Weatherman Is The Real Fashior To Whom Hollywood Stars Bow
Responsible
 For Dearth of
 Fur-Trin Suits
BY LUCIE NEVILLE NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 Hollywood-Stylists can talk about the Peruvian influence on clothes, military trends and vogues started by this actress or that society lea der. But basically, California's styles are dictated by the weather. No amount of ballyhoo about what "they" are wearing, for instance, is going to popularize fur trimmed suits here. It's too doggone cold to wear them at night; instead, you will see fur wraps or topcoats over plain suits or dresses.
 And there aren't any occasions where Hollywood can wear these luxurious suits during the day. Any time you catch an actress leisurely lunching in town or going to an af- ternoon bridge, you can figure she's very minor actress or lat liberty" SUITS ARE BACKBONES
 OF STARS WARDROBES
 Not that they don't like this fash- ion. Studio designers say that in- variably when they make 8 dressy town suit collared in mink or Per- sian lamb, star will exclaim, "Oh, I'd love to have that! but where would I wear it?" Same with long, tailed cocktail dresses and velvet afternoon frocks.
 Yet suits of any kind except fur red are the backbone of evry actress wardrobe. And you'll see some nice ones in the movies, now being made, that will release this coming spring.
 Lucille Balls screen wardrobe for Three Girls and Cob" includes three suits. One I like best is brown and biege herringbone tweed, single-breasted, one-button, with a back pleated from yoke to belt. The jackets slim and long, the skirt straight and short, both showing Miss Balls umph to advantage.
 A zip-up suit is one of three in Marjorie Weaver's screen wardrobe for Michael Shayne"-a French blue woolen, shadow striped in white and deep rose. In both skirt and long jacket, the stripes are placed up-and-down, only the modified dolman sleeves using the material horizontally for contrast.
 The vogue for actual mems and boys jackets hasn't been followed

High quality lamb is available in the American markets 12 months of the year. It is an excellent source of protein, iron, phosphorus and vitamins essential for growth, appetite and the prevention of cer- tein diseases. When buying lamb, look for meat that is light pink in color with firm white fat.
 Lamb being tender, practically every cut may be roasted, broiled or panbroiled. Lamb also makes a good inexpensive stew because its flavor blends well with all vegeta- bles. The leg, loin and rib cuts are in general the less thrifty cuts, but the shoulder, breast and flank are in the low price class.
 In roasting lamb, cook the meat uncovered at low oven tempera- ture (300 degrees F) on a rack. A leg of lamb will always roast more quickly if the paper-like covering, the "fell," is not removed. For the small fami!y, a cushion shoulder or rolled shoulder are practical.

GlorWng Yourself
Dy Alicia Hart

Done correctly, even the simplest beauty routine is beneficial to the skin in more ways than one.
 For example cleansing, the sim plest step of all, does more than just clean the skin if the cream is smoothed on with upward and out ward strokes and patted in along the fabby jawline before removal.
 The same is true of soap and water cleansing. Move washcloth or complexion brush upward from chin to ears, upward from nose to temples, upward on forehead and gently around the eyes. Notice how much better your skin feels after ward than 1t does after g. skin- stretching, up and down and around and around scrubbing.
 APPLY CREAM WITH
 UPWARD MOTION
 Tonic, night cream, even founda- tion lotion and powder should be applied accordingly. When you re- move makeup, hold piece of cleas- ing tissue in each hand. Place hands on chin, then move the tissues up- ward from chin to ears, from nose to temples, upward on forehead then around and around eyes. You'll be giving your skin good little facial as well as cleansing.
 Never rub or pat or cleanse your throat with downward strokes. Be- gin at the base and work upward and outward to jawbone.
 You cannot, of course, give your face the best possible cleansing, cream treatment or makeup job un- less you first wrap a towel or spe- cial makeup band around your head to protect your hair.
 Fasten 1t securely, tuck every hair under 1t, then go ahead without having to worry about your hair line or having to stop creaming or washing about an inch away from it.
 Furthermore, it's a good idea to get into the habit of using a makeup cape whenever you are combing your hair or applying pow der. Makeup capes, available in all department stores, keep shoul- ders and collar free from f1ecks of powder and bits of dandruff, thereby saving a great deal of time that would otherwise be spent brushing

