Today is shown the sort of dress youw'll find in the most exclusive shops that cater to discriminating women. It is the shirtmaker mode at its best, cut to fit perfectly, and with the nice little details that are conspicuous in so tailored a frock. The notched collar is attached to a band set onto the front of the blouse, for all the world like a man's shirt. And on this band reposes your mono- gram or initial. A pocket, man-fash- don, too, is a practical and smart de- tail. The sleeves are cut in one with the narrow shoulder yoke; and are short, as best befits Summer things. ‘The skirt has four inverted pleats, that should satisfy the most active sportswoman. Tub silks are an excellent choice for this dress. They are cool and tailor well and are easy to keep in order, for they wash beautifully. Madras and chambray are good, too, as are all the cottons which are firmly woven. A great to-do is being made of purple for sports wear. It is shown for beach togs as well as dresses and coats, and fashion ex- perts say its popularity has only just begun, and predict it will go merrily on into the Fall season. Canary yel- low is much shown and maize, pale blue and blossom pink (newer than the dusty shades) are all very popu- lar. Much attention is being given to the simple sports frock of white. In this case the monogram should be of a bright color, and matching accessories should pick up the color note and add much to the chic-of the costume, Barbara Bell pattern No. 1681-B is designed in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20; 40 and 42.

BY LOIS LEEDS. IN FORMER years, when milady's voluminous clothes hid everything below her chin except hands and feet, only girls with pretty faces had 8 chance to be considered beauties. Nowadays & good figure is just as im- portant as an attractive face. The girl with a graceful neck and shoulders or a nice pair of legs has a good claim to beauty, even though her features be 1ll-assorted. Although you cannot change the actual length of your neck nor the breadth of your shoulders, it is your own fault if you allow poor posture habits to give awkward lines to this part of your anatomy. Round shoul- ders and turtle neck can be concealed or minimized by Winter clothing, but modern bathing suits and sun suits are pitiless in their exposure of such defects. Today’s fashions demand well-formed, well-poised neck and shoulders. If yoyr figure cannot!| qualify on these points it is time to | make it do so. A faulty habit of standing or sit- ting 1s the main cause of unlovely neck and shoulder contours. It is 80 easy to let the chin sag forward and the chest contract when one is| leaning over a desk or doing house- | work. The habit of perching on the | edge of your chair, weight on the end | of your spine, feet tucked under the chair and elbows resting on the table is fatal to good posture and good looks. It is more trying than correct posture, too. The right way to sit at a table is seated well back with spine touching the back of the chair, weight on thighs, feet placed firmly on the floor, chin level and neck erect. Weak muscles often cause poor pos- ture so that special exercises are needed to strengthen them and help establish correct habits. Here are two for the purpose: First, stand erect with hands clasped behind your head STAR, WASHINGTO Symbol of D.

