WOMAN'’S PAGE. Clever Way to Lengthen Skirt BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘There is no use now to hope for a return of short skirts, Hemlines may be raised an inch or so for evening ‘wear next Autumn, but anything like & really short skirt is out of the question. And s0, if you still possess any of the old-time short-skirted frocks, you had better dispose of them now—unless, of course, you can do something to make them longer. Today's dress shows a charming eve- ning ensemble that suggests & clever way to lengthen the skirt of a chiffon dress. The original from which the THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE The bolero jacket is engaging much attention of debs, debutantes and youth- ful type of woman. No small wonder—when so smart and 80 _thoroughly wearable as this one. The original in a crepe silk print in red and white, had its collar and jabot of white crepe tuck-in blouse pleated to prove its feminine chic. ‘The gored skirt, slightly flared, lends height to the figure. In emerald green shantung with plain white, this model is very snappy. Opal-yellow linen with opal-green eyelet batiste, cotton mesh in white with handkerchief linen, dusty-pink novelty pique with white dotted swiss and pale blue flat washable crepe are ideal for Summecr wear.

Be theifty, Buy @ sketch was made was of flowered chif- fon and black lace, but the idea could be carried out with a plain chiffon and lighter lace. In the dress sketched the chiffon extends down to the insteps, but this is not necessary if the slip is of good length. And so if you have a too-short chiffon dress, our suggestion is to buy lace flouncing for the bottom of the skirt, with enough matching lace to make a little jacket. The jacket will add te the usefulness of the dress and will provide an excuse for the lace flounce. If the skirt in its present guise is extremely short, you may make a flounce deeper than the one shown in the sketch. ‘The jacket shown here is fairly long, with a belt arrangement that ties in a bow at the front. Your jacket may be waist length or one of the very short boleros that have recently come into favor in Paris. If the making of a jacket seems like an ordeal, you may use a piece of lace to match the flounce as a scarf or deep cape collar. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Pop was smoking and thinking in his private chair and I sed, Hay pop, does a inventor make much money out of a invention? That all depends on how useful it is to mankind in generel, pop sed. If its meerly some such thing as a cure for old age, the inventor will proberly die of starvation in the prime ‘of his own life, but on the other hand if its a reely noble contributicn to human “wellfare like a music box when you put them on and take them off, in that case of corse he gets his just reward and makes 80 much money that it takes him years to lose it all in the stock market, he sed. Well Ive got & ideer for a grate in- vention, I sed. Im thinking of invent- ing a aereoplane that cant come down without the consent of the pilot be- cause it will be covered with little bal- loons on top to keep it up. Do you think I could make a lot of money with that invention, pop? I sed. Well, I dont like to make any rash statements, pop sed. It sounds to me like a one way invention, I mean ycuve provided for keeping your aireoplane bringing it down, he sed. No I havent, either, pop, I sed. All the pilot has to do when he wunts to come down is leen out and shoot all the balloons with a automatic pistol, I sed. That would be a extra added induce- ment, because it would give you pistol practice and airecplane practice at the same time, I sed. that cast dont neglect to put me down for some preferred shares as soon as your company is fcrmed, he sad. advants, pop?

ENAKE DOCTOR, a devils darning needle, a green darner who sews up bad boys’ ears, all ‘wrong names given to the beau- tiful dragon fly, who is & friend of ours and not a foe. She is more swift than the swallow, and almost, if not quite, as beautiful as the butterfly. Even thou%le\ she is called the “snatcher” because she catches and consumes her food while on the wing, she has no time for reptiles and does not hover near them. Darting and rushing through the air faster than a train, she is in search of our enemies, the flies, gnats and other bothersome insects. She is the police- man of the air and we do not fully ap- preciate her as we should. Like most ladies, she is afraid in a storm. With the first clap of ‘thunder, she seeks the under side of a leaf, and such sa a set of cuff butions that play | up and youve neglected to provide for | So it would by gollies, pop sed. In | All rite, will you give me a dime in | there she stays until all danger has | passed! She dotes on hot weather. She |is an early riser and stays ofit until dark. Mrs. Dragon Fly, ever on the | alert, is looking for a juicy mosquito | that may have just dined on you or a friend. They get what they go after, and never give up until the sought-for ob- ject is within their grasp. When you see them hovering over ponds, streams |or plants, you may be sure it is the breeding place of insects. Mrs. Anax Junis has an olive-green | body, trimmed in blue and brown. Her | head is large. She has three simple | eves as well as two compound ones. | The lower lip exposes two pairs of jaws with toothed edges. Her head moves on a very slender neck like a pivot. Her chest is a network of muscles which | propel the strong wings. As far as is known, she is the only insect that can fly backward, sideways and forward as | well. She has been the model for fly- |ing machines for years. Her spindle- like legs are built for clinging. Her slender abdomen is used as a steering oar. The mother tucks the tiny eggs into the stems of water plants, deep in the tissue, where they remain for three | weeks. Little. spider-like, long-legged babies drop into the water. Like their | parents, they have huge appetites. They grow fast and cast four coats, then the wing pads appear. They are pale green, trimmed in brown, and are very clever hunters. ‘The strange thing about them is their lower lip, which is hinged and folds back when not in use. Sometimes the deceitful one covers her face with it and she resembles a tiny bull dog. She lies on the floor of the pond, and, when a desirable morsel comes alcng, the lip shoots out one-fourth the length of her body. It has sharp teeth along the edges, and, with lightning-like mo- tion, the dangling legs and wriggling body of the victim are in her mouth. All Summer long she eats all she can catch and she sleeps through the Win- ter. One day in late Spring, she will | climb the stem of a water plant, and, |in the morning or late evening, to avoid her enemies, she is born again, TREATS FOR THE TABLE The ness smooth fine- of Domino Superfine Table Sugar melts quickly into cereals, fruits, iced drinks, hot chocolate.