Scrap Book
Of '93 Fame
Presented
Volume Is Given
To Federation
At Ceremony

A scrapbook, awarded a gold
medal at the Chicago exposition in
1893, was presented to the ar.
chives Of the General Federation
Of Womens Clubs yesterday by
Mrs. Randolph D. Hopkins, who
has been its guardian for many
years.
The presentation, arranged by the
Housekeepers' Alliance, of which
Mrs. Hopkins is a member, was
made at national headquarters OF
the federation, 1884 N street NV.
The volume was formally accepted
by Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, ma
tional president.
The book contains clippings Of
articles written by members of the
Women's National Press Associa-
ton, organized in 1882 and said to
be the first of its kind in the world.
Writing at a time when women
were just beginning to enter pro-
fessional life, many of the femi-
nine scribes hid their identities be-
hind nom de plumes. Among these
were Mrs. M. B. Lincoln, whose
pen name was Bessie Beach, and
Mrs. Emily Edison Briggs, who
wrote under the name of Olivia.
The scrapbook is of particular
interest here, as the Women's Ma
tional Press Association was one
Of the organizing clubs of the Dis
trict federation.
Among interesting names of early
feminine leaders and women of
achievement whose writings or re-
ports OF activities appear in the
scrapbook are: Mrs. Belva Lock-
wood, woman lawyer, who once ran
Tor President on the Temperance
ticket; Mrs. Mary Gist, Mrs. Isa-
bella Worrell Ball, Mrs. Clara Colby,
suffrage leader; Mrs. Ellen S. Corn
well and Mrs. Frances Graham
French one of the first women to
represent this country at an inter-
national education meeting.
The Women's National Press As
sociation went out of existence dur
ing the World War, when its presi-
dent, Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, at
that time more than 80 years of age,
turned her attention to war work
Mrs. Hopkins was vice president of
the organization and, at Mrs. Lock-
woods death, received the scrap
book
At the time of the Chicago Ex-
position the book was compiled and
sent to the Women's Building at
the fair, where it was awarded a
gold medal for the best exhibit of
women's accomplishments and con-
tributions to public life.

Declare Friday, February

Waterbury teachers and school
children have q chance for q 12-day
vacation, beginning February 81. if
Dr.. Thomas j. Condor, superin-
tendent, so wills It.
II Dr.. Condor recommends to the
board that Friday, February %,
the day after Washington's Birth
day, be made q holiday, teachers
and children can pack up their
troubles wednesday afternoon, Feb
ruary Il, and not return to their
duties until March 4. The eight
weeks vacation starts the 23d. At
e meeting Of the Bridgeport Board
Of Education Tuesday night, 1t was
voted to make February % a holi-
day. The same has been done in
New Britain.
Many observers feel that the cost
Of keeping the schools open here
for just one day, Friday, February
81, Is prohibitive, what with electric
lights, fires, etc.
Members Of the board said today
the matter Is entirely up to DR.. Con-
don, who makes out and recon-
mends the school calendar.
II DR.. Condor gives his okay,
teachers and pupils will begin their

So that prompt measures to pre-

Kno 7lton advised, physicians, par.
ei. is, nurses, teachers and others are
required by law to report cases Of
communicable disease to health Of
ficers. Quarantine power granted to
health officers is the greatest con-
ferred upon any executive official.
Explained DR.. Knowlton. 1T the
president Of the United States were
found afflicted with smallpox and
placed under quarantine In o Con-
necticut town, neither the supreme
court Of the United States nor the
national congress could do anything
about 1t. The granting Of such abb
solute powers to health officers In
dictates recognition Of the necessity
for effective measures Of control to
prevent the spread Of disease"
Quarantine measures would not be
needed for certain diseases, DR..
Knowlton emphasized, II full use
were made NJ the definite immune.
alton procedures that are available.
He urged all parents to consult
their family physicians about these
and to insist that all possible pro-
lection ! given their children.
There Is no need Of having smallpox
II everybody Is protected by vac
cination. There is no need Of hav.
ing diphtheria II all children are
and kept immune. Scar
let fever MAY be eliminated In the
same way: Imnunization procedures
against whooping cough are worth
while, DR.. Knowlton advised, even
though In some cases they modify
the attack rather than prevent the
disease entirely.
Germ Carriers
Disease germs grow In the body

that the disease can spread. Germs
Of most diseases, 1t was explained,

Causes Comment
Ex-Mayor Hayes offers the vari-

for offers for land and buildings IN

Of the advertisement caused wide
speculation as to the mayors plans.

that the committee Of the finance
board now studying plans for quits
against former city officials will in
vestigate the matter. However, 1t is
believed that only one or two Of
the many pieces Of real estate on

himself.
No transaction for the sale Of any
of the property under attachment
can be completed without the APP
