This weeks column is dedicated to
the "pleasingly plump" women; that
is, those of you who are inclined to
be short, fat, and stocky which is not
pleasing at all for try as you may all
the reducing diets, exercises, etc. you
still stay overweight. Of course you
can't change your figure but you can
change your couture, your makeup and
your clothes with an eye to looking
taller and Simmer. The solution of
this problem is to emphasize vertical
rather than horizontal lines in the fol-
lowing ways. First, your couture.
Don't encircle your face with curls
for it will only make your face look
broader; instead draw your hair up
and off the neck and ears, pile it high
on top of your head and keep your hair
as fiat as possible. The new up-swings
are ideal for broad-faced women for
they tend to make you look taller and
thew lengthen your face. If your
eyebrows grow too close together they
will make your face look wider. So
pluck the hairs near the bridge of the
nose and then use an eyebrow pencil
to lengthen the hairs at the outer cor
ners. This will make your face look
narrower for it will broaden your fore
head in comparison to your wide
cheeks. If you have never used
cheek rouge before, try it only as a
means Of changing your facial contour.
Keep the rouge close to your nose and
away from your ears-the broadcast
part of your face. | happen to belong
to the "moon-faced" category, also and
here is how l always apply my rouge:
incidentally, cream rouge blends bet
ter.) Make two long sweeps-one
starting from underneath the eye and
out toward the cheeks, and the other
stroke starting from the same point
and sweeping down to the outer cor
nors of the mouth. Blend carefully.
Incidentally, a slight touch of rouge
on the chin will make your face look
longer, too. . Contrary to belief, a
woman who has large face can not
make it look smaller by making up her
mouth small. So build up your lips to
their natural fullness, putting the
largest amount of lipstick in the cen
ter lower lip to lengthen your face.

and waist look smaller by wearing

This season even the most modest
shopping budget can take care of
this need without difficulty for
stores throughout the country are
showing a tempting array of frocks
in a bewildering variety of in
triguing prints, and at pin-money
prices.
Utility dresses that are equally
at home on resort boardwalks, coun-

avenues or your own home and gar
den path are designed in both tai
lored spectator types and softly
styled dressmaker models that af-
ford ample range of choice for all
tastes and figures. Whether you
wear misses, women's, little Wom-
ems, or larger sizes, there are
many styles planned for your type,
in appropriate up-to-the-minute
prints.
These glorified budget frocks not
only have style and quality and
charming looks to recommend them
but they are modernized to the nth
degree with such practical virtues
as built-in dress shields made with
out rubber so that they go along
with the frock safely and repeatedly
into the tub, or to the dry cleaner.
Their styling takes into account the
factor of making the dresses easy
to iron, a detail appreciated and
sought for by every woman who
buys carefully.

Fashions Stress
Color AffiliQtion
Current Mode Seems Built
Around That Idea.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

If you do not by inheritance pos
sess a fine color instinct then the
next best thing to do is to develop
it, for in order to dress up to the
mark in this day and generation you
simply must tknow' color.
The whole structure of current
mode seems to be built around the
basic idea of color-color that affili-
ates, color that carries through the
entire costume from start to finish
down to the slightest detail either
by blend, match or contrast.
Which leads US to tell you about
one of the happiest happenstances
that ever occurred in fashions do
main. It's the getting together of
certain leaders in the style world
in group known as Color Affiliates,
whose object it is to answer the
matching-color question for fashion
wise women in village, hamlet,
town, big city the country over. To
solve the problem this group of color
enthusiasts have agreed on certain
authoritative new colors to be ac-
curately matched and used in
gloves, handbags, hats, hosiery and
so on.
What could be simpler than to go
to one department in a store and
name a color that by magic be-
comes reality before your eyes,
then 60 to counter after counter and
get the accessory items you seek
in perfectly matched color simply
by mentioning the name of the same
color.
Ladies, your nerve-wracking,
maddening color quests are over.
No more weary foot-sore treking
from one counter to another with
sample in hand frantically striving
to match the this to the that in
your costume! And the result should
be, will be, spring fashion pic
ture of exquisite colors in beauti-
fully executed and high-styled ac-
cessories, that tune to perfect en-
sembling.

Swish Of Tdffetd
Welcomes SprinO

Taffeta is a favorite silk this
spring. The biggest "swish" taft
feta is making is in the cunning
little girl' petticoats that every
move of the new stylish swing skirts
will be making when the pageantry
of spring fashions takes place. The
taffetas employed range from mon
otones in any of the new high colors
to candy-striped or polka dot eff
fects.
Taffeta for the daytime dress, too,
if you please and very smart street
suits tailored of taffeta are shown.
For your bouffant party dress
choose taffeta and flounce it in tiers
if you wish to follow the last word
in fashion.

EYEBROWS CHANGE FACIAL
EXPRESSION

Personality eyebrows may sound
like a little too much. But if you'll
do little experimenting with an eye
brow pencil you'll soon find that
changing the shape of your eyebrows
changes the expression of your eyes.
And most ladies eyes are their most
important feature.
If your face is long and narrow you
probably will want to lengthen the
eyebrows to make your face look
broader
If your face is too broad, you'll
achieve an illusion of comparative
thinness by keeping the brows fairly
short.
Experimenting with three or four
styles with eyebrow pencil before you
make up your mind is a good idea.
There are eight styles of eyebrows.
ORIENTAL-The brow is low at
the inner points, high at the outer
points, high at the outer ends. Makes
eyes appear longer.
PIQUANT-More or less the oppo-
site of the oriental; slightly thicker
near brow; slants down.
CRESCENT - Leaves as much
space as possible in the middle be-
tween brow and eye. It's carefully
arched, leaving ends close to nose.
Line may be drawn down a little
(lengthened) at outer ends.
DAINTY-Short, sharp arch, makes
face look thinner. Center of arch is
thicker than the rest.
DEBUTANTE-Line is thin in
comparison to the conservative.
CONSERVATIVE - Scraggly ends
are removed but the natural contour
is not changed much.

 Atty. Dawson recounted the asso- citation of Di Pastino with the Meri- den bank since the time he under took management of the first of six properties for which he collected rents during the years 1932.19S8. He told the court his client may have been guilty of "slipshod bookkeep- ing" but held that the bank had accepted delayed reports during a considerable period.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald prosecuted the embezzlement case and referred to the civil case which DiPastino entered against the Meriden bank to recover al- legged money due him after his ar- rest on the banks complaint July l4, 1888.
 Much of the defense argument dealt with the discharge of various duties by DePastino in the banks behalf, with emphasis by Attor. ney Dawson on the rates established by the Waterbury Real Estate Board for agents collecting rents.
 A number of DiPaStino's friends were in court both from Waterbury and New Britain, prepared to testify to the character of the accused But Judge Munger remarked: q don't think that will be necessary The mans record over the past 24 years is excellent"

 The judge, before pronouncinf sentence, referred to the seriousness. of the charge. He expressed sym. pathy with the background of tht case as 1t related to DiPast;no'i excellent record and standing in tho community but said that he felt he must impose a penalty. The fact that restitution had been made tc the banks satisfaction entered into his consideration, he said.
 Another change of plea to guilty was made in the cases of James McGrath, charged with three counts of forgery in connection with the fraudulent issue of Waterbury Clock Co.,, checks. and in obtaining money under false pretenses charge against Joseph Teller, who was rep resented by Attorney John T.

Teller was fined $50 and given suspended sentence of three months on one count, with two counts nolled by the court.
