B—8 M AGAZINE PAGE. Girl's Middy Blouse and Skirt BY BARBARA BELL. f IDDY blouses have come back | to us in a big way—wafted up on the tidal wave of the new simplicity. Mother and daughter both are delighted with the revival of this satisfactory fashion, for the places you can wear styles of this type are only limited by the quality and colors of the ma- terials that go into them. For school wear nothing is nicer | than g blue serge skirt and a white middy blouse of gaberdine, twill, sateen or linen. De luxe outfits, for Sunday and formal wear, are made of cream flannel or serge—braided in navy or red. Light interpretations are | British in the extreme and are looked upon in many circles as correct for very young girls to wear to parties. These little suits can be quickly made if the pattern you use is a good one. Ours we recommenc for its clear-sailing simplicity. The skirt shows the customary pleats back and front. A band finishes off the top, and into it are worked (by hand or machine) buttonholes, at spaced in- tervals, so that the skirt can be re- moved from the cotton underbody when the latter has to be washed. Middies themselves have not changed much in the last few dec- ades. The current trend is for deeper sailor collars and a simplification of styling in the front. Pockets are omitted in our strides toward even greater simplicity. The sailor tie, which adds an important note to the costume, may be either purchased at the neckwear counter or made of red, | blue or black silk. | Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1552-B is | designed in sizes 8, 10, 12 and 14 years. Size 8 years requires about 14 yards of 54-inch material for skirt, 112 yards of 36-inch material for blouse; | 1, yard 36-inch 'awn for underbody. See guide for braid yardage. Every Barbara Bell pattern includes an illustrated instruction guide which is easy to understand. BARBARA BELL Washington Star Inclose 25 cents in coins for Pattern No. 1552-B.

BOUT three thousand years ago the body of a woman was placed in a tomb in Egypt. The tomb was opened close to half a | century ago by W. Flinders Petrie, ‘} noted English scientist, and he found many interesting objects. The mum- my was not well preserved, but near it was an ancient chair, and there were earrings, beads, combs, pomade jars and a bronze mirror as well. Most im- | portant, there were two pipes or flutes —*“Lady Maket’s flutes,” as they came to be called. Lady Maket’s flutes were taken to a museum at Oxford, England, and placed on public view. They really formed two parts of the same instru- ment—a double-flute. The length of AN OLDEN MUSICIAN PLAYING A “DOUBLE FLUTE.” each was found to be not quite 11 feet. One had four holes in the side, | while the other had three holes. Other flute remains have been found in Egypt, along with pictures of | them being blown. It appaers that they were played, usually if not al- ways, by women. They were blown My Neighbor Says: Light brown sugar mixed with cinnamon is very good served on hot buitered wheat cakes or waffles. If one tires of vegetable stew with dumplings, try putting the cooked stew in a well-buttered deep dish and put on an upper crust of biscuit dough with some holes cut in it to bake.

They were held in the form of a “V,” and the fingers of the right hand stopped and opened the holes of one pipe, while the other was controlled by the left | hand. | The ancient Greeks also made use | of the two-piped flute, but the Syrinx, or Panpipe, came into more fame in | Greece. ‘The Panpipe, also called “pipes of Pan,” was made up of a series of hol- low reeds of different lengths. The number of reeds or pipes, was not al- | ways the same—there might be a dozen or there might be 20—but they | were fastened in a row and no two | were of the same length. By blowing on the open ends of the reeds, the | Greeks were able to make musical sounds. Not knowing who had invented the instrument, the Greeks made up a story in which Pan, the shepherd god,, was given the honor. They said that he had pursued a nymph named Syrinx, but that just as he was clasp- | ing her in his arms she turned into | reeds. From the reeds, the tale goes | on to say, the god made the first Pan- | pipe. | The modern flute is a single tube, or pipe, with a mouthpiece at the side, | not at the extreme end. It has an | important place in the orchestra. Many persons find it delightful to lis- ten to a soprano voice blending with the notes of a flute. (For history section of your scrap- book.)

