Fashion Plays
Part in the
Night Club
Outstanding Gown
To Be Feature of
Every Evening.
BY HELEN VOGT.

THAT old gag about man bites
dog may not be 50 ridiculous
after all. Since the origin of night
clubs, one Of their favorite uses-as
far as the feminine contingent is
concerned-has been as q place to
display the latest styles, and many
a female devotee Of night life has
found it an excellent medium through
which to show of her wardrobe.
But the tide has turned. Instead Of
the patrons showing the club the
styles. the management does q right
about-face and gives the patrons an
eye-full. Man bites dog.
In other words, the latest move is
the announcement by one of the large
hotels Of gown of the evening"
Owing to the interest in feminine
styles this season, a model will appear
every evening to electrify the audience
in an outstanding frock. She will
display suits and afternoon dresses as
well as high styles for after dark-all
from local shop.
1t Is really an innovation, this busi-
ness Of combining fashions with night
club entertaining And q smart idea
it is. too. After all, it gives women an
opportunity to see the latest and most
up-to-the-minute clothes in the proper
surroundings chance they would
not ordinarily have It is often hard
to visualize a dress in its correct set

store, and equally as annoying when
We see one worn in night club and
haven't the faintest idea where to
get something similar So here is
the opportunity to see and admire
the styles in the very place you may
wear them later.
There is undoubtedly a great signifi-
canoe in this move. Besides being the
first attempt Of this kind OF which
We have ever heard, it goes to show
the growing importance Of the correct
clothes. and the wide interest-both
male and female-in the latest whims
Of Dame Fashion.

Latest Etiquette
Book Reviewed.

SAFE CONDUCT, by Margaret Fish
back. Published by Modern Age
Books, Inc. Illustrated by Helen
HokinSon.
One Of the most entertaining and
unusual books we have read recently
Is this new volume on etiquette. Un-
like most Of its sisters and brothers,
Safe Conduct" treats the problem
Of correct procedure in light vein,
and yet Margaret Fishback has the
knack Of combining the humorous
with the logical.
The author-whose platform Is
etiquette tempered with common
sense"-has successfully covered almost
every phase of correct conduct. She
includes. everything from travelling
manners to proper table service, and
does 1t in a breezy. modern style that
is so typical Of the younger set today.
She pokes unmerciful fun at the
acknowledged authorities on correct
manners, chides them for their con.
servative and set ways, and at the
same time manages to include advice
on the modern code Of etiquette. The
latter, according to Miss Fishback.
is based on the theory BE Natural." !"
Sprinkled throughout this amusing
book are excellent sketches by Miss
Hokinson and the frothy verses of
Miss Fishback and others. It makes
fascinating as well as instructive read
ing from beginning to end, and sums
up nicely the problems of conduct
no matter what the time or place.
We feel safe in saying that the howls
OF protest from the more conservative
feminine contingent will be easily
drowned In the applause Of those who
are in favor Of adapting etiquette to
modern living. Nv

Teach Child
Ritual Of
Church
Collection Plate
Means Nothing
10 YOungster.
BY ANGELO PATRT,

WE ARE in a terrible state. Our
youngest boy has taken his
church money for candy for the last
month. We only found it out Just
now. His older brother told him he
would have to tell us If he did not stop
1t. and finally he had to tell on him.
We give him everything he needs and
1t grieves us to have a child of ours
turn thief. He is g."
He isn't thief. He made mistake,
but perhaps we had a share in that
mistake. This child is 8 years old, the
age when activity is driving him hard; /;
when appetites are strongest; when ex-
perience Is scantiest. We send him
to church on lovely morning, and
make him sit still for about two hours,
with nothing to interest him.
Church may interest the grown up
person. It should. But I have seen
some very stalwart churchmen Sleep
| ing through the sermon. Haven't you?
How must it feel for little boy OF 8
to sit through the meaningless ritual
OF church? And the collection plate?
It comes along and he drops in his
coin and sees it no more. He does
not know why he puts it in there. He
does not know where it goes. And
il you told him he would not be in
| terested.
Now suppose you were little boy
facing two hours, or even less, in
church, sitting in silence, immovable,
while the clergyman talked and you
sat uninterested, uninformed. Suppose
you had nickel in your pocket as you
passed the candy store. You thought
Of how good it would be to have few
lemon balls to suck through that
dreary hour? And you went in and
exchanged that nickel for those lemon
balls? Thief? Isn't that too big a
word for so small a boy? The wrong
word for the idea? I believe it is. 1
think We have responsibility in the
spending Of that nickel. And I think
We ought to take heed to 1t.
First, If you want child to attend
church. 60 along with him. Don't
send him. Take him. The difference
is great. 1t changes his whole attitude
toward church. And supply q bag Of
candy to be fed out surreptitiously
during the sermon. Grandmother's
peppermints were not without merit.
And tell the child why he puts that
nickel in that plate. Give his mind .
reason for what his hand must do
Charge his imagination so that that
nickel seems all too small for the serv-
ice it must render and this trouble will
vanish like snow in summer.
Once we had a small boy in he
house. His grandmother took him to
missionary service one afternoon.
He took cents for collection. He, too,
was 8. We were expecting the church.
goers home for tea when the door
burst open; the breathless, hatless
child raced through the house to his
room and got his bank.
Here, here, where are you going
with that? Where's your grand
mother? Stand still minute. What's
the matter with you, anyway"
Don't stop me. gotta get this
money to the children in Armenia.
They haven't anything to eat, nor
beds, nor anything, and they have to
eat their own kittens, maybe" So
away the bank went.
That's what I mean saying, make
giving mean something. Our ex-
perience was overdone, but he got the

It Is interesting and reassuring,
somehow, to see the same faces that,
years ago, one encountered in front
Of various stalls, engrossed in trying
to wheedle an extra peach for imme-
diate consumption, while mother dis
coursed earnestly with the fruit dealer;
or gazing with fascinated eyes at the
miracle Of meat dressing-now doing
the discoursing with their own small
companions engaged in the same pur-
suits. And, nine times out Of ten, the
kindly soul who granted our desire
for the peach, or told us why roast

same performance with the present
younger set!
It is all very nice and cozy; one has
. soothed and more confident feeling

PUT, after all sentiment doesn't
get us to the business Of the day,
which Is to talk about the products
In the markets, rather than the at
moephere surrounding them!
There are lots Of little yellow pear
tomatoes, and some oddly shaped red
ones, to be found now for preserving,
picking and so on. They are mex
pensive and seem unusually firm and
fine. Peaches are on their way out
but to take their place come green
figs and stewing pears and fine grape
fruit. Florida oranges, as well as
CALIFORNIA;, are with us again. Honey
dews are excellent, and If one still
clings to cantaloupes, there are some
good ones TO be found even this late.
Niagara grapes, Tokays and blue Con-
cords, as we'll as seedless, are fine
this year. Seckel and Bartlett pears
are always welcome and were never
better.
Butter beans, corn, nmas and string
beans are good. Okra is much larger
now than heretofore; hence it is bet
ter for cooking with other vegetables
rather than trying to serve it whole.
Brussels sprouts are green and firm,
and surprisingly free from discolor-
alton.
There are brook trout to be had
and very reasonable, too, considering

posed to be. Soft shell crabs are still

A New Idea.

Did you ever serve baked beans in
green peppers? It's grand idea.
1t will take about 80 minutes for
the stuffed peppers to bake. Serve
them with fresh salad, hot bread,
beverage and simple dessert, and you
have mighty good luncheon or
supper.
