The tremendous power of the theater was dynamically illustrated in the talk Harold A.

The hostesses asked the local women who are 9 their patronesses and the entire Beta Gamma Upsilon chapter to hear Mr. Ehrensperger give countless evidences of the ability of the drama to make characters come alive; to lift audiences out of the workaday world and set them thinking. The speaker, widely 2 j)T' By ALICE ALDEN We could fill columns with glove news this season.

Take our word that most of the season's handwear is several inches longer than heretofore, that supple fabric is frequently combined with sturdy leather, for a better fit, and that there's a glove for every hour of the clock from angora mitts to sequin-streaked doeskins. The capeskin-backed gloves, toned to the striped suit, above, are stitched to the cuff and, in this picture, worn with a tucked felt hat, just to give you inspiration. For the dinner hour we suggest the velvet-backed gloves, at left, palmed in wool to match the sheer wool dress. Again the hat is in sympathy, being a Spanish number veiled in velvet dots. Mr.

First, don't treat baby's wash like the rest of the laundry handle his things just as you wduld your own nice things wash everything he wears in Lux. His shirts and dresses, little stockings, blankets yes, and diapers.

Do you know why you need an especially mild soap for diapers? Harsh laundry soaps are apt to contain harmful alkali and rubbing with a cake of soap fuzzes the surface. If you don't get out every bit of soap some of the alkali may cling to the diaper. Here's how to wash them. Put diapers to soak right away. Then, once a day, wash them out in rich, hot Lux suds.

Boiling them once or twice a week is enough. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly, of course, and dry them out of doors, in the sunshine. They're fresh and sweet and really clean. His sweaters of course you'll do like your own. You can buy drying frames in regular sizes also frames for his socks and shirts.

But if you don't want to go to that expense it's perfectly simple to draw an outline of the garment on plain heavy paper before you wash it then squeeze it gently in rich, cool Lux suds, ease it to shape afterwards and pin it to dry on the outline. In washing, be sure to have your suds extra rich and almost cool and your rinse waters the same temperature as the suds. You shouldn't have any trouble with shrinking that way. If you want to keep the wool soft and unmatted be sure not to rub with cake soap. Here's a thrifty tip.

As the baby grows, stretch his sweaters a little more than the outline each time. and they'll continue to fit him for ai long time, Births Mr. and Mrs. Francis Pavletich, 446 Freeland avenue, Calumet City, are the proud parents of twins, a boy and, a girL born Oct. 23 at the Chicago Lying-in hospital.
