In fact, a new aristocracy sprung into being; its mem bers were the people who had actually gone to the first b ro a d c a s t ( tic k e ts w ere scarcer than hen’s teeth), und they are still high-hatting their friends who couldn’t get in, and running perfectly good luncheons and dinner parties by insisting on telling about how cute Charlie is. "You simply have to see him to appreciate him ,” they declare, which is rather hard on the people who have never seen Charlie and probably won’t get a chance, as Edgar Hergen is too busy for per sonal appearances. Charlie’s kidnaping, one evening, by the amusement editor of one of the newspapers, very nearly stirred up a lot of trouble. The famous little man Is Insured for $2,500. Hergen was so worried that after Charlie’s reappearance he took to taking Charlie apart and hiding him in sections. -----* ---- Ann Sheridan has sort of crept into stardom by the back door, al though she deserves the promotion. I t ’s "Naughty but Nice” that stars her, and studio politics are involved. For this is Dick Powell’s last for H E N it come« to drawing the crowds it’s the blouse section« W that are doing it these days— most exciting blouse season known for years. The main reason for this stam pede in the blouse direction is that suits rank ace-high in importance this spring and as every woman and her sisters and her cousins and her aunts well know, the proper upkeep of a suit calls for one chic blouse after nnother. However, the fact that suits are “ tops” this season is not the only reuson for the mad rush blousewurd that is going on. I t ’s the blouses themselves that are the magnet that draws, from the standpoint of "style" color and m a terial they are simply not to be resisted. The interest displayed in sterling pure silk weaves for the blouse this season is especially significant. Sim ply tailored blouses like the one shown below to the right in the il lustration are indispensable with your tweeds. This model, a Lelong creation, is tailored of n heavy ex otic silk crepe in rich deep red. It has a tucked shirt front fastened with leather thongs that clasp into gilt "croquet wickets.” Collarless jacket suits frequently have the jacket lined in the same silk print (jacket is often reversi ble) as fashions the blouse. Dotted silks are the rage for this sort of styling. If it is something out of the ordinary you are wanting to fit into the scheme of things take note of the stunning "bib blouse” pictured to the left below. I t clas sifies under ingenue or schoolgirl type, which does not mean that it is restricted to teen-age wear, for it ’s the fashion to wear young look ing clothes this spring that belie age Cloque O rgandy ■ counted in years. The clever big effect is achieved via an insert of bold big dots contrasting the tiny- dot-print. The revival of the ornate dressy blouse reflects the influence of the gay nineties. Sea the model in the upper left corner of the picture. In creating this lady-type blouse for dinner or cocktail hours Lanvin al ternates bands of black silk geor gette and val lace finishing it off with highband neck and turnover collar. The revival of the white blouse with the dark suit is one of fash ion’s top-most highlights. The Gib son girl blouse pictured above to the right is in white silk organdy with lace-trimmed jabot coming high at the neck. The bishop sleeve with its lace-trimmcd frill at the wrists give this blouse the new look that is copied from the old. For the be-frilled and lace edged, tucked and finely hand-worked white blouse now so fashionable, thin silks such as silk organdy or silk triple sheers that will wash well and keep their whiteness are highly recom mended. Perhaps the biggest sensation in the present vogue is the white peas ant blouse with full-to-the-wrist long sleeves that gather into a tight band such as are worn with the very new gypsy skirts fashioned of vivid striped or plaid silk. For this blouse, designers use washable white silk chiffon or white silk organdy with gratifying results. In the color madness that has gripped the world of fashion blouses are playing a dram atic role. Surah silk is a great favorite, piinted or plain, stressing chartreuse, fuchsia, yellow gold, rust, violet, mustard and citrus colors. © W estern N ew spaper Union. Cottons Have New Roles This Spring Cottons have new roles in the cre ation of spring fashions. Pique and linen, for example, are used for white toques and sailors to wear with navy blue suits. These fabrics also are important for collar and cuff sets that are attached to dark evening dresses. Gloves also are being made of these washable m a terials. Gingham accents are equally as popular and unusual in their appli cation to newest costumes. Plaid gingham pipings appear as trim ming on navy blue reefer suits and also make matching blouses. New Hairdress Is Becoming Popular A multi-color floral print Swiss cloque organdy with a permanent crinkle that won’t come out in the wash makes this lovely and prac tical dress for a little girl. The round ruffled collar is of white or gandy inset and edged with val lace to match the lace edge finish of the puffed sleeves. The velvet rib bon sash is of soft blue to harmo nize with the deeper blue back ground of the print. There w ill be quartities of cloque printed organdy used during the coming months. * ÌRT * A new hairdress covers the entire head in flat curls that remind of a boyish bob. It is very youthful and is referred to as the "little g irl” hairdress. The high-do for hair is seen less io the daytim e but still persists for form al occasion. At the immediate moment h air worn page boy fashion is popular. A pleasing compromise is the arrangement that brings curls or puffs to the front in somewhat of a pompadour ef fect, with the almost shoulder-length end-curl bob at the back. A Town Bag for You One of the new handbags in rough straw braid is a navy town bag in plain rectangular shape with thick base, having a heavy gold chain around it near the top to simulate drawstrings.

Apparently Miss Hepburn still cherishes some affection for the screen; she has bought the film rights to the play and w ill do it herself before the cameras eventually. — * ----- Nowadays it seems that every body who can’t get a job feels that the answer to the unemployment problem is becoming an orchestra leader. Prize fighters, millionaires, tap-dancers, movie stars— all are more than willing to step in front of a band and wave a baton. But it’s a rare thing for a man who works with his hands to become an orchestra leader—Russ Morgan is about the only exception to the rule. H e’s an ex-eoal m iner, you know. He worked in the Nanticoke Mine, near Scranton, P a., until the fore man fired him for playing a trom bone in his spare tim e. The fore man happened to be his father. Today he is one of the top bracket orchestra leaders. Before he was twenty-one he had written arrange ments for such famous musical men as John Phillip Sousa and Victor Herbert. -----* ----- I f you’re considering writing for radio here’s something to remem ber. Due to the threat of federal censorship, radio stations are lean ing over backward in their efforts not to offend.

