A N UP-TO-DATE wardrobe with
out a chic new suit? 1t just
isn't being done nowadays. All
fashiondom has gone wildly, deliri-
ously suit-mad this spring-which is
your cue as to what to wear" at
this immediate moment.
The fact that fashion is in a mood
to suit you as you have never been
suited before should count lot in
your planning this spring. The
thing that plays big in the glorifca-
ton Of the new suits is the superbIy
colorful and intriguingly textured
wool fabrics that challenge design
ers to turn out a pageantry of suits
that in the matter of variety and
chic and charm outrivals all pre-
vious shoWings so far as we of the
present generation are concerned.
The new tweeds are captivating,
especially the soft coarse meshy
kind that are so erninently patrician
in their now-so-stylish neutral oat-
meal tones, and in the smart honey
beige or in subtle grays that so
appeal to discriminating taste.
Some of these natural toned tweeds
are flecked with multi-color which
makes them even more alluring. It's
a stroke of genius to buy a new
threesome ensemble which includes
a skirt, jacket and long topcoat for
this many-piece interchangeable
combination, together with a collec-
ton of blouses, measures up to
clothes requirements for almost any
daytime event. Then, too, later on
the coat can be worn as a wrap
over dainty summer frocks.
We are illustrating just such
threesome (see the figure seated).
This outfit is beautifully tailored of
an imported tweed in soft heather
mixture 1t has straight skirt and
unusual shoulder detail. The Shout
ders and lapels of the topcoat dupli-
cate those of the suit. The suit
jacket is one button type. The
sailor hat is in a deep purple yelled
to bespeak the femininity of the
present mode.

SusDiratiOn
By T. BOLDEN STEWARD
All heart could we do with swift JOY
As Time does with this dropping
year
Wear it until its charms are past,
Then toss it off without a fear,
Forgetful of its seasons bloom,
Unmindful of its light perfume,
Nor shrink its after pain-alloy;
Or could we as the year departs
Find fresher hopes and truer hearts
As Time finds each new flower year
Could we but drop this waning toy
Of Time with its dead charms that cloy
And drag us back in Hopes despair
Through Life's stark forest where the
blast
Of changing hate and blighting care
Has snapped the threads of Loves fair
loom
Or twisted them in tangled ways;
All heart were there no cost to Joy,
Were there no wage for him that plays,
Life's skies which now so overcast
So like these sad days dropping
year
Would be for us or fair or clear.

as the most popular perfume in
India. We think we are ultra
modern with our fire-engine red finger
nails but red nails have been the fash
ion in the Orient for thousands of
years. The oriental women use henna
for both their fingernails and toenails.
(There a woman is practically nude
If her nails are unpainted.) Henna
makes nails a deep red and will not
come off unless it wears off. There
fore it is an art to apply it evenly so
1t will not wear off in streaks. I
could continue telling you more and
more about the customs of the women
of lndia-and perhaps l will in some
future column. Oh, yes, the women
always have a separate section in the
house called the "Zenana" where the
men are not allowed to enter. Here
they prepare their cosmetics and here
they keep their beauty treatments out
of sight. CHATS good tip for US, too) .
The women of India are known
throughout the world for their CLAM
our; their graceful hands; their glist-
ening hair; their gentle voices; and
their undefinable perfume. But as you
see, all their loneliness didn't merely
happen. Of course, they have thou
sands of years of experience and wis
dom behind them; but even so when
we can run down to the corner drug
store and get practically any cosmetic
aid we need just like that there
really is no reason that we should not
be as lovely as the women of India,
do you think?

AS to the new plaids, stripes and
checks they play havoc with any
tradition that a suit or coat is sup
posed to be modest and conserva-
tive.
Suits of checked, striped or plaid
ed woolens have revolutionized the
mode in that they are a far de-
parture from the classic navy or
black monotones of yore. The fact
that the plaid skirts are pleated also
gives them the spring "look." See
the nifty plaid suit to the right in
the illustration. 1t typifies the new
trend perfectly. 1t is of imported
tweed in soft yellow with crossbar
of brown (smart color combination
this season.. The pleated skirt
stamps this suit with unmistakable
chic. The pleats are stitched down
around the hips for smooth slender
izing line. The single-breasted jack
ct observes every rule of the game
in matter of sWank detail. Brown
suede sports hat with a wide scoop
brlm and brown alligator bag be-
speak utmost chic.
AS to the fetching little dressmak-
er jacket suit it is with us in such
numbers it would take an alert mind
to keep tally of the number that
pass given moment at a given
point, for the jacket suit is omni-
present in the style parade. The
new jacket twosomes play up color
combinations in amazing variations.
Black wool crepe for the skirt
topped with jacket in pale yellow
with black piping describes the
goodlooking model centered in the
group. New details are the softly
rolled collar, high pockets and out
side tucks around the waist. A wide
brimmed Breton sailor with a quill
across the crown is jaunty and very
flattering to the wearer.

