dressed woman. Your inter-
viewer, as sideline observer,
decided Mary was against it.
Buddy Rogers is definitely on
the mend, after his automobile
accident in Columbus, Ohio, al
thought his shoulder requires
treatment.
The Rogers-Pickford marriage
must still be in the honeymoon
stage, for Buddy recently gave
his Mary a full evening in Chi
cago. 1t was occupied with Mrs.
Rogers trying on hats, first with
out her hair up, la Darrieux,
then with modified coiffure.
One hat after another. Poor
Buddy. He finally decided that
Mary's hair looked best in the
compromise style she affected
yesterday.
NO COLLEGIATE ROLES
For Buddy she has plans, too.
When Producer Walter Wanger
told her he had swell part for
her husband in a new picture,
Mary asked what it was about.
He's a collegiate in a rah-
rah story" replied Wanger. 60
no further, it's out" was the
verdict. Buddy is grown up and
wants a real part" And that's
that.
Mary talked with her co-direc.
tor Sam Goldwyn at $3.50 over
the long distance from Califor-
mia. But before that she had
made it plain the picture she
liked, best of all seen in many
previews, was THE Informer."
She would like to see United
Artists make some like it, ex-
cept it wasn't box office.
Her childhood past caught up
with her when Louis J. (Duke)
Fosse called on the phone and
asked for a reunion. Mr.. FoSse
was manager of the For A
Human Life" company, in which
tiny Mary played the baby role.
Tonight at the Carlton they will
exchange memories.
HER PRECIOUS JEWEL
That's all folks. Except that
Mary wore a gorgeous square
cut emerald ring, gift of Buddy.
On her arm was a beautiful dia-
mond bracelet, and Mary's eyes
fill when you admire it.
The jewel was executed from
a design made by her beloved.

 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Adhesions
 If doctor says X-ray pictures show chronic appendicitis with ad- hesions, is there any remedy be- sides operation? (H. T. A0
 Answer-Diagnosis of chronic ap- pendicitis is always doubtful, us- ually wrong. Adhesions nearly al- ways follow acute inflamma ton, and usually cause no trouble.
 Cyst in Eyelid
 Boy, six, has Jumps in upper and lower eyelids. Doctor says upper must be removed by operation, but to let lower lump alone and it will presently disappear. (Mrs. E. M)
 Answer-Upper lump probably chalazion, Meibomian cyst, requires removal through incision through lining of lid, under local anesthesia. Lower lump probably hordoleum tstye), best treated with applica- tions of hot moist congresses (many folds gauge kept wet with teaspoonful boric acid and tea spoonful boric acid and teaspoonful common salt to pint of watep and smearing edges of lids at night with boric acid salve or plain soft petro- latum.

like the chattering ones who talk enough nonsense to cover up their own uneasiness.
 But later on the intelligent girl will meet men who enjoy her in telligence. She won't find them everywhere she goes, but she will meet few with whom she can talk and trade ideas.
 Even with them, she should be very careful not to parade her knowledge. Men don't like that trait in each other, and they hate it in woman.
 But she needn't pretend not to know things that she does know, or ask questions that she can an- swer herself. That is pure nonsense.
 And she needn't leave all of the talking to the man. If she is care- ful to do less than half, she is per- fectly safe. She can even venture to disagree when she wants to - providing she can do it graciously.
 All this for fear a woman who likes to talk and has something to say will go around playing dumb all her life-in order to get along With men. When there actually are men who would give her better listen- ing break than most of the women she knows. And who won't hold her intelligence against her. That is, so long as they never think for a min- ute that she knows more than they do.

WOMAN'S REALM |
Fashion Loosens Up And Springs New One For Easter
 The 'Free-'n'-Easy" Silhouette
BY MARIAN YOUNG
(NEA Service Staff Correspondent

