B—12 Frock in Contrasting Colors 2 BY BARBARA BELL. ON'T think it is too soon to plan your short-sleeve over- blouses and skirts. They are year. The smartest ones are the two-color combinations, made to look as though an odd blouse were teamed up with a separate skirt. Outfits of this kind are the easiest sort to make. Our pattern for the model sketched is ever so easy to make. The overblouse features kimono sleeves, finished with cuffs. Darts, placed above the bust and at the waist- line, give a smart fit. The neckline is a plain round one—slashed in the front and turned back in small revers. The view of the dress in the back- ground features one material, and shows two patch pockets, put on in a new slantwise fashion, that is popular in spectator sports clothes., These are optional. The wrap-around skirt makes an appeal to women who love change.. It can be worn interchangeably with sweaters, polo shirts, tailored blouses or cardigans. For wear in town formal fabric should be used. We especially recom- mend washable velvet, moire, satin, taffeta and similar materials of quality. Even in plain blouses these fabrics take on an air of elegance going to be seen early this | MAGAZINE PAGE. over a skirt that is correspondingly fine. Smart sports material, too, can be | counted upon to look right in this | model. Mesh wools and natural col- ored cashmere jersey are being worn with wool skirts—monotone, or figured with plaids, checks or stripes. For sports flashy colors are in order. Among the cottons are waffle pique, surface-trick crepes (like matelasses), ginghams, fine seersuckers and cotton meshes. Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1559-B is designed in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Corresponding bust measurements, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 (34) re- quires about 134 yards of 39-inch light material, 12 yards of 54-inch dark material. Every Barbara Bell pattern includes an illustrated instruction guide which is easy to follow. BARBARA BELL, Washington Star. Inclose 25 cents in coins for Pattern No. 1559-B. Size...ees Name ....

You Can Be Beautiful As Told to V;rg;m'a Vincent BY WYNNE GIBSON. 1?4 'VE tried every beauty treat- ment in the world once,” said ‘Wynne Gibson, that winsome blond with the strange, gray- green eyes, who has worked steadily toward cinema fame since the days when she was cast in plays which seemed fated only for rehearsal and seldom for continued perform- ance. “So if I haven’t been suc- cessful in beauty, it is not because I have not been told how. “I have dis- carded facials. I don't diet, be- cause I can never seem to weigh more than 103 pounds, and as I am5 feet 2 inches tall, I don’t look o verweight even before the cam- era. Idon't ever allow curling irons to be used on my hair—I always have a finger wave, as it is softer and less drying to my hair. I don't use complicated creams or masks.” Having tried almost everything, Miss Gibson seems to have narrowed her beauty treatments to a few ges- tures which any one can use while sitting before a well-lighted dressing table. “I can't tell you how much better your hair will be if you brush it for hours,” she said. “Literally for hours, I mean. I brush mine for two hours every day with a brush that pulls the Wynne Gibson, Sonnyaayinds BY FANNY Y.

C, Winter BY D. C. PEATTIE. 'HE Winter woods are not utterly devoid of bird song—if you will admit something less than a sweet melody to be a song. The lovely, white-throat sparrow, to be sure, is fallen silent now, and the very dap- per nuthatches emit a petulant scold- ing note, but the chicadees pluck a thin, spinnety wire of song, and often, as I walk through the woods, I hear the soft, very high tsip of the juncoes, so delicate that it sounds like some little insect in the Fall. The brown creeper emits a sort of soft “screep,” a few squeaky notes, of very mild exultation, I suppose, at !E\dmz something to eat in the barren crevices of the bark. A little crickety twitter falls from the golden crowned kinglet; the ruby crowned has no more to say than a wren- like scolding, but the tufted titmouse emits a loud, nasal “yank, yank.” The goldfinch oops from bush to bush, crying, “I've cheated ye” or “per-chickoree” If by any chance you hear a call note that sounds as if a bell had been struck, but the metal pressed as soon as intoned, it will be the purple finch. The Winter wren says little more than a “quip- quap.” There is one bird that sings as sweetly, as poignantly in Winter as in Summer, and I am not speaking of the meadowlark, who sometimes, on a day of thaw, cries out upon the damp airs and the south wind with a sweet, windy ventriloguistic note. I am speaking of the tree sparrow. I see them in little brown droves and gray flurries, feeding on the weed seeds, even when the crusted snow has mounted almost to the tops of the stalks. How merrily their little voices ring out through the tingling air—s'weedit, sweedit, weet!—a deli- cate note, but so clear and fine, like sleigh bells, like the tinkling of ice crystals. There is a sound, if you like, to confound the wise and the weary, to lift the heart and cheer the soil, and give & man his courage back. Uncle Ray Athens. ITALY has Rome, a very old city; but Greece has Athens, which is even older! Indeed there is no other capital city in Europe which can boast such great age. We do not know exactly how old Athens is, but it dates back at least 3,000 years, and probably much longer. Perhaps the most famous spot in Athens is the Acropolis, a great rocky hill. In early times the hill was a place of last resort for the Athenians. Using marble steps, they could climb to the top and hold off an army which might try to attack them. Famous buildings were set up on the hill, and greatest of all was the Parthenon. The name “Parthenon” may be translated as “the Virgin temple.” It was given in honor of the goddess Athena, who was supposed to guard Athens. After Greece turned to the Chris- tian religion, the Parthenon was made to serve as a Christian church. Thirty-four years before Columbus sailed to the New World, Athens was captured by the Turks; and the Par- thenon was turned into a Moham- medan mosque. Two centuries later the Turks used the Parthenon as a powder magazine during a battle, and there was an explosion which partly destroyed the building. Even after the explosion, the Par- thenon remained a wonder to visitors. Some of the beautiful marble columns were left standing; and during the last six years several broken columns have been put together, and placed !in the right position. In days of old Athens was a repub- lic, but Greece fell under the rule of foreign nations—Macedonia, Rome, the Goths and Turkey. The people} won freedom from the Turks only a little more than a century ago. Greece then became a kingdom. After a popular vote in 1924, Greece was declared a republic, with Athens as the capital city. The present population is.about A VIEW OF THE ACROPOLIS WITH ‘THE PARTHENON AT THE SUM- MIT.

