Manners
of the
Moment

TINE was when we thought Gus
toms officer was flend in blue
suit. But he's beginning to have our
sympathy. Maybe it's because we've
had to wait so many hours while he
dealt with problem cases. But We
have certainly reached point where
we cannot let this conversational ap-
proach to customs officers get by any
longer without notice.
Women coming back from their first
trip abroad are the worst offenders
OF pier etiquette. They get the idea,
somehow, that the customs officer is
there for the sole purpose of admiring
all their purchases. Doesn't he start
by asking what you bought on the 9TH
er side? And doesn't girl always love
to show her new things? And isn't
this her very first chance to show her
loot on American soil? OF course
So naturally she goes at it enthusi-
astically, giving Mr.. Customs Officer
all the details about the cute little
shop and the funny little shopkeeper
and the marvellous hand embroidery.
Well, we'd just like her to know that
the technic doesn't go over SO well.
The customs officer would lust as
soon chalk her up for big duty when
she gets through. And the next per-
son in line is very likely to do worse
by her She'd better watch herself.

Dorothy Dix Says
If Women Dress for Men They Should
Revert to Styles Hiding Defects.

please men, it brings out some amaZ-
ing contradictions in human nature,
or proves that men don't know what
they like, or something For vomen's
clothes. and especially women's hats,
are the butt of half the masculine
jokes. Probably not one husband in
hundred can refrain from getting
funny over his wife's new Spring or
Winter outfit, even when he knows
he is going to have to pay for his
witticisms by buying new garments to
replace those with which he has made
her dissatisfied.
a ND aSSuredly women haven't taken
to pants to crafty the mascu-
line taste, for mems fancy in women's
clothes runs to frills and frivois In
stead OF britches. There Is nothing
alluring to man in girl who under
studies his little brother and never
quite hits the grade at that for women
in mems clothes never manage to
look like gentlemen. 1t Is an actual
statistical fact that when women
went feminine in their clothes and
began wearing long swishy skirts the
marriage market picked up.
AS for women wearing shorts, Moth
ing but blind self-conceit and over
weening vanity and an absence OF
mirrors can account for 1t. For, alas
and alack, the feminine legs that do
not fill the beholder with ribald
laughter are as scarce as hens teeth.
Bandy shanks and knobby knees
should be . secret between . girl and
her maker, and wise Is the one who
drapes the seven wells of illusion
about her and conceals her defects
Clothes are mighty kind TO most
women and they cast them aside at
their peril.
Evening star., 1937-07-21

THAT clothes are women's major
preoccupation in life, no one
will seriously deny. Let some
L good fortune happen to
woman, and her first impulse is to
rush out and buy new dress to cele-
brate her luck. In her hour of de-
spair clothes are the staff and rod
upon which she leans Buying her
mourning clothes has kept many a
bereaved widow from committing sui
eide upon her husbands grave. And
in between times, when existence is
just one dull thing after another, there
Is toujours Ia toilette, as the French
say, to put pep into things.
THIS absorption of women in clothes
has caused endless debate about the
why, and especially the who for, do
women dress. Do they dress to please
men? Do they dress to make each
other envious? Or do they dress just
to crafty their own vanity and be-
cause they were born with an ata-
vistic longing for fine feathers?
1nasmuch as the arguments on
one side Of the subject were as con-
vincing as those on the other. the
matter continued to remain in doubt
until recently when a survey was made
Of the various institutions Of learn
Ing. This survey showed that girls
who attended women's colleges paid
little attention to dress and wore
loose, comfortable, serviceable frocks
and fat-heeled shoes, whereas girls
in coeducational schools were dolled
up to the limit and went in strong
for glad raiment and the latest thing
In fancy spike-heeled sandals.
This seems to prove conclusively
that woman dress to please men and
that II this were an Adamless Eden
We would throw away our corsets and
slouch around In kimonos and save
. lot Of money. But cannot whole
heartedly agree with this theory.
While we recognize the value of
fluttering ribbon In tagging a man
down and the potency Of pink chiffon
In snaring his fancy, still anG all, It
= to other women that We turn for
verdict on our clothes Their
applause We value Their criticism
We fear. Any old rag looks good to
the average man provided it is OF
gay color. but sister will know whether
1t Is . Paris CONNECTION or came out
Of the bargain basement shop.

