Bright Light Fornality

Party lights are starting to twinkle
again--and women will do their part
in contributing to the brightness.
Already they're sweeping down
theater aisles in long dresses which
they also don for private parties and
other occasions where last year they
might have compromised on the
short version.
There's romance and elegance in
the air-concocted Of pretty women
looking their most scintillating best,
of rich shimmering fabrics falling in
sinuous folds, sometimes lavish with
exquisite handwork of beads and
sequins.
Since WPB still says nix to the
full l-skirted formula for elegance in
most fabrics, designers have had to
achieve the full-skirted look via
tricks of cut or the use of fabric
that manages to look more lavish
than 1t is. Nothing, for example
could look richer than stand-alone
slipper satin in cinnamon brown as
it falls shimmering from a small
waistline on a short-sleeved gown
with horizontal draped bosom. Fol
the young, of course, there are still
lovely picture gowns with figure.

one shoulder to the other hem of a
simple gown. Glitter Is restrained,
on the whole, often being limited to
sequin flowers at the waist or neck
line, again bordering the neckline
and sleeves. Rich-looking in a gen.
teel way are the Oriental beaded ef-
fects such as embroidery of tiny
beads in Chinese design on celes-
tial blue gown with one row of beads
trimming the neck and sleeves. Also
in the Restrained Elegance Depart

light up few of the simple gowns
such as pure white V-necked gown
with gold-beaded border design de-
lineating the peplum and extended
shoulder line. The epitome of ele-
gance this year is the all-beaded
sheath that shimmers as you undu-

beaded sheath undulates-so no in

After a lovers tiff, a girl should
let the man be the one to make
it up. If she does the apologizing
he will think she is so much in love
with him that he can treat her as he
pleases, but If she waits for him to
come back. he thinks she can take

vanity and arouses his interest in
her. He wants to find out if she is
not as much in love with him as he
thought she was and how it is she
has been able to resist his fascina-

AS for your individual case, you
must be dumb indeed if you do not

Dear Miss Dix: Should I take the
old adage that says pride is a
luxury which a woman in love can
not afford" at it's full value? The
reason l ask Is this: / am engaged
to boy who is in the service and
/ promised that / would wait for
him until he came back from the
war, but another chap came along
with whom I fell desperately in love
and who told me that l was the only
girl. so promised to marry him.
But now this second boy and !
have quarreled and he has broken
of our affair and says that 1 had
better 60 back to the first boy and
that will be happier with him. Now
what shall I do? Shall l humble
myself and 60 back to the first boy
and ask him to take me back?
TROUBLED GIRL.
Answer: I think that instead OF
pride being luxury to woman in
love, 1t is necessity If she wants
to keep herself desirable to her man

Your Psychologist
BY DR.. w. II. Young

Most nervous people have some
sense Of fear, but there are others
who are obsessed with fear. Some
nervous victims fear to leave their
own house, others cannot ride in a
bus or on an elevator. Being in q
crowded place will cause panic in
many.
Subconscious fear is the cause OF
AL such nervousness. Somewhere in
the background Of the individual.
usually forgotten, is an unpleasant
experience or series Of events which
have made = deep impression on
the subconscious mind. Under stress
such people will feel unreasoning
fears for which there seems to be
no explanation.
These people are usually told
there is no hope for them, that
they must overcome 1t themselves.

that the pods and tWigs would not

pod made good showing, especially
wistaria beans. Just ordinary small
paint brushes were used.

I am a daily reader of The Star

ing II your readers could help me
on these 10 'hows" which I have
been puzzled about for quite awhile
Cd How to remove acid stains from

spots from tile? (4) How to remove
brown furniture polish stains from

to get the musty odor out of suit
cases? 90 How to get rid of brown
worms found crawling around cor
nerS and floors in house? (7) How to

Mine always seem to shrink.
Now I would like to pass on, If
may, a few household hints: % Hot
water. ammonia and mild soap are
best to clean enameled wood sur
faces. CD Chewing gum stuck on the
rug or the seat of a chair can be
removed by rubbing hard with a
piece OF ice. 80 Perspiration stains
disappear when garments are soaked
IN a solution of strong salt water
before washing. % To keep peeled
apples from turning brown while
standing, cover them with salt
water. 80 If vaseline is heated a
little and rubbed on doors or hinges
that squeal. they will be noiseless.
90 When bathing baby, place
Turkish towel on the bottom of tub
to prevent a fall. % To prevent
children from slipping on new shoes,