(Copyright. 1935.) The Debunker BY JOHN HARVEY FURBAY, Ph.D. A CRIMINAL CANNOT BE TOLD DR. CESARE 'LOMBROSO, an Italian anthropologist, once pro- duced a theory that there was a “criminal type,” with certain features, such as the “gorilla face,” “criminal ear,” etc. So many exceptions have been found to such a theory that it has been abandoned by modern crim- inologists. It is a common fact that persons of high character and stand- ing, such as ministers and teachers, have been mistaken for crooks and criminals; while many outlaws pass us on the street and appear as “honest- faced” citizens. (Copyright, 1035.) Dorothy Dix Says EAR DOROTHY DIX—Do you think that the mother who works out can be as efficient a worker and as efficient a mother as e woman who devotes herself entirely to her job or her en? TRUTH. Answer—No, for the very conclusive reason that no person can occupy two spaces at the same time, or do two different things simul- taneously. It is a physicai and mental impossibility. Holding down & job is a career in itself. Being a mother and rearing a family is also a career in itself. Each of them takes all of the ability, physical and mental, that any woman has. and she cannot divide herself between them and make the success of either one that she could if she had been able to concentrate on that alone. OF‘ COURSE, many women who have children do follow gainful occupations outside of the home and they do succeed to a degree. But if they reach the top of the ladder they are bound to do it at the price of the children. For success in any career is won by unremitting work, and the person must give to it not only the best that is in her, but her very heart and soul. It must be her chief interest in life, the thing she thinks about the first thing when she awakes, the last thing in her mind when she goes to sleep. The woman who rises to be a high-priced secretary must concen- trate on her work, but how can she do that if she left a sick child at home, or if the cook has left and the nursemaid is not to be trusted? ‘The woman who is a doctor must be ready to answer calls at any time, day or night, no matter what is happening at home. The woman who is a professional singer or actress must be gone from home weeks at a time. ANY woman who works outside of the home must of necessity leave her children’s rearing in the hands of hirelings. She cannot help form their characters. She cannot establish the intimacy with them that the mother has if she is always with her youngsters. She is always an outsider, who comes in at night, often too tired and worn out even to want to play with them. And no woman can be of real worth to her employer if one lobe of her brain is on her work and the remainder of it is worrying over how Johnny's cough is, and whether the nurse will remember to feed the baby, and if the cook ordered the dinner. Of course, sometimes it is necessary for & mother to work outside of the home, but it is always a calamity. o DOROTHY DIX. * * DEAR DOROTHY DIX—We have an adopted son and have recently bought a home and moved into a new neighborhood. The woman next door has several children somewhat older than our boy, and she has influenced the children in the neighborhood not to play with him. She says she doesn't know what kind of parents he had. This is breaking our hearts as well as the child's, for this little lad has brought us all kinds of joy heretofore, and we are wondering if we will have to move from place to place because people will not let their children associate with him. Answer—Certainly you will not, for there surely can't be more than one such narrow-minded, cruel woman in the world as this neighbor of yours. Decent, right-minded people feel no such prejudice against an adopted child. On the contrary, they are filled with sympathy for it and with respect and admiration for the man and woman who have adopted it and given it a chance in life. I would move away from that ‘woman as soon as I could, because she is like a venomous serpent.

