It's an Anne Adams design for mature women who like to look slim and young. There's wonderful flattery in that center bodice continues down to form one smooth piece with the wide, pointed waist- girdle. A row of tiny buttons might add further to the slenderizing ef- fect. Now see the soft side bodice sections, gathered at the shoulders and above the waist! The skirt is nicely . cut, with a single seam in front and a back panel for extra ease. Make long or short puffed or flared sleeves. And you might add lace-edged revers, included in the pattern. Pattern 4473 is available in wom- en's sizes 34 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48.

RAWLINGS (Associated Press Staff Writer) Chicago, Nov. i¢ (AP).--The ave- rage college girl of today has what it takes for a success venture in business or the professions--poise-- but she doesn't know her English, a career school official concluded today. . She's a rather sophisticated miss who doesn't blush too easily, but her spelling is bad and she uses a comma for decorative purposes only. She's not afraid of the dark and' she doesn't have trouble with those moody spells--cycles of deep depres- sion and high elation--but when it comes to knowing when to use "who" or "whom" she usually picks the wrong word. But emotionally, she has balance, neither over-estimating nor under- estimating her feeling of import- ance, and she's in deadly earnest once she embarks on a course of training for a career. These conclusions were drawn by M. P. Nelson, co-director of the Career Institute, dedicated to the task of training college women for secretarial positions they hope to use as stepping stones for execu- tive positions in business and the professions. From the results of tests, Nelson said, the school's counsellors con- cluded that the average college girl doesn't let humiliating experi- ences worry her unduly; let use- | less ideas upset her thought pro- | cesses; let criticism disturb her too | greatly; day-dream frequently to | escape the realities of life; worry about the future; fret because of | feelings of inferiority; have swings | in mood without apparent cause; | get discouraged easily; blame otn- ers for her troubles; have frequent spells of the "blues" or cry too eas- Trafalgar Chapter Planning for Christmas Toronto, Nov. 14.--Ontario Ladies' College Alumnae, Trafalgar Chap- ter, met at the home of Mrs. K.

"FOREVER ENGLAND" PROMISED SUCCESS Toronto, Nov. 14.--Introduced by the Mendelssohn choir at a concert in aid of a fund to help Voluntary Registration of Canadian Women, a new patriotic song, "Forever Eng- land," written by two young To- ronto people, seems destined to be- come one of the outstanding music compositions of the present war. The composers are Miss R. Mar- guerite Penman, who wrote the words, and Rex Le Lacheur, well- known radio and concert baritone, who wrote the music, After hearing a recording of the composition, Dr H. A. Fricker, dir- eotor of the Mendelssohn Choir, considered it such a smash hit that he had hegtograph coples rushed to him by the publisher in order to include it on the program. The result was that 'Forever England" was a highlight of the first public-hall concert in over a year given by the Mendelssohn Choir under Dr. Fricker, and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, un- der the direction of Sir Ernest MacMillan, Officials of a Toronto music dis- tributing firm, which reports that there is a constant demand for war and patriotic songs such as "Till the Lights of London Shine Again," "Shout, I Am a Canadian," 'Lords of the Air" and "We're All Together Now," feel that 'Forever England" will soon be among Canada's fav- orite war songs.

TODAY'S MENU By BETSY NEWMAN I THINK I will give you the Christmas fruit cake recipe which I have used for a number of years.

Fry-Cadbary Lid., Mestreal Parent Problem®' £y GARRY C. MYERS. PhD. Most of us learned the multipli- | cation tables in groups of 2's, 3's and 4's. We said "2 times 1 are 2, 2 times 2 are 4, 2 times 3 are 6," and s0 on. The 9 times was the last one and seemed the hardest. Some of us also learned the tables of 10's, 11's and 12'. Few do nowadays. However, most children today learn the multiplication tables about as we did. There is something about the rhythm and order of these tables that make them easy. Buf after you. have learned a table, say of T's and know it perfectly you might have trouble on meeting up with a combination out of its order. I re- member, for example, that for a long while after I could say the table of 7's rapidly and accurately, I would have trouble when I had to multiply 6 by Tor 9 by 7. I could not get either one until I had said over all the rest of the table of 7's from the beginning to the combina- tion wanted. Other adults tell me they must do so still with certain multiplication facts. I have found numerous school children who must. Facts as Facts It is a much better practice to learn each multiplication fact as a fact alone, therefore, not to learn it in a table of 2's, 6's, 7's and the like, Accordingly, the child would learn. for example, the fact, 2 times 7 are 14, 6 times 4 are 24, then 3 times 9 are 27. This is just as I suggested the learning of each of the 100 addi- tion and 100 subtraction facts. ordinary experience with numbers we don't stay in the table of any one group. They come at random. Why not learn them so? A good way is to write down all the tables, then cut them up, shuf- fle the slips of proper pairs, draw them by chance and copy each com- bination as you draw it. Then you will have a sheet of all the multi- plication combinations which the child will need to memorize. If you do so, be sure not to have un "the child attack more than three of these facts at a sitting. The child saves time if right after he mem- orizes the fact, "3 times 7 are 21," he also memorizes the fact, "T times 3 are 21." He might know one with. out knowing the other, Table Talks The changes are that your child will have to learn his tables at school in groups as you did. If this is the way it is done at school don't interfere. Encourage the child to go on the school way. You might, however, induce him to practice in any such table by having them out of order. Say he has learned the table of 4's. Induce him to cut the pairs up in slips and shuffle the slips and then try himself out on them, being careful to look at each product if in doubt. Encourage him never to use any multiplication, addition or subtrac- tion fact in a' problem until he has first memorized this fact. Let him learn by heart each number fact first then use it as soon as possible thereafter. I still have on hand copies of the 100 addition and 100 subtraction facts which every child should learn by heart before the age of nine or ten, since he will use them all the rest of his life. You may have with- out cost, a copy of each by writing me at 235 East 45th: Street, New York, enclosing a self-addressed en- velope with a three-gent stamp on it. Solving Parent Problems * O. Are formal parties helpful to the timid, lonely, non-social child? A. No; they make him more timid and non-social, as a rule. What he needs is informal mingling at play with one or several children con- stanly. _. WE SPECIALIZE in Spiral and Croquinole Per- manent Waving.
