r>i WAY of keeping properly in-
formed as to the high-spots which
loom on fashion’s horizon, let’s talk
about lace. It is not only that the fu-
ture of lace looks wonderfully bright
and promising but lace in the scheme
of styles-current is playing a most out-
Etanding role.
Lace in an endless variety of new
and unusual weaves and textures is
being used in ways we would not have
dreamed of a generation ago—not only
for dresses and negligees, which be-
speak romance and leisure and pret-
tily feminine wiles, but for tailored
suits and blouses and various apparel
for the more practical hours, lace reg-
isters as dependably wearable and
chic. Then, too, one of the most fas-
cinating chapters being written into
the story of fashions present and com-
ing has to do with shoes, handbags and
gloves which are ingeniously styled
of lace.
It goes without saying, that in this
emphasis given to lace for every oc-
casion there needs must be a right
lace for the right time and place, as
we now have laces at our disposal
as filmy and fragile as cobwebs, laces
as sturdy and wearable as tweeds, and
in tune with the trend to elegance
comes along this seasop rich and lus-
trous laces shot with gold and silver
or sparkling with glitter of sequin em-
bellishment.
Lace blouses are particularly high-
lighted in the present mode. We ^re
picturing three which will add variety
and interest to the winter velvet or
cloth suit, making it ap-
propriate for any more
or less informal occa-
sion. The lines are as
smart and new as the
laces which fashion
them.
To the left in the
group we have a trig
little blouse, smart, tai-
lored and youthful. In-
teresting, too, because
of the very new fabric-
like lace—gold shot metal zephyr lace
hnit—and it comes in a wide choice of
colors such as candy beige, clay rust,
Chinese coral and mahogany brown.
The lace blouse with the polka dot
pattern gives just the right accent
when you don’t care to look too tai-
lored. Soft, feminine and quite new in
line and medium is this woolette lace
blouse.
If you want a blouse to dress up
your suit for an afternoon bridge or a
matinee or three o’clock musicale,
here’s the very thing centered in the
picture—a fine Alencon lace in a
thoroughly wearable style.
The new lace tunics are wonderfully
good looking. Whether in the modish
dark colored laces, wine, hunter’s
green, rust brown or in the delectable
ice blue, blush pink or pale cham-
pagne tints, these knee-length blouses
'lire fascinating. Wear them over a
velvet or crepe skirt or that which is
the last word in chic—a sheer skirt
knife pleated all around, for evening.
If you want to be assured of al-
ways looking beautifully gowned dur-
ing the formal after-five hours enrich
your wardrobe to the extent of one
exquisite black lace gown. The filmy
Chantilly black laces are competing
with the heavier grandiose Spanish
types at present To vary the appear-
ance of the black lace dress of your
choice have it made with a neckline
which lends Itself to jewelled clips,
also to the wearing of flowers across
the front neckline.

“BLANKET” COAT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
II
illii
Here's the latest thing in the way of
a sports and practical daytime coat.
Schiaparelli makes this dashing model
of a brilliant red, green and blue plaid
blanket wool. It is shown here worn
over a dark blue one-piece wool dress.
The flaring lines are very new.
Capes Carry On
Obviously the small round cape is
carrying over for spring. Hardly a day
model is shown without one, and the
little evening cape Is practically in-
evitable. Elbow or waist-length is the
size of them.
NET IS FAVORITE
AS WINTER FABRIC
Fashion designers are well aware
that many women aren’t satisfied un-
less they are wearing furs in summer
and filmy garments in snowstorms. So
for winter evenings, they are recom-
mending the most transparent of fab-
rics, net The most arresting model,
seen in a representative collection,
is designed along shirtwaist lines and
has silver cross bars to decorate the
net. A turnover collar with ruffled
edge, short sleeves with ruffled cuffs
and a skirt which bunches its buoyancy
at either side, are noteworthy features
of the mode.
A square dotted mesh is the most
old-fashioned of all the netted themes
to appear this seasoq. An overblouse
of this quaint ' stuff is recommended
to cover a simple but quite formal
black crepe evening gown.
New Bodice Treatment Is
Seen in Late Collections
The bloused silhouette has been
gradually growing in importance and
gives promise of coming through in an
important way. Lelong and Molyneux
both showed the bodice that is bloused
at the back.
Collections prepared for resort wear
are playing up the bloused bodice, in
all-round and just-at-the-back treat-
ments; the resort groups suggest it
in sportsy versions, which will doubt-
less have much to do with its ac-
ceptance. Shirrings and smockings are
important in gaining the bloused line,
introduced in yokes and sections, the
smockings not to be confused with the
peasant blouse type.
