Grandma's Clothes
 FaiL to Hold Back
 The High Jinks Deb
By SUE MCNAMARA GAP Feature Service Writer)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-Grand- mothers gown disguises the Wash ington debutantes appearance this winter, but it does not change her modern mind and manners.
 She is just as athletic. despite long skirts and tight waists.
 A long summer in the open has prepared her for such a strenuous social program as grandmother never could have stood. After dancing all afternoon as the debu- tantes do now, then again until dawn, grandmother would have tainted in about the fifth dance of the evening.
 By that time the 1930 deb is just getting her second wind Not a step does she falter. Those clinging blue, pink or red taffetas and chif- ions which mould her form so tightly are not built up over whale bone. Her own strong figure sup ports them.
 I saw one deb walk sedetely with her escort to the middle of the ball room. Only few were danc- ing. The long stretch of polished floor gave this pair an idea.
 The youth suddenly turned, ran a few steps and skated clear to the far end of the room. His partner gave little whoop and promptly followed, her long skirts and tight waists no more deterring her than if they had been sweater and knickers.
 A little dark haired deb in red who had been whisked from one partner to another all evening gave Ia down-south hoedown which re- quired both speed and endurance.
 In the dressing rooms, between pinning up torn flounces and beg ging for lip stick, the talk is dis tinctly 1880.
 You may dress the girl of today in grandmother clothes but it does not endow her with crinoline and smelling salts temperament.

VIENNA, Jan. 31.-Two tone of human hair formed one of the items among the imports into Aus tria in the last fiscal year. Much unsatisfied curiosity has been rous- ed as to what it could be used for in these days of close crops.
 Another item was artificial teeth, of which almost exactly the same weight came from abroad Dentis- try has reached high state of de- velopment here, so no surprise is caused by this quantity.
 Nearly 500 pounds of dried in sects came in for museums. Wo- mems fashions were responsible for the arrival of twenty tons of croco- dile, seal, elephant, hippopotamus, lizard and shark skins for shoes.
