Striking Styles Are Turned Out By Nazi Women BY MARIAN YOUNG LEIPZIG, May 16. —International economic and political policies are dictated by Chancellor Hitler, but it is Gertrude Kornhas-Brandt who is Germany’s unquestioned style dictator. Her creations are as widely discussed in Berlin, Leipzig and Munich as Schiaparelli is in Paris or Elizabeth Hawes in New York. And through the school for dressmakers that she operates in Munich, training potential designers as well as seamstresses, her sphere of influence promises a permanence that few dictatorships know. The beach costumes in her latest collection, one of the outstanding of the Leipzig Trade Fair, are especially interesting. Gayly striped terry cloth is used to fashion capes that can be worn as skirts. Checked cottons with diminutive floral figurines in the center of the squares make ankle-length beach dresses particularly charming. One beach ensemble includes lime green shorts and shirt and a wrap-around skirt with red dots on a natural cotton background. This i? teamed up with an enormous red beach hat with green and white polka dotted band. For monotone street dresses, Frau Komhas-Brandt has used more brown and beige than navy and black. Many are trimmed with printed collars and cuffs and fluttering jabots. Circular and gored skirts seem to take the spotlight away from pleats. Dinner dresses are floor length. Many evening gowns have short trains. Street skirts are about twelve Inches from the floor.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY WM. E.

North opened the six of hearts, which was won with the ace in dummy. Fishbein immediately realised the he would have no trouble in making his contract if the spade suit should split equally in the opponents’ hands, or, failing this, if he could manage to establish either of the minor suit queens. As there had been no adverse

bidding, however, he decided to play the trump suit in an effort to get some hint of the distribution in his opponents’ hands. On the next five rounds of hearts, North followed to the first three, and then discarded the eight of clubs and the five of diamonds. The four discards from dummy were two small diamonds and two small clubs. South’s five discard were the nine and eight of diamonds and three clubs. The spade suit now was played. When South showed up with four spades, declarer’s only hope was to play him for the king of diamonds. He. therefore, cashed the ace of clubs, thus taking cut South’s exit card, and threw him in with a low spade, discarding the queen of clubs from his own hand. South now was forced to lead from the king-ten of diamonds, thus assuring declarer two diamond tricks and his contract (Copyright. 1936. NEA Service. Inc)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor SWEET girl graduates dress-rehearsing for commencement night! Like bright blossoms they nod their pretty heads along with the apple blooms in the background! The happy state of mind registered by this fivesome may be due partly to the clever clothes they are wearing. They well know that it will soon be the “commencement” of summer dances and that these cotton frocks are certain to graduate them into the smartest fashion circles anywhere.

Mabel Ryan (left, end), who is so proudly displaying her make-believe diploma, is from Broad Ripple High School, and is only showing her friends how she is going to look on the big night next month when she receives a genuine diploma with her graduating class. Her white mousseline de soie gown is dotted with delicate colored nosegays and matched with a wine velvet sash that swings with frontline streamers. it tt tt Barbara hereth (second, left) is to be graduated from Shortridge this spring and has chosen to wear a slim, trim white cotton lace with white taffeta trimmings. No less than 48 taffeta covered buttons reach from neckline to toetip and distinguish this lovely gown which will make itself at home graciously on graduation platform, country club or dance floor on warm balmy moonlight nights. Wilberta Mescall (center), of St. John Academy, looks the part of a demure senior in a dance-dream rose organdy with pleated ruffles. If she isn't the belle of her summer rounds it won’t be the fault of the dress with its sheer beauty and flattering off-the-shoulder style. From Broad Ripple High comes Gretchen Huetter (second, right), wearing white embroidered organdy made in the manner of gay nineties. The quaint bows down the front are of wine grosgrain ribbon and the split skirt reveals a ruffled petticoat beneath the long dress. Eileen Westover (end, right), from Technical, is cool and collected in a striking mousseline de soie gown of white background with colorful plaid stripes. The sash is of matching green ribbon and the sleeves are perky and puffed. Such dresses as these are bound to make history for all graduating classes of ’36! UNIVERSITY CLUB TO TOUR HOSPITAL Guests are to be entertained by the Indiana University Woman’s Club of Indianapolis at a tea Friday afternoon in the Ball residence, Indiana University Hospitals.