Both sweet corn and roasting ears
should be Juicy and tender, with
bright, plump, milky kernels just firm
enough to offer slight resistance to
pressure But sweet corn should have
an added sweetness
If either type corn is too immature,
the kernels will be very small, soft
and fiavorless. If it is too mature, the
change from milky content to a
doughy texture has begun and the
kernels are tough. The range of
time during which the corn is of
excellent quality is somewhat longer
with sweet corn than with field corn.
"TOLOR is no guide to corn type,
There are yellow and white
varieties among both, though the field
corn sold for cooking is usually white.
In some varieties the husks indicate
corn type. Field corn husks are uSu-
ally smooth. Sweet corn husks often
end in small blades which hang free
in ribbonhke ends.
In many sections of the country
there is preference for big ears.
But big ears are not characteristic of
sweet corn, which usually runs from
7 to inches in length and smaller in
diameter than does field corn. An g.
inch ear is a good long one for Col
den Bantam, for instance. Country
Gentleman is one of the few sweet
corn varieties in which large size has
been developed.
Both in field corn and in sweet
corn the slenderness of the ear tells
nothing as to kernel. The slender ear
may carry just as much kennel as a
large, coarse ear.
Ear worm is a pest to both types

Acquired
At Beach
Sand and Sea Reflect
the Rays, Giving a
Double Dose.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

7 Asst week We were talking about
reflected sunlight being equally
as harmful in burning the skin as di-
rect sunshine. Remember that it is
the short, ultraviolet rays, the ac-
tinic rays of the sun that do the
damage and the darkening
A nelghbor of ours acquired a very
severe burn the very first day at the
beach. She expressed surprise, be-
cause she lives in the suburbs all year
around and is almost constantly out
of-doors
Il can't understand it." she said.
Il am always out of DOORS and l
never burn. In fact, one reason why
did not protect my skin from the
sun is the fact that 1 was SO sure I
wouldn't-couldn't burn"
Obviously the explanation was that
one Is more likely to burn more readily
at the beach, near sand and sea than
inland. One is undoubtedly more
exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
Added to that, sand and sea reflect
the suns rays SO that one is actually
getting a double dose.
Too many people make the mis-
take OF overestimating the resistance
OF their own skin, or Understanding
the powers of Old Sol.
Another mistake is to expect one
application Of oil or cream to do
thorough preventive job in spite of
hours OF exposure. I've seen women
come to the beach equipped with Jar
or bottle; apply their preventive
then expose the skin to the di-
rect rays of the sun And in the
case of severe burn we humans
are all too quick to blame the product
as not sufficiently effective. There is
no knowing how much worse the burn
might have been had not the preven-
tive been applied. And there Is no
knowing how much less severe the
burn would have been If the applica-
ton had been repeated several times
or better yet exposure limited to not
more than 10 or Is minutes. Until the
skin has built up its own resistance
against the tanning, burning Of It's
coat, repeated applca tions Of preven-
IiNC SICnAA VI oli every 4ld1 uOuI are
none too frequent.
The golfer, swimmer, sportswoman
should keep bottle Of oil or sunproof-
ing cream in her locker, or better vet,
take it with her to links or beach and
apply it religiously.
The value of sunproofing prepara-
tions is not to be measured by their
prevention Of sunburn alone. Remem-
Der that they not only lessen the in
tensity Of the ultra violet rays Of the
sun. but in addition avoid the damage
that such burn would bring with it
the coarsening of the skin, the drying.
roughening, thickening and general
havoc.

