MAGAZINE PAGE, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘New Sports Frock in Cotton BY BARBARA ECKLINES in spectator fash- N fons bid for attention. The BELL. mysterious one in this frock unties at a moment’s notice and lets you see for yourself how really simple it is, nothing more | than the ends of the pointed yoke— lined, of course, with a dark, con- trasting color. and manipulated into throatline trimming. The effect is individuality and smartness. Dark buttons and a matching pat- ent-leather belt and bracelet are at- tractive finishes. One of the new cottons is used for this frock—fine-wale pique, with navy of the same for contrast. Other fabrics may be used, too. Natural color canvas and Italian hemp weaves are new and, because of their rough surface, very interesting. Shaggy- looking rustic cottons, linens, wash- able mixtures and sturdy shantungs are important among sports fabrics. ‘When sleeves are not short and set-in they are formed from dropped shoulder seams in the way pictured here. While wrap-around skirts are a 1935 fashion, the most popular interpretation of this detail is in a deeply laid pleat, stitched to below 16138 the knees, and from there on pressed into a pleat which supplies freedom when in motion. Summer colors run to romantic, feminine shades. Pinks are in high favor, together with medium blue, and soft greens. In the new piques, poplins and other fabrics noted they are nothing short of enchanting. Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1613-B is designed in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Corresponding bust sizes, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 (34) requires about 3!, yards of 36-inch material, five-eighths yard 36-inch contrast.

This was the | greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned | “Four Horsemen” team, now disbanded, and has won 24 natiqnal 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. Difficult Elementary Plays. ERSONS reading my column have complained that each hand seems to involve the knowledge of the proper ex- ecution of a coup or an end play or a wizard-like insight into the opponents’ holdings. In today’s hand East makes all as clear as a May morn to his partner. It was West's own fault that he failed to grasp an elementary principle of defense. ‘The bidding: West. North, Di. Double. 4 Hts. 458p Pass. Redouble. Pass. East. 2Di. South’s free bid of two spades is very questionable. North naturally thought that South would wrap up defense. West opened the king of diamonds. | South trumped in the dummy. East made his first beau geste by playing | the seven of diamonds. South led a small heart toward his 10 spot. East | made another helpful play by follow- ing with the seven of hearts. Despite this start of an echo, West won with the ace, took his A-K of clubs and folded up. South made four spades, doubled and redoubled. If West had only had the wit to hold up the ace of hearts, South's best play is to permit West to give | East a ruff in the heart suit and go down one trick gracefully. Other- wise he will probably get so tangled up—what with ruffing diamonds in the dummy—that he will go down two or three tricks. TOMORROW'S HAND.

