Dress Flare Has Actually Arrived BY MARY MARSHALL. THE NEW FLARING INVERTED BOX PLEAT IS SEEN ON THIS SPORTS FROCK OF WHITE CREPE. r silhouette. They were perfectly willing to have skirts that were fuller sround the hem. They had discovered rather aimeult thing to manage, and that it had an ungraceful way of riding upward. _ Yes, they really did want this extra fullness A:(’mnd the , but wanted it introduced by way of drapery and tucks and other devices that were as unobtrusive as pos- definite fact of fashion—an effect as well as a fact—and the most interest- ing thing about it is its diversity. For the washable cotton frock the best flares are those achieved by a gath- ering of the material or wide pleats. Circular insets or flounces are better chosen for the chiffon or georgette frock. With daytime frocks of silk crepe or thin woolens, flares may be achieved by fine pleating, skillfully ar- ranged tucks or shirrings. For sports skirts and frocks the favorite type of flare is that achieved by wide pleats, frequently of the inverted box sort. ‘These new inverted box pleats are not persuaded to lie flat, and they have no intention of doing so. This week’s little circular for the woman who likes to make at home tells how to make one of the new underarm bags from ribbon or silk with a patent fastener. All you need to buy is a strip of this fastener device mounted on tape, which may be bought at almost any notion counter; a bit of ribbon or silk and a little canvas for interlining.

AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, A 4—A Mollywood tea party begins with a swim ahd ends with a general talk fest. It is composed of stockingless stars and beautiful young men. It is & mass ol chat, as most tea parties are, but this chat is about who “talks” and who doesn’t, who “records” well and who doesn’t, what roles are being made and What stories are contemplated. Non-professional chatter doesn’t go, for the world of movies doesn’t recog- nize the existence of a world without its gates. The colony is impervious to the effects of the Jones law. It doesn’t care whether or not Representative Michaelson had liquor in his luggage when he returned from Cuba. A new type of make-up is vital. A new camera angle can cause a revolu- tion. A new director in their midst can create an unheaval the outer world «doesn‘t dream of. ‘The colony lives for itself alone. So Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell and Mrs. Farrell, arriving at a tea, only precipitate a lot of studio talk. Janet Gaynor, wiht her reddish curls clustering about the base of her slim little neck, looks like one of the young heroines she plays continuously before the camera. She wears of a Sunday afternoon a slim little pervenche blue sweater, with & bright scarf about her neck; a white m skirt, box-pleated in schoolgirl 14 , and white sneakers above which curl lamb's wool socks of per- wvenche blue about bronze little ankles. Charles Farrell in a double-breasted blue serge coat with brass buttons and white flannel trousers is lacking only the yacht as he steps into the drawing room. He, too, is bronzed in the con- ventional manner. Hollywood tan is as secrets of all sorts. “Tan appe: usly with Spring fashions, whenée nobody knows. Ne tells, even if one does know.

CORY. 1 catched a bad cold yesterday when with the colorful clothes that mark the Spring season. Janet Gaynor is keeping Hollywood guessing about her romances. Lydell Peck of San Francisco flies down to lunch with her—fiies literally, for air- planes are accepted nonchalantly on this West Coast. : Charles Farrell drops into the studio to watch her work on his day off. Rumor has him e to Virginia Valli, but his attentions to Janet Gay- nor every now and then give rise to speculation. Billie Dove’s regular camera features are as bronzed as a popover fresh from the oven. She wears a trying little cap of turquoise blue that would turn less of a beauty into a hag. Lois Moran wi a white wool tennis frock; no hose and white sandals of severe sports cut; a prime white felt hat, large at the sides and a bit turned down all around. Sally O'Neill wears a white linen ten- nis frock with the new down-to-the- waist back; a tiny felt hat in a citron shade; white sneakers and citron lamb’s Wool socks. June Collyer looks like a flax flower in a shade of clear pellucid blue and & blue felt hat to match. She is ideally slim and divinely pretty, and her beau at present is Charles (“Buddy”) Rogers. Add either a cup of tea or coffee and some sandwiches and small cakes to the g:lu talk, and you have the party in to: Hollywood is not a cradle of chic repartee, but it is the lathe house for beautiful young plants. A few good old girls from the legitimate, reared beneath the searing lights of the stock companies, threaten to dust these dainty creatures from the limelight. And this is far sadder and truer than any one imagines at the present telling. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- . paper Alliance.) America We have the finest rivers that any land can show; the heart with rapture quivers when we behold them flow. The pauper streams that travel, that wind and twist and crawl, through Eu- rope's mud and gravel don't class with ours at all. We have the blamedest mountains, and when a peak appears, our eyes are brimming fountains of most ecstatic tears. Our mountains are gigantic,-a credit to our sod; yet lots of folks are frantic to see the hills broad.

