New Summer
Modes Are
Offered
By HELEN VOGT.

Swinging merrily Into summer
modes, the fashion world is still
proudly displaying their finery via
the excellent medium of style shows.
Last week there were a number of
interesting ones embracing modes
for the coming season, all presented
in the manner for which Washing
ton shops are famous.
Wednesday found us at the cock
tail show at the Hour Glass, where
the most charming evening dresses
were being shown. Under the direc-
ton of Helen Greene Peters. junior
modes were displayed to the ac-
compartment of dialogue done in
the form of charming little story.

Dorothy Dix Says
ItMay Be Ridiculous, but Mother
Can Be Jealous of Her Child

Dear Miss Dix: I have a boy
of 3 who has just about broken up
my home. He is so definitely bad
that I don't know what to do about
him. In the first place, his father
idolizes him so much that it makes
me miserable watching him make a
fuss over that youngster to the detri-
ment of the other children. The
child breaks, smashes and destroys
everything I have, and when I cor
rect him his father interferes. And
when I try to punish him his father
takes his part. This is making me
nervous wreck. What shall I do
with the youngster? What shall I
do about the father?
WORRIED MOTHER.
Answer-The first person to do
something about is yourself. Face
the fact that you are jealous of the
fathers love for the boy. That is
what has got on your nerves and is
causing you to regard the youngster
as brat. You will say that is alb
surd. Ridiculous. A mother can't be
jealous of her own child. She can't
resent her husbands devotion to
one of his own children. She can't
hate her own baby.
But she can. A woman can be as
jealous of her own child as she can
of any glamorous siren. She can
resent her husband paying more at
ter1tion to her child than to herself
and lavishing on it the caresses that

gave us an excellent idea of the
theme for summer
Saturday we lunched at the
Shoreham Blue Room, where four
outstanding Connecticut avenue
shops combined to present a FASH
ion show entirely in cotton. This
was doubly important. not only for
the fact that the modes were strik-
ing in design, but also for the rea-
son that cotton is going to play a
bigger part than ever in your life
this summer.
Tonight one of our local speciality
shops is offering a show at Fort
Meyer for the benefit of the Army
Navy relief fund. Models will be
members of the Army-Navy Soro-
rity, which is sponsoring the show,
and they will wear clothes for every
occasion.
BY the way. one of the well-known
shops which was represented in
Saturdays show at the Shoreham
is having continuous display of
about 200 costumes tomorrow. The
parade will go on all day and should
be we'll worth seeing. If you want
to know who, what and where, call
us at National 5000, extension 1876.
Well be glad to tell you.

This design offers a perfect combi-
nation of prettiness and practically.
It's the kind you like to wear on busy
days. because the unbelted, princess
waistline and deep armholes guaran-
tee comfort for working. And also,
it's just about as becoming a daytime
style as you could choose. The prin-
cess silhouette, you know, simply
melts pounds from your appearance.
The heart-shaped neckline and
high-shouldered sleeves are flatter-

Supervision
OF Child's
Parties
The Possibilities
OF Accidents
Are Great
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Mother, this Saturday is my day
for having the meeting Of the sew
ing club. I don't want to take them
to grandmother's. I'd rather have
them here in our house. Can't I,
mother?"
mo, you cannot. If it were safe
for you to have the run of the house
I would have given you the key
long ago. and saved your grand
mother the care of you You know
that I will be working all day and
that Saturday is my long day. I
couldn't have you and a lot of girls
here alone. Grandmother said you
could have them there. That ought
to satisfy you"
Il don't want to go to grand
mothers. We can't have any fun"
What is it you want to do that
gran would not allow? Don't you
see that you are saying that you
cannot be trusted? Your grand
mother gives you more freedom than
their mothers give your friends. And
that isn't enough. No. You hold
your meeting at grandmother's."
"All the other girls have their
homes for, meetings. I'm the only
one that can't"
Nobody is sorrier than I am for
that, and you know it. Child, don't
you see you are not the only one
concerned here? How about the 10
or u little girls? Suppose they met
with an accident here, what could
I say to their mothers? What could
you Say?"
There won't be any accident"
"You are childish, which is ex-
actly the reason you cannot have
the freedom of the house without
an older person in charge"
IF grandmother came here,
could n"
Would you ask gran, with all she
has to do, to come here when you
could just as we'll go there? Who
would attend to grandfather and
Aunt Emily?"
They could wait until she got
back"
Il didn't think you could be as
selfish as that. Sick old people, and
they can wait for attention until
your party is over"
"She needn't stay all the time.
She can go back early"
You're impossible. Once for all,
you cannot have the key to the
house until you are responsible and
prove it to me and your grand
mother"
That's the only answer to this
situation. The possibilities for
trouble for the child left alone in
house for any length of time are
air-raising. They increase by the
square of the number of playmates.
It simply can't be done.
And how about the older chill
dren who want keys so they may
come and go without disturbing the
family? They are to have their
keys as soon as they show they are
responsible people. Age does not
enter here. Reason and judgment
and common sense are all impor-
tant. Some young people at IS are
more able to manage their own af-
fairs than others of 20 and over.
Responsibility, as shown in be-
havior, is the basis for self-man-
agement. Driving cars, using latch
keys, using charge accounts are

