Well, ladies, if I sat up all

it really is. Mystery is the great

these girls see for themselves
that there's nothing magical in

HOLLYWOOD, July 4.
THE truly chic woman is just
L as careful about her fashion
diet as she is about the number
of calories she consumes daily.
She would never dream of con"
filming her buying to color
full models of daring cut, nor
would she consider an ensemble
loaded down with novelties. On
the contrary, the bulk OF her
clothes are practical and con-
servative though trim and mod
ish. It is only here and there
that she balances them with the
frivolous things so outstanding
they can be worn with only a
few costumes or only a few
times.
Margaret Lindsay balances
the practical side of her fashion
diet with one red dress a season
which she dares to wear only a
very few times. However, she'll
be able to skip it this summer
because Howard Shoup has de-
signed bright red sports dress
for her to wear in her new film
for Warner Brothers, Three
Girls on Broadway"
Many OF the girls in Hollywood

family foolish in every woman's

Important
Question
Did you make love TO your
husband as you have made love
to the other man? Did you go
out WITH him and try to make
him want you to run away from
your tasks and duties just for
fun? Did you?
Now you want to know if you
should give up the man. You
can do that or go on, the choice
is yours. If you go on it will
end anyway, it always does.
Even your drinking has to end
somewhere in ruin of some kind.
The duration of the wrong kind
OF living is always so short.
Ask yourself if you are willing
to pay the price you must pay
for that brief interlude. Don't
play innocence even to yourself.
Open your eyes not in innocence,
but in intelligence.

who filled her room with

The letter following doesn't
differ much from the usual
pvotestations of such wives:
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I have
been married for nine wears and
have boy going to school. My
husband and 7 have quarreled
since the day we married. I
have tried to keep my house
clean. I have done all I can but
1t is no use. My husband is As

drinking. At times have come
home drunk. That caused more
trouble. I like this man and he
says he loves me too. He knows

Should I give him up?
SILVIA"
Most people reading your let
ter would say it was either a
fake or that you we're little
balmy. I know many women of
your type, but not, perhaps,
with your simplicity. I know
that you really are a helpless
sort that doesn't know what to
do. The selfish part of you
justifies the man and the
drink because you weren't
happy being just a wife and
mother.
In your simple way you found
entertainment and just took it.
It did break up the monotony,
didn't it? But somehow you
were never free. There was fear
and disgust in your heart, be-
cause you betrayed your woman
hood, wasn't there? So you went
further and further in your
search for fun. Only you always
went in the wrong direction.
Did You
Expect Happiness?
Did it ever occur to you that
you could have had more peace
and happiness if you looked for
it in the right direction? Did
you try to stop quarreling with
your husband, try to interest
yourself in the boy and your
home, instead of the foolish
man?

Serving
Red Currdnts

Fresh fruit is always nice and
refreshing in the summer when
served in its ordinary state,
frozen or in jellies. A pretty
way to arrange currantS is to
fill the center of a glass dish
with crushed ice and taStefully
arrange fresh currant leaves
around the ice and center, max
ing a very pretty bed on which
to place the currantS. Each
guest at the table should be
provided with a little powdered
sugar in which to dip the cur.
rants before eating from the
stem. Another nice way is to
dip each single stem with cur
rants in the white of an egg
and then in powdered sugar.
Then lay them on a clean nap.

fine greens. Put a small pine.

range apples, peac hes and
oranges carefully; save the
smaller and finer fruits for
later. Keep on building up with
pears, plumS and bananas. Put
a few green leaves between the
fruit here and there. At last,

Of girls-read the following letter.
The Washington times., 1938-07-04

It's an unconscious sermon
written by a sophomore on how
the gentle art of sneaking
affects her. I've had dozens of
similar letters from other girls
of her age. And it seems high
time for mothers, grandmothers,
aunts, ETC., to understand fully
the dangers of too rigid disci-
pline.
Suffers
Restriction
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il am IS years old. I have
counted out of my class at high
school how many girls go out
with boys, and only three out
of 35 do not go out with them.
Ours is a sophomore class. These
80 girls pet when they go out,
too.
II am only allowed to stay out
till 8 o'clock at night. When
I'm not allowed to go out and
have a date, I sneak out. I hate
to do this, because I feel mean
and don't enjoy myself when
I sneak. But all my girl friends
are allowed to stay out until
1890 p. M, and why should I
put up with such unfair treat
ment as being home by 8?
IT wish mothers would under
stand things and talk to us girls
about our boy friends. instead
of being so 'shut-mouther', and
let us ask boys to our homes.
If a boy invites me to go to a
show. my mother refuses to let
me go. This makes me feel re-
lellious and I sneak out.
Put Us
On Honor
"Why can't our mothers give
us more freedom, put us on our
honor, and we wouldn't have to
sneak. MY experience has been
that the girls who don't know
nothing about human nature,
and have to sneak out, are the
ones who get into trouble. That
happens, too. But if our
mothers would only trust us
talk to US, and understand us
we wouldn't do anything wrong

 An instructor said, Frankly. you had better go out and get married" :" so SHE WED
 THE THEATER
 So she went out and got a job on the stage. An aunt, Shelah Richards, was a leading lady at the Abbey Theater, so Miss Fitzgerald tried the Gage Theater. For two years she took any role that came along.
 Finally a British movie scout came along and offered her con- tract. Her first picture, Turn of the Tide" made her 8 star. Her second, Mill on the Floss" brought an offer to appear in Shaw's Heart break House" on Broadway.
 Up to this point in her narrative, the small, dark Irish girl had smok- ed four cigarets. We were sitting in the Warner cafe, and she toyed with bowl of mushroof soup. AL ready lean, she is loyally starving herself. and hates it.
 "When the play turned out to be a hit," continued Miss Fitzgerald, tapping her fifth cigaret, "Amer- ican picture offers began to come in. But all I had to say to discour- age the. agents was that I wouldn't accept more than 8 six-months' contract. Then Warner Brothers surprised me by agreeing to it"
 Here's where the actress was smart. Instead of rushing right out to Hollywood, she packed her trunks and went home to Ireland. The studio was surprised, not to say dumbfounded. Nobody ever had behaved like that before.
 WAITED UNTIL HOLLYWOOD CALLED
 But Miss Fitzgerald was deter mined not to be idle in Talkietown. Right away she began getting let ters from the studio. "They didn't sound insistent enough" she chuck led. Besides, letter takes quite a while to. get to Ireland, so I judged they weren't exactly in 8 hurry. Finally, though, got ca ble demanding that I report imme- diately."
 She grabbed a ship for New York, paused there day and took train for California. From Los Angeles she rushed to the Burbank studio, was tested, accepted and assigned to Dark Victory"
 With my extra pencil, Miss Fitz- gerald doodled on the tablecloth. Just designs and swirl5 and some thing that looked a little like face. That's all that's left of her art school education. Over her sixth cigaret, she declared that she doesn't like California. True, she hasn't seen mulch of it yet-not the mountains or the ocean or Clark Gable or anything. guessed it was because everything is so scar and brown at this time of year-not like Ireland. Or maybe she wants leprechauntS.
