gave thrilling basketball per-
formances. They stamped
themselves as leading con-

Chilla's, led by the arch veteran,
Ed Grant, took an early lead. And
well they did for the Freighters

throughout the balance of the tilt.
The Florists superior physical
trim probably was the main factor
in their victory over the star

the latter staged a final-quarter

waister may have a diagonally striped or plain blouse. Many a more formal gown is done in striped material. Shephard checks as well as plaids are headlined, too.
 The nightshirt dress, cut some- what like the olf-fashioned garment after which it is named, with long sleeves, high neck and fullness gathered in at the waistline by a wide belt, is new. In street lengths, this silhouette is labelled "the mon- astic."
 If you are young and slender, bouffant gowns of lovely sheers, crisp materials like organdy and eyelet batiste or tissue taffeta will be flattering. The prettiest ones have snug bodices with fullness starting at the waistline, and puff sleeves with low decolletages belying the demurely modest effect achieved by the sleeves.
 For the mature figure, fullness should start from just below the hipline rather than from waistline.
 Dropped shoulder lines may be more becoming than puffed sleeves. For the budget-minded the gown with matching jacket still is a wonderful choice.
 Femininity prevails as it does throughout daytime collections. Flattering, figure-molding lines, soft bands of shirring, ruffles and lin- gerie touches for trimming are im- portant. Even semi-formal shirt waisters are feminine and flatter- ing rather than severely tailored. as the shirtwaist dresses is widely used, and so is chiffon-both pretty and fragile and feminine.

necessary Pasteur treatment. This is not my motion or belief but the teaching of the recognized health authorities.
 It Should Be a Regular Nip
 Three or four years ago got the impression that the iodine diet con- sisted of one drop day for two months, then skip month, and so on, and have taken it that way ever since. Have noticed only good ef- fleets, but now see you say take it one month and skip two. GA. T)
 Answer-You had it nearly enough suggest one drop of tincture of iodine in a glassfull of water once daily in each third month-say a drop day thru April, July, October and January. Or similar schedules, as given in the monograph on the Iodin Ration, which will be mailed on request if you provide a three cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. No clipping will suffice.
 Corn Remedy
 Recipe for corn collodion: Apply to corn, callus or wart every night for a week or ten days a solution of thirty grains of salicylic acid in one- half ounce of flexible collodion. Most good druggists have this standard formula ready prepared under the name of Corn Collodion" or Com pound Salicylic Collodion."

out pennies and doesn't tell when the jam in the pantry shows the sticky marks of some small vandal.
 Let us forgive her and be grate- full for her. She raised one family by conscience. She finds now that she can stretch conscience occasion ally with justification.
 It never pays to say, Be a good little boy and I'll give you nickel for soon the child will have to be bought every time he behaves. Grandma knows all this, surely. She doesn't go that far.
 When it becomes 8 case of tit- for-tat, the whole subject of little concessions is lost. Her idea is more to give the little boy or girl sense of fulfillment. They are more like- ly to Cooperate in the harder rou- tine of daily affairs if this inner hunger for small possessions and natural little gratis is wholesomely satisfied, at least part of the time. Mother may not see it that way.
 Preserve Balance
 You are thinking at this mo- ment, possibly, that the humored child is the least cooperative creature in the world; that his demands become unreasonable and he won't play ball. But that only happens when the balance is lost and ''humoring" becomes over-humoring, and "coddling" be- comes over-coddling.
 Another thing that you have a perfect right to refute is my in- timating that mothers are strict and grandmothers regular sofa cushions. Often it is the other way around. When Grandma thinks that Johnny is being spoiled, she herself may turn strict.
 And now a line to Grandma her self. Johnny is his mothers son. It is easy to overstep ourselves" (for I, too, am Grandma). We have a place, to be sure, but it is never be- tween mother and child.

 Femininity is the keynote ot beauty as well as fashion this spring.
 The incest cultures are soft and flattering smart in pretty rather than in a severe way. The newest shades of makeup are designed to give your skin 8 delicately tinted, Dresden china look.
 It's chic to have a diminutive waistline.
 It's a season of soft, perfectly modulated voices. (You'd be sur- prised at the number of women who are taking voice and speech lessons and taking them seriously0 Cuss words and -slangy expressions are as old hat as the flapper. Nobody thinks it smart to be rude. Good carriage has replaced the debutante slouch of the early 1930's.
 You're expected to know how to entertain graciously and to know what to wear if good friend asks you to pour at her tea. You aren't coldly formal (cold formality seldom is heart-warmingly gracious), but invitations to your house aren't so casual as to be faintly unflatter- ing.
 Day in and day out, you're per- fectly groomed from head to foot. If you have oily hair, you wash it every six days instead of every seven. You change your nail poll ish at least once between weekly manicures. You use your depila- ory and anti-perspirant prepara- tions with special consciousness. You take time t learn how to apply perfume subtly. and cosmetics flawlessly.
 Your white collars and cuffs and gloves always are meticulously white. If you have to look care- fully at a blouse to see whether it's clean enough to wear again, you decide 1t isn't. You brush your hats as well as your shoes.
 In other words, you look, act, walk and talk like a little lady. Whats more, you enjoy it. You're in tune with the mood of spring, 1889.

 Long, full-skirted shirtwaist dress es for little evenings and feminine, frothy, less casual but still pretty modest gowns for important post Easter balls are the brightest stars in spring collections of clothes for after seven.
 For buffet suppers, dining at home or dining out with a few friends, dancing at the local inn on shipboard (except at the night of the captains dinner) and for similar occasions, the floor length shirt waister is vertiable uniform.
 It comes in all fabrics from sleek silk jersey and tissue thin chiffon wood to lace, and almost invariably has long, rather fullish sleeves, a swirling hemline and a simple w. neckline.
 if your neck is long and thin so that V-necks aren't particularly flattering, look for a shirtwaister with round neckline with or with out a plain little collar.
 If you are tall, tri-color dinner shirtwaister are sure to be flattering. One of the incest includes a black six jersey skirt, white blouse or matching fabric and a scarlet sash.
 Another consists of gray and black striped silk skirt, danger red blouse and a white sash. Incidentally, knitted cardidgans in subtle colors with floor-length skirts are smart for semi-formal evenings.
