HOROSCOPE FOR SUNDAY If your birthday is Sunday you are magnetic, hypnotic and clairvoyant- You can be charmingly fascinating and loved by all if ou so wish. You love music and science. ONE MINUTE PULPIT Keep thy heart with all diligence: for out of it are the issues of life.— Proverbs 4:23. 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.

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.

MEMBERS OF QUIS QUI TO HOLD BANQUET TOMORROW The Woman’s auxiliary of the First Presbyterian church gave it® annual birthday party last evening at the church. The interesting program included a very colorful pageant presented by a group of young girls, including Miss Elsie Sanders, Miss Mary Farr, Miss Barbara Colley, Miss Anna Hadley, Miss Martha Lee, Miss Virginia Wil son, Miss Grace Bounds, Miss Sibyl Orr, Miss Ann Farr and Mis® Elinor Baker. The occasion was called a birthday party because each one attending was asked to contribute one cent for each year of their age.

Loop the 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 against the plant, in order to prevent i injury to the latter. Both stake and bloom should be of the same height. Bamboo stakes are best, although wire onces can also be used' 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. ♦ * ♦ WONDER is a home girl and has learned to cook, quilt, embroider, bake, clean and keep a home cozy. gg|| MB no N MONEY ■ *Sav-A-Step rfSlid-A-Trap vTilt.A-Shell DOWN I dllluminwed 1 1.p 0 ,„, Cold Control •*'*»» IV I VJumboVegetable Freshener Vjumbo • Sliding Fruit Basket VEconomical Twin - - I Cylinder Compressor /Improved Extra "oyOnEaey I Large Freezing Unit V Automatic Inte- Monthly Terms I nor Light V Vaulted Const*-.- - ' > n Laa«w»wawßMWMaaJ STEWRRT-WRRNER """ " See ft Today At— ARTHUR J. FUNK 15 EAST PERRY STREET 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.”
