Crisp Silk Voile Good for Lingerie BY' FRANCES PAGET Corn-right. 1930. by Style Sources.' NEW YORK. Nov. 14—Linceric relief for black or colors Is one of the dressmaking details v.-hlch has been important In achieving a feminine aspect for recent daytime modes. Last spring it was fresh fine cottons. this fall fashion turned to light -ilks. such as crepes, piques, metalrmbroidered fabrics, or eyelet-em-broidered chiffons and georgettes well as woolens. New Lingerie Novelty All of which has given a few clever folks an idea for a fresh lingerie novelty, amusing and bci omlng—crisp gingham silk voile. The material is simply a transparent silk voile of yarp dyed in Hie skein and woven in half-inch or three - quarter - inch gingham checks. Dyeing the silk before weaving makes it crisp. Red and white, linen blue and w hite, and green and white checks arc considered best, but two colors w’ith white such a$ yellow and black with white, or blue and :cd with white also seen. Finds High Favor Collars and cuffs and “little” blouses are the destined field for these versions of the gingham check -uses which find a precedent in the check and paid trims of woolen spectator sports costumes this fall. While this is not a fabric fashion of large volume, it is one which is said to be finding favor with highstyle American creators, and offers an opportunity 4or one of those much sought after individual details in the costume.

BX MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE aversion of some children to school has been the topic of much discussion among parentteacher groups. And it’s high time we considered the question, when periodically some boy or girl actually commits suicide rather than go back to the classroom. It is Natural to suppose that the reason children do not always like school, when such a state of mind does exist, is because they are compelled to go’ there. The very fact that there is not only a parental edict, but an actual state law that forces them to remain for certain hours over their books, is quite enough to make them rebellious. Nor is their morale raised any by all the stories of paragons who have not missed a day or been tardy for a dozen years, which to the average child’s mind assumes the proportions of a century] tt tt n WHEN a youngster is tired of school and frankly says so, it looks as If the sensible parent should permit him tc remain at home without question—at least for a day or two. until it is found that some fundamentally wrong condition exists which makes him dislike school life. Because, given a short vacation when all the rest of his friends and playmates are at work, nearly always will send any pupil back in a more contented frame of mind. Aren’t we all likely to become bored with the enforced routine of our daily lives? And children, to whom routine is far more irksome than it is to us, suffer from this imprisonment far more than we imagine. It seems to me that a certain amount of rebellion must be found in the nature of every normal child. And it should be perfectly plain that a day in which he can do exactly as he likes could be of far more value to any lad than to be driven, like a galley slave, to a desk, there to fret over the walls that inclose him. If a child dislikes school, in nine cases out of ten, there is something wrong with the school.
