 AFTERNOON STYLE
PATTERN 979

A soft and appealing feminine look is fashion important this sea- son. Claire Tilden captures it beau- tifully in her Pattern 979, grace full afternoon frock that's the very essence of femininity. Choose a flower r-sprinkled crepe or perhaps a sheer monotone fabric. You will love the front f1attery of those deep, gathered yolkes that form the w. neckline and extend right down to smooth, high-reaching skirt panels. In back, flowing panelled lines are interrupted just below +he waistline with a curved seam that gives smooth bodice fit and extra flare to the skirt below. Let sash come from either side of the front panels to tie in back, or continue it around to make pretty front tie-ends. You might have the sash of gay ribbon for a touch of color. Tiny buttons down the back and frills of lace about the sleeves and yolkes would give added charm. Try the yoke in light contrast for dramatic effect iveness!
 Pattern 979 is cut in misses and women's sizes IA, 16, IS, 20, 32, 34, 36 38, 40 and AZ. Size 16 requires 5-8 yards 39 inch fabric, 1-2 yard contrast and 5-8 yards lace edg- ing.

GlOuUing Yourself
R Alicia Hart

You don't know it, Miss and Mrs. America, but many a Hollywood star is trying harder to look like you than you. are to look like her.
 So says Connie Bennett, glamor- ous screen actress and owner of cosmetics company which bears her name.
 'The Hollywood star realizes how important 1t is for her to be nat ural looking to retain her lnd1vl- uality." Miss Bennett explains. "She knows that the average girl-unless she has struggled to be a arbon copy of someone else-ls fresh ana of person the star must portray or natural. In other words, is the Nno the screen"
 WAIT ON MEDICINE
 NEW COSMETICS
 The slender Constance Bennett smoothed the very slim skirt or her long-jacket suit and went on dis cussing her beauty preparations ID as sane a vain.
 "There are no new items in the line this year and, unless doctors and dermatologiSt discover some great scientific truth about the skin and its functions, there won't be any next year, nor the year after.
 "The line now contains all pre- parations necessary for cleansing, softening and stimulating the skin. What more can one ask?"
 HERE'S HOW, SAYS CONNIE ,.,
 The twenty-m facial which Miss Bennett would have every woman give herself at home every day begins with thorough cleans ing-with cream.
 "Then stimulating cream should be applied and left on for tive minutes" she says. Remove It with & cool cloth; apply mask and let it dry; remove the mask; pat on a saftening milk lotion. then skn tonic. This is all. Repeat every day, at any time during the day and see what happens!"

TO WASH HANDMADE SPREAD

Hand crocheted or knitted bed- spreads can be dry-cleaned, of course, but if you prefer to wash them yourself, 1t can be done quite successfully at home without diffl- culty. Use plenty of warm, mild soapsuds and keep the studs active during the entire cleansing by add ing more soap when the father ap- pears to deaden. Immerse the spread and squeeze the suds through it over and over. If the spread is very soiled, use a second suds bath. Rinse several times in clear warm water, pressing out the excess water carefully and holding so that the weight of the water does not stretch the spread out of shape. Pinning the spread on a sheet be- fore drying over the line also helps to keep it even. Pressing usually is not necessary, but if you wish to accentuate the design, press on the wrong side with cool iron.

SOME PARENTS CAN TAKE IT

SOME PARENTS CAN TAKE IT
 Our children, complains an eX- traor dinarily timid parent, seem to be the victims of two unnatural, nasty old maids, who have made a rule that pupils cannot leave the room to go to lavatory unless they bring notes from their doctors say ing they are in ill health. This seems outrageous. It is impossible to believe that type of teacher or principal is tolerated in our public school system today (Signed)
 There is only one reason why such medieval abuses prevail in some communities, and that is the wretched timidity of parents in such communities.
 If the father of the children who afe subjected to such repression by pedagogues unfit to be entrusted with the instruction of children hasn't enough self-respect to m- struct the teacher, principal or whoever may be responsible for the rule that it must cease then the mother should set about eradicat- ing such abnormalities from her children's environment. First ask the teacher whether the rule is her own or one made by her principal. If it is her own, then simply advise her that it shal lnot apply to your child or children-and if the teach CT declines to comply with your Wishes-well, a good mother might properly slap her down then and there.
 It is natural, normal and advis- able for nearly every child to visit the lavatory once in the course of three-hour school session. It is unjustifiable and cruel for teach CT, principal or any one else to make an arbitrary rule of the sort this peasant parent describes. There is something wrong with the mind of a pedagogue who seeks to impose such restrictions on the physiological functions of children so unfortunate as to be at his or her mercy for several hours a day
 To the parent who writes to me instead of visiting the school and raising the roof there about the misconduct of teacher or principal I would point out that regardless of the direct taxes one pays or does not pay every citizen has an equal interest in and an equal voice ir the control of our schools, and any citizen who meekly submits to pre- sumptuous traetment by others de- serves the indignity for being. such Donald Meek.
