G RANTED that mother and big sis
ter are looking too chic and
charming for words this spring, in
their new spic and span stylish tail-
lenrs or their bolero costumes, if not
a redingote outfit that contrasts print
with plain, to which there has been
added accessories utterly feminine and
aednctive as accessories must be that
would go high-style this season.
However, we are not saying that
oegniahly attired adults are the whole
shew, not when a bevy of stylishly
arrayed youngsters join the procession.
Then does competltlofT become keen
and it is the tiny tots in their new
spring outfits that will be getting
the big appianse, we venture to day,
he their eiders ever so begullingly
garbed. Which they should for chil
drens fashions are as cunning and
fcrtrlgalng as fancy dare picture this
season.
As a fashion “first” for spring it is
the little coat-and-hat ensemble that
is taking precedent at the Immediate
moment. It adds zest to the mode
that children’s coats are unusually ver
satile this season in the matter of
styling. Then, too, a particularly
wide choice of materials is offered.
Tweeds In delectable colorings, cam
el's hair weaves, navy twills, novelty
wool plaids and serge are all-important
in the list of juvenile coatings.
Close attention is being paid to tai
loring and styling, with the English
trend dominating. Inverted pleats,
crisp collars, velvet pipings as well
as insets in tailored collars are high
style details to consider. Most impor
tant to remember is that fashion de
crees that every wee coat or suit Is
to be companioned by a matching hat.
While grown-ups are going In for
daring color to the limit, high colors
are not so much in the children’s wear
picture. As a matter of fact, it is the
Medium tones that are most generally
in use this Season. Pastels are also deti
nitely favored in aqua, dusty and
skipper blue In the order named. Many
all-white coats will be worn.
Full length coats are more popular
than the short Jackets, although the
ever beloved reefer type jacket of
navy flannel continues to hold Its own.
The trio of models pictured .were se
lected for illustration from among a
collection of little folk’s fashions dis
played at a preview style event re
cently held at the Merchandise Mart
in Chicago.
The clever little coat to the left Is
one of the new and very much ad
mired Princess Elizabeth types. It
carries that convincing air of distinc
tion such as every fashion-alert mother
covets for her child. Tweed in the
popular dusty rose shade fashions it.
Cunningingly flared lines, the dou
hie breast button fastening, and the
deftly tailored details of collar, cuffs
and pockets are all significant style
items. The collar of natural linen is
detachable.
The little girl walking hand-in-hand
so chummily with her companion has
on a very attractive long reefer coat in
navy blue. White metal buttons ami
a white hand-embroidered lingerie col
lar add chic finishing touches. The
perky matching hat is of clotii’identical
with that of the coat.
The adorable child in the foreground
has on a coat of skipper blue novelty
weave wool with the Princess Elizabeth
lines given to it such as are regarded
as exceedingly smart for the younger
set this spring. Her matching Scotch
cap repeats the trim of blue plaid silk
used on the coat.

MULTI-DUTY GARB
URGED FOR SPRING
There’s a lot of talk these days about
“basic wardrobe,” which is a good
Me* for the spring budgeteer.
The Idea is to select the spring suit,
«Mt and printed frocks in one color
thenset to be worn with interchange
able accessories. Suppose, for instance,
foa start with one of the smart new
■aa-taUored suits with black jacket
aad striped skirt With It, if you shop
wisely, you will get an extra skirt to
■atcb the jacket
Then you should choose a topcoat
la tailored style, also black, which may
he worn over the suit or with a printed
silk frock.
Tour printed silks should be bright,
gaj and simply made, so that you may,
wear various frilly lingerie accents
with them, changing their mood with
the jabot or collar you select. With
tkese for a foundation, you may achieve
endless variety by choice of contrast
ing accessories.

