sH1RTwAIsTERs GO EVENING

Most intriguing of all the shirt waisters are the dinner and evening ensembles. Just by choosing the right blouse, one can be as casual or as formal as one likes. Skirt and blouse may be of one material. as is seen in a navy and white striped silk dinner shirtwaister with a narrow red kid belt. Or the skirt may be of a dark sheer wool, slim at the hips and flaring at the hem- line, worn with a fine silk stud shirt and a wide cummerbund in a third color to give narrow, high waisted effect. Broadened shoulders, long voluminous sleeves gathered into narrow tight wristbands, dis tinguish many of the blouses, al- though some of the dainty, frilly white cottons are short-sleeved. Skirts are, of course, evening length and very full, wide-gored or pleated.

 about that?" Mack took the book and started as though it had play ed him a mean trick. T was sure 1t was just due today. Maybe the dates wrong. I'm just as sure as anything 1t isn't ten days. Honestly I didn't think it was over two days. anyway. Or 1t might be five, but not ten"
 Now look here, son, you knew very well that 1t had to go back, But after the first day or two you were afraid to tell me about 1t because you didn't have the money for the fine. So you just let 1t lie here until I found it. When I find out about things it seems easier than for you to tell me about them yourself. I sup- pose you thought that maybe I'd take it back myself when I went to market and relieve you alto- gether.
 T don't know how I happened to forget it." insisted Mack T just forgot, that's all. I'm awful busy"
 All right, then. You just forgot But tell Mrs. Hunt at the library that you'll bring the money when you earn 1t. She will understand"
 You can't do that" said Mack, "They don't charge things. It has to be paid right away or they do something. put you in jail or send the sheriff."
 Mrs. Brown succeeded in keep ing her mouth straight. Not as bad as that. I am sure, but what are you going to do? haven't the money. And tomorrow it will be more.'

 No, haven't. That purse of mine isn't the magic gold mine

Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, is to be appointed chairman of Q special committee to adminis- ter the Waterbury Infantile Para lysis fund, according to Fred J..

FOOD COOKED AS YOU LIKE

FOOD COOKED AS YOU LIKE
 The kindly old waiter who took good care of us knew not only what we liked but sometimes ad- vised what would be good for us. So when we had lobster for dinner he was obviously disturbed when one of the party asked for ice cream. Finally he made an oppor- tunity to inquire in a whisper whether he should bring the ice cream regardless of the combina- tion.
 The wonder is that there are not many more such superstitions or obsessions, in view of the dense ignorance of the educated class concerning physiology. People who seriously believe in indigestion" must logically place more or less credence in these legends.
 Still quite popular is the notion

 Once you have good permanent wave, give 1t the care it deserves.
 You know, of course, that no permanent is self-setting. If your hair is to be neat and flattering and nodded to the lines of your head, you or a professional opera tor must set the waves in place after each shampoo. But you ought to know also that brushing, meticu- lous shampooing and bit of extra care between trips to the beauty shop all help to make the wave last longer and give better service whiie 1t lasts.
 Don't l.c anyone tell you that a new permanerr should not be brushed. It should be. And the more you brush 1t, the softer and more manageable it will become.
 However, don't brush and brush and brush your hair upward away from the scalp and then go to bed without combing 1t back into prop CT place and pirch:ng the waves a bit. During the first two or three weeks while the permanent is so very new, brush, then comb, then put on a hair net and wear 1t all night. There are hair nets and hair nets these days-and you can find one which really is pretty becom- ing.
 Wear 'Night Caps"
 One of Hollywood's most im- portant motion picture actresses likes a self-wound turban of pink net instead of a regular hair net
 After she has brushed her hair and co,nbed it as carefully as she can she winds the long strip of net around her head and ties the ends in a bow at the front. A New York actress wears o blue snooo at night. It keeps the ends in ring lets. preserves the waves at sides of the head and, m addition. is at- traciiye

less a singleton, would win trick so the next play was the ace of diamonds, followed by the four. West, who could still see chance to win a heart or a club trick, won with the diamond king and returned club. South ruffed, entered dunn my with the ace of spades, and dis carded his losing hearts on the queen and ten of diamonds.
 Had he drawn trumps before at- tacking the diamonds, South would have had to take the heart finesse at once, since dummy would never again get the lead. That plan would have led to defeat

WOMAN,S REALM
Working Wife's Yen for Hearthside
 Usually Meets Husbands Mood

Both are not only willing to stay at home and enjoy the comforts of easy slippers, easy clothes and a good light over comfortable chair put they look forward to it.
 And the husband of a working wife is lucky man who really gets to read. His wife doesn't need to talk or to be entertained like the wife who has stayed home by Ter self all day.
 Chances are her day has been just as difficult as his. And she, too, has had enough of people for a while.
 No. If a wife's working holds any threats to marriage in the general run of cases, 1t isn't because she and her husband will find 1t hard to agree on how to spend their eve- nings.
 There just aren't enough social ly-minded men in the world who prefer dinner jacket to smok- ing jacket at the end of a hard days work.

WATER PLANTS sPARINGLY

You can kill house plants with kindness-by giving them more wa ter than it can absorb. Never allow surplus water to stand in the flower pot or drainage saucer; 1t will cause the roots to rot. Add water to the soil, not over the leaves or blossoms; i; the leaves of juicy plants are harmed by contact with water. Rub- Der plants, ferns and palms, how ever, enjoy a good spraying about twice a week.

TOne-CraWfOrd Case Unique
BY RUTH MILLETT

The hard-working husband whose socially minded wife insists on dragging him out in the evening is an old American picture. "a.
 A newer one is the hard-work- ing wife whose husband insists on her stepping into dancing slippers at the end of a hard day when she wants nothing so much as to slip into her oldest pair of house slip pers.
 In her complaint against Fran chot Tone, Joan Crawford, who is suing him for divorce, said, "On many evenings he would insist that the plaintiff go out with him social ly, well knowing that she was tired and had work to do, and when she would suggest postponing to a bet ter time, Tone would become very sullen an dangry."
 While woman's-place-is-in-the- home addicts may use this case a talking point, 1t isn't 8 good one. For it isn't likely this picture will ever become very familiar.
 Most working husbands and wives find that they are In complete agree ment on the way that evenings fol- lowing work days should be spent

Did you ever stop to think of the

works hard getting the dirt and

It's place next to the most efficient
washer and makes it possible for
you to have the wash in a clean,

This dryer is made entirely of
rugged sheet metal and contains
80 cubic feet of space. The rods on
which the clothes are hung total 81
feet in length, making it possible
for you to place the entire wash
Tor a family of six in the machine
and it will all be nicely dried in
about three hours.
The entire casing, inside and out,
Is finished with a special heat
resisting enamel so that it is ex-
tremely easy to keep clean and is
not affected by the temperature of
the air inside. A thermostat con-
troll on the unit is set with a dial
with various temperatures on it
ranging from 100 degrees to $50 de-
grees. hence it is simple matter to
