A LII signs point to a riot of hand
some plaids in the spring style
parade. When you choose your plato
for a new coat, cape, jacket, dress
or separate skirt, fashion asks you
to throw all caution to the wind.
New plaids are big and bold, brazen
and color-mad, for fashion is in
mood for drama in plaids this
spring.
However, there is another side to
the plaid story which has to do with
conservative plaids that are in pas
tel colors so subtle, so winsome.
that you will find yourself yielding
to their enchantment at very first
glance. Which all goes to show in
the new spring collections that
there's plaid for every time, place
and occasion and for every individ-
uality.
Notwithstanding the color furore
that is going on, there is much en-
thusiasm for black and white wool
plaids. They are very new and very
good-looking and have a unique style
all their own.
The plaid costumes pictured typi-
fy the new trends. These stunning
models were selected from among
hundreds at a recent preview dra-
matically presented in pageantry
of fashion by the Style Creators of
Chicago, an event that illustrated
new achievement, new triumphs for
American designers. Conveying the
message that plaids are stylish this
season, we illustrate three distinct
types herewith-the long coat, the
dramatic cape of which you will
see an endless procession this
spring, and the ever-favorite softly
tailored long jacket.
The cape vogue is taking the

The other day I saw young woman
step into an Office reception room with
a long, hthesome stride, head up, chest
and shoulders high-a wonderful exam
pie of correct posture and carriage.
She strobe over to a chair and sat
down, alas, but how she sat down. She
looked like a sack of potatoes thrown in
a corner. She slumped down and prac-
tically folded up. Gone was that fine
posture, that proud carriage
Some people take lot of pains with
their posture when they walk down the
street, but neglect it when they are
standing or sitting. Posture is some
thing we should think about all the
time, not just part of the time. We
should sit straight, stand straight, and
walk straight. Then and only then will
nature begin to do something about
your figure. You know it is said that
one of the best ways to achieve a slim
waistline is to keep the stomach in
and up! Some of the most effective
exercises for the waist consist primarily
in stretching the stomach muscles in
and up. Army men found this out a
long time ago, and before long we will
see the effect of army training on the
physiques of our young men who have
been called from farm, shop and office
for military duty.
1t is surprising how closely related
posture is to our emotions and spirits.
Watch yourself or others when spirits
are low. The chest tends downwards
and the body more or less hangs itself
on its frame. But when we are buoyant
and excited, the chest expands and lifts.
Our entire body expresses self asser-
ton, courage, animation and heartiness.

worlo of fashion by storm. The
wearing of a plaid cape over
smartly tailored jacket suit is very
practical to wear during the tickle
weather of early spring days. AS
an ideal ensemble for later on, you
will be topping your crepe and print
frocks with a cape in one of the
pretty springtime colors. Note the
smartly capped lady of fashion in the
picture, who wears over a frock of
gold hued crepe full length wool
plaid cape, straight lined according
to latest silhouette trends.
One of the new and very smart
gestures of fashion is to top your
tailored suit with a coat of wool
plaid. Provided with such a chic
outfit as the sailor-hatted young
modern in the picture is wearing,
you will be ready to greet spring in
fitting regalia. Furthermore, if you
own sleek tailored plaid surcoat,
smartly straightlined and pocketed
as the one worn by the model il
Illustrated, it will prove a perfect
treasure later on as a wrap to wear
over various prints or plain frocks.
Note the good-looking plaid-jacket
costume centered in the group. Here
you see a very advance model in
the new longer length. The bias cut
of the plaid adds to it's charm. You
will love the hazy green gold and
gray tones in this plaid. Worn with
a sheer dress that features an all
around pleated skirt, this jacket will
take you places in high style.
More plaid! Here's the latest-hat
and enormous underarm bag of
vivid plaid to add color glory to
your new ensemble.

DIDJA EVER HEAR THAT:

A little salt rubbed on cups will re-
move tea stains?
AS tooth wash salt will keep teeth
white and gums firm and rosy?
Salt makes a good gargle for sore
throat?
Two teaspoons of salt in Y pint of
water is an emetic always on hand?
A little salt in hot water cuts grit
and sand from greens in a jiffy? Wash
in cold water afterwards
To keep leather in bags, furniture,
etc. soft, rub briskly with castor oil?
Melted parafne poured into a clean
garbage pail keeps it from rusting and
makes it easier to keep clean?
If you have scratches on your glass
table top, dip felt pad in paste of
glycerine, water and iron oxide and
rub briskly back and forth over sur
face? Deep gauges require special
treatment.

For this reason, we can stimulate physi-
cal and mental well-being by an erect
carriage. This means much to a wo-
mans appearance these days when
curves are the vogue. Thank goodness,
the sophisticated SLOUGH went out several
years ago.
[ have always contended that any
woman, young or old, can make herself
smart and attractive if she will look to
her carriage, to her makeup, and to her
hair. A good carriage will make slim
woman appear to fill out, and will serve
to streamline one who has few too
many curves.
Take either the slim or not-so-slim
woman with poise and vitality in her
carriage, give her the right kind of
makeup, and you have what the fash
ion experts call woman chic, smart
and stylish.
Both these things are so easy to ac-
complish. One calls for little discip-
line of the body. The other calls for a
little study of the right sort of makeup
selection of the right powder, rouge,
etc, and applying it correctly. Too
light a powder, too bright a rouge, the
wrong shade of lipstick, give an I'M
natural effect Proper selection and
careful application of makeup are
most important items in your search
for beauty.

