Understanding women, an art
long attempted by the stronger sex,
is problem which is definitely not
in the category with child's play.
And understanding their likes and
dislikes in clothes is just another
complex part Of the problem that
keeps many a fashion co-ordinator
on the jump. However, 1t is solved
about as neatly and completely as
possible by a smart young woman
named Miss Maxine Morris.
Miss Morris, who bears the some-
what lengthy title Of assistant
merchandise manager Of ready-to-
wear, finds that her duties also en-
tail fashion co-ordinating at the
Hecht Co. But she insists that It
is q cooperative Job, requiring the
entire resources Of the buyer, the
salespeople and q number Of other
necessary contributors. For it is
the aim Of such groups to give
women glamour" but to adjust it
to their budgets and their. way Of
life. In other words, they don't
want them to "go home and scare
their husbands" as the eficient
and very busy Miss Morris puts it.
Fashion co-ordinating, she feels,
is not a window-dressing idea, but
a practical technique which tells
women what goes best with what.
Concentrating exclusively on expen-
sive clothes in co-ordinating is an
other idea slightly taboo with Miss
Morris, who gives equal attention
to the lower priced, but Just as i'm
portant, fashions. For every WON.

to them. They marry the boarding
housekeeper daughters. or the girls
who work at the desk next to theirs,
or the girls they spend a week end
with at house party, not because
they are their dream girls, but be-
cause they happen to be the first
girls with whom they ever got ac-
quainted. And then when men get
their bargains home and find out
that they don't like them they
chuck them into the divorce courts.
Nothing can ever take the gamble
entirely out Of marriage, but it
would lessen the risks for men to
have a large acquaintance among
women and thus a chance to con-
trast them with each other. Then
they would find out that while some
women are petty and mean, other
women are broad-minded and gen.
erous; that while there are feminine
fools, there are also intelligent
women; that while there are selfish
women who only love themselves,
there are other women who can love
grandly and self1shly. And they
could take their choice between
them.
! do not decry first love. It Is a
fine thing for man to marry his
first love, provided she is also his
last love, and that after seeing all
the 81 different varieties Of women
she is still the one that he desires.

MISS MAXINE MORklS
PLANTATION, there are many more
who want to look smart answering
the door bell"
Washington women want to look
well bred and moderately sophisti-
Gated, Maxine Morris believes, but
they do not care to adopt the ex-
treme, highly styled clothes found
in New York cafe society or among
the publicized personages of Holly
wood. And so, with the assistance
Of an efficient New York connec-
ton, by attending a retail clinic
twice year and through chatting
with women purchasers, 1t is soon
discovered what most appeals to
women in the line of fashion. A
difficult job, but one that pays divi-
dends In satisfaction and the feel
ing Of "a task well done"
TO the girls who are interested in
working up to this type Of position,
Miss Morris suggests selling. This,
she believes, is the most important
requirement, for it can teach you
more in two months than you could
learn any other way in a greater
space of time. Practical experience
in meeting customers and learning
the routine of store is the primary
need. Modelling, however-and this
will be a blow to many prospective
faShionists-is not considered ter
riflcally important, for the model is
not directly connected with the op-
Grafton Of the store, and hasn't the
opportunity to learn as much of the
background as the girl who sells.
And believe us. there's 80 very much
to learn. II. v.

