eee SOCLE SUE JONES, Editor In a punning mood, we could say that Dior’s new fashions are Dil- ley’s, and that Dilley’s ideas are “Di-orders from headquarters.” *Tis a strange business — mi- lady’s fashions. There is no doubt that the change in styles in predi- cated on new business for the dress designers and manufactur- ers, rather than the altruistic aim ‘to really make the ladies prettier and more attractive. However, yours truly believes that in years past and years to come, the lady who dresses well is the one who goes on the theory that when people say, “You look lovely in that dress, or hat or etc.”—rather than “Gee, what a stunning dress”—she is well dress- ed. And so it is that the styles shouid be sifted and the new lines and de- Signs not ignored, but considered and the old adage — “dress to please the men” will prevail and the opposite sex seems to say “Down with Dior’. Also, there will be. many ladies who will have na- tural difficulties following the re- turn to the flat figure. And that last word calls to mind —that yours truly better figure on heading for the shops—right now— Sia z= When the weather turns a bit damp, our appetites seem to turn to soup. At the Banana Tree Grille, 523 Truman Avenue their seup is hearty and homemade! ‘Two of the first requisites for this fine dish. French Onion Soup with cheese croutons is a must at the Ba- in@. Tree Grille. As many of you know, making this soup which. delights gourmets is an att, aiid here they give it a mas- ter touch. ‘Also, their vegetable soup the product of great care in the cooking. No thin watery soup this, For those who prefer, and sometimes the children do — there is chicken noodle and chic- ken rice soup! Also, egain Rh find thick, nourishing.-soup, it tastes the way a self-respect- ing chicken soup should — not just as if the chicken walked through. So, for all meals and good ones —the Banana Tree Grille, 523 Truman Ave, ss S38 For those who might not have heard of ‘‘Dilley”—he is the Army Officer in Germany who has prac- tically received a medal for brav- ery. He dared to tell the women to dress. more appropriately as they were creating a bad impres- _ Sion in halters, and shorts and jeans and generally sloppy dress. Frankly, yours truly agrees with him—I do believe in casual dress —but after all, foreign countries seen: to be prone to criticize us at the drop of a hat or shoulder strap.

So, phone 2-2152 for an appointment while this savings can be yours! ° , 33 Ses Even in Our Town where sports attire is most acceptable, some of the costumes can get pretty brief, so you can imagine that Euro- peans whose traditions are so dif- ferent might be more than shock- ed. This would not be of such| great consequence, if it were not for the fact that the United States is judged by the actions of the Americans abroad. That’s one good thing about Americans—they never seem to condemn a count by its peovle’s behavior over ac se&lee ‘Tis » when the kids leave for school in | t ' ‘ Ideal Togs, 534 Duval Street have ail the clothes your chil- dren will require—Right at this one shop they can be outfitted from head to foot. There are dresses in all kinds of fabrics and a choice of plaids floral prints, ginghams, perma cloth and solid colors, For boys, you'll find the Dan River gingham shirts in plaids and figure designs. Trousers in khaki, gray washable cord and types of cotton in all sizes Iso at the ideal Some say that if a child‘s feet hurt, his school work suffers, Dr, Posner's shoes always guarantee Na good fit, The stock in this fa- mous shoe is quile extensive at Ideal Togs and there are brown exfords for boys—also two-tone, either brown and tan or navy and white—and too, that stand- ard faithful — the saddle shoe. These same choice can be pur- chased for girls tor. So, please don’t forget — the fdeal way to ovttit your schooi- age child is to go to 594 Duval where children’s clothes are good-looking, well-made, easy to care for—and reasonable. ae es Dior, of course, is regarded by some as the “French God of Fash- ion.” There is no doubt about his really stirring the styles. The “New Look” which sold more fac- ing than ever. before when the ladies rushed to let the hem.down and economy fought with fashion —was his bright idea. Asa matter of fact, for reasons of their own, ;Many teen-agers seem fo prefer this length. decreed short skirts and the scis- sors really started slashing away at. milady’s hemline. Now he is High’ Priest of the Flat Shape—but some .say that the American mar- ket will interpret this as being sor- ta a shapeless business cinching in the belt—your curves won't take a beating.

