The colors in a rock col-lection, gray, yellow, green and rust, were chosen for their con-trast in a handwoven fabric of rayon. The design is deliberate-ly kept simple as the best means of playing up the beauty of the fabric and the contrast-ing colors. Interwoven threads of lurex give a scintillating life to the colors. ; WOMAN'S WORLD I Stain Removal Kit at Home Is Economical By Slimming Panels Ertta Haley HOW MUCH do you know JUST removing stains?

KATHLEEN NORRIS Woman's Genius Is for Living her dry, or the book that exhausts her physically as well as mentally, or the great statue that steeps her in plaster dust for years. No, her masterpiece is the living thing. The clean and happy chil-dren about the supper table. The tired man, rested and content at the end of the day, among those who love him. The delicious seven-poun- d bundle that her hands are the first to touch is her poetry. The acid little wail of the new born is her music, or the sound of the chil-dren shouting in a Saturday back-yard. Her marble is touched by her own lips as she stoops over the coffin of some loved old companion who has gone home. This sounds perhaps like the flip-pant answer of an offended woman to a critic. But I do not mean it so. I mean it as a sin-cere tribute to the name of woman. It is my profound and sorrowful belief that this quality in women this content with the fact rather than any interpretation of the fact, this putting first the pictures and the music, the statues and plays take second place, might have had a profound effect upon our whole world history had it been sooner recognized. lOT LONG AGO I said in one of " these articles that an im-portant element In a successful marriage was the quality all good wives have, the quality of appar-ently accepting what is presented them by the different members of the family, apparently agreeing to it, and then gradually and gently breaking it down. This process is entirely familiar to all intelligent women. It is dimly visualized by some men, but not clearly. That the little woman, without crossing them or starting a row, does somehow manage to keep things going with a maximum of happiness for all concerned, is all they want to know. Men's way is to do, a thing at once, do it twice over if necessary, hammer and nail it down. And then they show an innocent surprise, and have been showing it for hun-dreds of years, that somehow it all come unstuck. Some years ago a national maga-zine asked me to answer a provoca-tive article by Albert Wiggam. The article was entitled "Where Are the .Women Geniuses?" and it con-tended, and truly, that there aren't any. No Real Genius No, no woman has ever written a great literary classic, a play, an opera, a symphony. Rosa Bonheur, Sappho, Chaminade, Jane Austen and George Eliot usually are rushed to the fore when this ques-tion is raised, but having sampled or seen the works of all of them, I am obliged to agree with Profes-sor Wiggam. Perhaps Miss Austen comes closest to genius, but it in one 01 nis timely poems aoout a great politician, whose unselfish action in one of our social crises cost him high political power, the American poet Vachel Lindsay said; "sleep on, oh eagle forgot-ten, who kindled the flame. Far better to live in mankind than to live in a name." There is, ulti-mately, the finest reason for being. That is a woman's genius and her opportunity. To live forever in the continental betterment of man-kind. t ii t - . . . show an innocent surprise . . . would be a bold typewriter that dared place her works beside those of Dante, Goethe, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens or the great com-pany of the Russians. Of Sappho I know nothing, and I don't think the people who cite her as a genius do, either. "Pride and Prejudice" I d last year. It's a fine tense story, but musty in its household morals as genius never becomes musty, stiff in its language. It's a book in which the lives of several helpless, love - hungry, marriage - awaiting girls are described, but what the Bennetts wore, or wanted to wear, what they ate at any single meal, or what furnished any one of their 'rooms, Miss Austen does not deign to say. They don't take walks or raise flowers or read books or get jobs; they languish about suffering at every slight from indifferent and godlike males, and are thrown into ecstasies at every smile. But yet it's good reading. I recommend it Different Interpretation What I said in my countering article in defense of women was this. That men's interpretation of the word "genius" ought to be en-tirely different from that of women. Unfortunately it isn't. Unfortunate-ly we have followed like sheep their proud designation of their fellow-me- n as geniuses, when half of them nine-tenth- s of them aren't geniuses at all. Genius lives. Most of the "geniuses" of my childhood are as forgotten as the roses of yes-teryear. The genius of women goes far deeper than that of men, and "real geniuses are almost as rare. But while the man wants the imitation, the copy, the superfluous thing that is art, woman wants the real thing.

THE READER'S COURTROOM I Hit by Fire Escape, Wins Suit . By Will Bernard, LL.B. May a Pedestrian Collect Damages if Bumped By- - a Fire Escape? At the end of a movie matinee, several of the patrons in the balcony decided to make their exit by way of the fire escape. They stepped out onto the platform and the drop lad-der swung slowly down to the street. The end of the ladder struck an un-suspecting woman passerby, knock-ing her down. When she later sued the theater for damages, the proprie- - May a Husband Annul A Marriage After 28 Years? A husband went to court for an annulment, 28 years after his wed-ding. He claimed he had just found out that at the time of the marriage ceremony his bride was already the common-la- wife of another man! To make the story still more remarkable, he alleged that the other man was no one else but his own brother! However, the court refused to grant an annulment. The judge said he didn't believe it May a Wife Get an Annulment Because Her Husband Doesn't Have a College Degree? After several years of married life, a wife went to court for an annulment on the grounds of fraud. She told the jury: Before the wed-ding, her husband-to-b- e said he had a medical degree and was planning to apply for a license to practice. But afterward he kept postponing the application, and finally ad-mitted that he had never finished ET tor insisted that he was not respon-sible for the misbehavior of the pat-rons. However, he admitted that cus-tomers often had used this same exit in the past. For this reason the court held him liable, saying that it was up to the theater manage-ment to take reasonable precautions against such a dangerous practice. May a Father be Jailed for Spanking His Child too Hard? Missing a piece from his pocket, a father concluded that his son was the thief. He gave the boy a terrible beating and left him locked in an attic room, his hands tied together. For two days the child was kept that way, fed only on bread and water. At last his cries attracted a neigh-bor and the boy was rescued by police. Arrested for assault and bat-tery, the father was held guilty by the court his medical studies. The court, however, decided this deception wasn't bad enough basis for an an-nulment. He compared the wife's situation to that of a bride who discovers that her bridegroom's teeth are false or a bridegroom who discovers that his bride's blonde hair is dyed. In all these cases, said the judge, the deception is not serious enough to justify, an annulment Ex-- GI Likes Baby-Sittin-g Says Job Can Be Happy Avocation ALFRED, N. Y.

And for his fellow baby-tende-the Alfred university undergraduate has a few sugges-tions to increase the efficiency of their work. The job, he maintains, "can be pleasant and profitable if the parents cooperate." "I always smoke my pipe when I go to a home," he said, "because I have heard that a g man gives a woman confidence. "Also, when I get to the house, I always ask about the crmaren s health to reassure her and to find out whether I will have a pleas-ant evening," he said. Upon arriving at the home, the Fanwood, N. J., political-scienc- e major sits down with his pipe, glasses, and textbook and "looks intelligent."
