But, darling, there's a depres-

hard to get jobs, and people who

1t may leave the back sore for sew
eral days or a week or two. 1t is
undoubtedly due to a torn liga-
ment or a torn muscle. The only
thing that does it any good is rest.
Being up and about and trying to
bluff it out only makes it worse.
Swapping the back with adhesive
tape and the local application of
heat helps to relieve the soreness.
"Does the application of petro-
latum to the skin cause hair to
grow"
No application to the skin that
is known has the capacity either
to increase or to retard the growth
of hair. The idea that the applica-
ton Of some face creams to wom-
ems faces causes hair growth
probably arises from the fact that
many women become more con-
cerned with the creams they use
about the time the skin shows
signs Of aging. A sign of aging is
the increased growth of facial hair.

also made the world of women

At the dawn of the last CEN

among business girls usually
meets opposition from the
heights. The short skirt, which
was elevated only to the shoe
tops a half century ago, was OPP
posed by social arbiters who
found It no convenience to them
and regarded its adoption as an
attempt to destroy the distinc-
ton of class. Similarly. the
shirtwaist that appeared about
the same time was protested.
Yet, ultimately. youth joined

debutantes moved together
They forced through gayest col
ors and EXTREMIST styles in sport
and street and evening wear and
kept them going. As they felt
themselves losing ground, the
elder stateswomen turned TO
strategy and TO the couturiers
who profess to create fashions,
and who are eager allies, in the
emergency.

Uniform Styles

The most popular fashions
possible might be those which
make all women look alike and
which remain longest un-
changed. For the uniform styles
give the less lovely girls and
women, who are in the over
whelming majority, an equal OPP
portunity with the naturally
beautiful min ority-and I'M

the business girls many a dollar
