Suits, More With Easter arriving the fifth of April, every girl In the United States of America will have time to get her new spring suit completely accessorized and ready for action.

There has never been a suit season with so many types of suits. First the classic not too short, not too long wrist length jacket, beautifully tailored with a slim skirt of excellent quality, built for service, the backbone of a wardrobe and good just as long as it holds together. This year it may be gray instead, of navy, but beige, browns and greens are also in the running. However, for the basic suits, gray and blue are best because we tire least of these colors. There are tweeds, flannels, cheviots, gabardines, whipcords, and coverts in the fabric service field.

Both gabardines and coverts are waterproofed if one wishes, and hats should be made of the Identical fabrics sailors, fedoras or berets are best for this type of suit. Bags to match are very smart and very practical. A matching topcoat is a good idea for this spring, because whether we like it or not, there will be less wool for civilian needs next year and your wool suits will be your back log. Blouses of sheer wool are new. Sweater blouses are very light in weight, very practical and very smart.

Printed rayons and lingerie blouses are desirable to give the needed variety and color to the spring outfit. There are bolero and basque jacket suits, and skirts are full behind, full in front or pleated all the way around. Soft folds in circularly cut skirts are sculptured and flattering. There are no end of the foursomes jacket, skirt, slacks and topcoat. This is the best bet for anybody's money.

It will go every place, do anything and makes a wonderful week-end town or country suit, and seems to be all of the answers. Not withstanding the crazy hats of some of our top flight milliners whose creations "leave the earth" there are many good looking, comfortable, smart and attractive hats in the market. Hearts and flowers in shapes Suits Wanted and trims, are in the spirit of this spring 1942. We think the woman who fails to buy everything with an eye to the future is pretty dumb. If we are not realistic now, then the future will be very difficult for us.

We don't mean to suggest hoarding, but we certainly do need to exercise common sense in our buying year round wardrobes make sense. Nothing will ever take the place of wool in our winter or summer wardrobes. This spring brings us the finest values we have ever had and certainly the Improvement In American design is very marked. New Knitting Gadget If you are one who enjoys knitting, yet find that stitches have a way of slipping off the needles when you are not working on the article, you will want to try some of the new miniature bright colored plastic mittens that fit over the ends of the knitting needles. Besides keeping stitches safe, they also prevent nasty jabs.

New Wine Shades Wine is going to milady's feet instead of to her head. St. Louis shoe manufacturers, eyeing the increasing output of domestic wineries, decided they had an idea for new footwear shades. So now it's burgundy, port, sherry, muscatel, malaga and claret, attached to pairs instead of pints. To Keep Lingerie Frequency in washing and correct washing methods are two important factors in keeping lingerie lovely and long-wearing.

Pre-washing before wearing new lingerie is suggested for sake of daintiness. Use a very mild soap well dissolved in lukewarm water, handle gently, supporting the weight of the garment as much as possible with the hands while you douse it in the suds. Any extra soiled spots should be rubbed gently between the hands. Rinse in clear lukewarm water, squeezing the excess water out, not wringing, wrap in absorbent towel. Press while still damp with a moderately warm iron.

woman undertakes such a hard job as does the elderly one who tries to hold a young husband by keeping him amused. Nor is any woman's heart ever so torn with jealousy as is the one who knows that she is losing her boy-husband to some young playmate. But when a man is almost 40 he is no longer a boy. He is an adult. His character and his tastes are formed.

He knows the kind of a wife he desires and if he chooses one older than himself he has a better chance of happiness. Such a man almost invariably has the mother complex and what he really wants Is a mother instead of a wife. Before her marriage January 30 in the parsonage of St. Paul's Evangelical and Reformed church, Mrs. Arndt was Miss Dorothea Weeks.

She is the daughter of Mrs. Arthur Hall, 1508 Parkdale street. Mr. Arndt is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

C. F. Arndt of West St. Joseph street. The couple are now residing in their new home at 3225 South Washington avenue.

Fashion Rule in a world of uniforms and work clothes. For evening wear women are going to make up for whatever severity they introduce in the daytime. The after-dark creations are of the wildest and gaudiest colors, as well as the softest and daintiest. They are slinky end bouffant, frilly and plain, and bear not the slightest resemblance to anything military. Hats are "pretty, not silly." in the words of one designer whose collection included tiny little things to go over one eye, covered with flowers and veils.

Daytime hats, made to sit firmly on the head, and stay at their proper angel through a day of volunteer war work, will be a joy to women who have always felt insecure in the toy numbers of the past few seasons. To Remove Grease Remove grease and grime from mahogany furniture with a cloth wrung out in lukewarm water to which a little pure soap has been added. Dry with a dry soft cloth. BEDTIME By THORNTON Jimmy Remembers an Engagement There's none so bold he does not jind Some good excuse to look behind. Reddy Fox.

