womans birthday anniversaries are
a private matter between herself
and the vital statistics bureau, and
If she chooses to remain permanent
80 for 20 years at stretch she has
a right to do so. 1t is nobodys busi-
ness.
But 1t becomes a fatal mistake
when she lies to herself about her
age and tries to be 80 instead of the
49 or SO or GO she really Is. For
nothing is less charming than the
mature or elderly woman who tries
to act girne-girlie. who shippers and
smirks and squeals with enthusiasm
like debutante, and talks ABOUT
her boy friends. The soundest ad-
vice ever given women Is: Be your
age.
Then a woman should not lie to
herself when she goes to buy her
clothes. 1t takes lot OF courage TO
face the heart breaking and devas-
tating truth that ones figure isn't
what it used to be 20 years ago, that
ones peaches and cream complexion
has gone sallow, that ones golden
hair is streaked with gray, and that
all the snappy little numbers in the
dress shops we're designed for cuties
who weigh about half as much as
one does and are third of ones
age.
1t is an awful wrench to woman
when she discovers she has to pass
up plaids and has to consider lines,
but she saves herself lot of ridicule
If she accepts the truth. For the
only person who is fooled by the
woman who dyes her hair and mas
caras her eyes and dresses like her
granddaughter, Is herself. You
can't make old sheep look like spring

But, most of all, women should
never lie to themselves about love,

men are in love with them who
never give them a passing thought.

fully feminine and fattering the new
soft shoulders can be. The bodice
Of this simple yet exquisitely grace
frl dress is all soft, gathered drap-
cry, and the kmono sleeves fall
briefly from soft shoulders with pic
torial charm. The restrained full

a perfect style for wonderland that
deep throat line is not only smart

a girl who is also from the country,

Nevertheless, I would not expect
this girl date to help pay the ex-

she has a good time. I think her

with her, are worth more than the

today holds a dominating position in

The actual magnitude of that position

by the fact that the amount of British

to West Coast firms has now reached
the staggering total Of 3,1O7 ,675 600
One fourth of that awesome sum is to
supply Britain's need for airplanes and
