THIS WEEK
To Store Food in Mine*
President s Good Idea
No Criticism for Germany
Japan's Many llahics
While the President talks peace
for all the Americas, England,
locked in her
smal 1 island,
separated by nar
row water from
European hatred,
realizes that it
would be hard to
keep out of a big
war. She might,
some day, move
her imperial
headquar ters
from London to
Montreal or Que
b e c, as the
French govern
Arthur Brisbane ment once moved
from Paris to
Bordeaux, and the Spanish govern
ment recently from Madrid to Val
encia.
England wonders what her peo
ple would eat if war should be
forced upon her, with enemy sub
marines and airplanes sinking her
food ships. She is not self-support
ing, and her newly organized “food
plans department" will try to store
away enough food to last at least
a year. As a "cache” for the food,
England is using worked-out coal
mines, of which many, going down
thousands of feet, should be safe
from bombardment.
The President's trip to South Am
erica proves to have been a most
useful idea. Great crowds welcomed
him in his brief stop at Rio de
Janeiro, as he drove through the
streets with the Brazilian President
Getulio Vargas, bands playing "The
Star-Spangled Banner."
The President will talk peace and
business, at least as much busi
ness as peace, and he will make
friends for us all in South America.
You may count that day rare on
which Chancellor Hitler’s govern
ment does nothing new und queer.
Dramatic criticism and literary crit
icisms are now forbidden in Ger
many. Constructive criticism is of
greatest value to actors and writers;
the intelligent among them are
grateful for it.
The Ruler of the universe was
his own critic, "and God saw every
thing that He had made, and, be
hold. it was very good." All need
criticism, the powerful need it more
than others, and Hitler will have
it when history is written. His min
ister of propaganda cannot control
that.
Tokyo reports for Japan the
world’s highest birth rate; 2,180,
703 new Japanese babies arrived in
1935, more than in 1934 by 148,931.
Japanese marriages are increas
ing, divorces decreasing; the latter
down to less than one in 1,000 mar
riages. Japanese husbands and
wives get along better than Ameri
cans do.
The great contract bridge com
petition ends and the Harold Van
derbilt cup goes to four players
called the Kaplan team: PhilAbram
sohn, Fred Kaplan, Horry Fishbein
and Irving Epstein. Mr. Vanderbilt,
on hand to present his cup, might
telephone Chancellor Hitler that you
do not have to be an '‘Aryan” to
understand bridge.
Business is picking up and that
includes marriage, most important.
Chicago university says 750.000 few
er weddings have taken place dur
ing the six depression years than
would have occurred in normal
times. Hence the loss of about one
million new American babies that
would have been born. Seven hun
dred and fifty thousand young
couples have missed, among them,
more than three million years of
marriage bliss.
The tide turned in 1935 with 1,327,
000 marriages, highest total in our
history.
■ 1 •
Mr. Green’s and Mr. Lewis’ union
labor organizations indicate that
their differences may be settled,
which is good news. Organized labor
should present a united front against
too-short pay and long hours.
The prosperity of the nation de
pends on how much the workers
have to spend.
China says she will risk war with
Japan rather than let Japan take
more of her territory. If that war
comes it will illustrate the differ
ence between a country prepared,
Japan, and one unprepared and dis
organized, China.
Japan’s unspoken answer to Chi
na’s war threat is her birth rate.
Those millions of new babies must
go somewhere.

Warm Jacket-Coats for Winter
Bv CHERFE NICHOLAS
A ND now it is the “winter girl"
** that leads the grand march in
the style parade. In her giddily gay
wool plaids, her Tyrolean-inspired
knitted togs and her sturdy Nor
wegian worsteds and knits what a
picture she makes midst scenes of
snow and ice and gray burdened
skys!
What with gorgeously colorful
Scotch wool plaids almost stamped
ing the vogue and what with the
Tyrolean influence going that strong
all's needed is a range or so of
snow-clad Alps in the distance to
make the scene complete.
Important news in regard to
clothes designed to fortify against
the rigors of winter is the enthu
siasm shown for fancy, sometimes
quite fantastic, short jackets and
hiplength coats also wool shirts
(call 'em shortwnists if you insist)
that contrast monotone skirts, cu
lottes or plus four trousers—the
latter a favorite type with the ski
and skate devotee.
Let winds howl and icicles form
in endless chain, it’s immune you
will be to their devastating chill if
clad in a sturdy coat for all out
doors as shown to the left in the
picture. Here is a coat in the new
er short length that performs a
three-act-in-one of being gay, be
ing "comfy" and high-style on ev
ery count. It is made of a rough
and-ready old-town wool plaid in
warm deep color tones—just the
sort of plaid weaves everybody’s
calling for this seuson.
