ELLO, EVERYBODY:
Here, boys and girls, is one of the strangest yarns I have
seen in a long time—sent to me by Edward E. Kaplan of New
York City. It is a story that takes us to India, the land of oddity
and mystery—to the year 1928 when, as Ed says, wild animal
films were coining money for their producers.
Ed is a movie cameraman, and that's how he happened to be in
India with a crew that was taking animal pictures. They were in the
Rajmahal hills, near Karharbari, in Behar province—quartered at the

First Free Rural Mail
The first free rural mail delivery
in the United States is said to have
originated from the postoffice at
Thibodaux, La., 60 miles west of
New Orleans. It comprised terri-
tory between Thibodaux and Laba-
dieville Crossing, and also on both
banks of the bayou. The service
was established as an experiment
and proved successful, due to the
dense population of the section. The
territory from Thibodaux to Race-
land, along the south bank of Bayou
Lafourche, is the most thickly set-
tled rural population in the world.
Seeds to the Pound
Seed dealers talk glibly of the
numbers of seed to the pound; did
you know that lobelias run 12,000,000
seed to the pound, and that there
are more than 4,000,000 tiny poten-
tial red clover plants in one pound?
Steel Stronger in Alloy

Incunabula Defined

cradle days of printing, books print-
known incunabula represent about

Finnish Lapland
Finnish Lapland is an extensive,
thinly peopled domain, in which
waste lands, desolate plateaus, enor-
mous forests, wide bogs, and swift
rivers alternate for more than 300
miles. There are fewer lakes there
than in southern Finland.

You can get most any type of a
bolero outfit you happen to want
which counts a lot when you are
choosing a fashion “first” for
spring. A simple tailored model is
very practical in that with a supply
of diverse blouses and a collection
of intriguing accessories your bo-
lero costume comes well nigh
serving as a whole wardrobe in it-
self.
If you decide on a tailleur we
would suggest that you look for a
tweed in the ultra smart new wheat
color or if navy or black be your
preference you will be able to find
models galore tailored of wool twills
(watch twills for they are going
big) or of gaberdine or of dependa-
ble crepe or that which will carry
the summer through, triple sheer.
See to it that the bolero be duly
equipped with trim little pockets,
For those whose fancy turns to

is such a vast
outpouring from style sources you
coming on when you try to make a
a wide binding or bordering of ani-
mated print to which a gypsy sash
is matched. Then again the entire
bolero is of the print with sash to
match.
With object in mind of calling at-
tention to the widely diverse trends
interpreted in the now-so-important
bolero costume, the three models
were carefully selected from among
a showing of advance fashions de-
signed by the Style Creators of Chi-
cago in the wholesale district. These
are typical of what you will find in
leading shops and departments dur-
ing the coming months
In the center of the group we pre-
sent a charming dress of navy
crepe, its modish bolero effectively
trimmed in white nailheads. ‘‘They
say'' navy is going to be an out-
standing color choice for spring. In
fact, all blues are good with espe-
cial emphasis on the new gray
blues. Here's another “pointer:’ try
with a navy bolero suit a blouse
and sash in a soft violet shade,
with which wear a boutonniere of
spring violets, with plenty of self
leaves in cool green.
Sugar sacking in the very, very
new wheat color makes the costume
fo the left. It has a brown print
silk blouse with sash to match. The
meticulously tailored bolero has the
smart military influence
Ideal for spring is the sheer wool
crepe in beige outfit pictured to the
right. The revers in tuxedo style
are of cat lynx, the tawny colorings
of which tune admirably to the gen-
eral scheme of things. The fur-
trimmed bolero is a fashion high-
light that is destined to shine bright-
ly in the style parade, so be sure to
keep your eye upon it. In conclud-
ing we just thought you might like
to know that in the shops you can
find the most fascinating boleros of
colorful suede with belts or
sashes to match. Wear them with
any skirt or dress and you'll be
classed with the best-dressed.

LACE RESORT MODE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
smears en
Whether for active or for specta-
tor sports this cotton lace dress is
just the thing for wintering in the
South or taking along on a cruise,
and then keeping until spring, when
it will serve delightsomely for warm
days. The dress is cool and color-
ful and does not rumple easily,
which is important for long, hot
days, also an argument in its favor
when it comes to packing for trav-
el. The scalloped edges and the
contrasting belt are new notes for
the classic two-piece frock.

ants and styled them for the newest
belt modes. Skilled peasants, both
men and women, have transferred
the gay designs to linen and hand-
loomed jute belts.
The linen belts in natural or chalk
white have bright woolen flowers
embroidered on them. The edges
are finished with a button-hole stitch
of the cheerful yarn. All of them
are finished with amusing and
unique shaped buckles of natural
colored wood, hand-painted with
tiny flowers.
The hand-loomed jute belts that
are perfect with suits, sweaters
and light woolen frocks are also
embroidered in bright yarns.
These belts are washable and of
fast colors. They are in time for
the crepe frocks of spring and sum-
mer.
Hats of Youthful Drape
Style Shown by Milliners
Youthful draped hats are the lead-
ing contributions of Paris milliners,
and a variety of new designs has
been launched for wear with cos-
tumes of leading couture houses.
Still rising skyward with a for.
ward movement, the newest hats
have height in modified form to ef-
fect a lengthened silhouette without
giving an exaggerated line.
Berets, toques and turned up
brims, worn well back on the head
or poised to one side, are leaders
among the new types.