Contract BY P. HAL SIMS. Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest, living contract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team, now disbanded, and has won 24 national champion- ships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the ome-over-one principle, which the Sims group of players was the first to employ and develop. Another End Play. FTER all, when you are dis- cussing the play of a hand in & bridge column, there are so many aspects to the whole thing, even though there are millions of ditferent cara comiina- tions. So if 1 appear to harp on squeezes, end plays and coups, what else can I do? I am helpless, my friends. My hands, as well as those of my compatriots, are tied. I am jést as sick of end plays as you are. They come up constantly, however, even in the best bridge cir- cles. But this ic the last time that I am going to dissect one—positively the iast time, until I run short of hands again. The bidding: East _ South North 1 Diamond Pass 1 Spade Pass 2 No Trump Pass Pass Pass South knew that he should sign off with three spades, but this was the first time he had played with his partner, and be was afraid of North’s going blithely o three no trumps. North was ncted for having a low, cunning naturc. East had played against him before. Therefore, on the bidding, he suspected the strength of North'’s diamond suit. It was his best suit, anyway. He opened a low diamond. Personally, I should have led the jack of hearts—not an in- spired lead, but one which would do no harm. North won West's eight with the jack, laid down the king and queen of spades and drove out West’s ace of hearts. West exited with the nine of clubs. East took North's king with his ace and reiurned the 10 of clubs. Having started out with diamonds, he should have teen faithful to them and played back the king of dia- monds. This will embarrass North seriously. In fict, it will set him. North now took full advantage of his opportunities. He played out the ace of diamonds and the queen of hearts, noting tne drop of East’s jack with a smile and quiet satisfaction. ‘West was put in the lead with a club and took two club tricks before he had to lead into the dummy. Upshot: North, that lucky son of a Mississippi River gambler, made three no trumps. ‘West ‘Tomorrow’s Hand.

C., MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1934 WOMNEN'S FRAPURES, Dorothy Dix Says !The Debunker| =~ You Can Be Beautiful What'’s Wrong With the Modern Woman 2 Never Was Her Sex So Beautiful, So Intelligent, So Entertaining. N EVER in the who'e history of the feminine sex have women been s0 attractive as they are now, and never have women found it so hard to secure attentions from men. Never has it been so diffi- cult to catch a husband, or to kerp one after he was caught. Never was there so many old maids and never so many divorces. In this present year of grace, feminine pulchritude has reached its high mark for all time. The country is full of Miss Americas who could take the title away from Venus de Milo any day, and even in the lower beauty branches there are multitudes of girls who are balm to the eyes. In fact, you hardly ever see a really homely woman now- adays. Modern girls, taking them by and large, are 100 per cent better looking than their grandmothers were. IN GRANDMA'S time a woman had to stay even as Nature made her. If she was lJumpy and fat, she got lumpier and fatter as time went on. If she had a saleratus-biscuit complexion, and stringy, mouse- colored hair, she accepted them as an affliction set on her by a mys- terious Providence. But the modern girl, who wasn’t born in the bathing-beauty class, snaps her fingers in the face of Mother Nature and proceeds to show her a trick or two. If she is fat, she diets and exercises herself down to whatever weight she desires. She turns her sandy hair into platinum blond or gold or silver or henna, and puts a crimp in it that is twice as good as the real thing. She turns a sallow skin into a peaches-and- cream confection that looks good enough to eat, and with her trusty lipstick metamorphoses a pale, straight mouth into a Cupid’s bow. 'HEN, too, the modern woman has learned how to dress. She has become clothes conscious and an adept at picking out colors and lines that spotlight her good points and camouflage her bad ones. She knows that fine feathers make fine birds, and the result is that the frump, once so common, is almost as extinct as the dodo. Just consider how seldom you see a really plain girl or a dowdy, ill-dressed woman, and you will realize that one of the greatest modern improvements is the improvement in women'’s looks. Women are much more interesting than they used to to talk to. In former times few be. They are far more entertaining women had much education. In great-grandmother’s day the question was gravely debated as to whether it would corrupt a young female's morals to teach her geog- raphy. So women could not have been very thrilling conversationalists. AS A matter of fact, a really nice young girl wasn't supposed to have an idea in her head beyond how to make tatting, and the most she ever talked about were the birds and the flowers. All books were carefully expurgated before a young person was permitted to read them, and it would have been a greater blot on her escutchen for her to have had an original idea than it would for her to have committed an original sin. Poor, dear grandma couldn’t have been much of a social asset to a clever, highly educated man. But granddaughter can give the best of them a run for their money. She is educated and cultivated and well read. She can discuss the latest books and the political situation and the stock market and Babe Ruth’s batting average, and has views on the Balkan question and the New Deal, and she knows the newest gossip. She has traveled and been places and seen and done things, and that has given her a broader outlook on life. She is no longer shocked at everything that is new to her, or thinks that the whole world should conform to her little provincial habits and customs. IT MUST be a lot more fun for a man to go about now with Sophisticated Sally, who knows what it is all about, than it was with Dumb Dora, who missed & lot of the fine points of a book or a play or a story, and where a man and watching his step lest he trip that would horrify her to death. had to be always explaining things over his tongue and say something Then the modern woman knows how to do things that grand- mother didn’t. Grandmother swooned at a scratch on her finger. Miss Up-to-Date could wade through buckets of blood without turning a hair to give first aid in an accident. miles to save her life. all night. Grandmother couldn’t walk three The modern girl can hike all day and dance Girls are prettier than they ever were before, they are more amusing and entertaining companions, they are better chums, and yet men flocked around grandmother like bees around a honeypot and the modern girl has to work like a beaver for dates.

