-Korth Photo.
By EMILY POST.


Dear Mrs. Post: What type OF
place cards do you think in best
taste? Please give the approximate
size and also tell on what occasions
they are properly used and where
at each place they are stood. Also
please tell me whether the family
coat OF arms is ever embossed on
place cards.
Answer-Beginning with your last
question first, this is one of the few
times when the use of a crest is
proper. 1t should be very small In
size, either embossed without color
or in silver, and without motto
The approximate size of a place
card is 2% inches wide by IA or
inches high. The higher size is ne
cessary when a crest is used. Plac,
cards are laid on top of the napkir
Just below its monogram. The propel
place for the napkin is on the serv-
ice plate. Place cards are used al
women's lunches of eight or at din.
ners of 10 and over.
Dear Mrs. Post: We're giving Q
dinner in honor of two youne
friends who are being married
shortly. In this case I hardly think
the guests of honor should be sepa-
rated and seated at my right and
my husbands right the way. they
ordinarily are seated. But Where
should they be seated?
Answer-At a dinner given fol
people who are engaged, they are
always seated together, contrary tt
the never seated together husband
and wife" The girl therefore shoulc
be seated at your husbands right
and her fiance on her right.

Independence
Of Children
Good Sign
Youngsters Who
Have This Spirit
Will Succeed
BY ANGELO PATRT.

1t isn't dead yet. In spite of all
conditions. the spirit of independ-
ence, OF personal responsibility, still
lives IN the coming generation. we
saw 1t clearly this last graduation
time.
The youngest teacher was pairing
on the graduates for the grand
march, and Michael slipped from
under his hands and went to his
teacher, who was nearby.
Miss Orrie, I can't come to grad
uation, so should not be counted
for the march"
There's only one reason for alb
sence at graduation, Michael, and
as you are quite well. and very
healthy, it can't be that. Come In
here. Close the door. Now out
with it. What's wrong2"
Il can't have new suit. Miss
Orrie. Fathers been sick, so we are
behind, and I can't worry them
about getting me a suit. And can't
earn 1t, either. I've tried. So I'm
not coming"
Nonsense, Michael. I'll buy you
a suit and welcome. This afternoon
you come down with me"
mo" The no was downright and
final. Michael explained. IT would t
take a suit from anybody. When
can earn one, all right. I can do
without until then. It's all right.
I had to tell you, so the march
wouldn't be spoiled"
Miss Orrie talked 1t over with the
head. "No, let him alone. Maybe,
though, we can find a suit that
doesn't have to be paid for and we
can give it to his mother for him.
There will be no question about a
money debt then, and maybe we can
get him to accept 1t that way"
A friend had an extra suit-one
he could not wear-and it was just
right for Michael. He reported to
Miss Orrie that it had been deliv-
cred, how the good friend had sent
1t, not needing it himself, and how
glad he was to accept it. It would
not have to be paid for in money.
He was going to do some work for it.
Clean and whitewash the friends
cellar; give the furnace a thorough
cleaning and paint her up; clean all
the windows and tidy up the garage
And thanks so much for helping
him out. Now he had suit and
wasn't in debt.
Michael will get along. He Is 60
ing to high school and to college
He knows how he Is going to pay
his way for the first year, anyway
and by that time he will know how
to get by for the next. "You need
your friends in this world" said
Michael, solemnly, "but you mustn't
let them make it soft for you. Il
you do, you lose them, and you don't
help yourself any. That's what my
father says, and my mother, too"
Born in this country, Michael?'
"Oh, sure. My father was born ir
Germany and my mother In Italy
and all us kids here. There's six oi
Us. I'm the oldest. We're all ir
school now except the little fellow
and he comes next year. Oh, sure
we're Ill Americans. Thanks : lot
fer helping me-"

