Washington Wears

This business of wandering
around town in search of fashion
news is fast turning into a full
time job. Well-groomed ladies
of Washington give the style re-
porters plenty to talk about, now
that fall is in the air and sum-
mer clothes thankfully relegated
to their place in the cedar closet.
1t must be observed, once again,
that there is less of the bizarre
and more of the wearable in au-
tumn fashions, for women are
spurning the frivolous and ex-
treme clothes that so quickly go
out of style. Keeping up with
the times" is far more popu-
lar notion these days than keep
ing up with the Joneses."
Nevertheless, this doesn't mean
that there aren't plenty of chic
and different" clothes being
worn around Washington. Listen!
Mrs. George Sloane, come to
town for recent wedding, set
off her slim figure beautifully in
a sleekly tailored gown of "hori-
zon blue" crepe, topped with one
of the new high-croWned hats
with faring brim; the hat was
of felt, in a luscious shade of
fuchsia. Slung over Kay's arm
was soft cape of marten
Mrs. Alexander Cochrane Forbes,
daughter of Mrs. Warren Delano
Robbins, has fascinating "alibi'
for a hat. The pretty Sunny"
wears cyclamen-color veil,
studded with fat chenille dots of
the same shade, drawn close
about her face and fastened to
her fair, short curly hair by
cyclamen velvet bows-tiny ones.
Her pet frock is black, severe in
cut, and without ornamentation
other than a vari-colored clip at
the deep v neckline.
Mrs. Oliver Iselin, in town from
her lovely place at Middleburg
for day of seeing old friends,
wore smartly tailored blue wool,
in soft shade. The dress was
simple in design, and the brim-
med matching hat immensely
becoming to Betty's lovely color

can give your library is to ar
range for proper condition
ing in your home. This will add
the necessary moisture when the
heat is turned on in the winter
and dry out the air when exces-
sive humidity settles down in the
summer.
Beyond this there is both 'be-
fore and after" care which the
eagle eye of a good housekeeper
and book lover will recognize as
important.
First of all when placing your
books on the shelves be sure that
they are set toward the front,
flush with the edge of the shelf.
This should leave good three
inches of space in back of the
books where the air may circu-
late. They should be set up
straight, not leaning or without
support as this puts too much
strain on the binding, but they
should not be wedged tightly to-
gether. If they are, bindings will
stick, air will not circulate and
the effort to dislodge them will
undoubtedly tear the top of the
back binding. When books are
removed for dusting and shelf
cleaning be very sure that the
shelves are thoroughly dry before

marks and other blemishes may
often be removed with an art
gum eraser.
Full leather or half leather
bindings may be treated with a
special preparation which will
keep them in excellent condi-
ton. Made Of various oils 1t
feeds the surface. keeping 1t soft
and pliable. Books that have
been neglected for some tims
may need two or three applica-
tions before the leather begins
to glow with renewed life.
Most of the large libraries use
a restorative for paper bindings
which protects them from hard
wear and also keeps the cover
fresh and new looking. Though
this is seldom necessary for
home use it does act as a fresh
ener for bindings which look
dull and grimy because OF neg
lect and mold.
Watch for the mean little
book lice" or silver fish" which
usually appear after a damp sum-
mer. They feed on the starch
in glue and the glucose in the
finish of paper stock. Pyrethrum
powder busted on the backs OF
shelves will help get rid of these
little pests and a spray that
penetrates the cracks back OF
the bookcase will destroy the
eggs before the new crops gets q
start.
Busy as we all are these days,
fine books are going to be good
companions during the stay-at-
home years. They are well worth
all the attention they demand.

Short Frocks for Long Evenings Gain Favor
Tentatively Offered Last Year

Way last year. the fashion
press timidly put forth an idea
and almost Immediately with
drew it. The idea was about
short dinner dress, a glamorous
frock with all the after dark
sparkle of long version, but
without its flowing skirt and de-
collette bodice. You see, the
fashion press had been getting
reports from England in those
pre-Pearl Harbor days, reports
which declared that in wartime
the fornality and fuss of a long
gown had disappeared from Lon
don gatherings.
Said the F. P, why not inter-
est American women in practi-
cal and pretty fashion of this
type? Why not talk about
street-length dinner gowns and
see what happens?" So, they
did-and they found out. Busi-
ness women screamed in horror,
co-eds threatened revolution and
even the stronger sex raised
heavy eyebrows. The fear upper
most in their minds was that
women were destined to return
to the hideous short evening
dresses of the late 20's. They
could just imagine a return of
pastel evening gowns with low
waistlines and short pleated
skirts. They remembered, most
of them, the horrors that were

Skin Changes
Color When
Hair Cruys
Bv Patricia Lindsay

When hair has lost its color
ing pigment you may be assured
that the skin has also faded and
changed in texture so that new
treatment aids and makeup are
In order.
One of the oldest, most con-
servative of American cosmetic
firms has long catered to women
with gray or white hair with
great success. They, through re-
search, understand what the
changed skin requires to keep
young and soft, and which make
up colors are the most fattering.
They suggest this face and
neck treatment: A rich cleansing
cream to keep skin supple and
free of CRIME, night cream for
around the eyes and on throat
where networks of tiny lines
first appear and skin lotion to
tone the muscles after massage
and cleansing. The milder 10
ton for sensitive or dry skin and
q more potent astringent lotion
for skin which shows rapid aging.
The best makeup foundation,
they believe, is face cream
which conceals minor irnperfec-
tions and which decidedly light
ems" the skin tone. 1t also keeps
the face slightly dewy and
fresh looking.
Five aids-to be used daily for
the best results. For those whose
budgets are limited 1t is suggested
that the treatment be given
without the skin lotion (chilled
water as substitute), and the
cleansing cream (soap and water
substituted. The three others
are considered vital to skin
beauty.
For skin which has lost some
fermentation. harsh makeup
colors are taboo. Soft shades,
which blend as natural bushes
into the skin are the more fiat
tering and less obvious. With
them one can greatly enhance
cheek and lip coloring, and the
general skin tone.
There is soft shade which is
highly favored and this comes in
liquid rouge, compact rouge and
lipstick. There is powder, es-
pecially blended to complement
that shade. These used cleverly,
which requires a little patience
and time, do much to create that
well-groomed, youthful appear
ance which every woman yearns
TO radiate.

As all good Hawaiians should, Ray
Kinney takes to steel guitars just as
most OF us used to take to cokes
before that little Utopian pastime
turned to dust. Mr.. Kinney will talk
about his boys, bands in general and
"the islands" and show considerable
interest in the topics. But it's when
the conversation turns to guitars
(even without the moonnght) that
his eyes acquire an affectionate
