Dorothy Dix Says
In Rearing of Children, Fathers
Rights Should Be Recognized
-Bdchrdch Photo.

ing, I would like to know your hon.
est and sincere opinion of girls who
write to us for few weeks and
then seem to forget us completely.
Why is it that they let us down
when we need their cooperation
most? One year and so many miles
shouldn't make a difference in their
sentimental feelings toward us.
After all, girls are an essential part
Of the defense program. They are
the backbone of this Army and have
a great deal to do in helping to
keep up our morale. What's the
matter with the girls?
SOLDIER.
Answer-Well, Soldier Boy, I ex-
pect the trouble is that most Of the
girls are not very gifted letter writ
ers. and after they have written you
a few times and told you how much
they miss YOU, and how lonesome
they are, and how they are looking
forward to your coming back, they
have about written themselves out.
1t isn't that they have forgotten
you or are any less interested in
you. 1t is just that it is an effort
to write and they put it of, forget
ting how anxious you are to hear
from home.
A good way to get them going
would be to send them a list Of
queries. Say please tell me about
so-and-so, or this and that, and
who's going with whom and all the
other gossip you can think of. After
all, that is the kind of letter that all
of us like to get, because we can
read what is happening in the
world In the newspapers, but what
we want to know is what is taking
place in Rabbit Track.

audience OvernOWed the Seatlng
space of the park, with several hun
dred turned away. Not only did
these couple Of thousand people
come to see and hear something
that was novel, but they enjoyed
it with a special kind Of enjoyment.
There is nothing exciting. dra-
matte or thrilling in the music the
Traps present or in their manner
of singing 1t. 1t is just sweet and
noble music sung with great SIM
plicity and with great artistry. None
Of the singers tries to rouse you with
long-held high notes, with great
volume of sound or any other of the
devices by which loud applause is
evoked. Nor is the music in any
way stirring or catchy, 1t is plain
and simple in comparison to that In
the modern idiom, although by no
means either plain in itself or sim
pie as to execution. And the marvel
is that those whose ears are tuned
daily to grandiose symphonic pro-
grams, to artist recitals OF the acme
Of perfection, to the noise and ex-
citement of swing music and its off,
springs, could be entranced by music
Of centuries past or that of peoples
not familiar to the general public.
The secret is, of course, the Traps
themselves. This family of mother,
five daughters and two sons. with
their priest-director, started singing
for their own amusement and have
become artists with an international
reputation. They are as unassum-
ing and sincere when on the stage
as If still in their own drawing room
with friendly. gracious attitude
toward their listeners such as they
might have for visitors at their
home. But they bring to their
public a seldom heard music, an
almost forgotten kind of music, and
many who hear 1t must feel a nos
talgia for the peace and serenity
Of mind 1t represents.
The singers were in better form
last evening without any Of the
worry regarding the weather that
last time was q disturbing element.
Dressed in native costume, without
any accompaniment, they sang a
program that followed the same
plan as that on Tuesday. Baroness
Maria Won Trapp made the an
nouncements again, explaining each

Here is q frock which will appeal
Immediately to the slim and young
who are constantly looking for orig
inal fashion ideas. Pattern No.
1429-B has a trick-which you will
find so individual that you will want
to use it for several frocks. The full
dirndl type skirt has pinafore-nke
straps leading from the waistband
which go halfway up the front of
the blouse and attach with buttons.
Leave OF the straps (for a second
version) and you have a simple,
casual two-piecer which will take q
prize for its charm and youthful
ness. The shirtwaist top has q mar
row rolled back collar which may be
faced with the contrasting fabric Of
the skirt.

quantity figured wool skirt and plain
top. Make 1t again for parties In
