Adrian Offers
Tips on Picking
Budget Clothes

Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. G. What
should the wardrobe of a business
girl with a moderate budget for
clothes include?
This question provides the con-
tent of more than half of the let
tiers received daily by Adrian, de-
signer at Metro Goodwin Mayer
studios.
Recently Adrian gave his answer
and outlined wardrobe for these
many girls, who seek 10 be smartly
dressed on a moderate income.
First of ALL" he said, "she
should invest in smart tailored
suit. This suit should not be
styled too highly, and above all.
should incorporate no tricks that
would tend to date it. If the cur
rent vogue is for extremely wide
shoulders, she should demand
shoulders bit narrower.
Next, she should have a good
looking, trimmed coat, which
could, If necessary, be worn as a
top-coat over the suit. In this, too,
1 would advise a modified style and
a gooo fur trim. The fur may be
inexpensive, but be certain that it
is the best of an inexpensive va
riety. Two simple semi-sport dresses
one extremely plain, the other fus-
sier, should be sufficient. q
For evening wear, she should
chose a gown of classic line, either
white or black. If the budget per-
mits, one gown with sleeves and
one without, would answer every
occasion"

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-(NEA>-
Y Those intimate, personal
gifts women always love to get at
Christmas are presented in CLAM
orous new versions that make this
years shopping less of a problem
and more of a pleasure.
Underwear, gloves, bags. stock
ings, compacts and jewelry-all
look unusual and dlrTerent enough
to make you forget that they are
perennial favorites for the
Christmas stocking.
Gloves with stitched details,
rolled and padded tops and but
tons at the back instead of the
front are teamed up with COM
pacts, cigaret cases, scarfs, bags,
shoes and even watches.
Brown .suedes and a bag to
match would please your mother.
Sister would adore pigskIn pull
ons and neat pigskin vanity. If
THE GIRL on your list wears
tweeds a good deal, brown leather
gloves and sports watch with
brownish, tweedy-looking motif on
the edges of the face of the watch
ought to make her happy. If they
don't invite her rival to your New
Years party.
CPEAKING of watches. there are
> those who hold that round
ones are smarter than square and
oblong types.
In any event, a good watch,
jeweled or otherwise, is sure to
delight any woman from your
great aunt Martha, who may
leave you her fortune some day,
to your perfect secretary, who
needs recognition for the way she
protects you from insurance
agents.
Less expensive watches are set
in bags, lipsticks, compacts and
cigaret cases and are smart
enough to thrill even the spoiled
young thing who has everything.
Even though you're tired of
being reminded of it, you really
ought to do something about the
monogram situation.
Anything which bears more than
one of her own initials is ample
proof that you thought about her
at least three weeks before Christ
mas.
Underwear-sheer and filmy and
cut actually to fit the figure
should be trimmed with her three
initials. perhaps in the new type
of shaded lettering. A blue satin
nightgown might have initials in
matching blue on one side and
Persian rose on the other.
Handkerchiefs (unless you know
she likes colored ones for sports
and casual wear, you'd better pick
white) can be ordered with shaded
monograms, too. So can Scarfs
and negligee and bathrobe belts.
THERE is an especially inter-
i esting array of negligees in
draped and pleated designs that
look very much like evening
gowns.
See that a negligee is cut full
so it will stay together at the
front and that it is made of ma
teriai which doesn't show water
spots easily.
Unless she's q wisp of feminine
daintiness, the new colors, includ-
ing wedding ring gold. stained
glass tones and the rich, deep
shades of the Renaissance will
please her more than sissy blue
and even sissier pink.
1t she's tailored girl, give her
a tailored bathrobe-negligee of

