Reading Lends Effect Or Even Am usemen t By JOEY CIIRYSTATiIj Sometime's you may wish you were curled up with a good hook when someone saw you, to produce an effect of some kind of intelligence, or rinyway, an EFFECT. We have a list here of some books, some of which we have read, more of which we have not which you might like to use, while waiting for this effect to he produced. If you've ever read any of H. S. C.’s poems on the front page of the Journal, you might like to look ar a collection of them, illustratedwith drawings by the author, Harry Rilleck Crannatt. The title of the hook, also of the first poem in it, is “The Pied Typer of Shrdln Etaoin,” inspired the odd combin ations of letters sometimes col lected by the men who run the type machines. Thurher Draws, Too Another volume illustrated with drawings by the author is “The Male Animal,” the play by James Thurber and Elliott Nugent. An interesting thing about these drawings is that Thurber actually used them to help direct the play. The Chinese philosopher, Lin Yu tang, has now written a novel about his countrymen. “Moment in Peking” deals with the conflict be tween the older generation's ad herence to the customs of their an cestors and the young people’s adoption of new standards and ideals for living. A good example of an Ameri can career woman is Clare Boothe. Interest in her has been especial ly notable since the publication of her account of “Europe in the Spring.” We have read articles about her lately which would like to insinuate that perhaps she does n't write her own stuff. It would be interesting to read her plays: “Margin for Error,” "The Women,” and “Kiss the Boys Goodbye,” muttering to yourself all the while “But did Clare Boothe REALLY write this?” Fashion Is Spinach Another career woman in print is Elizabeth Hawes. The head of a large designing and dressmaking establishment, Miss Hawes has put many of her experiences in “Fash ion Is Spinach.” This work has a new slant on fashion in that it dares to hint that perhaps fashion does not have to be the power in the retail market that it is. And if you have to wait really a long time for your audience to appear, you might consider leafing through “Gone With the Wind." Tt seems to have kept some people amused for some time. Of course, your statement, “I have read ‘Gone With etc.,” should not be expect ed to produce the effect it would have in a former time.

In the Perspective If you've been wondering where in town you can find a “smooth" beige jacket, go to Beards. The material is a lovely soft light weight wool in a chev ron weave, and the beige is a good “mixing'' shade. The same style fitted jacket comes in all of the light pastels and p'aids. . , 7.95. Just A Hint It’s important to keep a fresh complexion when you meet people all day, and at Tif funy-Duvis is a grand silk strip ed bag complete with all of the essential Dorothy Gray cosmet ics, to keep you looking grand all day. The bags include a pancake makeup with sponge, a cream rouge, powder, and a cold cream for $1,00. The ma terial is in different colors and makes a lovely purse for beach use. Worth Mentioning If your fing ers are nimble you'll want to start sew ing for spring and the best place to find materials is at the Broadway where they have a new stock of seersucker, deminity, crepes, chambreys, and spring woolens. Prices for cotton material is from 23 to 49c; spun rayons— 39 to 98c; and spring woolens—■ 1.59 to 2.95 per yard See some today. By PAT ERICKSON Books, books, books, aren’t they lovely thing's? This week's wom en's page would like to think so. For instance there is a lot of lit tle known knowledge (thank heav en) about dieting in a clever lit tle volume called “1060 And All That,” by Sellar and Yeatman (Blue Ribbon Books, Inc., $1). “Take the Typical Case of Tan gerines. The really valuable part is the skin,” say the authors, “and, of course, the silver paper; while most beneficial of all is, perhaps, the splendid natural ungranulated crate itself. And yet there are thousands of people who quite cas ually hack off all this invaluable casing and throw it away!” “Most people go through life eating the wrong food. The effect is disastrous: imperceptibly, igno miniously, but inevitably, they be come the wrong people.” Woman Has Much to I .earn “Woman, too, has much to learn: for instance, she must ... be pre pared, like the insects, to exter minate the husband the moment he begins to drone. It is the only way.” You might also like the recipes these authors offer. And you might not. Here's a sample: “Banana Surprise” "Take one sweet, black, over ripe banana. Make a slit in the outer tubing. Out the banana. Stuff with cotton wool, sew up tightly and serve, scar downwards. HEAR . . .

The Male Box t By BUCK BCCHWACH (Woman's Page Correspondent) , Books. Dey is great tings. Books 1 is what ya git ejication from. That is the definition not given in Webster's but in the gangster's associated almanac, which lists . the public enemies in the order in which they are expected to be 1 bumped off, and a host of other such pertinent material. Collitch kids, that is University of Oregon students, have their own definition: “Books are those things in the j library what lie all term gather- , ing the choice kinds of dust, then ' just before final exam week are exhumed, flicked page by page, cussed at thoroughly for the'ir vagueness, and then thrown down with disgust.” You can’t win, they’re too complicated—they have words of two and even three syl lables. An experienced male can waft himself into the library, glance at a book the gal's reading, and im mediately know if he should try a little wooing that might lead up to a pin planting in the very near future—maybe in five or six months. If tne gars reaamg a mystery story, our hero knows immediate ly that the female is good at solv ing riddles, likes to figure out puz zles, and would be just the kind of a wife that would not go into his pockets when he comes home late at night. Instead she would confront him with a detailed report of his ac tivities, and demand the $32.50 he won in the poker game when he was supposed to be at the board of directors’ hearing. If, on the other hand, the gal is reading something very heavy like “How to Boss Your Family” or "What to Do When Your Hus band Comes Home Pickled,” he knows at once that she is just the right type of gal—for somebody else. Pretty girls with crossed legs (did you ever see a pretty girl without them crossed?) reading such light tomes as “Gone With the Wind” or “Anthony Adverse” are the favorites of the average male, however, and this is why. If a pretty girl can patiently wade through that much guff without being tempted to turn to the last chapter and find out the score right away, she’s tops. And besides, if she’s that patient, she no doubt could sit through an hour and a half alibi without get ting very angry—without tossing more than a year’s supply of china, anyhow . . . I NEW !
