Glamorous New Housecoats, Smart Prints Rescue Milady
i Tan By MARIAN YOUNG ne NEW YORK, Jan. 20 (NEA).—She’s interested’ in southern resort and cruise clothes, of course—because they are indicative of spring trends. And, because she is thoroughly fashion conscious, she likes to know what smart women are wearing for skiing and skating at
However, what Mrs. Average Woman wants for herself right now are chic outfits and gay accessories that add new interest to a wardrobe with which she is faintly boréd. She, like the vast majority of us who aren't going
‘|north for skiing or south for swim-
ming or anywhere else for that matter, wants something bright and chic to wear when she entertains at home, to make a last fall's black dress seem fresh and gay, to add a festive note to her favorite winter street ensemble.
Housecoats Catch Eye
She looks first at housecoats — glamorous creations. to make hostesses prettier these post-holiday evenings when it’s more fun to entertain at home than to go out. And housecoats (call them hostess gowns, if you like) never have been lovelier. The most popular type is full skirted and slim waisted and made of velvet, brocaded silk, lame or sheer, fine wool or silk jersey. They come in all colors from rich, deep reds and purples to delicate ice blues and soft grays. In this category and probably a bit more practical are casual dinner ensembles that are perfect for dinner at home and informal parties. The majority of these, too, are full-skirted. One particularly handsome dinner outfit includes a swirling skirt of black wool damask, a gold wool damask shirtwaister blouse and a wide, flamecolored belt of matching fabric. Another, ‘especially suitable for larger figures, includes an accordion pleated wool jersey skirt and a blouse of cyclamen pink lame to be worn outside the top of the
various northern winter resorts. ®
under winter coats, new prints are particularly noteworthy. Small, almost tiny, florals and geometrics in combinations of tulip yellows instead of pale, lemon yellow tones, royal rather than baby blue, and cyclamen pinks instead of “baby pinks make stunning full-skirted frocks with slender, molded bodices. A lime green dress would be lovely under a mink coat or a brown cloth one with fur collar. -One of sheer wool in vivid scarlet might make you forget how tired you are of the old black Persian lamb coat you must wear over it. If you want a less spectacular dress which will be useful all spring as well as during the rest of the winter, consider something like the smart number American designer Nina Price has created. Of cinnamon crepe, with a square neckline and subtly flared skirt, it is shown with a black silk cobbler’s:- apron which goes around the neck, halter fashion, and is snapped ‘te the waistline at the back. The dress may be worn with or without the black apron.
For Warm Feet
For the man who likes really unusual appointments, there are new sealskin moccasin type house slippers from Norway. Fleece lined for extra softness and warmth, they do wonders to promote complete relaxation after strenuous winter sports. j

Feminine Leader Urges Arms Pact
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (U. P.) — The women of America will support ' an adequate national defense pro- © gram, Mrs. Frederic Beggs, Wyckoff, directors of the General
eration’s Department of International Affairs, said the United States should continue to work for an international agreement for reduction in armaments.
“In a world where the ability to use force seems to be the only power that commands respect, we believe that it would be unwise, as well as useless, to offer serious objections to any measure that will provide necessary backing for the policies which our Government may need to pursue,” she said.
Close Study Urged
- “But it will be necessary to examine ‘and judge the rearmament program as to whether it is designed, to go beyond the actual needs of adequate national defense or in-
cludes an attempt to solve our internal economic problems by reviving our industry and putting our, unemployed to work in unproductive enterprises.” i The directors will hear plans for the - federation’s annual council meeting, May 8 to 14, in San Francisco discussed today by Mrs. Duncan S. Robinson of Sar Francisco and Mrs. Frederick G. Balz of Indianapolis. Mrs. Robinson, president of the California State Federation and chairman. of the entertainment committee, will tell of plans to entertain the 1200 delegates expected to attend. Mrs. Balz, chairman of the program committee, will discuss the program for the convention.

Links War With Too Many Births
NEW YORK, Jan. 20 (U. P).— Margaret Sanger today advocated birth control as a powerful instrument to “curb the pressure of population which explodes into war.” Addressing the 18th:annual meeting of the American Birth Control League, Mrs. Sanger said: “Today we see Germany, Italy and. Japan
clutching at the throats of de-|
mocracies, and demanding more
land, more colonies for the expan- |’
sion of territory and markets with which to feed their surplus popu= lations. The peace of Europe is not going to be permanently established by handing over a bit of ter=ritory or colonies to any nation with a high" birth rate. This simply postpones the crisis. “Birth control can be used as a means to raise the level of the intelligence of our population, to lower infant and maternal mortality. It can be used to improve our general health and well-being and it can curb the pressure of population which explodes into war.” ‘ ‘Approximately 600 attended the meeting—the outgrowth of the New Birth Control Federation of America, formed yesterday through a merger of the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau with the American Birth Control League and the New Yo!