Exercises
For Hips
Spanking Derriere

BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

You know as we'll as I do that,
try as you will to keep slim, extra
pounds seem to stay on your hips
and derriere! OF course, If you
stopped to realize how little actual
corrective exercise or dancing you
do it is not surprising that those
offending pounds stay where they
do. Most of your life is spent sit
ting, isn't it?
Diet, sane one. helps to reduce
your weight. but only concentrated
exercising will definitely slim your
hips and derriere once you have
allowed them to grow heavy. So

and spank that unlovely line away.
Take satisfaction in the fact that
while you are smoothing your hips,
you are at the same time helping
the circulation Of your entire body.
So you will feel fit as fiddle by

she never gets And she can come
to actually hate her own child.
That is what you are doing, and
you will have to conquer this feel
ing in yourself or else you will wreck
the peace and happiness of your
home and ruin your life and the
boys. Children have uncanny intui-
tions, and he will sense how you feel
toward him and an estrangement
will grow up between you that will
keep you apart as long as you live.
OF course. your husband is making
a great mistake in playing favorites.
The children in a family have an
equal right to their fathers and
mothers love and tenderness, and
they resent bitterly the injustice of
one being preferred above the
others. Also. the result of one being
picked out as the fair-haired boy is
virtually always to spoil him and
ruin him. So it is a bad business all
around.
But you will not stop your hus-
band from showing his partiality to
the boy by always picking on the
child. 1t will only make him feel
that he has to protect the lad from
you. AS for the child himself, there
is nothing to worry about. BY your
own showing he is just a normal
youngster. There never was a boy of
3 who wasn't noisy and mischievous
and destructive.

No humping exercise will do you

permits, exercise with the windows

prevent the harmful effects of rain
or sun. But, best of all, it is now
reduced in cost so that all of us
may enjoy an outdoor living room
this summer without having to in
herit legacy to do so.
Experiments with new materials
and designs, study of new fabrics
and finishing processes are all re-
f1ected in the price of outdoor fur
niture. The lovely hand-Wrought
iron type that seems to belong in a
garden atmosphere once cost so
much that most of us gazed afar
and wished for a fairy godmother.
Being practical, we knew that iron
would rust and that it must be
properly and expensively cared for.
SO we chose the more ordinary and
useful furniture. Now, however, sew
eral of the larger manufacturers
are featuring iron furniture with
q rustproof finish that withstands
dampness and rain. Though it Is
not hand-wrought, they offer an
iron table and four chairs, turned
out with great skill and beauty.
With a plate-glass top, the table
Is large enough to serve four at
luncheon. The chairs that go with
this are good in design and most
comfortable. and the five pieces cost
very little more than the ordinary
unpainted wood garden chairs and
table.
Cushions Stress
Durability.
All iron furniture is much more
comfortable when equipped with
pads or cushions. These are made
of sunproof, rainproof materials
and tie on. Though they are not
damaged by occasional showers or
strong sun, they will remain IN
better condition if taken in at night,
brushed and replaced in the morn
ing.
Dust and dirt which settles on
iron furniture may be scrubbed on
with soap and water about once
week, and Soiled cushions may be
given dry cleaning with cleaning
fluid or scrubbed with mild soap
suds and brush and wiped dry.
Wicker, fiber. rattan, Chinese peel
and bamboo are all used in new
ways. Several sticks OF bamboo
bound with wicker bands make a
sturdy, solid chair or table without
great weight. Some of these have
removable glass tray tops; others
have a composition which looks
like celluloid and is resistant to
marks of all kinds. The latter
comes in natural wood finishes or
delightful colors.
One nest of seven tables is a
masterpiece. The frames are of

This Splendid Sum

Ben Dubois, chairman of the
Ball committee, report
ed Wednesday morning that this
event to raise money for the care
of infantile paralysis victims at
Warm Springs, Georgia, and for
the Shriner's Hospital, Minneapolis,
had been very successful.
Total receipts from the dance
amounted to $4,000, and as the
gross receipts are the net, that
amount will be divided between the
above mentioned organizations.
The committee wishes to thank
Supt. w. A. Kohl and the members
of his orchestra for their services,
the school board for the use Of the
auditorium, and the Herald for
tickets and bills, all of which were
rendered gratis. They also wish
to convey their thanks to the
Black Cats and school students for
their work on ticket sales, and to
the citizens in general for their
generosity in providing funds for
this worthwhile work. The COM
mittee Is elated with the successful