LEN was a syllable commonly used in many Celtic names of places, such as Glendinning, Glendor, Glen- eaglis, Glenister, Glenfield, Glenham, Glennie and many other forms. The name, of course, is derived from the word “glen,” meaning a narrow valley. All of the place names mentioned have become surnames. Settlers came from various parts | of England and Ireland to America during the pevied of colonization. { Some made their homes in the South, | while others established themselves in | the New England Colony. Among the | New England settlers was Charles | Glenn, a printer, who came over prior | to 1682, and settled in Boston. The coat of arms reproduced is accredited to Lewis Washington Glenn of Baltimore, Md., in 1801. The color description is: “Argent, a fesse gules between three martlets sable. Crest: A martlet sable.

The ele- phant, however, is not really drink- ing through his trunk at all; he is filling up the trunk so that he can insert the end of it in his mouth and force out the water. He uses his trunk much as we use a medi- cine dropper. His trunk is merely an extension of his nose, and he could not drink through it any more than we could through our noses. (Copyright, 1934.) How It Started BY JEAN NEWT A Good Berth. “HE HAS a good berth” we fre- quently hear, the reference usually being to a person who is comfortably placed, either as an em- ploye in private business or as a public official. As is the case with many of our metaphors, we owe this to the par- lance of the sea. On shipboard, some of the beds, or berths, are better sit- uated and equipped than others. ‘To have a good berth meant a more comfortable, pleasanter place to work or live in. From its nautical to our everyday application was an easy step. (Copyright. 1934.) As Told to Virginia Vincent BY LORETTA YOUNG. “MY IDEA of beauty is porcelain, I suppose,” said lovely Loretta ‘Young, as she took an e: of it from the mantle of room. She lives in a Colonial house on Bev- erly Boulevard in Hollywood. She probably had no idea that she looked very much like a piece of porce- lain herself, standing there |in her white | damask P r living Loretta Youns. jade-green venetian blinds behind her. Her eyes have a luster and her loose, blondish hair, naturally blond— neither gold nor platinum, but lighter than ash—falls very naturally in a long bob. Loretta is hardly out of her teens, and yet she has had a movie career for more than six years. “Don’t interpret that in terms of artificial beauty,” she hastened to add, after a few seconds’ consideration of the porcelain piece. “I like things 50 natural that I want them around me.” “For instance?” “Well, I like orange blossom per- | fume very much,” she said. “In fact, so much that I am planting orange trees in that piece of ground next door so that I may smeil the fragrance and actually see it.” As she talks she jece | has the habit of opening her eyes, of raising her eyebrows so that you feel she has thought out every wqrd and thet she is thinking them out for you alone. It is a mannerism that is very flattering and entirely individual. “I like gardenia perfume—the only other perfume I ever wear,” Miss ‘Young went on to say, having replaced the porcelain on the mantel. “And I wear gardenias a great deal, too. When they fade I take the leaves and crunch them up and sprinkle them over my lingerie. They give my things a fragrance I have never found in sachet. “There are no beauty rites in my life,” she laughed, when she was asked about beauty treatments. “None, None whatever. You can't call baths, shampoos, manicures and eyewashes beauty treatments. The best way for any one to be beautiful, especially in Hollywood, is to learn to live on bal- anced rations. Parties in moderate amount; knowing when to go home is probably one of the best things to do to preserve your face. That means sleep. Don’t overeat or drink. You can't feel off-keel without looking it. “One of the best beauty treatments ‘I could have,” said this young star, stepping to the French window and pointing, “is usually taken out in my sunken garden in a deck chair.” This is what might be known as the outside as well as the inside story | of how Loretta Young keeps that lovely | appearance so much like the porcelain she makes her hobby.

