Household Hints
If You Would Be Stylish, Says Hollywood Designer---ANALYZE YOUR OWN TYPE
BY MARION YOUNG


 NEA Service Staff Correspondent.
 Hollywood, Cal.-"Show me a dowdy woman and the chances are g out of 10 that I'll be able to show you one who invariably buys a dress because this color is so good this season or these lines are new, you know or simply because it looks well on the model or the woman in the next dressing room."
 That's Howard Shoup, impor- tant Hollywood designer, talking. And opening fire on any one who refuses to analyze her own type and then dress to suit it, who fol- lows fashion whims blindly instead of interpreting each new mode in terms of herself as an individual.
 What Mr. Shoup means is admir- ably illustrated in the clothes he has designed for Fay Bainter, Gale Page and the Lane sisters to wear in the forthcoming production, "An American Family"
 The costumes he did TOT lovely Priscilla Lane make Priscilla seem taller and more slender than she really is. She appears to grow taller and more slender the min- ute she slips into any of the dress es Howard Shoup created to be worn in the picture.
 Among the things he likes for Priscilla and would advice for any woman who is determined to look taller and thinner are: lifted

 Wagons Very Dangerous
 And need we mention the little wagon again? It becomes restless in the spring and gets an itch to wander. The middle of the street or road calls with siren voice and there is our Mary hitching along to Kits on the smooth asphalt.
 I have, no desire to run the freedom of @ new spring, or to take one single joy-maker from the younger set. But few rules set down without a maybe" are not only kind but necessary.
 A Divine Providence certainly protects children or there would be more accidents than there are. Why not help Providence little, and make sure that our own chill dren won't be among the ex- amples used to warn others?
 Keep an eye open, I suggest, and train THEM to keep both eyes open. There will be fast driving and bad driving. So make the middle of the street taboo.

Howard ShOup, Hollywood de. signer, thinks this dress which he created for Fay Bainter is the ideal type for mature figures. Beautifully. fitted through the middle, it has a rather high neck line, squared shoulders and a
 softly full skirt.
 waistlines, jackets with rounded corners, V-shaped bodices with the V-point extending downward into the skirt, narrow belts and solid colors rather than prints or two- tone combinations.
 He warns against thick fabrics, bulky furs, anything fitted too snugly, hemlines too far from the floor, close-fitting turbans, very narrow skirts, sloping shoulder lines.
 For Gale Page, who is taller than the average motion picture star, and inclined to appear on the screen bit larger than she actu- ally is, Howard Shoup likes: slim as-a-reed clothes with fairly natural shoulders; sharp contrasts between dresses and coats; hats with medium rather than high crowns; brimmed hats, of course; reasonably short skirts.
 He always gives Miss Page large bags and thinks that, regardless of so-called fashion reports and cabled news, no tall large woman ought ever to carry a tiny purse or wear dinky little bits of jewelry. Or choose stripes, either horizontal or vertical. The former will make her look wider and the latter will make her seem taller.
 For Fay Bainter, who plays the mother role in "An American Family" MT. Shoup has designed clothes that make the famous star look youthful but not giddy, dig nified but not somber. He likes Miss Bainter in softly graceful shirt waist dresses with rather high neck lines finished with soft bows.
 One of the smartest Shoup cos- tunes for Miss Bainter includes a print dress with tiny white flow CTS on wine background and a wine redingote with edge-to-edge closing in center front. The coat molds her figure beautifully with out seeming too snug. With it, the star wears wide straw hat, trim- med with wine yelling instead of a plain ribbon band.

versations with Japanese Foreign
Minister Hachiro Arita. He said
he hoped the Japanese government
would be able to restrain its ,reE-
resentatives in China.
"Will the prime minister bear in
mind" Mr.. Eden then asked, that
promises in Toxic are not always
fulfilled as might be hoped?"
II am quite aware of that" Mr..
Chamberlain replied, "and the hopes
I have expressed have reference to
conversations with the Japanese
government in Toxic and I hope
they will be able to restrain their
subordinates in Tientsin."
Has Reprisals in Mind.
Sir John Wardlaw-Milne, con-
servative, asked: May I ask whether
there Is not very grave danger
that the Prime Minister'S patience
ard conciliatory policy will be just
as much misunderstood in the Far
East as in Germany, and whether
IN his effort to avoid conflict which
might lead to war in the Far East
1t would not be worth while to
threaten definite economic repris-
als?"
Mr.. Chamberlain replied: "I have
all these considerations in mind and
I hope the honorable member will
exercise what patience he can"
The Prime Minister'S statement
was made after the cabinet Foreign
Affairs Committee had discussed
both the question of the British
French-Soviet Russian negotiations
for a mutual assistance pact and
the situation in the Far East.
Unless positive reply to a British
offer for negotiation and treatment
of the Tientsin blockade as a local
incident" is received, it was con-
sidered almost certain that the
Prime Minister would make the
cabinet meeting on Wednesday a
deadline for beginning retaliatory
measures.

