MAGAZINE PAGE. Tunic Dress in Printed Silk BY BARBARA BELL. HE tunic silhouette for Spring is being played up from two! angles. One shows the over- blouse treatment as it comes | to us in two-color combina- | tions, and the other is a longer, slim- | mer version that strikes the figure at about the knee. Today's model is a smart example of | the latter type. For dresses of printed fabric this is the tunic length of the season. The smartest frocks are made of one material without a touch of contrast. Prints are a deciding in- fluence in costume design, this sea- son. And tunics adapt themselves, better than other styles, to the spirit | of the new materials. Like most silk frocks for Spring, | this dress shows the neck-line softened by a scarf that pulls through tabs at the sides. Sleeves are important, too. Most of them are comfortably free and | easy. Raglan lines are popular. Here | they give the waist a soft detail that | is in keeping with the picturesque | style of the dress. | Groups of pleats. in the back and | front of the under-section of the skirt, | give surplus fullness for walking with- | out interfering with the slim, straight | lines of the silhouette. | | Soft, | in multi-color patterns. Prints are a story in themselves. dark shades of red. blue and green appear in unexpected combina- tions on light backgrounds. One notes a great deal of red, coupled with blue, on white. Navy and black heighten the bold effect of vivid flower designs Geometric motifs are used chiefly for sports, travel and town wear.

Psychics. ; COI’][I’BCI BY P. HAL SIMS. Y WIFE, Mrs. Dorothy Rice 8ims, is generally credited with the introduction of the barricade psychic. For ex- ample, South bids one dia- mond, West doubles, and North hold- ing a diamond bust, bids either two or three no trumps, If doubled, he plans to exit gracefully into four diamonds. This type of bidding has been carried to extremes, however. Every third hand, South will bid one heart, West_two clubs, North three hearts, and East, whose hand seems to indi- cate the desirability of a five-club sacrifice, will now interfere with & three no-trumps bid. In most jn- stances, these psychic no trumps are coldly ignored by the opponents. It is taken for granted that the no trumper has a good rescue suit if his partner has bid, his suit is generally the same as his partner’s. Other- wise, it is some long minor. To double would be merely wasting time. I have seen many hands, where the bidding has gone: One heart, one no trump, three hearts. As 1 said yesterday, this bid has almost attained the dignity of a convention. It simply tells both your partner and your opponents that you have a lot of your partner's suit, and that you're probably going to sacrifice against the opponents’ game bid. If you want to use it, it is harmless, provided you don’t find yourself playing a hand in two no trumps some day, undoubled, and vul- nerable. Incidentally, here is another type of psychic. South took the bit be- tween his teeth, and won an unde- served game. Gazing fondly at his seven club tricks, South opened with one no trump. West overcalled with two spades, and North bid three diamonds. Undaunted, South went to three no trumps. Both East and West suspected something fishy, but there was noth- ing either of them could do about it, except lead hearts. They can take six hearts, and two spades, setting South four tricks. But how can | you expect West to open hearts from | the ace, queen, jack? Spades were led and returned, and when South finally got around to laying dowri the queen of diamonds, West covered with the king. By that time, East had discarded a diamond, so South made a mere matter of five no trumps. Monday's Hand.

