However, the more we think of it, what with beauty-parlo- r magic and fashion necromancy that per-forms miracles these days in creat-ing youthful dress, we begin to have our doubts as to whether the "frank-ly forty" (with emphasis on "frank-ly") idea fits into the modern scheme of things. However, being forty even though not "frankly" so has lost its terrors for modern women so far as the dress problem is concerned, for the problem that confronted the "for-ties," likewise the forties-plus- , in the past is really not a problem at all in these modern times thanks to style creators who have become in-creasingly alert to the call for fash-ions for women that give the young look, yet not so obviously young as to overstep the bounds of good taste. Subtly and artfully, contemporary designers are handling this ques-tion of dress that will accent youth-ful charm at the same time that it erases traces of birthdays that count to forty and past. You can even go to specialized dress departments nowadays, take your saleswoman into confidence, and under her ex-pert guidance be turned out in new apparel that is age defying. Note the attractive gown in the inset to the right in the picture. "Last call for dinner" and madame, enjoying summer travels, steps into the diner smartly clad in a pert black and white silk wheat print dress looking delightsomely youth-ful. Shirring animates the puffed top of the sleeves and it is shirring that achieves a soft draped ef-fect in the bodice. The green shoe-string belt interprets chic to the nth degree. Worn with a rough white straw hat and white bag the outfit becomes definitely appropriate and charming for restaurant or country club wear. For city roofs or dinner at home mother, noted for her discriminating taste in dress, wears a gray silk chiffon dinner gown with elbow length puffed sleeves and high shirred bust line as shown centered in the picture. White flowers with a delicate tracery of wine are caught at the base of the V neckline. For country club dining or a gath-ering of her sorority club mem-bers, or for an evening of enter-tainment a multi-colore- d silk print with slightly flared skirt, topped with a long bolero jacket with pushed-u- three-quarte- r sleeves as illustrated to the left should prove a perfect choice. The advantage of this modish gown is that removing the bolero the dress is transformed into a formal for more sumptuous occasion. Fall fashion trends give promise of very elegant fabrics that tune to the call of the mode that comes from the "frankly forty" group. Silk faille bengaline, moire, stiff taffetas and stately brocades are fashion firsts on the list and they are being rnade up simply and exquisitely as becomes a lady of dignity and poise. The new bustle frocks are prov-ing interesting too, tG the "frankly forty" woman. While the old time bustle effects may have been the inspiration for present styling yet the modern versions are modified and artfully interpreted via grace-ful butterfly bows and drapes and other skillful manipulations.

