DISCUSSING the new Decca AL
- bum of the tunes from "Holi-
day Inn" press chief Ed Manning
says. Never before have Berlin's
coffee and Sandrich been respon-
sible for so much enjoyment"
Omitting the powie punning. he
was referring to the hashery dis
cussion from which Irving Berlin
and Mark Sandrich developed the
idea for the new pic with Bing
Crosby, Fred Astaire. Ginny Dale.
and lovely Marjorie Reynolds.
Decca, who has principal stock
holder by the name Of II. Lillis
Crosby, really went the whole hog
on this one. Crosby. his brother
Bob. Astaire, John Scott Trotter,
the Music Maids. and the Ken
Darby singers stretch the tonsils
for IL sides of the 13-tune score,
designed to cover all the holidays
of the year except Labor and Dec
Grafton Days.
This Is the first time I've ever
really tired Of hearing Crosby bling.

Cleverest side in the whole al
bum is I'll Capture Your Heart" a

it has seemed to me for a long
while that his tunes are "deriva-
tive" That Is. that he has for the
past few years been rewriting his
classic hits - of which there are
plenty. This doesn't mean that he's
written out: It means that all these
new tunes seem to have reminis-
cent tinges Of past Berlin scriptings.

TUNES. Otherwise there are not
many noticeable changes.
The jumper idea has met with
such favor that it will be carried
on. The usual arrangement is to
have the underblouSe, including
sleeves. match the skirt, the jumper
itself being Of novelty fabric.
Don't forget that the combination
of velveteen with wool is warmly
approved. And there's rayon CAB
ardine two-piece dress with match
ing Stacks that is going to school in
vast numbers.
Separate skirts are also quoted
as very popular in the trouser
Style-that is. with the center kick
pleat and stitched cores on each
side. One Of the best fabrics in it is
a soft herringbone wooden. with a

For obvious reasons, everyone is
hoping that the college girl will
give the sweater right off her back
for victory. but be 1t said that she
regards 1t as one Of her greatest
contributions to. the cause. II she
can't have a wool sweater. what
can she have to take its place? The
answer is that she'll have to choose
the jumper. the sleeveless tunic
the blouse on the Jacket.
A whole series Of so-called COM
bat styles. taken from the clothes
worn by hard-fighting men in SER

don't 60 with girls. I don't care for
them"
If Uncle were in a mood to take
the youth seriously. he might have
asked the youth what his interests
were. Instead he foolishly said.

that" The boy didn't know what
to say to this. Sensing his puzzle

Uncle had carried his little joke far
enough. father explained for his
son. Robert is quite serious about
not caring for girls. That is, he does
not care for them very much as yet.
but in time I'm quite sure he will
find them more and more attrac-
tive"
Uncle seemed satisfied to let the
matter rest here. Robert and his
father exchanged. a look OF under
standing, for fathers simple. forth
right statement had put into words
for the youth something which he
felt but had been unable to express
himself. When young fellow says
that he doesn't care for girls and
insists upon 1t over and over again.
you can be sure that he Is begin
ming to experience some doubt as
to his precise stand on this score
and that he is trying to make him
self believe that it still is SO.
The beginning of the girl age,
is a stage of development through
which every boy must pass. Yet
when he AYERS that he doesn't care
for girls, how many parents would
be as frank as Roberts father in
admitting that they expect him to
find girls more to his liking in
time? To do this is to confirm an
attraction for the opposite sex
which the boy already may be be-
ginning to feel, and about which he
may be experiencing some doubt.
The parents appreciation Of the
child's dilemma helps him through
that difficult transition from the
gang to the girl stage.
This intelligent father recog-
nized that his son was on the verge
of growing up II. in the process
the son should find himself in need
of advice. you can be sure that the
father will have his confidence.

Frank Is
Noted Speaker
In S. America
BY TALBOT LAKE

IN B U ENOS AIRES recently
Waldo Frank. the writer. was
told to leave that country. While
the people of Argentina as whole
have pro-Ally leanings. many OF
the potent powers favor the Axis.
On the day following the order.
Waldo Frank was set upon by six
FasciSts and severely beaten.
The beating will do the Axis
Power adherentS more harm than
good, for Frank is widely read and
much esteemed by the South
Americans. He has always had. for
many years before We thought Of
it, an idea of interdependent rela-
tons between the continents OF
North and South America. Many Of
the forty books of which Frank is
the author have expressed this
idea. While he is not so widely
known in this country he has lee
tured extensively in South America
and is known by thousands of peo-
pie who have heard him speak. The
shock OF the attack on him is
therefore greater in the Americas
than it is here.
Frank was born in Long Branch.
N. j., in 1889. His father was a law
yer interested in reform move
ments and his mother a unsteady
gifted lady from Alabama. His first
novel was written when he was
only sixteen. but his father wisely
withdrew it from publication. He
went to Yale, was something Of a
rebel, wrote dramatic criticism for
the New Haven Journal-Courier
and was graduated with an ABB.
and AM. degree. plus a Phi Beta

He went to New York, worked on

city and spent some time ranching
in Wyoming. He founded maya

turn. but it was in circulation for
but a year. In 1916, the author
married Margaret Naumberg. the
founder of the Walden School in

the application of psychoanalysis
to education. They had son.
Thomas. The marriage broke up in
a divorce and Frank remarked in
1927 His present wife is the former

