"UMBRELLA" T0 "CIRCLE"

DALLAS, Texas —Skirtlines go from the slim "umbrella" top skirt at one designer's to trouser pleats. wide box or knife pleats all the way round to l6 gores and the "full circle." To assure the slim look pleats are often set on a. yoke or stitched to the hipline.

Suit jackets are both in bolero type and the longer jacket, such as the beautifully tailored ones made from gabardine with much pocket interest; some in two-tone combin- ations.

"CONQUEROR" NADIES CLOTH

How “Worsted” Got Its Name Spelling the difference between fhigh or low production, the dis- tinction between worsted and wool- en cloth has never been so impor- tant. “Worsted" is the name given 2 hard-finish cloth by William the Conqueror in 1066 when he observ- ed the Britons making it. lie had just worsted the Britons, so whim- slcally he called the cloth "worst- ed." ‘

Worsted cloth is made from longer length and combed woolen iibres. twisted into yarn, and then woven into a smooth, hard cloth such as serge. It is durable, keeps- fts shape well, and is especially popular for men's suits.

Woolen cloth, on the other hand_ j Is made of shorter wool fibres —-y often of those fibres not suitable for worsted yarns. Woven into; tweeds. shetlands and flannelsh it‘ has a soft. fleecy look. Woollens, often make a nice appearance, but aren't as durable and don.’t retain, their press as well as worsteds. ,

ALI-WITH IIANKIES

NEW YORK — A doting grand- mother, who likes to sew, fashions many dainty frocks for her three- year-old granddaughter. employing clever and original ideas for trim- rning. One of the most effective of these is accomplished with handkerchiefs. She utilizes two white ones, just alike_ for each dress, cutting to make collar, cuffs and perhaps a pocket top. Some- times the handkerchiefs have a narrow colored hem that contrasts with the color of the frock; while others have scalloped or lace edges or embroidered corners. All are ef- fective for the purpose and save much time, she says.

NEW sxnvr LEDNGTIIS

NEW YORK — Skirts are all lengths. not one length. The full skirt looks about right at mid- calf. There is an elegant silhouette which is long and narrow, and has a skirt just about wide enough to

walk in. This may be l2, l3. i3 1-2 _

or more inches from the floor, all depending on the height of the wearer. In the same category might be placed the jutting silhouette. or the dress with a flaring peplum over a very straight skirt. Some daytime skirts stop at l4 inches. Right proportion to the whole fig- ure is the determining factor in skirt lengths.

FEW DIABITICS DIE OI‘ DIABETES

One a! the ‘srnal-t" sayings of a few wars ago was that many medi- cal students decide to become sldn

not call them at nlght, never dies, and never gets better. It would "seem" that another specnlllity has these 511119 three advantages.

In ‘Medical Clinics of North America,’ devoted entirely to dia- betes, Dr. Elliott P. Josiin, Bos- ton, the outsmndlng diabetes spe- cialists. states: "It ls quite true that when a. recently diagnosed diabetic, with onset of diabetes un- der 30 years of age enters the of- fice it means that the nhysician will have a patient to treat for as long as he remains in practice." While 2.11s may sound encouraging for the physician and discouraging for a satient, we should remember that before the discovery of insulin ‘all children with tiiabctcg died. in a very she-rt time, and adult dia- betics were kept l-live for a few years ouy by lhe strictest diet and supervision or a piysiclan special- izing ln dialx-tes.

While it is stated, and stated truthfully that lhere are more cases of diabetes in the world today ihcn before tne discovery of insulin, this is really‘ prais- for insul-n because insulin keeps the diabetic alive in-

stead ul dying within a year or iwo Rs was the case before the discovery of insulin.

“Diabetics are living a long time and that L; .i.e chief r-nson why there seem to be so many of thcm. Our grnup some months ago had 237 out of an nrginal 249 with on- set in childhood and who had sur- ivlved diabetes 2o years o“ 10 limes as long as our fatal childi-ood cases ‘between i914 aid i922. Insulin was |discoversd in 192a. 1t is estimated that there are 1.000.000 d abetics in the United States."

, DespLe this large Illllflb“? of dia- betics, Dr. Joslln ventures the pre- diction that ‘u/On we,sha'.l witness a declining death rate if. diabetes. Diabetics rcally have ceased to die l"of" til-fr diabetes although they die "wry." diabetes. Forme-ly about 64 per cent of our patmnls died of com». (stupor), and that went on the zertiflcate and rightly so as

per cent die of lcma and that leaves some 6i per cent ;.f deaths due to other reasons.‘

0.1a. Favor Marriage

Young Man May list Realize Ides‘! Happiness, But Gain Wisdom lleverthelos.

DEAE’ DOROTHEFDIJK: I am a young man and have serious in- tentions of getting married, but my mother is constantly warning me of the dangers and pitfalls of such a course and continually trying to discourage me, She tells me that there is uo such thing as a happy marriage and that if I mairy I will regret it. What do you think about

this? WORRIED

I very honestly believe that marriage is worthwhile, even if it fails to realize oue's fondest dream of con- nubial bliss. Oi course, when a man and woman marry who are real mates and who give to each other an affection, an understanding and a sym- pathy that makes them two souls with but a single thoughtfand when they make a home that is s place of peace and quiet that is s refuge from the turmoil of the Pworld, it is a little bit of Heaven on earth. And despite your mother's pessimistic pro- paganda, there are many such happy marriages.

