Pais. (UP)-Knitting long ago ceased being confined to bed jackets and grandmother's shawlS, but this season there is @ special modern spirit and elegance not only in the knitting needles but in the crochet hook.
 The most formal gowns are of metallic "yarn," of colorful cello- phane knits in rich jewel shades, and of loosely knitted ribbon worn over metallic slips. -.,,
 Aniwo, who started the now universal practice of knitting in ribbon has introduced a multi colored ribbon which knits up into a brilliant flower design.
 Some of the most dramatic models Of the season come from the tricot houses; @ navy blue hostess gown with huge blue eye and gold eyelashes over one breast has long sleeves which end in floor length drapery. This gown was de- signed by De War, who has flair for the eccentric, and is becoming known as the Schiaparelli of knit world. She forms breast pockets on a black dress out of red lips, and extends the sleeves of silver lace and black silk knit bolero into gloves.
 Paule Valence does startling things with a crochet hook and 1n- numerable balls of raffia. Bright blue raffia makes a formal gown, the bouffant skirt composed of vari- sized crocheted circles. Beige raffia is loosely knit into flowing gown worn over a pink silk slip and &C., cented with pink and green halter. Wanda Koffler uses raffia for a striking sports swagger coat lined

in cerise shantung and embroidered with raised curleques.
 At this house there is another trick which stresses originality in knitwear. The intricate knit design of a series of evening boleros is taken up and re-embroidered in rhinestones and jewels, adding flrr- ther elegance to what used to be exclusively a sports medium.
 Knitted accessories are rampant. The fad of wearing scarves Goya- like over the head is expressed in the tricot mode by fishnet scarves often weighted down with little balls or fishhooks. Gloves with each finger knitted in a different pastel are popular, and pouch bags are often knitted to match the costume.

But even in New York, it seems, teachers private life is the busi- ness of the school board.
 Now, we are not trying to defend MT. Dallmer's actions. It isn't wise for & married man to write even slightly amorous letters to a girl. But we think the matter ought to be fought out between 8 man and his wife-not @ man and his em- ployer.
 A man in any other profession could do what MT. Dallmer is charged with doing without any, ones daring to criticize him open ly-much less trying to kick him out of his job.
 Of course, the school board is passing its action on the fact that the girl was pupil. But she was night school student-free, white and twenty -one, and holding 8 job.
 So does it seem necessary for school board to decide it must pro- tect her morals?
 No. the fight as we see it is the fight of 8 man who thinks that the salary he is paid by the city does not entitle anyone to tell him how to live his life. If he is doing a good job of teachings, and not writing love let ters on the city's time-he should be let alone.
 The city found not long ago that on the tests given its teachers, women rated higher in intelligence than men. Some people wondered why.
 Well, the reason probably is that able men are not so willing to be told how to live outside their work ing hours.
 Kicking out a school teacher for his behavior outside the classroom isn't likely to make up-and-coming young men any more eager to enter such hidebound profession.
 So win or lose, we're glad to see that one teachSr is fighting for the right to enjoy the personal liberty that men of other professions enjoy. And we hope he wins. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

MT. Bunny and his spouse step out together in thoroughly modern garb, this spring, to welcome the children at Easter morning break fast or adorn the table at a little folks Easter party This up-to-date pair makes an engaging center piece, which mothers and aunts can easily fashion. Each figure is made from two pompoons of clear trans parent drinking straws of "cello- phane" cellulose film, which are formed by wiring bunch of 800 straws for the head and 300 for the body. The two parts are then shaped and wired together. The straws on Mrs. Bunny's skirt and bodice are tipped with pink sealing wax, and green wax is used on the lower part of the other bunny.

Gloriying Yourself

 Don't tell your daughter to 'hold her shoulders back" then feel that you have taught her all you can about good posture. She should be told, at an early age, that straight backbone makes for nice carriage, q lovely figure; that shoulders should be square but not forced stiffly backward. Give her an ex- ercise or two to eliminate an ex- aggerated hollow in the center of her little spine, and her shoulders will be square. Furthermore, her stomach will be flat and her hips will seem smaller.
 The pleasantest thing about pos ture exercises is that they do not have to be done morning after morn ing, year after year. Once any per- son, child or adult, has learned how to do one or two correctly, once a week from then on ought to be enough.
 Here's a good posture correc- tive for your daughter - and for you, too:
 Lie nat on the noor Wltn arms at sides, knees bent so that weight of the legs rests on ball of the feet. Notice that there is a good deal of space between the center of backbone and floor. The ob- ject of the exercise is to eliminate that space, to draw in the stom- ach, elevating chest and pressing center of spinal column flat against the hard surface.
 Begin by tipping the base of your spine slightly upward. At first, you may have to press your feet firmly against the floor. Later on, you'll be able to eliminate the hollow without putting any extra weight on feet.
 When backbone is straight, chest high, stomach in, you should not be able to put even one finger between spine and floor. Now relax, stretch ing legs. Repeat ten times. When you get up, try to stand correctly hips titled forward as end of spine was turned upward when you were on the floor, stomach drawn in, neck straight, chest very high.

The perfect pal for an all-day outing-a girl whose talks as merry as the twinkle in her eye.
 But she used to seem timid and tongue-tied until building a new vocabulary gave her poise and charm. To make her speech lively and interesting, she followed tips like these:

She saw him move, as If to get

the opposite side of the seat and

Now step out into the aisle

Cardowan said loudly. "One at q
time. Every one!"
The men filed out into the aisle,
looking angry, and walked to the
end of the car. Even the old lady
got up and hobbled down the aisle.
When they were all past, Cardo-

sShe got up and glanced at the
man behind her, slumped in pool
of blood on the seat. He was a
puncher, dressed in Lewis, the hand
holding a Colt lying peacefully
across his chest, a ragged hole in
his face under his eye that was
running a thin stream Of blood
down his cheek.
AS she passed up the aisle, Car

And Kate, numb with the misery

Judge, T., Knocks Self Home
With Winning Tally-Cuess!
By ROD THOMAS.

You've heard Of oneman ball teams
but probably none as singularly
manned as the Tennyson Street Sena-
tors. Of which Joe Judge. jr, son of
the old Griffman, is leader.
Little Joe. aged 10, is first baseman,
team manager, captain and club pres
ident and muffs no opportunity to use
his prerogatives.
In a recent game. the Senators
trailed by one run in the last inning
Joe hit a homer to tie the score. Then
he ordered himself up as pinch hitter
for the next batter and drew a walk.
Reverting to strategy again. he
ordered the boy he'd just batted for to
run for him.
Then, giving the hit-and-run signal.
he smacked a double to score the
winning tally.
Genuinely astute and witty, little
Joe told his dad:
"Well, II the other team didn't
know any better it wasn't my fault"
On such philosophy have many
rules been instituted
ventured the reporter: "You must
have lot of time on your hands. Joe?"
WELL" he said. when I'm not too
busy, coach"

neighborhood, the Senators I'LL in with
