 Paris, (UP)-"A bird is the hand is worth two in the bush" is fast becoming an axiom of the fashion world; and there vii lbe many birds who do not fly south this winter but who remain north so that their feathers can provide decoration for niadames fall and winter wardrobe.
 The most belligerent cock and the shyest ostrich are meeting on com mon Paris ground. The formers feathers, with their green sheen, promise to top the winter chapeaux; the latter's plumes already have made their appearance so elegant that they undoubtedly will be re- tained when Summer heat changes to winter cold.
 Feathers, in short, will join em- broidery and braids as outstanding trimmings. Entire evening capes of ostrich feathers are among the most ostentatious feather works. La Grande Maison de Blanc features the soft, feminine wraps in char treuse, dusty pink, black and white ostrich. Paquin uses the plumes less sparingly but just as strikingly when he makes a Royal Purple ostrich boa to drape around the neck of a white evening gown.
 Even the lingerie field does not escape the ostrich urge. A delicious ly feminine nightie case is made en- tirely of pin kostrich plumes, cut

WOMAN,S REALM :
Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

 To the June graduate who is looking for her first job:
 It is a great mistake to appear at the desk of someone who you hope will give you g job in his or ganization, in clothes that are to fussy or too casual. This excludes hats with fantastic trimming or flowing wells and all dresses except simple, neatly tailored ones, design ed for the street and not for an afternoon tea. It excludes also the sweaters and skirts and flat-heeled sports shoes you loved to wear on the campus last year.
 Make sure that you are and look clean head to foot. Many a girl has been turned away with "we1l get in touch with you later" simply be- cause her hair wasn't soft and shin- ingly clean or because her neck was- nt as white as her face.
 White collars and cuffs and gloves ought to be truly white, of course. Shoes should be freshly shined, stocking seams straight and purse fairly flat Cat least not bulg- ing). Whatever you do, don't wand CT in minus your girdle. This last is more important than you perhaps realize.
 Don't go in for dramatic effects in makeup. Unless your brows and lasi1es are absolutely colorless, just skip mascara. By all means, skip eye shadow. Your powder and lip- stick must be carefully applied. Un- less you have plenty of natural color in your cheeks, wear bit of rouge. This Is no time to be pale. The man behind the desk is likely to mistake the wan look you tried 50 hard to achieve for just plain poor health.
 If your posture isn't all 1t should be, correct the defects before you apply for any job. One who slumps into an office or who cannot pos- sibly stand on both feet with chest high, backbone straight and stomach in just is not going to radiate effi- ciency.
 See that your hands are perfect ly groomed. Don't wear your finger nails so long that they are positive ly claw-like. And do wear a fairly subdued shade of nail polish. At- though bright red lacquers have be- come widely popular, there still are plenty of executives who hate them.

 He Clowns Merely to Compel Attention
to Contel Attention

an intelligent parent ought to see that his son or daughter has some other way of attracting their ad- miration.
 It won't do to see that Mary is a nice girl or Bill fine boy-and nothing more. Old people are at- tracted by those qualities in the young-but by themselves they count for little with other young people.
 On top of being "nice," parents ought to see that Mary or Bill is an excellent dancer (excels at the big apple or the rhumba), that they can play popular music on the plano (college students do 8 lot of sing ing), or are all set for taking part in college theatricals. They ought to shine at one thing which counts with young people.
 If Bill can make the football team, talk on his feet well enough to get himself elected president of his class, or write well enough to make himself big shot on the col lege paper, he won't have to out drink every member of his fraternity in order to win their respect.
 It's too late to do anything about the boy or girl who goes away to school this fall-but 1t isn't too late to prod into action the son or daughter who won't leave home for two or three years.

them in every class, rich, middle and poor.
 All in all, these are, fortunately, only a small proportion of parents as a whole. Nearly all parents show the affection they feel for each boy and girl.
 The question is, Does it hurt q child to be starved in his natural affections?"
 Yes, 1t does. Affection like any other emotional impulse needs an outlet. It must be met half way. Otherwise we are likely to have on our hands young seekers after artificial thrills, noncomformists to society with a warped attitude to other people in general.
 The child, like the adult, prefers to choose those he wants to love him. No others will do quite so well. His parents are the ones he na- turally chooses, for thousand rea- sons. He can be hurt far more through this denial than almost anything else in his life. He must feel the unity of the three--father. mother and self. This gives him a starting point in life. He works from there, 50 to speak. He will take disciplining better, learn duty more quickly and react more kind- ly to his world.
 To be exact there is no substi- ute for parental love. Love your child and let him know it.

boys Cor girls) who attach them selves to their affectionate care- takers in lieu of theri mothers. This Is true sometimes and, again, not true.
 The rich do not need to bear all the brunt of criticism, as many a child in the middleclass home gets only the indifferent leftovers of his parents love. There is, for example, the mother who is too busy with her social affairs and lets children know by word and gesture that they come second in her life. There is the father too busy with business, too saturated with ideas of filial duty to think of his own duty and of showing signs of love or good fellowship.

 Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt's extensive and continual travels cost her the custody of her little daugh- ter, Gloria.

 Millicent Rogers Salm Ramos Balcom has been around some since she was just Millicent Rogers, American heiress to the oil fortune of H. H. Rogers. Already widely travelled in Europe while a mere girl, 1t was at fashionable Biarritz that she met the fascinating Count Hugo Ludwig Salm von Hoogstrae- ten of Austria.

 Sarawak is a long way from St.. Mary Lebon in London. It is in Borneo, from which circus wild men were once reputed to come. But Valerie Brooke, English daugh- ter of the White Rajah" of Sara wax and known to the natives as Princess Baba, made the distance with ease.
 It was in London that she mar ried Bob Gregory, catch-as-catch- can wrestling champ of Europe. They immediately started west, crossing the United States to Hol- lywood, Borneo-bound by very easy stages.
 Princess Baba" has announced that on her return to Borneo she and Bob are going to buy an island and establish a kingdom of "Baba- land," where every man will be a rajah, thus running Huey Long a bad second. What with?" sniffed her mother, the Rance of Sarawak

FOR LUSH GARDENS

A new appliance for watering lawn and garden is made of a spe- cially constructed canvas which al- lows water to seep through its por- ous surface thoroughly dampening the ground for a radius of approxi- mately four feet on each side over its entire length. It can be pur- chased in lengths of 18 and 30 feet, is inexpensive and durable, is closed at one end and attaches to the gar- den hose at the other. It can be moved from place to place without turning of the water, and is eco nomical in that every bit of the water released soaks down into the soil.
