Special Dispatch to The Star. y HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 8 (N.AN.A.).—Local purveyors of fashion who are fast approaching the elegance of Beau Brummel with their overly shiny hats and fingernails and the ex- travagances of their evening attire ac- cessories pulled a fast one at our most Tecent opening. it They initiated us timid souls to the | latest in masculine elegance for eve- ning dress, Three gardenias in the | buttonhole, if you please, Three, no less—and take it, peasants, and like it! T've seen comedians with sunflowers | in_their buttonholes, but it was such deliberate furfning that it lost some of its kick. And I've read that Oscar Wills O'Flaherty Wilde affected this form of boutonniere when he donned- satin knee breeches and publicised him- | self in those good old days when authors were supposed t> be outlandish. | Joaquin Miller tried a red satin sash with his tuxedo coat and London, al- ways _game for novelty, loved him for it. They also liked Col. Cody and his cream-colored Stetson topping the stern black-and-white of after-six. But picture a gentleman who calls a premiere a ‘“permeer,” a _picture, “pitcher"—a gentleman to whom all people are “folks” and all hit" “natch- erals"—getting into three gardenias when he goes top-hat.

We suggest flat crepe because it lends itself so well to the little dressmaker touches that you will be able to add to your dress at practically no additional expense. One of the newest of these trimmings is known as “spaghetti fringe.” To make it you will need yards and yards of narrow tubing made from the ma- terial. To make this, cut bias bands about, an inch and a quarter wide. Fold over lengthwise and stitch one-elghth inch from the edge and draw right side out by attaching a hairpin or bod- kin in one end and pushing through to the end of the tube. Press flat and cut the strips in 6-inch lengths, fold in the center as shown in the sketch, arrange along the edge of the dress where you want the fringe to appear and stitch down. The ends of the tubes are left as they are but a few stitches should be taken at the ends of the seams to keep them from un- doing. | DAILY DIET RECIPE CHICKEN LIVERS AND BACON.

Behind the tragedy which a bursting gas main caused at the “Cimarro: opening is one of the pricelessly funny stories, of the village. ‘The theater, rocked by the .shock of the explosion, was naturally thrown into a panic. This was quickly averted by the splendid presence of mind of Fred Niblo, spokesman of the evening, who assured every one it was merely a phase of the evening's program and to ‘Whilst the injured were being hur- ried away quietly outside, he went on introducing members of the cast and keeping the huge audience in their seats. The cnly intimation they had that anything was wrong was when they went to leave and found they must exit through the rear of the theater. As they slowly milled out the rear exits into the alleyway—the entire front of the theater being rbped off— a loud adenoidal voice broke into peev ish complaints. A famous director turned to see just who was voicing their sentiments in such fashion and discovered the com- plainer to be an extra gir® who had been doing this work in the colony for some years. He leaned over and said, “Pipe down, sister—this isn't the first back door you've gone out, and it probably won't be the last.” Backwash of talk from the famous attending the Charlie Chaplin opening reveals the fact that one actress had her head cut severely when a rock, hurled from some mysterious bource, smashed the window of her car and lacerated her face severely. Several others have announced that they will make no more public appear- ances - until the financial question in America in better state. The crowd spems to be acquiring a new tone these ays—nearer to a mutter than a cheer. Despite these announcements, local florists never had so many orders as for the “Cimarron” opening, which topped the orchig business for any single night Hollywood has yet had. But Constance Bennett, arriving in a dazzling state of blondeness, orchid hung from shoulder to hip and ermined to a fie-you-well, got the very cold with studio | rer's_offer | act to Pathe.| There is an etiquette in this business | which this season’s tactics would seem to have swept aside.

But it is a noble and divine ministry to be an encourager, to be an inspirer of hope and cheer. And there is no ministry more: widely needed.

Ezpect "THE resson that marriage is 80 often a failure for women is because they expect too much of it. They expect marriage to be the one absolutely perfect thing in an otherwise imperfect world, and when they find out that it isn't, they jam on their hats and rush to the divorce court, or else become peevish and fretful and complaining wives. No matter how old she is, or how much she has seen of life, every woman still believes that in her own particular case the old fairy tale will come true, and that she will marry a Prince Charming and live happily ever afterward. She knows well enough that marriage isn’t any perpetual picnic for her sisters and her cousins and her aunts. She is aware that for them it has been full of worty and work, but apparently it never crosses her mind that a similar fate can befall her, She is sure that she will be an exception to the general rule and that when she is married she will dwell in an Elysium. So obsessed are women with these dreams of what marriage is going to be like to them that when they come o grips with the reality they seem unable o bear it. Why women, who are practical enough about everything else, should be so | impractical about marriage, is cne of the inscrutable mysteries of ‘feminine psychology. But every day We see women marrying men who are philanderers or drunkards or ne‘er-do-wells and then bewailing their fate. very day some business girl tells me that she is tired of working and sup- | pomfg herself and she marries some chap who can't even make butter enough for his own bread, and then she howls to the stars because she has to work 10 | times as hard as she ever did before and has less to spend, and marriage doesn't | furnish her with a palace to live in or a limousine to ride around in or servants to wait on her. This idea ‘that women ‘have that all they need to be perfectly happy is to get married has two disastrous results in addition to the disillusion of the women themselves. One is that it discourages husbands who never know what is wrong EBRUARY 9, 1931, SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY.

