TREND OF FASHIONS IN HOLLYWOOD
Diminutive, slender Lily Pons is right in the front rank of Holly- wood's best dressed opera stars "Hitting a New High," the song- bird's latest picture, is a choc a bloc with fascinating
ensembles The most striking is a silver sequin dinner gown, with white pique cuffs and collar providing an un- usual and effective trim, worn over a heavy taffeta ship to give it body and rustle. Miss Pons be- lieves in jewels in a big way, de- corating her brunette hair with stars of brilliants, fastening the collared neck with a diamond- studded bow, plus three diamond and sapphire bracelets on her arm." A luxurious knee-length silver fox cape tops the sophisticated dress.
Another romantic dancing frock in the same picture is of fine coral net and features tier upon tier of pleated
the ruffles, enhancing
gown's bouffant skirt and dropped shoulder line. Transparent mother of pearl flowers are sprinkled around the neck and shoulders. With this. Miss Pons wears jewelled choker at her neck and bracelets on her left wrist.

CHILDREN WHO SEE FAMILY FEUDS TAKE SIDES
No man can serve two masters,
and neither can a child serve par- ents, whose ideas clash in the mat- ter of raising youngsters...
If father and mother must quarrel over the way,
their children are to
be brought up, let them quarrel în private. If they have the welfare
of their children at heart, let them agree on certain fundamental prin- ciples. If they can't agree, hold a family election and give one the job of doing the talking and disciplin- ing
The father may believe that every- thing the child wishes should be granted. If the child cries for a stickpin daddy may say out loud within the child's hearing, “Oh, there's not one chance in a thousand of the kid swallowing it. Let him have it."

Mother remembers when the boys. called on her and stayed late and how her father seriously objected. Consequently she makes up her mind that her 14-year-old daughter is go- ing to have several boy callers.
Fathers, who know little about girls, thinks all boys are bad and says, "Marie is not to have any boy friends until she is through college.”
This home discord has just the same effect upon the children of the house that discord between two partners has among the sales force in the store. If the bosses are quarreling business goes to smash. If parents disagree and quarrel openly, the children are either dis- mayed or take sides.
