MAGAZINE PAGE, The Newest Style Notes UITS are going to be an interest- ing topic of conversation this Spring, and a very interesting item of wearing apparel, too, judging from what is being writ- ten about them, and what is being actually put before our eyes even at this early date. For one thing, suits are going to be of several types and, much to the delight of many persons, it will no longer be | really necessary to wear a suit that fits like the paper on the wall, for things are loosening up a little and a straight boxy silhouette in intermediate length is one of the season's novelties. This type of suit is very flattering to figures not of the pencil variety, and promises to prove popular both in the sporty models and those of more dressy character.

The cape that we have been using in fur on our Winter coats now blos- soms out into a whole garment, and behold the cape ensemble as another Spring novelty. This costume may have blouse, skirt and cape, or jacket, skirt and cape, or even a dress and matching cape: and the cape varies from hip 1 to seven-eighths. The cape is & very useful, easily worn garment, and will be welcomed again after quite a long absenc The strictly tailored suit in men's wear fabric with hip length jacket is a suit that is going to be extensively shown and falls into line with the mannish trend in things feminine which secms at the moment to be a fad.

A pretty suit of this kind now being shown is a soft wool crepe in beige, featuring a brown silk blouse that ties at the front and shows above the neck of the jacket. It has a brown suede belt and interesting yoke and Ppocket treatment. Bright blue makes an attractive suit of rabbit'’s hair wool—a material that seems to be retaining a well-deserved popularity. The short belted jacket has a deep cape that extends over the sleeves in the front and has a section of gray fox fur that just covers the tops of the arms at elbow length, so that from the front you would not guess that there was a cape in the back. There is an accompanying dull blue blouse. This model comes in light gray with a gray blue blouse and is very Springlike in SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Well! If this aren’t ‘gustin!

I forgot to say that the blouses of these two suits have a high collarless neckline that is caught at the front with a clip, and they look very pretty above the jackets. There is quite an assortment of the | mannish mixtures, and among them we find an oxford gray, with green and white striped linen blouse; a finely checked tan and white, with vest of flans nel in orange, tan and white; a small black and white check, with gray flan- nel vest, and a kind of turquoisy blue- gray tweed, with a deep stole revere and its own silk pique scarf in match- ing color, with a pagtern of small loz- |enges. This color is very unusual and | particularly becoming to a young face with gray hair or to those with Titian locks. In the boxy coat suits we find some delightful coco browns—one with a melon-tinted blouse and another with a short jacket under its longer coaj.| This latter model is mose useful for travel and, in fact, for general wear, | too. The coco brown is a splendid color for combining with beige and dark brown, and these suits, being welk tailored on conservative lines, will look | snappy and be satisfying to the wearer for a long period. Some of the inter- mediate length cozat suits have the coat of a darker material than the skirt, as shown in a recent number of Vogue and demonstrated by a local up-to-the- minute shop. The use of twin weaves in suits is quite noticeable this season, especially in the sports models, where a monotone | and a two-color companion tweed are combined to good advantage. One of | these, in a string color, uses the mono- tone for the jacket, with wide scarf of a checked weave in the same color, which is attached to the collar at the side, and so serves instead of a collar | at the front. The ends are fringed. The skirt is of the checked weave and the result is a new-looking Spring out- fi.. A new coat in a tweed mixture of green, brown and beige has a waist- length cape and a straight standing collar with Ascot tie. A ‘WORD as to navy blue for Spring, which seems to have been neglect- ed so far in this week's story of the new fashions. Navy blue is listed first by mxy houses as the Spring’s best color for suits, coats and dresses. How- ever, all are not agreed on this sub- ject, and others list the beige and brown combinations first, so it still re- | mains to be seen which will win out in popularity. But, of course, blues are always worn a great deal in the Spring | and are a welcome change from so much brown and black that we see dur- | | ing the Winter months. Some of the most attractive new dresses are being shown in navy blue, with touches of white. For instance, a sheer crepe with short fitted basque blouse buttoned all the way down the white rough crepe that widens out as it | leaves the neck and hangs freely. The | ruffed sleeves are shirred into drooped | shoulders and have long plain cuffs. | The dresses now depend so much upon | | ahove-the-waist interest that it is hardly necessary to mention the skirts at all, except to say that in general | they are straighter than they have been. Large bows of checked and | plaided taffeta are appearing as neck | finishes, especially on youthful dark blue frocks, and are very bright and THE EVEN NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. COCKROACHES. Periplaneta americana. OCKROACHES have an inter- esting family life but few householders are interested in it. In fact they would like to close their experience on this planet. Many' schemes have falled to free the land from this pest, but the latest suggestion should be given a trial. It is claimed by one who has tried it, that several toads residing in the kitchen became extremely plump in a short time and the famous patent leather boarders were seen no more. Few people know that the cockroach lives to be 8 years old, that the whole family lives peaceably together, and the children are locked after by the great-grandparents, uncles and aunts. The mothers never leave the future family, in the egg state, out of their possession, but carry the egg case about with them. It looks like the original model of physiclan’s satchel. Under a lens you can see it is highly polished and tooled. When the mother knows that the time has come for the young cock- roaches to be released from the snug case, she opens the egg capsule. Some- times one of the elders assists her. The baby roaches resemble their parents, only the wings are lacking. They pass through several molts, and each time the infant's skin splits down the back , a soft, white baby steps out of the old suit. In a very short time the garment darkens and hardens. It takes four or even five years for them to grow up. There is one family a year. Blessed with good appetites and per- fect digestion, where food is plentiful.

