B5j Gloria By BETTY KOHLMAV I Tribune Staff Writer 'Diminutive Gloria Swanson rolled into Tampa yesterday and captivated every audience within glimpse of her. A bundle of vitality and outgoing charm, the veteran film star paraded her fashions her latest endeavor) in two thronged shows at Maas Brothers, lunched with press and a collection of VIPs, signed autographs and ran a conversational gambit from styles to vitamins to movies to hurricanes. The famous Hollywood movie queen, first to break the barrier between silent and sound motion pictures successfully, looked as though she practices what she preaches on her multitude of favorite subjects. VETERAN of 64 films at age 63, she appeared youthful and vivacious in a trim shock-ins pink linen frock with matching stole and headband, one of her own creations. It came as a surprise to everyone who hadn't met her before that Miss Swanson is only slightly over five feet tall.

When she first started her screen career she measured the same height as Mary Pickford, she said, but later grew an inch or so. "I hated being short, so made it my business to look taller," she told us, "while Mary Pickford traded on her smallness." Part of her recipe for appearing taller is to wear the right fashions. "An uneven hemline, a little longer in back, helps the illusion," she advised, "and also an uneven waistline. Then use panels or a long stole i like the one she was wearing), anything with long, vertical lines." SWANSON turned to fashion designing in the early shortly after completing her hit movie. "Sunset Boulevard." Her styles, in misses, women's and half-sizes, feature a youthful look.

It is an inexpensive line.

DOROTHY GRAY ECKERD DRUG STORES Clubwomen Will Get Clues On Analyzing Handwriting Celebration Will Attract Two Families CLEARWATER (Special) About 50 members of the Simonin and the Sorvlllo families are expected here Sunday at 3 p.m. to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.

Charlie Simonim of 507 Cedar St. The party, given by Mrs. Fred Sorvillo and Mrs. Thomas Salvatore, daughters, will be held at Belmont Park on South Greenwood Avenue. Mr.

and Mrs. Simonin met in France as childhood friends. When their families came to America, Charles and Henriett, then in their 20s, also came. Their families settled in Connecticut and it was in Torrington, that they were married on Oct. 1, 1912.

Mr. Simonin was a foundry molder in Connecticut until he and his wife moved to Clearwater 10 years ago. In Clearwater, he worked for metal industries. Among the family members to be present at the celebration will be the two daughters; four grandchildren; two great-grandchildren and Eloi Simonin, Charles brother, who plans to arrive via plane from Bantam, for the celebration. Club Clock Legion Auxiliary free of sprays or injections of any kind.

Vaulting lightly from serious discussion, she charmed us with comments about Tampa to which she is no stranger. Fifty-four years ago, Miss Swanson first came to Tampa, with her mother. They stayed at the old Tampa Bay Hotel and slept beneath mosquito netting which she had never seen before. "What I remember she enthused, "was the smells. Everything smelled of tangerines.

And ever since, no matter where I am in the world, if I smell tangerines my mind goes 'jump-p-p' right back to Tampa." THEREAFTER Gloria and her mother took ship for Key West to join her father. Greeted by a hurricane, they were saved, she recalled, only by the concrete foundations of the yet incompleted railroad, which served as a breakwater. Of her movie career, the world-famed star said it "just happened." At age 14. she visited a movie set in Chicago and was simply commandeered. "I was an extra only one day, and after that had parts," she told us.

"It was easy to get into the movies- in those days," she went on. "There were no casting offices, and lots of times they had to get people off the streets to act as extras. "ACTORS on the legitimate stage looked down on movies then, and wouldn't be caught alive or dead in them. But when they needed money they'd put on beards and do a picture." After a jam-packed day in Tampa yesterday, which wore out everyone else, the buoyant Gloria Swanson rolled off in her white Rolls-Royce to repeat the performance in St. Petersburg todav.

Scout Council there and belonged to the League of Women Voters. Her biggest thrill was acting as delegate to the international convention of Women's Clubs in Detroit in 1935. Six thousand women from all over the world attended and the big issue was voting down statehood for Hawaii.

Albert II. Mills points of interest in graphology. The three women will be co-hostesses to the luncheon meeting of Harbor View Villas Acquaintance Club today in Gav's Restaurant, Clearwater. Mrs. Steible will discuss her hobby of handwriting analysis.

By ALICE McCABE Tribune Correspondent DUNEDIN. (Special) When Mrs. Alfred E. Steible of 2245 Lagoon Drive, Harbor View Villas, receives a letter, she's just as interested in the envelope as she is in the eon-tents. The handwriting on the envelope reveals to her the character and mood of the writer before she even looks inside.

Since 1930. when Julie (Mrs. Steible) heard a graphologist discuss the art of handwriting analysis at the Wednesday Club of East St. Louis, 111., she has been fascinated with what handwriting can tell. After that lecture 32 years ago.

Julie anxiously awaited publication of a book the speaker said she had written but it never appeared on the market. Instead. Julie discovered a book, "Mind Your P's and that told just how to consider slant, pressure, dots, in handwriting analysis. As she was on the library board in East St. Louis, this woman of many hobbies devoured every tome on the subject of graphology.

The reference book she uses most today is "Handwriting Tells" by Nadya Oly-andra. Another favorite of hers is Herry Teltscher's "Handwriting," which she thinks is a translation of the original German.

Members will also be reminded about the auxiliary's annual card party to be held Oct. 24. A preferential tea will be held Sunday from 3 until 5 p.m. by the Delta Xi chapter Of Beta Sigma Phi sorority. The tea, to be held at the home of Mrs.

John Bloom, 1671 Pinewood Drive, will honor the sorority's rushees and give rushees and actives a chance to know each other better. Mrs. Bloom will be assisted by Mrs. Jerry Hedberg and Mrs. Phil Hersh-felt with the hospitalities.

Decorations will be in yellow and white, the sorority's colors. Yellow roses, the sorority's flower, will make the floral centerpiece on the tea table. The centerpiece will be flanked by silver candelabra. The tea cakes will be decorated with yellow roses. The Sertoma Club and the Evening La Sertoma Club have sent approximately 640 invitations to their first annual Halloween costume ball to be given Saturday from 9 until 1 a.m.

at the Clearwater Armory. Wallace Hendry has reported that Bill Turner and the Showman will provide the music for dancing. Prizes will be presented to the couple or to groups coming in the because most people have so much good that it outweighs the few little bad habits they have," Mrs. Steible confided. Her husband had a friend in Missouri who was chief of detectives and he secured samples of prisoners' handwriting for Julie.

This provided a wonderful opporr tunity to examine the unreliable hen scratches of convicted criminals. Julie had a Jolt when she analyzed her own writing. The way she dotted her 's revealed a critical side to her nature. She conscientiously Worked on this character trait and now that is no longer evident in her writing. The converse of this won't work, she says.

A person must change his character before his writing will change. She tells of a woman who denied being tenacious as indicated by the hooks at the end of her words. The woman returned two weeks later with a handwriting sample expecting to prove that the hooks were gone. It had taken her two weeks to write the "masterpiece" and a magnifying glass showed there were STILL tiny hooks on her terminals! Julie noted that more and more banks, executives, and agencies, are using graphology to help check on prospective employes. Physical illnesses, often unknown to the writers, are sometimes shown by their handwriting.

She recalled having received a letter from a friend where all the 's were bent. She mentioned to her husband that the friend appeared to have heart trouble; a short time later, the friend died of heart disease. An avid clubwoman, Julie was once president of East St. Louis' largest woman's club, the Wednesday Club.
