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. ’ Frances Sizer Becomes Bride Os Ted Husing, Radio Announcer Creating much social interest is the announcement of the marriage of Miss Frances Sizer, daughter of Mrs. John H.

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 . AT ST. PAUL’S CHURCH Three organizations of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church gave a bridge supper last evening at the Church, 34th and Abercorn streets.

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.

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 left—an acetate sheer. It comes for two girls, in spite of the fact that 1 am handicapped by rheumat ism, high blood pressure, and ex hahsted nerves. My own aim for the past twenty years has been to give my children the best possible education and make them self-re liant. The education I have accomplish ed, but the self-reliance is weak. My husband (a retail grocer) works hard from seven in the morning until late at night. His in come never has been great. “My eldest daughter (now twen ty-five) after high school attended a private kindergarten training school, substituted in the public schools winters, and took two sum mer courses at Columbia, and last June graduated from Teachers’ col lege. Her besetting sins are self ishness and jealousy. Son Fourth In Class “My son (twenty-three .years old) attended M. I.

She resents any criticism . . . She is a junior at , standing well in her studies. “My friends tell me that if my children are inconsiderate, selfish and thoughtless, I have only my self to blame, that I worked for them and waited on them until they are spoiled. My daughters think I am harsh, unsympathetic and expect too much of them. Whom shall I believe, and what shall I do? . . . But I’m growing tired —I dread to hear ‘l’m bring ing a girl down for the week-end. Will you have the guest room ready?’ or, ’The gang is coming tonight; what can you give us to eat?’ What shall I do? I’ve never denied them anything yet. Is it too late to begin?” Os course not, I replied. “Begin at once to protect yourself.” in navy, beetroot, black brown or Co penhagen blue with white dots.

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.
