OF KEEN interest to seekers of
Othe coveted something differ
ent' that adds zest to each seasons
modes are the excitingly new sill
houettes given to fashions through
soft styling technique that makes
fullness its theme.
The versatile ways in which the
new fullness is manipulated i'm
presses one. In some instances
skirts are frankly full all around,
inspired no doubt by the dirndl vogue
that has been having a successful
run for some time. The all-around
pleated skirts will hold good among
foremost fashions not only for mid
season and spring, but their style
prestige will endure the whole sum-
mer through. Impressed pleats is
also a favorite method with design
ers for acquiring desired fullness.
Then, too, there is the circular-cut
skirt that measures yards around
the hem. 1t is getting lots of notice
especially in the very new petit
coat versions which are made to

of white that repeats the pique neck
wear which finishes off the blouse.
These petticoat dresses are provid-
ing a big sensation on the new style
program.
For women who cannot stand for
more than a certain amount of full
ness, the new skirts that make par
ticular appeal show controlled
treatment in that they are smooth
at the back and hips with fullness
brought to the front in gathered or
pleated panels. In both day and
evening clothes this idea is carried
out.
This matter of soft styling and in
triguing fullness is by no means con-
fined to the skirt but rather is con-
sistently worked throughout the cos
tune so as to preserve continuity in
a unifying way. The smart coat
and dress shown in the illustration

Glasses Need

From Beauty
By PATRICIA LINDSAY

SOME beauty authorities stress
eye makeup if you must veal
eyeglasses. but l stress hair styling
and lip rouge.
In the first place, if your eyes
are so weak that constant use Of
glasses is necessary, the less you
tamper with them the better. The
simplest care of daily bathing with
a reliable lotion, and healing drops
prescribed by your occulist, should
be the extent of your fussing. Plenty
OF rest and eye exercise, of course,
but no mascara nor eye shadow nor
penciling.
Touch up your brows, yes, and
keep them trim. But do not pluck
them to thin line. Many physi-
clans offer the opinion that too fire.
quent plucking of the eyebrows
weakens the eyes. So you see?

Winter Greens for Poultry

Alfalfa hay, lespedeza, and clover
hay make good green's for winter
use provided they are so cured as
to retain their green color. Alfalfa
leaf meal, if a bright green color,
makes satisfactory green feed,
but should not constitute more than
10 per cent of the mash, says a
North Carolina Agricultural college
authority. Where the hays are used,
they should be fed in racks as the
birds will eat only the leaves and
the stems can then be thrown in the
litter. Of the feed mentioned, green
alfalfa hay is the most satisfactory.

Red Mites Attack Poultry

Mites are thieves that really do
come in the night. Hidden away in
cracks and crevices during the day,
they steal forth and crawl over the
hens body when she goes to roost
at night to feast upon her blood un-
til their tiny bodies are distended
and red in color, which doubtless
gave them their name, "red" mite.
Their bodies filed with warm blood,
they stream back to their crevices
where they carry out natures plan
of MULTIPLICATION and growth.

she was there with her husband,

but the bride in "The Bride Of

mentioned as one of the best of the

Custer Resigns Post
Asa. F. 6. f. Head
Because Of Health
Will Retain Office
Until Executive Council
Names Successor

Cecil E. Custer. recently elected
president of the American Fedora
ton of Government Employees, last
night rendered his resignation to the
Executive Council, because of i'll
health.
Mr.. Custer will retain Office until
a successor is named by the council
1t was not certain whether a special
meeting would be called for that
purpose, or whether the resignation
would be held in abeyance until
the council meets here after the first
of the year in regular session.
Mr.. Custer, budget officer for the
Civil Service Commission, has been
connected with the federation since
its inseption. and for several years
served as treasurer, relinquishing
that Office last month when named
to the presidency at the convention
in Atlantic City. He had planned
shortly to retire from the commits
sion.
Subsequent to his election to the
presidency. he told the council: Il
have had recurrence of an old all
ment which made it necessary for
me to place myself in the hands OF
my physician. After considerable
treatment, he now advises me that
it will be seriously detrimental to my
health to attempt at this time to
perform the arduous duties of the
Office of president of the federation,
entailing as they do considerable
amount of travel in many parts of
the United States"
In the selection of a president to
serve until the next convention in
1941 the council-composed of fed
Grafton officers-has a free choice,
but there is no indication where
this may lie,
Mr.. Custer defeated for the presi-
dency James A. Campbell, a vice
president, of Cincinnati, after
Charles I. Stengle, former president,
relinquished Office. Mr.. Stengle is
now legislative representative for
the organization.

be residue from a spray used by the
grower. The Agriculture Department
