Nine. Adrienne Here
For Consultation

There must have been dozens of
times when you, and every other
woman, wished the manufacturers
would produce some article of
clothing for which you've been
frantically, and hopelessly search
ing. Maybe it was a special kind
of purse or a particularly tricky
glove, but with Nine Adrienne it
was braSsiere that would give
her the firm, smooth contours of
a Venus de Milo-a brassiere which
just was not to be found.
The only difference in this little
story is that while you and I only
wish for a certain item, Nine.
Adrienne did something about it.
Finding no braSsiere which suited
her, she sat down at her sewing
machine and made one, after 16
attempts to get just what she
wanted. And this led to her career
as designer and her recognition as
an expert in the fitting and styling
of "unmentionables.
Her specially designed braSsieres
are suitable for every figure type.
Young girls find their correct sup
port helpful in preserving youthful
contours; older women like the fea-
lures of support, too, as well as their
cleverly deceptive lines.
Nine. Adrienne has many of the
Hollywood stars as clients for these
exceptional garments, but she says
that Sylvia Sidney is her pet be-
cause she's real problem" Miss
Sidney is as slim as reed at
waistline and hip, yet very full
bosomed.
The attractive young designer
will be in a local store today and
tomorrow to help shoppers with
their figure problems. She will
show them the newest types of
brassieres and discuss with each
the style best suited for her figure

Having Talent for Motherhood
Is Wife's Greatest Asset

A correspondent asks what
qualities a woman should have to
make her a good mother. Well, I
think that, first of all, she should
have a talent for motherhood and
liking for her job. Contrary to
popular belief, not all women possess
these. There are plenty of women
who have borne half dozen babies
who are merely physical mothers
They have not a spark of the spirit
of real motherhood toward their

four or more at time. String bean;
60 we'll with beetS or carrots cut ir
julienne strips; caulifloWer, peas
spinach and stewed tomatoes form
an interesting dish; asparagus, peas
corn, potatoes and carrots make an
other, as shown in the Illustration
You may serve these vegetable
medleys" right along with the meat
course, as you would an ordinary
single vegetable-or you may elect
to go fancy" and accompany the
meat with a crisp green salad, using
the vegetable combination as a
separate course, when it should be
served with a delicious Hollandaise
sauce. If you like cold cooked veg
etables-and mighty good they are,
too-come summertime, have them
we'll chilled, and pass good vinai-
grette sauce with them.
Cheese sauce, too, is good with hot
vegetables, if you are tired of the
plain creamy kind You might try
dressing up the vegetables with a
sauce made from condensed canned
mushroom soup-and if you are us
ing up leftover mushrooms, they
will bring the flavor of the dish to
perfection.
For a light luncheon, form your
combined cooked vegetables, hot, in
a ring, with poached eggs in the
center, and, if you wish, strips of
crisp bacon crisscrossed on top. Or,
for a hot day, inclose cold cooked
vegetables in a ring of tomato aspiC
into which slices of hard cooked
egg have been nodded.
The main thing to remember is to
combine those vegetables that will
give variety in both color and tex
ture. An all-white vegetable platter
Is as dull. looking as an all-green
one; you certainly wouldn't put yell
low squash, carrots and golden ban
tam corn alone together in one dish.
Texture is just as mportant-peas
and lima beans, for instance, are
not only both green, but have much
the same mealy consistency. Beets
and carrots, unless set off by other
ingredients, would not afford a par
ticularly interesting combination.
To give added flavor to any veg
etable combination, you might add
a few fresh, finely chopped herbs,
such as chives, thyme, basil or sweet
marjoram. And any of the follow
ing sauces will turn those various
leftovers into an epicurean delight:

out well If possible, get an antique
dining room table. There is nothing
that lends more grace to this room
than a fine table. But if it is not
in good condition by all means get
a reproduction. The antique one
may be given a heat-proof, liquid
proof top and be just as practical
as a new one. Dining chairs are
hard to find in antique, likely to be
wobbly and usually expensive. Fine
reproductions of any period may be
purchased, and these will be thor
oughly useful and decorative. Most
antique beds are out of proportion to
preSent-day room dimensions and
usually demand specially made
springs and mattresses to fit them,
which runs your costs way up. Sc
lect a nice reproduction and then
use antique chests, mirrors, chairs
and small things to take off the
new" effect. Generally speaking
it is we'll to have antiques for all the
small things within reach, such as
small accessories, lamp bases, pic
lures and frames, mirrors, and all
the other decorative items that trim
a room Also, the important pieces in
each room, such as the sofa and big
chair in living room, the chest OF
drawers in bedroom and the afore-
mentioned dining table should be
antique. Beyond that you may
sandwich in the reproductions with
out making them noticeable. Watch
the finish on the reproductions and
be sure you have what is known as
an "Old World" finish, which is a
satiny, hand-rubbed surface.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have two lots
offered me on which to build a
house. One slopes severely at the
back and l understand it will cost
a good deal to have it leveled off,
though l like it the best. The other
is perfectly fiat, but in clearing it
they removed all the trees and it
seems to me unintereSting, though
I would like to save the expense
of grading which the other would
demand Do you think we could
make the fiat one interesting with
some good planting? D. j.
Answer-You will find that plant
ing your grounds for good effect
will cost almost as much as grad
ing, so I would not let the cost of
this carry too much weight. You
should be able 10 get piece of
ground with grade difficulties cheap
er than one without them, and
then if you place your house cleverly
on the hillside you might be able
to utilize the falling ground at the
basement level for a terrace. AS
you evidently are convinced Of the
interesting possibilities of the slop-
ing lot, l would suggest that you
try to get that one cheaper and
see what your architect can do about
placing your house to make use Of
the changes in grade. You may find
that you can get something most
distinctive at less cost.

Shadow of the Thin Man Supported By Cast, of
 COmedy.Wise Players

M-d-M's "Thin Man" pictures have always set record for witty, so- phistieated entertainment, and Shadow of the Thin Man." newest of the series, which opened yester. day at the Loew Poll Theater with William Powell and Myrna Loy again cast aS Nick and Nora. Charles, proves no exception.
 Showing the sure touches of Ma. jor w. s. Van Dyke II, the direc- tor who has piloted all the previous Thin Man" dramas to success, and knowingly cast with a group of comedy-wise supporting players, among them Barry Nelson, Donna Reed, Sam Levene, Alan Baxter and Henry O'Neill, the new episodes of the detective and his scintillating wife in no way falters on the path of true comedy-drama.
 Shadow Of the Thin Man" starts with an apparent murder of a race track. A variety of suspicious char actefs are involved, including two rival newspaper men, the head of the State Athletic Commission, ( big shot gambler, c betting com- missioner and the latter's blonde girl friend. The mystery gets into a seemingly insoluble muddle until a young reporter friend of Nickis Is arrested after Q second murder. This brings Powell, as Nick Charles, into the case and he uses his own distinctive methods to bring the real murderer to light.
 Powell Is complete master of his detective role, and Miss Loy, as the wife, who refuses to leave his side even when her presence is acutely embarrassing, is, as usual, perfectly cast. A new member of the family Is introduced in Dickie Hall, play ing the Charles infant now grown to toddler age, and it is a toss-ur as to whether young Master Hall or that irresistably funny dog, Asta, try harder to steal the scenes from the stars.
 No report of Shadow of the Thin Man" would be complete without mention of a wrestling bout which ends with the wrestlers tumbling inc to Miss Loy's lap. It is without doubt one of the most hilarious episodes ever screened.
 On the same program is another smash hit. Moon Over Her