HEN Shakespeare said that time is measured by heart throbs, not by figures on a dial, he stated a fun- damental human problem—the prob- lem of psychological time. The cen- tral factors of psychological time are occupation or interest on the one hand, and emotion or feeling on the other. As we grow older the years seem to grow shorter. That's because of the presence of interesting or urgent things to be done. If one is busy, time flles. The psychological law is: “Time, filled with varied and interest~ ing experiences, seems short in pass- ing, but long as we look back.” Suppose that as we grow older we have nothing to do, nothing to think about. The hours, days and weeks seem like so many different kinds of eternities. The psychological law is: “Empty time seems long in pass- ing and short as we look back.” ‘When the emotions, such as anger, fear or horror, are aroused a very brief period seems to be a long one. The explanation is this: The emotions refer to the ancient history of man; they are psychological processes that required thousands, perhaps millions, of years to be laid down in the human nervous system. During periods of emotional stress we seem to live through this past, to bunch it all into one brief period. The psychologists conclude that what we call time is not an unbroken duration, but a series of very small durations, all of which have a mean- |ing of their own, depending on how | we are occupied, intellectually or emo- | tionally. The shortest observahle bit of time is about 1,/500 of a second. Un‘cléhRay HE sun, as we all know, is of great size. It is many times as large as the earth and all the other planets put together. If we compare the sun with the true stars, it is a different story. True stars have been called “far away suns.” Most of them are millions of times as distant as our sun. A great number are larger than the sun, though some are not so large. Among the wonders of science is the work which has been done to measure the size of the stars. Among | them is one called Betelgeuse. It is | part of the star group of Orion, and it is hundreds of times as large as the sun. A star of even greater size is known | as Antares. It is believed to have a | diameter of 400,000,000 miles, and is | the largest known star. Antares and Betelgeuse are classed | as young stars. They are made up of burning, or flaming, gas which is lighter than air. They are of red- dish color and may be spoken of as “young red giants.” In the course of millions of years. 1t is believed that the red giants will condense. They will be smaller, but | each cubic mile in them will have Dorothy -Dix Says Make Sure You're Congenial Before Mar- riage, and What Comes After Will Take Care of Itself. EAR MISS DIX—We are a young couple, planning to be mar- ried, and would like to know just what should be taken into consideration before and after marriage. How long should the engagement period be? MISS. Answer: I think six months is the ideal length for an engagement because that gives a man and woman enough time in which to become acquainted and get each other's numbers, so to speak, without being long enough for them to get tired of each other, A LONG engagement is very trying to both the man and woman, because they are neither bound nor free. They neither have authority nor the right to interfere in each other’s affairs that mar- riage would give them, nor the right to do exactly as they pleased that they would have if they were not betrothed. For that reason, I think it is a good thing for young persons who are in love with each other, but who must wait for several years before marrying, just to have an understanding and not enter into a definite engagement. To take an option on each other's affections, 80 to speak, instead of making a hard and fast contract. That would give each one a chance to back out of the arrangement if he lost his taste for the other person. Many long engagements end in a wed- ding that is 2 matter of duty instead of inclination. s THE things that should be taken into consideration before marriage are: First, the character of the individual you are marrying. Is he or she moral, upright, honest, trustworthy? Has he or she a strong sense of duty? What sort of disposition has he or she? Is he or she lazy, high-tempered, slovenly, selfish, hard to get along with? These are important points to consider before you tie up with any one for life, for there can be no happiness in a marriage where either the husband or the wife is a philanderer, or a liar, or a drunk- ard. Nor can there be any prosperity in a household where the man is a Weary Willie or the wife a Lazy Lizzie. And don't forget that you have to live with your husband’s or your wife’s disposition, and that you are slated for misery, if he or she has a mean one. NEXT. consider the health of the one you marry. If sickness comes to a husband or wife after marriage, their mates should do all in their power to comfort and cherish them, but it is folly to deny that an invalid wite or husband is a handicap in marriage. Marry in your own class. Choose & husband or wife with the same social status as yourself and with about the same amount of education and intelligence. Husbands and wives look best to each other when they are on a level, not when one looks up and the other looks down on the mate. UT the most important thing of all to consider before marriage is the subject of congeniality. Find out whether you like the same things. Do you order the same dishes when you go to a Testaurant? Do you enjoy the same plays, the same music, the same books, the, more weight | Another change will be in color.

Many stars are orange, yellow, white, blue or blue-white. Scientists tell us that the young red | giants will pass into an orange- colored stage. Then they will become yellow. The fourth stage will be white or blue-white, and they will be in “the prime of life.” From the white or blue-white stage, it is believed the stars again pass through the samie colors, going from yellow to orange to red. In these later stages, they are much smaller than during youth, and also more nearly solid. If this view is correct, the star will fall into old age of redness, with feeble light which at last goes out— leaving a cinder which speeds through space. The cinder usually would be larger than the earth. Our sun is classed as a star a little past middle age. It is on its way to very old age; but its light and heat will probably last several hundred mil- lion years longer. (For science section of your scrap book.)

Various social plans are intended to bring about a Utopian situation. How do we get this word? Directly, we have it after the title of a book called “Utopia,” published in 1516. The author was Sir Thomas More. In this work, Utopia was the name of an imaginary island upon which there existed the perfect politi- cal state—the ideal. Sir Thomas More received his in- spiration for the title from the Greek language through the combination of two words meaning “not a place, no- where!” This, as Sheliey is reputed to have said, “speaks volumes.” Toliy Pelly * BY JOS.
