Lapiare of Leland Stanford University, and. Dr, Carlo Lastruc- ti of San Francisco State College, They reported on the results of thar study of 100 successful band leaders, from whom they. had ex- tracted answers to questionairés. The professors said they found out, from it, that dance band mu- sicians lead very non-typical lives, 'and that their idealization of early jazs band leaders, such as Beider- becke, "border on religious wor- ship." . Lead No Stable Existence Other findings of the savantis follow: "Their working activities are such that all their other ac- tivities are affected. Working con- ditions determine how, when and where these men eat and sleep. They enforce an average of at least ten changes of residence a year, They offer no economic security, And they preclude quite largely the achievement of family, home or friends, outside the oc- cupation, as roots of a stable ex- istence." "While the dance band musician is as :ikely to be married as are - other men of his age group, at its best, marriage can. only mean a wife who is expensively and per- petually moved from place to place, Thus, the married dance band musician ordinarily, particu- larly if he -has_ children, leaves his wife behind and sees her when he can." 1940 Glamor Girl An Elegant Lady Expetgs Picture The Ideal Girl 0Of'1940 To Be In the Style" of the Duchessiof Kent ---- Slender, But Well-Rounded Glamour, 1940--how will it dif. fer from 19397 And who will best iypify it?

Those children who grow up without learning to like books are missing not only lifelong friends, 'happy hours, but the pleasures of "knowledge and tools fd* carving - careers. The child who isn't "book. ish" can profit just as much as the student, says Toni Taylor, in Mec. Call's, "Which child f(s yours? The dreamer? The gamin? The tom. boy? The student? Whichever he 1s, you have it in. your power to open to him a world filled with nis particular magic, He will begin to learn, with the first piéture books you show to him, that these are ox- eitihg new acquaintances; and then that they are loved and trusted Telends, Help in Interests; Activities "There arg so many things that books: will mean to your growing boy or girl.

So they dine out reg ularly while Bart's money dwin- dles, They spend right and left for other things. But Bart fecls sure Iris will settle down soon. CHAPTER 1V It was Bart himself who brought home the little budget book, a month later. After spending rath- er a bad hour with his accounts, and figures. After discovering that" two could not only live as cheap- "ly as one, but instead, could not, apparently, live for three times what it cost one! After the cold figures told him that he had spent at- the rate of $25 -or better a for the two of them! "Food, including , milk, fruit, meat, vegetables, $9," the little budget book said. And offered lists of groceries, as well as menus for each meal, allowing for guests and entertainment! Bart brought that little black book home as if he'd found Alad- din's magic lamp. "After reading those delicious sounding menus, he felt actually hungry to begin eat- ing on one right away! In the little apartment, spic and span, order reigned. The dishes were washed, the dish towels drift- ing on the June breeze, and in the open kitchen casement win- dow, the pot of navecissi smiled whitely in the warm sun, Iris always came home' an hour "before he did. The dean's office closed at' 4, and he rarely man- aged to close up the shop before 6.80. But as usual, there was no array of pans and kettles on the little gas range, and no collection of utensils and food in stages of preparation, on the porcelain --topped-table,- Dining, Dancing Out In the bathroom, a high sweet contralto 'sang happily. Obviously his 'little wife was having herself: a tub and shower. And on the bed*- was spread a billowing concoction of pale 'green organdie -flounces, with a deep, leaf green satin sash, and a big floppy milan hat of green straw.

The elms, lacy fronds against a pale blue sky, and the sun hot 'and mellow over everything, The drowsy hum of inscets, and the shrill, happy clamor of children playing marbles, playing hop- scotch, playing hide-and-seek. It was curious that in all this beauty, Tie could feel s0 hollow, so empty and scared. So panicky. Then Iris came out, trailing her pale blue chenille robe about her, her ivory shoulders bare and glowing, rising above the robe caught together carelessly, her slender legs and thighs pecking in and out as she hurried to find . fresh lingerie, stockings, powder and make-up. "Hurry, Bart darling," was her slightly absent greeting, when she noticed him sitting there by the window, "we'll be late if you don't. You'll have to get a bath and dress.

