It is not hard to see why this is so—for slenderness, not angularity nor scrawniness, indicates youth, vi- vacity, romance and alertness, while excessive heaviness must, justly or oth- MOVIES AND erwise, always be associated with com- ;‘yz‘n‘ca!nt middle age, stolidity and over- ulgence. 'l'he'elmportlnt thing to remember is that the emphasis of this slenderness is subject to change, and while in 1860 skirts were enormously bouffant in or- der to emphasize the wasp-like propor- tions of the waist. wasitlines for the last decade or so have been given their freedom in order that the hips below might appear more slender. ‘This season there is more of general molding. Slenderness of the body is indicated but at the same time the line around the hips is very closely confined and the hip swathing is widening. Flarg and fullness start from a rather low line and of the bouffancy which springs from a high place on the hips there is nothing more to be seen. ‘This week’s home dressmaker’s help gives a diagram pattern for shawl and skirt drapery for a Spanish costume for an informal fancy dress party.

MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, April 19.— Character actresses are having an at- tack of the vapors because of the ap- pointment of Winifred Westover Hart to the most-sought-after role the movies have had to give these many months, Movies are as whimsical as ladies in love and as coquettish when it comes to casting. One moment the movies flirt with the legitimate; the next they reach back into the dim tapestry of the old-time screen and draw out a blond ‘whom the colony itself has forgotten as anything save a name, If we've been thinking of Winifred ‘W-tover Hart at all of late, it is be- cawe Bill Hart, jr, has just been sent home from the hospital and his pictures broadeast throughout the local press. His blond mother once wore a six- shooter on either slender hip and poised a sombrero on her glinting curls in a way to make every teamster in the audience feel that he was the original Don Juan. And to make this return to the movie limelight a first-rate one Fanny Hurst has been brought out to write the dia- logue for the talkie. ‘The services of Pauline Lord were besought for this part. History has it that she turned down an offer of $3,500 8 week politely the first time. The secand time she gave the door to the gentie who brought the good news. He didn’t know Pauline Lord was about to marry a wealthy man and go abroad for an extended stay; or, if he did, he thought, with true Hollywood spirit, that nothing could equal a movie offer for money and fame. ‘The Manhattan mind and the movie may have but a single thought—coin— but their heartbeats pulse in opposing directions now and again. So much for local character ladies and their troubles. Local leading ladies are all in a pother. They want to know why Ruth Chatterton dresses so plainly in her public appearances. Said one: “She must be horribly in debt or something, because she wears the same black evening ensemble all the time, and no jewels at all.” The evening ensemble is of faultless cut; the string of small pearls are genu- ine deep-sea variety. Hollywood has festooned itself in near-pearls of ‘mothball zise for so many years that it has lost perspective for the small and genuine article. A Hollywood beauty’s idea of an eve- ning wrap is a garment that glitters like an acrobat’s bathrobe. Movie beauties unanimously face the street in full make-up; that is, there is the mask-like perfection of an elaborate foundation on their faces, and.their lashes are beaded carefully. ‘The Chattertons, minus beading on the lashes, minus make-up, often minus the traditional lipstick, are so many mysteries in a town where a cheek is often as pink as the rose on a senorita's shawl. A Chatterton with her simply coiffed and unbleached hair is a dowdy woman to the feverishly-toned girls of cinematics. And if a girl wears a black dress to two or three openings in succession there’s only one answer in moviedom— “Her mother's dead, or some near rela- tive, or she's gone broke.” Lloyd Hamilton’s wife complains that she didn’t have a single Jaugh in 4ll the time she was married to him. I calls it unsportsmaniike of the lady to live on the proceeds of comedy making and then expect & man who has been funny for eight hours a day to carry on the laughs at home.

