clouds. Gusty Gair. after a few
hours of remorse. had become a
shadowy figure outside the shim-
mering fringe Of her dream world.
At times he tried 10 push through
and tantalize her conscience. but
Francie fought off these intru-
sions.
Jerry Finney brought her back
to the hotel late Saturday after
noon. As she walked to her room,
Francie caught herself thinking
that Jerry hadn't even wished her
good luck. He had been too busy
talking about his own part in the
broadcast.
Aunt Hat bounced up to meet
Francie. Il don't know what's got
into your father. An hour ago he
received a telephone call. He went

Asking Someone's Age
Dear Mrs. Post: Two or three
people l know. make themselves
very unpleasant by their insatia-
BILE curiosity about ages. They leave
no stone unturned in finding out
the age of everyone they come in
contact with. Isn't this rude enough
to write something against it in
your column?
Answer: At the suggestion of
others, / have written about this
often, and always that it is just as
\ ill-mannered to ask another's age
as to pry into any other details of
peoples private lives. But human
nature being what it is. there will
probably always be plenty of busy
bodies curious about things that
seem very undressing to most of
us. The only answers l know TO
those who ask us how old we are.

Anne" or past twenty" or mot a
hundred yeti" You might be tempt
ed to ask How old do you hope ?"

the garment up and down several
times. If 1t is never allowed to

Shop for Your Bathing Suit
AS You Would for a Dress

It's smart to buy bathing suit
for the same reasons you buy a
dress-because it dramatizes the
best features of your figure and
conceals less attractive ones. In
other words, because it is honestly
flattering.
Gone are the days when nearly
everyone dashed to the nearest
bathing suit counter and said, u
want white-size So"
BARE MIDRIFF SUITS
FOR THE SLENDER
Now the chic woman. setting an
excellent example for all and sun
dry, tries on several suits. She
chooses a color which does some
thing for her complexion in a style
that is right for her particular
figure. She makes the selection as
carefully as she does when buying
shoes or a coat, or even hat.
Here are some of the things she
keeps in mind while swim suit
shopping:
Two-piece, ra-and-shorts suits
which expose a bare midriff are
for the leanwaisted only. Only
the very slender should even con-
slider bare-waisted effects.
Dressmaker types with full
flared or pleated skirts are ex'
cellent for larger figures. They
conceal Jumps on the thighs, make
hips seem simmer than they
actually are.
For the girl who likes to go ir

who can have only one swim suit
a rubber one is a practical invest.
