| Top Leader to my modest house, but
under the circumstances I wondered
| whether I might telephone or write
to her and ask her to come in, setting
a definite time when my guest, who is
her friend, will be here and free.
Answer think it would be much
better to wait and let your guest tele-
phone Mrs. Top Leader herself. and
let them together make whatever
plans they like
DEAR MRS POST: I am going to
a club reception at which l shall
probably know no one. There will
more than likely be receiving line.
How is one supposed to greet these
ladies? 1 mean, do I merely shake
hands and say good afternoon I'm
personally, or will I be expected to
introduce myself by name?
Answer-Your name will either be
taken at the door by an announcer
or else you announce yourself to the
one standing nearest the door. Il
of the few times when you call your
self Mrs or Miss. You automatically
shake hands with the others in line,
saying nothing further. Possibly each
one repeats your name to the next,
but if they don't you don't repeat it
unless one of them asks you.

dresses have coats lined in matching
silk print. Some are reversible. The
redingote ensemble is newest when the
coat is slashed either at sides or back

Taking smart Easter fashions by
airplane to show the women of eight
leading cities is an interesting innova-
tion. It began two weeks ago when
group of mannekins supplied with
the smartest of New York Easter togs,
promenaded before fashion jury
in the rainbow room atop Rockefeller
Center prior to taking off for points
West Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago and
then swinging southwark through Dali
las and finally reaching Los Angeles,
this valiant little group OF fashion,
minded girls visited Washington yes
terday on the last lap of their return
trip.
THEY brought with them group Of
perfectly fascinating ensembles
which were shown at the cocktail hour
in local hotel The costumes were
all designed by young American who
creates young yet sophisticated clothes,
using simple lines with ingenious de-
tails. This young woman, Kay Nor
rison by name, has fine feeling for
fabric and does unusual things with
color. She designs her own printed
materials and favors stripes and
paisley. The ensembles shown were
all carefully assembled, much thought
given to the harmoninzing of hat,
shoes, bag and gloves with each cos
tune presented.
A copper-colored novelty silk long
sleeved dress with shoulder detail was
outstanding. With it was worn cop
per rough straw hat in medium cart
wheel outline and trimmed with gros-
grain ribbon Calfskin shoes with
portfolio cut-outS and q brown calf
quilted double bag were worn with
sable" dyed kolinsky furs, making a
completely pleasing color scheme for
the brunette.
The black with color accented out
fit was equally attractive. The two
piece dressmaker costume in black
sheer WOODEN had an imported print
blouse and an applique of the print
was used on the lapels of the box
JACKIE This was topped by black
toya tambourine of-the-face hat with
royal blue chiffon trim, and an over
the-shoulder bag in black calf added
further chic. This model chose to
wear black doeskin gloves and her
shoes were combination of black
gabardine and mesh with calf trim.
A two-skin silver fox scarf completed
the very delightful afternoon en-
senble.

1.-THE Prince and the
Pauper"

Rating: Excellent

Produced by Warner Brothers,. Feac

Mark Twain's literary classic Of
Sixteenth Century England, 'The
Prince and the Pauper," is, per.
flGps, Hollywood's most timely bid
to share in the spotlight Of the
forthcoming coronation. The pic.
ture, too, has a coronation, carry
ing out all the pomp, tradition
and dramatics that will be in the
actual ceremony.
Even in Hollywood, where the
unusual Is usually happening, the
Mauch Twins have created a
unique place for themselves. So
identical are they their own
mother sometimes experiences diff
ficulty in distinguishing Bobby
from Billy. and vice versa.
A natural then is Twain's sus.
penSe-filled dramatic comedy Of
royal life. On a night in 1547.
England'S King Henry VIII is pre-.
sented with an heir, the Prince
Of Wales. Exactly at the same
moment an heir is born to a thief.
Within a few years the paths Of
these two lads cross. And, quite
BY accident, the pauper boy is
mistaken for the young Prince
Edward.
The late Laird Doyle's poetic
like style of scripting was particu-
larly useful in adapting the Twain
masterpiece. A devotee of action
combined with sly bits of robust
comedy, Doyle'S contribution
meant much to this production.
William Keighley's directorial
style is def and swift. Although
he had much to tell in short
space Of time. he speedily got his
points over and still had time to
build rare comic sequences, and
to thoroughly reproduce most in
teresting coronation ceremony.
Bobby and Billy Mauch~ are.
naturally, outstanding in their
roles not only from a histrionic
point Of view but from the fact
Of their indistinguishable likeness.

delightful production, made
doubly so because Of the Mauch
twins. and its tin1elinesS. My
