Millinery
By Wonito Wilson

Six easy lessons ]. Z. and you
can create that ultimate feminine
fantasy, that man-trap called a
hat! Time was when one learned
to make a professional looking
chapeau only by spending at least
a year in a professional millinery
school, or one could learn basic
construction sans styling in q COL
lege home economics class. Now
in six wholly practical lessons
Of two hours each, the YWCA
teaches how to turn out whooper-
docs that would grace a New York
shop In the High Fifties.
The Washington Y introduced
q six weeks millinery course short
ly after one was offered in New
York City. Like the original
course it was intended to satisfy
the urge for elemental artistic ex-
preston. The classes do not i'm
pose any rigorous ideas of taste,
but encourage each miss or ma
iron to express herself. The course
was based on a longer one at re-
nowned Pratt Institute simmered
to an essence. Then these .unda-
mentals were favored oy expert
ence from the workrooms Of Berg
dorf- Goodman, Hattie Carnegie
and other masters Of the mysteri-
Gus relations of felt-feathers-straw
and wolf whistles (audible or
swallowed). One woman told an
other =. now they are playing
to standing room only.
A Turkish woman who came to
learn said, 1T is always well to
have a golden bracelet in the
hand" Not just Americans, but
women from many lands and cir
cumstances have come to find that
golden bracelet. For one it might
be o happy expression Of creative
ability. for another, q means OF
paying the rent.
Many OF Europe's displaced were
drawn to the classes in New York
Tor they appreciate the value of q
trade. Many were titled women
but many more were Of Europe's
underprivileged. The CLEAN of
that golden bracelet lured them
on, and it has caught the eye now
OF Washington's Government gals
and congressional wives.
Washington Is a city of talk on
all levels. from the legislative, to
ponderousness Of governmental
procedure, to the whirling social
millpond. Washington women are
eagerly turning to a less vocal &C
tivity for relaxation and ind
themselves learning q creative
craft through the eye and the
primitive magic Of the hand.
Perhaps the pioneers who de-
veloped the course do not realize
what a whoppfng demand they
have unearthed and what posi-
bilities it could have for some one
who digs deep enough to find the
pot Of gold. Every time the idea
was presented it multiplied in a
reflected demand . like a per-
son walking into q room full of
mirrors 1t caught an ele-
mental desire wherever there were
women because there's nothing
like a new hat around the
house-or anywhere 1t will hypno-
tie the male.

BETSY CASWELL
mo TRESPASSING"
from Mrs F. d. H.,
TakonlG Park

To Mrs. S. B. M: It has been
told to me that a certain number
of feet on either side of the road
way belongs to the county or
State. and by paying high prices
for gas and oil. that money. tax
money, pays for the upkeep of the
roadway, so this would make each
citizen a part owner of said roads
just as we speak of the Govern
ment, we are all the Government
in this land of freedom.
I have seen signs In other Sec
lions of this country, where farm
ers invite motorists to come into
the fields and pick fresh corn on
the stalks for a cheaper price than
they would pay elsewhere. Every
one was happy about this arrange
ment and the motorists had real
fresh corn and the food wasn't
wasted by lazy or thoughtless
people who didn't care If 1t rotted
away. You must know, God never
intended for anything He grows
to be wasted, grown wild or other
wise.
1t is not for me to tell you how
TO run your life. But if folks want
wild grapes and are willing to
even pay for them, you should let
them pick them and you set a
price. or have them picked and
open a roadside stand as many
do in your neighborhood.
You bring to mind story I
read when I was young and going
to school, about a giant who had
a beautiful house and garden. The
garden was full Of fruit trees and
flowers and singing birds. which
the giant loved very much. A
highway ran along the side Of
the garden and people would stop
to look at its beauty. Soon chill
.dren were attracted to its beauty.
They came to hear the birds sing,
to smell the flowers and to pick
up and eat the fruit that had
fallen to the ground.
But soon the giant became
jealous Of the people looking at
his garden and so he chased the
children away and built a high
wall all around his place. Soon
winter came and all the trees
became bare. the birds few away
and the flowers died. It was so
dark and dreary inside of that
wall. for the sun never shone
inside. Spring came to the out
side world, but never came in
side of the wall. This went on for
a long time and it made the giant
very unhappy.
One day a little boy who was
playing with other children out
side Of the, wall. saw a crack in
the wall and went inside. The
giant saw the child and wanted
to know what he was doing there.
The child told him and also asked
the giant why the sun wasn't shin
ing In the Icy cold, bare garden,
when 1t was so beautiful and
sunny outside of the wall.
At first the giant couldn't I'M
derstand 1t but then he called his
men and ordered the wall to be
torn down. and as the wall was
coming down, the sun began to
shine, the trees to bud and the
flowers to bloom and even the
birds returned to sing. This made
the giant very happy and he in
vited the children in, to play as
long as they wanted.

COMMENT.
From Mrs. C.. D. McC.,
WnsJ1innf0n


From time to time I have OBJ
served that readers write in re-
questing where they may secure a
certain issue of a magazine or
newspaper.
If they will go to the Library
of Congress, to the Periodical
Room, which is on the street floor,
in the old building. or to the Peri
odical Room on the 5th floor of the
annex, they may request the par
ticular issue they wish, providing
they know the name and the date
of the publication. Neither mag
aZines nor newspapers may be
taken out Of the Library, of course,
but no objection is made to copy
ing the articles. I believe one can
even reserve the work until the
following day If the copying isn't
completed at one time.
For the people who request Ger
tain poems, of which they know
only one line or two, there are
books in the Jefferson Room in
the Annex. 5th floor, in which
the first lines are indexed in the
back Of the book and which will
give the page number on which
the entire poem appears. Assis-
lance from information desks can
be secured in finding any of these
publications.
The record of, and copies of
magazines and newspapers go
back many years, so one needn' t
feel that only current, or fairly
new issues are available. There
are copies of Goodhouskeeping
Magazine. for instance. that are
dated back to its founding, which
may be secured.