N WASHINGTON, this week, on the green grass of the Mall that l stretches between the Capitol and the Monument, an encampment of khaki tents has sprung up like & growth of mushrooms overnight. ‘These tents are occupied by the boys and girls from the farming % annual 4-H Club B camp. The Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Depart- ment of Agricul- ture has much information on the subject of how the 4-H Clubs came into being and their general purpose in life. Indeed, most. of the tents are on the grounds of the Department of Agri- culture and they are acting as god- father, so to speak, of the affair. The 4-H Clubs, with a membership of nearly 1,000,000 boys and girls, represent a vast educational under- taking for the young people brought up on farms. As & feature of the extension work of State agricultural colleges, with the co-operation of the Extension Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, these boys and girls learn how to become good farmers, good home- makers and good citizens. The ages range between 10 and 20 and the 4-H symbol stands for training of “head, hand, heart and health.” Their method is to learn by actual doing. * %% % EPRESENTING the whole mem- 5 just above the back of your neck.| bership, about 200 girls and boys Tense your neck muscles and pull for- ward with your clasped hands, thus forcing your chin to your chest against resistance from muscles of the upper back and neck. Rest. Repeat four times. Do this twice a day. Neck exercises are apt to make stiff necks if done too often at first. For another exercise, lie on your back on the floor. Arch your chest so that your weight is on the back of your head and your hips. Contract the back muscles so that you can raise your shoulders off the floor. Hold & moment, then relax. Repeat several times. When neck and shoulders are too bony it is necessary to put on more weight all over besides doing exercises to stimulate circulation and build muscles locally. Those with excess fat about these parts who also are overweight may need to reduce their | weight besides taking neck exercises. The skin on neck and shoulders | should receive the same regular care | as your face. To keep the skin smocth with outstanding records of achieve- ment are at the camp. They have | earned the trip as a reward for the excellent work in the club program, and they come from 41 States. The work of the girls in the clubs is of more interest to a woman’s | page than that of the boys—although | the latter have really made remark- | able strides in every agricultural di- | rection. You may have bought, some- where, poultry, eggs or “garden truck” | produced by some 4-H girl. At the Farm Women's Market just outside of town you have undoubtedly pur- chased canned fruit, vegetables, jel- lies or preserves put up by some am- bitious feminine member of the club. | These are, of course, results that may | be readily seen—but there are many splendid activities conducted by club members that are not quite so visible. In one home, for example, the older daughter, for the club assignment, took over the management of the fam- {ly table for one month. Directed and prevent sallowness, scrub with a by a trained club economist, she had flesh brush, soap and water once a day. Rinse thoroughly in cool water. Dry and massage with a softening skin lotion or use a skin bleach if you need it. Girls with very fair skin will become badly burned or freckled if they expose their backs and shoul- ders too long to strong sunshine. They should not only use a sun-tan lotion to protect their delicate skins, but should put & beach cape or jacket or large bandana around their shoulders after & short exposure to the sun. When the skin begins to redden a little, it is time to cover it. (Copyright, 1935.) NeworOld Customs in Social Life BY EMILY POST. “l )IAR MRS.

Is he a poor, downtrod- den, henpecked creature whose trate form? ‘While it is true that the American husband is the kindest, the most con- siderate, the most generous and in- dulgent husband in the world, it is likewise true that no other husband in the world demands so much of his wife as he does. ’I‘O BEGIN with, the American man is the only man among civilized peoples who makes women amuse, en- tertain and fascinate him. His atti- tude is that of the grand vizier who throws the handkerchief. In Europe s it is the men who make the social running, and who exert themselves to divert women and please them. In America it s the women who have to work like coal heavers in their effort to amuse men who seldom even make an effort to respond to the attentions that their girl friends shower upon them. Go where you will and you will see women talking their heads off to men who barely grunt by way of reply. Everywhere it is the women who are wearing a bright, vivacious expression, while the men are looking bored and sulky. Emvwnmn it is the women who are trying to please the men, not the men the women. The Oriental slaves who dance before their lords and masters are the prototypes of the modern American woman who in effect, “show me.” And this same state of affairs con- B { 2= : § i ada and Prance, are represented To obtain this pattern send 15 cents in stamps or coln to the Woman's | the visitors’ book at the House Museum af g5E g country, who are attending the ninth | wife tramples upon his pros- | Tenters Represent Million Engaged in Vast Educational Project of Federal Government. : cured meats. All the “protective” foods (about which she is taught by the club) are on hand, so that her family will get all the food values they need, if the food is properly prepared in the kitchen, That is also taken care of by the club—girls are taught the best ways of cooking to retain all the valuable essentials of the different ingredients, All club achievements are judged and the girl gets a rating for her work—all of which puts her on her mettle, and makes her do her very best on every assignment. The young budget maker must, of course, take into consideration the | necessary purchase of certain staples that cannot be “home grown.” 8he must decide upon the amount of each staple needed to completely balance the family diet. Cash expenditure for the farm family goes chiefly to the energy foods, which are usually the cheapest part of a well-balanced food supply. In this particular the farm budgeteer may well be the envy | of her city sister! I SN THE 4-H Club girl also has another problem—the canning budget and the actual dabor. The farm family has its own fresh fruit and vegetables in the SBummer, but must depend a great deal on canned or stored oues for the Winter months. Therefore, a canning program must be carefully mapped out, to fill every need, yet be without any waste. The canning budget must be planned to fit in with the other food supplies and to en- tirely balance the Winter diet. In the smoke house there may be cured meats, in the root cellar, potatoes, | carrots, cabbage, onions, apples, etc. The pantry shelves will supply the rest in the form of canned vegetables and® fruits, together with the staples | which must be bought every so often from the general store. At a recently held fair, one 4-H girl exhibited a model pantry for the | baby—small shelves, with small, espe- | cially canned tomatoes, and canned | purees of spinach, peas, other vege- tables, applesauce and so on. There | was space for cans of evaporated milk, | farm baby would be in serious straits if something should happen to the cows, unless some canned milk was | immediately available. * ok ox % HE girls are taught the best com- | binations and methods of prepar- ing foods for the younger children’s school lunch boxes, so that the long | walk or ride to school will not have | to be made again at noon to insure s | properly balanced meal. They are trained in all aspects of homemaking and housework, as experienced by the modern farm wife and mother, and those who have especially high rating | are rewarded with the trip to Wash- | ington and a chance to thus widen i their horizans. | So we see three of the H's—Head, | Hand and Health. The fourth H— Heart—goes into the work to spread | its benefits to home, family, friends | and community, in the form of good | will, fellowship and actual helpfulness. | It you wish advice on your in- | dividual household problems, write to | Betsy Caswell, in care of The Star, | inclosing stamped, seif-addressed en- velope for reply.

