Joan Crawford will take dance musle every time. And Clau- dette Colbert, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astalre rarely fail to listen to Major Bowes' amateur hour. ir ff Marlene Dietrich got what she want. ed again. After fussing with Para. mount over “I Loved a Soldier,” and announcing that she'd go to Europe as fast as she could get there, to make a picture, she stayed In Hollywood, did some effective talking, and landed the role of leading lady in “The Gar. den of Allah,” which Merle Oberon was supposed to make. Which means that now there's even less love lost be- tween the two. Miss Oberon probably will do “Dark Victory” now, wifi Doris Dudley, whom you'll see before long in an R X O picture, believes that you've got to be goofy if you're going to get along either on the stage or on the screen. As she's a remarkably clever actress, (though she has had very little experience) she is likely to become one of our most important Charlie Chaplin pearance on the screen If you like to be in on film history, —i Ann Sothern had a grand time In New York, where she once appeared in musical comedy as Harriet Lake. Like all new arrivals from Hollywood, the one play she wanted to see was “Queen Victoria,” Helen Hayes’ current success, And like all the others, she left cheering. She is so pretty that people turn on the street to stare at her; they don’t recognize her, as a rule, but she has no illusions about her own great. ness so that doesn’t bother her—and unlike some of her co-workers, she doesn’t go In for dark glasses and oth. er similar invitations to be recognized as a celebrity. ws Fred MacMurray seems to be the fair haired boy on the Paramount lot these days -— perhaps because Gary Cooper seems inclined to sign with Samuel Goldwyn when his present con tract expires.

Prints this season have an en- tirely new and refreshing look. New techniques and new patterns make current prints defi. nitely 1936 and not ecarry-overs. The latest treatment for daytime prints spaces tiny amusing motifs over the brackground. These miniature ob- jects are frequently used Instead of the dot theme, Animals are popular in patternings. Horses, and cunning dogs are decoratively delineated. Barn yard themes Include roosters, tiny pigs, ducks and fiying birds. Even fish and fowl have become print-consclous while butterflies dart over many of the mod- ern silks, As to flower prints, daytime florals are the most infinitesimal In years Small bright florals spattered here and there, tiny bouquets and single flowers give silk prints a decidedly different look this season. Larger, more con- splcuous flowers are reserved for after noon and evening. Gorgeous florals on black, white or colored ground re flect exotic beauty. The woman who diets will find the new vegetable and fruit prints quite to her liking. Radishes, carrots, beets. peppers, parsnips and tiny ears of corn thrive on silk crepe and silk shantung grounds. Fruit prints abound in the mode via apples, cherries, plums, straw. berries and grapes In discreet and col orful patternings. The newer prints also Inclure landscapes, newspapers, music notes, the alphabet and Roman numeral motifs, Twin prints are news. Printed silk taffeta Is combined with silk crepe In twin prints for jackets and redingote ensembles, Silk mousseline coats match the design of the printed slik crepe frocks worn under them, When one dares to think of the nov- A elty and chic of the new silk prints in the same breath with the novelty and chic of the accessories that will be worn with them the situation be. comes positively exciting. For ex- ample, jewelers are playing up to the charming and beguiling eccentricities of the new silks by creating vegetable and fruit dress clips, bracelets, buckles and various other gadgets of colorful enamel and other composition, some. times using bright stone settings to convey the idea, Gloves too have entered Into the con- spiracy, coming out in colors to match the bright hues of the prints The very attractive young women pictured are, as one sees at a glance, thoroughly fashion-wise as to what is modish In slik prints and flattering ac- cessories. The seated figure is wear. ing a gown made of a silk print that spaces miniature butterflies Instead of the traditional dot. The three but terfly bows of starched lace down the front of the buttoned jacket-blouse to- gether with white roses on her cun- ningly veiled sallor of lustrous straw give a sprightly touch.

GABARDINE SUIT By CHERIE NICHOLAS The perfect talloring of this distin. guished suit is achieved by the use of fine wool gabardine which neither wrinkles or stretches and is never too heavy for comfort. The jacket is sub- tly fitted. It has two slash pockets set In at the sides. The straight cut skirt has the popular Inverted pleat at cen ter front, so that the skirt Is amply full for walking but keeps a slim silhouette line. To Match Prints One of the new idens that Paris 1s advancing ts that of porceluin jewelry painted to match the printed dresses with which it Is worn, SPORTS-TYPE SILK FASHION HIGHLIGHT In the realm of sports-type silks many newcomers are listed Silk surah Is a fashion highlight this sea- son, Designers are using it in mono tones, and in dotted or striped effects. Silk shantung is also a great fa vorite. The printed silk shantungs are especially smart used alone or in combination with plain. White silk shantung Is the chosen medium for many of the handsomest summer tailleurs shown. It tallors beauti- fully and launders to perfection. Other sports-type silks Include silk foulards, silk seersucker and striped silk crepe. White silk serge, silk pique, silk jersey, parachute silk, checked silk sailcloth, also plain or plaid silk crepe are of intriguing in- terest. It is well to familiarize oneself with these pew silks, In order to buy intelligently and acquire clothes “you love to wear.” Use Discretion in Color Accents in Accessories Colored gloves for spring ares estab- lished, but the chic of this fashion lies in the discretion and taste with which the accent color is applied. Browns, rust or chaudron, and blues are the best accent for gray. Red and rose are gayer but not as smart, The new violine ranges are smart with blues, and with the marine blue of Molyneux, the cyclamen shades are extremely smart, | i &B As Told to: FRANK E.

In the cold frosty dawn the farmer hurried out to the barn and peered around the corner. Sure enough, there were the geese sit. ting quietly out in the middle of the pond. He stepped out Into the open and raised his weapon. Immediately the geese set up a terrific clamor. The next moment their threshing wings were carrying them high Into the air and with them went the farmer's pond—frozen solidly to thelr legs. Citizens of northern New York now forward with dread to the com- ing of every winter. They are afraid that a large flock of wild geese may some time alight on Lake Ontario, that a sudden change will freeze it to the legs of the big birds and that they will Jose their lake just as the farmer lost his pond.
