Costuming the Thin Girl.

Dear Miss Leeds: am tall for my
age and look much taller because
am thin. am unable to gain weight,
although I have tried. / wuold like
to know what kind of clothes to wear
to make me look fatter and shorter.
Will long hair make me look shorter?
What can do for hairy arms and legs?
WORRIED.
Answer-If you are below the aver
age weight for your age and height
and cannot seem to gain, you should
ask doctors advice. It is not healthy
for young girl to be too slim. AS to
clothes, you may wear broad brimmed
hats to make you seem shorter. Wear
two-piece effects in dresses, with skirt
and blouse of different colors or shades
Wear pleats, flares, godets, circular
skirts, stirring and shocking to give
fullness to your figure. Your sport
coat may have broad belt. Wear
horizontal bands of trimming and tiers
Of f1ounces. The bolero effect is good
The bouffant skirt Is becoming. Long
hair, coiled low at the nape of your
neck will be more becoming than the
shingle bob that accetuates your long
thin neck. The hairs on your limbs
may be bleached with peroxide or re-
moved from time to time with q de.
pilatory. LOIS LEEDS,

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday. January 90.

Benefic aspects will conflict with adj
verse stars tomorrow, according to
| astrology. but kindly influences domi-
nate
This is a fairly fortunate planetary
government for the churches, although
doctrinal controversies will be frequent
through the year.
Ministers may find it difficult for
congregations to Ak attention on SER
mons, for there will be tendency for
minds to contemplate personal affairs.
Many fine church edif1ces are to be
built in the United States, it is fore
cast, and beautiful cathedrals will rise
as evidence of religious interest.
While this is an suspicious sway for
constructive thought and the working
out of important plans, 1t Is wise not
to write what one thinks.
Letters are subject to rather an I'M
favorable direction of the stars, and
love missives may be unusually perilouS
to send.
1t is not a lucky day to travel by
airplane or to take any risks in trans
portation.
Those who desire to make the most
of this planetary government should
concentrate on friendly visits and i'm
portant conferences.
Although the stars give assurance
that the year will be prosperous ard
extremely eventful. there will be much
cheating and double dealing, it is fore
cast.
Corruption and vice will continue to
flourish. although there may be much
agitation about the punishment of evil
doors.
Many cities are subject to a planetary
government making for graft and the
growth of power on the part Of crimi-
nal classes.
Persons whose birth date 1t is may
meet with establishment and disap-
pointments in the coming year Care
should be taken to avoid all unde-
sirable acquaintance. Business affairs
should be satisfactory.
Children born on that day may be
extraordinarily talented. Many artistic
persons are born on this Capricorn
Aquarius cusp. Both boys and girls
have the augury of success and even
fame. Literature Is one of the most
fortunate channels of expression.

Headdresses for Bridesmaids
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Nearly every fashionable young bride
wears veil on her head and takes
it for granted that her attendants
should also have some sort of head
covering.
For the bridesmaid of today it doesn't
seem to matter whether the hair is
actually covered or motor what sort
of headdress Is worn. 1t may be a
modified sort of Dutch bonnet, Rus
sian tiara, a jeweled bandeau, turban,
wide brimmed garden hat or fes-
toon of flowers
Following the fashion set at the we'd
ding of Miss Manville to the Count
Bernadotte, some brides of the season
have chosen chaplets of myrtle leaves
for their bridesmaids head dresses.
Those chosen by Miss Manville were of
American beauty rose color to match
the taffeta frocks Of the maids.
Myrtle leaves have an even Older
appropriateness for weddings, since
they were sacred to Venus-and held

Everyday Psychology
The Eternal Woman.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

There was time when masculinity
and femininity. respectively, meant
something. That day is rapidly passing
And in that passing another chapter
is added to the psychology of per-
sonality. The late World War uShered
in a change that has been developing
at a tremendous rate.
Bobbed hair, cigarettes and Knockers
are only the exterior signs. They may
not stay. The sexes are becoming neu-
trail along psychological lines.
A lot Of people, supposed TO De deep
thinkers, few to the conclusion during
the late war that the women surged 10
the front because the fortunes OF the
race were at stake. They argued that
the female was biologically older than
the male: that at critical times the
female asserted her ancient prerogatives
and started in to save civilization. 10
preserve the race. Women, they said,
were famous fighters.
This Is q sort of intellectual foxfire-
a spurious combination OF thought ele-
ments that have no character except
name and excitement.
Now what are the facts? Men have
been men, and women have been
women, merely because tradition had
assigned them conventional positions in
the economy OF ilVlng. ana THESE po-
sitions were assumed to belong inherent
~ to the two different sexes.
All that Is passing. Society in an
economic sense is very different from
what it was two decades ago. The
vocational world with all it's Specialize
ton of trades and division of labor has
Just about erased the old twO-.old
classification. No employment Is strict
ly male or strictly female occu-
patton. Women take care of them
selves nowadays. The eternal feminine
as a race-conserver has been replaced
by the accidental feminine as self
conserver. She can't help but be a
creature of circumstances and con-
ditions
Mental attitudes depend on ones

compared with the employment Of
