it looks awfully much as though
the principals were caught by the
candid camera. Luckily, how
ever, they're perfectly groomed
for their parts:
Introducing Janet.
Janet in her jumper (Pattern

glassware to use. Her plaid blouse
in taffeta makes her feel very
dressed up. Mother chose this
style because the many possibili-
ties for change make it ward

knew it would be easy-to-make.

this same ensemble in sizes 6, 8,

Mother, the Hostess.
Mother is the perfect hostess,
calm and assured, because she
knows her all-occasion frock with
it's sprightly crisp apron (Pattern

up this model in print. She is
wearing here the crepe version

Practically any doctor you ask will
warn: "Dont giDe your child unknown
remedies Without asking your doctor
first"
When it comes to the widely used
children's remedy = milk Of mag

established. For over half century
many doctors have said PHILLIPS

No other is quite like it."

On Boat Fun
For Chorus
"Going Native" Girls
Practice on City
of Washington.
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

"HERE is said to have been q
fellow from New England
aboard who objected to such
display Of nudity" but the
Going Native" girls donned their
rompers and their shorts ANYHOW and
went down the river yesterday on the
City OF Washington for combination
rehearsal and recreati jaunt.
1t Is a difficult task, it seems, to
get started on such a cruise. Even
boat with schedule, like the City
OF Washington, can be delayed a bit
past Its O'Clock departure hour for
such an extraordinary occasion as
Going Native" girls rehearsing
aboard.
There are number of different
failings on the City of Washington
and there are several photographers
on hand who have to photograph the
girls sitting on and leaning over all
OF the railingS. There is a photog-
rapher who almost falls overheard
to get shot of Claire Gregorie stand
Ing on the rail. There is another who
moves all of the chairs on the stern
OF the boat to lie on the deck and
shoot Helen Unger as she hangs from
the flagpole.
Finally the lens boys get every-
thing they want except phone num-
bers) and the boat puts out down
the river. Then Harry Crosley calls
his girls together and is about to
rehearse when the captain of the
boat comes bursting in.
You can't" he says, put those
chairs on my dance floor" He seems
almost as angry as If he had caught
. couple Of people drilling holes in
the hull, but he Is the boss, and when
the routine calls for the girls to sit
down, they sit on the floor.
The boats passengers crowd about to
watch, and occasionally applaud. 1t
Is a free show, and what's more it Is
. preview of Going Native" 1t is a
good show, too, that Mr.. Crosley puts
on for the river breeze fans who have
come down the Potomac on the City of
Washington. He becomes properly
wrought up to let the onlookers know
what dance director at work looks
like and he shouts Hold it!' and
Take 1T again" just often enough.
But he doesn't work the kids too
hard. It's day to relax and have
. bit OF fun, so Harry dismisses the
girls and lets them have it. Down at
Marshall Hall Park there's more fun.
