1aces are practical and good looking
and these even omit the metal clasp
Every effort is being made by the
manufacturers to facilitate war re-
quirements and so far style has
suffered not at all. In fact, when
you 60 into the stores to buy your
summer jewelry you'll notice almost
no difference in the displays.
Key to the-city department:
Washington women share the fash
ion writer's enthusiasm for Designer
Charles Armour, who's in town
through Wednesday. :. Whenever
he comes into local store with
new collection of clothes, the re-
sponse to his appearance is tre-
mendous, for this is the man who
popularized dark sheers for summer,
long-sleeved evening dresses and
short frocks in metals and brocades
for noon and cocktail hours. We
shall remember him, too, as the de-
signer who launched the "dress suit"
the soft suit that looks like a dress
and can be worn alone or under
topcoat at any hour of the day.
This trip Mr.. Armour brings us
town cottons," colorful, easy-to-
wear clothes that are as much at
home at a luncheon as they are in
the atmosphere of a warwork
agency. These are the gay
clothes that we shall wear through
out the scorching months ahead.
They're smart because they're we'll
designed, sensible because they're
washable and cool, American be-
cause the fabric and the idea behind
them is so typical of our way of life.
Mr.. Armour never has believed
In eccentric" clothes and his new
summer collection reflects his feel
ing. He does believe in different"
things, however, such as the black
cotton poplin dinner suits which are
included in this group. They're
handled as silk faille previously
would have been.
While we're dabbling around with
new ideas in the fashion world, it
seems the perfect time to mention
Designer Walter Florell's latest Gre
alton, THE Newspaper Hat" AS
you might suspect, this is chapeau
made from yesterdays late editions,
processed to be rain and sun proof.
The silhouette of these new hats is
simple and their only trimmings are
grosgrain ribbons and wells :.
Mr.. Florell says that the idea was
born out of the necessity to create
new materials and prove that inge-
nuity will always find new ways.
This proves it for our money, but
please, Mr.. Florell, with the head
lines what they are, couldn't you
make our hats out of the comic
pages?

Accessories Provide
Fashion Interest
At the National

washington's hrst-night theater
audiences just haven't been able
to make up their minds this sea-
son-fashionably speaking, that is.
For the most part, semiformal
attire has been the favorite at the
National. with q colorful smattering
of evening gowns and dinner
dresses, and this was again true
of the audience which last night
saw Jane Cowl in Punch and
Julia"
Those fioor-length gowns which
had fashion importance were, for
the most part, dinner-type models
enhanced with interesting accesso-
ries. A vivid red and green print
was worn with long, star-shaped
earrings of the same green. Com
pleting the ensemble was a fasci-
mating three-quarter-length beige
evening coat banded at hem, neck
line and sleeves with Indian-type
embroidery studded with stones.
One smart gown in soft beige was
accented with a coif1ure cluster of
black cherries. Black lace in COM
bination with fabric formed still
another good-looking model dram
atized with a drapery of black lace
worn low in the back of the hair.
Among the street-length fashions
were a number of the new short
dinner dresses" of black net. Other,
less "dressy" types, included q beau
tifully fitted navy crepe with shoul-
der and waistline appliques of
white daisies. Again in navy, an
afternoon style frightened with .
multicolored flowered belt. Black
was frightened in one instance with
two tiny white carnations tucked
under the chin and larger ones on
either side Of the pompadour.
Hats. as usual, were perky. bright
and fashion-right. Favorites were
tiny white Gibson Girl" sailor
of lace and a low draped model of
gayly striped taffeta H. "

That Bacon
Problem
Arises
Child Can Use Fork
To Eat This Food
If Shown How
By Emily Post

"Baconi Baconi Baconl"
mother writes to me. why can't
I let my young son take 1t up In
his fingers when it's been broiled
dry and crisp-too dry to soil the
fingers and too crisp to cut with a
knife and fork? My mother says
it's 'unthinkable-if I care any
thing about teaching him correct
table manners; my dad says 'ridic-
ulous-if I care anything about en-
phasizing the manners that are i'm
portantl Dad says If I make an
issue out of dry broiled bacon. the
child will soon have contempt for
all rules"
"Unthinkable" is much too strong
q word for a fault that is trifling-
and can easily lead to a greater one
If the fragments scatter all about
when he attempts to spear 1t with
his fork. Perhaps If he Is made to
think 1t an achievement to break
1t gently at fold that loops down
on the plate instead of stabbing one
that loops upward, and then lift a
short piece on his fork held shovel
fashion, he might think 1t fun to
learn how.
In other words. bacon in fin
gers" might be put in a sort OF
spoon and pusher" class that he
would want to grow out of. But If
all of the others in the family use
their fingers-then he, too, must
be allowed to do the same. Also I
admit that your fathers point Is
unanswerable.