"Who is here for me to be afraid of?" asked Jimmy Skunk of Reddy Fox. "Who? Whoo-hoo-hoo?" called a voice over in the Green Forest. "Hooty the Owl wants to know who. too?" chuckled Reddy Fox. "Excuse me, if I seem to be rude, but I really can't stop here gossiping any longer," said Jimmy Skunk.

He spoke a bit hurriedly, it seemed to Reddy. "Don't let me keep you," replied Reddy. "Still I wish you wouldn't hurry away. It must be a wonder- "So Jimmy isn't afraid of anybody," he chuckled. ful feeling not to fear any one at all, but to have everybody respect you.

I suppose you are the only one around here not afraid of any one at all, not even man." "Whoo? Whoo-hoo-hoo?" called Hooty the Great Horned Owl over in the Green Forest, but his voice was louder than before. "It is, but I can't stop to talk about it now. I have an engagement at home. I've just remembered it. It is important.

I really must hurry along," said Jimmy. "Whoo? Whoo? Hoo! Hoo!" called Hooty. "Hooty must be hungry to be hunting at this time of day," said Reddy. "I judge he is coming this way; his voice sounds louder each time he hoots. I don't like that fellow.

No, sir, I don't like that fellow. Do you?" "No." replied Jimmy over his shoulder. "I don't like him at all." "I don't like the old robber because he spoils my hunting so often by getting there first, but I'm not afraid of him. He knows better than to pick a fight with me. But if I were your size and had only teeth and claws to fight with, I think I would be afraid of that fellow.

I really do. Listen to him! He must be right at the edge of the Green Forest. I wonder if he will dare come out here in broad daylight," said Reddy. "Whoo?" called Hooty. That certainly did sound as if Hooty was already out of the Green Forest.

Jimmy had been hurrying. That was surprising, for Jimmy Skunk seldom hurries. Now he broke into a gallop. Yes, sir. he did so.

"That engagement must be pretty important," said Reddy, trotting along behind, but taking In the future the Lansing Unity club will be known as the Unity Literary club. This was decided at the meeting Friday afternoon in the Women's clubhouse, when members voted to change the name to conform more with the type of organization. Although a little time was taken for a business session, members devoted most of the afternoon to Red Cross work, putting labels on baby garments and sewing buttons on shirts. Roll call was answered by telling a story or singing song. Those who did not respond were fined.

"If I didn't know that you ar not afraid of anybody. I would think that you are running awav from someone this very minute," said Reddy. "Whoo? Whoo?" called Eooty. and his voice was louder than ever. "You," chuckled Reddy.

"But. of course, that can't be so." Of course Hooty didn't hear him. If Jimmy did, he made no sign. He was too much concerned with keeping thai engagement at home. Yes.

sir, he was so. Once more Hooty hooted. Jimmy dived in through the doorway of his home. The last Reddy saw of him was a big plumey tail disappearing down the dark hall. For a moment Reddy stood staring after it.

Then he grinned broadly. "So Jimmy isnt afraid of anybody," he chuckled. Then he grew thoughtful. "I wonder why it is that that big Owl has no respect for Jimmy Skunk. Can it be that he doesn't have a sense cf smell?" Reddy isn't the only one who has wondered about that.

Certain it is that Hooty does not hesitate to catch one of Jimmy Skunk's family whenever he gets the chance. That scent gun that stops everyone else doesn't stop Hooty. He appears not to mind it at alL Jimmy knows it. So there is ore person of whom Jimmy Skunk is really afraid. Perhaps Mother Nature planned it so to keep him from becoming too independent.

Folks do get that way. you know. (Copyright by T. W. Bvrgcst) The next story: "Peter Eas a Fright." Then Dine in HOTEL OLDS DINING ROOM Karl B.

Drama is placed next to athletics by the government as recreation for men in camps, said Prof.

Kenneth T. Rowe of the University of Michigan Friday afternoon as he described to the Lansing Woman's club the administration of defense dramatics for camps by the National Theater conference. Addressing the club members at their meeting in the clubrooms on West Ottawa street, Professor Rowe told how his classes in play-writing at the university are contributing pertinent defense scripts and scripts designed to furnish escape from reality, for use during wartime. Professor Rowe Is advisor to the N. B.

