thought in 1894 that he had retired
from the active direction Of things

Gov. Price to organize the v. P. F.
and within five months thereafter
Gen. Goodwin reported the job
virtually done.
The Emporia insurance man, now

spite the heavy competition Of the
Army, the Navy and war industries

Gen. Goodwin, of the First World

V. P. I. men.
Many Are Youngsters.
Many are mere youpgsters-the

their pride in the hometown" gen.

the best in the State.
When the World War came along,
Gen. Goodwin, then colonel, went
overseas with the same rank. After
the war he commanded the 318th

to hold the rank Of colonel of in

Fashions do seem to reflect the
times in which we live. I've just
been looking at the fall assort-
ment of shoes presented this year
by one of Americas largest and
most widely known houses.
The shoes that met my eyes
proved that at least one shoe man
ufacturer is giving thought to the
needs as well as the moods of its
feminine clientele. There are
many more shoes than ever be-
fore, with low heels-the better
to walk with, my dear! Gone
are the days when the appear
ance of low-heel shoes was ex-
tremely depressing and warned
that no frivolity was in sight.
These shoes are good looking as
we'll as comfortable.
There is still lots of variety in
color. AS long as these are not
on priorities they do give our
morale a lift. The midway heel,
which is graceful and practical
for walking and a little more
dressed up than the low heel, is
much in evidence.
However, the real news of the
Evening star., 1942-09-27

Charm is essential to the hap
piness of every woman" claims
lovely, young Helena Kuo, a Cam
tonese author and lecturer.
Charm is the outward and
visible sign of a beauty which
springs from the higher con-
sciousness and conceals physical
defects" Miss Kuo believes, land
any woman can acquire 1t very
simply"
Helena Kuo's Chinese name In
full is Kuo Gin-chiu, which means
mirror OF autumn, when trans
lated. She has a gracious charm
of an old China, and immedi-
ately captivates her audiences.
For one whole week practice
being friendly toward everyone"
this petite beauty suggests, "and
show your friendliness by smiling
or doing a kindness. Do not
make any exceptions or the value
of the experiment will be lost.
Avoid gushing, for gushing is syn
thetic charm" she cautions. do
quietly whatever is necessary and
smile, use pleasant words and in
sist on pleasant thoughts.

pretty, and also study those
whom you consider rather ordi-
nary. Write down your observa-
tions of their characteristics.
Take from these those you like
best and thus create for yourself
a composite character which is
bound to be charming"
Miss Kuo claims you have a
right to adopt these qualities.
You are not robbing anyone, and
when you make good use of these
attractive characteristics and
they become a natural part of
you, others will instinctively copy
you! So you spread charm!
The Cantonese are taught that
your chances Of happiness are
greatest if you are the better
person, very decent in every
thing. Women. appreciate face
value, so most women are suf1-
ciently interested in keeping
beautiful so others might think
well of them. But Helena Kuo
tells us that beauty preparations
and beauty parlors are no reme-
dies for q disagreeable, frowning
nature. Studied cheerfulness
bears rich reward and once a
woman has mastered the art Of
being outwardly cheerful and
pleasing she has acquired, un-
consciously, . sincere charm.

we have mentioned, all the new

In addition, the color contrasts

These dire predictions of how
chilly many of us are going to
be this winter recall the days in
Europe just after the end of
World War I, when in the larger
capitals social life was once more
trying to raise its forgotten head.
AS embassies and legations be-
came revived, and members OF
the new stats arrived from far
and near, small friendly gather
ings increased, grew into larger
dinners and luncheons, and final
ly emerged in full panoply, as
receptions and glittering balls.
The ladies went to Paris for
their clothes, and returned with
the choicest models from the
smartest collections. The gentle
men wore uniforms or formal
clothes for day or evening affairs.
Superb ball gowns with the most
daring decolletages, and even
dinner gowns cut low, and sleeve
less, were worn by the feminine
contingent to dances and din
ners. And nobody, except the
ladies and their maids, ever saw
their splendor!
Because none of the houses
were heated.
And the lovely ladies in their
Paris confections sat at banquet
tables, and waltzed sedately at
embassy balls in their warmest
and largest fur coats!
All that bitter winter, when
coal was unheard of in the war
worn countries, and even char
coal briquets for the parlor
stoves were almost unobtainable,
heavy fur sleeves brushed the
bridge tables, lowered above fin
ger bowls, dropped gracefully
over a dance partners shoul-
der. In some of the largest,
and therefore coolest, man.
sions, few unconventional souls
actually wore fur-lined galoshes
and boots to dinner and bridge.
The most popular hosts were
those who had open fireplaces
installed, or who lived in the
country, and had stoves that
burned the wood cut from the
trees on their estates. One gay
young matron always gave her
informal parties in her kitchen,
with the gas range going full
tilt, and the oven door left open!

Jewelry for the fighting man

you may select cuf links or q

gold belt buckle, waterproof
watch or a simple ring. For q
man in any rank and branch OF

this type, how about sending q

knife nd nail file gadget, which
can be placed on the end of his
watch or key chain? Other gifts
in a religious vein include pocket
size statues of the different
saints. These are made OF alu-
minum, very light in weight, and
contained in a tiny round metal
case. For a very small cost you
can get a simulated leather case
which contains a st. Christopher
medal, a scapular and a rosary
of wooden beads. A small Bible,
prayer book or Missal also would
be appreciated by the majority
of our men.
We understand that the "cry"
of the boys overseas is for Gig
arettes and candy, so send your
boy a supply of cigarettes and
also a pipe and tobacco. These
can be purchased in any number
of styles, sizes and brands, either
separately or combined. If you
send candy, make certain that
it is the hard kind, for although
they may prefer "gooey" choco-
lates, these are likely to be
melted and mashed by the time
they reach their destination.
Be sure to inclose q Christ
mas card with your package.
There are so many different
kinds this year that to select
just the right one should be an
easy matter. In addition, bright
wrappings add to the charm Of

wrapping is addressed plainly.

substantially, though you must
be sure to fix them so they may
be opened easily for the CEN
