Softer Note Is Struck by Parisian Spring and Early Summer Fashions More Feminine Silhouette Observed in Style Capital; Waistline Stays Normal; Skirt Lengths Little Changed.“Styles for spring and parly summer will be softer and more flattering." says Ellen Worth, editor of •'Fifth Avenue Fashions" which appears daily in The Times as a pattern service. Miss Worth has returned from Paris, where she viewed the springearly summer P’rench openings. In discussing the fashions shown by the Paris couturiers, Miss Worth reported that the line of the new daytime silhouette is softening; the molded slim outline is disappearing, and a more feminine siltouette is noted.
The waistline remains at normal and is marked by many new belts and sashes. Sport frocks remain unchanged in skirt lengths. Other daytjme dresses, however, offer variety in lengths. Some Paris houses sponsor the same length we have been wearing. Other couturiers (Lanvin, Chanel, Patou and Molyneux, for instance) show a longer oaytime dress in ankle or three inches above ankle length. Back Fullness New in Skirts Interesting detail marks practically all the new skirts, with back fullness the latest note. Exceptions to this rule are perfectly plain skirts at Schiaparelli's, and some plain bias skirts at Vionnet's. Otherwise, skirts re - al these fashions: 1. Plain fronts, pleats in back. 2. Bias skirts with pleats in back. 3. All types of gored skirts as inverted, impressed, etc. 4. All manner of pleat trimming. 5. Wrap-around skirts, with front side or back wraps. 6. Skirts that button down the front or down the back. 7. A few skirts “hiked up” in front with front fullness. These features, of course, refer to skirts for daytime wear. Bodire ami Neckline Fashions These show the new softer influence that distinguishes the coming styles. Less shoulder breadth is also generally noted. Some new necklines include: 1. High choke-neck cowls, dragged to the back in V-shape and buttoned. These are a very new and “different” looking fashion. 2. Tie necks of the drawn ribbon type, with inch and a half to threeinch hems through which ties are drawn. This gives a shirred effect. The tie usually forms a bow in front. Vionnet and Schiaparelli favor these. 3. New neckline treatments shown by all couturiers. 4 Necklines pulled to the side as slanted Vs or squares, Bruyeye. 5. Plain Vs and high, round, flat necks shown everywhere. 6. Low cut backs and strap decollates borrowed from evening frocks are used for beach costumes by Patou, Paray, Mainbocher. 7. Jewelry necklaces used as an intrinsic part of the neckline by Patou. All this variety in bodice and | neckline treatments shows one com- ■ mon trend, a general softening of, line. . New Sleeve Treatments ■ All the couturiers emphasize j sleeve details, with the following treatments considered especially important: 1. Cape sleeves and under-arm open cape effects shown everwhere. Vionnst features elbow'-length dolman sleeves in cape effect. 2. Slashed sleeves shown by Patou, Lanvin and Mainbocher. 3. Set-in circular flounced sleeves featured by Mainbocher. Other couturiers show new elbow details. 4. Long, plain sleeves and plain cap sleeves shown everywhere. .5. Three-quarter and elbowlength sleeves featured by all Paris houses. Lyolene shows sleeves pushed up to give a rolled-up effect in elbow length. 6. Dropprd-shoulder sleeves finished on the bias at Voupy's, Vionnet’s and Bruyere’s. 7. Set-in sleeves seen everywhere, but. featured especially by Mainbocher. Raglan effects in sleeves are used everywhere.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
These are troublesome times. Many new and difficult problems will arise to disturb the peace of the people. Ts you want to talk out your troubles to some one, write a letter to Jane Jordan and read your answer in a few dajs in this ! column. I -pvEAR. JANE JORDAN—My I husband is a man with a pleasant personality. He is what some call the “life cff the party.” But l am the very opposite. Since we married, he has invited his friends out, and of course expects me to help him entertain them. I've disappointed him several times by being so mealy-mouthed, and I have had quite a few bawlings out from him. Lately he has tried to help me, and I have improved some, but net as much as I should, for I want him to be proud of me. I can keep up a conversation as long as someone starts it, but as soon as they end that certain subject, I can't think of anything to say to start another. I get my words confused when I'm talking, especially to a stranger. I know what I want to say, but I can't seem to think fast enough to say the right words. Then I stumble and usually say it wrong. Is there any way of correcting this or am I just naturally dumb? I Please help me, if for no other reason than for my husband's, sake. CONFUSED MARY. ANSWER— Dr. Alfred Adler tells us that the feeling of inferiority from which you suffer is common to every one, and that it begins in childhood. The child feels little and dependent, and he struggles to overcome it. The degree of his success depends upon how well he j learns to co-operate with others, j "The only right way (for the in- ; dividual) to overcome this feeling of | inferiority, which involves every-1 body,” writes Adler, “is to feel j worthwhile, and he can not do so if he does not co-operate.” Your trouble, as I see it, arises: from insufficient practice in co- ! operating with your fellows. And a lack of co-operation implies a lack of any real interest in other people and their problems. At first glance, it may be difficult for you to see how a lack of cooperation accounts for the fact that you can not think of things to say, that you are not entertaining, that you are self-conscious and confused in conversation and are inclined to I be “mealy-mouth.” All this merely j means that you are not a good j mixer and a good mixer is one who has learned to co-operate. 