For both men and women the style experts
recommend outfits like this. He wears Palm
Beach slacks, brown and white shoes, open
throated sports shirt and soft turned down hat.
She wears the popular slack suit and Mexican
huaraches. Speaking of men's fashions, Fred
erick H. Ruhr, noted color expert, says: "To be
well turned out means more than a clean hand
kerchief and shined shoes. It means studied sim
plicity and harmony of every detail." A little
breath-taking, but Mr. Rahr knows his clothes.
The smart male can achieve remarkable sar

intelligently, with an eye to good taste.

BEDTIME STORY
Joe Otter's Peace Offering
Is Accepted by Buster Bear
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
Who makes an enemy a friend
To fear and worry puts an end.
I ITTLE JOE OTTER found this
out when he took Grandfather
Frog's advice. He wouldn't have
admitted that he was afraid of Bus
ter Bear. No one ever likes to ad
mit being afraid, least of all Little
Joe Otter. And, really. Little Joe
has a great deal of courage. There '
are very few of the little people
of the Green Forest or the Green
Meadows who would willingly quar
rel with Little Joe Otter.
Now, having your own way too
much is a bad thing. It is apt to
make one selfish, thoughtless of oth
er people, and very hard to get
along with. Little Joe Otter had
his way too much. Grandfather
Frog knew it, and shook his head
very soberly when Little Joe had
been disrespectful to him.
So, though he didn't let on that it
was so, Grandfather Frog really
was deliglited when he heard how
Buster Bear had been too smart for
Little Joe Otter. It tickled him so
that he had hard work to keep a
straight face. But he did, and was
as grave and solemn as you please
as he advised Little Joe always to
make friends with any one who
was bigger and stronger and smart
er than he. That was good common
sense advice, but Little Joe just
sniffed, and went off, declaring that
he would get even with Buster Bear
yet. Now, Little Joe is good natured
and full of fun, as a rule, and after
he had reached home and his tem
per had cooled off a little, he be
gan to see the Joke on himself ?
how, when he had worked so hard
to frighten the fish in the little
pools of the Laughing Brook so that
Buster Bear should not catch any,
he had all the time been driving
them right into Buster's paws. By
and by he grinned. It was a little
sheepish grin at first, but at last it
grew into a laugh. "I believe."
said Little Joe, as he wiped the
tears of laughter from his eyes,
"that Grandfather Frog is right,
and that the best thing I can do is
to make friends with Buster Bear."
So, very early the next morning.
Little Joe Otter went to the best
fishing pool he knew of on the
Laughing Brook, and there he
caught the biggest trout he could
find. It was so big and fat that it
made Little Joe's mouth water, for
you know fat trout are his favorite
food. But he didn't take so much
as one bite. Instead, he carefully
laid it on an old log where Buster
Bear would be sure to see it if he
should come along that way. Then
he hid near by where he could
watch. Buster was late that morn
ing. It seemed to Little Joe that
he never would come. Once he
nearly lost the fish. He had turned
his head for just a minute, and
when he looked back again the trout
was nowhere to be seen. Buster
couldn't have stolen up and taken
it, because such a big fellow
couldn't possibly have gotten out
of sight again.
Little Joe darted over to the log
and looked on the other side. There
was the fat trout, and there also
was Little Joe's smallest cousin,
Shadow the Weasel, who is a great
thief and altogether bad. Little Joe
sprang at him angrily, but Shadow
It was to big and so (at that It
made Little Joe'i month water.
was too quick, and darted away.
Little Joe put the fish back on the
log and waited. This time he didn't
take his eyes off it. At last, when
he was almost ready to give up,
he saw Busttr {fear shuffling along
toward the Laughing Brook. Sud
denly Buster stopped and sniffed.
One of the Merry Little Breezes had
carried the scent of that fat trout.
"Now I wonder who was so
thoughtful as to leave this fine
breakfast ready for me?" said he
out loud.
"Me," said Little Joe Otter, in a
rather faint voice. "I caught
it especially for you."
"Thank you," replied Buster, and
his eyes twinkled more than ever.
"I think we are going to be friends."
"I? hope so," replied Little Joe,
"and that you will forget the tricks
I played on you."

