Must you be beautiful to have
romance?
Or, let's ask the question this
way: do beautiful women have more
romance than their less attractive
sisters?
Answer that question yourself.
And then read my answer. think
you will find it interesting.
l asked many men which they
preferred, a beautiful woman or one
lust about average in appearance.
And almost without exception, their
reply was that extreme beauty was
not as important as many of us
women believe it to be. Rather,
they want their women folks to be
attractive. They told me that any
average woman could gain an at
tractive appearance simply by TAX
ing care of herself, her hair, her
complexion, and her clothes!
Extreme beauty, it seems, means
extreme vanity. And no male wants
a vain woman, because she thinks
too much about herself, and not
enough about him! But, if she is
attractive through combination of
interesting personality plus ade-
auate care of self and appearance,
she most likely will be an enjoy
able companion, thoughtful of
others and a bit more anxious to
please.
So, while men appreciate beauty
they prefer personality!
But let's digress a minute, and
further explore this strange word.

Crisp Ldce-Trimmed BIOuSes
Worn With Cotton Dresses

From all indications the cotton
evening skirt worn with lingerie
blouse is going to be leading sum-
mer fashion. The one liked best is
The full peasant type, made of a
bizarre flower print topped with a
wispy lace-trimmed snowy white
blouse. Very attractive skirts are
being made of gay plaid ginghams,
also of colorful sheer, crinkled cot
tons. Skirts of cotton lace, with
dark jersey fitted bodices, or long
torso middies of jersey seem to
please the young smart set. The
teen age also has a yen for skirts
made of flowered glazed chintz.

Hemlines Finished
In Novel Designs
Ruching and ScalIops Are
Decoration Motifs.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Hemlines are to be "eye-catchers"
watch for them Let's talk about
the artful way designers are finish
ing hemlines. One of the new treat
ments is to outline the skirt hem
with tiny ruching made of the ma
terial Of the gown
Another way to finish a hemline
is with scallops. Many of the smart
est new redingotes are scalloped
along the front edges. It's a new
fashion, too, to line faring hemlines
with a contrasting color.
The latest wrinkle" is to soften
the edges of the new wide brims of
hats.
This is done in various ways.
Many of the huge straws have their
brims bourd with wide ribbon to
tWo-and-a-half inch depth.
Very new are the wide fabric
brims that ripple at the edge. 9th
ers, especially those of net, are
shirred with a softening effect.
Brims with these undulating edges
are the type that are worn far back
on the head to reveal a pompadour.
Speaking of new fashions, the new
TERED skirts are introducing an en-
tirely different Silhouette. This
fashion is being developed in a tai
lored way for cloth suits with
the tiers stitched fiat, cne above an
other.
However, it is the TERED skirt of
lightweight fabric that is the center
of attraction at the present moment.
A startling innovation, it is being re-
ceived with enthusiasm. Flounces
of all sorts are chic.

Paris Fashions Turn
Masculine in Stvle

New suits in today's Paris fash
ion parade are finished with mascu-
line precision, but a saving fem
mime touch is introduced by organdy
blouses with frilled fronts and field
flower bouquets for mannish lapels.
Closely fitted redingotes in pat
termed woods and silks, fne-striped
wools and pencil-striped dark fab
RIGS are am0ng the collections. One
house features tailored silk suits in
checked surah and double-breasted
models with horizontal stripes.
Loose backs in plain and printed
crepes have full skirts shirred to hip
yokes. Some are trimmed with
linen, while others have linen bo-
leros, with paillettes.
White pique trims frocks and
coats, and sailor hats.
For young girls there are checked
silk dresses to be worn with linen
redingotes and bolero suits of
checked woods embroidered with
white soutache.
Silhouettes reflect the masculine
line above the hips. Shoulders are
natural and waists slim, and slim
hips are emphasized.