"Another Molly Pitcher" HELLO, EVERYBODY: soul-stirrin- g tali- - of a bravo little mother who was deathly afraid of guns, but afraid of nothing at all when corporation hirelings tried to rab a pieeo of her home, is the Battle of Monmouth all over again. You remember, or do you, how in that important oni'ae.e-me- nt at Freehold, N. J., away back on June 28, 17711. Molly Pitcher took the place of her husband, John C. Hays, an artil-leryman, after he was wounded, and served his gun, thus preventing its capture by the British. That's a yarn that every red-blood- American gets a kick out of every time he reads it! It is mighty comforting, I want to tell you, to know there ore Molly Pitchers in every generation, stepping forward fearlessly to take the places of their men when necessary. Just such a woman is today's distinguished adventurer. Meet Mrs. John Doolin, of Lemont, 111., who did a good job at writing her story, one that makes you feel all warm and proud of our womanhood. They call women the weaker sex. O yeah? Just put their backs to the wall. If you want the proof, read how Mrs. Doolin, single-hande- whipped a rather high-handed corporation that seemed to be trying to put over a fast one. Not long after a railroad came through the village of l emont, where the Doiilins had their home, there were a number of acci-dents on a sharp curve dose to the Doolin property. The com-pany wanted to straighten the line by putting It across the Doolin yard. Surveyors staked out the new right of way; workers appeared and began digging. John Doolin ordered them oft. Then he took the first train to Chicago and there consulted his good friend, Attorney Alexander Sullivan. Actions of Company Held Illegal by Attorney. Mr. Sullivan told him the company had no right to put its line on Doolin property without permission. But, he continued (and here's the catch), if the company succeeded in erecting the poles and stringing Her finger was on the trigger and she was all set to pull It. the power wire, the only thing Doolin could do would be to go to court. John Doolin didn't have any money to pay for long years of litigation so he beat it for home, resolved to keep the company off his premises. There, sticking up in the lawn, was a nice new pole that had been put up while he was in the city. John sawed the pole half way through. Then he borrowed a rifle and ammunition from a neighbor. A few days later, on a bright June morning in 1903. a policeman appeared with a warrant charging John Doolin with destroying public property. John marched away with the law, leaving three children cry-ing, a wife on the verge of it. No sooner was John Doolin out of sight than a crew of workmen swarmed on the place and began digging so furiously you would think they were being paid a dollar a shovelfull. Was little Mrs. Doolin going to let them get away with it? Up to the attic she hurried. There, she shivered at the very sight of a firearm, she took from th wall a shotgun that had hung undisturbed for many years. With her children clinging to her and crying again, she opened the window shutters, and rested the ancient fowling piece on the sill. Then, In a cold fury, she called down to the working men: "Throw down your tools or I'll shoot!" They stopped working and began to kid her. Foreman Orders Men to Take Gun From Her. Then one bully, who appeared to be the foreman, ordered: "Come on, guys, let's go up and take it away from her." Mrs. Doolin leaned a iittle farther out of the window and lifted the rusty shotgun. "The first man who takes a step toward my house gets shot," she called. "Now all of you drop your tools or I'll start shooting." And boys and girls, Mrs. Doolin meant exactly what she said. She was a determined mother, protecting her home and babies in the absence of her husband. Of course, she thought the gun wasn't loaded, but her finger was on the trigger and she was all set to pnll it if any one of those men made a move In the di-rection of the house. But their tools went down. The workmen sensed this was real drama, not a comedy, and they became sober. One spoke up to say the company had sent them there to rush up a couple of poles. Plucky Mrs. Doolin then explained to them that they were on her property, that the company had not asked per-mission to use it nor offered to pay for it. Well, sir, when those men got the low down on the proposi-tion they took off their hats and cheered. "You win, lady, you're a game guy." they told her. "We aren't doing any more digging until you get a square deal." With that they picked up their tools and went to town. Mrs. Doolin had won her battle, but would the men be back tomorrow? Would the company have her arrested for threatening its workmen? And what had become of her husband? Officials Refuse to Prosecute Doolin. Pondering these questions, Mrs. Doolin went to the door and was overjoyed to see her husband coming up the walk. He hadn't been in jail at all. The policeman had taken him before a Justice of the peace, but no one in the courtroom was willing to prosecute him. He thought he understood why he had been taken away would when Mrs. Doolin told him the on a charge no one press men had been back. But when she told him how she had pointed the shotgun at them and really Intended to pull the trigger, he felt a little faint. For that old gun was loaded! Well, there was one thing about the corporation, it always knew when it was licked. The very next morning the worries of the Doolin family were over. Right after breakfast two suave lawyers called to say how sorry they were it had happened. There had been a mistake. The company was willing to pay a good price for the land. And they paid, right on the line, thanks to the little woman who didn't know when she was licked. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

Hungary's first secret ballot in nearly 20 years resulting in a strong government majority as well as increased Nazi representation in parliament calls attention to a na-tion which has seen three opposing forms of government in little more than two decades. Revolution immediately after the World war changed Hungary from a monarchy into a republic. This was followed soon after, in 1919, by the establishment of a Soviet state, which gave way, in 1920, before counter-revolutio- n which brought back the status of monarchy.

Honoring Veterans The custom of firing three volleys over the grave of a deceased vet-eran is derived from the old Roman custom of casting earth over the cof-fin, calling the dead by name three times and then saying "Vale" three times.