E VERYONE who sees Har
riet Hilliard in “Follow the
Fleet” or hears her sing on the
radio with Ozzie Nelson’s band
ought to meet her as well; she’s
decidedly w’orth meeting. To be
gin with, she is much prettier in
real life than In pictures. And to see
her as the demure music teacher who,
as Ginger Rogers’ sister, falls in love
with Randolph Scott, gives you no idea
whatever of what sort of girl she is.
She is magnetic, delightful, charming.
And she is oae of the few girls who
have had a career thrust upon them.
She never did want to go on the
stage, but she had to earn her living.
And when she was very young her
mother pointed out to her the fact that
it’s better to train for a profession that
pays well than for one that never will
bring In much money. “Better a dancer
at one hundred a week than a stenog
rapher at fifteen,” said Mama, or words
to that effect. So Harriet became a
dancer. She appeared at one of Broad
way’s big movie houses, and on the
road In musical shows. And she worked
so hard that, at nineteen, she had to
stop. .
“If you want to get ahead In Holly
wood nowadays, it’s better not to be
too good looking,” re
marked a fan maga
zine editor the other
day. She has been
meeting movie stars
for some fifteen years
now, and knows what
she is talking about
“Hepburn Isn’t beauti
ful,” said she. “Neith
er Is Doris Dudley,
RKO’S newest dis
covery. But they both
Katherine have talent Holly-
Hepburn wood is too full of
beauties who’ve been
signed up for a few months, and more
beauties who came out here hoping for
the best, and finished as waitresses.”
Will Hays, president of the Motion
Picture Producers and Distributors of
America (what a title!) has decided
that one week in May will be Memorial
week for Will Rogers; during that
week the Will Rogers Memorial at
Saranac Lake will be dedicated.
But Will Rogers did so many things
that will make people remember him
that he needs no other memorial. For
example, he put his old friend, Fred
Stone, Into pictures; Fred is now
established as a screen star, thanks to
his work in “Alice Adams” almost a
year ago. He also put another old
friend, Irvin Cobb, on the screen.
You’ve known of Cobb as a humorous
writer, of course. For years he has
been one of our most successful
authoss.

For a long time it has been Ruby
Keeler’s ambition to be a great woman
golfer; being a good actress and a
marvelous dancer meant little.
She’s been playing golf for some
time, and recently she went into the
Southern California women’s tourna
ment, won three matches, and was put
out In the last round. Looks as if she
might achieve that ambition after all.