for the "Rebecca" collection are
worthy of note, especially one din
ner model which consists only of
three large artificial orchids and a
great deal of stiff blue yelling.
Surprisingly enough, it's most ef-
fectlve.
With this same orchid bedecked
bonnet is shown a lovely gown of
blue marganza. Hazarding a guess
we'd say that this fabric is g COM
bination of marquisette and organza
although don't blame us If 'taint
so. At any rate, the dress has a
full blue marganza skirt with q blue
and mauve pink-striped bodice of
satin. The evening bag repeats the
stripes in the bodice.
Other Evening
Gowns Here.
Other breath-taking evening
gowns include the one of blue crepe
with pin linen trim on the bodice
and a pink jacket with blue epau-
lettes. Outstanding note in this
costume is the bag which is In the
form of two envelopes of the con-
trasting colors, one fitting into the
other. Another lovely gown is OF
mauve pink faille silk with match
ing purse. The bolero jacket of this
formal has the smart bracelet
length sleeves which have become
so important for street and evening
wear. Equally outstanding is a
draped jersey dinner gown in the
same shade Of pink.
This collection, noteworthy for its
originality Of design, is one CT the
most interesting collections to be
shown recently. Included in this
group, which will appeal to the So
phisticated and poised woman, are
accessories such as handkerchiefs
and handbags in keeping with the
feeling of the other clothes. An ex-
quislte lace-trimmed gown and
heavy slipper satin robe ensemble
also is part of the wardrobe which
"Rebecca" would have found well
suited to her personality-or so we
like to think
Viewing them should be a real
treat and temptation which you'll
find hard to resist. But then, may
be you're one of those people who
won't have to resist!

Virginia Pays
Tribute to
A Mother
Naming College for
Mary Washington
A Recent Honor
BY GAEL RENFREW.

Among famous mothers an exalted
place Is occupied by Mary Wash
ington, mother Of our first Presi-
dent. Fresh tribute was paid to her
memory when the State Legislature
endowed the largest women's COL
lege in Virginia with her name not
so long ago.
Mary Washington College is situ-
ated in Fredericksburg q city that
has been growing in historic grace
since 1t was named in 1927 for the
then Prince of Wales. Fredericks-
burg is Washington family shrine,
cherlshing the homes of the great
mans mother and sister, while Just
across the Rappahannock lies Ferry
Farm, where George spent his soy
hood and, as tradition would have
1t, cut down the cherry tree.
When Mrs. Washington left Fer
ry Farm in 1924 she moved into a
charming white frame house lin
town" This was the gift of her ia
nous son, and here he was a fire.
quent visitor. He brought many of
his distinguished colleagues 10 see
his mother-a woman of regal bear
ing and independent attitude. From
what we know Of Mary Ball, moth
er OF Washington, it did not disr1ay
her to receive men like Count d'Es-
taing, Baron Won Steuben, Rochap1-
beau, Jefferson, Light Horse Har-
ry"-that picturesque member Of
the renowned Lee clan-and the
Marquis de Lafayette. She is said
to have greeted the latter in her
box-bordered garden when he came
IN company with Gen. WASHINGTON
in 1871, and then, as Virginia's social
code dictated, she served wine and
gingerbread to "her boy George"
and his guest in the front room.
Eight years later this same front
room was the scene of the fare
well meeting between mother and
son when Washington left for New
York to be inaugurated first Pres
ident Of the United States. That
was in April, 1889, and Mary WASH
ington died the following August
at the advanced age of SO.
She lies buried in q place of her
own choosing, a short distance from
her home. Here it had been her
custom to come and read her Bible
beside Meditation Rock. Her monu-
ment, dedicated by President Grover
Cleveland on May 10, 1894, is a
simple 40-foot granite shaft, the
gift of the Nations women.
The house in which Mrs. WASH
ington spent the last IS years of
her long life adjoined Kenmore, the
mansion to which her only daugh-
ter, Betty, came as a bride in 1852
Two Of the Mary Washington Col
lege residences carry on the names
Of these famous women-Mary Ball
Hall and Betty Lewis Hall. Fred
ericksburg Hospital is another in
stitution in which Mary Washing
tons memory is revered.
Mary Washington College occu-
pies 80 acres on storied Marye's
Heights, overlooking Fredericksburg
City. Much Of the ground is still
natural woodland, with trails and
bride paths winding through the
trees. Today 1t Is hard indeed to
believe that the Heights were Bit
terly contested during the War Be-
tween the States, but grim remind
ers of its role as a battlefield have
been surrendered by the campus
lawn. From time to time cannon
balls and other relics Of war are
found embedded in the carpet of
the turf, and the outline Of trenches
ron be traced in the SCARED around.