When he has done that he washes his hands of the job and turns it over to his wife. He lets Mary do it, and if in the Ameri- can home the wife seems to be the boss and the head of the house, it is not because she has deliberately usurped her husband’s place, but be- cause he has ducked his responsi- bilities.

He expects her to remain young and beautiful and slim and flapperish, no matter how old she gets. He ex- pects her to be able to cook with one hand and play the piano with the other. He expects her to be a penny- pincher, yet look like a fashion plate. He expects her to stay at home and take care of the children, yet belong to clubs and keep up with the times.

BY MARGARET WARNER. OW that Summer is upon us some problems present them- | selves that did not bother us | before, and one of these is & | shining countenance, not from the | sheer joy of living, but because all | the make-up has either disappeared completely or become gummed up since we started out so gayly from home. This is one of the bugaboos of Summer, and unless you have an exquisite complexion, velvety as the skin of a baby, it is your problem, too. A very clever man, who has been working with the science of make- up for the past 20 years, has perfected | & foundation cream which allows the ! perspiration to pass through it, with the make-up remaining intact. It even permits you to freshen up your face with a dash of cold water, wiping it off with tissues and leaving | the original foundation, over which you may add a little fresh powder. | What a boon to the business girl! | %% \ AKE-UP should always have a | Y1 background, or color founda- tion, and for this purpose the foun- dation cream comes in three colors, flesh, natural and rachelle, to blend with, and give a faint color tone to the skin. It must be lighter than your powder to produce the proper effect. dation cream conceals any “off color” spots and to & large extent will pre- vent freckling, as it protects the skin with & thin film. It makes an even | adherent base for the rouge and powder from the hair line to the chin. Being waterproof, it is marvelous for swimming and recommends itself for sport as well as general daytime and special evening use. When pur- chasing your foundation cream, if you will ask about powder and lipstick, the clerk in charge will be glad to help you, with the aid of a color chart, to select the proper combina- tion of colors for your particular type of complexion from the 9 different shades in powder and the 7 in rouge. You may create the impression of a sun tan in your make-up, or if you are already tanned there is a new line of Summer colors in powder, rouge and lipstick that will appeal to you.
