Well Turned Out
Women Pick Black
Allure of Mad Color Has
Not Hurt Popularity.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

What with the allure of all the
mad color that fashion voted in for
summer, it would seem that black
would take second place. On the
contrary, sentiment has veered
around in the direction of black to
the extent that well-turned-out wom-
en- are declaring in favor of stylish
black in no uncertain terms. The
hlgh-style costume of the moment
is black, sheers for the balrny days
and stunning heavy tailored silks
for cool temperature. All the way
through the witchery of black mag
&c is played up, even to dramatic
black hats that may be of the classic
large-brimmed felt types, or the
very charming sheer shirred net
shapes or enormous horsehair cape
lines which if worn back of the POM
padour are simply devastating in
glamour and chic.
That black is proving the introduce
tory theme for autumn, there is
no doubt. AS an initial "buy" your
best guess is chic one-piece black
dress. Emphasis is on one-piece
frocks that claim immediate atten-
ton wherever they go because of
their swank styling that accent the
new narrow lines, or the skirt with
wide flounce or the side Grapes.
Fashion makes it a point to style
each costume in terms of youth I'M
til nowadays the most piquant pert
apparel gives a new aspect to black
no such thought as black being
oldish in the snappy fattering black
outfits that are Stealing the show"
now and will continue to do so until
mad color asserts itself in time for
football and the round of winter So
cial activities.

Fashion Hints for
The College Girl

While the dress of the college girl
must assume a casual look, yet in
reality it must observe most metic-
ulous detail that insures for it style
distinction.
You will thrill with delight at the
sight of the new featherweight jer-
sey dresses styled in classic sim
plicity but spectacular at that be-
cause of the fringed shawl of the
self-jersey that is thrown noncha-
lantly about ones shoulders.
And then there are the newest-of-
the-new pinafore frocks. Can imagi-
nation go beyond this-a navy dress
with a bright red pinafore of sheer
wool with pleated apron skirt and
a jumper top all carried out in de-
mure little girl fashion yet skillfully
tuned to teen age wear? You will
want to include one of the new and
clever drawstring models done in
jersey. They are fitted to waist with
drawstrings that tie in front. An
other suggestion is plaid skirt with
suede shirt in bright monotone.

MRS. ELIZA GALLOWAY = AN
OH 1nHtnntan
By Mary E. Moore

Mrs. Eliza Galloway of AIT Mass
Ave. of whom l am delighted to pay
this tribute, is an Old Bostonian 81
wears Young. One would have to see
and know her to be convinced that a
product of the Old School is modern,
and progressive even to hair style.
When she called on the writer three
weeks ago, she was attired in light
blue summer silk with white lace on
sleeves and neck, white shoes and
stockings, white bag, gloves and hat
dainty with touch of black lace, her
hair croquignoled and arranged in the
prevailing style-with a bright smile
that has always been her charm and a
sparkle in her eye. l exclaimed to her,
"You are a pictured" When the visit
ended, asked if l might write short
biography of her life to which she
readily and with evident pleasure as
sented.
| found her waiting for me in her
very modern kitchenette apartment
exquisitely groomed, her heavy gray
hair in beautiful up-do, and gowned
in a pink and blue house coat. She
greeted me with her customary warm
welcome, and the interview began. I
urged her to tell me as much of her
life from the early years up to the
present time. Not long after her mar
riage she was left widow with two
small children to rear, Harry and
Matte. 81 lived at that time" she

South End. There I opened Board
ing House and Laundry, employing
eight women to assist me-fve in the
Laundry, and three to assist with the
cooking and serving of meals, and do
ing the chamber work" Asked who
were some of the people that stopped
at her home, she replied that the list
was so long she scarcely knew where

RAIN IN SUMMER


The afternoon grew darkening from
the west;
A hush fell on the air, and in the
trees;
The huddled birds pronounced their
prophecies;
The flowers bent their heads as if to
rest
Now that the tide of the suns golden
seas
In one long wave swept off the earth's
wide breast.
Up sprung deft shadowy patterns by
degrees,
And natures face her soul made mani
fest.
Lo, in the instant, slant, like hang
ing string
Of silver glass beads, pendant from
the clouds
The rain descends! Leaves sing, and
wavering
The tall 1.-THE grasses dance in sep
arate crowds.
l stand and let my soul commune, it
knows
The mystery that calls it from it's
close.

