There Will Always Be A Rabbit BY VIVIAN BROWN’ AP Newsfeatnres Writer Easter is traditionally the rab bit season. Though mom and dad may prefer theirs stewed or pick led as a solution to the meat shor tage, the youngsters look forward to a candy bunny or one to play with. There aren’t many of the choco late variety that used to be found among the'eggs in the Easter bas ket. Nor are there little live ones to be had because pet shops do not recommend them for children to play with at home. Bunny popularity nevertheless has increased ten-fold, says Dora Zarovich, who designs toys for children. And she believes this may m a large part be due to the success of the Broadway play starring Frank Fay and his invisible rab bit pal "Harvey. But Suzie or Johnny can have a bunny this year because there seem to be enough of the toy kind to make the rounds. Some of those designed by Mrs. Zarovich are in varied poses. There are rabbits sitting, stand ing or begging and like her other animal designs, these are created from real life. The current batch die the result of weeks of patient observation at the Bronx Paik Zoo. All of these toy washable rab bits are colored with nonpoisonous ▼egetablc dyes and are covered with waterproof, washable mater ial. Though rabbits have always b°en popular in fairy tales like Alice in Wonderland. Peter Rab bit and more recently Bugs Bun nv. a movie version. Mrs. Zaro vich believes the Easter bunny leg end began centuries ago in Hol land. At that time, she relates, a fam ine was threatened at Easter. In one village the elders, to cheer the hungry children, hid a nest of colored Easter eggs and started a eearch for them. Suddenly near the nest, a rabbit appeared and the eggs were found. "Oh. see 1he pretty eggs the rab bit laid for us.’’ cried the children. And that she believes, is how the Easter rabbit helped start a legend about himself. -V One of every seven single girls now is headed for spinsterhood due to 1he unbalance in population that will result from the war.

That is probably why both men and women have such little fun damental respect for the job of a home-maker and why women who are devoting their lives to that job say apologetically, when asked what they do: “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” MUDDLE THROUGH It is probably also why so many women muddle through the job of home-making — the same women who, with some training can capably fill jobs in business and industry or make a career for themselves in one of the pro fessions. But- ihe Smith alumna who answered "Any intelligent person should be able to take wifely du ties in her stride’’ at least didn't belittle homemaking to the extent that most people do. What the average person actu ally thinks is: "Any nitwit ought to be able to run a home." Maybe housewives ought to be apprecia tive of that word •’intelligent." * * Navy Mothers Club To Hold Called Meeting A special called meeting of the Cape Fear Navy Mothers club will be held Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the American Legion home.

Bare Facts On The Hose Shortage BY DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Fashion Editor When a stocking manufacturer advises women to go stockingless that's news. Yet such is the counsel handed out by Roy E. Tilles, president of one of the country’s largest hosiery companies. Says Mr. Tilles: “American women will have to prepare for a real stocking short age next summer. There may be as much as a 30 per cent drop in hosiery production. “Women will just have to learn That stocking are precious items. They must wear heavier stockings for service wear. They must plan to use leg makeup for sports, and wear sheer stockings only when th°v want to look their best.’* Mr. Tilles cast his bombshell in the midst of a recent Lilliputian fashion show in which each living model was matched by a marion ette wearing the same costume in miniature. Even Mr. Tilles, the host, was represented by a puppet. In the showing, all sports out fits were shown without stockings. Street outfits were shown with heavy service type hosiery. And sheer rayon stockings were re served for the dressiest models. TAILORED PARADER: This softly tailored suit is shown in light green soft wool with wide revers and four pockets.