Iris; bending over the hope of curbing their extravagant mdoe of living to a scale he could encompass, the memory of Ellen with them at the new Bay-shore Plaza, and 'then go to the new play the Guild was putting on, had completely slipped his mind, "Did you remember to bring flowers for Ellen, dear?" Iris ask- ed, smoothing on rouge with swift deft strokes before her vanity dresser. "Flowers? Ellen? What for?" he demanded sharply. Iris faced her hand with the powder-puff- arrested halfway to her chin, "But darling," she exclaimed perplexedly, "you always Dring your hostess flowers. when you dine out!' Bart stood up, taking his okt off carefully. It was too warm for his" winter suit these days, but he couldn't afford a summer suit; for that matter he couldn't afford to have his old summer. suit fixed up so he could wear it. "That's only for a thank. -you when you dine at home, Iris.' not _ dining out at a shore place. ud He did not. add, "I'll probably is always wool-gathering when the check comes- around, even if his wife. does do the invitifg" It would make no difference eithar way to Iris. She was a stickler for doing the smart thing, the correct gesture always, Only it ran into steep costs at times. + "We can't accept their invita. - tions and not even bring 'Ellen a Bart! With sum- mer flowers in, and so inexpen- sive, too." "Ellen will manage," he said drily, "if John comes up to scratch, she'll have a corsage way ahead of anything I could: afford to bring her." He laid out his shaving kit and turned thd hot water on in the tub. Rubbing the shaving lather over his face, he 'watched Iris in the mirror over the wash-bowl, that reflected squarely the entire wall of the bedroom beyond, "We're eating at home tomor- row, honey," Bart said casually, cutting a neat lane through the drift of lather and faint stubble, "I've got. a surprise for you." . "Oh Bart, not company!" Iris exclaimed petulantly, "When yon know how much I have to do at the office, and .all this besides.": Bart grinned silently at the "all - this." He did more than half the * housework around the little apart- - 'ment, and: thus far, they'd eaten . took her home-making seriously, -"No,-not- company, honey. Just. and menus and buying and plan- ning 'meals. So we can begin to save a little," "It costs. almost as wiuch to live at home, Bait, as it does to dine out," Iris argued, "with pric. es the way they are." - "You don't see any restaurant -- en going broke-do you, Iris? No; and you won't. And this book tells how we can eat like- kings on a third of what it's costing us now. Better: food, home cooked, and at a third the cost." Iris said nothing. But the tiny line between her wide violet eyes* was. warning that she was think ing intently. Life of hte Party All that evening, Iris was the life of 'the party. She flirted with staid John Kent when she danced with him, and teased Bart con- stantly, She kept them all in gales of merriment. She _had such a. . grand time horself it was a shock' | to discover it was time to go oh- to the play: And then all at once it was 11, and they were home . Saaln, and, 'yawning sleepily to bed. Next day, Bart managed to shut the curtains as soon ds the whis- tles blew, and didn't 'answer ' knocks on: the door as: he made everything fast for the 1 ight, But Iris was home ahead of him, Iris, ham gown with a ragged tear in one puffed sleeve and a tea towel « pinned| bewitchingly. about' her "stove, hurrying to. and fro, study. ing a cookbook.

When Iris answered ' thé -meal*.wvas on the table, Iris wasn't' hungry. She was too tired to cat. Too hot. There was too much to do.' "Besides; you want to ccono- 'mize, Bart, and you'll save what- ever I might eat." He grinned, not taking it seri- ously, It was too silly, really, to take in any other light than as a joke. Only she didn't eat. And he did not guess she had had a sand-, wich and a glass of milk and small cupcake before starting her cul- inary preparations, After dinner, when all efforts to coax her into eating some of the really good dinner failed, Bart tried to make her lie. down and rest a bit, . "It's this heat, honey; you over did. You shouldn't try to do every- thing at once, weather like this." "As if that mattered, so long as you can save a little, Bart!" Iris muttered petulantly. Putting On A New Act Bart's, slow, quiet wrath sim- meted slowly at that, but he said nothing, And Iris attacked the dishes with more-temper than cau-. tion, smashing a fragile blue pie plate as. it slid to the floor crash- ing against the gas stove, " Bart picked up the pieces silent. ly.

By higher crowns are meant those of three or four inches, in contrast to the flat little pillboxes and canotiers, or the fur "toques raised at front only, which have been so successful all win- ter. The height of the new hats is not so great that it is worth special comment except that us. ually Paris = milliners promote height for fall and not for'spring, One such hat is almost' small enough to be called a toque in three round layers, the Jargest be- ing the lowest.
