SMAIVr CLOTHES ON EASY CREDIT

Elegance Is Keynote of New Styles BY FRANCES PAGET j fCopyright. 1930. bv Style Sources' NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Viewing models launched by Paris this season one is impressed by the attention accorded women types. Rumors that fashion had grown up have been justified. Autumn clothes are ladies’ clothes in so many instances that one feels that special deference has been paid the woman who has the means to indulge herself in the extravagant fashions exploited. Both in line and in fabric, and certainly in color as well, the woman rather than the jeune fille has been considered. "Off shades” are | less trying than clear, bright ones, ! and long skirts and molded lines are attributes of dignity. Rich, rather heavy fabrics and a lavish use of fur are other items on the score of elegance and sophj istication. Only in millinery does one find a tendency to balk at ; this mature interpretation of the mode. Many a hat has its origin in a baby bonnet and so many of them I expose the brow and eyes to the | ruthless glare of the light that one j wonders how the “brow that is furrowed with care” will survive this cruel treatment. Hats are worn far back on the head and seem more trying than kind, excepting to the very young who are in the can-wear-anything class. True, there are some brimmed models —and many that have an elongated side line, but—not one j eyebrow but two, and some of the I hairline also is now being exposed j to the vulgar gaze of the multitude.

Family Menus

| Children always hail a picnic with delight, but too often the aftermath is so unpleasant for them that mothers dread this particular form of entertainment for their small folk. At such a time excitement usually runs high and freedom from restraining table manners, as well as the stimulus of fresh air, induces a thoughtless stuffing of foods with disastrous consequences. Asa first precaution, avoid too great a variety of foods. An array of different dishes is apt to confuse children to the point that they loose their appetites. For this reason the package picnic is particularly desirable for small children. Food Wrapped Separately All articles of food are wrapped separately in individual servings. They are then ai’ranged and packed in pastry boxes or on picnic plates and wrapped in heavy brown paper and securely tied with strong cord. Each child receives his package when lunch time comes and there is no tiresome passing. The luncheon must be planned with much thought. Use as much ' whole wheat bread as possible for sandwiches and choose the fillings with care. Minced raw vege-

tables, jellies, cream and cottage cheese, dried fruits and nuts run through the food chopper, all make acceptable filling and offer variety. Plain, hard-cooked eggs or those stuffed with finely chopped vegetables are wholesome and filling. Cabbage Good in Salad A finely minced cabbage and pineapple salad might take the place of the proverbial potato salad. This salad as well as the egg dish helps to supply the vitamins so often lacking in the average I picnic lunch. A thermos bottle of milk and a | small can of home-made chocolate [ syrup or a can of one of the many i good prepared cocoas on the marI ket ms kes it possible to produce a | festive milk shake with very little ! effort. The dessert should be kept simple, j Well-washed fruit and plain cakes | or cookies are suitable and adequate. Eggs and Bacon Tasteful If hot food is wanted, eggs can ! be scrambled over a camp-fire and | bacon can be frizzled on long green sticks by the same fire. Older children will love this feature and may help with the bacon. 1 A soup or stew for tiny children rcan be reheated over a small fire quickly and easily. | As soon as children are old enough to take part in outings they | should be taught that a picnic is a | go-operative affair and allowed to do their snare. The obligation on every picnicker to be positive that no bit of the j camp fire is left burning and that | no scraps of food or paper are left | about the picnic place should be imj pressed on children even when they | go on their first picnic excursion.

