BY CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia-Huving once broken
into your column I find it hard thing

opinion of the letter written by AN
American" I am going to do just that
and tell of some of my own experiences.

the boys say: wait until the war is

did before the war That remark is
coming true.
1t seems that the navy is the special
target for their hatred. Again the
question, why? During the war l was
Il member of an entertainment com

week. The girls and boys had some
wonderful times together. But when
first started to work and some of
the boys called on me my own friends

ever. in time they followed in nv foot

sailors. They also discovered that the

him and they were all in the navy.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose


WHY wouldn't it be good idea when
w You buy plated suit or frock to
settle sort of endowment fund upon
it? Then you would be sure that you
could always spare the money to send
it to the tailor's to have the plaits
pressed as often as it needed this at
tention.
Now if you buy a plated frock, say
at so, it really should be estimated
as costing as much as plain frock at
$50, because you cannot or should not
attempt to get through the season with
out having it plated at least $40 worth.
OF course, if you have time and in
gcnuity TO do this yourself then you
do not need to consider the expense in
money. Then your problem will only
be one of finding time and inclination
to press the plaits at stated intervals
1t is really not such desperately
hard job. The whole thing is to press
them often enough so that they never
really come out. For once they come
out it is so hard to find the original line
again, and if you do not the plaits will
not hang as they should. Perhaps the
best way is to baste the plaits all il
/ place, though some ingenious womeI

to press them on the wrong side, but this
is sometimes impossible. Even whel
pressing them on the wrong side thu
