Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA. UTAH Be Smart! This is the classic dress style of the times. For the winter season you'll find it in sheer wools, dressweight gab-ardines and similar fabric that take to tailoring in a hand-some way. For the spring sea-son it is beginning to appear in moire, faille and similar fab-rics of silk and rayon, and in handsome linens. It's a wonder-fully flattering dress with its slim lines undisturbed by the deftly inserted fullness in deep inverted or accordian pleats. This style has a long fashion life ahead.

Maybe it isn't anything like this, but something intangible such as atmosphere or style? How do you go about getting it? Surprising though it may seem, many of these decorative problems are easily solved in many cases. It may 'involve changing a furni-ture of picture arrangement which requires no money, only knowledge. It may mean taking the trimmings off some of the furniture and a bit of refinishing which takes, not money, but "elbow work." It may mean constructing a shelf over a studio couch at very little cost. The first rjroblem is not one of Lv - - V, fJV ha ire a center of interest or focal point as this is sometimes ex-pressed. When a room does not have this, you feel restless in it because attention does not become drawn to one particularly pleasing aspect of the room and cannot set-tle. When the room has a fireplace, this gives a natural center of in-terest, and arrangements are built around this with chairs to either side of the fireplace and perhaps a table in the middle. You don't need a fireplace, how-ever. An Interesting arrangement of furniture which invites a group of people to sit down and talk com-fortably could serve just as well. In dens, hobby room and such, the center of interest might be a hobby collection, a knick-knac- k shelf, a wall with a large map, or some other distinctive feature which is interest catching. Where rooms have a lot of sun-light or a row of windows, these might be utilised for the focal point. Plants, glass collections, china or miniatures might be used on small shelves on the windows to center attention. how to do it, but one of what you have to do with. Look over the problem critically and think about the possibilities. See what the de-sired effect should be, and then it's much easier to go about getting It.

This would take care of the odd shapes and styles in which they so frequently come. When you're preparing pictures for a group arrangement, have them all conform in some way or another. Different types of birds go together just as do prints of flowers. Charcoal sketches might be used together as would photo-graphs of the family. All of these have something in common which would dictate their belonging to a certain group. Framing should suit the furnish-ing of the room. For modern use light or black woods, or even white. For period rooms, select framing that goes pleasantly with your furniture wood.

When you feel you lack imagina-tion, study good examples and soon you'll feel yourself becoming crea-tive. In this way you can achieve the style you want, and, at the same time, have a lot of fun. Simple practical tricks that you do with pictures or decoration add the atmosphere and individuality that make a room or a home yours. Carry them out with neatness and dispatch and you will have created something that gives you and any-one else real pleasure. Let Picture Arrangements Reflect Personality It's not necessary to rush out to buy expensive originals' if you like pictures in the home. People have been known to collect inexpensive prints or greeting cards that they like or which reflect a certain hob-by of theirs. Groupings of several of these over a couch, above a desk, or on some bare wall reflect the personality of the owner. Groups of pictures which go to-gether might be pasted on a wall near a deep window without frames of their own. Colored glue tape, to match some color in the drapes or in the room itself would serve to frame each of the pictures. ' Family portraits might all be with simple decorating tricks. the room in which they're used. The width of the frame depends upon the picture which is used. When selecting frames, try sev-eral different widths and woods against the picture to make the choice.

