Be a "perfectionist" about your
clothes-their assembling, fit and
smartening up and your looks will
reflect the infinite care that you
take.
Milo Anderson, Hollywood stu.
dio designer, says its this pains
taking care the stars take to per
feet their looks which helps pu'
across their box-office appeal.
Joan Crawford, he says likes
out f-the-ordinary tricks of tying
in her costume effects. To int
crate flowers into a costume, fol
example, she has twin Sits cu1
and buttonholed into a suit JACKIE
especially to give anchorage to the
stems of her posies.
Alexis Smiths super-ensem.
bling is another case in point, An
derson cities. If her suit lapels are
faced with contrasting taffeta
that trimming is Alexis cue for g
matching hat or a snood. This idea
or variations played upon it
is a good one to remember wher
you want to make your suit anc
your accessories look as though
they were made for each other.

Stars who want to score ward
robe hits are just as exacting
about the fit of their clothes, says
Anderson, citing the self-orginat-
ed Jane Wyman trick of swapping
shoulder pads to her slip-straps
for wear under sweaters. Jane
also snaps pads to her lingerie
straps for wear with play clothes
which don't come equipped with
shoulder-building devices.
Rounded Waistline
To keep slim skirts from buck.
ling across her hips, Joan Craw-
ford has the waistline rounded ir
the back as much as three inches
This trick-it's particularly help
full if your skirt is topped by a
brief Jackets good one to use
for minimizing hip curves. Joan's
idea of weighing her hemlines
to make them hang as evenly as
carpenters level is also one tt
add to your own repertoire.

DIFFERENTIATION ATTITUDE

When the Democrats are in office,
they do few things that please the Repub-
licans, so far as they admit publicly; when
the Republicans are in power, almost
everything they do is of no consequence to
the Democrats
That is party feeling, but we should
bear in mind that it stems from individual
feeling.
In the writing world, for instance,
amateurs and even professionals, in many
instances, see little worth while in the
writings of the other fellow A few days
ago we read an account of successful
writer in the field of detective fiction Who
has not associated with other writer's and
considers them as tawdry, or something to
that effect. ogisg,f
Leave it to the 'Eouts" in any calling
in life to speak disparagingly of the "ins''
We know of radio commentator who
is reported to be earning $4,000 an
nually, but the ''outs" and some of the
''ins'' too refer to him as having a very
limited mentality, to use mild term of
criticism.
Persons, who put off writing letters
for weeks, always can turn out better
column than is published daily in local
or any other newspaper. As the late o. O.
Mcintyre said, only he who produces a
column daily knows the extent of the task
with which he is faced. Determining on
something new to write every day in
similar general way is something that only
ga professional can do, acceptably yet any
amateur, who kn1ws little about the enc
ployment Of words, win scott and tell you
how. much betterhe can do arAouy
Many Of us think we know now to do
better something that another is doing,
and that is particularly so if the other has
gained a large audience and is paid large
salary.
Such is human nature or goodly part
of it. The only way to convince anybody,
who entertains a better-than-thou attitude,
that he is wrong is to let him try the task
himself.

strikes but they cannot be eliminated al
together. Only dictator nation can do
that and we prefer democratic form of
government with strikes, rather than a
totalitarian country without strikes. Be-