Proportions
For Dress
Learn Style Notes
That Give Figure
The Best Lines
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The cardinal rule Of figure FASH
ioning, for the woman of 40-plus,
Is to master a sense of proportion.
Why strive for a tiny waist if your
hips and bust are large? And too
slim hips are no beauty asset to
the middle-aged woman who has
broad shoulders and an extra heavy
bosom.
Once your figure has reached un-
lovely proportions, your problem is
to refashion it in scale. For ex-
ample, very slender woman whose
hips have spread considerably. must
either bring down her hip measure
ment, if possible, or bring her whole
body into scale with her hip meas
urement. The short woman must
avoid broadening effects; and the
tall woman must seek to broaden her
figure bit. Thus one may approach
the proportions Of normally beau
tiful figure, without actually having
the measurements of one.
Quoting from a fashion expert I
pass on to you these words of wis
dom. ''The principles of beautiful
proportion are, of course, quite in
dependent Of style and mode. Un-
fortunately, styles and modes are
often quite independent of heauti-
full proportion. AS the eye becomes
accustomed to seeing them, poor
proportions may seem more beauti-
full than they really are. Thus, low
beltlines encircling the hips create
proportion difficult for many fig
ures, yet, when they were the rule,
other beltlines seemed awkward.
"The same is true of fads. such
as short skirts, light-colored no.
siery, and cloche hats. In every
mode there are degrees, and every
woman profits by knowing what
devices display her figure to best
advantage.
With the figure, as with the face,
the aim in design should be to en-
phasize pleasing features and to
center interest away from unat-
tractive ones"
In selecting clothes to wear you
must bear in mind that a we'll
designed costume has only one
major center of interest, which Is
usually near the face. There may
by two or three minor accents but
they should in no way detract from
the more flattering main interest.
Here are few rules to guide you
in shopping for clothes.
l. A straight narrow skirt en-
phasizes the upper part of the body;
flaring skirt Gf not too full at waist
line) equalizes a figure.
2. Severe, close fitting necklines
make a large bust look larger.
3. Cross-wise lines increase bosom
width; up-and-down lines create
length and are slimming.
4. V-necklines, or deep V-shape
vestee fronts are most flattering
to a woman with a large bosom.
S. Too snugly fitting clothes en-
phasize a large figure; loose folds
tend to conceal unlovely contours
If expertly draped.
6. No large woman especially
with large hips) should wear shiny
surfaced materials-they highlight
and make her appear larger than
she actually is.
Z. Light colors contrasted with
darker colors emphasize measure
ments. If your bust Is large and
your hips slim wear dark blouses
and lighter skirts. If your hips
are large wear light blouses and
darker skirts.

forward manner and arrive at a
mutual basis of understanding
when will you ever be able to do so?
This young man complains about
his troubles. Here is what I have
experienced and what now faces me.
To others they may be problems, but
I enjoy them.
For four years I had travelled
around with various girls, who
finally disguised me so that I finally
decided it would be long time be-
fore I made another date. Actu-
ally, it was IA months. But today
I thank my stars for those months
Of waiting, for at last I have been
rewarded.
II am "a and the girl is 10. She
lives in Town A and I live in Town
B. have no car and the rail dis
tance is IS miles. I met her while
stationed In Town A for three
months. I met her the first day
was there, but I waited three weeks
before dating her. Then we saw
each other almost every other day
Now I have been in Town B for
two months, and there is no prospect
of my returning to Town A to work
In those two months we have been
together five times.
"She has a stepfather who quar-
relied with her so much that she was
forced to move next door to live
with her aunt. That was before
we met. Now, how can I get an
invitation to dinner, the absence OF
which distressed the young mar
who wrote to your column? Ger
tainly not from my girls mother
And you can't expect her aunt tt
be bothered with me yet. But thi.
is the least of my worries, because
understand the problem.
Here's how we manage our dates
At Christmas I was in Town A Il
see her. On New Year Day w
met in Philadelphia. and saw th'
parade and a show. Two weeks later
We saw each other for two days in
Town A, and again two weeks after
that. On February 10 and II sht
went to New York to visit her grand
mother, and we had our dates there
In the meantime we correspond