KATHLEEN NORRIS Breaking With Past Brings Woe '1vrY pROBLEM is that of m? husband's daughter," writes an Iowa woman. "But for Fay, everything in my life would be perfect. Van is truly, a kind, pa-tient, good and generous man, and we have a daughter, Amy, who is idolized by us both. Fay is 14, a tall, strong girl, who in the three years of our marriage has never been anything but diffi-cult; impudent, unmanageable, lazy, unhelpful, and lately show-ing a dangerous independence. If I ask her to open a door or answer the telephone, she says 'Oh, heck,' and moves so slowly that I usually get there before her. Cannot Trust Her "She has a brother of 10, a dar-ling boy, but the mother kept him she also has married again, and handed this girl over to me. Far from being any help, I have to pick up after her, and see that her clothes and her room are kept in some sort of order. We cannot trust her even to sit with Amy, if we wish to go out, for twice, on these occasions, she has gone off she says for a few minutes only, to see a friend. "What makes it especially hard for me," the letter goes on, "is that my husband is completely under Fay's thumb. She can tell him anything, and he only laughs and agrees. He constantly says to me that the poor kid never has had a break, which is nonsense. She has everything we have, and more clothes than I have. I have tried gentleness, tried to be patient, tried to advise; it is all no use. "It does seem hard to me that ences cut far deeper into our hearts into our whole spiritual and mental make-u- p than we know. Many an angry and per-haps justifiably angry and disil-lusioned woman imagines that just to be free of matrimonial ties, just not to have to argue with Bob ever again, would be heaven on earth. But the complications that arise often make the old bondage seem infinitely preferable to the new. In this particular case I would advise Suzanne to bide her time. Just to wait. Fay will be of a mar-riagab-age in a few years and will be off her hands. This isn't like the problem of a troublesome mother - in - law, a helpless old grandmother, an incurable invalid. Many women have those burdens to carry. Fay will either grow into useful womanhood, or she won't. Don't fret about it. If she leaves her room in a mess, let it stay that way. Put as much of the responsi-bility as you can on the indulgent father. Be an innocent bystander to their arguments. Shut your eyes to the fact that he permits her ex-travagances you wouldn't dream of, and shut your ears to impu-dence. Tolerance and amusement and a sweet-tempere-d refusal to accept any responsibility for Fay, once she has rejected your advice, will go much further than rigid anxiety and suspicion and criticism. In a few years she'll be out of the pic-ture and, meanwhile, since her own father and mother are the only ones really concerned, save your nerves in every way you can. . . ". . . she says, 'Oh, heck1 . . ." just this one thing, this one per-son, stands in the way of my com-plete happiness. Van and I loved each other for two years before either one would make the break of divorce. There was nothing shameful or secret about our af-fair. We considered it soberly; made our decision after long thought. "My husband and I had been liv-ing apart for some years. Van and his wife were utterly out of sym-pathy, and her subsequent mar-riage proves, I think, that she did not long consider herself injured. "Surely adults have the right to ad-just their lives to happier lines, hurting nobody, and winning for themselves a more balanced and wider outlook?" Suzanne demands pathetically in conclusion. Child Has Rights Too Well, Suzanne, perhaps they have. But you don't give the full picture here. You don't mention, in this summary of what intelligent adults have the right to do, that a little girl of 14 has her rights, too. Fay knew her mother preferred her brother to herself. She knows she is superfluous and unloved in her new home. You are not her mother, and your well-mea- scold-ings and reminders and demands fall upon a young, sensitive heart that already feels itself rejected by all her world except Dad. Divorce never solves half as many problems as there are prob-lems that follow divorce. There is simply no end to the difficulties that women get themselves into when they break with the past; the vows, the young love, the first homemaking, the first baby.

There are only two windows. We have thought of large Venetian blinds and also heavy drapes on a long rod. Do you have any other idea? I want to avoid expense and mess and dirt. ANSWER: It all depends on how much privacy you want. You would not get much privacy with a Venetian blind or draperies. I believe you would find it more practical to put up studding on which you can nail up a wallboard. For ventilation in the summer-time, you could have some of the panels movable, so that if desired, they can be taken out for better circulation of air. You may need to put in another window or two. HrMLPhIipr W MUGGSY, THE MOVIE CRITIC I JUST SEEN SAMSON and Hedy Delilah, which is the movie of the year in size, costumes, drama and peacock fans and I ache in every muscle. Now I know why Gargantua died down at Sarasota. He seen Victure Mature in a pre-view of this picture and he knew he was washed up. I never seen no movie which had more action or more peo-ple in it, except maybe a news-re- ' of the crowds in Times Square election night. Cecil le who done wonderful mob pictures years ago Is the same wizard and he has the hand that has not lost its touch, ex-cept maybe with lions. There is a hair - raising scene where Samson wrestles a lion with no rules of a state athletic com-mission to protect him, and he. kills the lion with his bare hands. The direction was a lit-tle bad. I got the idea Mature had the lion out a couple of times, but I guess there was a horn on the play the first time. The second time there was a illegal substitution. Anyhow a fight between a lion and a man is a five-sta- r special with me and as this one was in Technicolor it was like me being right in the ring with a waterbuck-et- . I was in the lion's corner on ac-count of I knew it was all fixed in the script so he had no chance and I got so excited I almost tossed in the towel, but the best Hollywood actor won and the lion had no busi-ness in the same ring with Mature and Hedy Lamarr anyhow. Just the same, if I was a lion and was matched with Mature I would of fought him different. I am not knocking Mature. What he does in this picture would make a piker out of even Bernarr MacFadden in his prime. In the Bible story, which Jesse Lasky, Jr. and Freddie Frank have fixed all over for the popcorn trade, Samson was a strong man who did wonders, but Mature makes them look easy and the close-up- s of muscles are extra good. There is a big switch in the De-lilah story. In the Bible story which is good enough for me, this dame is a combination of Mae West, Gravel Gertie and a Democratic reply to a Republican statement of pojicy. She is tough all the way, with no detours. This would not do in no Hollywood script, even on Bible authority. So Delilah is made a nice girl who had Samson's hair cut by mistake and reforms, quit-ting the haircut and shave field en-tirely and ending up nuts about him and his jawbone. I was afraid they would put a sweater on Delilah, but they did not. It was not necessary, I could tell it was Hedy all along. Still I am going a second time as it is a picture you don't see every day. It is worth the money just to see so many beards, suits of mail, spear bearers, peacock feathers, and muscles all in Technicolor. Also after Samson fights a lion, slays 1,000 Philistines and demol-ishes a temple, it is nice to have a stage show thrown in with nobody fighting and not a jawbone in the joint.