800 YOU are not dumb. If you were, you would not have recognized ' your deficiencies and uttered such a sincere cry for help. You simply, ! as yet, are not more deeply inter- ! ested in ethers than you are in i yourself. No concern for the welfare of your neighbor or your nation has been powerful enough to make you forget completely your l own entity. You have, however, made an ex- ! cellent beginning in wishing to please your husband more than you i wish to please yourself. Encourage this first step in self-forgetfulness by enlarging this wish to please to include your friends and his. There could be no oetter time to begin than now. A great national emergency exists which involves the happiness of every man. woman and child in the country. An this point the very survival of the nation depends upon the power of its people to co-operate. How is your neighbor faring dur- | ing this season of strain? Perhaps i there is something you can do to I lend a helping hand, or to keep ! his courage alive. nan HAVE you been interested in reactions of the pleople kince the banks of the nation declared a holiday? if you were a close observer, perhaps -you would have noted a curious kind of relief on many faces which at times crowds away the strain. Why was this true? Money was out of the picture for the moment. There wasn't any. Nobody had any to speak of. There was no more keeping up with the Joneses, for the Joneses didn't have anything, either. Nobody could blame anybody else for not paying his bills. - And there was nothing to do about it. In such a moment we get just the tiniest glimpse of what it would be like if never again would there i be any money to struggle for, yet I everybody was assured of “rent, ra--1 tions and raiment. ’ But you can ! not conceive of such a society without the complete co-operation of each and every one of its members. THIS is why I believe that the very meaning of human life is

held in the w'ord “co-operation.” Without it there can be no productive w'ork, no happy marriage, no psychologically healthy children. Our life is not so ordered that any one individual, or even any one nation, can isolate himself or itself from the whole and be happy. To return to Adler for one last trenchant statement, “What happens to the lives of people w : ho have not contributed? These people disappear; there is no place for them in human life. “This is the underlying idea of individual psychology. An unwritten lawn the logic of life, rises up against such lives and says; ‘Get aw r ay, w r e do not need you, you are not fitted to this life, you do not contribute,’ ” Therefore, the best advice I can give to any one is: Forget yourself in the interests of others. Cooperate. Contribute. Herein lies not only your ow'n personal salvation, but the salvation of the whole of society. MRS. E.

Pudgy? Beauty Now a a a a an Eugenie Leontovich Overcomes Handicap
ofr*' j V
Babies that even the most doting of grandlnothers could not call pretty need not start their parents worrying over future successes. Six women noted for their charm today have confessed of being plain little girls, a source of embarrassment to mothers who would have liked them to be curly haired and cunning. Here is the second story. BY ELIZABETH CLARK SHE was fat and pudgy. When she said that she was going to be an actress, every one laughed. To go on the stage one must have good lodks and sex appeal, something that was then lacking in little Eugenie Leontovich. Today the start of “Twentieth Century” has these and more—a low, rich voice, the slenderest of figures and a wealth of charm.
Miss Leontovich interrupted the business of transforming herself into the temperamental Lily Garland tp tell of her childhood in Russia. nun WE, my two sisters and I, were always reciting and playing little plays between ourselves, but I was such a comical little thing that mother never tool: me sej riously w'hen I said I wanted to ! e an actress w'hen I grew' up,” she said. “When I told my family that I w'as going on the stage they w'ere appalled and my four brothers resisted very much. Only my father and my sisters did not try to make me change my mind. tt a tt “TMAGINE it! To paint my face 1 and blacken my eyes for every j one to see! Why, the first time I was caught with a bit of lipstick | on mother made a tragedy of it.” But Eugenie got her ow'n way and w'as staunchly backed up by her two older sisters. When she had finished school in Odessa, one of them took her to j Moscow' for the three years’ train- ! ing that actresses in Russia had to put in before appearing behind the j footlights. “It was bitter cold and I was all bundled up in coats and shaw'ls.” she said reminiscently. “When I was upwrapped every one laughed and laughed.