It is not unusual to see a marching army |leaving a house that did not provide them with enough rations. How did the hunger marchers learn that a hotel down the street left much food lying about? Was a scout sent around the neighborhood to report housing and focd conditions? The great-grandfathers led the way, followed by the younger generation, and the mothers with their egg satchels brought up the rear. Straight into the alley they marched and entered the new accommodations. There is not a boat or train that does not carry these travelers. They go class and steerage, It is not class distinction or money that has anything to do with it, merely opportunity. The family has a most offensive odor. It is not that they are unclean. They are most particular about their person and polish the patent leather suit daily. They whisk off every bit of dust from their legs and whisk their antennae through their jaws to keep them supple. the family must live | grapl They are as valuable to them as the cat's whiskers are, and used for the same purpose.

Personality is an energy or force. Unless that energy is properly utilized, you don’t cash in on what life should mean to you. If I were called” upon to name the one big occupation of the human race, I would call that occupation the search for ways and means of expressing per- sonality. When people find these ways and means, they are happy. You can see the results written all over their faces. One's face speaks 5o loudly that you cannot hear what one says. You may camoufiage a lot by your talk. But your face tells the truth about your distribution of ality force. Perhaps you have never had the time to try to find out what men, women, boys, and girls are-doing. Or perha you have never been told how to ol serve, how to find out. If not, start reading faces, gestures, walking gaits. Study the next 10 persons you meet on the street. You may find the most important truth about people—surpris- ing variations in personality expres- sions. Most persons seem to think that other individuals should by the very nature of things resemble themselves. Keep this practice up for a few weeks, and you will find a way to study your- self. The worth-while books on personality are walking the streets every day. Per- haps I should say that your personality laboratory is all about you. You couldn’t escape it, even if you would like to. Psychology as a science is the art of classifying personalities. Some per- sonalities are “shut-in,” quiet, thought- ful. Others are “turned out,” talka- tive, active. Make these rough dis- tinctions first. (Copyright, 1933.) S A Laundry Hints. When laundering hose or dainty gar- ments, you will find that a cheesecloth bag is an indispensable aid. The bag | need not be more than half a yard square. Leave one side open, through which to run a drawstring. Once in the bag, hose or fine materials can be squeezed in the suds or clean water without danger of unnecessary strain, or of damage from rough finger nails.

LIFEBUOY &eizs WOMEN’S FEATURES.’ ~ UNCLE RAY’S CORNER Friendly Islands, N the year 1777, the famous British seaman and traveler, Capt. Cook, visited & group of islands in the South Pacific. He was not the first white man who had come there, but he gave them a name which is still used to describe them. He called them the Friendly Islands, because of the kindly way in which he was treated by ;Ihl: :\l:‘t:m during the seven weeks of These islands also go by the name of Tonga Islands. You may take your choice when you speak of them. There are three good sized islands in the group, and scores of small ones. Some of the small ones are hardly more than rocks jutting above the surface of the sea. The islands were made by the eruption of volcanoces under the water, and by colonies of those strange animals known as corals which leave their skeletons behind them and thus build up “land.” The natives of the islands—known as Tongans—number about 25,000. They have light-brown skins and pleasant- looking faces. They are strong of muscle and are fairly tall. In 1900 the Friendly Islands came under the power of Great Britain, but the native king was allowed to keep his throne. After his death in 1918, his daughter, Saloti, became queen. The Tonga folk make cloth which is cal " " It is formed with the inner bark of trees. Sometimes all the women in a village come together ]w make tapa.

Tapa is rough, but it serves for clgthing and mats, In diys of long ago, the chief weapong of Tongans were clubs. One kind of club_was short, with a heavy knot at one ®nd. This was used for throwing at “the enemy.” Another kind, often made from ironwood, was shaped almost like a base ball bat and was used for hand-to-hand fighting. A game still played by the natives is called “lafo.” Dics made from coco~ nut shells are placed on mats, and the players throw other dics in an effort to knock off those of their opponents.
