By Josephine Lo,gman

Is your chin line a pain In the
neck? We cannot feed its tissue
from the outside. They are de-
pendent on our blood stream for
nourishment.
Whenever we bring an extra sup
ply of blood to the neck, we have
taken a step toward improving its
youthfulness. There are several diff
ferent ways OF doing this, and we
should employ all of them.
First, we can use one of the circu-
lation creams which whip the blood
up in that area. This should be
done several times a week. We can
stimulate circulation by patting
smartly with the hand. When you
do this you should hit firmly along
the jaw line under the chin. Begin
at the chin and work out toward
the ears. Do this daily.
General exercise helps, too. Many
women have turned the timetable
of age upside down doing the same
thing to themselves. The habit of
standing on the head for few mo-
ments each day promotes youthful
ness. When you do this, you bring
the muscles of the neck into play,
and also send a streamt tof blood to
your head
Improved posture, circulation
creams, daily patting, plus special
neck exercises. will give you un-
believable results. AS for the lines
on the neck, there are two things
to do. AS you improve your pos
ture, they will cease to deepen.
Also apply a rich. oily cream and
massage along theslines. using your
finger in rotary motion. Then
too. as the contour Of the neck fill
out, the creases viii tend - leoaen

Dear Mrs. Post. Does an invitation

mean that dinner will be served?
Answer: 1t would depend upon
the hour which is customarily that
of the evening meal. If most people
in the community dine at 8 o'clock
then it would certainly mean that
the reception would be an evening
meal. But if people take supper

Brilliance of Fall

Usual brilliance of fall foliage will
be drastically reduced this year be-
cause of the record breaking Sep
tember drought, F. A. Bartlett
pointed out today.
Fall coloring is always more bril-
liant when the change is preceded by
a rainy spell, he said. Rain hastens
the formation of the abscession layer
which causes the leaves to drop.
When the layer forms. chlorophyl

their green color. breaks down, and
other colors develop.
The unusual drought conditions
during the past month have caused
the leaves to brown and drop early
in many cases before the normal
reactions have had time to bring the
leaves to color.

Bv Leffice Lee Street,

IL LIZ if't Itt of'
Dear Mrs. STREET.: Have you any
suggestions to help in guiding child
who has just started stammering?
My little boy, 3la years old, has very
recently acquired the habit of re-
peating the first syllable of at least
one word in each sentence
Incidentally, two Of my brothers
developed the suffering habit at
about the age of and have never
overcome it. Is suffering heredl-
tary?
IT am truly heartsick every time
I hear the child falter over his
words. I have told him to speak
more slowly, take his time, etc, but
have not talked about the habit toe
definitely to him, for fear of the
psychological effect it may have to
make him all too conscious of 1t.
Your splendid articles are 50
helpful and practical and do ap-
preciate and enjoy them. Sincerely
yours, MIS-. -. M. -.
There are two most enCourag ging
facts that l hasten to tell you; first
doctors do not think that stammer-
ing is hereditary, and second, most
children go through not one. but
several temporary periods Of faulty
speech.
There is no one situation or con-
dition that causes so many children
to stutter. and among the numer-
Gus reasons may be: Imitation
shock, illness, extreme nervousness
distorted emotional patterns that
result in feelings of inferiority, in
security or fear.
Nor can it be said that any one
treatment can be depended upon to
help all children, and it remains for
the doctors and parents to be OBJ
serving and patient in their efforts
to find the best method for each
particular child.
Have you noticed if your child Is
right or left handed? Doctors urge
mothers not to attempt to change
a childs natural handedness. but to
encourage him to use one hand as
much as possible in all activities
1t does not matter which one it is,
so long as it is the one he prefers
The reason for this is that ambi-
dextrous children seem to stammer
more frequently than do single
handed youngsters. In the cases of
700 stammerers it was found that
81 per cent were ambidextrous.