HOW to PLAY &ÜBACK6AMMCN

This is th* fifth article in a series on .‘‘Today's Backgammon'* which has been written for The Times and NEA Service by Elizabeth Clark Boyden, author of ‘‘The New Backgammon" and co-author of “Contract Bridge for 1930” and “Contract Bridge for 1931." BY ELIZABETH C. BOYDEN Written for NEA Service t THE player s first definite objective in the game of backgammon is to get all of his fifteen men safely into his home table. The two men who start in the opponents' home table have the j longest soad to travel, first through | ! the opponents’ outer table, then into j j the player's own outer table and j finally into the player's home table, j Sometimes it is necessary for good j j strategy to leave blots exposed while j ! traveling around the board, but if | I hit by the opponent these men are ! I forced to re-enter in the opponent’s j I inner table and re-travel the entire ; I distance. * The two players move in opposite ! directions, but must each keep to i ! his own prescribed path, as no 1 backward moves are allowed. Once a player’s men are all in his; own inner table, he may begin to remove them entirely from the : board. This must be done in ac-! cordance wtih the throw of the dice. ; The points are numbered for this | purpose from one to six beginning | at the outer edge of the home table, i Point 6 is, therefore, next to the | bar. o a WHEN bearing the men from the home table a player has | ; several options as follows: | 1. He may bear off a man for! j each number on the dice as thrown, ! provided he has men on these : points. j 2. He may bear off one man from a point coinciding with one of the | numbers thrown, and move a man in the table for the other number. 3. He may move men in his inner table for both the numbers thrown provided the points are clear for him to do so. , When the opponent still has a | man or men in the player's home i | table it sometimes is very Important to move a man up in preference to throwing one off if by so doing the player can avoid leaving a blot. If, while bearing off men from the home table, a blot is hit by the opponent, this blot must be placed upon the bar, entered in the opponent’s inner table before another man can be borne off the board. a tt a IF the point indicated by the number thrown is vacant, a player is obliged to move a man from a higher counting number whenever he is able to do so. For example: A player throws a five. There is no man on point 5, but there are men on point 6. The player is obliged to move a man from point 6 to point 1 provided point 1 is clear. If point 1 is blocked by the opponent the player loses the throw. If the player had two men on point 6 and had thrown a five and six he would bear off one man from point 6 for the play of the six and if point 1 were blocked by the enemy he would be obliged to let've a blot' on point 6. If there is no man on any higher

And yet, though youth can better stand to be * “conservative” in its demands for luxuries, how often it happens that youth enjoys more of life’s good things than age.

counting point a man may be removed from the highest counting point. In the above example if point 5 and pdint 6 were both vacant, two men must be removed from the highest counting point which contains a man. This must be done even when it forces the player to leave a blot. If there were three men on point 4 the player would be obliged to remove two of these men for his five and six if point 5 and point 6 were vacant. When moving up men in the home table, the move can be made anywhere in the table provided the points are clear to permit the move. If doublets are thrown four men instead of two must either be thrown off or moved up. A player may always choose whether to bear off a man or move him up. a a a THE player who first bears all his men off the board wins. If the loser has borne even one of his men from the board, it is a single game. If the loser has not borne a single man from the board, it is a gammon or double game. If the loser has not borne a single man from the board and still has a man in the winner’s inner table or on the bar. it is a backgammon or .riple game. The scoring by games, gammons and backgammons has been a feature of the game over many generations of play. Much of the fine strategy of play revolves around legitimate risks taken with the reward and glory in view of a possible gammon or backgammon. Some of the modem players are scoring by the number of checkers left on the board at the end of the game and omitting the gammons, but it is very doubtful whether this is an improvement on the older method, and whether this change will continue.

Marriage Is % Beacon on a Life’s Way BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON The Memphis Press-Scimitar ha3 been running a series of interview* with the married of that city. In j which their husbands are discussed I —the idiosyncrasies, the hobbies, the recreations, the oddities and the i dispositions of the men. ! And. strange as it may seem, tfKi i general tone of them all is: “My husband, in spite of these peculiarities, is just about the nicest husband in the country.” With divorce news on one side and murder and racketeering on thu other, here is*a feature that bids us believe that all is not lost, matrimonially speaking. Such stories, too. are splendid things, because it is not to be denied that news In general leans toward the bizarre Ei;i the abnormal. Play Up Sordid Size The very fact that it is unusual makes it news. Nevertheless, somej times after reading our papers we. arrive at the conclusion that the normal does not exist. A thousand divorced women to I one wife are interviewed op marriage. Seldom does any mere married man make the front page and seldom does one who has spent a | lifetime with one woman get any space. | Memphis is a pretty representa- | tive city. In every other corner of : this land, in towns, large, small and i middle sized, the same conditions , prevail. There abide countless hun- ! dreds of women who love their hus- | bands and are proud of them, and men who go to work each day adoring their'families and filled with fond dreams for the future of their children. Marriage Is Enduring It is upon men and women like ! this that the hope of the nation de- | pends. We do not need to fear that i they will fail. And one of the most wearisome things in the world is that marital i troubles ahvays are played up, in ! the paper, in the movies, on the j stage. The jokes about quarreling | husbands and wives are endless and ! trite. It's astonishing that marriage has survived the ordeals that have been put upon it. But it endures, my friends, it endures, a shining beacon in a world murky with sordidness and tragedy and woe. VISITORS TO CITY ARE ENTERTAINED Mrs. Otto Bunge, 1145 Reid place, entertained Thursday in h . r of Mrs. W. A. Matthews, Miami, Fla., and Mrs. William Duckwall, Cincinnati. O.
