‘JILL OF ALL TRADES;’ THAT’S RUTH ETTING

Prairie Girl Made Good in Big Way BY MARION HALE NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—ls things hadn't been difficult for Ruth Etting in her childhood she might be the leading modiste in David City, Neb., today instead of the radio idol of millions of home folks. "A Jack of all trades never becomes master of one,” her friends and family cautioned when they observed Ruth flitting from sketching to sewing, from sewing to dancing. Once in a while she would oblige with a song, but it was the joyous singing of a youngster rather than one imbued with ambition to later warble for a livelihood. Ruth Etting, the blue eyed blondhaired prairie girl, has made good in a big way. In spite of the fact that she has been a ‘‘Jill of all trades.” Decided on Costuming Ruth always had a yen for drawing. This yearning grew with the years, and because she could wield a mean pair of shears and turn a few yards of gingham into something of a creation, she decided that costume designing Vas to be her life’s work. She visioned a fine establishment arising in her home town with the simple announcement: “Ruth Etting —Couturier." She discussed the matter at length with her family. And it was decided that when she graduated from high school she would make her home in Chicago and study at the Academy of Fine Arts. But after one semester there was no money for the next term’s tuition. Intent on Art Career Some of the girls were earning expense money by dancing in the chorus of neighboring night clubs, so Ruth joined them. Still intent upon that art career, Ruth returned to school when she had saved sufficient money from her salary as a dancer. When the cash gave out this time she joined another troupe. Ruth was an enterprising miss. For when the management discovered her talent for sketching and designing, she was put on the pay roll to design the costumes of the ensemble numbers, and for the principals. Asa member of the chorus, Ruth had to sing as well as dance. One night a “plaintive something” in the voice of the prairie girl reached the discerning ear of the musical director. Song Goes Over It came straight from the heart and ended in a full-throated throb. He had her sing a solo number to fill in for one of the principals who was ill. That song went over beautifully and Ruth advanced to the principal class, singing blues songs as if her very life depended upon it. The next art school semester began. But this time Ruth Etting was conspicuous by her absence. Her newly discovered voice was bringing her the first taste of fame. She was in demand for stage appearances in the great Chicago movie palaces, and eventually radio reached out for her talents. Her mellow voice also registered uncommonly well on records. Drew Zicgfeld’s Attention When a beautiful girl wins the plandits of a big city, it doesn’t take long for Flo Ziegfeld to hear about it. So when “Whoopee” opened on Broadway, with Eddie Cantor as its star, the slim, shy girl from David City held the center of the stage and sang her way into the hearts of a hard-boiled first-night audience. She has been singing ever since. Today Ruth Etting is one of the highest-paid stars on the stage and on the air. When she isn’t appearing in the Ziegfeld Follies or broadcasting, she is making records or talking picture “shorts.” But this “Jill of all trades” who has mastered one, still loves to sketch, sew and dance. And her hands fairly itch to plant some flowering shrub in the cool, moist soil as she did in her childhood days. Ruth’s one ambition now, like the one that Marion Tally realized, is to save enough money to buy a farm in Nebraska and return there when the footlights have lost their lure. Mi's.

Ray Brown Penthouse Is Cool Retreat From Blistering Winds

BY MARY BINGHAM.

When blistering breezes blow and the populace swelters in the heat of the summer sun, the Ray Browns look down from their pent house roof garden atop the Admiral apartment house, secure in their cool retreat. On the hottest days, in spite of the beating sun, they affirm that there always is a cool breeze. And -ten stories up the mildest zephyr becomes a stiff wind. It was a problem, said Mrs. Brown, to keep their flower boxes secure until they invested in some stone urns. And it’s impossible to keep articles on the tables because they constantly are blown off. As yet, it has not been necessary to tack down the chairs, but in the

Just Every Day Sense

Marriage has always been woman’s chief business. Historians tell us that it was invented for our protection and that it remains our safeguard and refuge. This, however, does not prevent me from believing that most wives take it too seriously. The average woman looks upon matrimony as life, whereas it is only a means of living. She does not see it for what it actually is, a condition to promote the happiness of individuals, or to continue family life. She thinks of it as an institution only in relation to herself. She regards it not as a means to an end, but as and end within itself. Marriage is only one of the avenues through which we may obtain happiness. It is an experiment in living, by which men and women together have realized the fullest earthly content, or the utmost human misery'. But decidedly it is not the sole method for the fulfillment of our dreams. u a SOME of us may regard it as the most important of these methods, but we should be displaying the grossest ignorance in the face of facts if we insisted that it is the only one. The wife who believes that marriage is a state in which she may abide serene and untroubled is fated to be disillusioned. Unless she understands the sacrifices it entails, she is doomed to unhappiness. If, loving the man she has chosen, she iftiows he is worthy of her efforts, she will undoubtedly never regret them. The important thing for women to remember is this: Even if marriage fails there are many other ways of finding life interesting.