Mr. Sima 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 one-aver-ome principle, which the Sims group of players was the first to employ and develop. What Do You Think? HERE are certain card situa- tions which cannot be covered by any bidding system, no matter what claims the sys- tem’s originator may make for his brain child’s universality. That is why I have constantly reiterated that I am merely attempting to set up a few signposts on the road to bet- ter contract. When an unusual dis- tribution comes up, you must use your own imagination in an effort to reach the correct contract. A Ax-x-x vx *K & K-J-10-5-4-3-2 K-10-8-x-x North and South had a partial score of 20 points. In this instance, at least, the partial was more of a handi- cap than a help. Had North and South been starting from scratch, so to speak, South would have insisted on one of his two suits and eventually have obtained the contract at four hearts, unless North was foolishly ob- stinate. Both partners remembering the partial, however, the bidding went as follows: One heart, two clubs, two diamonds, three clubs, three hearts, four clubs, all pass. . North might have saved a ‘trick in the play of the hand, but he can never even come close to making his con- tract. After he had gone down three tricks, South pointed out that four hearts is unbeatable. I am of the opinion that North should pass three hearts. Of course, 80 far as North is concerned, it looks as if his hand is pretty worthless un- less it is played at clybs; but the blank king of diamonds is a tremendously important card. South should lose no more than one spade, one diamond and two hearts on the hand, no mat- ter how pessimistic North may feel; whereas North must be extremely opti- mistic to believe that he is going to lose no more than two clubs and one spade. Howard Schenkefl blames South. He says that South should never per- mit North to play the hand in clubs. In other words, after North bids four clubs, South should bid four hearts. Waldemar Von Zedtwitz, on the other hand, suggests that South should re- | bid his hearts before mentioning his diamond suit at all. Much as I ad- mire the Baron's game, I differ with him in this instance. South is per- fectly willing to play the hand at either hearts or diamonds. The men- tion of the diamond suit at the three level would certainly lead North to suspect a four-card suit. Had I been North, I would feel that I had no option but to go to four clubs. The bidding, in my mind, would show a six-four pattern, leaving a strong in- ferential possibility that South held at least one club. & A-10-8-5-4-3 ‘The opponents are not vulnerable; you are. After East had opened with a bid of one heart, what would you, holding South’s cards, do? It's all right. A number of other players were puzzled, too. (Copyright. 1035.)

T’le Romance Of YOI"’ Name BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, Tidauell 'HE ancient spelling of this name was Tidswell, and was the name of a parish in Derbyshire. The ily of this name, called “de Tidswell” was living in that parish at an early time | and undoubtedly the parish took its name from the family omitting the characteristic Norman prefix “de.” It is believed that the family originally came from France. John Tidwell was one of the earliest of the American settlers bearing this name. He came over with his two brothers, Richard and Robert, and settled in Virginia. The tradition in some Tidwell families exists that they were French Huguenots who had fled to England, then to America, seeking personal liberty and religious freedom, These brothers settled along the Po- tomac River in Westmoreland County, about 1683. According to the records, they were strong supporters of the King of England. William Tidwell, of this line, was a settler in South Carolina, and one of the pioneers of Meriweather County.

You know the two families are dis- tantly related. As for Bobby Coon, he remained for some time in the tree where he had escaped. When he did go to the ground he took care to hurry off in a direction opposite to that taken by Buster Bear and presently had quite forgotten his recent adventure as he prowled along the Laughing Brook and dabbled in the water and felt around in the mud for what he might find, and wasn't particularly disap- pointed if he didn’t find anything. But Bobby was to do little more wandering about. A day or two later it turned suddenly cold, very cold. The Smiling Pond was covered with ice. There was ice along the edges of the Laughing Brook. The ground in the swamps was frozen too hard for digging. Bobby knew it was time to retire and he was quite ready. He was very fat, for he had had good living. So as he entered his home high up in a big hollow tree he knew that it would be some time before he would venture out again. He had been there only a few mine utes when Mrs. Bobby arrived. She, | too, was fat and equally ready for a long sleep. “I guess Winter is really here at last,” said Bobby sleepily. “I'm willing,” remlied Mrs. Bobby as she snuggled down beside Bobby. “I never was more ready for it than I am right now. I hope the chiidren will have sense enough not to stay out too long. They are fat now but if they roam about too long they will use up some of that fat and they will need all they have before the Winter is over.” “Jack Frost will be pinching their toes and that will send them home fast enough,” replied Bobby drowsily.

O HIS enemies, his colors say, “Stop, look and move on,” for | the salamander can cover his body with a sweat that is terribly bitter and offensive to _those who seek to consume him. ‘The salamanders travel at night in the Spring, and like their neighbors, the toads and the frogs, their chil- dren spend their youth in the water. The eggs are a good size and are spherical in shape. Through the jelly mass, which you can see close to the edge of the pond or marsh waters, the little salamanders may be seen. Their transparent house Iis easy to find, and the wrigglers are making strenuous efforts to get out of it. As soon as the youngsters leave the mass, they cling, row on row, to the outside of it. After getting used to - NZANZAY VAN 7 o NS = the water about them they let go and wriggle quickly away to the weeds, hiding under this shelter. Something tells them it is best to seek a place where they will not be too easily seen. A pond or spring is a fighting arena for the creatures who dwell in it. No wonder so many thousands of eggs are laid, in order that a few may live to continue the race. At 1 year old the little salamanders are black and yellow. They have large, round eyes that look brightly at you, and they are expert hunters. They have exchanged a flat tail for a long, round one. The first was most helpful as a rudder, but now that they wish to skither through the grass, a round one is the best. As you can see, they have large spots on their backs. This salamander is our most common one. You will get much fun, watching one of these alert fellows size up an | aphid-infested plant.
