Bright Fruit Prints Are Popular, __
Oft-times Veiled in
Thin Black
Red Cherry Used As
Motif on a Dark
Silk
®y LISBETH
Life is just a bowl of cherries when
you wear some of the new silk prints
that ar? so popular this season. If
you don’t care for cherries you can
have some other fruit, or vegetables
or flowers.
This lovely evening dress pictured
Is one of the fruit prints on silk
crepe—red cherries with blue-green
haves on black. It is veiled with black
silk marquisette, cool looking and ex
quisite, for dining and dancing.
r n Vlonnet's summer collection are
shown gowns and evening coats in
dark organza with huge skirts corded
around the hips like the sixteenth
century farthingale. The corded nets
are replaced by bis net skirts entire
ly ruched. Then there are in her col
lection circular chiffon skirts in sev
eral layers, but all smooth at the hips.
Ribbon Trimmings
For trimmings there are many col
ored ribbon girdle®, some velvet. Old
fashioned printed twills are being re
vived for crisp day frocks.
Lace is playing a prominent part
in summer fashions, both for eve
ning and daytime. Tailored lace
dresses are dressy enough to be worn
at many of the more informal of the
society occasions, and also appear ap
propriate for quite informal times.
The frock worn by Una Merkel, pic
tured here, is of a slightly more for
mal character, but is ideal for church,,
the daytime reception, luncheon or
bridge. It might even serve as a wed
ding dress when the bride is to be
married at the registrar’s office, the
minister's, or In an informal day
time church wedding.
It la in electric blue lace, the
blouse being bound with a matching
shade of grosgrain ribbon, with a
touch of color added by the cluster
of flowers at the neckline.
Una’s hat is Ip the same shade of
blue with rose flowers, matching those
on the dress.
Sheers Backbone of Wardrobe
Next to the lace dress, which, by
the by, often are seen in typical shirt
waist styling, the fabric lending a
certain dressiness to the frock, are the
sheers which are acknowledged to be
the backbone of a woman's ward
robe.
The jacket ensemble in sheer crepe,
in navy, black or brown, printed or
plain, is the all-around costume alike
for the business or society woman. It
is shown in numerous styles and de
grees of formality—from the strictly
tailored to the dressy, with dainty
feminine details of jabots, fluffy or
crisp collars and flowers.

Little Women
Can Appear
Taller
By GLADYS GLAD
“America's Most Famous Beauty”
cl - IF
Lupe Velez
She it short but dynamic.
When I was a younster, one of my
favorite fairy tales was the story of
Tom Thumb. Yet despite his small
size. Tom managed to do mighty big
things. And I think that all those
short girls who write in to me be
moaning their lack of stature, could
learn a good deal from Tom s story.
For the moral of it is, that a lass
can achieve success regardless of her
height, if she uses that brain of hres.
As I told you recently, there are a
number of girls who resent the fact
that they are tall. B'ut there are just
La many lasses who are disgruntled
because of their lack Gt stature, and
they feel that there is nothing much
that they can do about it. Os course
a short girl who has reached her ulti
mate height can’t make herself a
great deal taller. Stretching exercises
help during the formative years, but
not much after full dtvelopm?nt has
been reached. But a short girl can at
least make herself appear taller if she
gowns herself properly, and is care
fui of her posture.
Most Careful of Posture
The short girl should be most care
ful of her posture. For a firm, erect
carriage will make her seem taller
than she really is. As to gowning, the
short girl should usually avoid just
the lines that the tall girl should
adopt. For her, .hose belted dresses,
cape dresses, tunics, jumpers and
boleros are taboo. Straightline dresses
that are without any contrasting
shade are best for the short girl, be-
cause they do not cut her figure, but
tend to make her appear taller.
In addition, the short girl should
absolutely avoid crisp, stiff materials.
Such materials will tend only to
make her appear shorter and dumpier
than she really is, because of their
bouffant nature. The best materials
for the short girl are vertically
striped ones, solid colored ones and
large-figured one®. For such materials
will tend to make her appear taller
than she really is. Hat sand shoes,
too, should be of harmonizing shades,
rather than hues that contrast) with
the shade of the gown worn. For if
the eye can travel from head to toe
without any interruption, an effect of
greater height is achieved.
Vinegar Rinse
Gloria: The vinegar rin®e is a soft
ening rinse and brings out lovely
highlights in the hair. It should be
composed of half a glass of vinegar
and a pint of clear water.
EDITOR’S NOTE: While it is im
possible for Miss Glad to answer
beauty by mail, she will be
happy to send you her pamphlets on

cord around the stake first, then put
a fairly loose loop around the stalk
of the plant. Be sure to knot the
cord against the stake rather than