N YOUR walks in the woods in the early Summer, you may have the pleasure of this fairy’s company. At one time, she was seen only in the quiet aisles of forests and deep woods. So many of her haunts have been destroyed, it is not urfusual to find her in the fields, along the hedgeroads and like places.

ONE of the mammals that we think of as rare—at least when we come to pay for a coat made of his hide— is the mink, but there are actually a good many records of mink around the District. The mink is one of the creatures that are not likely to vanish before ‘the loss of the forests, for while one of them is scarcely able to shift for himself among the haunts of man, as is the skunk or weasel, he has many of the qualities that make an endur- ing species. He is a skillful killer of grouse, mice, squirrels and other small creatures, he remains active all Winter “and can swim under water, climb trees, disappear in plain sight and is wondrous wary of hunters and traps. His enemies, the hawks and the foxes, are not one bit quicker than he. The mink will hunt by day or by night. He is the special enemy of the grouse, having a nose for these ground-loving birds, which delight to rest together in flocks. In his at- tack he is almost sure to catch one of them. ‘This might make the mink seem an undesirable animal.

Consider always and take heed That there’s no chance of being treed. —Bobby Coon. EING treed is a most uncom- fortable feeling. Ask Bobby Coon; he knows. He has been treed by Dogs when he was foolish enough to stray too far from home during the hunt- ing season, and he knows just what an uncomfortable feeling it is. You are safe for the time being, but you are trapped, so to speak, and so you have no way of knowing how long you will be safe. And whether or not you are in real danger, you are bound to have the unpleasant feeling of being more or less helpless. Once fairly treed, there is little you can do about it, Bobby Coon had left the Smiling Pool and gone back up the Laughing Brook. When he was back in the Green Forest he left the Laughing Brook and headed for a certain tree in which was a nest of Redtail the Hawk. It was a big nest, built mostly of sticks. Each Spring Mr. and Mrs. i Redtail had added to it, for they are feathered folk who have a deep love of home, and so return to the same nest year after year. It was daylight when Bobby reached that tree. He was still some distance from his own home in a big hollow IT WAS DAYLIGHT WHEN BOBBY REACHED THAT TREE. tree, the home where he would spend the Winter. However, he didn’t mind in the least. He would spend the day sleeping in Redtail's nest, for the Redtails had gone South long since, so of course the nest was no longer used by them. But Bobby had used it more than once before, and so had others of his-family when they had happened to be near at daybreak. It was a splendid place to sleep the day away, especially if the day was bright, for then Bobby could have a splendid sun bath while he slept, and he dearly loves a sun bath. He smelled around the foot of the tree to find out if any one else had Real Throat reliet:l Medicated with ingredi- ents of Vicks VapoRub ! OVERCOMES, BAD BREATHH Stories BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. one had climbed that tree that night, s0 up he went with no more waste of time, and in 5 minutes he was asleep in his airy bed. It was warm for this time of year. Even had it been cold. Bobby had a fur coat that would have kept him comfortable, and jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun did his part all day long. No one disturbed him, for Blacky the Crow didn’t happen that way, and Blacky was the only one likely to trouble him. Late in the afternoon Bobby awoke. For a time he just lay there, yawning and stretching and trying to make up his mind which way he would go that night. A sound caught his attention He listened. There it was again. A fretful whine. Cautiously Bobby | peered over the edge of the nest. | Down at the foot of the tree was a large form that looked all black from | that distance. Even as Bobby looked the new comer stood up, dug his claws into the bark of the tree and slowly and clumsily began to climb, all the time talking to himself fretfully, “Prickly Porky!” exclaimed Bobby under his breath. “With all the trees in the Green Forest from which to pick, why did he have to choose this one? He doesn't sound happy. In fact, he sounds out of sorts and peev- ish. Perhaps he won't stay in this tree long. I hope he won't. If he does stay, perhaps he will go out on one of the branches and leave the way clear for me to get down.” But Prickly Porky the Porcupine, he who carries a thousand little spears in his coat, did nothing of the sort. He seated himself on a big limb close to the trunk of the tree, and appar- ently he meant to stay there. Plainly he was in a bad temper, and plainly he was not hungry. So there was no knowing how long he would remain right there, whining and grumbling to himself. Bobby Coon realized that he was treed. There was no getting down while Prickly Porky remained there, and that tree wasn't near enough to any other for him to climb across from one branch to another. He was treed. There was no doubt about that. (Copyright. 1934.) . DR. HAY’S Complete Articles on Health in One Book Dr. Hay' Chart ceee Hay Diet Pocket Guide. .
