[—thus modern art and In-

century achievement In this line or
that
To those who would be fashion-
;Wlse the fates have been especially
kind In the way of staging exhibits
for their enlightenment as to style
trends. The latest recruit to Join the
army of those who would tell a story
of accomplishment Is the woolen In-
dustry. An event which Is history
making hi the fabric Held Is that pre-
sented In New York under the ro-
mantic caption, Golden Fleece Pageant.
It reveals the faslfton Importance of
woolens and worsteds down through
the centuries. All the mills of the
country have been Invited to submit
representative fabrics to a committee
of stylists, numbered among which
are editors of Important' fuslilon pub-
lications and leading authorities -on
dress throughout the country. Which
means that woolen fubrlcs are playing
an outstanding role on fashion's pro-
gram.
The lightweight woolens for spring
and summer frocks are enchanting.
Their lovely shades and vivid color-
ings, their artful patternlugs and sheer
textures bespeak for them an unprece-
dented vogue. The daintiest types
seem to have captured the delicate
green of spring foliage, the elusive
blue of summer skies or perhaps the
golden glow of a radiant sunset. Some
are flowered, some are bordered, while
still others are tn delectable solid
tones.
Printed challis Is among the love-
liest of these lovely new woolens. The

ers,.yes, really and truly bona fide
suspenders, form a threesome the re-
sult Is a very attractive sports cos-
tume. The picture proves just that.
It's a bit Uapperlsh, to be sure, which,
no doubt, enhances it ail the more in
the eyes of the younger set.
It seems that the suspender dress
comes to us via Hollywood way,
where It Is extremely popular among
the younger screen actresses, Barbara
Kent, who posed for this photograph,
being one of the first to take up the
fad.
Granting that It Is the suspenders
which give the thrill of novelty, yet
for smartness and up-to-dateness the
skirt and the blouse are sufficient unto
themselves. In fact, they furnish a
clew to two of fashion's Intest trends.
The plaited wool skirt, for instance,
belongs In the wardrobe of the mod-
ern young girl. Not only for sports
but for school wear, a skirt: such as
this Is quite essential from a practlcnl
as well as a fashionable point of view.
Of course a separate skirt calls for
any number of blouses, and It Is the
tuck-ln versions over which Buch an
ado Is made tills season. The very
latest ensembles, whether of tweed or
knitted, whether with long coat or
jacket, feature the tuck-lu blouse.
There Is an exaggerated simplicity
about the new tuck-In blouse which is
really quite fetching.
Among the many versions of the
"tuck-in" there are none more at-
tractive than those of white Jersey
which lace at the front opening with u
colorful cord. White washable silk,

naive frock In the picture Is made of
this charming lightsome weave and it
Is typical of the beguiling models
which will grace the forthcoming ex-
hibition of woolen fashions.
Other of the novelty weaves shown
Include knitted woolen goods Into
which Is spun a thread of metal.
Chiffon flannel In ndorable shades Is
delightfully wearable, while striped
woolens for sports express ultra chic.
When a "bobby" skirt and a
Juck-ln blouse and a p#lr of *u pend-
such as pongee and tussah, are equally
as smart styled In a tailored way.
With skirts and Jackets of print or
plain fabric the sleeveless tuck-ln
blouse is also sponsored, for "without
sleeves" has become a hobby with
the mode for the milder months to
come. Which all goes to show that
the tennis expert and the golf en-
thusiast are going to dress for com-
fort as well as "looks" In the future.

A GOOD CAUSE
The chickens In the barnyard were
being shielded by their mother's
wings.
It was n very cold day.
"They are so silly," said Pinky
Pig, "don't they know that when they
put their heads under their mother's
wings like that that their heads may
be covered up, but their feathers are
sticking out in the cold!
"They are not really being kept
warm."
"Well," said Mother Hen, "they are
being pnrtly covered up and they feel
they are being kept warm.
"Of course you cannot understand,
Pinky, as you're n pig and not a
chicken.
"A pig, I can quite easily under-
stand, would want to get all covered
up—feathers and everything.
"Oh—I beg your pardon, you
haven't any feathers at all."
"I couldn't get covered up In that
way," said I'ink.v, "because my moth-
er isn't as small as a hen, nor has
she wings.
"She's a great, big, fat pig."
"Pigs are usually that way," said
Mrs. Hen, "your mother Is no ex-
ception to the rule.
"She's just like they all are—fat,
and so are you, too. Ugh!"
Mrs. Hen shivered with disgust.
The chickens had poked their little
heads out when I'lnky flrst came to
Had Poked Their Little Heads Out.
talk to their mother, to hear what he
had to say.
But they found It quite uninterest-
ing and they liked to be kept warm,
far better.
So they were back under
mother's wings, with their TtTTIe
ers sticking out as Pinky had said.
"They're not greedy, the little
dears," said Mrs. Ilen.
"But I saw them take a nice worm
breakfast from Mr. Rooster not long
ago."
"Ah," said Mrs. nen, "that was
very different. Mr. Rooster gave
them the worm breakfast as a pres-
ent.
"It was a great honor."
"I'd like to know the difference be-
tween a present of food and food one
has to hunt for In order to get.
"It seems to me that presents are
very unfair. They don't give them
to the pigs these days."
"Nonsense, Pinky," said Mr. Hen,
"the farmer gives you presents of
food all the time."
"So he does," agreed Pinky, "but
I forget about it as It doesn't seem
as though I ever had enough."
"I heard you were sick only a lit-
tle time ago from having overeaten,"
said Mrs. Hen.
"'o I was," said Pinky.
"But dear me, dear pig me, that
was being sick for a good cause, as
they say.
"To be sick from overeating!
"Well, that's all right, says this
young pig," Pinky Pig ended with a
grunt, a squeal, and a twist of his
crooked tall.

Quickly
to people who work hard ~~
KARO is a delicious food—but
more—it is a real energy food.
There are 120 calories per ounce
in Karo — almost twice the energy-
giving value of eggs and lean beef,
weight for weight.
No effort to digest Karo is re-
quired as in many other staple foods.
Which means, Karo supplies
energy quickly.
And this is important to those
who work and play hard. Especially
good is Karo for growing children,
as your doctor can tell you.
Serve plenty of Karo — keep the
folks healthy, happy and satisfied.
