Travelled around the world. They

All these I've mentioned caught
the imagination of millions. OF
many millions. 49,.
In this machine age there is al
most no touch of colorful tinting.
They knew all about Man O. War,
Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth and Bob
by Jones on the other side of the
world. Also Hagen and Tilden.
The most colorful champion we
have in sport today is Whirlaway,
a horse. He wins and he loses-he
may be a trif1e on the goofy side,
but he has caught the attention of
the country. ..0. - ..l...
He can run like the Wind and he
can run any distance. His main
qualities are speed and stamina.
What else can you ask for? Once
he started to move he was 20 lengths
better than anything in the Derby
field. Under the same conditions he
was able to pick up and add rs
lengths on King Cole in the Freak
ness.
Since Man O. War quit as three
year-old, short career, there is
chance that Whirlaway may 60 on
to be the top horse of all time
And few horses have carried as
much human interest color, no mat
ter what their careers. The long,
wide-spreading Whirlaway tail alone
is something to look at and talk
about. r..s.
Some of the Others
AS great a pitcher as Bob Teller
is, the first citizen of Van Meter,
Iowa, has nothing like the color of
a Babe Ruth or Dizzy Dean. This
is too much to ask -.
Don Bulge is star tennis player,
but in the matter of color he isn't
Bill Tilden.
Joe Louis lacks the flare of Jack
Dempsey when the Manassa Mauler
was at his peak. ... .a..l-
There are many more fine golfers
today than there were 20 years ago.
They are playing better golf. But
in looking through the list not even
Lick telescope could discover an
OtlleI bODDy jules Oh duOIIleT w al
ter Hagen on the colorful side.
All this doesn't mean that sport,
along the road of skill and high
class performance, has taken any
flop in the last two decades. Prac-
tically every performance that can
be timed or measured has been bro
ken more than few times in re-
cent years. There has been gen
eral average improvement. But the
crowd appeal on the human side
isn't the same.
What Is Color?
Some deep bass voice may be
heard booming these words at this
spot, "Just what is color?"
1t is difficult word to explain
1t is a combination of high-class
ability, plus certain other qualities
that cause talk-qualities that catch
and hold the attention of the crowds.
The color exuded by Babe Ruth
and Bobby Jones was of different
brands-entirely different-but both
had it in copious quantities. The
same was true of Jack Dempsey and
| Bill Tilden.

OF charming paStel tones dQuS new
interest and beauty, of a type that
will stand hard wear and be espe-
cially cool and comfortable for sum-
mer. So much for comfort, and it's
a big word this year.
Breakfronts with their quadruple
facilities that include desk, book
case, bric-a-brac shelves and storage
space have become something more
than just a period reproduction.
Shown in bleached woods, picked
pine or yew, they have acquired new,
dramatic personalities. On some Of
the very latest presentations grilled
door fronts are woven Of peeled
cane instead of being made of metal.
In every case modern design and
modern materials are handled with
expert knowledge of timeworn Gus
toms to produce a piece OF furniture
that fulflls daily need.
Contemporary furniture. one of
the original proponents of comfort
and functionalism. has at last come
of age with the realization that
graceful lines detract nothing from
their usefulness and add much to
their Inability. Also, 1t has been
discovered, that true value lies in
good design and fine workmanship,
rather than in spectacular creations

that become outmoded within a
short time.
Several noteworthy and distinc-
tive groups have bridged the gap
between modern and traditional de-.
signs in a graceful way. French
provincial patterns have been
brought up to date by the use of
light wood finish on the well-known
forms and by upholstery fabrics
alight with wonderful color in hand
woven or simulated hand-woven
fabrics. Just the idea that you and
would carry out to make antiques
fit into our modern way of life.
Unit and functional groups have
become so much part OF the
longer q novelty. Their versions,
however, have been extended from
the strictly modern groups to in
clude those of Regency and 18th
century inspiration as well, SO that
Washingtonians who wish to build
a feeling of dignity into the limita-
tions of a small apartment will find
these continuous pieces with their
ample drawer and storage space a
clever budget item.
AS for color, upholsteries for the
coming season are destined to be
far deeper, more decisive and more
interesting. Gone the muted
grayed shades, except for definite
period interiors, and to the fore are
thrilling, clear, brave colors that
make a room unforgettable.
Used with these deep tones are
interesting new wood treatments.
The palest blond tones are being
replaced by rich wheat and toast
shades in mahogany and other fine
woods, and the development OF 9TH
er woods, such as birch and hickory,
to live up to their own natural
depth of color is in progress. Oak
also will be interesting in new
and textured handling.
There is a definite trend away
from the "scaled-down" traditional
patterns. You will either choose
traditional furniture in all the fine
proportions of a true reproduction,
or be equally as smart in your Sc
lection of new type of furniture
that fits the space and requirements
1t is to fill.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Women Who Can't Forget Dreams
Are Disappointed in Marriage