Houston Goudiss Explains How Food Can Make You Fat or Thin; O ffers Tips on Gaining W eight By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS " p O NEARLY every adult, weight is a m atter of great con- > cern. Thin people step on the scales in the hope of finding th»t they have gained a pound or two. Fat people sometimes weigh themselves several times a day, trusting each time that the arrow will point to a slightly lower figure. In many cases, the reason for this absorbing interest is vanity a desire to lo o k better. But the real objective should be to attain the weight at which one* fe el* better, for few people more tense, more active and of a realize that to weigh neither more nervous temperament. As a the passage of food through too much nor too little is one result, the digestive tract m ay be so rap of the best possible aids to id that it leaves the body before buoyant health. Moreover, the all the available nutrients can be secret of weight control for utilized. At the same tim e, these normal individuals lies in the active people tend to bum up more their food tor energy, so it is kind and a m o u n t of food con of not surprising that they fail to sumed. store body fat, unless the diet is The science of nutrition teaches us that ell body fat originates as surplus fuel . . . that is, food which has been consumed over and above the immediate require ments of the body machine. It there fore follows that in general the prob lem of gaining or losing weight is concerned with an ____ increase or reduc tion in the total fuel value of the diet. Shortage or Surplus of Fuel Those who find it difficult, after 30, to avoid taking on excess pounds must learn to reduce the total fuel intake. Otherwise, they may find themselves burdened with a mounting surplus of fat, which not only destroys beauty, but impairs health, and tends to decrease both mental and physi cal efficiency. On the other hand, those who feel that they must struggle to keep their weight up to normal . . . who declare that they simply cannot gain, no m at ter how much they eat, should acquaint themselves with the high-caloric foods and make a per sistent effort each day to eat a little more than enough to meet their needs. I f a gain is achieved, the result w ill be well worth the effort. For just as overweight is a handicap to health and efficien cy, so have nutritionists observed that physical efficiency m ay be definitely decreased when the weight falls more than 10 per cent below the average for one’s height. It is often said that it is easier to lose weight than to gain it, and in many eases this is true. For the overweight person who con sistently cuts down the fuel value of the diet, should, under normal circumstances, be able to reduce gradually, comfortably and effec tively. But the individual who is underweight often has a small ap petite and therefore has little de sire to eat the increased quanti ties of food that are required in order to gain. Influence of Body Build Nutritionists have observed that many people who find it difficult to gain have a tall, slender type of body build. I t has been deter mined that in people of this type, the digestive tract is usually short er than in those having a stocky build. Moreover, they tend to be especially planned to meet their needs. Concentrated Food» Deiirable The well balanced diet, with its full quota of minerals and vita mins is basic to good health for all. But in order to produce a gain in weight, the diet of indi viduals belonging to the slender type should be composed of easily digested foods, which can be uti lized by the body with a m inimum of effort; and it should include generous amounts of concentrated and highly nourishing foods. Included in this classification are eggs, cheese, cream, butter or m argarine, bacon, bread, cere als, cream soups, custards, ice cream, rice and tapioca puddings. The addition of two or three glasses of m ilk to the regu lar meals w ill be found useful in increasing the fuel value of the diet. M ilk also belongs in the reducing diet, but there it Is used to replace other high caloric foods. F ru it juices w ill be found useful in stimulating the appetite of those who desire to gain; and the fuel value of these beverages may be increased by the addition of m ilk or cream. An Extra Meal Very often it is possible to get extra nourishment into the diet by way of a light lunch in mi<h morning, mid-afternoon or both— provided it does not interfere with the appetite for the regular meals. This m ay take the form of fruit juice and crackers; malted m ilk; cocoa, tgg nog or plain m ilk. A between-meal snack is regarded as especially desirable for thin people whose work is fa tiguing. I t w ill help them to sus tain energy and prevent them from coming to their regular meals too tired to enjoy or profit by food. Importance of Rest Since thin people have a ten dency to tire quickly, they are ad vised to get plenty of rest. Thera should be long hours of sleep at night, and nutritionists have also observed that the food is apt to be better utilized if a short rest is taken before meals. 77PS«, (gardeners x a m Questions Answered M rs.

H oulton G oudiss— 1938—5ft " 1 —— Fertilizer Usage f ' ' ARD EN S can’t go on prcduc- ing excellent flowers and vegetables year after year without an application of fertilizer now and then. Because stable manure is difficult to obtain, a complete commercial fertilizer recommend ed by your dealer w ill prove most satisfactory. Before applying fer tilizer, however, give considera tion to a few simple, practical hints. First, be cautious! Never apply fertilizer recklessly or over-abun dantly. Don’t be like the man who saw a neighbor get good re sults from a sparing use of fe rti lizer. He proceeded to apply 10 times as much, but expecting 10 times as good results—but his gar den proved worthless. Broadcast the complete fertiliz er over the soil 10 days befbre planting, using about three pounds per square rod. Three or four weeks after planting, if the garden seems a bit backward, apply a side dressing. Sprinkle fertilizer lightly alongside the rows, about six inches from the plants; then cultivate. Apply only from one to two pounds per square rod of garden This climate is an OLD STORY to Ferry's DATED Seeds O nly those vegetable and flower varieties capable o f growing most productively in your locality aro offered in your dealer’s display o f Ferry’s Seeds.