IT'S high time to be tackling the
go-to-school wardrobe problem.
So far as millinery is concerned,
thanks to the charming fashion of
wearing bewitching little match tur-
bans, such as have been so ire
mendously popular of late, the col
lege girls plan of action is made
perfectly clear Just keep in mind
the slogan "a matching turban with
every frock or blouse or suit. 4"
Sounds like a big order, doesn't it,
but truth is it's as simple a way to
get rid of the hat question as we
know.
Not that new fall turbans are 60
ing to repeat summer versions. In
deed not! Just watch and see what
happens when the fall style parade
is in full swing. You are going to
see the most captivating, unusual
little pompadour connections enroll
under the turban regime, that fancy
can picture.
Designers are bending their efforts
to create turbans that take kindly
to the idea of being posed back of
the new pompadour hairdo. So when
you take piece of your dress goods
to match up a turban to go with your
new fall frock be sure the model you
select is the kind that will set off
your dattering pompadour curls to
perfection. Note the turban shown
in the oval below to the left. Here
a bright red drape is brought
through golden ring in a way
that gives the exotic far east caste
to the picture. 1t tells you that tur-
bans that tilt forward go fifty-fifty
with the very new pompadour types.
Assuming that you will be getting
together whole collection of tur-
bans to match with each dress a
self-fabric headpiece) we especially
cite the "chignon" turban as a must
have in the group. The turban with

by business during all those years I'M
til my son Harry and my daughter
Matte, were old enough to assist me-"
She asked me if l knew her son,
Harry, and when l replied in the
affirmative, her face was truly beau
tiful to see. Harry Burwell was a
member of Old Company L, and
fought in the Spanish-American War.
Prior to that time he had worked for
27 years as clerk for very prominent
lawyer. For % years he was secretary
of Castle William Lodge of Masons,
and for Is years treasurer of Pioneer
Lodge of Elks. He was very popular
and well-loved Matte, my daugh-
teri, she said, twas always my faith
full companion and never failed to hold
up her end with the work when one
of the women failed to come on duty"
She spoke so lovingly of this son and
daughter, both deceased.
81 was a member of the Old Revere
st. Methodist Episcopal Church (now,
4th Methodist), even though I've been
Christian Scientist for "a years, a
member of the Mother Church, a part

light in that historic House. Ny

moved into the House and served as
the first custodians for the League.
For five years had full charge of the
house" We reminisced about the
memorable times when Mrs. Galloway
and her children welcomed members
and hosts of visitors at 558 Mass. Ave-
Mrs. Portia Craddock who is hair
dresser now, and has written articles
on Beauty Culture for THE GUARD
IAN, is her only grandchild. I told my
charming hostess that l thought she
had given valiant service to humanity
during her 81 years. Her answer to
my query about keeping her perpetual
youth was that she had given her
best to her fellow men, and now she is
truly enjoying the fruits of her labor.
So ended the interview. 1t was truly
inspiring to be accorded the privilege
of interviewing one who had witnessed
so broad an expanse of history in this,
our historic Boston.

1t won't be long now! And of course
l mean cit won't be long now" until
summer will pass into one of the most
beautiful seasons of the year
Fall!
Spring and Fall are natures choice
seasons, because they are "in-be-
tween" seasons, with Summer and
Winter being so much more severe
During Summer, for example, we've
had terrific battle for neatness in
appearance, and to keep ourselves
fresh and charming. Skin and hair
two important elements in beauty
have been subjected to too much sun
and even too much water if you're a
swimming enthusiast.
But the approach Of Fall gives you
a better opportunity for beauty
Cooler days! More romantic evenings!
A chance for greater variety in dress!
An opportunity to plan and stick with
new program for beauty!
Beauty, so often claimed exclusively
by the young, really means "some-
thing which is lovely; enchantment;
the condition of being attractive, or
pretty" That can apply to the older
as well as younger individual.
Because the hair is so important in
individual beauty (for men as well as
womenD and because the hair has
taken such a lambasting from Sum-
mer's sun and heat, I'm primarily
talking about the care of the hair in
today's column. You may find your
hair more unruly, bit coarser in tex
ture now than it was at the start of
the Summer. If older, you may find
that it shows more visible traces Of
older age.
This is due to several reasons.
You've subjected it to the sun, proba-

Two-piece jacket-suits dramatic

new color contrast suggestions of

The schemes are worked out with
monotone tweeds coupled with plaids
and stripes. Lots of plaid is on the
way for fall. 1t will be tailored into
long coats, into separate jackets and
for the costume entire.

