DEAR JUDY,
D’ya know those little “don’t
fence me in bands” that every-
body is hep about right now?
Well, here’s how to make your
pos lovely. Catherine Reynolds
of Roosevelt High School in New
York suggests using oil paints to
paint the black velvet bands with
musical notes or Roman clock
numerals. They look simply goo.
Wigglcworms should get a
kick out of the new hot jazz
album which traces jazz back to
the 20’s. It starts off with the Mc-
Kinney's Cotton Pickers and
winds up with jivin’ Benny Good-
man.
By the bye, a warped wax is
not. necessarily ruined. Place it
in a warm spot with a light
book on top; then increase the
weight of the book as the warp-
age decreases. Turns out good
as new.
If you want to get a slant on
how older brothers feel about us,

"Why?”
“He said he thought they might

"And do they?”
“More than that—they make me

"You make me sick!” said Aggie.
"A man like Philip Brownell wait-

i “Let's ndb go into all that again,”

thoughtfully. “Maybe they weren’t

When Helen returned to the liv-
ing room, Philip was looking at
Miss Minerva’s picture.
“It's perfect," he said. “Even to
the quizzically cocked eyebrow."
“You and my aunt hit it off aw-
fully well, don’t you?” said Helen.
"There’s only one thing we dis-
agree about,” Philip replied. “The
war.”
“How do you mean?”
"Miss Minerva insists that I’m
indispensable as foreman of a de-
fense plant,” Philip exclaimed.
"And I, like most men, feel an itch
to get right in the middle of the
scrap.”
“You mean you're staying out of
the scrap because of my aunt?”
“Not exactly, no. But the draft
board seems to agree with her that
I’m more useful in overalls than in
a uniform. As you’ve no doubt read,
factory workers and farmers are
being considered quite as impor-
tant and necessary as soldiers and
sailors.”
“I should think they would be,”
said Helen. "After all, somebody’s
got to make the tanks and planes
we need and raise the things we
eat. Besides, wasn’t it Napoleon
who said armies fight on their
stomachs ?"
“I believe it was,” said Philip.
"I’m beginning to see the logic of
it all now.” He helped Helen with
her wrap, watched her arrange the
flowers so that they wouldn’t be

The committee system got some
thing of an overhauling in the
House in 1911 when the inherited
power of Speaker “Uncle Joe”

Republican Committee on Com-

Ten years later, the Senate
, lopped off 40 useless committees,
but they didn’t get rid of all the
dead limbs then.
La Follette recalls that when
his father came here in 1906, he
immediately was made chairman
of the “Committee to Investigate
the Condition of the Potomac
River Flats,” although the Po-
tomac river flats had been elim-
inated years before.

The seniority system of selec-
tion of the powerful committee
chairman (“petty barons,” Wood-
row Wilson called them) has also
come in for much criticism. It has
resulted in men in the seventies
and even eighties heading up
some of our most important com-
mittees; of isolationists holding
key positions on the majority oi
minority sides of military and
foreign affairs committees: and
of men too ill to attend sessions
I still holding sway.
1 The other important criticism
is against the understaffing and
incompetent staffing of commit-
tee experts, mainly because of
low salary limitation!:. The de-1
partments pay some of their ex-
perts more than Congressmen
themselves receive.

"No,” said Helen, “of course not.”

they left, "I didn’t come up here to

please."

you show me the Great White Way,
and then—”
“Which,” said Helen, "Isn’t very
white any more.”
“That’s right!" Philip agreed.
“The streets do look pretty black,
don’t they?” And as they descend-
ed the stairs he said: “After the
show I’d like to go to some gay
and colorful spot where there's
good food and drinks in tall, tink-
ling glasses. Do you mind?”
“Not at all,” said Helen. “I’m at
your service. Aunt Minerva said
you’d earned a change, the right to
enjoy some gaiety, and since I’m
terribly fond of my aunt, I—"
“I see,” said Philip, smiling.
“You’re doing it all for Miss Miner-
va! A sort of girl scout daily good
deed done at nightfall!”
“Nothing of the sort,” Helen said.
"As a matter of fact, I haven’t had
any gaiety myself for a long, long
time. It's going to be nice having
a man like you break me in again.”
Philip took her arm. "That,” he
said, "makes me feel a whole lot
better."
They got into a taxicab that did
a half-circle up to the curb. They
drove downtown to the Roaring
lAirties, which, as Helen expressed
it, now did their roaring in the
dark. They went to a hilarious mu-

