There will be two sessions each day, beginning at 10:30 a. and ending at 4 p. m.

The course is sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Federation of Garden Clubs of Philadelphia, and enrollment will include representatives from garden clubs in Hazleton, Potts-ville, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Lansford, and Lehighton. This course has never been given in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and to have the state federation bring a school of this kind to the city gives a distinction to Hazleton, where the interest in gardening and club activities runs far above the average. The state federation said that without the untiring efforts of Mrs. Owen D. Williams, the course could never have been possible here.

Speakers of national prominence will be on hand for the sessions. On the first day the members will have the opportunity to hear Prof. R. P. Nehl of State College, who will speak on horticulture, his topic being "Growing for Show Former Teacher Wins N.

It's Rosalind Russell, who has come out of movie mourning to return to her gussied-up self in "My Next Husband." No more weepers for her, says Roz, and with good reason: Her film dra mas were okay with the critics but the death at the box-office. For her current film, the actress has umpteen splendiferous gowns that would make Electra jump for joy. Roz couldn't be happier. "There's no doubt about it," she explained, "the matinee movie trade has fallen off terribly.

Wr omen simply aren't going to the movies in the daytime as much as they used to. I think I know the reason for this. "Women used to love to see fabulous fashions in the films. They liked to drool over the out-of-this-world clothes that were attorn by Gloria Swanson and Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford and the "Nowadays there are no style Icctuila iii the H.iiYiCS. C.IVCC the war, everything has been documentary; life is portrayed as it really is.

That's why women haven't been going to matinees as much. They don't want to see their own lives on the screen. They want to be carried away into another world." Movie actresses are missing the boat as far as glamor is concerned, Roz indicated. "The magazines used to carry lots of photos of film queens in lavish gowns. Now the accent is on home layouts, with the star puttering about the kitchen in a peasant dress.

But the average girl reader of the magazine has a peasant dress; she wants to see something glamorous." Stars are getting too folksy, she added. Herself being as guilty as any. "When you come for an inter view, 1 snout, Hi, Bob, come on What I should do is keep you waiting, sprinkle the room with perfume, dim the lights and recline on a couch. Then say aloofly, 'How do you do, Mr. Thomas.

Here's good news for harried husbands (including this one), whose wives plunked for new wardrobes because of lowered hemlines. Roz, who agreed that the "new look" was a plot by the dress sellers, said her latest film dresses will be a good 14 inches from the' ground. (This compares to. a dust-sweeping three inches at the depth of the "Hold onto those dresses," said Roz; "they'll be back." What Hollywood is talking about.

McKenney America's Card Authority (Written for NEA Service) Deems Taylor, composer, music critic and commentator for the Jew York Philharmonic Orchestra, 'takes part in a very interesting activity called "Weekend with Music." Mr. Taylor tells me that each week, three high school youngsters who have musical appreciation and ability are selected from various parts of the country. They are" brought to New York, the red carpet is spread out and they are entertained royally for the weekend by Standard Oil, yadio sponsor for the Philharmonic. I met three of the youngsters one Sunday evening, and discovered that Trina Stiles, of Spokane, is quite a bridge fan. She had just learned something about the suit preference play, and she knows the importance of playing hard against part-score contracts as well as game and slam contracts.

There is rhythm and timing in music, and Miss Stiles used J'Oth of those qualities in today's hand to hold her opponents to two spades. On her partner's king and ace of clubs, Miss Stiles played the queen and eight-spot. Then East led the nine of clubs and West trumped with the four of spades. Miss Stiles knew that the lead of the nine of clubs by her partner was the suit preference play. If Jast wanted her to return the iiigher suit, he would play the nine If East wanted the lower suit returned, he would lead the five of clubs.

So when Miss Stiles trumped the trick, she returned a 'heart. East won with the ace and ied back the other club. There were no clubs in dummy, but this gave West an opportunity to get in another trump, since declarer had the fourth club. Thus East wind West took the first five tricks. At Texas Base Pvt.