The career whlchlhlvainmlndumto!nlv&lofl«r. The hardshi; of ol is prepared, but which he is willing endure it? Answer: You are not very patriotic, are you, Jane? You haven't a very high ideal of the calling of the men on whom the safety of your country depend if some foreign nation should attack us and threaten our liberty. The; are our outer bulwark of defense, They literally stand between us and the world. It seems to me that the career of a naval officer is as high as any man could ug’ln to and that it is a very fine thing that these men should give their talents. their country, instead of just employing them in chasing dollars. Nor do mapy women share your opinion that naval officers are such poor matrimonial risks. Probably the average of matrimonial happiness is just as great in the Navy as out of it. some cynic has said that a girl who marries a naval officer has tmmnuo!mmmtmyn girl has because if she loves him she will be haj when her husband has his shore duty, while if she doesn’t love him she be happy half of the time when he is away at sea. ©Of course, if you want a man who will be & go-getter and a money-maker and who will give you & fine house and jewels m'? gtn and punch lh’a home m c'l::knr:g!n%:t :r pm, metlx:n y:uf'oula be foolish to b:ukt in your fortunes 4 e predegtined for some baker or maker with a nice little shop a?ound the corner, e A o Also, you are right in deciding this question before you get married ;h’l.'lu.th;“:r;n:n:’ml ml cht“tl.lcleln w!choose between you ln’é7 hl:e life work. 'r'\’:- a onest or & woman bRl oy g to marry a man and then set Many women do this. I know a number of women who have married Army and Navy officers and then nagged them out of their professions because they didn't like to live at Army posts or to.be let alone so much. And I have seen these husbands, accustomed to command, accustomed to respect and- deference, accustomed to filiing a high place in soclety, miserable and unhappy in an environment to which they were not used. Some of them had degenerated into being small clerks; some were doing menial tasks; some, discouraged, had given up the task of trying to make a lit at all. Of course, some Army and Navy officers make successes in business, but not a great many do, because their whole training is against it. Anyway, what right has a woman to interfere in a man's career to make him give up the work he loves? Perhaps the woman who has never worked herself has no idea what a man’s profession can be to him. Perhaps she can never understand how completely it absorbs him, of what vital interest every smallest detail of it is to him, of how it has filled his thoughts by day and his dreams by night, how his hopes and ambitions are centered in it. i P"th.p!th‘z: ‘c;rx;umfindehnugd the b&Ebu in achievement, the pride rapture when he su unendin he takes in just the exercising of craftsmanship, % i : No matter how much a man loves & woman this other love of his work is there, too, and if she forces him to sacrifice it she not only blights his life, but she hurts his love for her beyond repair.

We thoyght we could explain why we sent out that loaf by telling our customers that we were saving them money. It sounded nice and big-hearted. Did they like it? They did not. “Please,” they said, “don’t try to save us money by sending us inferior food.” After we'd been through that sort of thing for some months we began sending out Bond Bread with all our orders, if the housewife didn’t name a particular brand.
