PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNTJ Service.) XTEW YORK. — Simultaneously, Chancellor Hitler and Mme. Elsa Schiaparelli renounce gold and extol the fruits of the spirit. Prepar- Schiaparelli Says | n 0 g f r^n™ Cost Fetters Our soon, the fa- Art of Creation mo “ s d ^ s , s ' maker finds that Americans are too much given to money-grubbing to appreciate the beautiful art of couture. “The Paris designer is free,” she says, but here in America “in creating a costume you must think about cost.” So she’s going back to Paris where art' is unfettered and nobody worries about money. Molyneux fled, to make gowns in London, but Lucien Lelong, the new Judge Landis of the French fash ion industry, remains in the service of art—not money of course. The latter implication might suggest that Paris as a continuing world style center is somehow geared into Chancellor Hitlers jug - handled economy, and that, of course is a rather gauche idea. In Herr Hitler’s new order, it’s art for art’s sake. Soon after the occupation of Paris, Mme. Schiaparelli ar rived here to begin a national lecture tour. We seemed to be suffering from much misappre hension about France. It was business as usual in Paris, and anyone who fancied that New York might become the world < style center had another thought ; coming. However, she reserved her apostrophe of art against money for the last. - Addressing the v Junior League of Los Angeles recently, she said:/ “All of us in Paris are impressed by the generosity of American men regarding their women. American men have a world-wide reputation for the money they spend on women. “I say bravo to you! Go right ahead.” I had an idea that the French felt that way a few years ago when I was • privileged to see some of the inner workings of Lanvin’s estab lishment in Paris, to talk to the vendeuses and witness the defer ence to a Texas oil magnate, when he earner in to help his wife choose a gov^n. , Mme. Schiaparelli lived five years in New York. Her daughter, Ma- risa, was born in her Ninth street house in Greenwich Village. That was befdre the days of her fame and opulence, and" she thought about money a great deal in those days. Taking an unheated flat in Patchin place, a dingy little nub bin of a street off Jefferson Mar ket court, she found a $20 bill on the floor. It was a good omen. Other money came and she returned to a garret in Par is, to write poetry. A sweater design brought her into her ca reer. For one who scorns mon ey she is a masterful and dili gent business woman, her huge establishment turning out around 10,000 garments a year at prices up to $5,000. Of a distinguished Italian family of astronomers and scholars, she has been de scribed by Edna Le Fevre as “a woman nobody can know, ab sorbed with books on metaphys ics, aesthetics and philosophy.” rLMAN B.

Without benefit of any ac ademic seminars, he became a hay loft radio inventor. This, incidental ly, was in the Bronx where there weren’t any haylofts; but make it a cellar and the result is the same. After 32 years he appears with his critically important inven tion. He got * job with a wire less station in Sacramento, and was soon throwing his voice far ther than anybody else in those parts. He later worked with Lee De Forrest and by 1932 had brought through a “cold light” radio tube. He started work on his jet expulsion or “rocket” motor four years ago. Engi neers say it may increase the speed of fighting planes by 20€ miles an hour. Power for Defense The newest and best of the U. S. medium bombers is B-26, shown here taking off (above), and in the air (below), during a test flight at Baltimore, Md. Product of the Glenn L.

It wasn’t exactly a wedding bouquet, since the reception was what might be called delayed. Their elopement startled prac tically everybody; the general opin ion had been that their romance was one of those things that are cooked up for the sake of sweet publicity. It’s reported that even the studio was surprised. You can see the honeymooning couple in “Too Many Girls.” These publicity stunts—“angles” is the name for them—are the bane of a press agent’s life. For exam ple, if a movie star is arriving in New York it’s up to her press agent to think up something that will sound reasonable enough to land the story of her coming, with photographs, on the front pages of the newspapers. Sometimes the stories are true, of course—but it’s usually the syn thetic ones that get the most space. When Linda Darnell arrived in New York recently she got a fine press reception. She announced to reporters that she was allergic to Pattern No. Z9051 'T'lNY red-figured print for the flowers and plain green for set ting naturally suggested the Poin- settia name of this new quilt.