and white and tricot cord, both ma
chine knitted of lightweight wool,
make a wonderful casual suit for
the country, as shown centered in
the group. The softly tailored one
button jacket with deep revers has
narrow yellow zephyr knit piping
as it's only trimming. This is
woolknit that won't sag or stretch,
the perfect costume for casual coun-
try wear.
There is fine opportunity in the
knitted realm to mix and match
skirts and jackets. While most of
the newer knit skirts have the pleat-
ed look there are also skirts with
stylish gored flares. In jacket styles
one finds endless variety. Wrist
length tailored jackets, often with
small notched collars, novelty gold
buttons and four patch pockets, are
leaders.
One very stylish jacket is the
Observation-Disclosures type, with
slight easy blousing above a belted
waistline. Stripes are often favored
in jackets worn with plain skirts.
In dresses popular choice is wool
chenille that looks as if it is hand
knitted. Also a favorite is a collar
less line plaid wool knit model with
round neck, and buttons down to the
waist.
Jacket sweaters are very impor-
tant. They are interesting because
of their novelty and variety. The
cable stitch cardigan, which comes
well down over the hips is favorite
type.
Novel trims in endless variety add
zest to the jacket mode. One of the
interesting decorative touches is
narrow fringe made of the yarn of
which the jacket is knitted. Enthu-
siasm for things knitted is reflected
in a revived vogue for swim suits
that are fashioned most intriguingly,
a favorite model being striped and
styled along princess lines. Red and
white is the most popular color COM
bination.

Small, Colorful Hats
Dominate Fashion Picture

If in doubt as to the hat that will
fatter you most, take a look at the
small white hats that are fashion fa-
vorites this season. For the most
part, hats are rather diminutive,
with perky little ribbon bows, white
wings or effective flower trims. Add
a fluttery chenille-dotted confetti
veil for perfect finesse.
A pretty fashion is the tiny white
straw sailor trimmed with colorful
flowers, and believe it or not, Kelly
green veil. This hat tops a black
sheer frock.
Yellow is highspot color in the
millinery realm. You will find all
yellow hats and gray and neutral
colored felts trimmed with bright
yellow quill.

HOmely Hints

You can root rose cuttings by stick
ing them in raw potato.
Cover soil around potted plants with
coffee grounds to prevent little plant
flies.
You can set the pot of your Christ
mas Cactus in the ground in a partly
shaded spot in your yard and it will
blossom for you during the summer.
A northeast window is best for your
Twenve Apostle plant during the sum-
mer.
Egg whites for white cake should be
beaten stiff but not dry. Stop beating
as soon as egg holds its shape Fold
into batter as stirring breaks down air
cells.
Three tablespoons of cocoa are equal
to one square of chocolate.
Be sure to adjust liquid and -four to
make batter right consistency when
cocoa is substituted.
IF a faky pie crust is desired, cut
shortening into -four with two knives
or a pastry cutter; if a tender mealy
crust is preferred, work the shortening
into the -four till the mixture looks like
coarse corn meal.
To keep meringue from shrinking
use two tablespoons of sugar to each
white.

Here is a skirt that is very new
this season. The smartest suits and
dresses are being made with TERED
skirts. The model pictured happens
to be a tailored type but you will
also see soft pleated versions. The
talking feature about the new TERED
skirts is that they are so designed
to preserve the slender silhouette.
This is achieved by using fiat
stitched smooth surfaced black
faille silk for the tailored suit. The
skirt pictured is worn with a loose
ly fitted blouse, showing a frilled or

MAGIC TOUCHES

NIiNIV IVJ NIIIlJ
After the day is done and one feels
and looks all spent, then it is time to
use magic touches over the face. This
is how it is done. Cream the face with
a good rich tissue cream and then
gently massage the face upward about
the mouth erasing the tired lines. Next,
hold the skin about the eyes taut with
the fingers of one hand and then
smoothe the skin about the eyes very
gently, thus wiping away the tired
little lines that so quickly gather there
adding years to the face. After the

OLD ARMY GAME
In a democracy. the army be-
longs to the people. 1t must be
popular. So the army has play
ed the public relations game,
played il hard and in most in
stances, played IT well.
Every effort has been made to
avoid censorship, but as Cen
eral Richardson explained. when
Congressman George Mahon of
Colorado City. Tex. asked him
what he did about adverse. un-
fair and improper publicity. II
have written TO the editor myself
and have then given him the cor
rect data and, in every case.
l have had very nice letter
back from him
The Nays job has been little
different. Not having the same
degree of expansion To 20
through. not having TO use selec-
tive service men, not being
handy for the close inspection
of the folks from home. and hsy-
ing TO deal with more secrets,
the navy public relations job has
been one of keeping on the
course. and making sure nobody
rocked the boat. To that eN-
tent there Is a shade more of the
censorship element in the nayy's
job than there Is In the army's.
But what the navy's press job
costs is as buried as in the
army's. In the naval appropria-
ton bills there is no clear-cut
budget for the public relations
