Advice to LOVelOrn

we are living with my in-laws.

we can't afford to do these

For Little Women"


THE problems of Tit e
Il women" as they are called
in stores, will be taken up spe-
cially at a fashion showing to-
day. Little women are those
who are short, who have fig
ures that are bit too short for
the rest of them .. who can't
be fitted in regular sizes. As
you no doubt know if you have
q figure of this kind. there is
a wholesale range, especially
designed to take care of such
people. Thursday only, today,
there is an informal fashion
showing of "half-size" dresses
for these women, with a talk
by a designer of such dresses.
He will explain just how they
are fitted, how they are
planned, so that they may have
youthful, slimming lines, yet be
right for the shorter figure.
There will be grand collec-
tion of these dresses, assembled
for the occasion, including
such new styles as boleros,
redingotes, prints, coat dresses,
and so on. They will be $10.95
and up. The showing is from
1880 through the day. If you
can't make the showing, be
sure to go in and see the
dresses ANYWAY.

SERVICE FOR BLIND
HELD IMPROVED
Rapid Progress in "Individ-
uaIized" System Reported
by Director.

Rapid progress in organizing an
tndividualized service for the blind in
the District was reported yesterday
by Miss Stella Plants, director of this
work, which was organized by the
Council of Social Agencies and is
financed by the Community Chest.
This experiment, started last Spring.
already has brought Miss Plants and
her two assistants into close personal
contact with more than half the Dis
trict's 900 blind.
The new service is designed to
study the individual problem of each
blind person and to help him read
just himself and become economically
independent. The work is based on
the theory that the physical condition
OF blindness is less handicap than
the mental attitudes that result from
II. II this proves correct, special in
stitutions and schools for the blind
eventually may become unnecessary,
and blind people now dependent on
pensions will be able to support them
selves, Miss Plants points out, add
ing:
The blind have been aided in the
past by herding them together in
special homes, schools and trades.
They live in world apart based
entirely upon a mutual misfortune,
with the result that they develop men,
tai problems that are even more ham
dicapping than their physical trouble.
The service We are developing here
Is based upon the belief that if blind
people have normal attitudes they
will be able to lead normal lives"
Miss Plants is an example of her
theory. She has been blind since
Childhood, and yet she was educated
at the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology and the New York School of
Social Work with seeing students and
has asked no odds from any one.
She was a case worker and super
visor in family welfare work among
sighted people before she undertook
this mission to the blind.
She and her aides are helping the
Districts blind with their problems
and ambitions, with a view of en-
abling them to lead useful and happy
lives.

"A lively and youthful gentleman
of 70.
The famous designer of "Goudy
bold" "Goudy antique" and 100 other
type faces known to newspaper COM
posing rooms and printing Offices the
world over, emerged in the flesh at
the Smithsonian Institution, where
a special exhibit of his work is be-
ing arranged.
Frederic w. Goudy is another ex-
ample of what Walter Pitkin was
thinking of when he wrote Life Be-
gins at 40" Asked how he hap
pened to begin creating type faces,
Goudy said:
Il was a bookkeeper and nearly 40.
I got fired. I had to do something,
so I started working with type"
1t was only after he was so that
Goudy started casting his matrices
in his own type foundry. Before
that he had sent his drawings to
others to be cast into type faces.
Has Created Many Type Faces.
In his later years he has created
los type faces, which have won for
him worldwide acclaim, gold med
ais at worlds fairs and many other
honors. He has rambled over the
world, drawing inspiration from frag-
ments of lettering on tombs sealed
in antiquity and from ancient manu-
scripts and sometimes, as he says,
from nowhere at ALL"
While it is Goudy's theory that all
designers of lettering derive from
the past-that there is no complete
originality in type creation-yet he
never has made a fetish of the past;
in fact, his most distinctive designs
have had a freshness and clarity as
sociated with the stream-lined pres
ent. The type designers, he feels,
may draw from any source, historic
or present, but, as he once wrote:
IF he is competent for his work.
his designs will possess a personal
quality and they will, too, reflect the
conditions of life and environment of
his own times, Just as the early types
reflect those of their designers. The
early types do furnish excellent models
upon which to base new expressions.
but their exact reproduction, except
in specific cases, is not now needed,
nor are revivals of old faces espe-
cially called for"
No art, he adds, "can live by the
continual revival or reproduction of
the achievements of the past
How Do You Design Type"
Once girl student at one of his
lectures in a university. whose atten-
ton was straying to her next date
while he expounded at length the in
tricacies of type designing, finally
turned to him and asked naively:
But, Mr.. Goudy, how do you design
type?"

and flanking concrete levies awaiting

will be finished by December 81.
Over 200 relief workmen are now en-
ployed in building the levy, with an
additional 100 expected on the job
by the middle of October.

wall are now three quarters completed

oh" he said, II just think of a
letter and then mark around the
thought"
But this. he explained yesterday,
had more truth than irony in it,
He does, first of all, block out the
letters in pencil, quite large. Later
they are reduced and cast in various
sizes at the foundry.
But the mystery of the craft is to
create, not new sort OF letter-that's
not so hard-but type in which the
entire alphabet, with its various shapes
and incongruities, will emerge into
smooth, flowing whole, easy to read,
blending into unobtrusive, symmetri-
cal lines. 1t is, Goudy insists. not
so much a creative art as an intellec-
tual work, "a reasoned process
something that must be thought out.

Is as suitable for box-car letters as
