and the foundation Of the whole busi-

the figure over which it is worn.
Modern corsetry can almost make

and molds the natural lines into the
most flattering silhouette, all with a
due regard for comfort that was un-

changes in silhouette have all led in
the direction Of natural, youthful
allure. Today we look at three strategic
points and expect to find them as near
perfect Is the individual can make
them.
First Is the bustline which should be

There Is longer line between bust

The waistline Is the next point of
attack. 1t must have definite, shapely
curves, and is pulled in little more
tightly than we have been accustomed
to. Take a deep breath and see how

blond is once more highly popular,
so Paris tells us.
It's all gay panorama OF color.
More color in clothes. More color in
makeup Ca soft. subtle, feminine,
blended color Misunderstanding harsh
or too obviously artificial about it,
more color in the hair. Brunette heads,
not to be outdone, take on high,
silken, glittering, jet black or blue
black sheen. Honey blonds have more
of the mellow honey shade; chestnut
hair boasts more reddish highlights.
Emphasis on color.
And the peaches and cream COM
plexion that usually goes with blond
hair is back. More white and blue and
pink tones in the skin-less yellow and
orange. You have to ban tan. There
are no longer two ways about 1t. There
may have been at summers end; but
now fashion frowns on freckles and
tan gardenia whiteness with q
bit OF pink in the cheeks and live
lier pink in the lips, that's the vogue.
That means more clear red or blue
red in the rouge; more pink and ivory
tones in the powder; plenty of bleach

white beauty; bleaching for the hands
and arms and back and gradual
change from the suntan nail polish
tones to clearer blue red polish to
compliment the skin tone and the
makeup.
It's an era of splendor; individuality,
yes: but mixed with glamour, with
wealth. And because it's inconsistent
to adopt that lavishness unless one
looks ones loveliest, it's as well for
each and every one Of US to look to

Dorothy Dix Says
It's No Disgrace to Be an "Old Maid"
in This Enlightened Age.

she stands over the cooking stove, you
know that some predestined old maid
has Muddled up her fate by getting
married, and that both she and her
husband would have been happier if
she had stayed single. She wasn't
intended to marry any more than the
tongue-tied man was intended to be
an oracle OF, homely woman to be a
bathing beauty.
or course, in the olden days when
husband was not only meal ticket
and card Of admission to society
but also badge of respectability, it
was obvious that every woman would
marry who could II she failed to do
SO 1t was an indication of her lack of
charm or enterprise and branded her
as failure as woman. But in these
Gays the old maids are sitting on top
Of the world with their pay envelopes
In one hand and their latch keys In

plane as bachelorhood now-some
thing that one takes or leaves as one

For woman to marry when she
feels she has vocation for 1t. in
order to avoid lonely old age is
certainly gamble that makes roulette
ana betting on horse race a sure
thing. For husbands are not depend

In thousand has one who is con-

feminine society. And thousands of
other married couples sit at home in
a silence SO thick you could cut It

provides his wife with the necessities

Nor can any woman count upon her
children for companionship, for as
soon as they can talk plainly enough
to be understood they are off and about
their own affairs. Such a thing as
staying at home and amusing mother
never even occurs to them.
For woman to marry the man she
loves and without whom she feels
life would be cinders, ashes and dust
is the happiest Of all fates for her,
but the most miserable is for her to
marry a man for whom she cares

IF A GIRL doesn't learn that men

But If she knows it before she has

he starts taking the freshman out for

that she's the sweetest thing that's

she'd be sweeter still II she chose the
only good sorority on the campus. The
upper classman makes love as Violent

OYSTER COCKTAIL.

~ ~ 4 ISAe WIN 4 AL.
This is matter entirely Of personal
preference. Some people won't look
at an oyster cocktail made with bulk
oysters; others insist that oysters on
the half shell" aren't cocktail
Technically, suppose they are right
So it is up to you to choose your first
course on this menu according to the
way you and your household feel
about it. But If you do use the bulk
oysters, be sure that the glass is
chilled, the oysters and the sauce very
cold, when served There is nothing
more repulsive than tepid oyster
cocktail!

TN SPITE OF the prevailing mascu-
line belief that all women are Just
crazy to get married many women
4 are celibate by nature. To them
man in the house is pain in the
neck. A rough, rude, untidy animal
with coarse appetites who Is always
demanding food and disarranging the
tides and tracking in mud, and who
makes lot OF extra work and trouble.
Many OF these women who were
spinsters even in the cradle have in
herited comfortable fortunes. Others
have good jobs that not only make
them financially independent, but
also that furnish them with an outlet
for their energies and ambitions, and
NIL their days with pleasant and ex-
citing work. Marriage holds no allure
for these women. They have no urge
to swap = mahogany desk for a gas
stove. They look with pity, not envy,
upon most Of the wives they know.
For they realize that they are freer,
have more money to spend upon them
selves and have shorter hours Of labor
than any except the most fortunate
Of married women.
If they followed their inclinations
they would remain in a state of single
blessedness. But, emancipated as they
are in other ways, they have not been
able to free themselves from the
traditional belief that unless a woman
acquires husband and children she
Is bound to spend a miserable and
lonely old age. Also that there Is
something discreditable in being an
old maid.
60 A lot of women, whom Nature
never intended to marry. fall into
blind panic when they get along in
their thirties, grab up the first man
they can get their hands on and rush
with him to the altar, no matter how
unsuited he is to them, no matter how
little affection they have for him, no
matter how little alluring the holy
estate is to them. But they feel they
must marry just a. they feel they
must take out an insurance policy.
That such marriages turn out dis
astrously is foregone conclusion be-
cause it takes not only lot of love,
but also lot OF aptitude to make a
marriage a success. You have to have
q talent for 1t as you have for paint
ing or singing or running a grocery.
You have to think it the most de-
sirable thing in the world and the
greatest career; you have to find thrill
and excitement in ministering to q
husband, taking care Of children, bak-
ing pies and sweeping floors; you have
to find Joy in sacrificing yourself to
your family TO make marriage a pay
ing proposition to woman.
The woman who is not natural
wife and mother simply cannot do
this. To her husband is an en-
forced companion who must be en-
dured. Her children are a burden.
Her housekeeping a bore. When you
hear = man complaining OF having q
cold and unsympathetic wife who does
not understand him; when you hear