Have you heard of the new plaid
wool shirts that are showing up so
vaingloriously in college-girl ward
robes? Not only are these plaid
shirts rating ace-high in classroom
and campus environs but for office
and general everyday practical
wear the shirt of enchanting plaid
wool is everything it should be. See
the perfectly tailored specimen of
a modish plaid shirt in the illus
tration. As here shown it is worn
with dark green beautifully fitted
men’s wear flannel culottes.
The intriguing thing about the
newer handknit fashions is that they
are stylized to the nth degree and
many interesting new and fanci
ful stitches are being introduced. A
perfectly charming innovation is
the employment of embroidery done
in vivid Tyrolean color schemes in
connection with not only knitted
cardigans and sweaters but pert
boxy hiplength jackets made of
felt or cloth trimmed with gay ap
plique felt flowers and colorful bind
ings and amusing buttons.
That the newest style trends are
being Incorporated in hand-knitted
fashions is a fact evidenced in the
cunning waist-length jacket pic
tured on the figure seated. See the
full-at-top sleeves that give the
very important wide shoulder lines.
If you are wanting to know, it re
quires about ten balls of feather
down yarn to knit this jacket which
is done in a simple lacy pattern.
One ball of Limerick green Shet
land floss trims it. Make this jack
et Tyrolean, if you will, by em
broidering gay little yarn flowers
here and there. Bright colored but
tons add yet another note of inter
est.

PETIT POINT BAGS
llv C1IKKIB NICHOLAS
With the winter season of gran
diose social functions coming on,
visions of lovely evening bags be
gin to stir the imagination. To wom
en of discriminating taste a bag of
exquisite petit point speaks most
eloquently when it comes to giv
ing the desired dramatization to
the costume. The very lovely and
distinctive bags here pictured are
creations by Madame Jolles of Vi
enna. The sophisticr ted cape of
regal black Lyon velvet shown at
the top makes a perfect setting for
the charming petit point bag done
in brilliant colors and marvelously
intricate design. Below in the pic
ture the subtle Edwardian mood of
the patrician quilted satin coat is
enhanced with a glamorous petit
point bag of unusual shape and
vivid floral design, distinguished
by a new handle, recalling a grace
ful arc. This winsome bag is as
youthful as is the simply cut wrap
that so unmistakably bears the
stamp of aristocracy.
VELVET HAS PROVED
SMARTEST MATERIAL
Velvet has proved to be the
smartest material of the year. It
is shown in numerous varieties _
velveteen, panne, lame, shaved to
a Mat, stubby surface or printed
into a striped or plaid design. Black,
as is always the case in Paris, is
the favorite, although various
shades of green, rod and brown
are almost as popular.
The new velvets are used for se
verely tailored suits to be worn un- ;
der fur capes as well as for dressy
cocktail suits worn with rich lame
blouses. Velveteen is used for
street dresses worn under fur- I
trimmed cloth coats as well as jack
et suits worn with plaid woolen
blouses.
Right-Sized Heel Factor
of Importance in Dress
To the woman who regards good
dressing as an art. the right heel
is as important as the right jewels
or gloves.
If she aims to look tall ano queen
ly in her evening gown, towering
heels are an indispensable part of
the picture. If her mood is coquet
tish and her gown inspired by an
ancient Greek robe, heel-less or flat
heeled sandals provide the proper
foot note.
Heels covered with vivid fabrics
or encrusted with jewels add a
sparkling touch to her formal eve
ning ensembles. Many of her most
striking costumes owe their success
to the harmony between her heels
and her hair ornament, handker
chief, or corsage. As costume ac
cessories heels are becoming more
and more significant.
Tulle Instead of Satin
A wedding dress made entirely
of tulle, like the ballet dress por
trayed by Degas, the French paint
er. was worn recently in New York
by an internatinally known bride
The full skirt swept the floor and
stood out in true ballet fashion. The
veil worn was very short, like a
confirmation veil.
Very, Very Cold

STANDFORD G BROWN dictated
with half closed eyes: ‘‘Her
beauty was colder and purer than
the snowy landscape. Chiseled as
in marble, her features were given
warmth by a pair of richly blue
eyes in which burned the embers
of a fire. Clifton longed to stir it
into a flame that would melt ...”
Little-Bit fofiicially titled Mary
McCarthy) lifted the pencil from
her shorthand notebook and
frowned. "Stan! I thought . .
“Yes?” He opened his eyes.
“Well, I thought you’d find a new
type of heroine for this story—one
with some life. You've used this
chiseled female for every yam
you've written lately.”
"H'ram. She’s so—so perfect, I
don’t see any use in changing her,”
he protested. If I could meet a
woman with her cold, classical love
liness—I’d marry her!”
Little-Bit bent over the notebook
again. ‘‘Go on.”
