MEETING OF PSI IOTA XI HELD TUESDAY NIGHT During the business meeting of the Psi lota Xi sorority, held Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. William Spahr, the organization voted to give SSO to the American Red Cross drive. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Jamies Ehinger, president, and plans were made for a rummage sale to be held in the near future. The next meeting will be March 20 and will be a pot luck supper to be held in the basement of the Lutheran church at six-thirty o’clock. The door prize was won by Mrs. Ehinger. TRI KAPPA BUSINESS MEETING The Tri Kappa held their regular business meeting last evening at the Elks home and during this meeting voted to make a contribution of SSO to the Red Cross drive.

not from exercise. He's the unwary young man who said in an interview that co-eds at Northwestern university look unglamorous in the morning* before breakfast. Brother, how the young ladiee have crucified him! The other day he got a sarcastic wire from a Northwestern co-ed: “If you’re such an expert on women’s looks, maybe you will come back and judge our beauty contest.” Bruce wired back: “Tried to get plane ticket but rumors out of Chicago referring to me as a dog have made the air lines afraid to give me a reservation.” About halfway from downtown Los Angeles to Hollywood is the Monogram studio. The late Charles Ray once owned this lot. It was here he sank a fortune into “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” the picture which broke him. Monogram operates differently. Its pictures cost little, make fortunes. Kay Francis chose this studio to film her picture, “Divorce,” in which she acts as co-producer with Jeffrey Bernerd. He is the man who has been specializing in problem pictures about delinquent children, parents, etc. This week I go out to the set to watch Key do a bit of home_wrecking. She is a sophisticated "divorcee who lures a small-town husband away from his nice little wife. The wife is Helen Mack and the naive, small-town husband, believe it or not, is Bruce Cabot. “I like casting like that,” Coproducer Bernerd tells me, "It’s different.” He’s not kidding. Just wait until Flynn, Pat De Cicco and Cabot’s other pals hear about him playing an innocent husband. This turns out to be a gay set. Everybody seems to be having fun. I ask Kay Francis how it feels to be a producer. And, now that she is one, isn’t she sorry for all those nasty thoughts she used to have about Warner Brothers. Kay smiles. “What do you mean?” she says. “I didn’t have as many nasty thoughts about them as they did . about me/* _

'laft, lacy straw bonnet; top right, beige batavia straw hat with rose; below, black organza and satin turban.f 1 Lilly Dache, American designer, has been doing research on the problem how to look young in an important hat. One heavily trimmed hat was turned wrong side out. bringing brim drapery and flower decoration underneath and around the face. The result was flattering and youthful. Crowns are high, nearly all draped, and all bulge at the top. The large hat, top right, shows the use of trimmings under the brim. It’s worn on the back of the head to make a flattering frame for the face. It is made of rosy beige batavia straw with draped satin and taffeta in old rose and beige, fabric roses to match. 1 The billowy turban, below, is made of soft folds of organza and satin work and is worn dipped over the brow. The model on the left is a winged bonnet of white lacy straw trimmed with brown grost ’grain, ribbon ripple brim widens at the side and gives, th is, model, a. winged, look—very youthful.'