Dainty Footwear
If milady intends driving her car to
the party when she is wearing delicate
slippers, she would be wise to wear an
old pair of slippers and change in the
car before going in to the party. An
unexpected smudge of oil or grease
could ruin the whole afternoon.
The Barrier

WNU Service.
\\ THEN Janet got off the night train
w at the quiet little town of Mar-
tinville she went directly to her home.
Had her neighbors known that she
planned to return, there would have
been many invitations extended to the
lonely girl who was coming back alone
after her trip abroad with her invalid
mother.
She had told no one of her coming,
for she had been too heart-sick to
write. She had the Instinct of a
wounded animal to return to the places
she knew; and as she drew in long
breaths of the sweet country air, she
felt she had done the,right thing.
The Scott home was at the very out-
skirts of the vilage and near only one
house, the Smith house, which was
next door, with large grounds and
many trees about it. Therefore, when
Janet set all her doors and windows
wide open the next morning there was
no one near enough to observe. “I sup-
pose some one will see my smoke,”
thought the girl as she lighted the fire.
She bustled about, hoping to set the
place in spotless order before the ad-
vent of the neighbors she longed to
see, and it was nearly ten o’clock be-
fore she heard footsteps.
“Why, Janet Scott, why didn’t you
let us know you were coming home?”
A pair of arms thrown warmly about
the slim, blue-ginghamed waist aroused
her.
“I just came last night,” she said,
“I knew how good you would be, but
I just thought I’d creep in and get it
over with alone.”
Amy patted her arm gently. “Well,
you shan’t sleep another night here
alone. I’ll be over again to get you
for dinner.”
“I’ve been planning all morning and
I can’t bear to think of going away
to teach; I want to be at home and
I’m going to open a boarding house.
What do you think of the plan?”
“There are several people I know
of now. The hotel has been closed all
winter and the teacher from the vil-
lage school is looking about now for
a place to board next fall—and—”
Janet wondered why her old friend
suddenly halted with twinkling eyes
and stood as though thinking: “And
what?” asked the girl.
“Nothing,” was the evasive reply.
“Didn’t you feel afraid so far away
from the other houses last night?"
Janet shook her head.
“You know the Smith house has the
name of being haunted. Did you hear
anything?”
“No. I wonder why they don’t rent
it? Seems a shame for such a fine
estate to fall into decay,” returned
Janet, a delicate pink staining her
smooth cheeks as she recalled the
quarrel between the two families. The
feud had grown out of a mere trifle.
A ball thrown by Janet’s little brother
had broken a pane of glass in the
greenhouse, and touchy old Mrs. Smith
had fussed and nagged until the fam-
ilies were on terms of bitter silence.
Amy, watching the telltale expres-
sions flit over the young face, knew
that Janet was thinking of the brown-
eyed Frank Smith.
Janet, her mind a jumble of thoughts,
hurried over her dustin'’- She wanted
to get out into the old-fashioned gar-
den and see the flowers that she had
longed for on her trip home. The yel-
low roses, badly in need of pruning,
swarmed up against the squat bush
of flowering quince and trailed in long,
thorny sprays along the thick grass
that was dotted with blossoms of pink
and white clover. To the east Janet’s
eyes wandered and fell on the thick
row of lilacs that divide the Scott
grounds from the Smith estate. “There,
no one has touched those bushes for
years,” she thought, recalling the old
happy times when Frank squeezed
through the bushes that he persisted
in calling lilac trees. “Those branches
are growing over and spoiling my
hedge. 1 guess I’ll just start right
there with my trimming.”
She worked steadily and there was a
growing pile of branches as tribute to
her industry when an abrupt sound
on the other side of the hedge startled
her.
“What do you mean by touching my
lilac trees?” The voice was masculine
and touched with a crisp annoyance.
There was a crashing sound and a
gray tweed arm made an opening in
the tangle of blossoms and a pair of
brown eyes peered through. “You
sound mighty confident, but as I hap-
pen to be the—why, Janet, hello! I
didn’t know you were home,” he ended
with a glad note in his voice that
brought a rush of rose to the face
that had gone white.
‘And, I,” returned Janet, “under-
stood that your home was empty ex-
cept for ghosts, so I thought I’d prune
your lilacs for you. They are crowd-
ing my hedge,” she added a hit tremu-
lously as his dark eyes dwelt discon-
certingly on her.
“There are ghosts in the house,” he
said seriously, “ghosts of old mem-
ories—ghosts of an old love that has
never been forgotten. I was just about
to close up the old house and offer it
for sale, as no one seemed to know
where you were or when you would
return. The folks seemed to think you
would remain in France and I couldn’t
bear it here with your home close.
