again in suit jackets with plain skirts
and In shirtwaist dresses. Newest
Of the stripes are the thin Roman
striped wool jerseys that Norell uses
to make the tops Of suits and the

8. COATS PLAY A PRETTY
ACCOMPANIMENT. Goats play a
pretty accompaniment to the spring
fashion song. Look out for short
toppers this spring. They'll be
everywhere-and that means the
bright, soft swagger for day and
evening, the gay and decorative

spring, the briefest OF box coats and
Hattie Carnegie's honey Of q satin
coat for day or evening.
8. THE NIGHT IS SHORT OR
LONG FOR DRESSES. For spring
evening festivities. you can have
your dress short or long. II you take
a short cut, your dress may be sleeve
less or 1t may have the pretty oval
neckline. Look out for the camou-
haged day-dinner suits that are de-
corous by day with Jackets and
low decolletage by night with jacket

you choose the long road to chic,
look for q slinky affair with front
slit skirt. More anon! But these
are the "lookouts" for spring!

Last week at New York's Hotel
Plaza, the New York Dress Institute'
gave q "star" party. reception and
fashion show to wind up q weeks
showings Of dress collections for the
out-of- town fashion editors (yours
truly included.
The fashion show presented a
galaxy Of star attractions FASH
ions that had been chosen as the
important ones that will shine on
the spring horizon. Here they are
nine of them-trends to watch for
this spring, fashions to look out for
when you're planning your own
spring wardrobe:
/. DRESSMAKER SUITS ARE
BIG NEWS! Biggest news of all
are those with the short jackets
and boxy ones. Look out for the
box jacket suit with Roman-striped
overblouse, for Adele Simpsons
Stroller" for 10 Copeland's knock
ont dandy suit and the diminutive
fitted Jacket with its fullness but
toned in. Look for the bolero suit
such as the one photographed-and
the softer costume with waistcoat
overblouse. In fact, watch the
waistcoat-it's an important spring
highlight!
2. SILK SUITS" ARE CRISP
AND CHIC! II you want dress-up
suit, keep in mind that crisp silk"
ones are good-such as the raw silk
model with stripes stitched on or
the jaunty bolero of faille or the
more sophisticated alpaca dinner
job.
3. LOOK BACKWARD THIS
SPRING! Lots of the news and in
terest in spring fashions will be in
the rear. You'll see-and be seen
in-skirts that dip or drape over
the derriere. in peplums that ripple
gently, in dresses with their own
scarfs and that stream dramatically
and slenderly down the back.
4. TALL TORSO LOOK FOR
SPRING! Keep your eye peeled for
the tall torso look-and also the
sleeveless look. They're typified and
dramatized in long-bodied jumpers,
also sleeveless sweaters that can be
worn with or without blouse. BY
all means, don't miss Norman
Norell's white wool jersey sleeveless
dress with scarlet jacket, new for
day or evening.

Dorothy Dix Says

A psychologist, who must have
scant personal knowledge of the dis
positions and ways of women, re-
Gently asserted that mother love was
the only love that had no jealousy
in it. Far be it from me to question
the conclusions of such an eminent
scientist, but wonder where he was
when Mamie had her first beau and
it dawned on Mother that her dar-
ling child was more interested in a
little freckle-faced boy than she was
in her; or when Tom broke the bad
news that he was going to get mar
ried; or Grandma took possession of
the baby and practically shouldered
its mother out of the nursery?
Why. women are the jealous sex
and any one of them who is bern
without green eyes could get job in
a museum as freak of Nature and
people would come miles to see her.
Furthermore, women don't conflne
their jealousy to the tender passion.
or to people. They extend it to things
and all the minutia of life. and it
gives them more headaches and
heartaches than anything else in
the world.
OF course, wifely jealousy is such a
common complaint that we expect
every married woman to have it..
With cause, or without. No matter
how homely and dull and boring a
man may be, nine times out of ten
his wife Is obessed with the mania
that every woman who sees him is
trying to take him away from her.
About the first thing man learns
after he gets married is never to
praise another woman to his wife,
and especially never to say a kind
word about his secretary. One OF
the reasons why there is so little
conversation in our homes is be-
cause husbands dare not open their
mouths for fear of putting their feet
in them.
It is jealousy that is at the bottom
OF the in-law trouble, over which
women have shed enough tears to
float the Queen Mary. Mother simply

Ab! Spring.!