Wells dnd Yelling
Are Omnipresent

Wells and yelling are that omni-
present in the millinery mode the
eyes have to sight through yards and
yards of yelling to discover the hat
itself. To radiate the spirit of spring
try tying bright green veil over
your new black or navy straw. Green
wells are the ''last word in chic"
It's the proper thing to match the
color of your veil to your gloves and
other accessories. You will like the
new hats made all of yelling. They
are appealingly feminine and in
their exquisite colorings they tune
to spring most charmingly. The all
yelling hat (most often a little
sailor) is made of twisted strands of
the yelling or layer upon layer. To
add allure there are long streamer
ends of the yelling to tie and twirl
with provocative grace.

:. !. :
Dear Friend: My husband is going
to leave me and take the baby with
him because | made a mistake. | am
desperate and don't know what to do
or which way to turn. | am to blame
but have learned my lesson. My
husband works nights and doesn't get
home until 5 am. On his days off he
is usually too tired to go anywhere
and for the past six months | have
been rebelling over not having any
fun or being able to go anywhere like
my other friends. About a week ago
a girl friend encouraged me to go on
party with her and as | thought |
would be back home at one, | went.
But at one o'clock l was in Jail. The
party got boisterous and | was urging
my friend to leave when the place
was raided. had to call my husbands
work place to get him to bail me out
and you can imagine the rest. l feel,
however, that as this was the first
time | ever did wrong or used poor
Judgment, he should give me another
chance. Is there anything I can say
or do to change his decision ?-Peni-
tent Marie.
Dear Penitent Marie: I only hope
that other wives with the same prob
lem of husband who works nights
will profit by your unhappy expert
ence. Your husband is filled at pres
ent with righteous anger and probably
has lost faith in you. But since this
is your first misdemeanor, l hope for
your sake that you will have a past
so full of good points that they will
overshadow this one bad one. | hope,
too, that your husband is a fair
minded man and realizes that, human
nature being what it is, we are all apt
to err at one time or another. You
resented not having any fun, but your
one evening of fun has the aspects of
costing you very dear price. You
know your husband much better than
l, OF course, and great deal will de-
pend on his actions. If you can get
him to give you months probation to
regain that lost confidence the rest
will be up to you. A happy home with
your husband and baby is a response
blllty and the apparent frivolity of
your other friends is an illusion. The
first calls for hard work and happiness
gained through the happiness you
create. The second mode of living is
what the individual makes it seem to
the onlooker. Women like yourself
with husbands, children and a home
have to realize that you can't have
your cake and eat it, too.

BEAUTY TIPS FROM THE ORIENT
49,. Last week read such an inter
estmg article on beauty culture in
India that l can't resist telling YOU
about few of the interesting facts it
revealed. Here in the States we can
buy the finest beauty aids of all kinds
even In the dime stores-yet MANY
OF us claim we haven't time to apply
cold creams, to massage our cuticle
ana the other innumerable beauty
tIteS' But, suppose you lived in India
where the women make all their cos
metlcs? There, shampoo grows on
trees and nail polish on bushes and
every woman must know how to mix
hel own perfume, how to mix depila-
tories, eye-shadows and other cosme
ties, Indian women not only remove
haIr from their under arms but from
all other parts Of the body. Every
woman, rich and poor, is trained in
the art Of mixing depilatories. Indian
oepllatorles are harmless to the skin,
nave no dlsagreeable odor but they are
so strong that they remove the hair
entirely. 1t is spread on like soap
and washed off with water and leaves
a satiny skin instead of a stubble. -.
Inc women of India would never
dream Of using ordinary soap on their
haIr! They use the soapnut, a round
ball about the size of a walnut but
not hard; The shampoo is prepared
by grinding the nuts into powder
although better suds are obtained
when the nuts are soaked overnight.
Cocoanut oil is the foundation scent
used by Indian women; it has a natu-
raj sweet scent but each woman has
her own individual hair scent which
she obtains by extracting the scent
from her favorite flowers and mixing

