Music is still Miss Thompson's

Tall, statuesque, confident, she
seems quite capable of getting
through an average persons

Her whole career mirrors the

FORTRESS accomplishment. No lost

is the secret.
AS secretary to a local attorney
who was active in the utilities
field, Miss Thompson had occa-
sion to work with officials of the
Washington Gas Light Co. When
the opportunity to affiliate with
this organization presented itself
she was ready for it. A year
later, in 1881, Hazel Thompson
became an officer of the COM

one of the exciting features Of

AS president of a public utility he

variety in my leisure, too. Besides
concerts and the opera I enjoy

Or, still another idea is to make
one of the popular cockades,
using buttons instead of orna-
mental pins. To accomplish this,
make a rosette of a series of s.
inch loops of velvet, satin or
grosgrain ribbon fastened around
a small ring. Qnch-wide rib
bon is easiest to handle.) Then
fasten a really striking button to
the center, with the rim of it cov-
ering the sewing stitches. Use a
safety pin on the back to secure
it and you have something out
standing in the way of a dress or

lapel pins, track down huge but

Washington Wears

It's wise woman who knows
her own wardrobe and makes the
most of it. In these days of con-
servation and careful buying,
Washingtonians are making
closer-than-ever study of the
contents of the closet, emerging
with smart ensembles as versatile
as they are good looking Be-
cause these also are days when
costume for a football game may
well take you to dinner in a
smart restaurant, it is more i'm
portant than ever to select clothes
that are wearable and appropri-
ate at any hour of the day or
evening.
Washingtonians who dashed to
Baltimore for the Columbia Navy
game last week found a perfect
example of this all-purpose
grooming in charming Mrs.
Bud" Rogan's costume. Peg
wore a smartly tailored suit of
bright green with a perky wind
resisting wisp of hat in bright
red. Red shoes and a luxurious
lynx jacket completed an outfit
that took her smartly and ap-
propriately to dinner at one Of
Washington's brightest "after-
dark" spots later that evening.
Glimpsed at luncheon the other
afternoon was Mrs. David Moore,
a recent bride who's preparing
to join her lieutenant husband
on the coast. Virginia's black
hat was closely draped to hide
almost all of her hair, an effect
that was ultra chic with her
simple costume.
The. trend to match fur hats,
incidentally, grows stronger
every day, possibly because the
chapeaux themselves are better
looking than ever. Mrs. Walter
Bruce Howe is wearing an ex-
tremely smart looking hip-length
krimmer jacket and a hat
trimmed with the fur. The other
day she chose a soft gray flannel
dress with tnree-quarter-length
sleeves for the final touch of
coordination. With q golden
. brown satin afternoon dress, Mrs.
Truxtun Beale selects matching
pumps in the same fabric and
tops the outfit with a sable cape
and brown hat with q touch of
sable on 1t. In town last week
was Mrs. Henry Kaiser, looking
chic at luncheon In a sable cape.
Spied at a Newspaper Woman's
Club tea later on, she was wear
ing another beautiful cape, this
time in silver fox.

with button trimmed combs to
form the top part Of snoods.
Here's how: Wire four "glittery"
buttons onto a side comb, using
pliable wire and threading it
through the button shank and
between the comb teeth, leaving
half inch of slack between but
ton and comb top. Rethread
through shank and teeth, fasten
wire securely and snip off ends.
Twist buttons several times un-
til the half-inch slack tightens.
Then set buttons at right angles,
so when comb is placed in the
pompadour the buttons stand up
right, sparkle side forward.
To make the snood, gather
three sides OF IL yard OF veil

Button Up for Wartime Smartness
Ransak Your Old

place the button in correct posi-
ton and let dry for several
hours. If the button shank in
terferes, snip 1t off with pliers.
And If you find the button slid
ing during the drying, screw the
earrings onto a thin shelf edge,
button side up. Some women do
say that nail polish will work, if
you run out of household cement,
and If you have no old discarded
earrings, the 10-cent variety will
do nicely for a base.
Smart, too, are button brace
lets, particularly for sportswear.
For instance, you'll find wooden
buttons which look like bowling
balls and tenpins and which you
may sew at inch intervals on
braided knitting wool. Velvet
ribbon may be studded with jew
eled buttons for an afternoon
wrist adornment as we'll.
Fashion experts further sug-
gest that you do startling things
Evening star., 1942-11-22

Those snappy comebacks like
TITS an i'll wind that blows no
good" and Every cloud has a
silver lining" may turn out to be
more true than trite-at least
where fashion is concerned. AS
IN almost every other phase of
living, women are learning the
meaning Of clothes conservation,
Of buying what is actually needed
and Of Transforming the per
sonality" Of costumes already In
their wardrobes.
There are many shortages
you know most of them from
stockings to zippers, from woolens
to metal jewelry-but out of
these restrictions and such will
come some of our best designing,
professionally and also by the
amateur. When it comes to
clothes, we're mighty spoiled, and
from here on we're going to find
out that we can do with less. if
we're just smart enough to make
the most of what we do have.
Today's lesson in the gentle art
OF making things do" concerns
buttons, of all seemingly prosaic
things. If you're smart, you'll go
through that old button box or
have look at the newest models
on the counters of Washington
stores. For there are some amaz-
ing things to be done with but
tons-thrifty and fashion-right
things, too.
For example, you can make a
smart pair of button earrings
with very little trouble. To in
crease your own jewelry ward
robe or whip up a few inexpen-
sive Christmas gifts, gather to-
gether your old, discarded ear
rings, pry out the settings and
put several drops Of household
cement on the earring disk. Then
