You've demanded 1.-the simple frock with that "dressed-up" feel- ing, and Claire Tilden has designed 1t for you. Pattern 436 depends for It's effect on the striking center front panels of contrasting fabric |. color-contrast is 50 smart this seasonl The upper panel holds in the soft gathers of the bodice, then comes below the waist in point, into which is gathered the matching skirt panel. This long line draws attention from waist or hips that are too wide. The V-neck has the same slimming effect, and the whole panel is outlined with top stitch- ing. A single panel from neck to hem in back carries out the design. Long sleeves are recommended.

 If you are eagerly awaiting the first addition to your family, she will say, well, you might as well make up your mind to it-youll never be free again"
 If you proudly show her a new dress, she'll say, Its lovely, but I think ought to warn you; I had one made of the very same material and 1t didn't wear well at all"
 If you let her know that you are enjoying your new job and that you think you work with the finest kind of people. she'll say, T want to hear how you feel about 1t in 6 months. I'll bet 1t will not all seem SO wonderful by then"
 HER SONG IS KEYED
 TO SOUR NOTES
 And SO she goes from friend to friend pointing out future trouble. Nine times out Of ten she's right and that seems to satisfy her. She isn't actually glad things happen as she predlcts--jiist complacent. 1t makes her feel that she Is wiser than other folks, and that in an- tielpatlng their troubles she has really done them a favor.
 But she hasn't. All her gloomy predictions ever do Is take .he shine off a new experience for someone who has been thoroughly enjoying iE. And she Tohs herself of her opportunity to be thought os as gracious, charming, warm hearted woman.

B&AUxx Gl0rUing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Wrlter

With fashion people talking about vitamin girls instead of glamor girls and several beauty salons try ing earnestly to improve their clients circulation and general health, as well aS dimensions and posture, 1t becomes pretty obvious that America is more health-minded than ever before.
 This is no time for any woman to take pride in the fact that she is 50 painfully thin she Is bound to be extremely nervous, easily up. set. Unless there Is something or. ganically wrong with her, she can't expect much sympathy when she complains of tiring long before any task is finished.
 The time may not be far of when the woman who can do more than one job and do them we'll will be more appreciated in this country than any fragile, inefiicient glamor girl ever was.
 This Is indeed the time for every homemaker to learn more about food and how to feed her family so that the health of each member will be improved. And 1t is the time to begin believing what the experts know; that muscles which never are exercised will become fiabby and that soft, fiabby muscles will be useless in 6 home defense program in which women will take an active part, as they are doing in England today.

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Naturally no trip to the west coast would be complete without a stop at the Grand Canyon. We drove there from Boulder Dam, and stayed 3 two or three days. After taking in the sights in the daytime and watching the sunset, our foursome whiled away the evening with e few rubbers of bridge.
 One rubber Waldemar von zed- twitz and I played against Mrs. McKenney and Mrs. Albert Rock we'll. When Mrs. McKenney took the tineSse of the five against me, which was the winning play, I asked "Whatever made you fineSSe the five-spot2" She said, well, somebody told me today that the Grand Canyon is mile deep, so I thought this was the place to take c deep finesse."
 MI1. McKenney (NortNl won the opening lead with the ace Of spades. Then she led the three of clubs. I played the deuce and was astonished to see her play the five from dummy. Of course 1t held the trick. Besides six clubs, She took two spades and two diamonds.

OPPOSES LEND-LEASE BILL

To the Editor:
Very few Americans would try de
hberately to get America in the
European war. The lend-lease bill
now before Congress endangers u
wish for peace. If we believe IN
peace. we should oppose this Dill as
a virtual declaration of War.
The lend-lease bill Oh. r. l776)
would give the President dictatorial
powers over our entire ornaments.
The bill would allow him to lend
our arms abroad. The bill would
even allow battleships Of warning ma
tons to be repaired in American sea-
ports, 1t WouId make conveying OF
ships to Europe a reality.
With all our faith and energy, as
a democratic people, we should fight
this bill. We hate the principle Of
dictatorship, We must not give all
our powers to a single person.
We are constructing a gigantic de-
ftnse machine to protect America.
How can we afford to throw away
our security by giving up our arma-
ments? 'Lending" is a misleading
term in the bill, If you've yer lent
