FIJI DAY, Al'CTST 1941 THE MIAMI DAILY NEWS I'Afli: SF.VKNA Angelo Patri Gives Letter From Mother Of Enlisted Men Who Wants To Look Smart For Son's Sakes Patricia Lindsay H'flilll'S 1 mm kindly advise me how to keep as beautiful as possible? An American Mother." If every soldier's mother fiaf the spirit shown Iti that letter we as a nation, would have little to fear from any aggressor. She has given four sons to this country, runs her home and in odd hours serves her country directly. Besides her full program as a patriotic woman, she is concerned about her personal grooming and beauty and mind you. not bo-cause she Is vain but because she wants to be a credit to five grand lads! lip into a haphazard way of grooming. I know I have been careless at times when trying to cram too much Into the working hours.

"I have silvery gray hair, rather sallow complexion, grey eyes, height five feet three Inches, and I weigh about 130 pounds. "Please advise me about complexion care for rather dry skin, also hand care. I want my soldier sons to be proud of their mother In every way when they come home or when I visit them, and I realize the best time to begin this care is now. Will you Textile Designs On Exhibit Depict Life Scenes, Food 'Breakfast 'Kitchen Various Others Make Good Wall Hangings; Printed On Linen Ily MAIJr.L. FKAMPTON Wnman'i Editor) Tapestries of old tell the story of events in ancient times that aid history in recording many phases of life during those centuries which otherwise would be lost to the world today.

In the future, life in America may be recorded for posterity in much the same way if the textiles on display at the Miami art center, Miami Woman's club, 1737 North Bayshore drive, are any criterion. il- 7, Duval Jewelry Company DIAMOND' CREATIONS DEDICATED TO SUMMER BRIDES!

On the wall is the "Hudson" scene that is now being exhibited at the Miami Art Center, Miami Woman's club, by the WPA Art project. Miss Dickson holds one of the finger-brush paintings made for a textile design, by Allie Mae Kitchens, Coral Gables Daily News Studio. diamond.

Wedding ring to match of solid yellow gold. YOUR INDIVIDUAL HOROSCOPE Textiles by Ruth Reeves consists of a collection of printed fabrics in original designs that reach the fantastic stage but would make a quite colorful piece to hang on the wall. For instance, he tells the "history of the music hall" which is used as a wall hanging at Radio City and this shows in bold designs of blue, brown, beige colors the variety of life at this place. The most unusual and delightful of all is the one captioned "breakfast" which looks like nothing else but a distinct nightmare of food on a "morning after the night before." Fried eggs with very red yellows, pitchers with egg blossoms, toast, fruit, a table setup, and various other things grace the piece of lsnen in bright colors of orange, red and black. When iCs hanging on the wall, however, it makes a distinctly bright piece.

A very artistic one is he "Hudson Pviver" scene, displaying in soft tones of green and yellow an estate situated on a river with mountains in the background and a steamer plying its way up the stream. It's quite realistic and with the scene repeated several times creates a nice pattern. Another shows the life of a playboy. This time figures are made block style in black and red displayed in huge squares; one shows a dueling scene, another soldiers marching, and a hunting scene; altogether a pretty ensemble, These examples reveal the art- AMERICA'5 Smtu BIG 16 OZ.

ists search for a new and personal textile expression. She constantly experiments with aesthetic forms, textures and technical media. Miss Reeves works much as does, a painter, evolving original abstract symbols, creating designs that reflect scenes in everyday life. At present Miss Reeves is in Guatemala, where she was aent by the Carnegie Institute, to make a series of, designs depicting life in that country. She has two examples on exhibit now in this same display that are excellent in their interpretation of Indian lore.

Miss Reeves is a. pupil of Kenneth Hayes Miller in New York and F. Lcger of Paris. Other pieces of her work are to be found in the Cleveland Museum of art and the Radio City Music Hall. A second Guggenheim Fellowship has been awarded Miss Reeves to continue her Guatemalan textile designs.

This display is another one constantly circuited by the National Exhibition section of the WPA Art Program in Washington, D. C. Another type of art that may come into great prominence in the future, particularly for wallpaper designs and textiles, is the finger-brush painting. Miss Allie Mae Kitchens, artist-teacher from the staff of the Coral Gables art center, uses her fingers for painting as a means of graphically depicting rhythmic patterns for transfer on to textiles through a silk screen process and obviating the older style of wood-blocking, now used. If her experiments are suc-ceaful she will start a free class at the Art center for women who are interested in this form of craftsmanship for use in their own homes as tapestries, couch covers, chair cushion covers and even into materials for their dresses.

Who knows, but each gal will be able, in the future, to work out a print depicting her own home life and immortalizing the antics of children and animals in the printed dresses she wears. She could even wear a different dress each day showing what events were to take place that day, such as the childish song tells "Monday is wash day through the week. Amateurs Perform At Macfadden-Deauville First of a series of amateur talent nights took place at the Macfadden Deanville cabana club Wednesday, with hotel guents, visitors and members of the cabana colony participating. Horace Hal served as master of ceremonies. The impromptu performances had the surf as a back-drop and a circle of gayly lighted cabanas as their setting.