‘‘The Seventh Cockatoo” with, or
in spite of, its marble heroine, be
came a best seller—Stan’s first suc
cessful novel. He became, in con
sequence, a local celebrity, attended
a tea party in Milwaukee, and was
introduced to this cold heroine in
the flesh. Three weeks later, in the
musty drawing room of the Van
Guise home, he rounded oft his im
passioned courtship and was ac
cepted by Lisbeth Van Guise.
Lisbeth began to make him over
according to her own specifications.
Or. her initial visit to Stan’s rooms,
she looked only once at Little-Bit’s
brown eyes and red lips.
“These rooms are terrible,” she
said then, indicating the shabby
furniture.
“I'll move,” Stan said promptly.
"And you really need an efficient
secretary. A man, perhaps.”
Three months later, Stan was
thinking of Little-Bit as he gazed
up at the tall, exclusive apartment
building into which he had moved.
For long weeks he had lived in
the apartment with a mahogany
desk, and there wasn’t a line writ
ten on the second novel Lisbeth in
sisted he finish before their mar
riage. Something about the new
place gave him the fan-tods.
A snowdrift tempted his unwary
foot, burying it up to the ankle,
Unwarrantably angered by the mis
hap, he halted and was considering
kicking the snowdrift when—wham!
— a snowball caught him behind
the left ear, knocking off his hat.
Turning quickly, he glared at the
small boy who was vanishing
around the corner. A matter of sec
onds later, with two snowballs ready
made, he had taken up a stance.
The psychology of small boys al
ways dictated their getting a second
look at their victims and when this
boy appeared . . .
Stan’s arm shot forward. Before
the icy missive struck, he rec
ognized his error. It was a girl, not
a boy, coming around the corner—
and not just a girl either. It was
Lisbeth Van Guise!
He ran toward her with shouted
apologies. Brushing the sncw from
her face, she silently refused his
proffered handkerchief.
“I’m sorry! I didn't mean it for
you. A kid threw one ...”
“A stupid, vulgar trick!” She
closed her vanity. “We won't dis
cuss it further. The doorman told
me where to find you. I've brought
you your new secretary.”
“Oh—Snockleberry! IT* give him
a try and ...”
“Please, Standford. Don’t call
Monsieur Roque de Barrie —
Snockleberry. After all. h* is a gen
tleman even if he does need a posi
tion.”
Stan felt himself growing stub
born. 'T’ve got a job,” he said.
"I’m not offering a position. I need
somebody to work like — Little
Bit.”
‘ Monsieur de Barrie cannot be
classed with your—Little-Bit. He is
a man of culture, widely traveled,
a linguist: He will be able to polish
your writings into the finest prose.”
Stan thrust his hands into his coat
pockets. “You tell Snockleberry the
job is taken. I don’t need him. I'm
going to get Little-Bit back—if
she’ll come.”
“In that case,” Lisbeth's eyes
were calculatingly cold, "you don't
need me.”
‘‘No! Take a tip from me: You
can rope some men in with your
cold, cold beauty but if you don't
warm up, you can’t keep ’em. You
Twenty minutes later Stan was
established in the middle of Little
Bit’s one room apartment, waving
his arms at her. She was listening,
seated before her typewriter, and
refusing to return to his employ.
"YouTl find another live replica
of your iceberg heroine in a couple
of weeks—and I’ll be out on my ear
again. Nothing doing. You need a
man secretary.”
He put a pencil into her hand
and a notebook from his pocket.
“Take dictation, please. Her warm
brown eyes shone with eagerness;
her soft lips, red and sweetly yield
ing, met his in a kiss of surrender.
“Yes, I’ll marry you,” she whis
pered . .
Little-Bit held up her arms. "You
mean ‘ "Gimme more,’ ” she whis
pered!
Spinach Cup Cake
Take four cups of flour and put
them in one cup • • • and add
three spoons. Then stir until stiff,
and when you’re too stiff to stir,
then you know you’re stiff. Then
rub in a little liniment. But, of
course, it won’t make the cake
taste any better. Get some burnt
almonds, but don’t use them. Use
eggs. Take six eggs * • • and
if you haven’t got any eggs, then
only use five. Then separate the
yellows from the yolks, then get
your spinach and separate the
sand from the spinach, but save
the sand. Then you roll it into
little balls. When it’s finished, it
looks like hamburger * • • it
tastes like spinach, but when you
open it up it’s cup cake.

What with all the excitement of the Christmas season our artist has found it rather hard to keep away from
the toy department. Of course, he goes there purely in the interest of the kiddies, and not Tor his own amuse
ment, he claims. The excitement seems to have gone to his head, however, as we notice several bad mistakes.
For example, the word "hosiery” is misspelled. Can you find 15 other mistakes? The answers are given above.
