Plum Jam
BY JOSEPHINE HUGHES

In this hectic business of look
ing at clothes and more clothes
from morn till night, it's very
seldom that we any longer get
into what might be termed a
rapturouS state. But that's our
condition today, and all because
a designer, Brigance. has
whipped up such a WOW" Of a
new southern and cruiSewear
collection.
This personable young man,
who halls from Texas, has spent
some good time working in Paris
with Schiaparelli. Marjorie Dun
ton, and several other leading
couturiers, and this valuable
experience, coupled with his nat
ural flair for the unusual in
fashion, has enabled him to
turn out a collection of bathing
suits, playclotheS and spectator
outfits that defy all classic prin-
cipleS in simple sports chic.
In Mr.. Brigance'S own words
these outfits fill the gap be-
tween the conservative and the
fantastic in fashions, and he
strives to make sports clothes
more feminine without going too
completely chi-chi.
He's q fiend about never run

did get up though, her face was
all covered with mud and she
had lost her beret. But she
was smiling from ear to ear. She
knew that we were watching her.

got the idea of having one sport

became impatient to get on their
skis. You know last year they
had their first taste Of this
sport.

AS I say, when they got out
their skis and ski poles, and 1t
was sure funny to see them try
ing to slide over the grass on
the lawn. It was pretty hard
going, of course, but Yvonne
and Cecile kept at it for some
little time. Cecile was trying to
get up speed on an incline.
She had a couple Of tumbles'
and that ended the skiing.

After their first meeting they
had what Mrs. Bennett called a

w youth do you suppose
those parents led who want
to deprive their girls and
boys of all the JOY and re-
sponsibility to which youth
is entitled?
It's amazing the number of
letters this column receives
about "strict parents" A
complacent mother, who may
have been married twice her
self, will write to say that
she intends to bend every
effort to keep her daughter
"unspotted from the world"
She goes on to say that she
has seen so many unhappy
marriages among young peo-
pie, she would prefer that
Mary or Dorothy remain
home with her all their lives,
rather than take the chance
of adding to another un-
happy marriage.

For individual
This lady forgets entirely that
the question of her daughters

lem. The mother can help and
hope that her daughter marries
well, but it's the girl who makes
the vow.

But I've had letters from lads
who worked after school hours,
and were then expected to spend
their evenings beneath the glow
Of the family lamp instead OF
going to some well-supervised
boys club, because their chroni-
cally careful parents feared
they'd get into mischief.
Parents can't really do much
more than know their girls

them welcome in their homes, be

Shelter Was
Shobbier Than Men

The churches here conducted
a down-at-the-heel mission %
years ago. 1t was shabbier than
the men it sheltered, and hun
grier for help. There were rats,
there was dirt, falling plaster
and rotting wood.
Out Of 81 applicants for the
job of running this unfortunate
establishment, John Bennett
was chosen. He and his wife
had lost their only child. They
came to Washington to fresh
associations, new work.
City GaUe Freely
To Mission
They rebuilt the mission.
They built the children'S home.
They bought the camp. They
produced money out of the air.

Irish smile and diSarmed by his
wife's gentle voice and impressed
by the vigor with which both
accomplished the impossible,

John Bennett died, the mission
had paid off every dime of its
debts.
Mrs. Bennett does no preach
ing at the mission, but she does
conduct the weekly radio pro-
gram. The first time she did
it was the day her husband
was stricken with a heart at
tack resulting in the long ILL
ness from which he never re-
covered.