1t may be wishful thinking,
but we thought we saw the first
signs Of spring at the opening Of
kiss and Tell" at the National
Theater on Monday night. The
three or four notes opening the
spring song were bright little
hats bravely fighting for place
among q welter Of sequins.
There was, for example, a de-
lectable confection Of strawberry
pink roses on lime green felt hat
looked good enough to eat. And
then there was an ex1uisitely
coiffed silver haired latty who,
when she walked down the aisle,
seemed to be wearing a simple
black band with one bow resting
near her ear, only to startle
winter-weary audience, when she
sat down, by burst of brilliant
beading in snood effect sus-
pended from the band. So deco
rative was this and so good for
our spring hungry soul that we
almost said thank you" to the
pretty lady.
At this point we give the gen.
tlemen hand, too-that is, those
who had the courage to break
out in their Christmas gift ties.
They were springlike bright spots
in sea Of uniforms and dark
suits. One white-haired, unin-
hibited male wore a pale blue
shirt with dark blue suit, star
ting his nice conservative suit
and us-with his tie that was
frank and unblushingly pink and
red roses on white ground.
Once this caught our attention
we couldn't help spotting others
that, all in all, convinced us
spring can't be far behind. Ell.

If you like the attractive nursery
wallpaper borders, set these on the
wall, like a dado, above the height
where your toddler can reach them.
They help to break the height of
the room and make it more in scale

Another good plan is to use one
of the washable wall fabrics for the
lower part of the wall and use a
light shade of one of the colors Of
the fabric in paint for the upper
wall and the ceiling.
Make the curtains as simple as
possible: white muslin or washable

would be best.

can't bear the thought that some
mean, scheming adventures, by
underhanded and nefarious ways,
has kidnapped her innocent, trusting
little boy, who is only 80 years old,
and is going to take him away from
her and marry him. She knows that
the way a man feels towards his
mother and the way he feels towards
his wife do not conflict any more
than his fondness for both roast beef
and ice cream but she wants to be
all-in-all to him. She doesn't want
any other woman to have any part
in his life whatever. And so she
carries a knife in her sleeve where
she can get at it handy for his wife.
And, as the daughter in law recip-
rocates these sentiments, they start
a family feud that keeps them both
miserable and wrecks the happiness
of the man over whom they fight.
If you should tell mothers that
their jealousy is what makes them
shut their fathers out of their chill
dren's lives and is responsible for a
lot of juvenile delinquency. they
would bitterly deny the charge. But
it is true, nevertheless. Many moth
ers are so monopolistic, so deter

them best, that they practically
never let the youngsters get ac-
quainted with their fathers, or per-
NIT their fathers to have any hand
in rearing them.
Haven't you known mothers who
would slip extra money to children
when their fathers were attempting
to teach them how to handle an al

ers who would connive at their chill
dren doing things that their fathers
had absolutely forbidden, until
Fathers discipline was made a
mockery?
You have. Plenty of them. And
you have seen many broken
hearted father paying the wayward
children, who were the victims of
their mothers jealousy, out of the
scrapes they had gotten into.

I am not surprised at the argu-
ment, as there is no doubt the sub
ject of antiques is nebulous, to say
the least. Mr.. Webster. among other
definitions, gives us "old, as respects
the present age or modern time" "
So, with this leeway you could make
almost anything antique Most an
tique dealers consider ANYTHING over
100 years old in the antique class.
The customs officials use made
before 1880" as reasonable guide.
This should give you a picture of
an acceptable rule. But there is
another meaning which should not
be lost. This is the one of quality.
Treasuring and preserving antiques
is a rather silly business on the
basis of age alone. There should
be fine workmanship, beauty, es-
thetic merit and quality of ma
terial to justify survival.

request for a definition-but it will

About two weeks ago, a reader

my solution of the problem might

I had pair of strong wooden
handles left from a wornout knit
ting bag. They are large enough to
90 over my hand, so that I can get
good grip on them. I looked every
where for a remnant of strong
tapestry long enough to make bag
deeper than the ordinary knitting
bag. The usual sample squares are
not long enough, and the remnants
usually found in stores were very
wide, more than needed, also ex-
pensive. I finally found just what