Both stake and bloom should be of

Wife Takes
Her Erring
Mate Back
BUT SHE IS NOT HAPPY AS
HER LOVE IS AN-
OTHER’S
By VIRGINIA LEE
“Dear Miss Lee: They say that
time heals all wounds, but I know
that Ho matter how long the time, it
can never heal the wound in my
heart. I was married 11 years ago, at
the ago of 16. But I am sure we
would have always been happy had
my husband been true to his mar
riage vows-
“After two years I was forced to
go to work to support myself and
the baby. It was after we were sepa
rated that I met B. He was just
the opposite of my husband—most
kind and generous. I loved him with
all my heart, and still do. Then my
husband appeared on the scene with
his pathetic pleas and promises of
what he would do if only he was given
another chance. To this day I cannot
explain why I returned to him. Per
haps it was my own unhappy child
hood whi*h began with the divorce of
my parents
“That was seven years ago. Dur
ing the worst years of the depression
my husband was unemployed. He
went his own carefree way, and my
shoulders carried the responsibility
of providing for myself and the chil
dren. In those years I came to hate
my husband. You see there were two
babies born to us in those years, and
I did the best I could while my hus
band enjoyed life.
“I could not ask for any more
heaven than to just spend life here
on earth with the man I love so
dearly. But I know I must continue
to give my life to the man that I
so blindly chose as my life partner.
I have only one wish, and that’s to
live to rear my children and see them
happily married in homes of love and
understanding. May God grant me
that wish! After all, love is the
most life has to offer.
“JUST A MOTHER.”
I echo your wish, both for your
sake and your children’s, dear Mother.
If you can help them to profit from
your mistake it may compensate you
in some measure for your unhappi
ness. It was too bad you took your
husband back, and yet it shows the
type of woman you are, tender heart
ed and ready to sacrifice yourself to
do what seem® to be your duty.
I have printed your letter, hoping
that some 16-year-olds who are very
much in love and quite sure it isn't
“puppy love,” may, perchance, pause
and reconsider that elopement they
planned and finally decide against it.
Too bad, too, that two more little
ones were born of your unhappy
union. One thing I would advise, and
that it is not to give up hope of
being happy—whether it be with the
man you love, or with your rhildren.
The latter can give a mother great
joy and satisfaction and make up
many things to her.
WONDERING: If you act as if
you loved a person that is enough.
And if he cares for you he will show
it by his actions. If he doesn’t, you
can depend upon it he doesn’t care.

Why Such
Haste in
School?
AIR OF “HURRY UP” IN
CLASS DEPLORED
BY MYERS
By GARY C. MYERS, PH. D.
Head Department Parena Education
Cleveland College, Western
Reserve University
OFTEN IN THIS column I have
deplored the hurry atmosphere which
pervades so many classrooms. The
well-known stop-watch exercises which
occur daily in some schools, I have
particularly condemned. Always in
response to such an article there
come many letters telling of children,
generally bright children, who are
constantly upset emotionally by this
practice. Sometimes children them
selves write to tell me of their suf
fering from frequent speed exercises.
Always I have been careful to en
treat my readers not to scold the
teacher, since she has been trained
on stop-watch teaching, but to try
to change those who are driving her
to drive the children.
Today I would like to plead with
the teacher to give thought to those
children—many of them in every
classroom, and they are not always
the dullards either —who are unable
to write the words she pronounces In
spelling, as fast as-she expects them
to write.
I wonder how many thousands of
children in this country failed today
in spelling, who could have spelled
all or most of the words but were
so distraught emotionally while they
wrote as to be unable to keep up.
Many of these children have trouble
merely with the mechanics of writ
ing. The child fearing he will fall
behind mus disperse his attention,
now on his feelings of fear, now on
the ford he is tryiog to write, now on
the next word he hears pronounced
before he has the last one written.
I wish we might prevail upon the
elementary teacher to pronounce the
words to be spelled about half as
fast as she now does. If only she
would give this proposition a trial,
she would be convinced of its efficacy.
She would save time in the long run.
and her children would do far better
spelling. It seems hard for her to
realize the prodigiousness of the task
which confronts the child, especially
the child who writes slowly and is
easily upset emotionally.
As for dictating problems and the
like, I have long contended that such
practice should be entirely abandoned.
It is about the most waseful practice
that goes on in the elementary school.
I once wrote an article in the Na
tional Journal of Educational Meth
ods entitled, ‘ Down With Dictation”.
With the large amount of good
supplementary teaching materials
now available, and good facilities for
manifolding materials, there is prac
tically no need for “dictation.” Even
to write a few verbal problems on the
blackboard is more efficient than to
dictate four times as many.
However, she stay* at home and
“sews a fine seam” and has no suitors,
she says. She thinks men really want
the type who ‘‘step out,” but she
won’t, she states. She is going to “be
a good, old-fashioned maid because
that looks good to me.”