"If a guy who has tried to make a livin' playin' them gallop-ers all his life ain't in bad shape and an object for pity and first aid I dunno who is," he declares. "And don't tell me he ain't that way through hard work! The Shudda Haddim pension plan calls for pensions for horse players at 50. "He is really 65 when he is only 50," he explains. "I have known a lot of players who have been 65 before they was 40, in fact. Furthermore, if he gets $200 a month pension he is the only guy in the whole pension system who won't cost the government a dime, as he will give it all back.

Baby Sitters Influence Tots One Gave Ice Star First Urge to Skate MILWAUKEE, WIS. Be most careful when you choose your baby sitter. Your baby sitter , when you aren't looking may chart the course of life over which your child will travel, and she may, knowing-ly or unknowingly, influence the child to enter a business, profes-sion or trade that may not exactly fit into your plans. ' So says Phil Hiser, dean of skat-ers in "Holiday on Ice," who does the popular "Memory Lane" waltz with Jeanne Berman and spends the remainder of his time on the ice getting laughs out of the audi-ence with his comedy acts. "I know whereof I speak," says Phil. "It was a baby sitter who put me on skates when I was ZVi years old. I've been on skates ever since and I'm 41 now. "My father was on the road with the Frank Warren Minstrels. So I was left in the care of the Irish nursemaid, whose sole ambition was to skate and skate and skate. First she dragged me to the ice pond and hauled me around on a broom. Then she got me a pair of sled skates and it was not long be-fore she got hockey skates for me. I just had to skate. There was nothing I could do about it." Phil admits he became an addict and he and Bridget never missed an opportunity to indulge in their favorite sport. When he was H years old, Pittsfield, Mass. Phil's home town had a great celebra-tion because one of the local boys had won the national junior cham-pionship and another of the local boys had taken second place. "Our champions came home and there was a great celebration. So that the Pittsfield folks could see how fast these boys really were an exhibition was arranged and all of the best skaters in town were to race against them to be left far behind, of course. THE READER'S COURTROOM . p Loafing Worker Not Compensated By Will Bernard. LL.B If a Workman Gets Hurt While Loafing, May He Collect Compensation? A man worked as a night watch-man in a machinery warehouse. One warm night, feeling drowsy, he placed a chair by an open window and settled down for a nap. During his slumber, he began to twist and Is a Grocer to Blame If a Customer Is Bitten by a Dog? A man walked into a grocery store one morning with a bulldog on a leash. The dog stood quietly, while his master made a purchase. Suddenly, without warning, the ani-mal snapped at a woman customer, leaving tooth marks in her leg. The woman sued the grocer for dam-ages, blaming him for allowing such a "viscious beast" in the store. However, the court turned down her claim. The judge said that, until the woman had actually been bitten, the grocer had no way of knowing that the dog had such a nasty dispositio.n!.. If a Scrubwoman Kneels On a Bottle Cap, May She Collect Damages? A small tavern hired a woman to scrub the floors every evening, after the place closed. One night, while the woman was scouring the floor, she accidentally put one turn. Suddenly the chair tipped over and dumped its occupant right out the window! Luckily the win-dow wasn't far above the ground, so the man wasn't seriously injured. However he filed a claim for work- - men's compensation for the cuts and bruises he had suffered. But the court granted him nothing. The judge said a man cannot expect to be compensated for an injury that happened while he was loafing in-stead of working. A housewife had an insurance policy paying $25 per month in case she became "totally disabled." When she developed a severe case of arthritis in both feet, the woman put in a claim for the insurance. The company refused to pay, in-sisting that she was not "totally disabled." The woman admitted she could do a little housework oc-casionally, but she said and her doctor confirmed that she was in constant agony whenever she was on her feet. The court decided that she was entitled to the money. knee down upon an upturned bot-tle cap. Painfully cut, she sued the tavern owner for damages. How-ever, the court held the owner not liable. The judge pointed out that bottle caps are "nothing unusual" on the floor of a tavern so the woman should have been more careful where she knelt. |