Blouse Qnd Skirt
Costumes Popular
Cause Furore This Spring
In Style Circles.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

There is no current fashion that
IS receiving so much attention as
that of the new blouse and skirt
costumes. The lingerie blouse and
short skirt stands out as the big
favorite for daytime wear, and for
evening the fioor-length yards-and-
yards-wide skirt, often plaided or
striped in gypsy fashion, is topped
with an eye-thrilling shirtwaist or
blouse, preferably of the lingerie
lace and befrilled baby" type.
Volumes could be written on the
theme of the new shirtwaists and
blouse types and then the half would
not be told of this style movement
which is taking the world of fash
ion by storm this spring.
The muchly-talked-of frilly, sheer
blouse has brought back a revival
OF the daintily be-trimmed CANT
sole. However, the modern versions
have costume slip and camisole top
in one-a great improvement on the
"Way-back-when" camisoles.
It's season of the daintily fem
mime in dress. Snowy frills at the
neck and sleeves of the dark day.
time frocks and cunning lace de-
tails that feminine in the good-old-
fashioned, now new-fashioned way.
To carry on in the right feminine
spirit your new straw hat must be
trimmed with lingerie touches and
lace accents that correspond to the
dainty touches on dress or blouse.
Ask your milliner. She knows.

Redingote Outfits
Are SlenderizinU

In the midst of all the frou frou
and Swing" and flutter of the new
dress types it is a relief to turn to
the slender-of-line, straight redin-
cote types that are more effective
in reducing hips than diet or exer-
else. These high-style types are
made up in the trimmest, neatest
lines possible and they are detailed
to a nicely in strictest simplicity.
The navy or black tailored redin-
gotes top bright prints or in some
instances of the same material as
the coat itself. Very new and ultra
is the slim, straight, buttoned-up-
front redingote made of the identi-
cal print of the dress with which it
is worn.

More and more well-dressed wom-
en- are coming to appreciate the
role pretty "hankies" must play in
giving a dash of color to the cos
tune. Fluttering in the limelight
of fashion are many lovely floral
types such as here shown. AS de-
signed by Burned, the "hanky" at
the top silhouettes giant pansies of
dawn blue and cyclamen against a
white background, forming an entic-
ing border for the timer pansies and
buds gaily spread throughout the

complete the color study. For the
other dainty handkerchief the same
designer garlands refreshing bios

Public Golf Courses

At the conclusion of a series of
articles on private operation under
contract of the city's public golf
courses, The Star invited Mr.. S. G..
Leoffler, president of the operating
company, to submit a statement out
lining his side of the matter. Mr..
Leoff1er's letter is printed in another
column on this page today. The Star
does not agree that the articles con-
stituted a distorted or untrue picture
of the operation of the golf courses,
but does accept Mr.. Leoffler's state
ment that 100000, suggested by the
articles as possible net profits of the
operating company, was an exag-
gerated estimate based on a faulty
Interpretation Of items. It would be
helpful If all figures relating to earn
ings, salaries, dividends, ETC., in
volved in the operation under con-
tract of the public courses, were
available for public inspection.
The purpose of the articles was to
raise the question why it was neces-
sary or advisable in the public inter-
est to lease the operation of the
public golf courses to private COM
pany, instead of ploughing back into
the improvement Of the courses and
other concessions the funds paid by
the public for their enjoyment. Mr..

Famous Song.
To the Editor of The Star:
The music of the song Garry Me
Back to Ole Virginny" was written by
John Abby, who was born in Rock
vile, Md. He had sweet tenor voice.
When young man he was engaged in
business in Washington, D. c., where he
was member of a male quartet that
sang his compositions at the dedicatory
services of churches and upon other
public occasions. They assisted at the
dedication of the brick Presbyterian
Church In Rockville, of which his nearest
relatives were members. The building
was removed when the new courthouse
was built.
Mr.. Abby was talented, refined and
modest and did not seek notoriety, but
contributed to the Joy and happiness
of others. He was well-known mer-
chant of Staunton, Va, and while on a
business trip in Baltimore he read the
poem Garry Me Back to Ole Virginny'
in newspaper Being impressed by its
truth, not tradition.
