Womun,s World 'h
Start Out the New Year Right
By Making Yourself Attractive
R G,,ta Mak4

MHEN YOU catch yourself look
w ing in the mirror and saying,
"Pm not as good-looking as ] was
at TO-" look out lady and take your
self in hand. Or, if you shrug off
doing something about your clothes
with the fiimsy excuse, "The fash
ions are for me this season." be
truthful to yourself at least and
admit that you're just being lazy.
No woman, with all the modern
aids to make her attractive, need
feel that she has lost her youth
and charm. True, she may have
added a few years, but with those
years she gains new kind of
beauty, a poise and maturity that
is even more attractive than her
beauty of the early 20s. And as
for fashions, isn't it bit silly to
think that designers would neglect
any type of woman?
No, let's face the facts. Somehow
or other, you've just let yourself
slip, and what you really need is
to attire yourself in the latest, and
I defy you to find at least half
dozen styles that you can't wear.
Sometimes it does take bit Of
looking to find just what we're
after, but when you do find it,
wear it, and you'll enjoy the COM
pliments.
No longer can women ask,
(Which is better, to be dressed be-
comingly, or to be dressed in the
height of fashion," There may once
have been a reason for this sad
plea but now we have so many edi-
tons of each trend that if you try,
you can find one which will be
flattering especially for you. And
don't shy away from adding few
imaginative touches which will en-
nance the style for you.

If you tend to run large in the
hips, don't consistently avoid
dresses which have some hip inter-
est. Look for dresses with a side
draping or other such interest that
breaks the hip line and actually
gives you nicer look than the
absolutely straight skirt.
Don't ever discard or, for that
matter, buy a dress without inves-
tigating the hemline and what it
does, or can do for you. Letting
the hem down, or perhaps lifting
it as little as half an inch can
improve your appearance hundred
per cent. 1t all depends upon your
height and the size of your legs.
What about sleeves? Well, here
you have all kinds TO choose from.
For thin or heavy arms, you'd do
best to avoid extremes. Follow ma
tural lines and skip the too-full types
or the bare arm look.
If you have a tall, slim figure,
look for dramatic peplums to cut
your height. You are the girls, too.
who can wear wide belts with inter-
esting decorative detail. Double
breasted suits are very catering.
On the other hand, if you are
slim, but short, look to the short
boleros with high cut waistlines,
princess lines or pinafore effects.

Imaginative Tricks

Scarves are a happy pickup
for many an old dress. Wear
them as interest underneath the
dress to add touch of gay print
or color to the costume, or simply
sling them over skirt or dress
neckline and tie in back.
Don't stop there though, for a
scarf can add hip interest if it
is wrapped around you and
tied in perky bow. Or, wear
it around your head, but expert
ment with effects first.
There's a variety of ways to
wear the peplum. Use it in
dramatic and contrasting colors
if you want to point up interest
at tiny waistline. Tie them like
aprons, pleat them dramatically
or use an all-around effect. II
you want to subtract inches, use
peplum colors that match the
basic dress and use smooth-it-
ted effects.
Dickies have innumerable po-
tentialities. Since the area
which the dicky covers is small,
the color can be intense but II
should be chosen for extreme
compliment to you.
II you're slender and of an
athletic nature, use hug-me-tight
vestees. II you're more the fluffy
type, use short boleros that but
ton, have sleeve interest and
have perky starchy look about
them.

Fashion Forecast

The front button, princess style
variation is still nice fashion for the
dressy coat. You can be clever with
accessories with this basic coat.
Trimming takes a back seat on
evening clothes. They're glamorous,
perhaps even more so than before,
but the interest is in material and
lines rather than "things added"
to the costume.

For the younger set the pinched-
In waistline and wide belts have a
wide appeal.
Fashions 10 keep you warm
have style, too. Notice the smart
lines Of fur-lined coats that avoid a
baggy appearance, and watch for
color interest, particularly the con-
trast treatment being used quite
extensively.

Very often you haven't the time
to change your makeup. But you
can refresh your skin and get a
fresh glow! Wrap an ice cube in a
bit Of damp cotton. Sprinkle this
with skin freshener or toilet water.
Rub over throat and face. Press the
perfumed ice cube over the closed
eyellds. Press cosmetic tissue over
throat and face, then pat on face
powder. Brush of excess. A little
Accent with your lipstick--and there
you are!

Follow the Fashions,
Find Own Version

A good way to illustrate this is
to watch women who are buying
their clothes. I've seen many a
tall, bony-chested woman turn down
a ''V'' necked dress which was 9TH
erwise perfect for her. Had she
spent little time thinking about
it, she could have used froth Of
attractive ruffles at the neck, or
even a clever dickey effect which
could have done neat job Of con-
cealing, and made lovely gar
ment for her.

Hoods Are Pretty as
Well as Practical

For instance, take the hood. Ac-
cording to Chicago Fashion In
dustries, it is extremely popular,
especially with the young crowd.
1t makes a lot of sense to wear it
on cold days, and chances are
you've been tempted to have one.
If your features are tiny and you
have a good profile, or if you have
a long, lean face with high cheek
bones, the tailored version of the
hood will do the most for you.
But don't discard the hood idea
II you don't fit in the above cate
CORY. Let's say that your features
aren't quite as perfect as you've
wished. You're the kind who likes
to wear soft hats with perhaps a
fluff of hair to break the severity
Of the hat.
In its usual form the hood is not
for you, but suppose you try a
knitted, loose snood that gives you
the covered-up look and provides
the necessary softness. You might
even try bangs or a soft fluff of
curls to decorate the forehead. Or,
if you don't wear bangs, you
might arrange wave or push down
the pompadour for similar look.

Byrd Asks Early End
To 'Appeasement' Of
Labor in Picnic Talk
By John W. Stepp
Stor Stoff Correspondenf

BERRYVILLE, Va, Aug. 81
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
yesterday called for an end to the
"appeasement of ruthless labor lead
ers and their unions" before the
country, through lack of production,
goes over the precipice of financial
disaster"
He spoke before more than 1000
fruit growers attending the first
picnic since the war given by the
Senator on his Rosemont estate,
near here.
The Senator declared that unless
strikes end, this country cannot
hope to become solvent" and denied
charge made during the recent
primary campaign that he was a
labor hater."
Against Special Privileges
Il am simply against special privi-
leges such as the unions enjoy when
they are not made to stand by their
contracts" he said.
He added that unions should be
incorporated and required to file
annual reports with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, "the
same as any business"
why shouldn't the salary of John
l.. Lewis. or the expenditures of the
CIO Political Action Committee in
campaign funds be made public Just
as my own were in the recent rather
bitter contest?" the Senator asked.
Speaking strongly in favor of a
balanced National budget Senator
Byrd said 1.-The people must demand
economy and fight against1owaste
and extravaganza -:~t-f /.
"Must Take Stand. ~.
''The time has come" he. added,
when everyone in and out Of pub
lie life must take a stand for or
against in the issues of the day.

turnout to date Among the guests
were Democratic Representatives

tor John Battle, State Conservation
and Development Commissioner
William A. Wright and former

holdings are among the largest in
the United States. provided all his
guests with lunches which included
fried chicken, country-cured ham
sandwiches, a peach grown in the
Byrd orchard, potato chips, cake and
ice tea. Guests sat on apple crates.
On all sides apples strained the tree
limbs and on the ground were more
apples for all willing to pick them
up.
