FOR BRIDE-TO-BE?

(From Mrs. r. r., SilDer Spring.
I have just been asked to be
matron of honor at a large church
wedding, February 20. Do any OF
you have suggestions as to what ]
can do for the bride-to-be, lunch
con, shower or what? I shall appre-
ciate receiving any answers as soon
as possible.
LONGER SKIRTS.
(Fron Mrs. C. r. B., Falls Church,
Regarding longer skirts: Could
this be wholesome reaction against
the often disgracefully short skirts
our women had to wear while serv-
ing as WACS, WAVES and In
other military services? I don't
wear them sweeping the dust, either
but, after all, few, individuals re-
tain a beautiful popliteal area after
they emerge from childhood. A
couple of extra inches of skirt
length will result in added grace
and dignity.
TRANSMITTING LETTER.
(From Mrs. N. J. S., WashingtonJ
To Mrs. L. j. D.: Congressional
Library will translate your letter
from Holland, but call first for an
appointment. I had a similar prob
lem some time ago, and received

THE GRASSHOPPER AND
THE CRICKETS.
A grasshopper once had a game Of tag
With some crickets that lived nearby.
But he stumped his toe, and over he went
In the twinkling of an eve.
CHORUS.
Tag, tag, I've got your tag
But my fingers are crossed
And you can't tag me;
Tag, tag. etc. (repeat above three lines).
The crickets leaned I'D. against the fence
And laughed till their sides were sore,
But the erasshopper said, you are laugh
ing at me
And won't play any more"
CHORUS.
So of he went, though he wanted to stay,
For he was not hurt by the fall;
And the gay little crickets went on with
the game
And never missed him at all.
This is cute song and game for
primary children.

As a matter of fact, they have
two tales to tell for Angel and

de Maupassant's racier anecdotes.
One of these is the story of Boule
de Suif (Ball of Fat), woman of
spirit-quite public spirit-whose
patriotism made her humorously

The other piece of de Maupassant
in this strange alliance Is Mile.
Fiji" an ironic account of a German
lieutenant whose romantic conquests
came to an end when he met Boule
de Suif.
De Maupassant's artistry and the
drama of the film are considerably
better in the first narrative. This
is forthrightly broad and bawdy
and as French as is onion soup when
it is good. The others impulse to
satire In the second piece betrays
him into turning his Germans into
the same arrogant caricatures which
brought contumely upon Hollywood
in a later day.
"Angel and Sinner" was obviously
made under technical difficulties its
producers could do nothing about
either through lack of money ano
materials or a surplus Of too many
Germans on the scene. In settings
costumes and photography it Is
almost totally barren, and its sound
recording equipment intimates that
absolutely nothing else was avail
able.
This did not depress Producer
Louis Wips unbearably. He and his
French actors get right into the
spirit of de Maupassant and go tt

days before patriotism scores Its odd
upset victory and honor emerges
