Black Dress Is
Theater Star

At the National opening Monday
night of Elmer Rice's new play, "A
New Life" the star on the audience
side of the curtain was the Little
Black Dress. This important-between
seasons fashion appeared In various
guises. However, the dress with
sheer come-hither touches accented
by spots of color seemed to prevail.
One attractive brunette wore a
short black dress with pretty peek
aboo yoke of net and posed a fuchsia
flower in her hair to match her
gloves. Another black dress had
an entire bodice of sheer net
with bracelet-length sleeves, worn
with turquoise feather headdress
and matching gloves. We also saw
smart theatergoers who fashioned
a smart theater hat" of black
yelling spattered with big puffy pink
chenille dots.
At least one woman in the audi
ence keyed her chic to the high
temperature. She wore an ice-cool
looking gray dress printed with
frosty hydrangeas. Perched head
light fashion at the front of her
blond upswept coiffure was another
hydrangea-one of the smartest
costume effects noted.
If you, too, are planning a new
life, you might take a few clothes
hints from the attractive star of
the play of that name The at
tractive Betty Field, acting the part
of an about-to-be-mother, appears
at the hospital wearing black
skirt and a smart bright Chinese
inspired three-quarter tunic. Leav-
ing the hospital she wears a smart
black faille short box coat with the
large pussycat bow of her dress
lending youthful note to the
neckline. Both are such clever fool
the-eye fashions that nobody will
ever suspect that they are COM

etc. However, we're off on the sub
ject of hair-styling. And In the
better, beauty salons, the one word
theme song is Up!
We don't mean that you all have
to pile curls on top of your head;
we've already seen too many of
those. In fact, sometimes we think
we'll count curls to get to sleep.
What we do mean Is that you'll
sweep your hair up-from the neck
line-no matter what the length.
In general, the newest, smartest
hairdos will be up--and shorter.
The pros and cons of short
versus long hair can go on indef1-
nitely with the men usually voting
for long hair (not a name, how
ever). Just wait until you hear
their enthusiasm when they've seen
Ingrid Bergman's close-cropped curls
and you'll probably change your
mind, too.
Another thing, the Army and
Navy decreed for its uniformed
femmes that hair be one inch short
er than the collar line. Now these
women are singing the praises of
the shorter hair cut. They say it's
much younger looking, that their /
hair looks prettier and, most i'm
portant in these busy, busy times,
the shorter hair is much more con-

Furniture Changeabout

Many a joke has been told about
the little woman who changed the
furniture around so often that the
family never knew where they would
find the bed or the sofa when they
came home in the evening. But every
woman knows that nothing makes
her house more interesting than the
new impression she is able to create

pertinent on paper first will save a

Back OF the good arrangement Of
any room is the practical theory
that 1t must be workable. A room is
not workable when its various
groups do not communicate with
each others or when the traffic areas
run into barriers at every turn. In

And on his return the little brown
dog that followed his 13-year-old

day took under consideration a Fed

struct an incinerator at a cost Of
1852 500, to be leased to the county
for 70 years at an annual cost Of
sl7,5oo.
County Manager Frank c. Han
rahan was instructed by the board
to renegotiate with the Government
on the basis of leasing the project
on $3.50 cost-sharing plan. This
would reduce the yearly rental cost
to the county by one-half.
Basil De Lashmutt, chairman Of
the board. asked the county man
ager to get information on the con-
struction of incinerators serving
areas of comparable size, based on
price levels of normal times.
c. L. Kinnier. county engineer
pointed out that there was trash
dump space available in the county
to last 8 to 10 months. 1t was also
