Garden Party
FrocRS Featured

A local shop will show garden
party frocks which are worn so
much in Washington. Inciden-
tally this is one of the features
of life here which surprises and
amazes the SophiSticates from
other cities. They are at first in
clined to rebel a bit and appear
in black day-frocks, strings of
pearls and silver foxes to find
they look queer and strange.
These same women show up at
the next garden party in the
filmiest laces and most pro-
nounced picture hats, realizing
that's smart in Washington and
surrounding country.
One of the gowns from our
local shop is to be a white crepe
dress with a flounce of Amer
ican beauty lace and a matching

TOMORROW'S lace show at

a collection of imports brought
to Washington especially for
this occasion.
Visitors to the show will see
Bruyere's soft little summer-day
suit of sheer blue lace patterned
with white daisies. There will
be formal afternoon gowns from
Lelong and from Marcelle Dor
moy comes a draped bodice frock
of sheer blue Chantilly.
Evening gowns are gosSamer
shadow laces and Chantillys for
the most part. A cursory pre-"
glance at the collection today
revealed that one of the most
sensational is 6 Paquin formal
gown in black and green lace,
with the green pattern worked
in a ribbon effect on the sheer
black ground.
A lovely white Patou Winter

with off-the-shoulder decolletage

Dear Miss Blake:

Dear Miss Blake:
I met the girl of my dreams
when I went to her sisters home
to collect the premium on her in,
surance. Soon I became a regu.
lar visitor, and though I was
eager to marry her, somehow I
couldn't get up the courage to
ask her the all-important ques-

II thought I didn't care about
him, but I've found out now
that 1 love him. I'd like to see

when I'm not allowed to have
boys at the house? Shall I meet
him on the sly? L. r."
This letter might well be of
interest to parents who object
to their daughters seeing young
men properly under the parental
roof. Mothers and fathers who
forebid, or find fault and sulk
when a young man appears,
might as well make up their
minds to the fact that, if their
daughters can't see their boy
friends at home, they'll meet
them outside.
Parents
Must "GiUe Up."
Many girls are doomed to a
lonely old age because parents
crush their daughters spirits so
oroughly that they haven't
ar courage or mettle left. We
have all seen those silent, un.
happy creatures. However, any
normal girl doesn't submit; she
has ways and means of meeting
the wall of parental opposition.
But this is the question: Why
do parents think that the whole
plai. of nature has come to an
abrupt stop in the case Of their
daughters? They are thrilled by
the great adventure Of life, as
the. mothers and fathers were
thrilled.
Isn't it better to keep in close
touch with your girlS-be their
friends, buddieS, confidantS, il
poSSible-inStead of being the
aloof censors that some parents
are today
There never was a truer
proverb than: Stolen fruits are
sweetest" Why add to the
thrill of meeting a boy, the
pleasure of the thought that it
is being done on the sly?
Concealment is the spice Of
life. Bootleg love affairs are as
dangerous as bootleg liquor. II

To ths Editor OF Ths star:
Mr., Owen L. Scott, In your issue Of

an inconsistency in the fact that loans
to the Government and its agencies are
greatly oversubscrihed while private
funds are not forthcoming for the pur-
pose Of reuving private industry. He
refers to the charge Of Robert Il, jackson
and James A. Farley that private capltai
is putting on a "sit-down strike, ana,
without expressing any opinion regard
ing the merits Of the charge, says that
the problem Is taking shape IN ofncial
minds in the following form:
IF private industry, with its big ac-
cumulations of capital, or private finance,
with its access to huge amounts OF money,
Is either unwilling or unable to venture
and thereby to provide the Nation with
the activity that means recovery. then
the Government will he forced to take
over larger and larger part Of the
task
Of course. the theory that private in-
dustry Is deliberately committing hara-
kiri In order to discredit the present ad-
ministraticn is arTant nonsense. There
Ii no inconsistency or mystery IN the
preference Of Government securities TO
private industry for investment. The
former enjoy the security Of the taxing
power Of the Government. while the
latter Is tha favorite target for taxation

tions unparalleled In our history In
