HOOSIERS HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST in Nor-
Norman went to school here and it was "probably in Keith's
| won the Coty Co.s first annual
vaudeville performances. At any rate, it was in one of the Indianapolis theaters that he decided he was going to design costumes and stage sets when he grew up. When the first world war came, Norman was too young to enlist but he insisted on entering a military school. With the war's end his interest in the school evaporated and he headed for New York and more art study. (He'd already done some work at the Art school here.) d - on HE WAS 19 when he entered the Parsons school in New York but he stayed there only a short time. Coming back to Indianapolis, he and a partner opened a batik shop, which they ran for one summer. Stil] with the idea of studying costume design, Mr. Norell went back to New York and entered Pratt institute to take the fashion and art courses. After completing the course he got his first job designing the costumes for a Rudolph Valentino film, “The Sainted Devil,” which was made in Astoria, Long Island. Norell went on to design movie costumes for Gloria Swanson and Mae Murray and also those for the Greenwich Village and Ziegfeld Follies stage productions.
» = = AFTER A period of illness back in Indianapolis, he set out once more for New York and joined the Brooks Costume Co. where he remained for several years. He then went to Charles Armour’s wholesale dress house where he had his first experience designing clothes to be worn in private life, During his four years there, he earned such recognition for his work that Hattie Carnegie asked him to join her staff of designers. He was with Carnegie for 13 years. Wanting a firm of his own after that, he and A. Traina of the wholesale house of A. Traina Gowns joined forces in 1941 and formed the firm of Traina-Norell, Inc. He does all the designing and Mr. Traina handles the business details. - ” = NORELL'S DESIGNS have a Sefitite personality unmistakable to the fashion-wise.

Fashion Critics’ award. He also won, in 1942, the Nieman-Marcus award for distinguished service in the field of fashion.
He lives in a bachelor apartment in Greenwich Village and after a day's work at the Traina-Norell offices on Seventh ave., goes home to do more sketching—sometimes until the small. hours of the morning. Week-ends he spends browsing through museums and art collections looking for still more fashion ideas. His principal hobbies are collecting Chinese jades and porcelains and 18th century furniture. He is an “auction hound,” he says, and most wintry Saturday afternoons find him among the bidders in New York's Parke-Bernet galleries.

To Continue Education’
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Scripps-Howard Staff Writer ~ THE G.I. BILL of rights which became law June 22 offers unusual educational opportunities to the exsoldier. Reporting in the Saturday Evening Post, Stanley Frank says the ex-soldier doesn't care for ft, thank you. So far, fewer than 1: per cent of the veterans have taken advantage of their government's offer, “Mr. Frank points out that most teachers are underpaid. While education has been free, its quality has been deteriorating. And incompetent teachers stifle youthful curi-
THERE ALSO is a widespread notion that all education should serve as .a steppingstone to highsalaried positions, A good many nice people sniff at culture. Flocks of American businessmen in the past have scoffed at professors and artists. They never want their sons to become musicians or painters. Business—that is to say, mere| money-making—has been the chief aim of most men. Anybody who doesn’t take to the idea is a sissy. " » ” SO BOYS coming home will probably think first of getting ahead materially. Perhaps they'll even want to take the shortcuts. But we should not judge them too hastily. They may change their minds later. A little more education in favor of education is now in order. We can all help a bit by talking about the advantages of this provision of the G.I, billof rights to the G.1s we know. Of course a lot of our pretty theories fail to work because old human nature is so cussed inconsistent. A good many people do not appreciate free gifts. They value those things for which they have to struggle. Money and worldly success, for example. Education is on the free list. Maybe that's one reason why so many boys and girls under-
osity when it should be stimulated.