Suede for Sports
Is Coming for Fall

Soft glove suede is being used by
Voris, a West coast designer, in a
collection of sports dresses for fall.
One dress of suede, in a pottery
pink shade, is collarless and has
soft, impressed pleats in the skirt.
The belt is just a wide sash of
brown suede. Another dress of beige
suede has fiy-front closing, a per-
fectly straight skirt and deep, sad
dle-stitched pockets on either hin.

sup dL IIle shoulders. You can
get in the better shops a clever
little chignon type such as Lille
Dache interprets via a red, white
and black silk scarf manipulated
as you see above to the left in the
oval. Note the saucy chignon frill
at the back and see the impudent
bow to the fore designed to accent
your widows peak to the utmost.
This type turban also adapts itself
to the new pompadour hairdress.
If you like bright stripes, tell the
world this fall via a stylish peaked
turban together with a gigantic
matching envelope bag of red, white,
yellow and blue striped fabric as
worn by the smartly clad young
woman pictured to the right.
1t adds to the glamour of the new
jersey frocks that the majority of
them are accompanied with tur-
bans or toques made of the identi-
cal jersey. The figure centered in
the picture demonstrates how inter
estingly the alliance of a striped
jersey frock and a matching striped
jersey draped turban work out. Here
a REFER of dusty rose flannel over
navy and white striped jersey
dress, navy shoes with dusty rose
quilted bag and gloves add a def
mite style touch, the cabochon twist
of the matched jersey turban sup
plying the final touch of chic. See
how fiatteringly it reveals the POM
padour, which, as said before, is the
characteristic feature of the newer
turbans.
The vogue for matched fabric hats
is expressed not only in turbans for
this fall but we will see many
brimmed sports hats made of tweeds
to match suits and coats to which
add shopping bag of the same and
behold perfect ensemble for travel
and town wear.

BEAUTY HINTS
FrOwns Are Enemies

FrOwns Are Enemies
There is no greater enemy to a
woman's beauty than frowns. They
place an ugly mask over the most
beautiful features thus turning love-
ly face into an ugly one. When ever
you find yourself frowning, turn right
about and smile-just keep on smiling
until you have erased every cruel un-
kind line and you will have your re-
ward.

SOME STARVATION LIKELY

While Continental Europe as a whole,
does not face famine this Winter, the L.
S. Department of Agriculture reports that
the situation in certain areas is definitely
precariOus because:
ID The lOW-average crops in 1910,
(2) Inability to import bread grains,
feedstuffs, oils and fats, and,
(3) Inequality in the distribution of
food supplies.
Stringent shortages are expected in
Belgium, France and Poland and lack of
bread-grains is being felt in The Neither
lard and the Scandinavian countries. Ger
many, Austria and Czechoslovakia will be
able to continue existing ratiOning for a
large portion of Germany's population.
Italy will get through the winter with a
margin of safety. No substantial cOntri-
button of food and feed supplies is an
tcipated from Russia.
The danger of starvation for some of
the people of Europe, it seems, is due to
poor crops and to wartime measures, the
British blockade which shuts off imports
and the unwillingneSs of the German Reich
to distribute available food supplies among
the nations upon the basis of need. Be-
cause it asserts and exercises military or
economic control over most of the Euro
pean continent, the prime responsibility
rests upon Germany.
The German Reich, seizing territory
to acquire economic assets, cannot ap-
propriate them without accepting respon-
sbility for existing liabilities. If Germany,
for political or economic reasons, insists
upon absolute control of Europe and by
force of arms makes her control complete,
there is no reason to expect the nations
fighting Germany to weaken their defense
by contributing to the solution of the prob
lens that the invader inherits.

BILLIONS FOR PROGRESS

Accustomed as we are to astronomical
figures, here's a fact that should impress
anyone the life insurance industry has re-
serve and assets tOtalling $4,000, 900, 900.
That money is largely invested in in
dustrial securitieS-in government bonds
in home and agricultural loans-in
everything that keeps this country going
and its people working. That money, in
short, is helping to keep America ticking.
And not one cent of it came out of gov
ernment treasury.
That is part of life insurance's vast
contribution to the welfare of the eoun-
try as a whole 1t is an example of what
private enterprise means to us all.
The Key West citizen., 1940-10-16
PAY DAY

Near boom conditions exist in some
sections of Florida as result of defense
spending and some of our citizens and of
ficials may overlook the fact that an i'm
provement in economic conditions result
ing from such causes must, of necessity, be
temporary.
War and preparation for war has al
ways caused ar artificial and temporary
improvement in economic conditions in GER
tain industries and certain sections, but
wars are OF comparatively brief duration,
particularly with high speed killing de-
vices being used in this age, and there is
an inevitable economic slump following
war. The after-war depression is par
ticularly deep in those industries and dis
tricts which have had the most extensive
boom as result of war
What seems to be a boom today is in
fact an exceedingly temporary condition
resulting from borrowing from the future.
Pay day will come soon and suddenly. It's
fine to make the best of present Oppor-
tunities but if Florida is to realize the full
benefit of the present situation, we must
prepare now for that inevitable pay day.
There is nothing more essential, and
there has never-been a better time, to pre-
pare our tax system and our entire fiscal
setup to meet the state, national, ard in
ternational economic shock that is bound
to follow.
