Cut 1t Short!
Newest COifnres Are Easy to Keep
BY Helen Voef.

Among the assortment of fem
mime fashions which are likely to
be missing 'for the DURATION"
there's one for whose parting
we'll shed nary q tear. That, OF
course. is the long, droopy hair
style, known as the glamour bob,
the cocker-spaniel name or the
debutante's notwithstanding to
your ideas on the subject.
At any rate, and we hope it's
not counting our haircuts before
they're realities, it looks as
though two or three forces will
contribute to the decrease OF the
untidy hair fashion that's been
cluttering up feminine lives for
much too long a spell.
In the beginning, the idea was
not bad, principally because it was
not overdone. But we reached a
point after three or four years
when every woman from 16 to so
thought she could look like Hedy
Lamar or Brenda Frazier Kelly
just by the simple process Of let
ting her locks droop over her
shoulders. At this point, how
ever, what with war work keep
ing them buster than ever, it
seems likely that the ladies are
going to'become shear conscious.
Shorter hair. attractively done, is
much smarter and more trim
looking, besides being infinitely
easier to keep in place. To put it
bluntly, the long bob seldom
looked combed, and it was a
frightful job to keep an over
grown name from reaching the
straggly, "seven-ways-from-Sun-
day" stage.
Don't think for a moment that
we advise the return of the old
time shingle. A comparison of

Dutch Treats
May Be Made
Embarrassing
By E miiy Post

An article I wrote a while ago
on the subject OF restaurant
checks evidently has reminded
many of my readers of their own
experiences. One of the most
interesting of these comes from
the wife of a business executive
who went with her husband to a
convention. She tells me:
While We were in this city, I
invited five of the ladies who had
also come to the convention with
their husbands. to go to a mat
inee, for which I took a box
and. of course, bought the tickets.
After the play I suggested going
somewhere for tea end they all
thought it would be excellent.
Naturally when I made this sug-
gestion meant that they were to
continue being my guests.
In the tearoom left our table
for just moment to say good-by
to an elderly friend who was leav-
ing that evening and whose home
Is far distant from my own. When
returned I found that the watt
ress had presented the check, and
that one Of the ladies had taken
it and was just finishing collect
ing a share from each one of
those present. at once protested,
but I was overruled-principally
by this one who had taken the
initiative-and I was not even
permitted to contribute my share.
Il was very upset, but
thought it embarrassing to go on
insisting, and so let 1t go. But
minded having the party that
wanted to give taken away from
me and being put in the position
Of check-evader. am sure my
other guests would have let me
take the check had this one lady
not interfered.

Since you had taken them to

this one person spoiled the end Of
your party, but it wasn't serious,
and you did well to let 1t go.

the merits of that and the shaggy
sheep-dog effect would be difiicult
to make. However, we do mean
that q skillfully shaped hairstyle,
short enough to give you that
career woman look" is the thing
for our money. A good perma-
nent and haircut will make a
coiffure that can &c Just "combed
through" for q casual yet trim
appearance. That's the l942
formula for hairstyles.
AS the days 60 on, we're hear
ing more and more talk about q
shortage of hairpins a1d metal
curlers-another factor which
should contribute to the return of
the condensed coiffure. Hair cut
short doesn't require those pesky
and precious hairpins, while the
ends of easily managed tresses
will take as nicely to rags or
toothpicks as they do to metal
curriers'. So, come on shortage,
we're ready for you!
Seriously, though it's enough
to make this old fashion editors
eyes light up to see the increas-
ing number Of smartly groomed
women with shorter, neatly ar
ranged hair styles. Even the
young set, which was by far the
most enthusiastic about the
Veronica Lake-ish type, has de-
cided that maybe there's some
thing to all this talk after all,
and numbers of youthful glamour
girls are following this latest
trend. So, every cloud, as they
say, has a silver lining, and if
war activities and metal short
ages will free us from the shoul-
der-bob scourge, We can face the
other sacrifices with q more
hopeful attitude.

Answer-Probably there is no

great for women and none from
which SO many wives suffer as the
lack Of companionship they get
from their husbands. What prac-
tically every girl dreams of is
being a pal Of her husband, of
sharing in his interests and hav-
ing him share in hers, of doing
things and going to places to-
gether. And, in particular, she
pictures long, happy evenings
spent at their own fireside filled
with pleasant and interesting
talk.
And the bride gets the shock
Of her life when she discovers
that her husband apparently got
all he wished of her society dur
ing the days Of courtship, and
that he either regards his home
as a quick-lunch counter from
which he gets away as soon as
ne is fed, or else If he stays at
home he is stricken dumb and
has no more conversation in him
than a store dummy. Nothing
was farther from her thoughts
than spending her life with a
man who only grunted when he
was spoken to and, if she had
even suspected that she was get
ting q human clam as a mate
there would have been no wedding
bells for her.
OF course, 1t may be said in

