In reply to Miss Il. c. D., re
fashions: Yes, I've read several
editions OF Vogue" having been a
faithful subscriber to that magazine
for about is years. Prior to mar

signer working with one of New
York's top-notch coutouriers -
great lady who is still considered
by many as being unsurpassed in
her field. So-in my work and In
the pages of the fashion magazines
1 have seen unsuitable, uncomfort-
able and unattractive fashions fall
by the wayside. Hence my warning
to budget minded women-for am
convinced these new waist-pinchlng,

life, to be cast aside for style
with more general appeal. There

ever, a more general acceptance to
put a fashion over.
You will recall that I did NOT
complain OF long skirts-in fact l
welcome them. believe that skirt

attractive on ALL women-than the
too short skirt. I've been wearing

women I think will like the mid

too full. With the longer but mar
row skirt it will be possible to con-
tinue to wear last seasons fur coat

I object to being laced in by

it ridiculous to expect a modern

done, and the surest way to do it

their talent.
This is a double-action remedy
that works both ways, for if they
really have the ability they think
they have, good. No one would
willingly put out a fire on an altar.
But if they are self-deceived, it is
also good if they find out the truth
in time to do something worthwhile.

One of the problems with which
many families are afflicted is hav-
ing a self-elected genius in their
midst. Sometimes it is husband
who justifies his philandering by his
conviction that he is a great lover
who couldn't possible settle down to
heing faithful to one wife. Some
times 1t Is a wife who believes she
has a grand opera voice and who
spends her life in an orgy of SELF
pity because she isn't standing EN-
up at the Metropolitan instead of
singing the baby to sleep.
Sometimes it Is a homely girl
with no personality and few brains
who grows sour and sharp-tempered
because she has to stand behind a
counter instead of being a million
dollar star in the movies. And often
it Is a man who is still forcing
his mother to support him after
he is 40 years old because he
is so temperamental he has never
found any work that fitted his
talents.
Now these wishful thinkers, who
really believe they could set the
world on fire II they had the op-
portunity, are not only burden on
their families and pests in their
homes, but they are bitterly I'M

WhyGrow
Old?

Not SO long ago. q good friend
dropped by to join me in an in
formal salad luncheon on q card
table, near the air-conditioning unit.
AS you can guess, this was during
very hot weather. She had spent
her morning in a beauty salon and
came just as she was.
My friend is naturally a very
pretty woman, but she looked start
lingly beautiful on this particular
day, strange as this may seem.
since she came straight from the
drierS after a hairdo. With the
instinct of trained bloodhound
getting the better of me, I began
analyzing why she looked so very
lovely Three points stood out.
In the first place, she was wear
ing pair OF the new sunglasseS.
They had an unsweep in their
contour and the colors were charm
ing. The frames and the stems
were made of encased gingham
which combined a soft blue and
brown in their design. The stems
were wide and smart looking. These
colors emphasized her honey-col-
ored hair and big brown eyes. The
glasses were really becoming! Later
on she took another pair of reading
glasses of the same style out of her
pocketbook. These were of different
coloring but just as attractive.
Just in case some of you do not
know it, they are doing wonderful
things with glasses now. I cannot
imagine how any woman can feel
anything but perky when wearing
a pair. This column is to call our
attention to the fact that color can
be flatteringly used, as well as de-
sign, when it comes to eyeglasses.
Number two on my friends beauty
lift list is-she had had her eye
lashes dyed. They did not look at
ali harsh and highlighted her eyes.
Many women fail to realize how
becoming this Is Even If your lashes
are dark, dying brings the tips out.
Be certain that you have an ex-
pert operator and have a skin test
made first, to be sure you are not
allergic to the dye employed.
A third thing which improved
my friend was a soft pink scarf
about her head because she did not
want to comb her hair out quite
so soon. In other words, we can
look attractive even when indulg-
ing in beauty rites. Let this be a
lesson to you as 1t was to mel We
know these things but sometimes
forget them in daily application.