There are many lovely young lasses in Our Town and many, many times have I heard them say—there just isn’t any way to meet young men. Now, this causes concern and doubly so —when the young men say—there "| just isn’t any means of being intro- duced to young ladies in this town. So, may I venture to suggest a | return to the old-time tea dance— properly sponsored and chaperon- ed. Time has not allowed me to in- vestigate the mechanics of such an idea, but golly—the response to it has been more than favorable and men and women concerned.

Your Child Today By DOROTHY V .WHIPPLE, ak When youngsters get into their teens their need for money be- comes acute. The allowance is j often not enough to take care of | their numerous needs. It’s not a bad idea to let a child work for some of the extra money he wants. Perhaps this will help him understand that cash doesn’t grow on bushes, nor does it just appear in dad’s pocket or mother’s purse. But paid jobs at home need to be carefully handled. They must be real work — not just some- thing manufactured to give the child the feeling of working. You can’t fool a child. He knows whether what he’s doing is worth- while or not. If you can manage, the job you give your teen-ager should be something that you would hire someone on the outside to do. “If you want to do it, Pll give you the money instead of paying So-and-So to do it.” In these days of apartment liv- ing it isn’t always easy to find real jobs. If you live in the sub- urbs or in the country, there’s seldom a lack of jobs. The cel- eeds cleaning, the garage organizing, the windows |need washing, maybe a room or a piece of furniture needs paint- ing. When there are younger chil- dren in the family, baby sitting | may be a real job. Pay a reasonable rate, either — ee, a en sabe val Street on October 2. Members of the Education de- partment of the Woman’s Club will serve as hostesses for the affair. It will be a departure from the receptions of other years in that it will be an “open house.” There will be no meeting or pro- gram other than some music. The emphasis will be placed on meeting the teachers and intro- ducing them to club members. The first meeting of the club has been set for October 12 to enable the president to attend the state board meeting in Gainesville on October 4 and 5. The annual budget and the pro- posed revisions to the by-laws will be presented at the October 12 meeting. There will be no reception fol- lowing this meeting as members will attend the reception for the teachers. The board voted to co-sponsor the girl chosen by the Junior Wo- man’s Club to represent them in the selection of the queen of the fiesta in connection with the cele- bration of the sailing of the Key West - Havana Ferry. WASHABLE UPHOLSTERY FABRIC A new upholstery comes in cot- ton tweed and is water repellent so soil or stains can be sudsed off | with a minimum of effort. The pre- shrunk fabric can be washed in | place or given hot suds and rinses in a washing machine or tub. It also is wrinkle resistant. by the hour or by the job. Offer ja little help, or a little know-how if necessary, but in general don’t |supervise too much and don’t pitch in and let the child watch you do it and then collect his wages. A job that’s paid for should not be something the child should do anyway. Children should grow up with a sense of belonging to the family and of doing certain things about the home, simply be- cause they are members of the family. Don’t pay a child for making his bed, keeping his room in order or helping with the dishes. These are routine things of every day life that everyoné must-do to make family living run smoothly. If you begin paying for the things any member of a group should contribute willingly with- out compensation, you soon find that the child has little consider- | ation for others. Not long ago I was having tea with a friend out in her garden. The sun went under and it became chilly. My friend asked her son |to go in and get her a jacket. The boy said he'd do it for a nickel. Don’t pay for the courtesies of life. And don’t pay for getting good grades at school or brush- ing teeth or taking a bath. You can buy work, but you cannot buy good will and consideration and personal integrity—(AP) News- features. ibe “hs c fea ST. PETERSBURG COUPLE WED HERE—Mrs. James F. Thom- son.
