When you visit the worlds screen

national slogan of Fill 'er up!" is
popular again-you may not see so
many stars on the streets as eX-
pected. but you will certainly clap
eyes on the most anonymous celeb
rites in the universe. And until
you get used to it, the experience
may be most bewildering
Here are you for instance. mind
ing your own business at Hollywood
and Vine and wondering if that was
Crawford or her double that just
went by in smoked glasses, when
you meet up with a woman who, you
could swear, used to be your cook.
You grin or nod-and she responds
amiably.
But you don't know her. In fact,
you never saw her before in your
life.
Then comes an old lady. She
looks like somebody's aunt. Maybe
your aunt. Why, you've known her
for 20 years, so you take off your
hat and bow, and she smiles back
sweetly-and suddenly you realize
that you have accosted a perfect
stranger.

are drum shaped toques. Some OF
the newest shapes remind one OF the

Among the most beguiling gad-
gets of the season are Schiaparelli's
braided and coiled coiffures OF black

Another accessory most visiting
Americans took away with them this
month is an umbrella. Partisan
women carry them like canes; they
have long crook handles and short
coverings of brightly patterned fab
ric. Some women even carry real
little canes with beautifully carved
handles. When one has to walk
miles every day, in thick-soled clogs
any aid to walking is likely to be-
come a fashion.
The clogs are most attractive and
show how Parisians manage to make
even a privation into something

nequins In several big houses wore
nylon stockings at this seasons op-

barelegged still, for even rayon
stockings are hard to find and very
expensive. The French nylons are
dyed beaver tone which blends
better with winter furs than the
apricot shade of prewar American
nylons.
Making a virtue of necessity Is
illustrated in Paris jewelry, too. Be-
cause metals are hard to get, artists
have worked out delightful ci1arac-
ters in multicolored bits of pottery
often held together with minuscule
scraps of metal. Harlequins, sere-

far different. She expects it to be
perpetual honeymoon, and If her
husband isn't continually acting the
role of the great lover, as they do
in the movies, she doubts his affec-
ton.
Nor do men and women have the
same category of virtues in mind
when they speak of a good husband
or a good wife. A man considers
himself a good husband if he is
sober, moral and housebroken, and
if he pays the bills without grum-
bling and takes his turn walking the
baby with the collie, he feels he de-
serves a medal for heroic conduct
over and above the call of duty.
But a wife's idea of a good hus-
band is a man who will take her
stepping, and tell her that every
day she gets more beautiful.
Similarwise a woman considers
herself a good wife when she keeps
within her budget, when she Is a
good cook and housekeeper, minds
the children and doesn't nag, while
a mans idea of good wife Is a
woman who possesses all Of these
virtues and still keeps her figure
and tells him how big and strong
and wonderful he is.
So is it any wonder, when hus-
bands and wives don't speak the
same languauge, that they can't un-
derstand each other?

started a couple Of years ago with
the braid coronets Balenciaga made
his mannequins wear, but the field
has extended now to all sorts of
false fronts and backs. What par
ticularly yearned for were two enor-
mously thick braids, each about a
foot long. One is worn right over
the forehead like a diadem, the
other dips to cover the nape OF the
neck. Ones own hair is brushed
smoothly back over the ends of
these braids, to hide them, where
they meet behind the ears.
You might prefer round toupee
about inches in diameter covered
with five or six chunky rolls OF curls.
Some wear this just over the fore
head like a tiny hat, others place it
on the back of the head and swirl
a coil around 1t in Grecian effect. :.
I didn't buy my two braids be-
cause they cost 1900 francs apiece,
or about $50, and ] heard my head

A popular cinema star has re-
Gently gotten divorce from his
wife because he claimed they did
not speak the same language. If
this establishes a precedent Cor the
breaking of conjugal ties, every mar
riage license might as we'll have a
divorce coupon attached to it, be-
cause husbands and wives rarely, if
ever, speak the same language.
For there is masculine language
and a feminine language, and even
when men and women use the same
words and phrases they mean such
different things by what they say
they might just as we'll be talking

30 many married couples complain
that their wives and husbands do
not understand them. They can't,
There is the barrier of a different
accent between them that they
can't break down, so they never
know just exactly what the other
one is thinking, or saying.
And this is what brings about the
curious domestic phenomenon that
we see so often of husbands and
wives who have to use the sign
language in proving their devotion
to each other. They can't tell it.
Neither one knows the word in the
others language for what they feel
SO they sit up in bored silence if
they are alone together, and get
into fights if they attempt conversa-
ton.
Yet they spend their lives toiling
and sacrificing to make each other
comfortable, and. are frantic with
anxiety if either one is Ill or in dam
ger. Making a gesture is the only
way they can tell their love, but
many woman would rather her
husband would give her a real warm
kiss than a diamond brooch, and
many starves for a compliment from
his wife while she stuffs him with
good food.
II you doubt that their not speak

tom of much of the nisunderstand-
ing between husbands and wives
think of the different interpreta-
tion that men and women put upon
such simple word as love- Wher
the average man tells girl he loves
her and marries her to prove it
he means that for some reason
known or unknown to him. he pre-
fers her to all other women ane
that he has assumed her board bill

POMEGRANATES.
From Mrs. f. G. S.,

For Mrs. e. w. M, Washington,
who wants to know how to eat or
use pomegranate.
At the time I first discovered
pomegranates in the market, I also
ran across way to serve them.
Since then I have experimental also
on my own. The simplest way to
eat them, and very attractive way,
too, is to cut the pomegranates in
half and then with fingers and a
sharp pointed knife, remove the
seeds and what pulp the is and
juice, being very careful to get none
of the skin or heavy membrane
forming the pockets in the fruit.
To the seeds and juice add the Juice
of one orange for each pomegranate,
sprinkle over 112 tablespoons of
sugar powdered If you have IT'D and
chill for an hour or so before serv-
ing, to blend the juices. Serve in
sherbert glasses as breakfast fruit
or as first course at luncheon or
dinner. IN eating, chew the seeds
until crushed. The flavor is delici-
GUS and the fruit very healthful.
I also use pomegranate seeds to
garnish a citrus salad or other fruit

I have also devised a fruit dessert

when I come across some OF the
brilliant red ones, I pick them up
and simply place them between the
leaves of a book. In this way they
will retain their lovely hues per-
fectly for years.
I also have a pressed pansy, the
largest I ever saw, which friend
plucked from her garden when I
was visiting in North Carolina sew

back in ancient history. In the Old
Testament they are referred to un-
der the name "Rimmon." The
Greeks and Romans used them in
all their feasts, and it was pone-
granate which Proserpine ate when
she was stolen by Pluto and taken
to his home in the Neither Regions,
according to Greek mythology. Be-
cause of the six seeds which she had
swallowed before Mercury came for
her release, she ever after had to
spend six months above the -arth
and six months below, thus bringing
about our seasons. I hope Mrs. e.

much as have.