FOLLY and FAREWELL

BEGIN HERE TODAY Linda Bourne, 20, pretty, is left almost penniless by the sudden death of her father. Peter Gardiner, newspaper reporter, helps her get a job writing society news. Linda is in love with Dix Carter, but he goes abroad to study singing. When Peter asks Linda to marry him she agrees, but postpones the wedding. Honey Harmon, film star, comes to Newtown, making a “personal appearance’’ tour, and buys a scenario written by Linda. Later Linda goes to Holly-* wood and, by expressing ideas that are really Peter’s, acquires a reputation for being able to discover new stars. Soon she is a celebrity. Dix Carter comes to Hollywood to get into films as an actor. Linda tries to help him. To please Dix, she invites Basil Thorne, director, to her home though she dislikes and distrusts Thorns. Peter Gardiner writes a successful play and comes to Hollywood. Thorne drives Linda to a mountain resort where the company is to begin work next day. The others fail to arrive. There is trouble with the car and Linda and Thorne are obliged to stay through the night. Thorne asks Linda to marry him. She refuses. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO THE next time Linda travelled the road to San Jacinto it was daylight and she was with the players in her company. She would not have recognized the deserted spot where she had been forced to spend the night with Thorne. Sets had been built, cabins made habitable, and now there was action. And she was much too busy to think again of that night. They remained for nearly a fortnight. Linda heard nothing from Thorne, but the day she returned home he turned up unexpectedly at her apartment. “I’ve missed you,” he said. He said other things and when he had left Linda had the feeling that he had been trying to force her to say something—what she did not know, but her earlier feeling of disquiet awoke again. tt tt St HOWEVER, she had other things to think about. Careers wax and wane with surprising swiftness in the moving picture business. Linda knew that she had reached the top, but could she stay there? Her contract would be up in two months and her company had no option. Paul Leonhardt had come out from the New York office to head Commonwealth, and changes were in the air. Linda had no reason to think her contract would not be renewed. On the other hand, she knew Leonhardt was bringing out new writers. It was difficult not to worry. Linda had gone completely spendthrift, she thought unhappily, thrusting the mounting pile of bills back into her desk. She had bought clothes recklessly, had her apartment redecorated, entertained expensively. She was suddenly appalled to realize that she spent more in a week than she had in months when she lived in Newtown. Yes, it was necessary to have her contract renewed. She had enough money now to pay her debts, but when they were paid there would be little or nothing left. It was not a comfortable time for her. The only reassuring thing was Dix’s happiness. He was working in Thorne’s picture, and the director liked his work, he had said. She found escape from her own worries, thinking of this and the bright future when Dix would be established and she would be his wife. She wanted to go on working after her marriage. Life wasn’t very amusing for wives in Hollywood who had no work, and, besides, she felt that Dix would want .her to continue. u tt SOME day she and Dix would leave Hollywood and then their real life would begin. Linda was a little tired of her career and sought refuge in dreaming of the future, even when the present was so terribly important. She ceased worrying about Thome in her anxiety over her contract and would have forgotten the incident entirely had she not found herself at Andre Allen’s party, discussing the mountain sequence of the picture they had finished making that day. “I left the day before the last scenes were shot,” Linda said in answer to some question. Honey Harmon was in that little group. She stabbed an olive in her glass and raised wide eyes to Linda’s face. “You mean the week before, don’t you?” she asked sweetly. Linda couldn’t quite adjust herself. Had that been a slip on Honey’s part? It was a week before that she and Thome ... tt tt u ALL manner of things jumbled in Linda’s mind. Honey! Thorne! Gossip! Thome’s promise or had it been a promise? But Hone; and Thome had not seen

