MONG the hardest but most in
terestlng questions sent me are
q n those which ask why one
young woman can seemingly break
every rule of convention and, in the
slang of the day. get away with it,
while another can not put the edges
of her toes beyond the chalked line
of precept without penalty - light
or heavy as the case may be.
In this particular question, of why
one can and the other can't, we are
not considering how to get away
with it" by not being found out! On
the contrary, the question am asked
to answer is why Mary A. is given
complete approval for what is con-
demned in Lizzie X. Why is it, for
example, that Mary in clothes of fan
tastlc extreme, is called ravishing,
divine, and too smart for words,
whereas Lizzie in identical clothes is
looked upon as a figure of fun or vul-
garity? Why is it that Mary can
f1aunt her indifference to convention
ality to the degree of pulling the tail
feathers of Mrs. Grundy's own jack
daw, and not so much as a cav" is
directed against her. whereas Mary B.,
as we'll as all the other Mary's in the
alphabet, would be screeched out of
town?
Before considering the "proprie-
ties" I'd like to say a few things |
have in mind about the 'can" and
cannot" of clothes. AS a matter of
Evening star., 1941-02-09

woman is that. even in the act of
leading fashion, she chooses clothes
which are suitable to her personality
and suitable, moreover. to the back
ground against which she plans to
wear them.
The reason why Mary mentioned
earlier - is divine and Lizzie freak,
is that Mary perfectly appraises her
own points, bad as well as good She
is adept in knowing the exact dress
or hat or hair-do that will bring out
the good points and camoulage the
bad
Or she may purposely on occasion
accent the bad for startling but super
smart effect The point is that in pre-
senting herself she knows exactly
what she is about Lizzie, on the other
hand, seeing Mary, runs and copies
and every detail of her dress is
can't for her.
A more specific question at the mo-
ment is the becomingness, to the
many, of slacks. This reminds me of
the editor of a college newspaper who
asked me as an especial favor, to let
him quote me as saying that girls
''look terrible in pants. If only they
could see themselves walking away
from us instead of walking toward us
they wouldn't wear them ever again"
But the point | want to make is,
rather, that the can'ts often unthink-
ingly imagine they look just like Mrs.
Can" who, let us say, is in her 40's
and on whom slaCks are both becOm-
ing and suitable. Therefore, a iot of
other women, also in their 40s, can
not see why slaCks will look any less
suitable on themselves. What they
don't realize is. that not only is Mrs.
Cans figure long-lined as well as slim,
and that she holds herself straight,
and carries herself beautifully, but
that her slacks are the perfection Of
cut and hang. In other words, the
college-paper editor to the contrary
Notwithstanding, they actually do
look as we'll walking away as coming

A Cose Of "I viii"

AS A matter of fact, there is really
no question about the rule where go
ing without hat in a city in the day
is concerned. There is no can about
it. 1t is a case of 81 will and not of
81 can" 1t does not make bit of
difference who does it, it is bad form
49, exactly as it is bad form for man
to sit at table in his undershirt! Even
if our gilded youths should start this
tomorrow it would remain a cant"
no matter who or how many might
be persuaded to tolerate it. Another
very real cant" that is a will"
on the part of an insensitive few is
the walking about in the streets of
summer or winter resorts in bathing
suits - particularly those of the one
piece cling-tight or midriff-gap vari-
ETY.!
The secret of really well-dressed
Evening star., 1941-02-09

instead of taking back what | said
I'd like to say more:
From my own point of view, lady's
clothes are those which express beauty.
And the first law of beauty is suita-
bility to time, to place, and to use.
Could anything be more unsuitable,
on all three counts, and, therefore,
less pleasing, than young woman
walking on the city street in the
smartest of town clothes, although
she seems obviously to have lost her
hat?

Accepting Presents

AND now on the topic of cans"
and ''cannot's" OF propriety. A typical
''propriety' question in today's mail,
is from a young woman who asks
about the Christmas or birthday pres
ents sent her by man who has been
a lifelong friend. Each year," she
writes, ''his presents have been get
ting more expensive, until they have
now reached point of value which
is out of keeping with the means of
my own family. This man is not in
love with me, and probably never will
be. Ours has been a sister nd-brother
feeling too long to be likely now to
grow into anything else. Knowing
these facts, do you think it is wrong
for me to accept presents that include
expensive jewelry? | should add that
their cost does not represent great inn
portanCe to him - moreover, the
presents he gives me are approximate
duplicates of those he gives his Sis
ters."
In answer to this, it is true, of
course, that accepting jewelry of value
from a man has heretofore been a
definite tabu of propriety. But today
the answer is qualified by circum-
stances. The fact that he gives his
sisters the same presents is highly i'm
portant.
Under ordinary circumstances, the
frankness with which presents are not
only accepted but displayed, is dis
arming. 1t is the standing given
girl by the right sort of friends that
protects her from criticism.
The reason why Mary Manners is
applauded, with almost reckless in
dulgence, is that her friends always
have been the incest, most presenta-
tive girls, as we'll as boys. in school,
in college, and in town, and that these
friends care enough about her to go
out of their way to build her up.
To the first who criticizes: Have
you heard that Dick Rich gave Mary
that wrist watch she wears?" they
answer: "And what of it? If we had
his money we'd give her dozen"
Or an insinuating remark that she
and Harry Handsome spent week
end at Ski Mountain Inn, is answered
with look of contempt and the ques-
ton: "Can you give me any good
reason why they shouldn't happen to
go up there the same weekend?"
To repeat, therefore, it is first of
all the standing of her friends and
second, the opinion which these
friends hold of her that is the answer
to what she can or cannot get away
with"

NAMES THAT WERE NAMES

IDDEN away within the pages of
the 1890 census for the State
4 I of Virginia lies multitude of
quaint and comical names of early
American men and women. They are
of interest not only because of their
historical background but also because
they are in themselves amusing. Wit
ness, for instance. Salathial Goof, Frost
V. Snow. Soloman Sloot.
Elegant and fanciful names were
also common in those days. A lively
imagination coupled with love OF the
original was evidently possessed by
many parents. This resulted in their
children going through life with such
imposing titles as Melchesedeck Sprag-
gins, Ephaphroditus A. Percival,
Onisiphous Harvey. These gentlemen,
according to the Virginia census, were
from Northumberland and Halifax
counties.
What's in a name?" A great deal,
according to history. Names have a
peculiar way of rejecting the traits

and characteristics of their time. Mr..
Godlove Sink, of Shenandoah County.
must indeed have been the son of
most pious parents. And the sturdy
religious zeal of many another of these
long-ago fathers and mothers is at
tested to by the innumerable Jere-
miahs, Obediahs, Micajahs, Calebs
and Zebedees that abound on every
page of the census.
In looking over the schedule, it is
rather startling to come across such
famous and infamous names as John
Garner, Dick Powell and John Dillin-
ger. One wonders if these men had
anything in common with their mod
ern namesakes.
Moses Smelly, Valentine Swisher,
Samuel Buggs, Ambrose Shipwash -
what quartet of comic-strip names!
Yet they were all substantial men OF
property in their day.