Star Dust
? Children of Stars
? A Break for Nancy
? Goodman's Cornetist
By Virginia Vale
SOME day when you young
sters are grown up, and see
by the papers that Ellen Powell
is going places with this or that
young man, you'll know how
the old-timers feel when they
read that Sue Vidor has been
going about with Buddy Arm
strong.
You'll probably say, "Why I re
member when that girl was born ?
way back in 1938! Her mother wai
a well-known movie star, Joan Blon
dell, and her father was a movie
star, too? Dick Powell, and a mas
ter of ceremonies on the radio, too.
But, of course, you don't see them in
pictures now."
And it seems like yesterday that
Sue Vidor was playing that tiny
little piano, and her handsome
young parents were standing there,
smiling at her. Her mother was a
famed movie actress ? Florence
Vidor, who retired to marry Jascha
Heifetz, the violinist. Sue's father is
King Vidor, the director.

And, speaking of the passing of
time, when she started work recent
ly on "Three Loves
Has Nancy," Janet
Gaynor also started
out on her twelfth
year of making
movies. Few others
have stayed at the
top for so long.
Which reminds me
that in "Tropic Hol
iday," the new Mar
tha Raye-Bob Burns
comedy, one of
Bob's scenes is a
burlesque of the one
Janet Gaynor
in "A Star Is Born" in which
Fredric March swam out to sea
to his death. People who liked the
Gaynor-March hit picture won't
care for that.

Having fought with Colombia and
had her contract bought off, Grace
Moore departed for Paris, where
she will start right in making pic
tures again. She'll do both a French
and an English version of "Louise."
And, as French pictures are rarely
up to the United States standard,
she probably won't like the result.

Nancy Kelly, aged seventeen, has
been booked to play the heroine in
"Splinter Fleet," and a lot of people
in Hollywood are asking who she is
and where she comes from and why
she should be given so important a
NANCY KELLY
role in such an expensive picture.
But at seventeen Nancy is a veteran
who rates important assignments.
She acted in the movies made in the
East as a child, but gave it up 10
years ago because she had reached
the awkward age, and devoted her
self to radio. She was going strong
a year ago when she got the role
of Gertrude Lawrence's daughter in
"Susan and God," a successful play
that was one of the New York thea
ters' big hits this year. Nancy was
a hit, too, Darryl Zanuck saw her
performance and bought her run-of
the-play contract, so now she's back
in the movies again, without mak
ing any effort to be. "Them as
has, gits."

You can't tell, these days, where
a swing musician will bob up. When
Benny Goodman and his band were
playing an engagement in Texas
last year everybody for miles
around who liked swing music
came to dance. During the inter
mission a young man with a comet
in his hand came to Goodman and
asked to play for him. Goodman
took him into an adjoining room,
Jess Stacey sat down at the piano,
and the young man began to toot.
"Buddy," said Goodman when
he had finished. "Whatever your
name is, you can join my band. By
the way, where did you learn to
put a horn through its paces?"
"I'm a member of the Salvation
Army band," replied Henry James,
who's been a member of Goodman's
gang ever since.