They're Thrifty,
Hearty, Easy
BY JUDITH WILSON

livery housewife who is faced
IL with the task of preparing
three meals day must do so with
greater economy, nutrition and
speed these days than ever before.
And it isn't always easy. That S
why it is good to know that all
three aims - economy. nutrition
and speed-can readily be achieved
in certain one-dish meals, such as
Lamb Stew with Bran Dumplings.
and Shrimp and Biscuit Pie tsee
recipes below The biscuit topping
Of the latter makes 1t the bread as
we'll as the main course. Such
meals are veritable gems for cut
ting down on kitchen police duty.
Speaking of KIP. duty. there's a
lesson for homemakers in the
knack which some Army mess SER
geants develop for short cuts. The
lone bowl trick" is an example.
They use one bowl for mixing all
accessories for the meal. 1t serves
for mixing bread. stuffing for the
meat. then swish 1t out and dry
and it's ready for French dressing
for the salad. Give 1t another rinse
and it's ready for blending flour
and water for gravy. Clean up as
you CO." is their motto and there is
much to be said for the system. In
general. homemakers use too many
bowls and gadgets.

shouldn't need an expert to point
them out.
What about your size? The tall
girl is apt to be unhappy about her
height. the short one wishes she
could be taller. the chunky one
wants to be slim. and in many cases
little can be done about 1t. except
with clothes.
If you are tiny, don't think you
will look taller if you wear lots of
ruffles and frills or If you wear
your skirts too long! You will lose
the charm of a dainty figure and
simply look sloppy and untidy.
Choose cute clothes with simple
lines and wear your shirts short
enough to show nice legs and make
the picture as whole harmonious.
Hair Off Neckline
Take your hair of your neckline
with an easy-to-care-for medium
cut or with really short hair that
curls over the top Of your head and
adds height. Pep it up with bright
ening rinses If it's color is drab. and
wear cute little hats and berets
that can be tipped at a daring an
gle. Bolero jackets and little round
or turned-back collars will be fiat
tering. See that everything you
wear is carefully fitted. A slim
waistline and dainty ankles are an
asset, so watch your diet. If you
are tall and slim. choose the heavi-
er fabrics for your dresses and have
them beautifully tailored. Choose
dark or quiet colors and then make
them striking with big pouchy
bags. big hats. dramatic costume
jewelry. Wear your hair fairly full
and arrange it for striking effect.

more striking appearance and incl
dentally to raise your own self
confidence. Build up every good
angle you have and tone down your
failings.
First requirement Is full-length
mirror. preferably near a window
where you get a good strong nat
ural light. Use it every time you put
on daytime or evening clothes. and
when you add your hat. 1t isn't
enough to choose hat that fiat
tiers your face; it may be to tiny
for your figure and make you look
pin headed. or it may be topheavy.
Experiment With Clothes
Have a good hand mirror that
you use every time your makeup
and hairdo is complete as welr as
when you survey yourself in the
long mirror. Look from one side to
the other and see which is best. No
one has perfect face from all an
giles. Your hairline may be prettier
on one side or the hair curl away
more Interestingly. Then tilt your
hat to the opposite side to show
the incest part.
Experiment with the clothes you
already have to guide you in future
buying. Try your dress without a
belt to see If your waistline seems
simmer. Try wearing the collar Of
your blouse turned down outside
your suit to make your face seem
more slender and accent a pretty
neck.
Give the back view careful study.
Is your skirt the right length for
your figure as whole? Is it right
for the kind Of legs you have?
Should you check up on diet and
try swimming or exercise to make
your legs more shapely?
How do you look with your last
winter or early spring hat? We
cannot afford to throw away any,
thing that is in wearable condition
when we are at war and everything
we can save helps lick the enemy!
II 1t was good hat to start with.
perhaps you can make it more flat
tering by having your hair styled
to newer and nicer lines.
Do not let any one detail throw
you of. Study your figure as a
whole. Unless you are aware Of
your shortcomings you cannot shop
intelligently. II you have too-nar-
row shoulders. wide hips. thick
neck or a scrawny one. remember
each of these faults can be camou-
tagged by the right clothes and you

SoiIed Puffs
Hard on Skin

GIRLS WHO are afflicted witht
NJ blackheads and skin erup-
tions should chuck away their
powder pads or have so large a
supply that a clean one can be
used every day.
If you feel that a flock of
pads is an extravagance-it isn't,
because they are cheaper getting
small ones by the dozen-get
yourself wide squatty glass jar,
fill il with squares of absorbent
cotton. Use a new one every time
you make yourself new face.
Cotton doesn't force dust into
the pores as will pad. You can
fluff on the powder lightly, and
the effect will be more natural
and velvety than if it is ground
in.
While we are on the subject
Of blackheadS we would like to
suggest to the afflicted ones
that they pay more heed to the
balanced diet.
If they will eat less fat foods
the sebaceous glands will not be

MORE work TO do in the home
IVA and less time TO do it is the
trying experience Of many
women these days as they plan
to give more time to defense
duties.
While cleaning is a basic job
and cannot be skimped, there
are plenty of shortcuts that do
help to simplify things a little
when it comes to the general
running of the household.
Every woman has some pet
idea and we have collected a
few from our friends.
One woman is great believer
in doing odd jobs the last thing
at night. She goes through the
living room. emptying ash trays,
wiping tables, collecting glasses,
coasters, Strengthening maya
zines, collecting evening papers
and generally gives the room a
clean look.
She says that the sight of an
untidy living room in the morn
ing unnerves her for the day.
This evening tidy-up she in
sists takes but a few minutes
and it is worth every bit of the
effort.

Bulletin Board

A good notion is a bulletin
board or a large slate in the
kitchen.
Cover a large board with baize
or felt, have at hand thumb
tacks and a supply of scribble
paper and the family or the
maid will soon learn to look on
the board for household news
and reminders. II such memo
randum board isn't feasible, then
how about a slate with chalk
and sponge?
There is little chance of for
getting anything important once
you have made it habit to jot
down everything on the slate.
