Soft Soap Will Loosen
highest Masculine Heart
BY HELEN ROWLAND

THE MAN who qualities as an
expert authority on the subject
of love and women is seldom
the one who wastes his time
writing books about il! He's
too busy practicing TO stop and
the6fize.-
Few mems hearts are so air
tight that they cannot be worked
loose with little soft-soap.
MOST MEN require PERSONAL
ity and a mOdicum of intelli-
gence in a girl. The time has
pissed when they required an
X-ray TO see anything attractive
IN a girl with more than two
working brain cells.
There's something about a be-
ribbOned church aisle that looks
painfully straight and narrow 20
the average bridegroom. That's
because he has always thought
of marriage academically - as
something that may happen 70
his buddies but never To himself.

terest is picking up and who

moment 10 take her foot off the
starter.
Divorce started out as a des-
perate surgical operation for the
relief Of intensive domestic suf-
fering, but now, some women
seem 10 feel they must have
their husbands removed as reg
ularly as they have their eye
brows plucked.
WARNING: Be careful not
10 let yourself be blinded by a
mans headlights. No man is as
dazzling as he seems when he's
making love TO you under a
harvest moOn-especially if he's
wearing a uniform.
When a bushes girl manages
TO get along with the men in the
office without either stopping
over sentimentally or growing
prim and hard-boiled, she has
accomplished the greatest feat of
modern life.
THE GIRL of today seldom
falls head-over-heels in love. Her
slogan is "Head-over-heart-and
keep your equilibrium"

With a profusion of
metallic and bright-colored
sequins all about us we
found something different
in the use of snow-white
sequins on a black dinner
dress.
They form the yoke and ex-
tend down onto the slightly
widened shoulder.
The blouse is form-fitting and
finished with the perkiest
peplum in the back and the
sleeves are snug and long.
Alwsys Smart
This costume is one of those
studies in black and white which
are always the mark of the

YOUR CIRCULATION is the

it is natural for youth TO get
enough exercise. But. right at
the time you need exercise most
it is easiest TO sidestep. After 30
you have to go out Of your way
TO give your circulation a Jog.
The circulation of blood
through the body is what sup

The circulation is the means

Light Garments
All this should make it easily

TO check up on two or three cir

thing, you may be impeding the

Trims Seen
On.FaII Hats
BY ORRY-KELLY
FaHNS Hollywood Styllsi

HE lklMMlNG thdt tails
OF a bonnet this Fall counts for
more than that which is Sc
curcly anchored aloft.
OF course. the upped look in
the new hats is still very popu-
lar because so many girls are
wearing their hair upped and
want hats 10 fit these coifTures.
But even on these there's
great deal Of falling trim in
feathers and flowers.
Like Spaniel
The majority are asking for
hats that actually look droopy.
Milo Anderson says one of the
hats Jane Wyr1an wears in the
Black Widow" has ears that
look like those OF a water SPAN
iel. Two soft flanges OF dark
gray velvet are gathered becom-
ingly 10 a fitted cap of light
gray cashmere and worn with a
cashmere suit.
The hat has that downward
look and completely covers
James blond hair
Tipped or downed yelling al
ways comes 10 the aid Of beauty
when she's trying on a new hat,
particularly when il can be used
10 frame a lovely oblong face
like Kaaren Verne's.
Style Is Born
Her new hat sat behind her
pompadour and showed a snug
tit at the back. But some
thing was missing. So fashion
wise Kaaren attached piece of
fllmy. reddish brown yelling 10
the back, wound it around her
throat like an ascot. tucked the
ends under the revers of her
suit and a new style was born.
Snoods aren't new, but the
ways to wear them are. When
we used them two years ago
they were assigned 10 Stabiliz-
ing Eighty hats that had TO be
anchored.
Dramatic
Ginger Rogers was dining
with her mother the other eve-
ming and wearing a very dra-
matte hat featuring snood.
Hat was in black and of the
sailor type posed over light blue
wool mesh that fell loosely 20
her shoulders.
Wimples and flounces are
other falling trim. "A lady's
choice should depend upon her
couture and the contour of her
face and neck. Now if you look
like Greer Carson you could
wear a wimple drapery in toffee
colored milliner's jersey draped
under your chin and as part of
your turban. Turban with VIM
pie is fashionably first in
right now.

W. EIDE-EYEp, honey-haired Adelaide
NJ Moffett perennial glamour girl, and
w acknowledged queen OF the society
chanteuses, is, in the opinion Of her close
friends and admirers, the modern Pandora
of the Pampered Set.
She has dipped deep into the inviting box,
reaching with all her loneliness fer happiness,
only ia pull eHttFaeedy, financial rcverses and
blasted romance
The plain and distressing truth is the in
trigring idyll Of the Gilded Songbird and her
impulsive Dream Prince apparently has come
to its end Handsome, amiahle and ukeable
William Buckner, boy plunger of Wall Street,
has gone back TO dwell with his parents re-
versing the usual procedure. Occasionally he
visits his bride and the home that was his
chiefly to visit his infant son. Andrew Patrick.
The lovely, youthful Adelaide continues
pouring out her torchy chansons in the lush
supper clubs while Buckner, recently released
from the penitentary where he did a short
stretch because OF some mix-up in connection
with Philippine railway bonds, is gradually re-
establishing himself in the world which &C
claimed him not SO many years ago as young
wizard with the happy faculty Of making in
credible profits
When the merger of beautiful Adelaide
with Mr. Charm OF Cafe Society was an
nounced. the news cascaded over the front
pages NlllllOHS OF TthueTS from COAST 10 coast
had tear in eye and lump in throat as they
read the poignant story OF the talented poor
little rich girl who had married her lovable
scamp in his hour Of tral-and perhaps retri-

tainly not a gay one-this Of a groom
snatched from the tender embrace of devoted
bride and slapped into the bastille
Eptomizing the true-blue gal, blue blooded
Adde carried her torch high bright and hand
some into the elegant nighteres- and voiced
her love plant in songs which flowed from her
heart The rngsiders could detect, as, indeed
] thought did, the defiant message of love
against odds which she crooned unconsciousy
At time when events of international sig
nificance were jolting Americans the affaire
Buckner became as hot as the latest cable
from the European front and Adde'S romance
got almost as much play as date-lined story
from the zone
The queenly Adelaide withstood the on
slaught of reporters and photographers gall
lantly.
