TO MATCH CHINA

Candles now are being colored in

Dark blue, rust, yellow and wine

able shades. But white and ivory

NeckIines Are Higher

Have you counting complex
such as those folks have who go
muttering up steps and methodi-
cally pacing the distance between
the front porch and the gate?
Here's a bit of variety on your pet
theme. Count the different neck
lines you see on the new dresses.
Here's what you'll find:
l. The higher, round type like
the one on the dress sketched.
(The collar and frill are of or
candle, by the way0
2. The bateau neckline Chateau
means boat, you know high
in front and back and longer on
the shoulders.
8. The directoire neckline with
revers higher placed and broader
than they've been.
4. The cowl neck that seems
at first glance to take a stand
against high-handed treatment,
until you notice that a vestee
has been inserted (Vionnet's
trick) to make it higher.
5. Soft scarf necklines tying in
flattering bows under the chins.
Bruyere and Lyolene first start
ed tying these bows.
And there you have the things to
look for when you shop for your
midwinter dress to brighten your
days.
Detail Trimmings Higher
And all around the necklines you
keep finding new details. Contrast
color encircling the arrlholeS, lNok-
ing from the front as if the wearer
might be toting a klapsack. Tuck
ing that rays out over the points
of the shoulders. The ''button-but-
ton" game played on top OF the
shoulders. No doubt about it, shc l.
ders are carrying fashions biggest
load.
Sleeve Details Go Up
Sleeves are showing their details
UP, too. Trim and plain near the
wrist and if you've ever tried
to write with bow or some other
gewgaw for a handicap, you'll ap-
preciate this.

for running a matrimonial bureau,

history of such ventures is too ap-
palling. Unfortunately, there is no
way to prevent unscrupulous per-
sons, motivated by coldly CONNER

vertisements of lonely people for
matrimonial partners.
DO not let your loneliness and
great need trick you into a second
marriage with a woman whom you
scarcely know. The best thing you
can do is to get. a kindly woman to
keep house for you. This would not
be difficult or expensive, as jobs are
so scarce just now.
The aid of housekeeper would
give you little leisure in which to
circulate among your friends. Why
don't you attend a good church or
interest yourself in some other be-
nevolent organization where you
would be apt to meet honorable and
decent people. 1t is possible (though

not hesitate to say that you prefer

You are not running after him
unless you make all the dates when