ter of the garden. It was solved, after a severe mental strain, very simply. Mr. Brown had circular wooden benches with high picket backs placed around them, and just below the fan, which is painted green, he had a sort of an awning-umbrella placed. These benches surprisingly have proved to be more comfortable than any of the other furniture with the exception of the awningstriped canvas glider. The bench is white and as a color note is decorated with gay cushions. The metal outdoor chairs and love seats are bright green. Besides the roof garden there are several other little balcony nooks off the various rooms that are shaded by thick vines and greenery and contain a chair or two and perhaps a table. Just off the dining room is one of these small balconies large enough for a table and four chairs, where breakfast and lunch are served. The arrangement of the apartment is unusual. It consists of the two combined front apartments on the ninth floor of the building, and the tenth floor on the roof. And seldom in the evening can one sit in the garden, without a wrap! GIVES BRIDGE PARTY FOR HOUSE GUEST Miss Marinanna Hedges entertained at her home, 1826 Ruckle street, Friday afternoon, with a bridge party in honor of her house guest, Miss Mary McCarthy, Chicago. A color scheme of pink and blue was carried out in the appointments, and in the table decorations at serving time. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. Corwin R. Cutsinger.

What’s in Fashion?

Knitted Costumes, to ‘Last’

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—“ What can I get to wear on my August vacation that I can still wear in the fall?” is a frequent question these days. Maybe you’re asking it, too. One answer . . . and just about the best one we think of . . . is—a knitted costume. A knitted suit of boucle—that lightweight wool knit in the looped nub effect. (You’ve seen lots of them on city streets and country lanes these last couple of months.) Or a knitted dress, also boucle or of lacy knit wool, featherweight jersey, or open-work wool mesh. Uses Are Many These knitted costumes are practical for seashore (dampness doesn’t hurt them) for mountains or country. They’re fine lor traveling on trains, boats, in automobiles or airplanes. * They’re comfortable for walking, for playing tennis or golf, or just watching. In fact, just about the only vacation pursuits they aren’t so good for are swimming or dancing. You’ll still be able to wear them in the early fall—in town or in the country—in those bright sports shades of green or rust or red or in the street colors like light navy, black, deep green or brown. Weight Is Comfortable These smart knitted wools are very light and sheer...not a bit too warm for summer comfort. The boucles, as you know, have a surface that’s rough and nubby in effect... something like the rougher surfaced crepey woolens you’ve had in coats and dresses. Some of the sheer knits are 4bbed vertically—like the knittings and purling stitches you use when you make sweaters. Some others have a diagonal line effect and are quite openwork. And still others copy lace patterns with intricate designs. Usually Three-Piece Suits Suits usually have three pieces .. . a skirt, jacket and sweater blouse. Some have a jacket in a color that contrasts with the skirt. We saw Mrs. David Schoonmaker

wearing one like this at Southampton the other day—the skirt made with fine horizontal stripe and the dark jacket edged with striped knit. The sweater top was white. Some have jacket and skirt of one color and the sweater blouse in another shade of that color or in white. Often, too, when the jacket and skirt match in color and design, the contrasting blouse will contrast in stxtch, too. One favorite way of this contrast is a plain knit jacket and skirt and a lacy knit blouse. The knitted dresses most in fashion for now and for fall are onepiece with cap or polo length sleeves. You can have all sorts of different belts to wear with them—shiny patent leather, dull leather or those very new, very smart crocheted belts in two colors. Later in the fall these one-piece dresses are going to look very swanky worn with separate contrasting color jackets of flannel. We’ve had sketched one suit and one dress that are representative types of knitted costumes you can safely buy now for wear In the fall. (These aren’t the only "ones, of course.) The dress is the becoming doublebreasted type with polo sleeves (fine for fall golf as well as street wear with a jacket). And the boucle suit has the cardigan jacket that fastens with five or six buttons below the waist. fCoDvrleht. 1931, by Amos Parrish) Next: A vacation stocking and glove wardrobe is descibed by Amos Parrish.
