Every child who loves pussies (and what little one does not?), will be thrilled with this Claire Tilden outfit. The contrast ing bib of the sunsuit is the big, smiling face of friendly cat = complete even to whiskers.

distance from that point to the hem. There is a right skirt length for every girl. Find yours and stick to it.
 Contrary to popular belief, extra high heels only emphasize the thick ness of thick ankles. If your ankles are not trim and slender, admit 1t to yourself and pick a heel height that is really right.
 "A feeling for color harmony is a marked blind spot in many of us, '' Miss Blaine continued. "The result is that we often wear shades which do the wrong things for us. For in- stance, unless her own coloring is warm and lively, I don't think the average girl is flattered by black, unrelieved by white or bright trim ming"

it's an economy to have twin skirts one black, one white-and do a little swapping of blouses.
 Edith Head, Paramount design CT, has made variations of the con- vertible-top outfit for the person. al wardrobes of Dorothy Lamolir, Gail Patrick and Irene Dunne Dark-haired Miss Lamour's fav- orite is a crew-necked Sweatshirt of double chiffon, maganeta colored, Solidly embroidered i'll small gold beats in flower design, and top ped with mannish muffler of the plain material Another topper which she wears with white skirt, is a lumberjack blouse, deeply open It the throat, of white crepe em- broidered in big lattice-work pat tern in silver and belted with a broad band of silver braid.
 One of Gail Patrick's evening" sports toppers is jumper of plain red silk jersey. A printed silk, cut in lumberjack style, is for less form al occasions than her sweater of solid silver beads. It looks as if it were handknit but actually was made on beading frame.
 HOLLYWOOD DOESN'T DRESS FOR DINNER VERY OFTEN
 Beside teh jewel-encrusted crepe jacket that Miss Head designed for her, Irene Dunne likes a Bernard Newman dinner dress of gray and mustard crepe with short gray jacket. Beads and obviously glass jewels are newer than sequins or paillettes, and practically no metal cloth is seen.
 These dinner dresses, of course, are worn only to the snootiest places and to home dinner par ties, partly because the jackets are elaborate, partly because the skirts are floor length. Holly wood doesn't do much dressing for dinner after tough day in front of the camera.
 Movietown also breaks thet rule of hats for public dining. Made leine Carroll, who keeps her high style clothes Tor Paris jaunts, was seen the other night at teh Derby House wearing a short-skirted black crepe dress and no hat-just a bright paisley print kerchief over her blond hair.

TEMPERANCE IS TEMPERANCE

TEMPERANCE IS TEMPERANCE
 Temperance, says Noah Webster, means moderation in, or sometimes narrowly, abstinence from, the use of intoxicants.
 Temperance, says or Doc Brady is one of the seven keys to vite- and mean precisely what Webster defines as temperance. In fact believe practical temperance today makes it imperative that one be a total abstainer until the age of twen- ty-five years, and in this belief urge all good parents to exact from their children at an early age-not later than ten of twelve yearS-a solemn pledge that they will not use alcohol or tobacco in any form until they are fully grown up. Moreover I urge parents to ask the child to renew this pledge annually upon a suitable anniversary.
 After a child has reached full adult development presumably his character will have become strong enough to guide him for the rest of the course. It is the most pitiful situation imaginable when a parent has to worry, or, if he dares, plead with and adolescent child about drinking and its effects. Pitiful not only for the f1outing of that ten derness which makes such affection so precious in life but also because of the remorse the parent must feel for his failure in duty to the erring child-I mean the duty of pledging the child against alcohol and tobacco.
 In an article in this column re- gently on "Ravagers of Youth (alcohol and tobacco) I warned parents that every concession made to the night club atmosphere in the schoolroom (burlesque attire and makeup, cigarettes, cocktails, fiasks) robs the child of his or her chance of normal development. But I tried to indicate that my attitude is rational by saying that of alcohol as much as can be oxidized or burned in the average .metabolism for most vrabbed, cantankerous, peecish, gloomy, hard-to-live-with old people.

As a Princeton undergraduate Mr. Clark, like many of his classmates, made extra-curricular study of New York debs.
 Later, when he finished school and went to work, he compared those debs with the girls he met in bus mess.

FANCIFUL FRIENDS"
 THINK CHILD IS TOPS

Children make up playmates- sometimes animals. The bunny that isn't there, takes on human qualities. He is a very nice bunny and understands our Tommy.
 Maybe the bunny" doesn't do one thing himself, but is very receptive and quiet, so Tommy can practice his virtues on him.
 Furthermore, the bunny has nc bothersome opinions of his own. But one thing he does do, and that is to think his host is tops. Oh. yes this brain child always admires his creator.
 The little girl often chooses a "Lady" to play with. This lady rep resents the whole adult world that reminds, manages, criticizes and of ten misunderstands. But not "Mrs Jones'" She is as impersonal at the bunny.

 ''Her inability to see herself as others see her is the reason many a woman just misses being chic. l think the best step for any girl who is determined to improve her ap- pearance is to try to figure out what her blind spot iS."
 That's Joan Blaine speaking. And Miss Blaine is considered one of the most smartly turned out radio stars today.
 Do you let saleswomen whip you into seasonal extremes in clothes, no matter what they do to your, figure? If you do, that's your blind spot. Eliminate it as quickly as possible. !" BE SUPER-CRITICAL

 Miss Blaine,s advice is to con- slider a dress absolutely mercilessly before you buy it. Ask yourself if the lines emphasize the good points of your figure and conceal less at tractive ones. Look at the shoulder line, the length of the waist from shoulders to belt, the proportionate

DREAM PALS
 DEFEAT HIS FOES"

The kind of dream pals the child has will be consistent with his need and his nature. The boy may want 8 more stirring companion. So he makes up an elephant, because he wants something bigger than his parents, bigger than the people al- ways telling him to do things. But like all dream children, the elephant will disappear without leaving a trace.
 They serve their purpose, these make-ups, and then walk of, never to return.

 But temperance is temperance and my idea of sane temperance is pre- cisely as indicated.