THE dark, eager young man was
fascinated by the weaving hands
and eloquent lips of the girl seated
or, more literally, perched, oppo
site him at the table.
"She's a bird!" he thought awed
ly. "Has flitted all over the world,
and born to the purple, too."
"And now," Nancy wound up her
travelogue, her moleskin toque
shadowing her thrilling eyes and
tip-tilted nose, "this old town seems
pretty poky to Aunt Jane and me."
Feeling pretty poky himself, Jim
my paid the check, adding a liberal
tip. Girls of Nancy's caliber didn't
come his way every day. Steve
Bender, a college mate, didn't intro
duce him to many of his new crowd.
Steve was riding up in the world.
He hailed a taxi, tucked her into
it and demanded her address.
"Put me down at Gordon's," she
decided grandly. "I'm shopping
this afternoon." Jimmy prevailed
upon her to lunch with him again
on the morrow.
Something must be done, he de
cided on his way back to the of
fice. James Arlington Drew must
bestir himself and catch up with
the great procession, in which the
white finger of Nancy Fern beck
oned.
After a week of expensive lunch
eons, Jimmy was no longer an in
surance man, but a globe trotter.
He sailed tropic seas in the wake of
a small white shallop, trailing a

silver rudder in the shape of a
luncheon fork. True, he made calls
on "prospects" during the fore
noons. But the late afternoon found
him pencilling whirligigs on the
daily memo, waiting for the muez
zin's call, and brushing the desert
sand of failure from his eyes.
The odd thing about it was that
he knew as little about the girl at
the end of the week as he had at the
beginning. She simply kept him in
foreign lands, carrying her trav
elogue with a lake or an ocean, an
Alp or a chasm.
Was he in love with het? he asked
himself. Hanged if he knew I
At this depressing moment, a
junior partner rounded on Jimmy
and "ate him alive." Tingling with
resentment, Jimmy went forth to
call on "Old Man" Crockett. All
the chaps had labored to sell Silas
Crockett, a "hopeless" prospect
who wasn't so very old, but made
up for it tigerishly.
It was almost closing time when
he gained admittance to the lair of
the Toughest Proposition. A cold
stare and a grumpy nod greeted
him. But Jimmy wasn't bothering
about either. He was gazing, fas
cinated, at a pale finger of sun,
receding, like a gleaming sail, from
the expanse of sea-blue rug.
"Mr. Crockett," he recklessly
monotoned, "you have a young
daughter, and some day she'll want
to travel. She'll want to see this
whole God's country; to peer down
the awoesome canyon and take wind
ing trails over mountain ranges,
where the American eagle screams
a welcome. She'll want to sail
through the Golden Gate to China,
and watch the barefoot coolies load
ing silks and tea and rice. She'll
climb the crooked streets of cities,
thousands of years old, and listen
to the temple bells of Asia. She'll
ride a camel, ploughing the desert
sands, and visit the bazaars of In
dian towns, seated on a swaying
elephant ? Jupiter! Where am I?"
gasped Jimmy, inwardly. But the
silence and growing dimness en
couraged him.
"She'll be entranced by the indigo
sea dashing to white and green
spray on Moro Castle in the Harbor
of Havana. Under the warm stars,
she'll tramp the deck and listen to
snatches of music from the city,
while dark ships with yellow ports
slip silently by against the lights on
the waterfront. Her ship sails for
home at midnight ? " Jimmy's voice
died.
"She'll need a lot of ready cash
for all that," rasped "Old Man"
Crockett.
With an odd feeling at the pit of
his stomach, Jimmy hitched his
chair forward and plunged into the
opening. He emerged with a
whacking big policy.
* "You'll forgive me, old chap,
won't you?" begged Steve Bender
later of the stricken Jimmy. Jim
my's Nancy was squirming in the
arms of his friend. "However,"
Steve went on, "Sis loves the mys
tery stuff."
?"Sis!" shouted Jimmy, snatching
her away from him.
Nancy Fern Bender gasped on his
lapel: "I ? I've never traveled any
where. I? I saw it all in the movies.
Steve thought you needed my ?
my imagination," she ended in a
wail.
"He's blamed right I did," gasped
Jimmy in turn, then enwrapped
her.
"Is her heart sound?" asked
Steve, sardonically, as an elderly
woman entered and stood aghast.
"Don't worry, Aunt Joe," he con
tinued. "Jimmy's just talking bust
