impress us. and this "factag' idea
seems to us a logical and much
needed development. You'll find
the tags on cottons, rayons and
worsted. enabling you to shop safely
and sensibly. with a minimum risk
of trouble. Sure we're enthusiastic;
It's a great idea!
While we're babbling on about
safe and sane shopping, it seems a
good time to remind you that our
old friends the Color Afhliates are
playing a fourth season in this little
drama known as perfected Pur-
chasing" or How to save wear and
tear on your disposition
It seems that a group OF our
best-known manufacturers OF hats,
gloves, bags. shoes, woolens, silks
and rayons get together every sea-
son and decide on a group of colors
that will be prominent in their
lines. Then, each goes to work on
these established shades, with the
result that when you want to match
your accessories to your clothes, you
find them all perfectly co-ordlnated
provided you buy the merchandise
in a brand made by one OF the
Color Affliates.
Very soon now these tones will
be seen locally and they sound as
though they are going to be excel
lent for the fall season. A sort OF
back to nature mood has evil
IDENTITY hit this group, for the selected
shades bear such names as Bark
Brown. Juniper Green, Indian Sum-
mer "a rich russell, Huckleberry
(frosty purple. Nightfight Blue
Greatly autumn navy and ScarecroW
Grey-a dark shade that is nothing
of what its name implies.
In addition to the fabrics which
are being done in these shades, one
of our best known beauty firms has
created a special shade Of makeup
to go with them. Think Of the ease
with which you can now ensemble

your fall wardrobe, and give thanks
for people who are smart enough to
work together to save wear and tear
on your feet, your disposition and,
possibly, your budget.
Item number 3 in this miniature
roundup of important fashion
notes centers around our American
designers, those smart and lncreas-
ingly vital people who are going to
make this country the style center
of the world. Seems that there is
movement afoot to give these de-
signers proper credit, familiarlzlng
all of us with their names in the
same manner that the French cou-
turierS have long been known to
every fashion conscious woman.
Now, here is an idea for which
this department will gladly arise and
give three noisy cheers. We will
argue that our American creators
are just as capable of producing
smart and beautiful modes as any
other country, therefore they de-
serve all the recognition they can
get. 1t has always been the prac-
tice to mention Schiaparelli. Main
bocher or Molyneux in speaking of
new models, and its about time that
women became familiar with the
names of our own creative talent
who are doing and will continue to
do a top-ranking job.
During the last war, America had
a chance to grab the fashion leader
ship of the world and missed the OPP
portunity. This time the story will
be different. No one wants to take
advantage of anothers misfortune,
but we will encourage and credit
our own talent because We know it
to be worthy of all the attention and
praise it can receive. American de-
signers are hard at work; the fash
ion editors will encourage their rec
ignition, and women everywhere
will learn to know and admire the
creative ability in this country.
We're sure Of it!

A Youngster

But Overgenerosit!
Is Fault Requiring
Medical Care
By ANGELO PATRI.

Children are inclined to be stern
reahsts. They are acquisitive, self
centered and domineering If they
are in good health. They soon find
out that there is an "easy mark"
among them whose toys they can
take, whose candy they can eat,
whose rights they can absorb with
their privileges, and they sail right
into him, stripping him bare and
then casting him out with words
Of scorn.
The mother of such a helpless
one protests, saying, Il have taught
him to be kind, to share his things,
to be unselfish, and this is the
result. They take his things and
then give him a punch in the
stomach and laugh at him when
he runs home crying"
They will do just that. They. are
too young to know weakness should
be protected by the strength OF
others. With them it is every man
for himself. Nature safeguards
children that way. They are help
less in an adult world and unless
they look out for themselves they
will be wiped out.
They have to be taught to pro-
tect themselves and share what they
have with others. They understand
protecting themselves rather we'll
and need little teaching on that
score. 1t is the sharing with others,
the protection of the weak, they
must be taught. That takes time
and patient instruction.
Meanwhile, what about this too
kindly child? Overgenerosity is an
indication of something wrong.
Usually the child is failing to hold
up his end and tries to buy his
place, as many an adult tries, and
with the same result.
Don't tell such a child that he
is kind and worthy of praise. He
is weak and needs teaching and
protection. The first thing he needs
is medical care. The neurological
clinic or hospital will direct the
child to the best specialist in the
place, and he will proceed to ex-
anime and test him in an effort to
find what is keeping the child from
his place among his companions.
I don't believe in teaching chill
dren to give their things away.
They do not know what they are
giving. They do not understand
that everything they have cost
their people a bit of their lives.
Money means labor and labor is
the toll taken on life. No child
understands that value and none
need. Life will teach that later.
Nor do I believe that a child should
be taught to surrender his toys to
another just to be nice. 1t isn't
nice on the part Of the grasping
child. Why encourage him at the
expense of the other?
A normal, healthy child of and
less holds to his own grimly and
reaches for the other fellows.
Teach them, at this age, that each
has his own, that it is good bust
ness in play life to share, to work
together, but a bad business to
grab and to give. Sharing is the
word
If you have to deal with child
who loses his shirt to his COM
panions day after day, don't waste
breath on condemning the children
Take the child to the specialist and
find out what ails him, and cure
him so he can hold his own. He
must learn to do that before he
learns how to give. Giving can be
the most dangerous Of gestures.
Sharing u the word

A smart new blouse with SKIRT is
q very essential fashion for college
and business girls, and this design is
exactly the type they like best. The
skirt is sWirling and graceful. The
blouse is a becomingly soft varia-
ton on the familiar shirt-Waist
style, with deeply notched collar
and belt tied in a fiat bow.
Two or three such blouses and
one skirt provide welcome variety

more natural and more convenient
after you've once learned it. Take
the matter of holding a fork, for
example. How some young people
keep from stabbing themselves, with
the stiletto and flute-player grips
they use, is constant mystery to
us. When you've learned 10 hold a
fork correctly, you simply won't
understand how anybody could hold
it in any other way.
So be smart about this matter of
manners. Find out the right way
to do the things you must do any
way, and then practice Remember
that you can't improve your tech

completely habitual and natural.

Irene Dunno Plays
Woman Doctor

Columbia Pictures will produce
"The First Woman Doctor" based
on the life Of Elizabeth Blackwell,
the English girl who was the first
woman to obtain a medical degree
and doctors license. Irene Dunno
will be starred in the Blackwell role.
This dramatic story deals with
Miss Blackwell's struggles during
the period between 1882 and 1910 to
shatter precedent in realm hereto
fore dominated by men. Nego-
tiations now are under way to en-
gage Lloyd C. Douglas to do the
story and screen play. If these are
consummated, it will be the first
screen play written by Douglas
other than for his own novels. Ev-
erett Rishn will supervise produc-
ton.
Last seen under Columbia's BAN
ner as the star in The Awful
Truth" Miss Dunno achieved her
first screen success in "Cimarron."
Since then she has been starrd in
such important productions as Back
Street" Silver Cord" "Showboat,"
Roberta" Magnificent Obsession,"
Love Affair" and when Tomorrow