CHAPTER FOUR
HELEN HURRIED into the bed-
room, where Aggie now was stuf-
fing a pair of overalls Into a canvas
bag. “Don’t work too late," she
said, walking over to the dressing
table with the gardenias. “You
might have a relapse.”
“Confound this zipper!” said Ag-
gie. Thon slio sneezed and said:
“I’m nut the relapsing kind. I take
colds, but I battle ’em. I’ll have a
pincers movement on this one be-
fore you know it"
“Wouldn’t a clothespin be bet-
ter?" Helen suggested.
"Very funny," said Aggie. She
looked up and saw the gardenias.
"Beautiful! My favorite flower!”
"Then I’ll try to keep them fresh
for you to wear tomorrow.”
"Thanks. They’ll probably be a
bit yellowish around the gills by
then, but who am I to complain?
You don’t have any second-hand
men lying around some place, do
ycu?"
“There’s one in the living room,”
said Helen. “Had you forgotten

“No, because Philip thinks the

Aggie watched Helen pin on the
flowers, and thought: “I make im-

It is in these committees that

acts, and smoked cigarets In the
lobby while Helen identified thi»
well-known person and that one.
"How do you happen to know
them?" Philip asked.
"I don’t, really,” Helen confessed.
“Only by sight. Seeing their pic-
tures in the Sunday papers. But 1
still get a sort of kick out of min-
gling with them.”
"It’s fun, all right,” said Philip.
“But as a steady diet I think I pre-
fer the folks one meets In towns
like Lakeville—on Main street.”
“Yes?” said Helen.
"You know what I mean,” Philip
continued. “ ‘Hello, there, Miss
Mosher, how's the rheumatism ?’ or
'Good morning, Judge Brown, Is the
new colt going to turn out to be a
racer?’ That sort of thing, so hu-
man and warm-hearted.”
“But people up here greet each
other,” said Helen. “They aren't
nearly so cold and reserved as you
might think.”
“I reckon you're right, at that,"
said Philip. “You and Miss Jones
have certainly been friendly and
cordial.” He paused and grinned.
"But, come to think of it, you’re
Lakeville folks yourselves.”
After the show they went to the
Rainbow room.
It was close to midnight, and the
place was crowded. But they man-
aged to get a table not too far
from the dance floor.
Philip leaned closer to Helen
- when they were seated and said;

"My, but you are having yourself
a vacation, aren’t you?” Helen
laughed.
"I’ve never tasted it,” Philip said.
“You know—small-towner—seeing
people drink it in the movies, and
planning some day to emulate
them."
“I’ve tasted It,” said Helen. "It’s
disappointing. You know how it al-
ways is in those movies you men-
tioned—the girl wiggling her nose
and giggling when she first tastes
it? Well, I didn’t.”
"Let’s have some just the same.
Shall we?”
“Of course." said Helen. "If you

Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, Jr.,

years ago to reduce the Senate i
standing committees from 33 to

mere reduction in the number of
committees is the solution.

Philip ordered. He tasted. He
eyed his glass.
"Well?" said Helen, watching
him.
“Tastes like ginger ale to me,”
he said. "Come on, let’s dance!”
They got up. Helen went to his
arms. They danced well together,
moving expertly ovei- the crowded
floor. 4
Helen closed her eyes and tried
to think only of the moment, of the
man there with her. But it was no
use. She kept remembering the