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Employers Are More Concerned
With Ability Than Good Looks

to look at me, but while am no
movie star, I am as good looking as
the average. In fact, I have been
called pretty at times. But If I am
not attractive enough to obtain en-
ployment, I am certainly not at
tractive enough to get a husband. OF
course, like every other 18-year-old
girl, have always dreamed of love
and marriage. and if that is out,
there is nothing left for me in life.
What about 1t?
DESPERATELY UNHAPPY.
Answer: l think the woman in
the employment agency who told you
that she could not get you a job
because you were not Miss Amer
lea" knew very little about her busi-
ness, because it is not true that
the average business man demands
that all of his female employees
shall have passed a beauty test.
OF course, there are certain lines
Of work. such as modelling in swanky
dress shops. Photographic modelling
for advertisements, being chorus
girls or In the movies, where good
looks are a requisite. but the ordi-
nary employer doesn't care two bits
whether the girl he hires has a
pug nose or a Grecian profile or
whether she is blond or brunette.
He wants her. of course, to be neat
and clean and suitably dressed so as
not to be hard on the eyes, but
beyond that all he is concerned with
is her ability to do what she is hired
to do efficiently and be pleasant to
get along with.
Indeed, 50 far from beauty Of a
spectacular character being an asset
to girl in business it is a draw
back. Leaving aside the very few
employers who pick out their
secretaries for their pulchritude
and not for their spelling, busi-
ness men prefer to employ girls
whose looks do not call attention to
them. It saves jealousy on the part
of their wives. 1t keeps the male
employees from wasting their time
and the girls by hanging over her
desk. And it prevents flirtatious
customers from lingering around
trying to date her.
I once asked business man why
he had replaced a certain very
beautiful young secretary he had
with an old and homely woman:
II hated to let her co." he said, 'be-
cause she was fine and intelligent
and a good worker, but she put
everything she earned op her back
and every man who came into the
Office would give me nudge and
say: Who's the little queen?' And
that didn't do her or me or the
office any good"
So as far as getting job is con-
cerned, your lack of beauty cuts no
ice. Go to some other agency and
the question will not be raised.
Neither will it keep you from get
ting married. Look about you and
see how many of the married women
you observe could ever have quail
fled in a bathing beauty contest.
Men are merely theoretical beauty
worshipers. When it comes down
to really picking out wife, inteln-
gence, charm, sweet disposition, a
jolly nature all are better bets than
just looks. DOROTHY DIX.
Evening star., 1940-03-14

p DEAR DOROTHY DIX-Is it true
that a girl must be beautiful before
she can get employment? I have
just been told by a woman who
runs a placement agency that If
were not quite so tall and a bit bet
ter looking she would have no
trouble in getting me a position
because my work was far above the
average. but as I am she cannot
get me a job. Do all employers
feel this way about a girls looks?
If were hideous or malformed in
some way. I could understand why
no employer would want to have

regularly. We usually write eight
pages, and our letters are binding
us closer together each day. I start
a subject, and in her letter she con-
tinues the discussion. We keep
nothing from each other.
Each of us has the respect and
the admiration of the others par
ents. She was at my house on
Thanksgiving and made a fine i'm
preston on my family. I enjoy the
privilege of knowing that her mother
likes me and approves of our out-of-
town dates as long as she is with me.
THE distance that separates us,
our jobs, our families, our dates, our
friends, our future, our thoughts
and ideals-all have been discussed
thoroughly. We have never once
said an unkind word to each other.
We have every respect for the others
habits, ideals, faults, heart and mind.
This understanding of every little
problem has brought us happiness,
and increased our love for each
other.
Like your earlier letter-writer, I
am not working at present. But it
doesn't worry us yet. If it should,
I know that the solid foundation
we have laid will enable us to face
the problem and settle it without
a quarrel.
I'VE both are plain people, both
only high school graduates. We are
trying to live simple life, filled
with hope and love and UNDER
standing.
Sincerely yours

pretty swell letter. Good luck to
