Spending Youth
Youth is not like a new
garment, which we can keep fresh
and fair by wearing sparingly.
Youth, while we have it, we must
wear daily, and it will fast wear

Don't Try to “Save” on Home
Remedies—Ask Your Doctor
There is one point, on which prac

Don’t give your child unknown remedies

All mothers know this. Bat some
times the instinct to save a few
pennies by buying “something just
as good** overcomes caution.
When it comes to the widely used
children’s remedy — “milk of mag

a century have said “PHILLIPS.**
For Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia is the
standard of the world. Safe for chil

T HE biggest sensation of the
year in motion pictures is
the success of Ritz Brothers,
those three wild-eyed comics
who rush into “On the Avenue”
like a tornado and break up the
show. They work with such
whirlwind speed that in a stunt
lasting only three to five min
utes on the screen, they use up
more genuinely comic material
than most comedians develop
in a lifetime. So, having made
three pictures in their first five
months on the screen, the boys
have gone off to Miami.
Expert dancers rave about the
Ritz Brothers’ dancing; singers are
sure that they must have had op
eratic training; actors suspect that
they played in stock for years to
develop the lightning-like flash of
their line delivery. But according
to Harry Ritz himself—he’s the
hardest working one in all their
sketches—they have never had a
dancing or singing or elocution les
son in their lives.

For days Joan Bennett had all of
her friends in a perfect fever of ex

made up her mihd

York for a stage en
gagement. Back in

was going to with
draw from the cast
of “Stage Door,” be
cause she is going
to play a mother
role in real life
soon. The producer
thought it would be a grand idea to
get Joan to take over her part. She
was quite interested, and Walter
Wanger, to whom she is under con
tract, said he was willing to. let her
go. But that wily Walter Wanger
showed Joan the costume sketches
for “Vogues of 1937” and that set
tled it.

Arthur Tracy, the Street Singer so
long popular on the radio, has been
up to, you’ll soon see for yourselves.
In “Backstage,” a picture he re

opposite Anna Neagle, the Gau-

Clark Gable, who thinks that Rob

and Robert Taylor who thinks that
Clark Gable is tops, have persuaded
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to let them

There is a serious shortage of
beautiful chorus girls in Hollywood
right now, because all the studios
are making big musicals. Girls who
could not even get a few days extra
work while the studios were all busy
on dramatic pictures, are now sign
ing ten-week contracts calling for
as much as $200 a week. Samuel
Goldwyn's chief complaint about the
beautiful girls who come to Holly
wood seeking work is that they in
variably try to look like some popu
lar star, instead of being beautiful
in their own way. The one sure
way not to get an engagement in
one of his pictures is to have some
one tell him that you look just like

It’s Capes and Fur Trims for Spring
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
A TREMENDOUS
season for suits is
the foreword from all
style sources. If the
man-tailored classic
type tunes to your in
dividuality, wear it.
for it has an accredited high-style
standing among current suit modes.
However, in making your selection
show that you are thoroughly fash
ion-informed by choosing a neutral
color, for neutrals with flashy, bi
zarre accessories is an all-impor
tant message for spring. In your
quest for a fashion-first suit or en
semble it is well, too, to remember
that navy is staging a spectacu
lar comeback, with emphasis on
tailored navy twills.
It is. however, the “something
different” urge that has taken pos
session of designers that is furnish
ing high-mark excitement in the
suit realm. In creating the new
models imagination is let play to
the limit in the way of color, weave,
silhouette and detail. The versa
tile expression given to softly styled
suits and tailored cloth ensembles
is amazing.
In this new movement to get
away from the strictly mannish
versions, capes and fur trims were
the two brands that stood out pre
eminently at the fashion previews
recently presented by the style cre
ators of Chicago of the wholesale
audiences of stylists and merchants
who had gathered from the coun
try over to see “what’s new” for
spring and summer. The models
pictured were selected as being es
pecially representative of what to
expect in the way of suit and en
semble futures.
The model to the right is signifi
cant in more ways than one. This
very beautiful cape costume fea
tures the idea of a one-piece dress
topped with a modish cape. It is
in lightweight wool in the new
Dache blue. Unusual blues are the
rage and this model emphasizes
that fact in that the fur on the
cape is fox, dyed in a delectable
azure blue—which conveys a most
important style message namely,
that of furs dyed to match the cloth
they trim. This cape will prove a
joy to its owner for time to come
as it will function meut voguishly
as a separate wrap. The dress
has a skirt built up to a V in front
with a belt only in the back. The
bodice is enhanced by a heavily
embroidered lattice-work yoke.
The two-piece cape costume cen
tered in the trio is done in navy
blue wool with white inlay at cen
ter front of dress trimmed with
navy bone buttons. The belt is
navy kid. The very new and smart
cape has military shoulders. The
imported wool fashioning it com
bines navy and white. In regard
to the new shaggy wools that are
making a fascinating play on color
there is much to be said. The lat
est move is to fashion capes of
these intriguing novelty wools col
laring them with flattering fur (fox
is favorite) or making them up sans
fur. The idea is to wear a cape
over your tailored two-piece suit.
Tucked sheer makes another
cape costume as shown to the left
in the illustration. This two-piece
is very dressy and lovely for
spring. The sheer is in mist gray.
The one-piece dress has the new
high neck trimmed in violet red
with spaghetti bow. The belt is
also trimmed in violet red. The
cape has military shoulders with
tuxedo bordering of fox in the
same shade as the costume. Note
that this stunning young girl wears
her beret back on the head in an
swer to fashion’s latest decree. The
charm about the furs that trim
the new suits and ensembles is
that they are so subtle in tone
and tint they tune harmoniously
to thoughts of spring.