Nancy answered it. On the wire was Dorothy, & recent bride. “Please tell me, Nancy, how to make & cherry ple in which the juice does not run out and spoil the looks of the top crust.” “The obvious answer to that, Dot, is ! to make a pie without any top or cover | —just strips of l)fltr’ arranged dia- mondwise. ~That is an especially prt ple, too, because the red of the che contrasts with the strips of lightly browned crust. “But, frankly, I don't object to hav- ing the juice run over part of the top I rather like to see it. A pie is pallid on top, and so self- contained that you never get an idea of what is beneath that crust, is not my idea of a good-looking pie at all. “I know that some women suggest CHERRY DIE - putting a funnel of paper in an open- mg cut in the center of the top crust, others bind the edges with a strip of white cloth. Others fold the top crust over on to itself and then join it to the bot crust. And some people put in 80 much granulated tapioca or flour in the filling that it is as pasty and thick as glue. “I line my pie plate with crust, mix one cupful sugar with two- tal o fuls flour, put half of this on the bot- tom crust, add the pitted fruit, put re- maining sugar and flour over fruit and then put strips or top crust on. If I cook. I put this on 10 minutes after the pie goes into the hot oven. By that time the edge crust is set. Then I cover the pie with the tin and leave it for a half hour, uncovered for the last 5 or 10 minutes of baking. And Peter likes my cherry ple.” ‘Wall Paper.

" The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD. Who started her career as a frightened typist and who became one of the highest paid business wo‘f’n’e’; in America. ; Woman Movie Director. ‘There's .just exactly one important movie director in Hollywood who is a woman. Her name is Dorothy Arsner and you will never guess how she came - movie jobs as writers, supervisors and directors. Dorothy Arzner for one was & “cut- ter” B8he began as a stenographer. ‘Then she was transferred to the cut- ting department, and directly from the cutting department xoz her chance to become & tor. At first glance this s , because the cutting work is altogether mechanical. ‘The executives of the motion picture cglenplnhs watch & film; then say to the cutters “Cut here” “Cut there,” and s0 on. A cutter, therefore, is sup- posed merely to obey orders. But sometimes a cutter has ideas of his own, or in some cases, of her own. They say: *“Mrs. Executive, I think this film would do better if we cut right here,” or “if we transferred this little piece further forward,” or some- thing like that. Often the suggestions are good. ‘The cutter works more closely with the chief executives than anybody else in the business, as you can see for your- self. BSo the cutter is the best possible position to attract the attention of the executive. When, therefore, & cutter t | makes intelligent or practical or clever suggestions, the executive notices it and the cutter’s chance for promotion is right there—simple and direct—because the executives are such tyrants as are seldom known in other businesses, What they say goes. Often it comes back with its head hanging, but when they say it, it goes. Some of the best known man movie n as cutters. But while many executives, directors and writers began as cutters, no actor or actress has been known to climb from the eut-' !Ln# room to the films. ow the next tmng you want to know: is how to get a job as cutter. Well, there's no answer to that. It's acci dental. Perhaps you are s stenog- rapher or clerk and get a job in the cutting room. Perhaps you are s rel tive of somebody or a friend of some- body. Perhaps you are sent to the job. by an employment agency. Like every- thing else in Hollywood, getting a job' as a cutter is an extremely haphaszard affair. If you have the right kind of mind, the kind they can use, you can climb up to & good job in pictures. They don’t like woman directors tn! | the industry. To become one requires {a combination of being in the right | place to begin with, having an extraor- | dinary amount of ability, and being in ! contact with people who have the pow- | er to make you a director in spite of - | the prejudice against women. Miss* Arzner combined all three. : (Copyright, 1931.) Jellied Eggs. . | Poach the eggs, then put them on a ' | platter in partly set aspic jelly made of | chicken broth and gelatin.
