has now been perfected to the point
where you can't tell it from real rub
ber. In fact, 1t has its advantages
over real rubber. Real rubber
stretched and eased from the
warmth Of the body until finally it
lost shape completely. Synthetic
rubber will stretch from constant
wear, BUT give 1t tubing in warm
soap and water and it snaps back
into the controlling lines, just as
good as the day you bought it. Syn
thetic rubber demands only that you
treat it with loving care. The better
you treat it, the better it treats you
and your figure-and that seems fair
enough. Ourselves, We couldn't see
a single disadvantage in the world
to synthetic rubber in girdles and
don't think that we weren't right
with you on the complaints that
went up over the first malodorous
yarns in which it was incorporated.
Starting off with what's for the
young and gay who clamor for light
weight girdles, it'll no doubt be hard
to believe, but we really did see lacy
lastex and power net pantie girdles!
They were beautiful to behold!
Then there was a brand-new idea
for the younger crew to wear under
their bouffant evening dresses. This
was called youth corselette." It's
really little wisp of thing which
combines bra and garter belt fea-
lures, and at the same time controls
the diaphragm into a smooth line.
No girdle, this, yet something to hug
the waist into hand-span dimen-
sionS.
For the more mature woman, there
were satin one-piece garments with
Alencon-type lace brassiere tops.
These had all-elastic garters and
panels of up-and-down pull elastic
in the back. Many of them were
cut with lowness in the back that
they might go equally well under
evening or street clothes. Beautiful
brocades were used in corSets for
those figures which need stricter
confinement.
Nylon, to our utter amazement,
seemed to come in sizes for all
shapes-juniors, misses and matrons.
Some of them were boneless, some

Get Back in Line

During the war, corset depart
ments were mostly complaint de-
partments. Certainly they did the
best they could to keep women sup
piled with that which keeps us in
shape. It wasn't their fault that
materials were not as good as they
had been. Nor was it their idea that
synthetic rubber replace real rubber
elastic. Anyway. things just gen.
orally went from bad to worse. Gar
ters lost their snap. Production
slowed up and sizes were few and far
between. Buyers got GUNNER and
glummer-and that's nothing to the
way we women, the customers, felt
about it all.
Well, today we betook ourself to
one of the larger corset departments
in town to see If things were any
brighter. We are back at our type
writer to tell you all that the time
has come to get back in line In
short, we feel unbounded enthusi-
asm over what we were shown
Maybe, right this very minute, you
won't be able to find exactly what
your little heart desires to keep you
in shape, but any day it'll be back on
the counter and the time has come
to cheer up!
And what is it that brings forth
this burst of enthusiasm? We saw
corsets with wide elastic sections

saw beautiful heavy satin. We saw

Off to an Early Start
By Laura Allen

There are cooks and cooks, but
when a 10-year miss turns out
cookies that would put a pastry shop
to shame. we think it's news. Little
Vera Curtis of Bethesda can do just
that, and, what's more, she started
when she was 8!
After watching her mother start
to work, just before Christmas, to
turn out the annual cookie batch,
to use as tree decorations and as
gifts for friends, Vera decided she
would learn to bake, too. The recipe
was simple, just plain molasses
cookie. With patience that is un-
usual in child of that age, and with
a little help from the family cher
father made the cookie cutters from
old tin cans, after Vera had an idea
about the shapes she wanted) she
set to work on her first attempt.
About 10 days before Christmas,
the cookies are rolled out thin, cut
with the fancy cutters, baked, ready
to be iced. Not being satisfied with
plain icing, Vera had to color it, too
The icing is made in one huge batch
separated in jars, and then the COL
ors are blended. Now, according to
Vera, the tricky part begins. The
outlines where one color starts and
another stops are made with tooth
picks; then the different colors are
spread on with a butter knife. Each
cookie takes unlimited time and
patience. Every now and then. Mrs
Curtis said, Vera would just get
tired of the whole thing, say nuts
to cookies, and go upstairs. In just
few minutes, however, down she
would come and start to work again
The ideas for decorating are all he1
own. Some she sees in magazines
but most of them come out of her
own head.
After the cookies have hardened
the ones that are to be hung on the
tree are drilled with a tiny hole fol-
the string to go through. Not once
has one broken during the drilling
process.
With this talent for making
cookies, you'd be led to think that
Vera was we'll on the way to do

