What’s in Fashion?

Practical Easter Costumes

Directed By AMOS PARRISH

VTEW YORK. April I.—Easter a outfits can give you a lot of service this season—if you choose them carefully. We can’t remember a spring when they've beap more practical or so full of good common sense as they are right now. And good-looking as well. Want proof? All right—we’re going to prove it to you. With only three costumes. But they’re three that are typical of many costumes you find in your spring shopping. Costume No. 1 is the spring coat without fur. There are literally hundreds of kinds. With narrow fabric collars, scarf collars, no collars at all, draped necklines. You can do things with these coats to change their appearance and to make them more or less formal—as you like. Wear Scarf, or Not You can wear scarfs with them, If you want to. Or put the scarf or collar of your dress outside, if the coat neckline is plain. You can change the color of your belt when you change your other* accessories. The coat sketched at the left in the illustration is particularly adaptable and therefore practical. The neckline can be draped up like a cowl and fastened. Thus makes the coat not only warm, but very soft and feminine looking. Unfastened, the collar falls in a Jabot effect. Then you can wear a bright scari or leave the neckline exposed to show the bright color of the dress beneath. Here’s Number Two Costume No. 2 is the dress that has its own matching jacket. A fine street costume with almost the 6ame feeling as a suit—but lighter. The dress, of course, can be worn with your long coat. The jacket, if it’s plain color, makes an extra jacket to wear with a white dress, or another dress of harmonizing color. Prints, plain fabrics, combinations of print and plain—they’re all fashionable In jacket dresses. The one we’ve sketched at the right show's a simple pin tucked dress (pin-tucking is very much in fashion this season) and straight pintucked cardigan. The belt can be w'orn either on the dress or on the jacket. Number three Is the spring suit. Lots of them. More being worn

Plans to Open Kindergarten at Tudor Hall Plans for the opening of a thoroughly equipped kindergarten at Tudor Hall with the beginning of the opening of school next year were announced by Miss I. Hilda Stewart, principal-elect of the school, following a visit here last week. The kindergarten will be conducted as a unit separate from the present primary department. The •director of the new department will be announced later. Miss Stewart is now assistant principal of the Cambridge-Haskell school at Cambridge, Mass. She returned to Cambridge Monday. MISSION HEADS TO CONFER THURSDAY Board of directors of the Indianapolis Flower Mission will meet at 10 Thursday in the Architects and Builders building.

Tau Kappas to Meet Members of Tau Kappa Tau Mother's Club will meet at the chapter house, 507 Buckingham drive, at 2 today, for a business meeting

this spring than last. One of the most popular, because it’s one of the most practical, is sketched at the ! center. It’s called the Vionnet suit, j Named after the French designer j who first made the suit that fastens ; over to the left side in a diagonal line. This particular one has other Vi- j onnet details, too—the narrow collar, kimono sleeves and diagonal seamings. Some other side closing suits won’t have all these details. But the fact that they do fasten over at the side makes them Vionnet type. For General Wear This suit is practical, so women find, because it’s neither too tai-! lored nor too dressy. It’s a good j general wear suit because it’s sim- | pie. But it’s soft-looking, too, and with j a more formal blouse can be worn for dressier events. And like the spring coat without fur you can do all sorts of interesting j things to vary the looks of this suit, | with different scarfs and dress collars. (Copyright. 1931. bv Amos Parrish!

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A FRIEND of mine has a son at a military college. The lad tells us that periodically the professors talk to the boys about their mental preparation for war. They are told that they must accustom themselves to the idea of fighting, since in all probability they will be soldiers in the next conflict. Now this, of course, is to be expected in a military school. But it does not lessen the horror of such training for the young. War is, after all, only a matter of education. Most of us are willing to admit that. Yet over the whole earth we teach our sons that they must fight. Do we ever use the more intelligent method of training them in the sort of knowledge that might help them to avert wars? No, indeed. WE put very slight emphasis upon an understanding of the problems of government. We take it for granted that our boys will know how to manage the affairs of their country. We assume that they will be able to sit in high political places and by their native wisdom, decide rightly the great questions that influence the lives of millions. And, as yet, our highest ideal of bravery, it seems, is the ability to stick a bayonet into another person without flinching. As to the greater virtue of moral courage. the only kind that ever has brought about any real progress, we take it very lightly in educational circles. We talk pacifism, and we train for battle. Yet Is it logical to say that any boy can be taught to believe in war and peace at the same time? If we took but an infinitesimal part of the money now spent on military education and used to train our children to keep peace between men and nations, we could accomplish wonders. But that, I suppose, would be treason.