Suppose, Janet,” the dark eyes glowed
and he took her hands in his, “suppose
you come through the hedge and help
me keep the ghosts away in the Smith
house?”
“Perhaps I will,” murmured the girl,
her eyes starry with joy. “You cer-
tainly need help with your lilac tress.”

SHOtf
By Bob Nichols
5 Shooting Editor. Field and Stream"
NJ O MAN can hope to become a
very good wingshot if he lays his
gun away ten months in the year and
takes it out again only when the au-
tumn gunning season rolls around.
Especially in his development stage,
the hopeful shooter needs practice the
year ’round. Much of this practice
can be what is termed “dry shooting.”
That is, mere practice indoors with
the gun empty.
“Dry shooting” will materially help
you acquire good form and speed in
your gun mounting. Keep your gun
standing handy in a corner of your
room, where you can snatch it up for
a few minutes’ practice in the eve-
ning before you turn in. Keep all
shells for the gun under lock and key
where children, or grown-ups with
children’s minds, can’t get at them.
Never slip shells in your gun in the
house. To do so is to invite tragedy!
Grab up your gun for a few minutes
each day. Not more than two or three
minutes at a time, for practice does
you little good if you continue after
your arms are fatigued.
Practice mounting the gun to your
shoulder. Get so you can do it swift-
ly but gently. Never jerk it up spas-
modically, or bang the butt hard back
into your shoulder.
Bring it up smoothly, pointing it In-
stinctively at a spot on the wall paper
as it comes up to your face and in to
your shoulder, then giving it the finer
aiming adjustment just as you pull the
trigger. Keep both eyes open and see
how gradually it becomes easier and
easier to point the gun accurately with
the full power of your two-eyed vision.
Push your gun stock in close to your
face so it won’t be necessary to tilt
your head too far over to look down
the barrel. Your gun butt should rest
clear in on your shoulder, clear in to
the base of your neck—never out on
the arm.
Don’t snap your hammers. You may
break a firing pin. Put the safety on.
You can practice pulling the trigger
just about as well this way.
Stand erect as you practice. Nor
stiffly like a ram-rod, but easily erect.
Keep your head erect and your chin
down. To tuck in your chin before
you mount your gun may prevent you
from getting the bad habit of craning
your head and neck out over the gun
stock when you shoot. Get the habit
of keeping your chin tucked in as you
bring your gun up and you’ll find that
your barrels come up into easy align-
ment much quicker. Mounting your
gun with chin tucked in is a simpler
movement. Doing it with the chin
sticking out results in a compound
movement—your gun comes up and
your chin comes down. Frequently
they do not meet at the same point.
Your head may be craned out too far
over the stock of the gun. When this
awkward strain Is introduced, the
shooter frequently raises his head an
instant before firing and up goes his
gun muzzle and he over-shoots.
With your chin tucked snugly in,
your face soon learns to assume a
fixed shooting position. Face and gun
stock no longer try to “find each other
in the dark.” The hands, having been
taught their duty, bring the gun stock
up into the accustomed position, where
cheek and eyes are all ready waiting
to take possession of the finer ad-
justments of the aim.
Hunters who haven’t yet learned to
assume correct head position before
bringing the gun to shoulder, quite
often get a bruised cheek bone. They
blame the gun. Usually It isn’t tha
gun’s fault at all.
Good shooting form—and good shoot-
ing, too—results from a synchroniza-
tion of movement, and a consequent
elimination of unfamiliar movement
and lost motion.

“Sensitization Diseases”
Found Largely Inherited
Hay fever, asthma, eczema, food
idiosyncrasy and similar minor dis-
eases caused by excessive sensitivity
to certain pollens, dusts, foods or oth-
er common substances have been
found to be inherited family weak-
nesses in 33 per cent of 7,000 students
studied by the University of Michi-
gan Health service. Probably 54 per
cent of all persons have a personal
or family history of “sensitization dis-
eases,” the survey also showed.
Since 1930, complete medical his-
tories of 7,000 students entering the
university have been registered and
checked for accuracy by parents of
the students, according to Dr. Buena-
ventura Jiminez in the Michigan Med-
ical Society Journal.
It was found that 12 per cent of
these students had previously had
hay fever, rose fever, asthma or ec-
zema. A second group, 22 per cent,
reported having had urticaria, gastro-
intestinal upsets, food idiosyncrasy,
frequent “colds” and headaches of the
type usually caused by sensitization
to some substance or food. A third
group, 19 per cent reported themselves
so far free from such annoyances,
but with a history of sensitivity among
other members of the family.