Buckner said that 11,103 of the
railway bonds were represented at
the meeting, and added that he was
worried about expenses, but was as
sured the committee would raise a

Buckner said, he was elected chair

He testified that DR.. Max Winkler,
economist and a member of the
committee, told him he did not think

Buckner testified that he came

three or four years before he became

Chamberlain Expects
Toxic Discussions
To Bring Settlement
Insists Indienities by
japanese Cease, He
Tells Commons
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 26.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain told the House
of Commons today he had some
reason to hope" that discussions
now going on in Toxic would lead
to a settlement Of the Far Eastern
crisis.
For that reason, he said, he did
not want to make any statement
which might prejudice the pros
poets of satisfactory issue of the
conversations with the Japanese
government"
Mr.. Chamberlain did say, how
ever, that Britain was insisting that
indignities to British nationals in
China must cease and that the
British ambassador to Japan, Sir
Robert Leslie Craigie, had made
this clear to the Japanese govern
ment.
Reports circulated that Britain
and Japan already had agreed to
open negotiations in Toxic within
48 hours, but the foreign Office would
neither confirm nor deny them.
These reports said the japanese had
agreed to lift the blockade of the
British and French Concessions at
Tientsin soon after the negotiations
started
Questioned on the laggard British
French-SOviet Russian negotiations
for a mutual assistance pact, the
Prime Minister announced new in
structions would be sent shortly to
British representatives in the Soviet
capital.
He was asked by Laborite Hugh
Dalton whether it was not clear that
delays in the negotiations were CIV
ing greatest satisfaction in Berlin
and increasing the risk of new Ger
man aggression and a general war
in Europe"
That may be so and I hope it is
in the minds of the Soviet govern
ment as well,' Mr.. Chamberlain re-
piled.
The Foreign Affairs Committee of
the cabinet arranged to meet tonight
TO draft new instructions to the
British diplomats in Moscow and
to review the entire Far Eastern sit
uation.
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke in Com
mons as the British public's indigna-
ton ran high over the case of a
British subject and his wife who, ac-
cording to British charges, were
forced by japanese sentries to un-
dress for search at the entrance to
the blockaded foreign area of Tien-
tsin, North China port.
Former Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden asked whether Mr..
Chamberlains expression of hope
of a settlement arose from contacts
with Toxic alone and whether there
was any improvement in the local
situation at Tientsin.
Mr.. Chamberlain replied that his

my father not being invited to the
British Embassy garden party?'
Another man asked why I had
written about his sisters engage
ment.
Finally the car stopped on a
country road. The men jumped out
and dragged me after them. One of
them produced razor and said:
Now let's 60 to work so he'll never
want to come back here The other
men Cautioned him against this
however. I struggled, but they
were holding me tight and hitting
me and kicking me.
Where do you get your stories
tell us where you get the things
you print, they kept asking. I re-
fused to tell them.
They got pot of tar and bag
OF feathers and covered my body
from my feet up to my chin. Thank
heaven, the tar was not hot. When
they had finished. they drove off in
their car, throwing me a pair OF
pants and one shoe"
Mr.. Cassini stumbled over the
road toward farm house. At the
first place he was driven away by
dogs, but at the second he found
help.
He was driven to the Mcdonnell
home at his request. because he was
afraid for Miss Mcdonnell, whom
he had escorted to the dance that
night. Then he went to the Fau-
quier County General Hospital in
Warrenton, where the tar and
feathers were removed.
His injuries were superficial, hos
pital authorities said. Yesterday
the columnist swore out the war
rants against three men whose
names he said he knew. The war
rants were issued by Trial Judge
B. Richard Glascock, who still had
them in his possession this morn
ing.

assailants, is brother of the girl

did not know the names of the

feather part but knew their faces
Mr. Cassini is grandson of
Count Arturo Cassini, Russian Am
bassador to the United States dur

any preconceived idea you would get

None whatever"
Buckner, whose voice was calm
and low, said man named Coyle
spoke at the meeting.
Mr.. Coyle," he testified, said he
had had breakfast that morning
with President Quezon of the Phil
lppines, and Mr.. JULIO, master of
justice Of the Philippines, and that
they had expressed a desire to live
up to their moral obligation with
the bondholders.

secluded spot in the woods outside
OF the town, stripped him and
painted him with tar and feathers
In swearing out the warrants, Mr..
Cassini said that the five men had
brandished razor at him and
threatened to mutilate him. When
he asked them for a reason for the
assault, the columnist said, they told
him they were angered by things he
had written about members of their
families. While Mr.. Cassini ascribed
the attack to his columning activ-
tiles, there were indications that
other angles were under investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Cassini was said to have COM
mented in his column on the fact
that the Montgomerys' father, r. M.
Montgomery, a gentleman farmer,
had not received an invitation to the
party at the British Embassy for
King George and Queen Elizabeth.
Friends of the Montgomerys said
however, that the family regarded
the omission of the invitation as an
oversight rather than a slight. Mr..
Montgomerys wife was invited to
the garden party at the instance of
her brother, the Rev. Guy st. John
Vernon, one-time tutor to King
George, it was said.
The case has stirred deep feel
ings in this part of the country.
Mr.. Cassini was resting today at
the home of Miss Austine McDon-
nell, where he has been a guest for
several days. His face is scratched
and there are bruises which he says
were inflicted by his assailants Sum-
day morning.
He told the story of the evening
as follows:
Il was with Miss Jane Calvert at
the dance when someone came up
and tapped me on the shoulder and
told me that my car had been struck
out in the driveway. I left Miss
Calvert with Mr.. Krock and went
outside.
"A group of men were standing
near my car and suddenly one of
them jumped me. A hand was
clamped across my mouth and I
began to struggle. Someone hit me
on the head-I think with a flash
highland I was stunned. Then
someone started TO choke me and I
was thrown into the car.
II was hit again and again with
the weapon and held by my throat
so tightly that I could not breathe
That choking was the worst part
of it. AS I was driven along they
finally released the hold on my
throat. I said What do you fellows
want? What have I done?'
1--WE are going to emasculate
you,' one of the men in the front
seat said.
Have you ever heard of the
Ku Klux Klan?' another man said

sini asked.