Did you hear the recent broadcast
of Paul Whiteman’s birthday celebra

IS
‘Federal Triangle” in Washington.
Prepared by the National Geographic Society.
Washington. D. C.—WNU Service.
T HE annual spring rush of tour
ists to Washington is on. In
the Nation’s Capital even the
perennial visitor is greeted with
something new to enjoy. This year
new buildings, recently opened, in and
near the great triangle between the
Capitol and the Ellipse, will be a fea
ture of a tour of the city.
Gaze down upon the modern Wash
ington from an airplane. As always,
the simple grandeur of the White
House, the Capitol, the Lincoln Me
morial, and the towering Washington
monument draw the eye and make the
heart beat faster. But near them new
wonders have appeared.
Quietly and steadily, with so little
fuss that residents were hardly aware
of it, thousands of carloads of stone
and metal—whole mountains In the
aggregate—have been hauled into the
city and reared Into monumental build
ings.
Acres and acres of old, unsightly
structures have been razed on Capitol
Hill, around Its base, and along broad,
historic Pennsylvania avenue. In their
place stretch parks, $ide boulevards,
or long, handsome houses of govern
ment.
In the angle formed by the Intersec
tion of Pennsylvania avenue and the
new Constitution avenue, beautiful
Champs-Elysees or Rue de Rivoli of
Washington, rises a mighty wedge of
masonry, the famed “Federal Tri
angle,” eight blocks long.
i. this single group is the most
amazing collection of government
buildings that the world has seen.
They make their own weather. In
hottest summer the air inside Is cooled
to the temperature of a fine spring
day.
Beneath the roofs of this Triangle
work nearly 20,000 governaent em
ployees, about as many as the entire
population of Batavia, N. Y, or Day
tona Beach. Fla. Every d»y dozens
of people get lost in its 20 miles of
corridors.
Massive and Beautiful.
In sheer size the cluster of buildings
Is staggering, even from high above.
It is as if half a dozen or more of
New York’s tallest skyscrapers have
been laid on their sides, formed into
a l)luuted arrowhead, and cut and twist
ed to make courts and wings. One
unit—the Commerce department—is
longer than the Chrysler* building is
tail.
But It Is not merely aa Impression
of bigness that one has in the wan
dering plane. Long ranks of ma
jestic columns, graceful arcades, a
wide plaza, and solid rock walls give
a beauty and simplicity that make
these enormous newcomers fit com
panions for the classic White House
and Capitol.
The airplane turns, and far off in
the distance, beyond the Capitol dome,
appears a gleaming white marble tem
ple, comparable in beanty even to the
noble Lincoln Memorial. This is the
new United States Supreme Court
building, the only real home of its own
that the nation’s highest court has
had.
For the first time in American his
tory a citizen now might gaze upon
the separate, permanent abodes of the
three branches of his government—
legislative, the Capitol; executive, the
White House, and now, for the judi
cial, long sheltered in the old senate
chamber, this temple whose dignity
and impressiveness match the majesty
of the law itself.
Suspended in History.
As you cruise about, other splendid
white buildings appear, new jewels in
the familiar setting along the Poto-
maCj
Beyond the Lincoln shrine the new
Arlington Memorial bridge links north
and south. Down the Virginia shore
of the winding river a wide Appian
way, the Mount Vernon Memorial high
way leads to the home and tomb of
the Father of his Country.
From the steps of the Capitol all the
way down to the river, two and a third
miles away, sweeps a broad stretch
of tree-dotted park land. Gone is
much of the mushroom growth ot tem
porary wartime structures. Their re
moval gives new beauty to this Mall,
main feature of the grand plan con
ceived by the Revolutionary soldier-
artist, Maj. Pierre Charles L’Enfant,
when he laid out this city with broad,
sweeping, prophetic strokes to be the
capital of a vast country.
Hanging between earth and sky, you
•eem suspended in history, halfway
between the past and the unfathom
able future. Hovr would the city look
a hundred years tyence, or twenty, or h
thousand?*- v
The Senate Office building, off there
at the left, has had Its face lifted—
and a handsome face it now is, with a
long row of Roman Doric columns.
A street car line that once marred the
scene dips discreetly underground. Be
neath a broad lawn is a subterranean
garage in which 270 senatorial cars
can be parked.
Supreme Court Building.
But to look upon the latest crowning
glory of Capitol hill one should stand
on the front steps of the Capitol,
where Presidents are inaugurated, and
see the new Supreme Court building,
Its beauty heightened by the green of
trees and grass.
It occupies a historic site. Early
patriots in powdered wigs forgath
ered at a famous old hotel run by
William Tunnicliff on this spot before
the War of 1812. After the British
burned the Capitol in 1814, a building
erected here housed congress until the
marks of the torch were erased. In
Civil war times it was used as a
military prison.
Everything about the Supreme court’s
home Is on a majestic scale.
Look at those blocks of marble, one
at each side of the steps. Each block
weighs 45 tons. They are two of the
heaviest marble blocks ever brought
into Washington. \
The two bronze doors weigh 3,000
pounds apiece. The eight Corinthian
columns are 51% feet, high. The pedi
ment above them catches the eye, noi
alone for Its size, but for Its Interest
ing sculptures in which the features
of historic or living men are recog
nized.
Inside the massive bronze portals a
main hall lined with 36 stately col
umns—each made from one solid piece
of stone—leads to the courtroom where
the nine black-robed justices sit. At
their own request, the room was made
only about 60 per cent larger in floor
area than the old Supreme court room
in the Capitol.
Behind the courtroom are the quar-
tered-oak-paneled offices of the justices,
each of whom will have about as much
space as all had together in the crowd
ed Capitol. Only three had offices
there at all, and most of the members
of the court do much of their work at
home. To assure the justices privacy,
the new building’s corridors can be
closed by big bronze gates.
Wonderful Libraries.
In the Folger Shakespeare library,
down the street, reposes a fine collec
tion of books and Elizabethan treas
ures, even the supposed corset of
Queen Elizabeth, solemnly stowed
aw’ay In a vault and shown only to a
chosen few.
Behind the Library of Congress an
annex almost to double its capacity is
being built, although already it is the
largest library in the world, with more
than 9,840,000 books, pamphlets, pieces
of music, and other items at the latest
count.
Down from Capitol hill, past a shin
ing new House Office building lately
reared beside the first one, the trail
of the new Washington leads ta Penn
sylvania avenue.
In some of its now vanished build
ings—masses of rubble and ruined
w T alls then—the first bricks flew in the
“bonus army” riots of 1932.
Halfway along “The Avenue," be
tween the Capitol and White House,
there stretched off to the left in the
early days of the city a dreary swamp
where Washingtonians were wont to
shoot “reedbirds."
Later the swamp was filled In, and
the old Center Market, dubbed the
Marsh or “Ma’sh” Market, was erect
ed there. Five years ago, the ram
shackle market buildings still occu
pied the spot, and thousands of rats
inhabited the premises which had long
been a cornucopia for them.
An energetic government hit upon
this location as a key point in its
building program. Here would rest
the tip of the Federal Triangle. Wreck
ing operations began. Scientific Pied
Pipers from the Agricultural depart
ment disposed of the rats, which at
first devoured the workmen’s lunches.
On this unlikely site now stands a
structure In many ways unique—the
National Archives building.
Here for the first time Is a worthy,
safe, and permanent home for the pre
cious records of the nation, some
scrawled in faded ink on yellowed
paper by early patriot hands, others
punched out on modern typewriters,
or even contained in sound motion-pic
ture films which will be preserved and
shown here.