That's what West thought. After all, East did a lot| | of bidding. So West confidently dou- | | bled four spades, and North made five. | It's easy enough. Just try it. | (Copyright. 1935.) Nature's Children BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Purple Flowering Raspberry. | Rubus odoratus. | ROM May until June, the chil- | dren of the roadside try to at- | tract the attention of all the ] busy nectar seekers passing that way. Do you know the purple flowering raspberry or have you | mistaken it for a wild rose? Manv people have. During the whole flow- ering season, this raspberry develops | flowers, matures seeds and goes gaily over the stone fences, along the road- | | | sides and even climbs right over the backs of her neighbors in order to ex- tend her range. Raspberries occupy a place between shrubs and perennial herbs—a sort of borderland relationship; like the one the alders have between the shrubs and trees. However, you will want to inspect this thrifty flower and get some idea of her schemes. She does not need to protect her long. stout stem with sharp thorns or prickles, as her neighbors have to. She does not permit her | flowers to be in bloom at one time or ‘ even a short time. This insures seeds aplenty. Suppose we do have a spell ' wet weather? There will be sun- iny days on end to accomplish what the flower mother wishes for her chil- dren. The giant leaves are storing food every day, and such leaves! Three to five lobed and a foot across. Try taking the larger ones and folding them into cups. A drink of water from this dainty green goblet will have a special flavor of the outdoors for you. The flowers are very showy and may be a deep royal purple or a magenta of shi pink. The flower hostess broadcasts | her fragrant messages to the bumble- bees, most welcome of all guests, who | not only have long tongues to enable Uncié Ray Budapest, Hungary. THERE was once a city called Buda; and across the river was the city { of Pest. They joined together and | made Budapest. That happened 62| | years ago. Buda was the older of the cities, | dating back to the time of the ancient | Romans. The Romans had a colony there, a soldiers’ camp with people who gathered around it. During the Middle Ages tribes of Hungarians swept down from the | North, These people became the chief | ! settlers of Hungary. They speak of | | themselves as Magyars. \ Close to 90 per cent of the people in present-day Budapest are of Mag- | var, or Hungarian, stock. Most of | the rest are Germans and Jews. i | | | Dorothy Dix Says HE worst thing that parents can do to & child is to rob it of its individuality, and yet that is a crime that is oftenest committed against children. And the queer part of it is that the more people love their children and the more anxious they are to do their duty by them, the more likely they are to do this terrible thing to them. e For somehow, in parenthood, egotism reaches its peak, and fathers and mothers not only consider that they know what is best for a child and have a right to determine its destiny, but that they are obligated to make it into a rubber stamp of themselves. THUS we have the curious spectacle of good, kind, conscientious people, who would be horrified at the mere thought of lopping off the feet of their offspring because the Jones were all lame, or of boxing up their sons and daughters so they couldn’t grow because the Browns were all small of stature, ruthlessly suppressing all the traits of per- sonality and mentality in their children, because they do not happen to possess them themselves. This desire of parents to create children in their own image is inexplicable, because not many of us are a pattern of physical or mental perfection that we should wish to see copied. Nor have many of us achieved a success in life that sets an example for the young to emulate. Nevertheless, long experience has taught us to say, when we are shown a new baby, that it looks exactly like its mother or its father, and that it has the Thompson nose or the Smith mouth. That makes us persona grata at once with the parents, no matter how homely they are and no matter what & monstrosity the Thompson nose or the Smith mouth may be. 'I‘HE history of practically every family shows that the favorite children are those who conform closest to the family pattern. Half the time when you hear a father and mother complaining about the trouble they-are having with John or Mary, it isn't because John or Mary is wild and outbreaking and has done something wrong. It is because they are different from mother and father and want to do things that mother and father don’t want to do. Mother, who was & belle and a beauty in her day, and who has looked forward to reliving her girlhood triumphs in Mary, thinks Mary is an unnatural and an ungrateful minx because she loathes parties and wants to go into business instead of into society. Father says children are an ungrateful lot, and what's the use of working yourself to death to build up & business for your son to go into when the young fool sniffs at the green-grocery trade and wants to take up scientific research that there is no money in. lP CHILDREN are of the strong stuff which can neither be bent nor broken, ructions ensue when they differ from their parents, and & bitterness that is made up of a sense of injustice on one side and of lack of appreciation on the other grows up between them, that robs the family relationship of its sweetness. If, on the other hand, children are malleable and easily influenced, we have the innumerable failures in life that are the result of mother's having made a preacher out of a boy that Nature had destined for a carpenter, and father's having tried to manufacture a banker out of a dreamy poet who would never see money as anything except something to spend. Nor are parents satisfied with chooeing their children’s careers for them. Very often they arrogate to themselves the right of picking out their husbands and wives for them, ignoring the fact that husbands and wives are just as much a matter of personal taste as olives or onions, and that whether a marriage is a success or not does not depend upon the virtues of the husband or wife, but upon whether they suit those to whom they are united in the holy bonds of wedlock.

It is an individual who starts out thinking too highly of himself. He begins to have feelings of grandeur. He keeps on feeling that way. Finally, he begins to act the part. A little later on his neighbors will begin to take an interest in the matter of his safety as well as their own. The megalomaniac has arrived It may seem strange, but the true megalomaniac has a long history. Any one can understand that his- tory. Very few, indeed, are they who have not livea through something like the same experiences. Have you ever realized that you have an inner self, an “‘ego” which {you ordinarily say nothing about? That's the first chapter in the history of a megalomaniac. Now suppose that vqur ego gefs & few hard bumps. You naturally “, ¢ on” that this secret “you” isn'f wt.

T]w Romance Of Yaur Name BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. @oates *THIS family was settled for & long time in Scotland in the manu- facturing town of Paisley, 7 miles from Glasgow. In very old records| the name is found spelled “de Cote”, ndicating carly French background, | and later “Cotes” and “Coates.” The name signifies “by the sea.” The Coates family was in the early Quaker colony that came to Phila- delphia. Moses Coates and his wife, | Susannah, had fled with others to Ireland from their native Scotland, hoping to escape the many persecu- tions of the day. After getting so far away from their Scottish home, they no doubt felt very brave, and decided to make a still better job of it. And s0 they set their faces resolutely to- ward America—the land of opportu- nities and freedom. They founded their home in the fertile valley of the Schuylkill River, in Pennsylvania. They possessed the stanch and steadfast qualities so characteristic of the Priends, and they prospered and were happy in their new home. Their descendants may be found today living in various States, particularly Maryland, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana and Massachusetts. ‘The coat of arms here reproduced is used by this family.

On the Buda side of the Danube River is the great palace which was built for Emperor Francis Joseph, who ruled Austria-Hungary until 1916. This palace contains 820 rooms. A finer and more important build- ing is on the Pest side of the river. It is used by the Hungarian Parlia- ment, which makes laws for the country. The work of building stretched over a period of 19 years and was finished soon after the be- ginning of the present century. Peo- ple exclaim over its great beauty. Budapest now has a population of more than a million persons. Amoung the industries are the milling of grain, iron-working and making of textiles and leather goods. There is much trading in grain, hides, cattle, sheep and pigs. Budapest holds a place among the leading flour-nmlling cities of the earth. Heavily-laden barges pass along the Danube, bringing grain from country districts to the city, where it is ground into flour or made ready for export. Railway trains slso handle a great deal of the grain which is brought to Budapest. Hungary may be called “a kingdom without & king.” In 1920 the country was declared a monarchy, but no king was named. Instead a ‘“regent” was appointed. His name was Nicholas Horthy and he had been an admiral. ‘The years passed without the naming of a king and Horthy held his posi- tion as regent. 1f you had nothing to eat.” “What has the weather got to do with your eating?” demanded Light- | foot. “You can travel around all you | please and do it comfortably, more | comfortably than you could if there was a lot of snow on the ground.

Buster fairly snorted with disgust. “You are just like a lot of other peo- ple,” said he. “Because I like meat when I can get it, you seem to think that that is what I live on, when, as & matter of fact, it is a small part of my food.