“Although the health service figures
show a prevalence of sensitization dis-
eases exceeding all previous estimates,
they are well attested and emphasize
the need of more attention to these
conditions which are usually regarded
as annoyances rather than diseases,”
states Doctor Jiminez. “This viewpoint
may be justified in youth, for many
symptoms are progressive with age.”
Ingenious Solution of
Daytime “Nap” Problem
Roberta earle Windsor, Na-
tional Kindergarten association,
New York.
The problem of the daytime nap
nearly had us beaten. Our little Mol-
ly, just three and a half; wras so am-
bitious, so interested in everything
and so afraid that she would miss
out on something, that she just
couldn’t find time to sleep during the
daytime. We tried all of the usual
means of luring her off to a daylight
dreamland with but little success.
Then one day in a children’s shop I
found the solution to this trouble-
some problem.
The solution was In the form of a
little pink rayon crepe nightie. It
had all the luster of crepe de chine
and was trimmed with bands of tur-
quoise blue. Molly loves silk and I
had an idea that the purchase of this
little nightie would be a good in-
vestment. And truly it was the be-
ginning of our little Molly’s becoming
a sweeter child. Every child, no
matter how ambitious, needs some
rest during the day in order to keep
happy and well behaved.
I have found the vise of dainty and
attractive sleeping garments a real
solution to the daytime nap problem.
This success is due, no doubt, in part
at least, to the fact that coax as
much as she might, Molly has never
been permitted to wear the daytime
nighties at night.
Since the little “silk” gown worked
such wonders, I have added'to the
daytime sleeping apparel other pretty
and interesting garments. There is a
dainty little suit of flowered batiste
which is about the coolest sort oi
pajamas that a child can slip into af-
ter the bath on a hot summer day.
For the downy outing pajamas for
winter, Molly was allowed to select
the colors she liked best. She has a
bathrobe of French blue, made of
Turkish toweling, which adds inter-
est to the afternoon bath and a spe-
cial pair of little bedroom slippers,
for daytime use only, helped to make
Molly’s afternoon nap a pleasant oc-
casion.
Molly loves these pretty things, as
she loves the flowers. She is never
told how prqtty she is, nor encour-
aged to stand before the mirror.
When she has done so any tendency
toward self-admiration has been
turned aside by interesting her in the
garment itself—its color—graceful
lines—the people who made it. To
condition our little girl to be vain
would probably bring about more in-
harmony than lack of sleep, but we
have found that this is no more nec-
essary in the appreciation of beauti-
ful clothes than it Is in the love of
the wonders of nature.

LIS7ERINE FOR SORE THROAT
Chew for Beauty,
Models Advised
Rythmic chewing, combined with
exercises of the head and neck, was
revealed recently at New York to
2,000 models, members of the Models’
Guild, as the newest beauty formula.
The advice came from a well-known
specialist in response to a request
from»the guild for information re-
garding the system.
A dozen exercises are included In
the complete routine. The instruc-
tions for the one illustrated: “Start
with chewing gum—one or tw'o
sticks. After a few seconds, begin
the exercise by tossing the head
from side to side. Then open your
mouth as wide as you can. Close it
gradually, and all the while endeavor
to chew your gum.”
This exercise is designed to tone
the muscles of the chin and lower
jaw. Others promote a fine neck-
line and beautiful cheeks.

Unable to Account for
Affliction of Blushing
Doctors, working on the causes
and cures of blushing, are unanimous
in reporting that what may cause or
cure this affliction in one patient,
may in no way apply to another. One
doctor himself admitted that he was
forced to give up his general practice
because he could not control his
blushing, or find a cure for it.
The old-fashioned feminine blush is
said to be due to a nervous over-
stimulation caused by embarrass-
ment—the outward sign of an in-
ward, Invisible though highly com-
plex nerve storm. The sheep-eyed
glance of a bashful swain toward a
shy maid might readily glow, while
a strong man may have a disar-
ranged thyroid gland which causes
him to blush at the slightest provo-
cation.
Another doctor believes that
blushing may have something to do
with the subconscious. “It is high
ly probable,” he said, “that some
forms of blushing are rooted deeply
in subconsciousness, and in certain
ones can be worked out by means
of psycho-analysis. I knew of one
very strange case of where blushing
from this suggested cause was com-
pletely changed Into a habitual pal-
ing. Instead of a flush suffusing the
woman, she wTould grow white as a
sheet, and yet nothing organically
wrong could be found with her.”
