Manhattan Scene: Billy Rose and
A l|6rt«on Downey in earnest confab
in the Cub Room. . . . The mighty
mahout would like to star the svelte
Celt in:the new “concert variety”
show he is putting together. ... He’s
offered Downey five times as much
as he paid him only six years ago
when the Irishman’s pipes warbled
and whistled, “Yours for a Song,”
the theme song of Rose’s Aquacade
at the World’s Fair. . . . Downey,
who’s been rediscovered on the air
waves and as a result, is paying
about 90 per cent of His income to
the government, politely refuses
even though he avers, “it isn’t fair
to Morgenthau.” ... Jane Pickens
looking very Greek goddessy in
daring sandals that lace around her
ankles, at the Versailles. . . . Glam
orous Gertrude Nieson rocking Le
Ruban Bleu to its very foundations
by showing up in black nylon stock
ings. . . . Stately Irene Rich,
swathed in precious mink, getting
admiring glances at the 1-2-3—it’s
great to be Rich!

Side Glances: Vera Zorina, the
glamour girl of “The Tempest,” is
making up for the childhood years
of study that ballet took from her.'
She is deep in text books ranging
from the history of philosophy to
the theories of acting by the great
theater people of bygone days. . . 1
Kate-Ellen Murtah, wackiest one-
third of the Murtah Sisters trio,
Is serious enough about her paint-!
ing. Whenever she is in town she
attends long-hair life classes under
the psuedonym of Katherine Mar-
tell. . . . Helena Bliss, the “Song of
Norway diva, has not touched a
60-cent piece^ in more than four
years—since *the day when, after
she had taken four of them in
change, she sprained her ankle, lost
a valuable brooch, parted from her
boy friend of the time and caught a
cold. She got rid of the coins hur
riedly and since then, has insisted
on taking her change in smaller de
nominations.

Faces k Places: Grace Hartman
tripping — but literally — into The

with the doorstep. . . . Jean Mur
tah very incognito at La Martinique
even without dark glasses — she has
dyed her naturally ash-blonde hair
brown. . . . A1 Moritz, rising young
tunesmith, giving the wide-eyed
and wide - eared spectators at
Lindy’s a whistling review of the
score of “Blue Holiday,” the Ethel
Waters-Josh White revue formerly
titled "The Wishing Tree.” Inciden
tally, it was one of Moritz* tunes
that suggested the new name for the
show. ... Up to the minute Arlene
Francis, hep to the headlines, wear
ing a corsage of tiny clustered
United Nations flags at the Stork.
. . . Leo G. Carroll, who is usually
placid and unruffled, hurrying fran
tically through an early dinner at
Bradley’s so that he may make his
curtain at the Lyceum theater on

Shortie Coats, Gabardine
Suits Take Her Fancy.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Comes soon the big moment when
a college girl’s fancy turns seriously
to thoughts of her fall wardrobe-to-
be. She will find the stage all set
in the college clothes section for her
arrival, with just the fashion# she
likes best.
Her first burst of enthusiasm will
be called fbrth at sight of the smart
coats and the classic casual dresses
that impress her because of their
smooth styling and general air of
distinction. The new wing sleeves,
the rounded shoulders, the whittled
waistlines with their drawstring
strategy give her a thrill. She
chooses for her autumn coat that
college-girl favorite, a beige fleece
model in the new “shortie” length
with its belted-in waistline and its
dramatic winged sleeves, all of
which makes it look “different.”
Her suit? Well, it's a toss up be
tween a perfectly stunning plaid
wool collarless jacket suit and a
most ladylike looking suit in browm
wool gabardine (with the new wing
sleeves, of course). Or she may
choose a suit of a wool stripe in the
new capucine brown and yellowish
beige. She is wishing she could buy
t|Jl three.
The moment she cdsts her eye on
the new jumper frocks she feels the
urge to possess more than one. She
marvels at their suave lines. She
jots down in her notebook “for cam
pus and casual wear a gray flannel
jumper frock worn over a red jer
sey blouse, for informal dates a ruf
fled pinafore-type jumper of vel
veteen in black or a lush deep tone.”
For- practical wear she decides on
a coat sweater in a neutral tone
and then adds a turtle-necked black
jersey sweater which she will doll
up with a gold leather belt and
gold bracelets for informal evening
wear.
For her first fall hat Miss Col
legiate is charmed with the idea of
a bulky felt beret, mounted on a
hand-knitted headband.
Being practical, the college miss
likes the idea of wearing her smart
black shantung suit, her beloved
pastel gingham evening gown, and
her pretty black cotton eyelet dance
frock in the early warm autumn
days. So she is going to pack them
in her trunk and take them with her,
as they might come in handy during
most of the first semester.
In her blouse collection Miss Co-ed
plans on ineluding several bow-tie
types and a stunning blouse she saw
while scouting about, made of
striped jersey in gay multi-colors.