We Are Civilian Soldiers
By AneeIo Pafri

We are at war; and this time
we mean us, you and me and the
neighbors. We must do every
thing in our power and a bit be-
yond it, to make our victory sure.
To begin with We can help by
taking orders cheerfully and do
ing our best to fulfill them to the
limit People We have met every
day and to whom we gave the
scant attention acquaintance de-
mands as we passed them in the
streets, met them behind the
counters or on the roads, have
badges and armbands and whis-
ties of authority. Overnight these
neighbors and acquaintance have
become people in authority over
us, and we must obey their di-
rections respectfully, wholeheart.
edly, because they are given in
the name of our country.
That Is going to take a little
self-discipline and some practice,
but We will do it. When the boy
behind the newsstand comes out
and tells us to go into the cellar,
We will just 60 and be glad of
the chance. When an excited girl,
wearing an armband, pushes us
into the nearest doorway We will
allow ourselves to be pushed and
keep our remarks to ourselves.
We are at war.
When we are asked to put out
our lights. save gasoline, conserve
food, save paper, we will do it.
And We won't get all heated up
because the person who tells us
to do so came into authority early
this morning. We will agree to
obey directions.
We are at war.

we can see no reason. This is no
time to be wise about things of
which we know nothing. 1t is not
possible for our Government to
inform US on every point relating
to the war. We must take orders
on faith. The leaders carry the
responsibility and we do as we
are told for once in our lives.
It won't hurt us. It will do us
good and help our cause.
We will be asked not to talk
about the war beyond the facts
that are known to the world at
large and be sparing even of that
lest We let slip a word that will
give comfort to a listening enemy.
Above all We are not to discuss
the things we know nothing about
just to appear wise and impor-
tant. And we are never, never
to gossip about anybody con-
cerned In the conduct Of the war.
In days like these stories about
the men and women engaged in
the service float in the air. Let

are concerned. Pass along no

powder and those who have been
carried away by the South Amer

tan makeup with careless aban-
don. The first group doesn't look
fragile, they just look f1oury,
and If their compilations don't

second group looks, if We may
say so, just plain dirty. And. as

complexion. and expensive ones at
that, isn't going to help one whit
Il they are misused.
This TRADE applies particularly
to middle-aged women from
every walk of life. We've never
understood how they think that
q bright red face can make them
appear younger. The freshness
of youth will not be obtained by
pushing patches of rouge prac-
tically into your eyes and blem-
ishes are never hidden by a
heavy coating of rouge, no mat
ter what kind of makeup base
you use. So there!
When a woman ignores the lips
she has hao all her life and sets
about making herself a new pair
that has only a coincidental re-

We've never understood why it
should make a person more at
tractive to have her lipstick
spread out onto her face or to
cheat and put it only on part of
her lips, leaving a silly looking
pink rim between the makeup
and the surrounding skin. Both
practices emphasize affectation
and do little or nothing to en-
nance beauty.
Some people seem to think that
powder will change their COM
plexions completely. Those who

enter their own doors that prac-
tically they are talked out. They
have been arguing, pleading, ca
joling clients or employees all day
until they are 50 exhausted they
feel that they would scream If
they had to say another word.
All they want Is to rest their
own vocal cords and neither to
talk nor to be talked to.
But, on the other hand, talking
is women's greatest diversion and
one of which they never tire.
They never get enough of it. 1t
comforts them to tell their trou-
bles. 1t soothes their nerves just
to chatter. And so they can't
understand why their husbands
don't want to converse all eve
ming after having talked all day.
You are right, of course, in
thinking that you cannot depend
upon your children for COM
panionship because, after all, the
two generations have very little
to say to each other. They have
different interests, different top
les to discuss and different points
of view. Our talk is dated and
only those interest us who are in
our own age class to whom we
can say: Don't you remember?
But I doubt extremely if you
will better your condition by
leaving your husband. For how
can you tell before you marry
him what sort of a companion
any man will make2 All men

One reference book glibly de.
scribes cosmetics as substances
used to cleanse, to allay skin
troubles, to cover imperfections
and to beautify." Sometimes
we're inclined to believe that
definition has no basis in fact,
particularly as far as the fourth
purpose is concerned. We sup
pose the first three are followed
with a modicum Of serious in
tentions but the fourth Is def
nitely overworked by at least so
per cent of the women of this
country while the third purpose,
ito cover imperfections." is used
synonomously with the fourth by
many people.
OF the many cosmetics used by
women today, perhaps rouge is
the most cruelty treated. In a
twinkling. a product that was
designed for the innocent purpose
of adding to or Stimulating the
natural glow of the skin is turned
into an Indian war paint and
scrubbed on with fervor. What is
the good of taking infinite pains
in the selection of your makeup
and spending great sums of
money if you just 60 home and
slap it on as If you were prac-
ticing for barn-painting spree?
We're not saying that spending a
lot of time in choosing your cos
metics is silly: on the contrary.

Dear Miss Dix: I have always

married nearly l9 years ago I
thought my husband wanted a
home and companion, but his
idea of a home is a place to
come to when everything else
shuts up, and all he wants in q
wife is a housekeeper and some
one to look after his laundry and
send his clothes to the presser.
AS soon as he eats his dinner
he steps out. Same way on holi-

so used to his absence that now I
prefer his space to his presence.