OF KNITTED FABRIC
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Here is just such a type of dress
as every well dressed young wom
an should include in her spring
wardrobe. It is in itself an insur
ance policy guaranteeing a smart
and genteel appearance no matter
when and where in a day’s activi
ties, be it in the class-room, the of
fice, commuting back and forth on
the shoppers’ special, going about
town or taking a morning consti
tutional on the avenue.
FLOWERS ARE WORN
ON EVERY COSTUME
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Flowers are bigger and brighter
than for many seasons, explained
by the demand for large gay prints
in dresses. Field flowers and pop
pies represent the new trend per
fectly.
Generally speaking the variety
represented is excellent, including
many unusual flowers, such as clo
vers, daisies, black-eyed susans, ap
ple bossoms, tulips, cowslips and
zinnias.
Camelias are scheduled for a big
vogue because of the recent pro
duction of “Camille” by Greta Gar
bo.
Straw flower boutonnieres and
fruits are slated for a good season
since suits are expected to top the
market.
Up-or-Down Necklines and
Wool Favored for Spring
Wool is the star fabric for spring
—very, very sheer. Sports dresses
of sheer wool printed in large
plaids or sporty designs look soft
and positively cool. Both black
and navy jacket dresses in wool
are smart for street wear, and the
bolero dress will be very impor
tant. Paris designers feature it be
cause they feel it gives the waist
the most flattering line possible.
Up-or-down necklines are coming
in—a real boon for the woman who
can’t make up her mind. Ruffled
jabot collars are designed to be
worn low and open, or hooked to
gether high at the throat. Print
frocks are frequently finished at the
neck with a bow-trimmed slide
fastener, which can be left up or
down according to one’s mood.
Tulles for Evening
Tulle is the pet of the young girls
for evening, especially when a
dance floor beckons. Delicate pas
tels and white were most often
chosen.
“Keep A-Goin’ ”—
Persistence in Efforts Likely to
Bring About Fulfillment of Ambition
D ERHAPS it is my fondness for
* violets that made me stand and
watch him. Anyway, there he was,
with a wonderful basket of scented
loveliness, tempting the home
ward-going throng on a Saturday
afternoon.
“Violets, violets, lovely violets.
Quarter a bunch. Lovely violets.”
Like an unending song, his husky
voice cried his wares, and during
the ten minutes that I stood near
him on the pavement, watching
and listening, he kept up his cry.
Unable to resist the temptation,
I bought a bunch, and even as he
served me, he punctuated the deal
with: “Violets, all fresh and love
ly ”
Persistence Counts.
I remarked, as I waited for my
change, that he had a large basket
to dispose of.
“Yes,” he said, “that’s right,
gov’nor. But they’ll all go. (’Ere
you are, sir, lovely violets, all
fresh.) Only you ’as to keep a-go-
in’. Everybody’s in a hurry to get
’ome, and if you ain’t persistent—
(yes, lady, smaller bunches four-
pence)—you don’t sell ’arf as
many. ’Ere you are, sir, your
change. Thank you very much.
Violets, lovely violets. All fresh!”
I walked away with my purple
bunch—and a lesson in my mind.
“Keep a-goin’.” What a motto!
It reminded me of a little jingle
that is oft quoted by a rolling-
stone friend of mine, who brought
it back from the West of Canada,
where he first heard it. It goes like
this:
If it rains or If it snows.
If it’s calm or if it blows,
What’ll happen no one knows.
So keep a-goin’.
A Motto for Many.
A well-known athlete once told
me that he had won many a sec-

He who puts his best foot for

getting there with both feet.
There is always a right way to
settle our problems, but most of
our troubles are caused by trying
to avoid that way.
Where the Praise Belongs
A self-made man never ceases
to praise his maker.
A strict mother often makes an
indulgent grandmother.
People miss a great deal of
wickedness by not being at all
interested in it.
Anyone who doesn’t like his job
will stretch a holiday into three.
Building Is the Task
It is easier for a man to be the
architect of his own future than
the builder of it.
Don’t annoyingly assert your
rights if it is a matter of no great
moment.
We love “The Star-Spangled
Banner” because we can’t get too
familiar with it. It is too hard to
sing for that.
ond and third prize by simply
keeping on. Dogged does it. Even
when he realized that he couldn’t
beat the winner, he set his mind
on being in the first three, and go#
there.
Keep a-goin’ is a motto not only
for rolling stones and athletes and
violet-sellers. It is a motto for
housewives who are faced with a
tiring washing-day, for families
who are faced with no very bril
liant outlook for the future, for
those who are apt to lie down un
der the weight of present troubles.
Nothing stands still. Things ei
ther get better or worse, and they
are far more likely to get better
if we persist in our efforts to
make them so.
Take heart. This year, England
is to crown a new king. This
year, too, we may crown some
individual ambition with fulfil