Dear Miss Dix: I am a young
man, a sophomore in college, and I
am in love with a girl two years my
senior We are planning to be mar
ried when I graduate. My mother
objects because the girl is my first
and only love- She thinks I should
look around before making my de-
cision. The girl is my ideal of what
a wife should be and suits me to a
T. What do you think about mar
rying your first love? Is it a pre-
requisite to a happy and successful
marriage that young man con-
duct shopping tour in the matri-
monial market?
UP-IN-THE-AIR.
Answer-Well, it isn't absolutely
necessary that youth should look
over the rosebud garden Of girls
before he picks out the flower he
wants to wear through life, but it
is a lot safer plan. 1t sort of makes
assurance doubly sure, because after
he has given them all the onceover
he knows he is going to be satisfied
with his choice.
Personally, I am convinced that
(, one of the reasons why marriage is
so often failure is because men
don't take the trouble to search
until they find the kind Of wives
they want. They are poor shoppers
in marriage and takes the first FEM

Reduce Hips
For Spring
Clothes
Famous Old Bicycle
Exercise the Best
To Slim Thighs
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Before you know 1t Easter Is
going to be here-only two months
away, and what q struggle 1t will
be fitting into spring suits! Now
Is the time to begin a daily hip
reducing routine and then the new
season will find you in fine form!
Rubbing and humping exercises
are the most effective for quick
hip reducing. So begin with them:
l. Sit cross-legged and sway the
body from side to side, rolling over
on the upper part of your buttocks.
This reduces other parts of the
body as well. Sway back and forth
in rhythm for minutes.
2. Next sit with back erect, legs
extended and palms placed back
Of you for support. BY using your
abdominal muscles as the motive
power, slide back and forth with
your hips. You will find that you
will travel across the room in little
jerks as you roll back and forth.
Roll for so times.
3. Lie on one side and balance
yourself with your elbows. Place
the fatty part of your hip or but
took which needs reducing on the
floor. Then rub it against the
floor in firm massage by letting
the body move lengthwise rhythmi-
cally. Relax the body as much as
possible and count a "one-two" slow
massage. Turn and massage the
opposite hip or buttock.
The three exercises above all help
to reduce the thighs, but If upper
thighs are very heavy you will have
to do the famous old bicycle exer-
else at least minutes each day in
addition.
Lie on your back, legs extended.
Slowly raise both legs in the air
and pedal them up and down as
If you were riding bicycle. Do
this as rapidly as you can, paus-
ing once in while for breath. In
time try to do the same exercise
by balancing yourself on your
shoulders supported only by placing
your hands on your hips. That gives
you quick results in slimming the
hip measurement!
Now after couple of moments
relaxation, lie on your stomach and
extend your arms and legs. Stretch.
Relax and stretch again reaching
up as much as you can, and push
ing your feet down as far as pos
sible. Relax. Now bend knees and
point toes toward your shoulders.
Reach back and grasp both ankles.
Keep head and chest up and rock
back and forth on your stomach.
Relax and repeat. +
This particular exercise is splen-
did for reducing and for strength
ening your spine. It should be
done last in the routine because
your body should be limbered be-
fore you attempt to rock. It
strengthens your abdominal mus
cles which helps to correct poor
posture and you know, my pets,

definitely unusual costumes which
could be worn here or taken to the
smartest resorts to prove a Variable
sensation.
Street Costume
Striking.
The street costume, which would
be perfect in the spring with a sable
scarf or other luxurious fur piece,
consists of a simple crepe dress in
the lovely new blue grape tone .
Accented by blue and mauve pink
checked jacket and matching purse,
it is further set off by a tiny hat
in the same shades. This hat. a
brimless cap with an almost military
air, is the creation of Robert Dud-
ley, New York milliner who has
made headgear history in the last
two seasons. Mr.. Dudley, you might
like to know, originally studied for
a musical career, with art as a
hobby. However. so the story goes,
he attended party where one
feminine guest was most dissatis-
fed with her hat. Taking pair
Of shears-brave man!-he remod-
eled the bonnet for her. with such
success that she soon spread the
word which made Robert Dudley a
millinery designer.

If these methods don't work, you
may have to ask him, directly and
seriously, to refrain from public

that, the only thing you can do is to
stop dating him until he realizes
that you really do object to pro-
viding cheap entertainment for any
one who happens to be looking.
