Bustle Dress Is
Fashion Message

And now it's the hustle dress that
takes a bow at the dawn of this new
season. Yes, we'll admit that the
very mention of "bustle dress" car
ries a feeling that fashion is making
an amusing and eccentric gesture.
But the new hustle dresses are not
that kind at all. The subtlety with
which designers are achieving the
new back fullness is to be admired
and commended. Fact is the idea
is being carried out so ingeniously
in cleverly manipulated drapes and
pleatings, you will be converted to
the idea of the hustle dress the very
first one you sight.
One of the interesting interpreta-
tons given to the hustle theme is
the use of a large butterfly bow at
the back which is especially charm
ing on evening frocks made of one
or other of the new stiff silks such
as taffeta, MORE or of that which is
even more stately magnificent bro
cade which is scheduled for autumn
and winter debut.
However, it is the simple little
crepe and sheer wool daytime
dresses that will interest most of us,
their back-fullness treatment stamp
ing them with the note of ''new-
ness" which one so covets in assem-
bling fashionable wardrobe.

Three weeks after she took her seat
on the bench, Judge Jane M. Bolin,
3l-year old Harlem woman, every
much likes her work" and hopes her
appointment as Justice of the Domes-
tic Relations Court will inspire women
to take greater interest in public life.
1t is a pleasure to watch her at
work in the Domestic Relations Court
at l53 E. 57th st., Manhattan. She
speaks with dignity, quietness, modesty
but with quick decision She has plenty
of brains. Neither is she without social
consciousness.
interviewed in chambers, she ex-
pressed praise of President Roosevelts
recent appointments to the bench. II

William 0. Douglas. He was one of
my favorite professors at Yale. One
thing to be sure of, he certainly knows
the law. I think his appointment to
the Supreme Court by President Roose-
welt was excellent" she said She was
very glad that the President had ap-
pointed William H. HASTE, to the
Federal bench in the Virgin Islands.
In school, Judge Bolin said she had
no particular preference in the field of
law. But since she started practicing
in New York City, six years ago, she
has become distinctly interested in
domestic relations. She became a
specialist in this field during her SER
vice in the City Corporation CounsePs
Office.
Judge Bolin is one of Il Justices in
the Domestic Relations Courts. She
is the first coIored judge-to ever sit
on the New York bench in this divi-
sion. She sits in the courts of all five
boroughs, rotating with her fellow
Justices.

Evening Cottons
Hold Popularity
Party Dresses Are Made Up
Entirely of Bingham.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Now that gingham has demon
strated its possibilities from a high
style point of view, there's no end
to the exciting fashions that are be-
ing turned out of this heretofore con-
sidered humble material. Some
times the party dress is made en-
tirely of gingham, with full gypsy
skirt and picturesque bolero jacket
with which is worn a delectable
sheer white lingerie blouse.
Another beloved fashion is the
white crepe dress with jacket the
revers of which are lined with gay
Bingham, an evening bag of match
ing Bingham added and most likely
a Bingham belt or tie girdle.
Dresses simply made of white
waffle pique are also excellent style.
For high quality fashion, women are
turning to frocks of finest batiste
that are exquisitely detailed with
dainty lace, hand embroideries and
masses of wee tuckings. .
Powered CLIQUE organizes and
lovely dotted swisses are frequently
finished with beading through which
tiny ribbon is run as in days long
before the time of this generation.
The ribbon-drawn beading idea is
also emphasized in new collar and
cuff sets of eyelet embroidery.
These are stunning with the now-so-
fashionable dark daytime sheers.

An ideal tubster is the cunning

modern safe-for-washing print, the

square that has peasant figurines
dancing around the wide border

In choosing the new bright cottons
we can't urge mothers too strongly
to stop, look and be cautious before
they buy. Look at the label whether
it be an alI-ready-to-wear garment
you are selecting for Junior or little
sister or a washable fabric by the

of non-shrinkage and no-fade on the
fabrics.

BEAUTY and ROMANCE

the lighting is proper, neither too
little nor too much. Too bright light
IS just as hard on the eyes as too little.
When going out in the glaring sun of
summer, protect your eyes either with
Wlde-brimmed hat, sun shade or
dark glasses. Squirting against the
sun causes little lines around the ewes
which detract from their beauty.
Ii you use your eyes a great deal
during the day, a good way to make
them feel rested and look brighter is
to dip a pad of cotton in cold skin
tonic and place it across the eyes for
a few minutes while you rest. This
trick is a great boon to working girls
who come home feeling and looking
tired and ragged and still want to look
their best for big evening.
Lines Around Eyes
The setting of your eyes is import
ant to their beauty. If you have dark
circles, deeply-etched lines or puffs
around your eyes, you will look tired
and listless. And this, too, is a matter
of general health. Too little sleep and
too much gayety contribute to that
weary look.
The delicate skin around your ewes
deserves special attention. Every
time you laugh, smile, frown or squint,
little lines appear around the eyes and
if your skin is dry these lines become
deeply etched. A heavy cream
smoothed in this area at night will
keep the skin fabricated and discour-
age the lines. Care should be taken
not to rub the skin roughly, however,
because it is easily stretched, causing
more lines.
1t is really more simple than you
would think. Get plenty of sleep,
avoid eyestrain, and use a rich cream
around your eyes at night if you would
be bright-eyed girl with that good
old "come-hither" look.

Dear Friend: I have a girl friend
whose happiness means a great deal to
me and recently because of her appar-
ent unhappiness I asked if I could
help. 1t seems that about a year ago
she met very fine young man and
they have fallen very deeply in love-
However, INSCRIPTIONS and vicious
minded individuals are seeking to de-
stroy this beautiful friendship by vari-
Gus underhanded methods and lies
about the young man. Always open
minded, in accepting this young mans
friendship, she considered only his
treatment of her and his conduct since
they met, disregarding whatever went
before in his life. Now, she hasn't
lost faith in him in spite of the SANDER
but realizes these individuals are actu-
ated only by selfish motives. Please
advise what course the couple should
pursue to retain their happiness and
stop the malicious gossip.-Peggie's
Friend.
Dear Peggy's Friend: Deliberate
gossip automatically ceases when it
realizes that its end can never be ach-
ieved because Of the love and faith that
the two individuals gossipped about
have in each other.
If YOU recall any like incidents. YOU
will find that one or the other of the
parties IS always ready to believe the
gossip. But when one plants a seed,
it must fall in fertile ground to grow.
1t Is the same with seed of gossip.
Now, these friends of yours have only
to show that their love and faith is so
strong that it encompasses them in a
world of their own which the malicious
gosslppers can never enter.
Dear Peggy's Friend, tell her from
this day forth to ask those tale-bearers
rs their own house so clean that they
can criticize someone else's?" People
have habit of setting a standard for
the world but modify that standard
for themselves. They have also form
ed the habit of trying to regulate the
hives OF people they are interested in,
whether their motives be worthy or
selfish. In the case of a worthy motive
one can find an excuse but there is no
excuse for the selfish motive. [ should
like to hear from you again as to the
outcome.

Nv thoughts return to me in kind;
Some, like the timid leaves of Fall,
Break in tiny ripples on my mind;
Others, brash and coarse, pound
against my wall.
Like muted trumpeters
OF q gay, carnival spree,
Others press as feathers on tympani
Ending with cymbal crashes of com

That never fill me with repletion.
Like boomerangs, around they go
These thoughts of hate that fill me
Until ! find that l receive back
A harder blow than left me track.
