Y. P. S. L. Sponsors
Attractive Movie

The Young Peoples Service Lea
que of Holy InnOcents Episcopal
church is sponsoring a picture ''The
Underpup" at the Stevenson Theatre
Thursday and Friday. This picture
stars Gloria Jean, "Deanna Durbin
II.
One of the latest discoveries in the
movie world, she possesses one OF
the finest voices ever heard on the
screen or on radio. Her amazing like
ness to Deanna has often misrepre-
sented her as being Deanna's younger
sister.
Also starred with Gloria Jean are
Nan Grey and Robert Cummings.
This picture is rated by critics as
being one of the best Of the year.
Proceeds will be used by the SER
vice league for pledge to the Bishop
for aid in the Diocese. The Young
Peoples Service League in Hender-
son has the distinction of being the
most efficient league in the diocese,
so it is hoped that the league will be
very successful in its sponsorship OF
the picture.

"Build-Up": Way to
Ease Women's Pain

Many weak, rundown women
a1e in vicious circle. Their under
nourishment often leads to what is
called functional dysmenorrhea and
its symptoms = headaches, 1erv-
BUSINESS, irritability, intermittent
cramp-like pains from which
many women suffer. Surest way to
break the vicious circle is by build
ing strength and energy, which SO
many find may be done with the
help of CARDUI. 1t stimulates ap-
petite, aids digestion, and thus helps
in this "build-up" of physical re-
sistance. Women also report that,
if taken just before and during "the
time, CARDUI lessons the pain
and discomfort of the period. adv.

Fashion
Displays Are
Given Here
Four Shows Offer
Different Types
Of Costumes
re beautifully apparent.
By HELEN VOGT.

While we weren't looking. some
body must have declared last week
unofficial style Show Week" At
least judging from the number of
displays-four in all-this would
seem to be the case.
At this point. the pretty heads of
Washington women should be buz-
zing with fashion ideas offered by
local shops and, fortunately. all the
shows chose to feature something
different.
Number one was an afternoon af-
fair at the Hour Glass cocktail
lounge. Here the theme was "black
and white" with daytime and eve
ming frocks in that striking combi-
nation. The formal clothes were
particularly outstanding, with their
gypsy" influence and little girl"
notes, and hair ornaments, such as
flshnet turbans trimmed with flow
ers added the perfect finishing touch
tc the outfits.
The second show of the week fea-
tured a combination bridge and
style promenade for the benefit of
Garfield Hospital. While Mrs. Giddy
cheerfully trumped her partners
ace, the models made them both for
get contract in the joy of smart
spring and summer clothes. Most
interesting part of the show was
the shaded wedding" the same one,
by the way, that was recently pre-
sented in a movie fashion short"
The bride and two bridemaids wore
embroidered organza frocks in deli
cate shades Of pink-a novel idea
for a spring ceremony. Held in the
main ballroom of the Raleigh Ho-
tel. the show attracted some 500 in
terested spectators, all of whom
seemed particularly interested in the
suggested summer outfits for travel
ing.
Our regular Saturday fashion
luncheons held the interest of
crowds at the Shoreham and Ho-
tel 2400 Sixteenth Street. These
luncheons have been popular since
the start, and both were so attrac-
tive that one had to shut her ewes
and try to choose between the two.
At the Shoreham lace was the
theme. Imported models designed
by the most famous Partisan cou-
turiers attracted the interest of the
Saturday lunchers, and these models,
which have been made especially
for display all over the country, were
worthy of note. Daytime and eve
ming laces from Chanel, Balenciaga
and others We'd with lace outfits
displayed by a local shop. High
light of this show, too, was the
wedding in lace-one of the loveliest
we've seen. with the bridesmaids
carrying quaint little parasols in
stead of the usual bouquets.
Fourth and final in our review of
the weeks fashion events was a
charming display of sport clothes
at Lounge Riviera. Here a well
known Washington shop, famous for
its casual attire, presented the new
est modes in play suits and other
playtime pretties. What with sum-
mer just around the corner, this
type of show was especially ap-
propriate.
Take look at the attendance
records, and you'll agree that this
Is tash1on-conscious town!

Trim Figure
Down With
Exercise
Daily Calesthenics
Will Remove All
Excess Pounds
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Ever on the lookout for new slim.
ming exercises, am I, and many are
the times I wonder If any of YOU
truly test their efficacy! After all
only you, my dear, can slim and
beautify your figure-so my duty
ceases once I tell you how to 20
about it!
Slimming exercises do more than
just Danish offending pounds. They
tone up the entire body and make
you feel like million dollars.
Always I wonder over why women
think Of exercising as task. When
ever I feel sluggish, bored or a bit
blue I either get out and exercise
IN the open, or get down on the
carpet and go through the same
routine I recommend to you. In
fewer than 10 minutes my body is
showing how grateful it is for the
chance to stretch its taut muscles
and my spirits go up sky high. II
you would think of a 1O-minute
period of exercise as a stimulating
cocktail, it would be no time at all
before you would be taking great
delight in daily calesthenics.

Unfortunate
Youngsters
NeedHelp
Premature Child
Starts His Life
Handicapped
By ANGELO PATRI.

When a child is born months
ahead of time he loses power. He
must because his body was not COM
pletely developed when he arrived.
The loss is usually in proportion to
his before -handedness. The sooner
he came the greater his loss.
While he was on the way he grew
tremendously in proportion to what
he does when he arrives in the
world. He was building organs and
systems of organs that were to
function for a lifetime and that. if
you consider it, is a tremendous
thing to do in so short a time as
nine months. The premature baby's
building time was cut short and
that usually means that some of
the organs and systems of organs
were checked in growth before
completion. In consequence we can
expect that there will be a short
age of power in these organs. The
deficiency varies with the child. No
two are ever quite the same.
This ought to make us wary about
his training and education. We
must 60 very gently, very slowly,
and make sure that we do not put
pressure upon body untitled to
stand up under it. These children
are often slow in learning to walk,
or to talk, or to develop some other
faculties. We have to expect that
and be patient. This child has to
try to make up growth that should
have been his at the start. 1t is
most unjust, unreasonable. to ex-
pect him to keep up with full time
children in school work, social de-
velopment, physical dexterity. He
must have time.