' Some marriages are, of course, unendurable. Others are merely tolerable. But out of even a marriage that is not happy a man and woman somehow get a wisdom an experience. a knowledge o! human nature. a strength and a toler- nncc that round out life and make it fuller and worth the price.

I

ANSWER;

GOOD RISK

So don't be afraid to try the experiment. Neihing ventured. noth- ing gained, is as true of marriage as of business. If you marry, you have a hundred-io-onc shot of getting your ideal as a wife and know- ing the ultimate bliss. And you have a fifty-fifty chance of marrving a woman who will make you a fairly good wife and far happier than you will be as a bachelor. And those are good sporting odds on any proposition.

Your mother doesn't want you to marry because she is selfish and

| wants you for herself and so is trying to scare you off of matrimony.

Don't let her do it.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Just what blame and res nsibility do you. place on the young married man when the pretty een-agers try to attract him and offer every encouragement for him to pet them?

A MAN

ANSWER: I think the young married man who yields to temp- tation is more to blame than the girl because he is disloyal to his wife, whereas the girl has no responsibilities.

Of course. wives always blame the girl and represent their hus- bards as poor, innocent, unsophisticated lambs who were taken in and deceived by some scheming adventuress of a woman. but this is just to save their faces. They really know better and are perfectly aware that when a man flees from temptation he alwavs escapes. It is the men who meet temptation halfway who get caught.

DEAR MISs DIX: Is it a sign that your husband doesn't love you when he fails to kiss you when he leaves for work 1n the morning? My friends say it is. but mv husband says that he loves me and that it is just because he has so many worries on his mind that he forgets these little things.

DOLLY T.

ANSWER: Certainly it is no sign that your husband doesn't love you because he doesn't give you a peck on the cheek everv time iv: starts out to work. There is nothing that has less significance tn it than the "habit kiss" that a husband and wife exchange when they are both thinking about something else and planning the day's work.

I would rather have one kiss that my husband gave me because he felt like it and wanted to kiss me than a million duty kisses.

Ellen ’s Diary

By an Island Farmer's Wife

The cutting of the new meadow, which lies between the isue and pond began this evening, and I heard the sound of it with regret in my heart. For not on the far- ther fields, but here my eyes had rested most frequently since Spring. Indeed, it was here that I had seen the Spring come. In a soft valvety green, that covered the drabness on either side of the friendly short- cut to the mill. I had watched it grow, until presently the path was concealed, and it was lovely, with light and dark shadows surfacing it_ at a sunny wind‘s gesture. I had strolled through its fragrance with James and with Jamie; had seen the moon rise above it-small and hopeful and the sun-set bathe it with a ruby glow.

This morning, I had admired it, heads inclined with the weight of dew, and the last blossom. “Wei? I said to Pard, as we sat on the old door-step, watching the ma- chine on the first round "that's that!" And I was a bit lonely for the things that had been. "Not too bad a piece at all" I overheard James say to Mr. A. tonight "It's surprising __for this year -there'll be a nice lot off it." Silvered it is now by the moonlight. the mown and the unmown and I sigh for the rose-blown clovery days, when the meadow was only approaching ils maturity. Gone now, like the duff of petals from the orchard tltes, that whiten the grass of a June morning and presently are withered and dead, leaving one only the memory of their beauty. But what delights are set in ones memory! Precious scenes that have the power to draw one from dis- tant shores.

O

These days_ many Island-born folk come to revisit the land of their birth —the place that no mat- ter where they may choose to roam is ever Home to them. They come tc renew fading memories. to eniov again once familiar scenes and to stroll once more along well-remem- bered trails. "Yes—it has been a lung time since I've been home to The Island, Ellen" one of these said to me today, so naturally that one felt that there never had been another place more precious than the childhood home. And another said: "It's even nicer than I rc- membered it-and I did long to get back to see it again. You'll never know how much I wanted to see the old maple on the top of the hill-lust where thc lane comes out —and the river.

O Q O

Seems to me there never is a river so pretty as that onei And thc school" and she laughed "it's funnv. but in mind, I fancied the school was much larger than it is!" And so our Islanders return on holl- day. to visit their ain folk. to visit also well-remembered places: old farmhouses. the school, a corner- store. an old family pew. or per- haps to take a pilgrimage which leads them to a quiet plot in a country church-yard there to st-lp awhile not to recall the dead but the living to mind. And the 11d houses come alive with folks out of the past at their entry: schools have classes of scholars now far scattered or gone: at the store one listens expectanfy for a voice that is not there and in church present worshippers fade to be reruared by those out of past years. Rut they return -to the green of The‘ Is- land fields. and the blue and whit:- of her summer sky: to her roads of red winding out along the hill- tops and the gentle lap of waves on her shores. For wherever Is- landers are, there is that desire to get Home.

O O

“We must get home—for we have been away

So long. it seems forever and s day!
