Blouses and Snappy
Little Jackets Chic
Fashion Interest Is Centered On Them
Because Os Season’s Preference For
Suits Which Require Contrast
BY LISBETH
BLOUSES AND snappy iittle
jackets, attached to jacket frocks or
suits, have more than the usual am
ount of attention in fashion circles
this spring. The blouse situation is
due to the preference for the suit,
with Its separate skirt and bodice.
And the jacket theme is one of the
new notes in the same circles.
Both types are pictured in today s
fashion lesson. At the left is Miss
Blnnle Barnes, who is wearing a
very becoming and feminine little
boluse of creamy white crepe, with
collar and jabot edged with fine pleat
ing of the same material. They are
cut in one with the bodice and fast
ened with crystal buttons.
Crisp Blouses Much Worn
Crisp sheer blouses are going to be
worn a great deal this summer. With
a few very thin blouses the woman
who has invested in a smart suit will
be able to wear it well into, if not all
through, the summer. Chiffons, wash
able georgettes and printed triple
sheers, crisp striped marquisettes, or
gandies, dark rayon nets and other
thin materials are shown in many
pretty colors—flower colors preferably
—as well as white and ivory. For
the printed suit nothing is smarter
than the white or cream colored
blouse.
Sally Eilers, right, combines navy
and hyacinth blue which is a decided
ly 1936 union.
The costume In which she is posing
is from Vera West and shown at a re
cent New York style show. The hya
cinth blue jacket has a high lapel
neckline, caught with a bouquet, and
a bunch of the same posies trims the
back of her garden hat. The skirt is
navy, and also the accessories of shoes
and gloves.
White summer suits are expected
to follow the spring woolens. The
white summer suit will be man-tail
ored in the manner of the spring
tweed, if you wish, or it will be the
dressmaker type, If that is more be
coming. Jackets of these white suits
may be fitted, and beltless, or they
may have the bi-swing backs—pleat
ed. Single-breasted closing is gen
erally liked because summer suits are
often worn open. ’

MASSAGE
WITH A
TOWEL
By GLADYS GLAD
‘America’s Most Famous Beauty’’
Over in Arabia, ameng the desert
tribes, I am told, half a ponnd of
smooth, amber-skinned dates and a
pint of camel’s milk are' considered
ideal for an ordinary meal. In that
part of the globe, women have to
work hard in the intense desert, heat.
And this particular diet, while suffi
ciently nourishing to keep the body
healthy, also helps to keep those Ara
bian women lithe and slender.
I firmly believe that any woman
who wants to have a firm, slender
figure must work for it. It is only
the lazy, pampered woman who de
pends upon a masseuse to ktep her
body lithe and slender. Any woman
who permits herself to become fat,
and is then too lazy to give her diet
attention and to obtain sufficient ex
ercise, doesn’t deserve to have a
lovely figure.
Nevertheless, massage really is Mi
effective reducing agent. But it takes
off inches, rather than pounds, as it
breaks up fatty tissues locally. Mas
sage, you see, has somewhat the
same effect as a specialized exercise
concentrated on one particular part
of the body. It breaks down the fatty
tissues that lodge in that spot, and
stimulates the circulation to carry
away the residue.
Massage as a means of reduction,
of course, always is best when admin
istered by an efficient and skilled
masseuse, for there is too much dan
ger that the average amateur will
stretch the elastic skin around the
massaged parts and cause it to be
come loose and flabby. The massag
ing should be done scientifically, with
full knowledge of muscle and nerve
locations.
However, there is one method of
massage that helps to reduce locally
and yet can be employed by any aver
age woman without any detrimental
effects. It’s a method that is used
by quite a number of screen stars,
and it Involves the usa of an ordinary
turkish towel. To administer this
sort of massage, a large turkish towel
should be folded lengthwise four
times. Then it should be placed
around the part of the body that the
person desires to reduce, such as the
hips, back or like hardy parts of the
anatomy, and thne pulled rapidly
back and forth. This form of mas
sage helps to break up fatty tissues
locally and stimulates the circulation
to carry away the residue.
BRIDGE SUPPER GIVEN

Mother’s
Too Kind
To Youth
YOUNG FOLK BECOME
SELFISH AND LACK
CONSIDERATION
By GARRY C. MYERS. PH. D.
Head Department Parent Educa
tion Cleveland College, Western
Reserve University
THE FOLLOWING letter I pre
sent, somewhat disguised, to warn
young mothers against too great
self-sacrifice, and yet to encour
age those whose self-denials have
purchased innumerable opportun
ities for their children. You and I
don’t believe this mother was a
failure. Without her self-forgetful
ness how could her children have
reached their heights of education?
What a pity, on the other hand,
that her love had not been temper
ed with a little more of self-pro
tection so that her children might
have grown less selfish and more
appreciative of her!
“My dear Mr. Myers: Although
my children are no longer in the
adolescent class, there are times
when I think they still are —and
I feel the need of a little help.
First, may I give you a brief fam
ily history that you may judge bet
ter how I failed.’’
“I am past middle age. I do all
the work of a ten-room house as
well as mending and dressmaking

THE JACKET dress is a new term
of the last two or three years. Every
one wears there jacket dresses —the
young, the old and the middle-aged.
This year the jacket dress has
achieved new distinction. It is shown
in every fabric that is used for
dresses, and many times a plain
and printed material are combined.
Sketched are three silk jacket
dresses each of which would be an
excellent choice for the spring bride
or for any woman who is interested
in looking smart —and who isn’t?
The dotted sheer jacket frock is at

the past twenty years has been to
give my children the best possible
education and make them self-re

The education I have accomplish

ty-five) after high school attended

school, substituted in the public

ishness and jealousy.

“My friends tell me that if my

WOMEN VOTERS TO
FIRE AT SPOILS
SYSTEM GOVERNMENT
CINCINNATI, April 29 (TP)—
The spoils system in government
is the target at which the National
League of Women Voters will
shoot during the next year.
The league, meeting in its an
nual convention at Cincinnati,
adopted a reform program, which
calls for the passage of bills giving
local, state and government jobs
to those best trained for them
rather than on a political patron
age basis.
Eight hundred delegates from an
parts of the country were enthus
iastic in endorsing the “refoim
program” after it was outlined by
the league’s trained personnel cam
paign chairman, Mrs. George Gell
horn. of St. Louis.
Mrs. Gellhorn maintained that
new federal agencies should be put
under civil service requirements as
soon as they are born. The cam
paign chairman pointed out that
while the personnel of a newly
created government agency might
be of the best during its early
days, a change of administration or
dictatorship might see the efficient
workers ousted in favor of new job
holders chosen by patronage.