pink-stripetl velvet. Otherwise,
the more lace the better.
Hand-quilted cases in which to
keep handkerchiefs, similar ones
to hold evening slippers, sets of
matching clothes hangers, gar
ment bags, shoe bags and hat
stands and sachets in sumptuous
odors will please the fastidious
women on your list.
INCIDENTALLY, the newest
l. sachets are a far cry from
those unpretentious little pads
that grandmother filed with law
ender and placed here and there
between layers of underwear and
linen. O..
The modern ones--mucn larger,
done up in suave satin in every
color under the sun and often
trimmed with sweeping tassels or
huge bows-certainly are perfect
for the hostess who managed to
put UP with you last summer or
that fine friend who stayed with
your offspring while you went to
the concert.
In the this 'll-impress -her-or-
else category are hostess gowns
don't be frightened if the sales
woman calls them more-or less
at-home-growns-it's done this
season., furs chow about silver
fox evening wrap or a sable muff
and scarf0, huge jugs of expen-
sive perfume, comb, brush and
mirror sets of sterling silver and
a sterling silver powder box to
match, jewelry and fitted cases
are not only thrilling but prac-
tical.

Holiday Gifts
of Beauty Aids
Now in Shops
BY ALICIA HART

Those who intend to give cos
metics and beauty preparations for
Christmas should begin right now to
find out not only what's new and
exciting in the shops but exactly
which items will best suit the re-
ciplents. To give extra heavy, rich
nourlshing cream to one under 20 is
just as ridiculous as it is to send
gardenia perfume to woman who
simply can't bear any odor stronger
than lavender toilet water.
Unless you know exactly the shade
OF powder, rouge and lipstick she
uses, don't send makeup. Steer
clear of exotic lotions, preparations
to correct special skin and scalp con-
ditions. Instead, look over the dis
play OF rather general beauty items
that any woman would use and love
regardless of her age and type of
skin.
Bath oils and bath salts, both the
old types with which you're quite
familiar and the new powdered
varieties, are safe bets. However,
don't give pine oil to a frilly, femi-
nine little thing. Save it for the
sufficient and out-of- doors
women on your list.
Soap, especially huge bath size
cakes, bath powder and body lotion
IN matching odors, toilet water and
cologne are other suggestions in the
general category. However, if she
likes only plain CASTLE soap, box
OF heavily scented cakes won't make
her very appreciative of your
thoughtfulness.
Unless you can afford to get a
handsome one with patented top
which prevents evaporation, don t
send an atomizer. If you're consid-
ering comb and brush sets or mani
cure tools to go on her dresser, bet
ter find out the color of her room
before you buy.

Children are the state. Well all
be gone some day and the children
will be running things. 1t was
probably neglected or orphaned
children in the first place who, when
grown, instituted laws to found
asylums for other dependent chill
dren coming after them.
These began with the Oliver
Twist-like refugees that did little
more than keep the bodies and
souls of poor little starvelings to-
gether. But they were something.
pitiful as they were.
We have gone a long way from
there. The child institution of to-
day is not only far cry from these
ancient barracks, but even from the
comparatively comfortable homes of
20 years ago.
Not Much Lacking
Observe the newer type of home
for children. The cottage idea, with
it's family group of six or so, and a
motherly woman to make each
house as real a home as possible.
New knowledge of feeding and care
and training-neW everything.
I enlarge on the idea to impress
on the reader the fact that as far
as modern institution life goes, there
is not much lacking There is only
one thing left and that is beyond
either aid societies, civic commit
tees, or welfare boards to install.
The child's mother! His real
mother, and his own home. Moth
ing else can give him the self re
spect and courage of belonging TO
some one.
Now we must divide institutions
into two classes. Orphanges and
homes to care for the destitute.
Homes for Dependent Children
About the LATERAL over the
country there are homes for de-
pendent children whose mothers
can not look out for them and work,
too. Some of the institutions are
state-supported, some privately
maintained, and some are merely
beneficiaries of the state.
However, in most states, the ag-
gregate appropriations for these in
stitutions run annually into many
millions. They include hospitals
for those little incurables who do
not need actual nursing, but mere
-iy kindness and care, preferably
given by their own mothers, at
home if possible.
The trend of child welfare has
been toward the home" idea. 1t
is matter of slow evolution, but
we are getting there. However, It
has been slow. The reason for it's

panties assure smooth line