Be Given for
Library Program

On Tuesday evening the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation in the
Library of Congress will sponsor a
memorial concert as a tribute to the
late Frank Bridge, eminent Eng
lish composer who died on January
II of this year. The program, which
will take place in the Coolidge au-
ditorium of the library, will be de-
voted entirely to Bridges music
and will include the String Quartet
in G Minor" the Sonata for Violin
and Piano. and the "SeXtet for
Strings" The artists to be heard at
the concert are the Coolidge quartet
(William Kroll, first violin, Jack
Pepper, second violin, Nicholas
Moldavan, viola, and Victor Gott-
lieb, violoncello), Rebecca Clarke,
viola, Sterling Hunkins, violoncello,
and Frank Sheridan, piano
For many years Frank Bridge was
closely associated with Mrs. Coolidge
and the Coolidge Foundation. A
number of his most important COM
positions were dedicated to Mrs.
Coolidge, and the Music Division
in the Library of Congress possesses
many of his original manuscripts.
In 1888 the annual Founders Day
concert on October 80, given regu-
larly by the Coolidge Foundation,
served as an occasion when Bridge
was signally honored. He received
on that day the Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge medal which is awarded to
distinguished figures in the musical
world for eminent services to
chamber music.

POPULAR Music

Decca has struck gold again. Its
flgurative nugget this time appears
in the form Of Ted Steele and his
so-called "Novatones' in set of
five records of Duke Ellington music.
"Novatones," as may be imagined,
signify an extensive use of that
relatively new instrument, the nova
chord. another of the Hammonds'
electrical contrivances which at a
distance resembles a piano but
sounds like combination of reed
and string instruments. Ted Steele,
one of radios fair-haired musical
boys, eXcels in operating this
silken-voiced music box, and in
the current album, where he has
a Hammond organ, guitar, piano and
bass for support, he gives a we'll
nigh perfect demonstration of his
prowess and the adaptability of the
instrument to popular music of
following melodic line. Ellingtons
soothing mood indigo style provides
highly suitable foil for the nova
chords soothing tone as will be
observed in the Dukes seasoned and
melodious compositions Il Let a
Song Go Out of My Heart" In a
Sentimental Mood" Sophisticated
Lady Mood Indigo" Solitude"
and Prelude to a Kiss"
Swing-All Varieties.
Richard Himber makes his official
return to the record fold with
discing (on Decca) of his theme
Failing in Love" which is backed
by Blue Moon" To those who re-
member the Champions of old-the
violins, chimes and ultra-smooth,
sophisticated arrangements - the
present Himber will be somewhat
disappointing. Like most bandmen
nowadays he leans toward swing,
which is all very well; but at the
same time he could do other than
damage his popularity by playing
straight sweet on occasions, such
as the sentimental Blue Moon"
After all, Jurgens and Newman
have an audience. Bobby Byrne
whips out his trombone and leads
his band through a satiny You
Walk By" What has T. Dorsey that
Byrne hasn't? Vaughn Monroe adds

Poetic Beauty.
The third and fourth movements,
'Of Youth" and "Of Beauty" are
contrastingly simple. The first of
these two could be called a lyric
scherzo in the symphony, while the
movement "Of Beauty" could be
said to be a ray of hope, a moment
where the artist finds forgetfulness
in the contemplation of the poetic
beauty which is always aroused by
the spectacle Of youth as its best,
at its happiest and gayest-even in
the soul of the confirmed pessimist.
But the fifth movement (another
Hymn to BacchuS" one could call
it, is a return to the desire for an
artificial paradise" by the unhappy
man who says: How can spring
concern me? Even though I hear
the bird singing, it is not for me.

simpler and shorter than the first
movement, does not have the nearly
mystic intensity of the initial music
of this symphony. 1t is peasant
like in its rusticity and its rhythmic
abandon. All the more poignant is
the penetrating mood of the Finale,
the dependence and interdependence
of the music and of the combined
two poems which serve as its text
Here Mailer sings his swan song
a long -drawn-out and deeply moving
| contemplative musical treatment of
the inevitable and final and long
lingering farewell. Here he touches
infinity-with an artists touch and
! an artists imagination.

Mrs. Watson, although a profess
sional pianist with a career of some
years of marked success, having
played in Europe and South America
as well as in the United States with
all the leading orchestras and also
recital programs, has been heard
only once with an orchestra in
Washington. That was several sea-
sons ago when she played with the
National Symphony Orchestra. She
expects to play later this season
with the Boston Symphony. Her
social duties have been such that
she has temporarily laid aside her
career since she and Maj. Gen.
Watson have made their home in
Washington, where the general is
aide to the President.
