The brassiere is entirely of lace. • Below) For the woman who needs support, a trim corselette uses silk rubber webbing for the sides and rear and lace for the front papel.

(Right, upper) For the short figure, a girdle of pink faille and silk elastic makes a neat and form-fitting support. (Right, center) Pale blue brocade, with a satin flower, fashions a corset that tops the waistline. A fitted brassiere meets it and insures a supple base for a princess frock. (Right, lower) Even the slender figure dons a girdle this autumn, but this one of dainty figured peach colored ribbon is enough support.

CORSETS are autumn’s latest gesture to the returning feminine modes that emphasize the princess silhouette. Not that they bear any relation, other than the name, to the corsets of mother's day. Rather, they are as supple, dainty formfitting bits of lace, ribbon and fine brocaded silks, designed to set easily on he slender figure of today, which needs no restraining as did the figures of yesterday. Natural waistlines are marked in all the new girdles, corselcttes and elastic corsets. Some lovely ones use as many as three different materials, intricately joined, to get the tailoring necessary. There are long, slender corselettes for the girl with willowy grace, short, stouter ones for the figure that has settled slightly. There are ribbon nothings with garters f attached for the little dancing deb and there are firm faille silk and elastic deep girdles for her mother. The variety and beauty of these foundations of perfect grooming is show’n in a group of different designs.

SPIRAL SMART FOR SPORT

~ y. •*vy ~ y. •/. ,*. V> ‘VOs. • \ **, • V.’rX

The fancy curves Milady will cut this winter on skates will have nothing on the fancy spirals that wind around the newest of her decorative sports costumes. Last year’s blunt diagonal stripes give way to graceful spiral stripes on new sports sweaters. Stripes begin at one shoulder, wind down and around the body and curve up the back. At the Olympia fashion show in London two little girls in skating and skiing togs, respectively, proved the chic of spiral stripes. (Left) Nothing is smarter than green for skiing. This suit uses three greens, faint lime, jade and bottle, to stripe its white crewnecked sweater most jauntily. The accordion pleated, very short coulette skirt is of the darkest green. The cap is anew type of skull, striped like the sweater. (Right) For skating, scarlet, maize and white are smartly blended to give spiral beauty to a heavy white all-wool sweater that features a skirt collar that buttons right up the neck, and turns itself down, in collegiate nonchalance. The new beret is white, the skirt scarlet.

Vcmr Child Something’s Wrong When Child Must Play Game of Craft

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Once upon a time in my room at school I had a crafty little girl. I've had all sorts of unfortunate children to deal with, sneaky ones, untruthful ones, dishonest ones (I always think of such children as unfortunate rather than bad), but I’d never come across one quite so smooth as this youngster. I never caught her cheating; I never knew her actually to be lying; I never had anything more than a positive conviction that everything she did was a pose. Several years later in Continuation school she got into some sort of trouble and I saw her name in the newspaper. I forget now 7 what it w r as, but it verified my suspicions that in that child I had the world’s ■greatest actress. Should Be Pitied All such children are to be greatly pitted, for in a way they are not uncommon. Because they wouldn’t be acting if there wasn't a cause.

E. Stallings, 418 North Kealing avenue. The wedding took place at 5 Saturday afternoon at the home of the Rev. Bert R. Johnson.

The worst of it is you feel so helpless. There is nothing tangible to take hold of. Nothing you can do. Probably she had a drunken father who beat her, or a mother who neglected and abused her. Her entire environment, her home experience had evidently been of a sort to foster every sort of misbehavior. But on getting out in the world, in the decent, uplifting environment of tfie schoolroom she had been smart enough to see the necessity of living up to a different part—or pretending to. She had become crafty. Knew She Wasn’t Honest A teacher forgets children in time—all except a certain number who stand out in her memory for some special reason, but I still have a mental picture of that little girl with her butter-would-melt-in-her-mouth expression, trying so hard to convince people that she was honest. And I knew that she wasn’t honest—that she hadn’t an honest thought in her head—that she was occupying a seat in the first row she had no right to, that every gesture and action and expression was a lie. I had had other children like her. posers and pretenders, but none who could reach her mark in the art of counterfeiting.

Something Was Wrong Why do I speak of her now? Because recently I ran into another child who reminded me of her—a child of well-to-do parents, of good family. Something's wrong when a little child has to cover his tracks and keep up that miserable game of pretending. I suppose we all turn into actors more or less, in time. We wouldn't dare to cxpo.se to the worjd the people we really are with all our faults and meannesses. But in a child, it is a bad thing. A child's mind should be open —a mirror without tricks and subterfuges and cunning. I feel more and more every day the extreme necessity for parents being pals and confidants of their children. It is the only way to keep child minds open and honest. It must be too much strictness that causes craftiness, certainly it can’t be anything els'e. Even open dishonesty is better than that. It is the most despicable trait I know.

You Be the Judge About Your Child BY MBS. WALTER FERGUSON Being a mother myself. I naturally am interested in mothers. Therefore. like millions of other American women. I am apt. to become concerned over the multitudinous and varying things that appear in print directed solely to us. Before I began following them so closely. I was fairly satisfied with my children and worried very little about the future. But along with all the rest of the mothers, I have become positively addled with trying to follow these “baiaviorists.” And just between the two of us, I am of opinion that most of them do not know what they arc talking about. That conclusion has been reached only after many difficult months of testing some of their theories. Depends on Yourself The kind of mother you arc depends, after all, entirely on your disposition. The domineering woman who is apt to want to arrange alt the club programs, and put through her particular political slate, and tell her husband what kind of neckties to wear, is the mother who inevitably will rear children with slack backbones. She will regulate them into misery and then flatter herself that she has sacrificed her life to them. The lazy woman who can t bo bothered will allow her children to grow up helter skelter and because they will be thrown early upon their own recourses, the chances arc that she will have more aggressive and successful offspring than the aging type. The whining, nagging woman will find her family leaving home early, while the ulti.. pious is likely to be astonished at the agnosticism of her brood. Can’t Depend nn Theories

You can't go much by theories when you raise babies. And it’s a good thing, too. Os course wc all want finer men and women. We want civilization to advance, the world to improve, and humans to be happier. But, on the other hand wouldn't it be rather a sad thing ii the children became too perfect? It would be distinctly monotonous to have all babies conform to the theories of psychology and respond supinely to all scholastic tests. When you come to think of it, you know that half the excitement in the world comes from the way in which the children behave, while the other half is furnished by the behaviorists telling us why they ck) It’s nicer just to struggle aloi: as we are. If the theories all worke l out. what would the educators do f* i something to practice on? Bride-to-Be Is Honored With Shower Party Miss Armella Bauman, 1035 Hasbrook street, entertained with a miscellaneous shower Monday night at her home in honor of Miss Matie Munsch, who will wed Delbert F.
