Correct habits of posture while
walking, standing, or sitting are
Of particular Importance today!
They always were essential to
best health and to beauty and,
charm. Now they are q must"
in our war effort.
You see, incorrect posture tires
you, while correct carriage will
allow you to be on your feet
longer and work more. Kinks
in the spine, a protruding tummy,
slumped down or crowded organs,
body thrown out of balance put
strain on certain sets of muscles!
I do not know what the final
word about girdles will be by the
time this war Is over. but / think
We win always have some sort
Of girdle, and that we should

will begin Wednesday evening at

While the program is particu-
larly timely in the present emer-

in peace time America. During
the worst year of the Battle of
Britain, German raiders were
coming over every night and
nearly every day, $4,000 civilians
were killed by bombings. Yet,
although the United States was
at peace, the same year saw that

Many physicians feel that every
woman needs a girdle as her con-

with this, but I do believe that
the average woman needs some
kind Of girdle part Of the time.
Be patriotic and watch your

expend more energy in your war

This exercise win help you build

Will Women
Be Boss?
Bv Adelaide Kerr,

-
Some topflight New York busi-
nessmen think that war will make
women the executives Of the
future. They even say 50 in
public.
The other day an industrial ex.
ecutive in lower New York was
talking of women's war work in
industry.
"It won't be long before fellows
like me are going upstairs to see
Mrs. Managing Director" he said.
"A lot of men are going to be
killed in this war. There won't
be boys old enough to take their
places. While they are growing
up women will have to I'LL In.
And they will. I don't think
women will get to be the big
shots-the presidents OF the
firms. But they are going to I'LL
a lot of executive positions.
Lets say company has to
take on women welders to replace
the men it loses in wartime.
Gradually it is forced to take on
more and more women until there
are, say so women to 10 men. Out
of that so there will be more good
foreman material than there will
be among the 10 men. So five
of the women become forewomen.
"They will still take orders from
a man head boss, but he is going to
be Influenced by their thinking.
Suppose he calls a meeting and
says women welders have got to
wear leather gloves. The women
say no, they work faster IN
Madame Whosis' lighter weight
rayon model. So they wear rayon
asbestos impregnated. In hun
dreds of ways like that they will
have an influence on industry"
Why did he think that women
won't get to be the big shots?
"a president holds his job for
purposes of unity and leader
ship" he said. "And women
don't like to work under women.
Take four executive women and
put another woman over them
and you will have pandemonium.
But put q man over them and
everything will run smooth as
silk. A man will ask another
man to take over his desk while
he goes fishing, but a woman
would rather die than do that.
Before she goes off on vacation
a woman will stay till the last
thing is done if it takes till 5 in
the morning. Then she will lock
up the powder puff so no one
else can use it and be off. Wom-
EN- give wonderful attention to
detail. Many of them could be
minor executives to tell the chief
what's next on the agenda. But
the inability of women to work
under women will limit them and
keep them from top places unless
they change"
The president of q New York
advertising firm agrees that
women will be the executives Of
the future.
MY girl runs this business
now," he said. II just assist her.
Women are more practical than
men and they face a situation at
a given time more realistically.
That should make them good ex-
ecutives. Women's intuition is
often better than mems, too
they move with far more caution
and secrecy. The idea that
women can't keep a secret is rot"

Washington
Wears

these days are likely to be as
official" as they are glittering,
Tor seldom does a group congre-
gate except for a purpose. Now,
OF course, that purpose may be
anything from farewell party
for departing Army or Navy
man to a serious business lunch
con for charitable purposes.
Nonetheless, the smart attire Of
local ladies adds charm and dash
to all such occasions, making
them typical of the Washington
scene today.
At the Community War Fund
luncheon the other day, there
were many well groomed women
among the more than 500 pres
ent. Glimpsed at the head table,
for example, was pretty Mrs. Paul
v. McNutt, in black and wearing
a fetching black bonnet orna-
mented with two beautiful blue
ostrich plumes. Near her
sat Nine. Wei Tao-Wing, wife
of the Acting Ambassador Of
China. Her exquisite jade jew
elry was the envy of all women
present and included large round
earrings and a daintily carved
jade stone in setting of dia-
monds, forming one of the most
gorgeous pins ever seen.
AL in black was Nine. Dia-
mantopoulos, wife of the Min
lister of Greece, looking very chic
and poised. Mrs. Walter
Bruce Howe, who did a beautiful
job of presiding at the luncheon,
was still another in town black,
highlighted with a brilliant green
hat of feathers.
Down from New York was
charming Peg" Rogan. Always
complimented on her gay and
f1attering hats, she earned more
praise with the newest-a whim-
sical concoction of rosy velvet
and yelling, worn straight on the
head and utterly irresistible. >.
Mrs. Kenneth jenkins also has a
fetching bonnet of black which
she wears with a smart dark out
fit to take her through busy af-
ternoons and evenings. One
of those beautiful violet tones is
used in Grace Pulver's snappy
wool suit, the shade soft and
completely f1attering. Also
well suited" was Mrs. Dale Vim
cent, seen the other evening at
"This Is the Army" Her blue and
gray plaid was striped with faint
maroon and she used all navy
accessories to complete the en-
semble. One of the trickiest
"ensembling" ideas is that
adopted by Mary Lord Andrews.
She goes in for heavy knitted
snoods and has one in a color to
match each frock-very effective
and wonderful hint to the bud
get-conscious girls who seek that
Vogue" touch.
incidentally, observers at the
recent Junior Naval Officers Ball
commented upon how very lovely
the debs and post-debs looked in
their frothy evening gowns. Most
of the girls were wearing their
debut frocks or other cherished
items from an established ward
robe-and there was nary
brand-new number to be seen.
AL Of which bears out our ear
lier remarks about women look
ing smart and feminine this
year, without putting War bond
money into little-worn evening
clothes. The local Jewellers de-
clare that strictly formal attire
is an extravaganza in wartime
and they're just mot having