One shop tells us that they always
stock laces and always have calls for
them. Lace is a good choice for the
conservative woman. In black it may
be the backbone of her evening ward
robe, for it is always ready and right
when summery organdies need press
ing and flowered chiffons are taking
time out at the cleaners
A black lace frock is easily made to
have many moods by change of ac-
cessories. 1t becomes youthful by the
addition Of bright sandals and a chif-
fon square-fame red, Kelly green or
royal blue; handsome corsage of Or
chidS makes it suitable for a very i'm
portant occasion; while black slippers
and rhinestone clip make it serve for
less formal affair
And for the traveller, as We have
often said before, lace is the outstand-
ing choice. For cruises it is unsur-
passed, for no matter how far you
travel, the lace dress will come out of
the trunk looking as well as it did be-
fore 1t started its journey. OF course, a
thln lace that has been stifened with
starch Or other means will lose much

moisture, just as any other sheer cot

WE FOUND a perfectly fascinating
black lace dinner dress the other
day in a local shop that was up-to-
the-mlnute in newness, and just about
the most practical and useful frock
that one could imagine 1t was a thin
lace that resembled val insertion whip
ped together horizontally, only it was
woven in one piece and used over
black satin for the skirt portion, which
extended in curve up onto the waist
where a bra-top of white satin built it
up TO the height Of the usual underslip.
A tailored waist of white net with COL
lar band tying at the front and row
OF crystal buttons was covered by a
Jaunty bolero with very perky cap
sleeves. The skirt was close fitting to
about knee length and from that point
rippled out to wide, full hemline
stlf1ened at the bottom. 1t was the
kind Of more or less classic black and
white dress that always looks well for
dinner and informal evenings, and is
essentially youthful.
Black lace over black satin Is ex-
tremely smart. 1t is beautifully done
in the evening gown shown in the pho
to9raph, which has several new de-
tails. The wide V-neck is made very
interesting at the shoulders, which
are covered with the fullness tied into
triangular openings for the arms. Note
also the corselet line through the
waist, which in this case assures the
slimmest possible lines, as that section
is made Of elastic satin, so that it fits

just like the proverbial paper on
the wall" Three large, fluffy red
flowers draw attention to the yards
Of lace that have been put into the
| skirt. This romantic design Is one
of the new presentations for late Sum-
mer and Fall.
r EFERRING again to dresses In our
own shops, dusty pink and light
blue seem to be well represented Most
of them have jackets with formak"
underneath. Sometimes the jacket Is
a bolero and then again 1t Is fitted
with peplum. The thinner laces like
Chantilly are particularly Summery
and youthful-looking. The heavier
laces are best adapted to gowns with
fitted lines and are well liked by the
matron, often being chosen by the
mother of the bride at q formal
wedding. Embroidered net has 4

pensive frocks.
At the movies this week you will
see one Of the favorite screen stars in
her latest picture in which she wears
lovely bridal gown Of lace It Is q
princess model with soft, draped lines
and an unusual use of flowers In the
form Of an orange blossom spray
fastened along the decolletage to tbs
WalStline. The lace bride Is very
glamorous and is strong rival OF the
satin classics.
From Paris comes word OF the
Pavilion de rElegance, where the
French designers are showing some
Of their loveliest creations. Madeleine
Vionnet has been highly praised for
her exhibit from an artistic stand
point. The mannequins used for this
display are all done in plaster OF q
puky beige color. Nine. Vionnet has
matched this color perfectly in the
gowns which she is showing One Of
these IS frock with intricately draped
bodice of soft flattering material which
tops stiffly fiaring skirt Of lace in
large scroll design. The gown has
been sprinkled with gold dust to give
it scintillating radiance as it is spot
lighted in the exhibit, producing q
stunning effect.
Jean Patou is exhibiting q white
evening coat Of fiat pasted ostrich
feathers which have been lacquered
and worked into a lace-like pattern.
The mannequins, by the way, are
quite different from any mannequins
seen before. The work Of the French
sculptor Couturier, they stand nearly
7 feet high, with extreme slender
ness OF the torso, in contrast TO the
legs, thereby emphasizing the cur
rent fashion trend for wasp-like dia-
phragm and waist The faces are
made without features and the poses
are ultra modern and dramatic In tbs
extreme, enhanced by exquisite fabric
colors and modern lighting.
