PAGU FOtfll With the Hemp stead Home Agent Melva Bullington Winter Wardrobes Winter wardrobes are claiming the attention of 92 4-H Club girls enrolled in clothing demonstration in Hempstead county. Wardrobes for 4-H club girls have never had more possibilities than they have this year, since there are so many possibilities for combinations of garments for various occasion, according to Miss Sue Marshall, extension specialist in clothnig and household arts. University of Arkansas College of Agriculture. It is not the number of dresses and accessories in a girl's wardrobe that makes it outstanding. Miss Marshall points out.

An appropriate ensemble for various occasions, such as school, sports, and best wear, makes any girl's wardrobe outstanding. The wardrobe color, with contrasting accessories, must first "be selected. Next, the club girl should take stock of the dresses on hand, and plan how to make them over if necessary. The jumper dress is a fashion favorite this fall and is a splendid way to make over an old wool dress. Miss Marshall suggests.

Blouses of all kinds may be made to wear with the jumper dress, as long as they harmonize in color. Cotton print, batiste, silk, or light weight wool may be used for these blouses. Unworn parts from old dresses may furnish the material. The suspenders may button on, then they can be removed and the skirt worn. with wool sweaters, a corduroy or velveteen jacket, or the plain jacket ftf a suit.

After the plans for remodeling are finished, the new garments needed to complete the wardrobe should be planned. A plain two-piece suit of wool would be an excellent choice for sports and street, and even church wear, Miss Marshall advises. It should harmonize with a plain wool skirt in the wardrobe. An extra jacket of velveteen or corduroy'to wear with the skirt will be a useful addition. If the budget will allow another dress, one for best wear and informal parties may be added.

It may be of silk crepe, or sheer wool that drapes well. A waist dress is every girl's favorite dress for school, street, or sport wear. If only one coat can be owned at a time, a solid colored, furless ruffer that can be worn with scarfs is the best choice, according to Miss Marshall Avho suggests a wool scarf for school and a silk one for dress occasion. Accessories, such as purse, tarn, or sports hat, and a scarf may be made from scrapes of the plain from the suit. These are very smart for sports and school wear.

By GEORGE ROSS NEW YORK-One night last year, the lyric-writing Lorenz Hart lay abed, reading Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors." Flung across the carpet was his brother, Teddy, the diminuitive comedian of "Three Men on a Horse" and "Room Service" fame. Lorenz came to that part where the Bard mixed up Dromio and his twin brother. "What yer laughin' about?" asked Teddy.

"Listen," said Lorenz, 'if there were another guy like you, this show would make a great musical." The other Shakespeare? Hart snickered. "Me? You're off your nut. But they say me and Jimmy Savo are dead doubles, if that's all that is bothering you." Lorenz Hart leapt out of bed Literally. A little fellow of vast nervous energy, he doesn't do things by slow degrees. "Sure," he exclaimed, "I'd forgotten that you and Savo are ringers.

Then Lorenz Hart met Producer George Abbott on the street. "I've got a great idea," he said. They stopped Abbott said It was a great at the Astor Bar, where Hart told him Then they both went over to Richard SERIAL STORY LOVERS AWEIGH BY BETTY WALLACE COPVRIOHT, teas NBA SERVICE, INC.

How many times had she lied to him? She had lost count. She felt his hurt, she felt the sickening, senseless blow she had given him, but she was powerless to stop herself. Something urgent egged her on.

Something compelling and indescribable. Something compounded of the songs she had danced to with Dwight Campbell the sound of their laughter blending. Something that was part of the kisses he had given her and part of that night on the Texarkana when he told her he was marrying Marvel.

There was the time both of them stood before her anc said, "Will you be the maid honor?" And the wedding and the party in the theatrical, overdone house. And Marvel's voice whipping at her in the room on the ship. Why couldn't she be done with it? Why couldn't she cast him ou of her heart? Jack was the mosi wonderful man a girl could have Fine and true and honest. But she knew, anguishedly, that it wasn't enough.

Knowing his worth wasn't enough. There had to be that other, mysterious alchemy, that pull that drew you to him, that made your blood water In your veins, and your will soft end useless at the sound of his voice. There had to be emptiness When he wasn't near you, and singing happiness when he was close. Not just satisfaction. Not just contentment.

Nothing that she had with Jack was enough. Jhe flaming promise of what might have been hers leaped to life every time she heard Dwight's name.

By the next nightfal, Shakespeare already had begun to turn over in hi, Stratford crypt; for his "Comedy of Errors" was about to be converted into a song and dance show, with a couple of vaudeville comics, smart tunes, plenty of girls and with a new "The Boys from Syracuse." 'Twouid Wow the Bard Skip the months of writing, composing, rewriting, re-composing, casting, rehearsing, trying-out and we get up to the other night when "The Boys from Syracuse" had its Grand Opening at the Alvin.

Here is how the critics felt about the whole idea the next morning: "Kiss "The Boys From Syracuse' Hello for me," said the academic Mr. Atkinson of the Times. "I believe it will be regarded as the greatest musical comedy of its time," said Mr. Whipple of the World Telegram. "Among the town's indispensable amusements," said Mr.

Anderson of the Journal- American. "Something to see and hear," said Mr. Brown of the Post. "One of the season's gayest," said Mr. Lockridge of the Sun.

And all the way down the line the critics lavished more praise upon this show than upon any other revue that has come to town in years. We think old Will would have hummed the songs Rodgers Hart wrote on his way out of the theater and that he wouldn't have minded the liberties Mr. Abbott has taken with his original script. For the fact is that though the plot of "The Comedy of Errors" is all there, the dialogue is Mr. Abbott's.

Nobody minds. up, scarcely believing she had really heard her name. "Judy!" For a moment, she felt numb. And then, seeing him open the door, seeing his lean, tanned face and the curly hair under his cap she said, "Dwight!" He sat down beside her The door closed. She heard it close This must be real, it must be happening.

But she didn't believe it yet. "I was going walking he said "When I saw your car, I thought at first I was dreaming." ''I'm dreaming," said Judy You're not really here her His eyes were here, all with a little mirthless laugh. "There's no nlace else to go. I couldn't stand the house.

"I'm probably not being fair," he said.

"I've had such a load of private hell, I didn't think much about it. Always have been suspicious of grand-stand gestures, that's all. But I'll give it to if it was ever real, it was with him." "You're very cynical." "Why wouldn't I be?" He was suddenly bitterly angry. "Even the most tooted commodity in the book!" "You love her very much, don't you?" He didn't answer that directly. "She's spoiled.

The Court and Mooncy no one will ever know, but it's possible a majority of the Supreme Court favored a review the Tom Mooncy ease despite the Court formal refusal to reconsider its previous refusal to grant a writ of cer- tiorai. Justices Reed and Black dissented from the original refusal to grant the petition of Attorneys John H. Finerty a nd George T. Davis. But it was announced they took no part in consideration of the second application.

Which meant six justices made the decision. They may have been unamous or they may have split three to three, in which case resconsideration would still have been refused for lack of a favorable majority among those voting. The point is: no one knows. Some effort well be made for legislation requiring the court to grant certiorari in any case where at least two justices (hink a writ should issue, and requiring the court to give its reasons for refusal when important constitutional questions are involved.