A toast to the white-collar girl!
To her, fashion pays homage this
season. Mrs. Wilhela Cushman,
fashion authority, put it very aptly
when she said, "There is a new
fashion in girls this season. They
are healthy, happy, sparkling, with
a youthful zest for living, having
the brisk personality of Ginger
Rogers" Posed in the picture see
Ginger, White-collared to a nicely.
White collars of this type will be
used on navy, black and beige by
best-dressed young women every
where. A great favorite with the
young set is the new very large
white sailor collar.

MLady's Spring Shoes

There is no type shoe so univer-
sally fattering to the foot than a
neat-ftting shapely pump. This
year pumps are decorated with
bows Of every description. You can
tune your pump to almost any occa-
sion via its bow.
For the tailored street look, the
bow is of patent or the leather that
fashions the shoe. Ribbon grosgrain
bows are on the dressier types of
shoes, Bows of perforated leather
are very decorative. For dressiest
wear are bows which are made of
sequin or rhinestones.

BEAUTY HINTS
THE BROW OF CARE
By Nina Temple

Look at the faces of the old women
who sell fruits along the streets and
you will see what it looks like to wear
the brow of care. These women re-
fleet their feelings in their faces-life
for them is hard and their faces grow
scanned and lined. If you would have
smooth, carefree face, watch your
expression and never, never let the
harassment and worry of the day make
a sad map of your face. No matter
how much life may perplex you,-
smile, brush the care from your face
and face the future sereneIy and with
out the Brow of Care.

ST. THOMAS NOTES

For the duration of the summer
months there will be shortened
form of Mass on Sundays. It's pc
culiar, but hot weather certainly
produces luke-warm Christians. FIR.
Hogarth's sermon last Sunday was
exceedingly interesting. It was a
challenge to the Loyal Few as to
whether they can Withstand the
perplexing problems concerning
Church life confronting them. The
Christians challenge is to be able
to meet defeat with strength and
grace. Too often we put selfish
motives before our duty when
asked to make discouraging po-
sition agreeable. The trouble lies
in the so-called Christians incapa-
bility to take our Savior seriously
We contribute the best we have
to every other worldly enterprise
save that of worshipping Jesus
Christ. :. We are happy to learn
that Mr.. Arthur Whites condition
is steadily improving. We ask your
prayers that he will soon be up

LISTEN
TO
THIS
Mayor for a Day
By Hobart T. Mitchell

4SAOJOA AOA q Lay
On a Monday morning in July,
1895, my wife called me. to the
telephone, saying, ''The Mayors
Office wishes to speak to you"
Thinking it was some of my friends
kidding, I picked up the phone with
a rough Hello, what do you
want?" I was brought to my
senses by the voice at the other
end.
This is the Mayors Office-the
mayor presents his compliments
and desires your presence in his
Office at your earliest possible con-
venience."
eyes - Yes - But why does the
mayor wish to see me?"
81 do not know" came the voice
over the wire, "His Honor did not
inform me-"
was in a state of mental con-
fusion. Just why did the mayor of
a great metropolitan city wish to
converse with me? A group which
I had associated with had worked
very hard in the recent campaign
in which Thomas E. Latimer was
elected mayor and I thought may
be-and I thought just maybe
Groomed to the nth degree, pre-
sented myself at the office at about
2 o'clock of the same day. I was
met at the door by Sig Couch, the
police detective assigned to the Of
flee.
Glow do you do ?" said the smil-
ing detective, what can we do for
you?"
Telling him my name and also
at the same time informing him
of the morning telephone call, he
ushered me into the private office
of Mr.. Andrew Cooper, secretary
to the mayor.
Hello, MITCHELL" said the secre-
tary, "the mayor requested me to
call you this morning; he is in his
Office-gO right in and see him."
did you say go right in Mr..
COoper?"
eyes, go right in; the mayor is
expecting you"
We entered the spacious office
Of the mayor through the private
office of the secretary. Our feet
seemed to sink into the rich, flow
cred carpet a foot.
"Come in - take a seat there"
was the stimulating salutation of
the head of the city.
Barricaded behind a big f1at-top
desk, piled high with mail and sew
eral bulky-looking documents, read
ing a thick pamphlet, sat Mayor
Latimer. He finished the para
graph, inserted a marker, and
tossed the matter into a wire bas-
ket.
"HOw would you like to work
here in the office as my ASSISTANT"
said the mayor folding his arms
and leaning back in his heavily
brOcaded chair.
Met" I said, staring at him.
Was this man crazy? Were my
ears deceiving me?
did you ask me if 1 would like
to work here?"
EYES," he said dangling his Phi
Beta Kappa key, 81 had a desk
placed near the door in the recep-
ton room. 1t is yOurs-take q look
at it-and find yourself something
to- do"
Well, I went out to the desk
looked it over and sat down.
Wished you could have seen my
face. And my eyes-I batted 'em
fast, like a frog in a rainstorm.

of the City of Minneapolis. Lo-
Gated on the main floor of the City
