Dress Like the Play

HASTINGS, England--If you want
to go to a new amateur playhouse
here, YOU must dress like the actors
do on the stage. 1.-The Knight Of
the Burning Pestle," a play of the
King James period, was recently
presented and the entire audience
appeared in ancient costumes.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 20.-The
Chemical Warfare Service is expert

When mixed with illuminating gas,
it causes people to sneeze and thus

Prefers a girl who's plain but chic
A pretty girl hasn't chance these
days. "Chic" has a much higher
value than prettiness and very few
pretty women will sacrifice beauty
for chic. The pretty woman still in
sists on choosing hats which give
soft outline for the face, frocks that
are cut to show the roundness OF
her neck and arms and furbclows
that are becoming rather than styl-
ish.

other hand, perches a small felt
tightly over her uncurled bob, wears,
perhaps, smart high neckline ana
long sleeves, redderis her lips re-
gardless of the shape of her mouth.
adds pallor to her cheeks, watts her
cane in the air and looks as smart
as can DO.
No Don, But
She isn't doll, brc she's walk
ing advertisement for the fashion
mates. If her better looking sister
wears the same outfit, you can be
sure she will have a curl at either
side OF her hat, little country air
anplied to her cheeks, a neckline
that IN several seasons old and shoes
that are strapped and strained to
draw attention to the ankle, rather
than severely tailored. She con-
centrates on beauty rather than chic
and fails at both.
When curls, ruffles, dimples and
soft effect were the mode, the ugly
girl didn't have chance In the
world. The more she prtmped the
less attractive she became. But to-
dav the most attractive women are
generally minus beautiful faces.
They are interesting rather than
roodlooking and they wear clothes
az thew are meant to be worn. They
have no pretty features to be
augmented by color schemes, no
special places to park their beauty
matches. so they give all their at
tention to their ensemble and let
their faces get along as best they
can-which is pretty well in most
cases.

to look smart than it is for pretty

Baby Stare Passee

The time when the ugly girls
looked into an old-maid future is
past. It's the pretty girls who often
find themselves parked on the mat
rimonial shelf. And as soon as these
pretty girls learn that there is some
thing more important in life than
dreamy eyes or baby stare, they will
get in the game again.
The successful homely girl goes in
for unusual effects in dress or up
to-the-minute styles instead of doll
like clothes. AS a doll, she is the
proverbial lemon, but as a live-wtred
fashion plate she is a peach. There
is no reason for the ugly duckling 20

one. If you doubt this, wrap a bril-
liant scarf about your neck and add
peanut-sized hat of the same color
ings and see how you look. If you
are pretty, your prettiness will be
lessened by the high coloring and
by the complete covering of your
hair and neck. If you are plain,
you will look much smarter with
the scarf and hat than without
them.
The plain woman knows that she
has to be charming, gracious, broad
minded and intelligent to get by in
this world. She knows that no roll
ing of her eyes is going to break
any hearts. Unless she adds some
thing to the lives Of those with
whom she comes in contact she will
become a back number. She be-
comes unselfish and unvain--except
in the matter of dress. Soon people
forget their plainness and think
only OF her wholesomeness and Of
her perfect grooming, and she be-
comes more popular with the sheiks
about town than her simperirg and
petted sisters who hold beauty as a
fetish.

kindly suggest something APP

While it is usually more or

Of course, it is correct to do so.
Anything for the new home would
be appropriate.
IT is however, courteous for
you to call on the NEWLY webs