Why
GrowOld?
By Josephine Lo,Cman

Most women today go to a hos
pital to have their babies. The old
idea that this is for the convenience
of the doctor" has passed and
mothers now realize that this gives
them an extra margin Of safety.
A hospital usually is better be-
cause Of the greater possibility Of
sterile surroundings. Also, the ply
sician can have the help Of trained
nurses and internes, as many as
he needs, at a moments notice.
Hospitals are equipped to meet all
kinds of emergencies. Hemorrhage
can be stopped Immediately, lighting
Is the best, and transfusions and
certain anesthetics can be given
more easily at a hospital than at
home.
It's nice to be at home after your
baby comes but it's probably better
for you to be in a hospital for a
short time, even though your labor
was entirely normal. 1t is impossible
to protect a woman from response
bility at home and also from too
frequent visits from friends.
If you have several hospitals to
choose from, you might keep the
following factors in mind: First,
choose one where the physicians
themselves have a voice in the
conduct of the hospital. You will be
safer there because doctors know
best what changes are needed for
greatest safety and efficiency.
Second, choose one with up-to-date
equipment. Third, go to one where
the obstetric division is separate
from the rest of the hospital df
possible. Fourth, other things
being equal, take the one your doc
tor uses most frequently.
II you wish to have an outline
to follow for your nine months
pregnancy (diet, exercise, mental
viewpoint, keeping your figure,
girdles. etc., send . Scent
stamped, self addressed envelope
with your request for Care Dur
ing Pregnancy" to josephine

Perspiration
Good Skin
Cleanser
Casts Off Wastes
And Promotes
Clear Color
By Patricia Lindsay

By Pafrfcfa Lindsay
Pretty Marion Claire, blond oper-
cite star, rather startles her women
friends when she firmly states that
perspiration is natures best beauty
tonic! But her opinion has value,
for her own skin Is clear and young
looking and her vitality is beyond
question.
unfortunately women try not
to perspire. Their aid should be
to perspire freely, through exercise,
every day." Miss Claire explains.
"Perspiration works from inside out,
so it is double cleanser; it rids
the body of a lot of wastes which
should be cast off and it also serves
as a surface complexion cleanser
of the deep-seated CRIME and other
impurities which the pores gather.
Skin subjected to frequent perspir-
alton is more likely to be smooth,
clear and of good color"
Each day Marion Claire gets into
heavy gym suit which is loose fit
ing and goes through a favored
routine of exercises. She kicks over
her head with each foot at least a
dozen times, and touches the floor
with knees straightD about hun
dred times. Other movements for
posture correction and spot whiting
are included But" she cautions.
these or any other exercises will
not do you one whitAof good unless
you do them in .Wen-timed rhythm
and with a snap for you must
work up to sound perspiring."
The exercise period of Is or 20
minutes is followed by a shower
and a generous putting Of fra
granced body powder all over her
body.
For beauty aids this unusual
singing star relies on her kitchen
shelf, for she uses cows cream for
lubricating her skin, egg whites for
surface cleaning, egg masques for
firming the skin and muscles and a
secret formula made with honey for
an astringent. Priorities which
effect the making of cosmetics will
never bother her, she VOWS, unless
soap becomes rationed!
Il believe" she states, that any
woman is better of with a few care
fully chosen cosmetics to meet her
individual needs than she is with a
vast assortment of preparations.
Cosmetics, if they are efiicacious
for you, should be used frequently
but sparingly to get nice grooming
results"

Both Comfort and Charm
In This Useful Pattern
By Barbara Bell

Yes, it is a dress for comfort-a
dress of charm, too-this pleasing
model shown today in Pattern No.
1923. You will be able to wear it
on so many occasions it will be one
of the most useful frocks in your
wardrobe. And, as often as you put
1t on, you'll be thankful for this
classically simple style which is so
fattering! The soft neckline, the
yoke effect across the top, the soft
tied belt, the skirt with its darts
controlling a firm, smooth line
through the hips are details which
give the dress a loveliness of which
you'll never tire.
A style so basic is suitable for al
most any material. 1t is grand for
light cottons which you will want
TO choose now. it is correct for rayon
prints, for black crepes or rayon

me because it matched my engage

could bring it out of hiding where

perhaps I changed the engagement

AnsweI-If the wedding ring is so

Otherwise, it is best to keep it out

your right hand would also lessen
its significance to others.
