Often the faith and dreams and
ideals of youth are worse for wear
after years Of living. Even the most
eager spirit may become drab under
the stress of daily wear and tear.
Life Is filled with ups and downs,
with good luck and with bad, with
uplifting and with disillusioning ex-
periences. Since marriage is very
concentrated hunk Of life, the same
thing is true of it. Yet nothing
gives a woman the self-assurance,
the freshness, the bloom, or keeps
her young for so long as happy
marriage; while nothing can age
her so quickly or take the sheen
from life so completely as an I'M
happy one.
Marriage is serious business for
any one and especially so for a
woman. Yet young men and women
go into it with little thought as to
the qualifications of the person they
have chosen as life partner. They
cannot believe that they will ever
bore or irritate each other or that
they will ever fail one another in
vital ways. Certainly love and con-
geniality are the very best founda-
tons for a successful marriage but
girl or boy might profit by taking
a realistic look at their future
partner.

Once again, American Relief for
Czechoslovakia offers Christmas
cards made by children who are be-
ing treated and trained at famed
Jedlicka Institute in Prague. The
beautifully drawn and colored cards
are thoroughly saleable in their
own right. They take on added in
terest when one realizes that they
were created by children who draw
without hands and by children who
have been paralyzed for many years,
who are fighting for their future.
Karl Janicek is the young artist
who drew the 1947 Christmas card.
Karl Is one Of the many paralyzed
children at the institute. Severe in
fantile paralysis epidemics during
the years of Nazi occupation left
many Czechoslovakian youngsters
badly crippled, at time when ia
cilities for treatment were all but
nonexistent.
The card depicts a typical yuletide
scene in Observation-Disclosures little
boys dressed as kings following the
Star to Bethlehem. In the back
ground Is the country home of jed
licka Institute at Lochovice-in a
sense, a modern Bethlehem for
these children. The three-king
motif is as familiar in Czechoslo.

Why Grow Old?

Thoughtfulness may not appear to
be so all-important during the en-
gagement days, but In daily living
it turns into a gift from the gods.

esting to the very young, while 1t
will be very dreary to live with day

Divorce is on the upgrade. More
and more workers in human rela-
tions and more psychologists are
giving thought to the problems OF
marriage in order to make 1t safer
investment in happiness. Pretty

Fashion
Notes

For Partisan dress designer
Pierre Balmain the new look"
as interpreted by American
women is not that at all.
The pearls, over-the-shoulder
bag with the American eagle on
it. the wide, full skirt made longer
by the addition of material at
the hem, big hat and the feet
crossed in a Vogue-like manner
these are not the true express
sion of the new look, which he
claims is the idea that every
body had in Paris long before
the war ended.
A new way of behaving is the
way that Pierre Balmain wishes
the new look to be interpreted.
Just clothes aren't enough. The
new look has to give an impress
sion OF the elegance Of quality,
M. Balmain said.
He illustrated his remarks to
the Press several days ago at the
United Nations Club reception
given for him by one of the Ma
tons leading department stores
located here in Washington, by
sketching on a blackboard. He
described the "old look" by say
ing -four buttons, four pockets"
small hat perched way back on
the head, handbag, and very, very
lovely legs. He declined to sketch
his idea of what the new look"
was to him by saying that I cam
not do just cannot"
The opening night of the very
colorful "Song Of Norway. Mon
day night at the National found
women in the audience very in
terested in the costumes. AL
though the whole production is
picturesque it is the waltz Sc
quence in the second act that is
probably one of the loveliest
things ever achieved on any
stage. The rich fabrics of satin,
taffeta, and metallic cloth are
artfully designed into period
fashions beautiful enough to be
worn at any splendid occasion
given today. The feather head
pieces, the decolletages, and styl-
ing of the ball gowns with their
hoops are also enough to make
any woman wish that the Or
chestraS would swing into y time.
The always striking combination
of black and white is dramatically
shown in the same act when
Grieg's wife Nina and the Count
are left together. The Count
ess is wearing a black velvet
ball gown with ostrich feathers
outlining the portrait neckline.
Nina wears a decollete white
taffeta hoped gown with cape
like sleeves.
Another fashion note that is
very quaint and at the same time
very style-worthy, are the cum
merbunds of velvet worn by the
peasant girls In the opening
scene. These cummerbunds in
yellow, gray, and other colors are
thought for the new blouse
and skirt fashions being worn
SO much today. E. s.