They are being good according to their lights, and they ecan't know that what's the natter with Maria is that she is disgruntled because matrimony isn’t one never- ending thrill. The second result of women's expecting the impossible of marriage is that | it keeps them from making the effort to make a success of it that they would | make if they regarded it as a business proposition and not a sort of conjure. | and faithfully and cheerfully, and not to be always complaining about it and asking for sympathy because she has to stand behind a counter or bend over a | typewriter or punch an adding machine. She expects to put up with the nerves and tempers and irritability and un- reason of her boss, and to make every effort to conciliate him and keep him in a good humor. ject or to teil him what she really thinks of him. But how many wives use these tactics on their husbands, though they work out just as well in the home as they do in a business office? How many wives consider it a hardship because they have to do the housework and take care of their children? How many think it worth while to jolly along a mere hushand? It is because they don't and because women expect their marriages to be happy and successful without any help from them that so many marriages are failures. DOROTHY DIX. | Grilled Tomatoes.

I now give him four ounces @ milk, two of water and one- fourth teaspoon of sugar. I am & constant reader of your department and have a scrap book of its clippings.” Your baby has gained better than two pounds monthly, a large gain, which is difficult to understand unless you are nursing him too often during the day. Sweetened water is simply not to be thought of, for water should quench thirst and supply the fluid needs of the body. Sugar would pre- vent the first and defeat the second. As a preventive of rickets the cod liver oil is being given in entirely in- adequate amounts. In addition to two teaspoons of cod liver oil, given after each of the four regular feeding periods in one-half teaspoonful doses, he should have at least one to two ounces of orange juice and two feedings of cereal. At his age and weight he needs five feedings daily, four in daytime and one during the night from 10 to 2. The feeding leaflet, dealing with ad- ditional feedings from 2 to 12 months, covers every step of feeding, and I am sure you would find it helpful, as well as the leaflet on relief bottles. You may secure both leaflets by inclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your request, and sending it to “Your Baby and Mine” department of this newspaper.

What to Do for Cri. I do not believe it matters whether you stuff or starve it, whether you drink a glass of water every hour or not at all, or whether you have a little fever or just a mild chilliness, I know that | when I have cri myself I pay little heed to_those conventional rules. I really like to get lots of letters from readers and the more varied and diffi- | cult the health problems or questions | readers submit the better I like it, but | here is the advice I offer any one who | has the cri, and if my treatment does | not satisty you—tell your doctor. 1. Be fair and call it cri (kree) and not “cold.” Nobody knows what “cold"” | is. Ciri is any of the common respira- tory infections—you can be reasonably | sure it is some such ailment from the | | first, and you can put the proper label |on it later when it develops into plain | coryza, measles, meningitis or what have you. Meanwhile your frankness in confessing that you believe it is one or another respiratory infection gives your | friends and associates a break. If you conceal the infectious character of the | trouble under the disarming name “slight cold” you are playing a trick on | all ‘who may be compelled to come | within your &nversational spray range. 2. It is your moral duty, if not yet a requirement of law, to keep away from school, church, theater, shop, or public gatherings, {0 keep away from your friends, if any, and to keep out of public conveyances when you have cri. If justice were done you should be thrown out of such places on your | ear if you insist on your “right” to be there in spite of what you consider just a ‘“cold.” 3. In your own home you must take particular pains to avoid giving your cri to others in the household. If any one must venture within your conver- sational spray range (which is up to| 5 feet) you should don a suitable mask over nose and mouth—a screen to catch the moisture spray. 4. These precautions all apply with greatest force in the stage of onset or | invasion, for it is then that most of | the recognized respiratory infections are most communicable. The greatest damage is done in most. cases before the indisposition or fllness develops suf- | ficlently to demand treatment of any | kind. 5. Besides immediate and voluntary isolation and the disposal of all nose or | throat secretions as though you knew the illness were diphtheria or scarlet | fever or infantile paralysis, it is usually | beneficial to have a hot bath, or better, if possible, a hot mustard foot bath in bed. and then remain n bed for the | ay. | 6.1t is usually advisable to have a | free supply of fresh, cool, moist air to breathe, and not to breathe overheated and excessively dried-out air. It is a mistake to breathe vitiated or warmed- over air merely for the sake of ex- ternal body warmth. Use hot water bottles and the like for that. 7. If ache or pain or discomfort pre- vents sleep, then one may resort to a | dose or two of aspirin, but otherwise it is better to leave all medicines to the judgment of a physician, 8. If ycu're young, take all the cold water or fruit-juice beverage you want, sweetened if you like. If you're old, better take your liquid hot. 9. If you are at work or play as usual, don't try fasting. If you remain at rest or in bed skip at least a meal | or fast for 24 hours, except fruit-juice drinks. 10. When hoarseness or- cough is a symptom, this Fool Prcof Cough Medi- cine is at least harmless and, I believe, beneficial in many instances: Steep a heaping teaspoonful of whole flaxseeds My Neighbor Says: After removing the stains and spots on linen, wash it in warm suds.
