Better For
City Child
He Needs Release
From Strenuous
School Routine
By A neeIo Patri

City children need to 60 to camp
for as long as possible during the
long vacation period. A day filled
with worth while experiences, pro-
grammed and yet providing leisure
time for stretching the soul, is great
ly to be preferred to the long empty
day with nothing to do, nothing to
say. nowhere to 60, nobody to go
with that the usual vacation time
affords.
Attending summer school TO make
up lost time is one solution, but
not the best. If a school child has
attended school faithfully for the
10 months, has done his work we'll
and been promoted, going to sum-
mer school for more of the same
does not help him much. 1t he had
been out of school, or has time to
make up for some other reason,
summer school is not so bad, because
its purpose is clear. and it is not a
piling up of work that becomes
nothing but gesture of BUSINESS.
The country is the place for city
children in summer. They need
the relief from city life and the
school routine. They need the eX-
periences that life in the open can
give them. If they can work on
the farms, doing the light work
that IS within their ability, so much
the better. Usefulness puts a point
on summer vacation-an essential
matter.
Going to camp is just fine. if one
finds the right camp. BY that we
mean finding the right teacher-lead-
er. Some camps are nothing more
than cheap boarding conveniences
where children can be parked for
the season. Some are hotels catering
to a clientele of spoiled children.
The greater number are real camps
where children learn to live together,
work together and enjoy life to-
gether under the sky, by the lake
side, along the trails and out on the
fields.

decided to do something ABOUT lne
industry here. Factories started
running at top speed, and manufac-
turers even agreed to lose money on
fine laces, lust so that use OF them
could be made in this country, thus
promoting lace as necessary COM
modify. What's more, the develop
ment of new types such as laSteX
laceS for corsetS and the tremendous
vogue for wells helped to set the
machines humming. Then, appro-
priately, our defense program came
along, and the Army wanted more
mosquito netting!
So here we are in the midst OF
an American lace boom, the i'm
portance of which was stressed at
the annual lace ball held last week
at the Waldorf Astoria in New
York. This year the gala event
was held under the auspices of the
ziegfeld Club and was a charity
event, with the proceeds divided
between former Ziegfeld perform
ers in need of help and the Ameri-
can Theater Wing of the British
War Relief. Featured was a pa
geant of lace, tableauX and enter
tainment by stars who owe much
of their fame to the "FollieS." Lace,
however. was queen of the evening,

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Youngsters Must Finish Their
Education Before Marriage

enough for you to wait for you for a
couple of years you may be sure that
she is not the kind of wife you need
and want, and you should shed no
tears even if you lose her. There
are better fish in the sea than that.
That a wife is serious handicap
to a college boy is beyond discus
sion. 1t would be out of nature if a
young bridegroom thoughts and
interests were not centered more
on his bride than they were on his
books. His chief study would be her
moods and lenses instead of higher
mathematics, and he would spend
more time on billing and cooling
than he would in learning dead
languages.
And if you add to these distractions
the difficulty of trying to stretch
an income that was barely enough
for one over the needs of two, the
endless pinching OF pennies. the
anxiety over the rent, the sleepless
nights wondering how the grocery
bill is to be paid, you can see that
the poor young student has, in
deed, matriculated in the Univer-
sity of Hard Knocks and that about
all he is learning is to stand off
creditors.
Also, I think that in honor you
owe it to your parents not to marry
until you are in position TO sup
port your wife. They have worked
hard and done without many of
the luxuries and comforts they
would have liked to have had in
order to give you chance at an
education better than they had and
that will fit you. they hope, for an
easier life than theirs has been.
Surely you must realize that you
owe a debt of gratitude to them
and that it will be dastardly thing
for you to add to their hardships by
dumping your wife upon them to
support or doing anything that will
keep you from graduating with
honor and distinction.

Dear Miss Dix: I am an only son
of devoted parents who have made
every sacrifice to give me college
education, and I will graduate at
the end of two more years. Now l
have fallen in love with girl and
she insists that we get married this
summer, but my parents are urging
me to wait until 1 have finished
school, as have no way of support
ing a wife while a student. I am
quite willing to wait, but the girl is
not. Her argument is that as we
are both paying board We could
pool our money and live on it. She
seems disappointed when l say that
do not want to displease my
parents, as they are helping me to
prepare myself so that I can make a
better wage than my father has
made. What shall I do? Marry
now and take the chance that we
can get along on almost nothing.
hoping that our love will make up
for the lack of other things. Or
shall 1 insist on waiting until I am
through school, even at the risk of
losing her? J. D. l..

signers making fashion news right
and left.
All of which merely adds up to
the fact that American-made lace
is going to be increasingly important
to the fashion picture as interpreted
by the recently discovered" Ameri-
can designers.
The fashion accent is an inspira-
ton closely allied with this hemi-
sphere, even with our own 48 States.
For example, one of the most in
teresting style influences yet TO ap-
pear is that one which takes its
motif from Louisiana, interpreting
the country, people and mode OF
life in smart fashions. The other
day in a local store we had a look
at some of the clothes. including
those pictured on the page today,
and found that the whole story
behind them is the result of re-
search and study and understand
ing of the history of Louisiana.
Play clothes, street togs, evening
dresses, hats, bags and jeWelry are
included in this new trend. Out
standing are the colors, including
Marsh Green, Creole Red. Planta-
ton Yellow and Bayou Blue. FaS-
cinating are the print patterns,
which assume a special significance.
For example, "BouillabaisSe" is a
bright print with Holsters and other
sea motifs; "Coquette" features
fans and dueling pistols; jackson
Square" is an adaptation of the
famous New Orleans balcony grill
work, and "Mardi Gras" shows rib
bons and flowers.
The fabrics, happily enough, con-
centrate on pique, poplin, sheer,
dimity and waffle pique-all de-
lightful for summer wear. And an
other happy thought is in the
prices, which are surprisingly mod
est for such distinctive group Of
clothes.
Even the costume jewelry is a
direct tie-up with the prints. For
example, there are dueling pistol
lapel pins and earrings, gayly
colored enameled fans, bayou lily
pins with a glistening rhinestone
which looks like a drop of water
all these are appropriate and in
teresting conversation pieces" with
the Louisiana influence.

New Developments World Result Research
By Dorothy Murray

Remove accumulated dust from
folds and crevices of upholstered
furniture with a small sweeper" de-
vice made of non-breakable plastic
in three styles of materials and COL
ors. 1t is very easy to use, requiring
only quick side stroke. No hard
pressing Is necessary, for its own
weight is sufficient to pick up dust
particles. This miniature sweeper"
is also very easy to clean ....
With summer comes the vogue for
white shoes, and that means con-
tinuous cleaning of them. Make the
job easier by using a new automatic
applicator that fits snugly onto the
neck Of any polish bottle. 1t is easy
to use; simply turn the bottle upside
down and allow the polish to run
through the rubber brush This also
comes equipped with a square sided
brush which is used to remove
streaks. You will find this appli-
Gator extremely practical and mex

you into marriage before you are
ready for it. 1t is the most fatal
mistake that any boy can make and
almost invariably wrecks his whole