slightly boned and some heavily
boned. Some were girdle length and
some corset designs. Looks as if
the choice is yours! In black nylon
there was a beauty of a garment in
all-in-one style with white feather
stitching binding the paneling in the
front together. A frivolous heart
was picked out in the same stitch
at the waist.
For those Of you who love even
the most functional things to have
a gleam of fun about them, are the
gay nineties plaid, striped, and
print garter belts. These come in
taffeta in colors the shades of the
rainbow.
You with your thoughts on get
ting together trousseau will be in
terested in the all-elastic girdles
which we saw. These come in a
beautiful powder blue and also in
.tearose or white; stretch in the side
panels and have up and down pull
front and back They're not heavy
girdles, but just enough to get you
into line with a smooth hip and a
neat waist.

where you can play games, or set
up a tennis net in the back yard.
Get your mother to bake cake or
make sandwiches, and get the boys
and girls you know to come to your
house and the trick will be turned.
Teen-age boys haven't much con-
versation and they have to have
something to do to amuSe them
selves. But they will go anywhere
they can to have fun and get some
thing to eat.
But what makes you think that
you are destined to be old maids il
you don't get boy friends in school?
Nothing is farther from the truth
Many girls are more attractive tc
men in their twenties than they evel
are in their teens. When you finish
school and 60 to work, you will be
thrown in with marrying men anc
have better chance of getting 9
husband than you will ever have ir
the school room.

A few days ago I received a
batch Of letters from about so high
school girls in Monroe, Wash, on
the question Of whether the draft
should be extended. Although the
girls didn't say so explicitly, it was
apparent that one of their teachers
had suggested that they write to
me and give their individual views
on the subject.
We need more teachers in this
country like the one in Monroe.
Teachers who will encourage their
teen-age students to take an active
interest in contemporary affairs,
both of local and national interest.
The letters I received on the draft
question were extremely thought
provoking and interesting. About
half the missives favored extend
ing the draft, the other letters op-
posed the extension. But all of
them were intelligently written and
showed a trend of social conscious
ness
The point I am trying to make is
this. Our teen-age boys and girls
the citizens of tomorrow-should
be and can be encouraged to de-
vote some of their time to problems
of national concern. And it can be
done in the hands of intelligent
and sympathetic educators and pAr-
entS
Not that am suggesting that
Frank Sinatra, Van johnson, to-
gether with high school dances and
parties, should be relegated to the
limbo Of the Charleston and jig
saw puzzles. These interests are
a necessary part in the develop
ment Of normal youth. But the
intelligent and thoughtful student
and most of our teen-agers can
fall in this class if we give them
half a chance-deserve to have a
portion Of their time devoted to
something a little more substantial
1t isn't an academic question. In
a few years our students will be face
to face with the problems now be-
fore Congress and the Nation.
Should we have permanent Fair
Employment Practices Committee?
Should the Draft Act be extended?
How can we improve our relation
ship with other members of the
UNO and preserve the peace? All of
these things are vital to the future
of all of us. but most important of
all to our children who will inherit
the world of tomorrow.
Past experience has shown us that
our youngsters are anxious to de-

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Dorothy Dix: We are two girls
in our last year of high school.
While not beauties, we are not hard
to look at, and We dress well. Yet
we never have date.
This alarms us very much, for we
feel that if we do not get a steady
boy friend while we are in high
school we never will, and that we
are destined to be old maids. How
can we get the boys to notice us?
TWO ANXIOUS GIRLS.
Answer: There is no cut and dried
recipe for attracting boys, as there
is for making sponge cake. 1t just
has to happen of itself and it i.
mostly luck. You can't 60 up to 9
lad and tell him you have decided
to become his girl without soaring
him off.
The most that girl can do tt
make boy notice her is to toll hin
into her parlor, as the spider die