TRAVEL — Home
A man and wife who are neighbors
of mine told me that they have only
j
been away from their home for one
, night since they were married 30
• *
years ago. And they are one of the
(happiest couples I know.
It may not be that this lack ofj
i change is the secret of their great
satisfaction with life, but it certainly,
'hasn’t interfered.
It is a natural desire of all of us
ito see n£w places. This couple want
ed to too in their younger days. But!
;when they got married they bought
; a smoll farm which they have been
• operating ever since, and they just
have never been able to figure out
how they can pack up and leave it.
| The animals must be fed and there
are always a thousand and one things
which need doing. Some people)
might be able to let things slide for
a few days, but they’re not that type.!
i They admit that they used to long
to go away for vacations but don’t
even think about it any more. The
lone night they did try it the bull got
out and caused a lot of trouble in the
' neighborhood. That was sort of a
turning point in their lives. Without
mentioning it to one another they
both agreed from-then on that un

rest of their dives.

EDL'CATION—Health
Teachers have always insisted that
travel is an almost essential ingredi
ent of education. Doctors often pre-;
scribe a "change of scene” when they
can’t seem to restore health by any
[other prescription. And travel agents,
,in their advertising, try to make us
believe that we are missing most
all of the fun of life if we don’t take
! a trip once in a while—preferably a!
'long one.
All of these travel enthusiasts;
| would probably be horrified, or at
least highly amuse^l, by anyone hav-|
ing the effrontery tp argue that they
may be wrong. And I admit it may
,be a form of creeping mental paraly
sis on my part to hold that view— ;
but during the short period in which!
i there has been a ban on travel I
have found it a more and more en
joyable restriction.
Before the war, I used to spend a
! number of weeks, or at least week
ends, away from home. To me it was!
a change which I thought I needed
and which I seemed to enjoy. Even
then I remember the pleasant feel-1
ing which I experienced each time
I returned home but now I know the
even greater satisfaction which can
come from not going away. I have
found that the grass is greener in my
own back yard than it is most places,
the comfort ’is greater in my own
home than in most summer resorts
and it is a decided relief to let the
family suitcases sit idly gathering
dust instead 01 jamming them Tull of)
j clothes and lugging them off to some
“haven of rest.”

Fashion is more accessory-con
scious than ever.
And again it's checks and stripes
for smart fall suits.
For feminine enchantment, wear
a cover-girl snood. The snood of
black jersey is made glamorous
with pearl-studded gold stars, sprin
kled all over the black background.
It’s something worth while to in
clude in the back-to-school wardrobe
to wear on gala occasion.
An extensive collection «f hand
bags is being shown for fail, made
of bright colored alligator. The bags
are lined in leather that matches
the outside coloring. Red is com
ing to the fore', running & close sec
ond to brown. These bags are as
serviceable as they are good look
ing. Some of them containing as
many as five separate inner com
partments and also an outside one
that snaps to the bag. You can also
get these bags in green or navy to
match costumes.
MOHAMMED—Future
As ior sight-seeing—in this creep
ing paralysis stage of life which I
seem to be approaching I find myself
leaning more and more toward Mo
hammed’s idea of having a mountain
brought to him. And in this day and
age, with movies showing us what
all foreign places look like, with
newspaper pictures showing us more
details and with television getting
ready to drop the world into our liv
ing rooms, Mohammed’s idea seems
to be becoming a more and more
practical one.
On the other hand, while perfect
ed systems of communication are
bringing distant places closer and
closer to us, improvements in trans
portation will soon make it increas
ingly easy for us to go to those dis
tant places. Soon, therefore, we will
have the competing tetmptations of
taking fast trips to places we have
never been able to reach in a limited
time before, or of staying home and
having those places brought to us.
There is no doubt that travel will
grow in leaps and bounds in the fu
ture, but I am still inclined to believe
that too much travel will breed dis
content. The people who stay home
a good part of the time—who keep
themselves fairly securely anchored
to one place—are apt to lead a more
satisfying life than the restless souls
who will always be seeking some
thing new.

of 14.2 eggs per bird for the demon-

The Future of Pulpwood in
SOUTH CAROLINA
• One result of the war has been to’
make the people of this state more
conscious than ever before of the<
great asset we have in our pulpwood 1
resources.
Now that complete victory has,
( been won, the new usefulness of
pulpwood will result in increased
peacetime consumption of paper,
rayon, plastics and many other prod
ucts of pulpwood. Part of our vast
forest heritage, pulpwood —a basic
'American industry—will continue to
serve the nation in peace, as it did
in war.
»
Make the Most of this Asset
Intelligent cutting of pulpwood pays
big dividends. By adequate planting
and selective cutting even a small
kfarm woodland can yield a valuable
‘crop of pulpwood periodically. It
<is a crop which needs only a little
care and can be harvested at any
convenient time. It is another cash
crop. Consult your nearest district
forester or county agent.