C. radio drama section and a member of the American Educational Theater association, wording with the National Theater conference. His topic for the day was "Broadway in Review" and in describing the 1942 theater he compared It with the theater of 1916-18. when he said dramatic productions were at a low ebb. While romantic, sentimental comedies such as "Soldier Boy" and "Pollyanna" had the most success during the last war, serious plays, dealing with humanity problems rather than individual problems are far more successful this season than was expected when war broke out.

he revealed. In general, society's choice of plays today reflects a healthier state of mind than did the successes during the last war, he said, explaining that the war seems to have sensitized audiences to really good plays, while other productions, such as "Candle in the Wind" and "The Land Is Bright," which might have been hits ordinarily, are just short of being successful. Among the serious plays successful this season he named "The Wookey" just recently closed, "The Corn Is Green" and "Watch on the Rhine," all of which tell important stories, he pointed out. The popular comedies are brisk and hearty, such as "Life With Father." "Junior Miss," and "Claudia," all of them less sentimental than the comedy hits of the last war. Professor Rowe said.

New York city newspapers predicted at the outbreak of this war that escape plays, comedy and farce, would replace problem plays, but this prediction has come true only In that plays dealing with the problems of individuals have succumbed to plays dealing ith problems of humanity, the speaker said.

And so I say it is all right to keep your teeth clean, in fact it is esential to keep them clean, and there is but one way to do so, and that is by having them cleaned by your dentist at regular intervals. I say further that your dentist should carefully inspect your teeth at each periodic scaling and polishing and promptly treat any small cavities he may discover. And that is not all. I say it is every dentist's ethical duty to keep current files and see that every patient receives a reminder or notice by mail or by telephone when it is time for the patient to report for regular prophylactic inspection and treatment at such intervals as the dentist deems necessary for the particular individual's condition or requirement. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Canker Sores May I report my experience with the remedy for recurring canker sores? I suffered for years with frequent canker sores in mouth.

On reading your article telling of the value of nicotinic acid I immediately procured some and took 200 milligrams at the first dose. In an hour my entire body was as red as a beet and I felt as though I had been exposed to the sun. Pulse and everything else normal. This subsided in eight or ten hours. But next day my canker sores were obviously healing.

Never had such prompt relief before. Wrote you. On your suggestion, when canker sores again developed, some two months later. I took only 100 milligrams of nicotinic acid daily divided into two doses. This time, the sores quickly passed and there was no flushing of the skin or other unpleasant reaction.

(C. W. Answer Thank you. Certain individuals notice some flushing, redness and smarting of the skin or portions of the skin after taking nicotinic acid (one of the entities in the natural vitamin complex). It is annoying, that's all.

Nicotinic acid has proved a grateful remedy in many, cases of painful, recurring canker sores in mouth. Such sores should be touched once daily with equal parts of glycerin and tincture of iodine it smarts lor an instant, then i seems to relieve' the soreness. Also gently rinse mouth many times I daily with warm solution of tea-I spoonful of boric acid and tea-! spoonful common table salt in the pint of water. Avoid tooth- brushing and (' of course. Sturdy Dress a Simplicity in frock and frivolity in hats, with a dash of color from our Good Neighbors south, seem to keynote spring fashions, judging by early season shows.

With a defense angle to everything including a permanent wave, two schools of thought about women's fashions have developed. One side contends that women should be as conservative as possible in clothes, as to material, trimmings and cut. The other school contends that in such a dreary, war torn world women should dress as gaily as possible and be general cheerer-uppers. Spring fashions should satisfy both groups. For those who think that fem-ininty will help win the war and lean to the side of "escapist clothes." there are the gay colors from Mexico and South America which have found their way not only into resort and play clothes, but into daytime costumes.

Bright blue seems to lead, with various shades of light red, planned to lighten up that well-known "basic close seconds. Some designers are fooling around with costumes in khaki color, but they admit it is a hard color for most women to wear and takes a good deal of livening up. Navy blue and white, the everlasting spring combinations, will have the added lure this season of suggesting the patriotic. Set off with a dash of red, it makes a smart get-up. On the fabric front cotton seems slated to win.

What with synthetic fabrics being scarce (priorities take their makings) and all the silk we can get going into parachutes, cotton is destined to rule again. Some designers promise plenty of light-weight woolens. Others sigh over the convoy situation and search for substitutes. The suit and the suit dress promise not only to hold their present popularity, but to increase it. Suits are ideal as a "basic costume." They inspire an endless variety of blouses and accessories.