TAXES! I II I Says Simplicity Is Number One Virtue NEW YORK, Aug. 15. If only one vlrturc could be taught and stressed In the education and training of children my choice would be simplicity. It covers all the others. The direct simple way Is always th best -way.

Simplicity allows no useless words, no hidden meanings, no disguise of any kind so that truth Is In it, and honor, and goodwill. People are just people no matter what color they are, no matter what their social position, creed and ambitions Stripped of pretensions, cleared of all shams, face to face with actuality, they are just people in need of each in need of understanding and goodwill. It Is best to treat them that way. That is easy enough to say but most difficult to do because we are Influenced by airs, graces, attitudes, clothes, backgrounds, and all the trappings with which men and women have surrounded themselves so as to deceive life into passing by their weaknesses and fears and defects. In the end life catches up with them In terms of actuality.

With" experience comes understanding and the simple ways of life stand out clearly as the ways of peace both spiritual and physical. Simplicity -r Is healthy and wholesome. It attracts healthy- minded, wholesome friends. Worthwhile people are people of sturdy character and they are to be found in every department of life. Rear children In simplicity.

Simplicity of outlook, of manners, dress and behavior and they will honor themselves and those who reared them.

Aug. 15 Today I am going to let you read a let ler which should Inspire every mother who has a son In active service, or for that matter it should inspire any womaiy who has a man serving his country. "Dear Miss Lindsay," It reads, "I am a woman in my early 50s, certainly old enough to be a grandmother. But four of my five sons ire In active aervlce and my youngest will soon be in training. "Of course, like most soldiers' mothers, I fill the hours apart from home duties In service work.

But when West saw the dummy his heart sank. There was simply no way to give East the lead. Dummy had the top clubs, and the queen of diamonds spelled doom to any attempt in that auit. For a fleeting moment.

West toyed with the idea of leading the top diamonds' in that East could ruff the third round of the suit. But that plan, West soon realized, was bound to come to nothing even if East happened to have only two diamonds. For South was bound to have a five-cahd heart suit, and West could see the other eight hearts In his own hand and the dummy, East couldn't possibly trump diamonds if he didn't have a trump In his hand. Since nothing else had a chance to succeed, West simply shifted to the deuce of diamonds! Declarer had no way of knowing what West was doing, so he played dummy's 10 of diamonds. East managed to conceal his surprise when he found himself winning the trick witli the jack of diamonds; and just returned a spade for West to ruff, quite as though, nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

At.thU point West might have tried to cash both top diamonds In order to set the contract, but he feared that South had only one more diamond (as was actually the case). Another ruff was needed, so West calmly led the seven of diamonds! South really should have put up dummy's queen, but he was so convinced that East held at least one top diamond, that he played dummy's low diamond. So East won with the diamond nine and gave his partner ft second ruff to defeat the contract.

"The only way to learn to walk miles without getting very tired Is to begin right now today to walk at least two miles every day. At the end of the month, resolve to walk three miles a day" a famous beautician says, "All walking should be done on flat heels, with weight on the outside of the feet and toes pointed forward.

Take big steps. And do not let the upper half of the body settle down Into hip sockets. Keep chest high, stomach in, with lower ribs pulled up and away from hips." You can push a heavier load without danger of straining yourself if you will keep knees slightly bent, base of spine tucked under and center of the back pushed out back as far as possible. When knees are straight and there is a deep hollow in the middle of the backbone, you cannot push as heavy a load. And even the lighter load that you can push may cause you to strain your back or rupture the abdominal wall.

If you want to learn to carry a pack on your back, get out the snapshots you took last year of your fishing guide, and study his posture. Notice that when he had a pack on his back there was absolutely no hollow in his backbone, ll'ti seemed to lean slightly forward and the center of his back was pushed out and back until it touched the pack. He never seemed to get tired. And it you straighten out your own spinal column Instead of going around with a hollow in the middle of It, you won't, either whether you have to carry a pack or lift weights or do any of the other hard jobs that are part of the various civilian defense drills.

Emily Post Tells Bride To Be Frank NEW YORK, Aug. 15.

Not because they are necessary to the rehearsal itself, but because of their natural interest in the wedding, the groom's family should of course be made to feel that they will be welcome at the rehearsal if they would like to go to it. Many letters have been asking this question. One bride's mother thinks, however, that having the other parents at the rctunrxnl will complicate her plans for giving a party afterward. She kxplains: "I want to have dinner just for the bridal party and my daughter thinks that her future in-laws as well as all other older relatives would be out of place. For this reasop she wasn't going to invite them to the rehearsal at the church.

But we understand that they mean to go to the rehearsal and will probably come even though nothing is said. By this same token could they expect to come to dinner afterward that is, just take it for granted that they are ta go where t'neir son goes?" I can't imagine that they would go to your house without an Invitation. But I think it would be more friendly, certainly, in the part of their future daughter-in-law, to take them frankly into her confidence and say: "The rehearsal will be at six o'clock at the church and of course we'd love to have you come if you care to." Meanwhile, It should be easy enough fur John to tell his parents that the dinner after the rehearsal. Is Just for the members of the brldul party In other words, for young people.