One of the reasons why men
taking them by and large-are hap
pier than are women is because
men wake up from their childish
dreams when they grow up, while
women rarely do. Probably there
was never a little boy who did not
dream of following a life of high
adventure. Every little towhead
sees himself as a daredevil cowboy
subduing a bucking bronco, or a
Oman arresting a desperate Grim
inal single-handed, or hardy dis
coverer who finds diamond mine
on the top of a mountain and
comes home with pocketfuls of
riches. But when he becomes adult
he recognizes that nature destined
him for a floor walker instead Of
a ood-thirsty buccaneer, and so
he smiles little ruefully at the
memory of his youthful fancies and
forgets them and goes on quite con-
tentedly saying: This way, ladies,
to the lingerie counter" instead of
Hands up, you black-hearted vii
lain, Two-Gun Dick has the bead
on you.'
The little girl, like the little boy,
has her dreams. She lives in
world of romance in which she is
always young and beautiful and
fascinating to men and in which
a fairy prince is always riding her
way on a milk-white steed to bear
her away to an ivory tower in which
she will live in unimaginable splen-
dor, while he never ceases to tell
Evening star., 1941-05-14

her how marvellous she is and how
much he loves her. In time, of
course, the girl grows up, but no
matter how old and fat or haggard
she gets, nor how many college
degrees she takes, she never rouses
out of her trance. She never wakes
up and rubs her eyes and says:
Goodness me, that was a pretty
dream, but I am awake now and
I had better get up and get busy
squeezing the orange juice for
breakfast, and scrubbing up the
children for school, and getting
John off to work, and being thank
full that I've got good, comfortable
house with modern conveniences
to live in instead of a dream palace
and a streamlined automobile in
stead of having to jog around on
a horse"
No, half the women in the world
cling with both hands to their
girlish dreams, no matter how i'm
possible they are of realization. They
won't wake up and face realities
and make the best of what they
have in life. They break their
hearts pining for the things they
saw in a vision.
There is nothing the matter with
nine-tenths of the marriages that
end in divorce, except that foolish
women won't fold away their ro-
mantle dreams with their wedding
gowns and forget what they ex-
pected marriage to be and accept
it as 1t is.

evening wear and all accessories.
Don't forget those wonderful cottons
which have made the fashion world
sit up and take notice-and be sure
to investigate the perky little cotton
suits. particularly if you're in the
9-to-5 group and want to look trim
at the end of trying business day.
Remember that lighter clothes
call for correspondingly paler make
UP, so get busy on the lipstick and
nail enamel deal Deep shades look
pretty silly with pastels, and there
are enough summer tones In cos
metics, goodness knows. Do some
thing about your hair, too. That
cocker-spaniel bob was fine to keep
the wintry blasts off the back OF
your neck. but it's going to be like
wearing a parka when the tempera-
ture hovers around 98. Above all,
don't forget those pesky details
which are so important-like the
faithful use of a deodorant, i'm
portant all year round, but even
more vital in summer, and the use
of depilatory or razor. Sheer sum-
mer hose have funny way of re-
vealing fuzzy legs-and they look
none too attractive, to put 1t mildly.
We hate to be fuSSy about 1t, but
if you're not going to keep white
and light clothes spick-and-span,
we'd be just as happy if you'd wear
dark linens or something. Nothing
Is worse than a soiled white dress
and that goes for hats, bags and
shoes, too. Washability is wonder
full word-and it's better when you
put it in action. Gloves you must
have-a silly habit in summer, but
there it is. Fabric or washable doe
skins are fine and very little trouble.
The new plastic or mesh handbags
wash nicely, if you don't let the lip
stick get ground in, so to speak,
and we have yet to see the woman
who can't handle a bottle of white
shoe cleaner neatly, and, we might
add, to advantage.
Be sure to dress the part this sum-
mer. In other words, don't dash
down to the Office looking as though
you're on your way to fishing ex-
pedition and/or clambake. On the
other hand, if you're out pour lie
sport" either active or spectator,
your popularity poll will suffer
through the choice of the wrong
clothes. Don't be the girl who's al
ways forgetting her sun-glasses and
Switching some innocent bystand-
er's, or the type who starts out for
ride in a converted convertible
with large, foppy sailor instead Of
a tight-fitting hat or kerchief.
You may not look as well in the
kerchief, but you can devote your
self to enjoying the scenery instead
of holding onto your hat If you'll
wear 1t.
And then there's that age-old cry
about watching your color schemes,
seemingly simple but obviously
perplexing problem. Just don't try
to get away with three shades of
green, simply because they're all
green. That is the sort of thing
that makes fashion writer's turn
gray. We didn't mean to be bitter
about it. Hope you don't mind our
mentioning it, cause there1l be
more later.