This makes six servings. Sucars IN o THF, EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. SUB ROSA BY MIMI ‘Eliza Crosses the River. I hear that they've put the author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” in the Hall of Fame, along with a lot of ex-Presidents and ex-poeis. that classic work which we can afford to forget, but let’s remember Eliza's stunt when she crossed the Ohio River after she missed that ferryboat. ‘This Eliza person may not have been of the new order of flaming youth, but she showed them the proper steps when she Charlestoned her way across the river from slavery to freedom. She had to do this trick by'jumping from one cake of ice to another. I always think of her when I cross the Avenue when the taxis are trying to make a game of foot ball out of the traffic. Youth is doing Eliza’s trick over again. It is on its way from slavery to freedom, and it can't wait for the ferry. ‘There’s no_telling when the bridge will be built. Youth must be served; that is, it must serve itself, as it is doing today. You may think that the flapper's steps mean confidence plus boldness, but as a matter of fact they show you that she isn’t quite certain how she's going to make the crossing. All she knows is that she's left one bank be- hind her and sees another across the river. If she looks giddy, it's only be- cause she doesn't know just where to put her foot next. While we are prancing along over the ice we may appear bumptious, but we have an idea we know where we're going. It's just one plunge after an- other—short hair, a cigarette, kilts and knees, parties and late hours. These are not the important things, however. No, for these are only the slippery ice we use when there isn't any more regular route. The wonder is that not more girls slip off into the river, and not every girl is & Gertrude Ederle, you know. I hope that we get there some time, Eliza had the whole river and all the ice cakes to herself, but I find that there’s considerable congestion along the liberty route, so that if you don't slip off you may be bumped off. (Copyright, 1920.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, ‘One mother says: ‘When children have afternoon naps they do not sleep well at night. But if they are allowed to romp and play all day, they get cross and nervous and so does mother. In our family we have solved the problem to the satisfaction of every one. Each child is washed ready for a nap, and goes to his or her room, where in a comfortable chair by a table he or she spends the time in absolute quiet, color- ing pictures, looking at a book, reading or sewing. This, I have found, rests them about as much as a nap. It also helps them in their school work, as ordinarily they do not like to sit down and de things quletly. Speclal inducements, as com tion books, crayons, etc., were needed to get the plan started.

Many a conscientioiis teach. er or mother has created double toil and trouble by not seeing the real child she was trying to help. 1 mean that we extend ourselves in- to and on and over and through a child so that he, in self-defense, fights us off. In fighting us off he has cer- tain very troublesome symptoms. He may have cross spells, He may refuse his food. He may neglect his work. He may run away. He may complain of pains here and troubles there. All the time he is trying to throw us off h’ft back and free himself to be him- self. One little one is slow and quiet and dreamy. The mother wants her to be active, alert, a leader in sports and studies and social activities. She drives the child from pillar to post in a vain effort to make her into the sort of child she is not and cannot be. The child shows symptoms of distress and the specialists are called in. The mother in her anxiety to make this child a success, as she sees the suc- cess, has brought all this trouble and worry upon herself and her child. Another child is a boy who is rough and ready. He shouts when he ought to_speak softly. He wants to play ball when his mother wants him to g0 to dancing school. He skips the ic_period in school and goes to He breaks all his finger nails carrying stones and sand and gravel and cement to build a hut far from civilization, ‘The teacher reports him a truant. His mother is greatly distressed and considers sending the boy to military | school. ‘The principal of the school | thinks he would be far better off in a school where he could learn a trade. His father says “No. He is to stay in school and behave himself. No more of this nonsense. If he doesn't be- have a good thrashing may help.” ‘The boy slows down in all his school work, He sulks and growls and grum- bles. He talks back to the teacher.| He won't wash his hands and. he | won’t go to dancing school. He won't | answer the teacher when she calls on | him, although she is sure he knows | the answer.

GUNN, Nearness to God. ‘Text—“It is good for me to draw near God."—Ps. ixxiii.28. Why is it good to draw near to God? Because when we draw near to Him He graciously makes Himself accessible 2 us and responsive to our cry of want. We come to Him for pardon for our sins, for strength te overcome tempta- tion, for guidance and help in the struggles of life, for comfort and sym- pathy in times of trouble and sorrow. And all these He.gives when we draw near to Him, How good, then, it is to draw near to God. Not only because of the particular and special helps we receive from Him but because it is so delightful and sat- isfying to be near Him. It is good to draw near for the sake of being near. The nearer we are to Him the happier we are. Our happiest and most restful days have been those days when we felt the sense of nearness to God. We are made for God, and when at a dis- tance from Him we feel a sense of va- cancy which the world, with all its good, cannot fill, “It is good to draw near to God.” This implies that you may be at a dis- tance from Him. For the time being, everything going well with you, you may think you can get along without Him. But you will think differently after a while. Adversity, bereavement, old age, the prospect of death, are some of life's vicissitudes that are certain to come your way sooner or later, And when they come, you will change your thinking and find it most necessary to draw near to God. Better draw near to Him now, before your troubles and sor- rows begin. . .