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Friday.—Last night we had the annual newspaper party. It was not as warm as we might have wished, but still people wandered out on the porches and I walked out in the garden to get a view of the house, and it all looked gay and pleasant. About half way through the evening the usher came to me and said that he had just had a telephone message from Eddie Peabody, who had arrived in Washington for a holiday and heard we were having a party. He offered to come down and entertain us as he did last year. We accepted with great Joy, and without any rehearsal Sidney and his orchestra joined in and played his accompaniment. He gave us a delightful 15-minute entertainment before supper. This party, at which the Vice President and Mrs. Gamer always receive with us, is a nice, informal party and I hope our guests enjoyed it as much as we did. When we got upstairs I found one of our sons had come in for the night. These unexpected comings and goings are very pleasant and give me a chance to catch up with my family, even in conversations which take place in the middle of the night! I was up early this morning to go to the station to meet a friend. I worked at my desk for part of the morning, had a press conference, and after the Cabinet ladies, who u r ere giving a picnic for the Senate ladies with me, had arranged everything, I joined them in the garden. We had a very pleasant if somewhat more formal meal than the word “picnic” usually implies, for we had tables all set and chairs to sit upon. But we were out-of-doors, and on a day like this when the sun gives just the right amount of warmth, I think every one wants to be out. Later I went to see a friend in the hospital, returned to receive a group of high school girls from Briarcliff Manor, New York. At 4 o’clock the various women executives came to their garden party. At 5 the members of the American Federation of Arts came in, and during the afternoon several house guests arrived by motor and train from the South and the North, amongst them our daughter-in-law, Airs. Donner Roosevelt and our grandson, Bill. (Copyright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

each other , . . Honey and Pete Gardiner. . . . Linda gave up. “Don’t you think it’s wonderfully interested out there?” Honey asked. “It was interesting making the picture. I don’t know anything much about the country around there and had little chance to see it; we worked from 6 in the morning until midnight.” “It’s interesting at night,” Honey looked boldly and meaningly into Linda’s face now and spaced her words slowly. “I understand it’s thrilling when you’re . . . alone.” There was no mistaking her now. Somehow, this girl who hated Linda because Linda had kept Pete Gardiner from her long ago, then taken

—MAY 16, 1936

Thorne from her, knew that she and Thorne had spent the night there. tt tt tt LINDA had to know how. She had to find Thorne. She telephoned his home, the studio, his clubs. At last she learned he was at Santa Monica, and could not be reached. Linda knew that she must discover if he were responsible, and make him stop the rumors. Perhaps Honey was the only one who knew, and if Honey did talk what weight would her stories carry? Her listeners would be wise enough to know that the gossip was malicious and remember that Linda had been a rival of the beloved star on more than one occasion. But if she thought Honey wa3 the only one to talk about her, Linda was mistaken. The girls in Hollyywoorl were no different from the girls in Newtown, Keokuk, Des Moines or any other place where one popular girl, lacking a free and easy manner, is often mistaken for a snob. Since Linda gave little thought to people who did not interest her, it had not occurred to her that they might have been thinking of her. Or that they would be only too glad to pounce on a fallen angel. Or-that casting first stones was a form of entertainment. tt tt a STER ROWELL, the famous old character actress, was one of Linda’s best friends, and it was from her that Linda again heard about the night she wanted never to remember again. “I don’t believe a word of it.’* Mrs. Rowell told her. “Or, if it is true that you spent the night with Thorne, I am sure the circumstances were accidental and entirely innocent. i don’t think you are a fool in any way. And I don’t think you have bad taste. Don’t make any explanation to me if you don’t wish to, but if it isn’t true, you mlust stop it. I’ve been hearing it about, and it is my impression that Thorne started it himself.” “It isn’t true,” Linda sa ; d through set lips. "And I’m sure it must have come from some other source. I can t imagine Mr. Thorne giving any such information. Why, he has asked me to marry him!” Men without principle have been known to do strange things to force ladies to arrive at proper conclusions.” tt tt tt T IND A couldn’t believe that of Thorne. In her code when a man thought enough of a woman to ask her to marry him, he did not jeopardize her reputation. She got in her roadster and drove to Santa Monica. She found Basil Thorne lunching on the set, and asked him to join her in her car. They drove to a deserted spot and Linda brought the car to a stop with shrieking brakes. She didn’t waste any words. “Basil, one knows and has told that you and I spent that night in the mountains. I want you to find out who it is and stop him by denying the rumor. I beg you to do this. Besides the obvious reasons. I have to protect mv career. I may lose a contract. This all besides the social and moral aspects! Os course you will do it.” “So you’ve decided to marry me?" he asked softly. Surprised, she turned to look at him quickly. He was smiling. “Os course not. That has nothing to do with this situation.” “But it has,” he said patiently. "Surely you must see it that way.* This was new and shocking. A man willing to blacken a woman’s reputation to force her into marrying him!