Many designers predict they will be worn by everybody before the all-out effort is relaxed. The suit dress, short jacket or long tunic, has the same advantages. The new spring ones have some frilly touches to help preserve the cherished feminine look want to see them again. Don't girls realize that there are plenty of decent fellows who would like a girl to be on her dignity and show that she had, at least, some self-respect? I know when I marry it will not be to one of these free and easy young women. I think boys are getting fed up with the kissing bugs, don't you? ONE OF MANY BOYS.

ANSWER: I can only hope and pray that they are for it is only you boys who can bring the modern girl to her senses and make her see not only how dangerous, but how disgusting it is for her to degrade herself to the level of the woman of the streets. Of course, there are girls who are nothing but sex and who under any circumstances would go their way, but all girls are not like that. There are plenty of them who are not like that. There are plenty of them who are not innately immoral and lacking in decency. Many who have mothers who have tried to bring them up properly, but who are so anxious for dates, so afraid of being left out of the crowd that they are willing to make the sorry bargain of trading their honor for a trip to the movies, or a hot dog and a soft drink.

They sell out cheap, cut rate prices on all that a woman should hold most dear. I get thousands of letters and I mean thousands from girls who tell me how they shrink from kisses from coarse mouths or from being pawed over by lecherous hands, how liquor sickens them, and how they loathe the petting that they must submit to in payment for a date. But, they say, that if a girl won't pet she is shelved, the boys will have nothing to do with her. So she pays the price. So it is up to you decent boys to save the girls of your generation.

Put a price on purity and modesty. Refuse to go about with loose living girls. That is what your father and your grandfather did. No man in their day would marry a girl whose skirts were not clean, and that is why girls kept themselves pure and saved their kisses for the men they married. Women always live up to what men demand of them.

The prevailing notion in this country no matter how it became popular is that one who wishes vc have good, sound teeth and save 'en has only to brush 'em regularly and with just the right twist of the wrist and and, oh, yes. see his dentist now and then. The latter requirement, however, is not to be taken too seriously, for. Enures, if one uses the toothbrush and dentifrice religiously of course will keep one's teeth in the state the nice man glorifies with color and music and so it would be ijiily to run 'to a dentist, wookm't it.

Time to squander pood money on dentist when mere's something the matter that toothbrush and dentifrice can't correct. in plain language like that the notion seems pretty silly. Nevertheless it is the notion of a vast majority of people at the present time and. sad to say, it is virrssily supported and endorsed by. of all people, the dentists them-eies.

Believe it or not, in the course of the many years I have been Irving to teach people the fallacy of that notion the most vehement retorts have come from dentists. Not all dentists, thank heaven, but a great many of them fell so hard for the absurrj slogan trial a "dean tooth never decays" that they drifted into obsolescence with the idea indelibly fixed in mind, and there is little hope of re-ecucaung them now.

We have been thrown together by our work and have found ourselves most companionable and congenial and have been engaged now for more than a year.

We have spent most of our evening's in each other's company and our attachment has grown all the time. But the difficulty is that he is a man in his late thirties and I am a woman in my early fifties, yet he is a man who is old for his age and I am a woman who is young for mine. We have talked the matter over often and he is perfectly satisfied with my age and often says that I am a person who will never grow old. We are two lonely souls. Shall we go our separate ways because of this disparity in our age.

or shall we marry and make a home together? MRS. M. H. ANSWER: Undoubtedly age is one of the most important factors in determining the success or failure of a marriage, and, as a rule, it is a fatal thing for the woman to be the elder, but there are exceptions to all rules and yours seems to be a case in point. From what you write I talke it that you are about 14 or 15 years older than your fiance.

If he were a boy in his early twenties and you were getting along towards forty, the risk would be too great to take because he would be an immature boy, with his tastes unformed, without knowing what he really wanted in a wife and with his desire for amusement still unsatisfied, while you would be what we call a "settled" woman who had seen the show of life and were a little tired of it and wanted nothing so much as a home of your own. A Point to Consider You would seem more like a mother than a wife to him. People would tease him about having married Ma and he would be ashamed of you. and in a little while the inevitable would happen youth would call to youth and he would fall in love with some girl of his own age. And if it is a mistake for a bov to marry a middle-aged woman, it Is trebly a mistake for ber, for no He wants someone who will make him a comfortable home, who will pet him and coddle him and spoil him and not make the demands upon him that a young wife would.

Girls, Watch Your Conduct DEAR MISS DIX: Why is it that so many girls in these times make themselves so cheap? I am a young man and meet many pretty, smart girls to whom I am greatly attracted at first, but no sooner do they take a cocktail or two and it is all spoiled. They are ready to pet and give themselves to any chap, body and soul, and I am so disgusted with them that I never RAFT SERVICE. INC PATTERN 2808 of stitches: color schemes: materials required.