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York - This is the spring of springs for the wo- man who never has been quite happy in man-tailored suits or coats which are figure-hug- ging - often figure-binding. For, in addition to severely tailored togs - always chic and always right-there's a new silhouette in the Easter fashion picture. It is called, variously, loose-fitting, easy lined, 'free-'n'-easy."
 Fullness swings forward in black wool afternoon coat which Paris couturier Bruyere features And it swings from the waist line, giving hips and legs complete freedom. Fullness swings from all directions in many of American couturiere Elizabeth Hawes' coats. As a matter of fact, in every collec- toin, easy-fitting clothes vie with figure moulding ones.
 If you have had a slim reefer every spring for years, ask to see a few coats with bloused backs. Maybe you'll decide to try one for a change. Look, too, at coats with elbow-length sleeves. And with full cut armholes.
 Derive from Gibson Blouses
 In evening as well as daytime dresses, fullness often begin at the waistline instead of just be- low hips. Many redingote ensem- bles include dresses with pleated skirts and easy-fitting coats with skirts and easy fitting coats with back that swing and sleeves which end anywhere between el- bow and wrist.
 The vogue, talked about early in the winter, for separate skirts and Gibson girl blouses and bal lerina skirts with full blouses such as Spanish bullfighters wear. both talked about early in season was forerunner of the new silhouette Couturiers may have figured that the woman who has been wearing a loose blouse and flaring sWirt under her winter coat might not like to discard them in favor of a perfectly straight skirt and a snug jacket.
 The majority of hats seem to be less difficult to keep on the head, too. Large numbers of them have crowns that are little deeper. And wide ribbons instead of narrow elas- tic bands across the back are evil dence that no girl really will have to walk in the Easter parade with one hand on her hat.

-UP)-The back pages of history are being dog cared by fash ionable Paris dress designers for in- spiration this year, and the fashion commentator who last spring thought she was doing well because she could talk glibly about Van Gogh colors now sits at typewriter surrounded by the Encyclopedia Britannica, a dozen old history books and Gardner's "Art Through the Ages.
 Women won't look as if they stepped out of a bardbox this sea- son, but out of picture-frame in the Art Institute. The morning en- semble throws pastels into conjunc- tion in the manner of Seurat and the 18th century Impressionists; and ever it is worn coat with folded back pleats from shoulder to hem that is copied from Watteau's paintings.
 For afternoon, there is a dress whose draped and pleated lines were copied from charming little short skirted number worn by Diana the Huntress, in a Greek statue of the same name.
 i Duffs of organdy at the neck, and jackets that flare outward from the waist are remindful of Holbein's pie ture of England's King Henry VIII. Touches of lace at the cuffs and hems and borders of suits, both wool and silk, are reminiscent of the French court of Marie Antoinette.

BEAUTY

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Permanent wave rule number one is to go to a thoroughly experi- enced hxirdresser who will take the time and trouble to study the tex ture of your hair and give you test curl before he switches on the current to heat all the curling rods
 Methods vary, of course, and some are better than others, but the important thing is to find an expert who understands hair as well as permanent wave lotions and machines. On the operator depends the result. If he knows how much heat your hair can stand (and the only way he can accurately tell this is by a test curb and knows how to wind it on the rods, all is well. In other words, shop for an operator rather than method. Then depend on him to choose the method and the type of lotion.
 The perfect permaent wave leaves the hair as soft as it was before the winding started. Further mroe, it doesn't weaken the hairs duCdUy SlOWllJ Oi CdlloC llCW OllCo to grow less rapidly. Dyed heads are the most difficult of all to wave, but even this can be done satis- factorily. All one with dyed hair needs to find is an expert-in the true sense of the word. Coarse hair demands less heat than extremely fine tresses. But this, too, is up to the hairdresser in charge.
 The main thing the individual can do to make sure that her per manent will be beautiful and give long service is to care properly for her hair before and. after the ap- pointment. Go to your expert with hair made healthy by nightly brush ing, cleanliness and regular use of a good tonic. Afterward, don't stop brushing for fear of running the new wave. Any permanent wave worth having becomes even prettier when brushed regularly.
 NEXT: Don'ts for hair.

VITAMIN THRIFT

To retain a maximum of food value and flavor when using canned vegetables. at least two important facts should be noted Remember that some of the nutri- tional value of the vegetable has necessarily gone into the liquor in the can, so utilize it in soups, sauces or gravies. Don't throw it away. And since the vegetable is al- ready cooked during the canning process, it is necessary only to re- heat before serving. Prolonged cook ing may cause the vegetables to be- come soft, unattractive to serve, and havorless.

 There is this to be said of the growing child, one old enough to whistle up his latent courage. Once he has licked his own fear, he has added considerably to his stature in general. He has been ashamed secretly of his coWardice and built a tangle of imagined failure about it. Now he is free from his barriers. He generates courage in other directions, a free being at last. And water is only the symbol of a hundred possible fears.
 Why consider that little child ab- normal who is scared of his shadow? He isn't any more unusual that the rest of us, who have reached cour- age through reason, but still arc afraid. He is beginning life. When his own reason, inteerst and judg- ment are ready, all three will assist in his rescue. In the meantime, let mothers try to understand these fears
