Glamourous as the new moon it. self-those gipsy card fortunes you tell your friends on lazy summer evenings.
 To Jeans excited What about the men in my life?" you reply eyeing the Jack of Spades-"There's going to be some one new . dark and dashing"

 Paris - (UP) - Printed silks have a never failing appeal for daytime wear, regardless of tenn porary vogues for plain colors. Perhaps it's their gay spirit which makes them so welcome these days. More probably it's their wide diversity of design and their illimitable color range which gives them that grand option of adding becoming pounds to thin figures or of detracting weight from fat hips.
 Whichever result depends, as everyone knows, on the print chosen. Generally speaking there is noticeable Partisan tendency to more conservative prints, both as to color and design. The smart ness of polkadotted and finely fig ured surah silks is the most striking reflection of this tendency.
 Lavender and mauve shades provide favorite backgrounds - along with black, white and navy. Maggy Rouff uses & print with a lavender background and black and white floral design for simple afternoon dress. Mauve makes the background for Schiaparelli's print which has punches of purple grapes and white leaves trailing over its surface.
 Daisies for the print design are another sure fire success. Vera Borea exploits a black silk crepe printed with dainty yellow and white daisies. The dress has godets su-ray pleated and an inset girdle-belt of black satin. This combination of black satin with lowered crepe is repeated in a delightfully."- dressy tailored print suit whose lowered silk jacket has revers of black satin which extends to the waistline where they overlap and fasten with satin-covered but tons. No blouse is worn with the suit jacket. The revers form very low V which reveals @ flesh- h-colored lingerie vestee.
 White daisies on a green back ground make the silk print for the Mainbocher coat with a bloused back and an inset belt. Black and gray diamonds arc printed on white

 Stacking No Crime
 But Betty, let us say, isn't one two-three with Jerry, the worlds champion craWfish. Jerry won't get up in the morning, he won't wash his ears and he won't study his les sons. He puts of cutting the grass until it looks like hay. He has to be reminded and coaXed until we are desperate.
 Stacking is not cl.me. It is one of the natural ineptitudes of child hood. They simply don't like what they don't like. It shouldn't be so, but it is, and although I could go into scientific reasons for such re- missness, I simply state fact. In- deed, we are all that way, more or less.

 First of all, this annoying habit Of grouching about odd jobs can be overcome somewhat by balanc- ing the requests we make with con- sessions to deep interests. Jerry has some sense of fairnes, certainly, and don't believe he will fail you if he can do few things he really loves to do.

GloriMng Yourself

 According to Dr. Henry J. Schire- son, eminent plastic surgeon, who has written an interesting book, "As Others See You," 1t is possible to eat as much as you want and still remain slender. That is, if you eat your food very slowly and chew it well.
 If there is enough chewing for proper mastication and enough time allowed for the taste buds to excrete into the saliva their starch-reducing ferment and other digestive agents, even sweets will not be fattening," Dr. Schireson ex- plains.
 You will not want so much, and what you take will be digested into functional channels instead of be- ing turned into fat"
 The famous surgeon points out that the preparation of a specific diet is problem for the family doctor or the specialist. He speaks, too, of the importance of milk in any diet.
 "The medical profession has been unanimous for many years in as- serting that milk is essential to health, and that Americans do not take enough of it. Surgeons are called on constantly to combat the i'll effects of the resulting deficiency. Milk in any form-whole, evaporat- ed or powdered-is the quickest, cheapest and best source of cal- cium. A shortage of calcium in the blood delays the healing of wounds"
 Furthermore, the beauty minded woman will do well to remember that lack of calcium in the body makes for unhealthy, unattractive finger nails.
 One thing more is to be re- membered, according to Dr. Schire- son. And that has to do with the importance of losing weight in a sensible manner.
 Most persons are not satisfied to lose few pounds 8 week, but that is the intelligent way to reduce. You cannot do 1t properly by diet alone, or by exercise alone. The first step is proper eating. The next is the grim determination to keep up the system of chewing and exercise. When that is done, it never fails. Instead of being enervated by a lack of sufficient nutrition in the near-starvation diet, the patient will find himself with steadily increas- ing store of energy, and growing zest for living"

The parents, who say they will never accept the marriage, sent their daughter to college where the aim is to teach students to think for themselves. And then--ss oftens happens-were outraged when their daughters thinking didn't jibe with their own.
 A good many parents, 1t seems, want to have their cake and eat 1t too. They want their daughter to have all of the advantages open to . modern young woman. They want her to become self-reliant, be able to think for herself-and be capable of supporting herslf should the need ever arise.

Washing Gloves Safely

Washable fabric gloves may be kept meticulously clean and still hold shape and color with careful laundering. Use only a mild soap thoroughly dissolved in warm water. Avoid rubbing soap directly on the gloves or rubbing gloves on board. Try rather to soak the soil from the gloves by gently squeezing the suds through the fabric. If the soil is stubborn, brush the soiled spots gently with flexible brush. Rinse thoroughly in tepid water. squeeze dry and stretch on glove form or stuff with tissue paper to preserve shape and prevent color running. Hang in shady, airy spot to dry.

- WE, THE WOMEN - Parents Raise Children To Be Modern, Then Raise The Dickens When They Are

modern-but they don't want to be modern parents in return. They would like to hold the check rein And when they find they can't they don't take the news very philosophically. They react like parents.
 Any man or woman who wants to have a say-so in his daughters choice of marriage partner or her way of life has no business build ing up her independence with ed- ucation.
 The only way to make sure that young people will be obedient is to keep them dependent. Girls of an other age did what they were told because they didn't know how to do anything else.

Within a week Babe was cavort-

Henry spent a lot Of time watch
ing the two of them. Roberta al
ways had to remind him Of getting
about his chores.
It was in April that Henry first
began to worry about Babes being
stolen from him. It was about as
silly a thought as any he ever had.
Nobody around willows had ever
stolen anything in their lives. But
Henry had the thought and he
treasured it.

BRIGHT IDEA

He finally figured it out when
she was four months old. That
would be in May, 1928. The way it
happened, he had a nickel in his
hand one day and he was twisting
it around in his hand while he
tried to think of some way to
mark Babe. The nickel fell to the
ground. H my went to pick it up
and as he came up with it, his eyes
hit Babes flankS. The idea came
like a flash.
He went back into the barn (the
horses were in the pasture lot)
and got him a rope. With it, he
threw Babe and then, taking his
pen-knife, he cut a small slit in
her thigh, inserted the nickel and
SeWed the flesh back over it.
There you are, Babe" he said
as he let her up. THAT proves
you're mine unless I sell you. And
/ if do, it won't make no differ
en- e."
Strangely enough Babe was
stolen when she was one year old.
Both Henry and Roberta felt
pretty badly about it. Both
loved Babe and besides. she was
just about to get so that she
would be worth money on the
farm as a work horse. They
searched the whole countryside
but there wasn't a trace Of her
The reason for that was that
she had been stolen by Rud, the
Rom, a gypsy king who had seen
her months before, on a tour he
was making.
Rud, the Rom led her away, put
her in a horse truck and carried
her 200 miles east. There he put
her on sale. He got $40 for her
Now the years continued to &c
on, bad years for nearly every
body, terrible years for the Min
utes. Time and again, the Minute
farm was just about ready to be
sold at auction. And time anc
again, they saved it, mostly
through Roberta's drive. Roberts
was a driver. She drove herself
and she drove her father. Alons
with the money they got from
the Government for not planting
certain things, they Just did gel