The big item when radical style
change evolves is the silhouette.
And this year there hasn't been
just one silhouette launched. There
have been several.
Style changes should be lot of
fun. But after seven years of prac-
tically static style the new ones
came in for lot of not-so-funny
opposition from men, women and
children alike. Many of the argu-
ments they advanced were well
founded and in many instances
fashion editors all over the Nation
agreed with them on a number of
things.
Acceptance on the part of the
American woman was little hard
to achieve. Before she did accept
the new fashions she had to be sure
that what was offered was going to
be satisfactory to her way of life.
Nor was she willing to relinquish
things she had come to like very
much in her wardrobe. And she
was very right!
She also had at her service people
to assist her in making this falls

number of outdated items in our
own wardrobe and wear them now
with great sense of pride. It's also
a lot cheaper!
Hemlines may be "let down" in
any number of ways. A local sew
ing center has a new seam-pressed
facing in black, white, beige, gray,
brown and navy which is ready to
be attached to the very edge Of your
hem. Other methods include in
serting a yoke or sewn-in belt at
the waist. Study your dress care
fully to see which of these altera-
lions will be better for you. If
it is a pleated skirt you are length
ening, always use the yoke or belt
method. That type of skirt Is a
little difficult to make longer at
the hem.
Longer dress hemlines mean long
err slips, too. That problem is easily
solved by adding slip lengtheners'
of ruffiing, embroidered net and
laces. Easily sewed on, and frankly
feminine! -
Be smart about the whole thing
and you'll definitely get much more
enjoyment out OF your fall clothes
the ones you will buy and the
ones you have reclaimed"

COMMENTS.

There are two annoyances to the

ers with the idea that concerted
action on our part may help to
eliminate the trouble.

called to answer the wrong number
en- the telephone. Every one makes
mistakes, but I believe that large
percentage of these wrong numbers
are obtained because they are dialed
carelessly. The party calling fails to
bring his finger all OF the way
around to the hook. In response to
q wrong number I usually ask the
party what number he wants and
1t Is almost always one which diff
fers from my own in one place by
a digit one or more greater than
the corresponding digit in my num-
Der, a fact which tends to corrobo-
rate my above reason. I believe
that in every such case the party
should courteously remind the party
calling to bring his finger all of the
way around to the hook when dial
ing each letter and digit. This
little bit of education might save
time in the long run and the tele-
phone company would probably be
grateful, too. Also, in case ones
anger slips in dialing number 1t
Is better to obtain fresh dial tone
and start all over again than to
risk bothering some one with
wrong number.
Second, we housewives should dis
courage agents who gain entrance
10 our homes by using the name OF
a friend as previous customer
either with or without her consent.
IN the former case the friend often
later regrets having given ones
name. In some cases the product
sold is commendable and the manu-
facturer could not easily sell his
superior product without the per-
sonal demonstration and because OF
its high price. However, I do wish
that such companies would find a
method to place their products be-
fore the public which would be less
Irritating than the present one EN-

BOSTON Dec. 21-P)-Edward
Rowe Snow, flying Santa Claus
of the lighthouses, today set out
on the last and lengthiest leg of
his Christmas misslo1l-to 2,400-
mile-distant St. Augustine, Fla
Carrying on a 20-year-old ira
dition begun by the late Capt.
Bill Wincapaw, Snow last week
dropped Christmas packages to
all the New England lighthouses
and Coast Guard stations. And,
for the first time, he flew outside
the country to remember Cana
dians in 81 stations.
Earlier today he played Santa
Claus at a children's party at
ancient Boston Light, arriving
in an amphibian plane.
Snow-noted historian of Bos-
ton Harbor-was piloted on the
Southern hop by Walter Miscow-
ski of Orleans, Mass, a former
Navy flier. They plan to drop
SO packages between Montauk
Point, Long Island, and Florida.
Snow said he expects to land
at the St. Augustine Light about
Z a. m. (EST) tomorrow.
''Then I'll have to hurry back
to fill my fanily's stockings" he
said.
