A young veteran asked me a few days ago. Major what would you say is the one best thing, out of all the rights and benefits coming to us veterans, that we get?" l didn't have to think long to give him an answer.

Why Grow Old?
By JossbAine Lowman

I suspect the old saying, "va-
riety is the spice of life," is much
more potent than we realize. Yet
the business woman, who spends
her days in an ONCE and then re-
turns home to do the same things
each evening, and the housewife,
who goes through the same mo-
tions and performs the same duties
each day. could profit by taking
this theory to heart.
As matter of fact, life tends to
type all of us and to catch us in
traps Of necessity, even in our
chosen careers. This will always be
true because success in any field
requires concentration and lot of
the same kind of hard work. Yet
we can break loose for a few hours
each day if We apply energy, de-
termination and imagination.
We can at least change our out
look. Many situations when seen
from a different viewpoint become
amusing or exciting.
The deadly danger is getting into
q nut in our view of things. As
long as we take our rut for granted
and stew in it rather than laugh at
it, as long as we consider it an end
rather than a means to an end, as
long as we see only our rut and
nothing farther away, we are half
dead and should be pitied.

ion,' from the rockefeller Center
plaza that features a lot of green
cry. So unusual is this building. OF
classic-modern architecture that its
design has been copyrighted. This
is one of the very rare instances that
this has ever been done.
At the press fashion show on
Wednesday night in the stores own
Little Theater of Fashion" we saw
clothes of the 1928 vintage pre-
sented along with 1947-8 fashions.
Fashions in 1928 included an
ankle-length white satin bridal
gown, a "shimmy" fringe dress of
white that was above the knee. With
an apricot velvet dress one had to
go on a searching party to locate
the waist which had dropped down
to the hips. These fashions which
came from the New York Metro
politan Museum of Costume Art
were originals and the very first to
be allowed out of the museum for
use in any fashion event. The fash
ion show bridged two decades and
we can truthfully say that we are
glad we don't live in the day and
age of the "fapper, the spit curl,
the washboard waves and the "cootle
garages"
Today's Houston women are sold
on the fashion names known and
recognized as leaders in the fashion
field, so in reality the clothes that
were shown as part of the 1913
fashions were the clothes on which
we had reported during the fall COL
lections held in July in New York.
Edward Perrault, jr., fashion direc-
tor of the store, did the commenting.
Also featured in this fashion event
were jewels that were flown in
from New York, valued at over
100000.
We really saw more than a big,
wonderful store opening. We also
got chance to- investigate this
Texas look" we are always hearing
about. Dorien Leigh, chosen by
Vogue as one of the four most beau
tiful women in the world, is Texas
girl. And Dorien along with many
other Texas beauties showed of the
very latest creations of Adrian Mil
dred O'Quinn, Nettie Rosenstein,
and Greed of London. The Texas
look" If these girls are representa-
tive, is wide-awake, smooth, and ter
ribly, terribly style conscious. We
now know why these tall, lovely
girls from Texas lead off in many of
Americas beauty parades.

Little girls-and mothers of little
girls-have been expressing thanks
recently to Mrs. Miriam Blum Rich
man of Chevy Chase, whose pocket
book dolly supplies happy and
practical answer for small fry who
want to have fun while visiting and
travelling. And Mrs. Richman's
pride in her travelling doll is not
dimmed in the least by her accom-
plishments on the furthermost
rungs of the art ladder-she Is cur
rently painting Secretary Marshall's
portrait, and is having her first one
man show in New York this winter.
The "pocketbook dolly" has been
carried by local department store
for one month and Is now in its
second shipment. The French felt,
shoulder strap bag that houses the
doll Is turned out in blue, yellow
and pink. In much the manner of
the magician and the rabbit, a small
traveller can settle herself in train
or car and pull the doll out of the
bag. And, like an endless success
sion of scarves with which magi-
clans also are adept, she can also
pull from the bag the dolls ward
robe-an organdy- dress (pink, blue
or Yellow, panties and a petticoat.
Also kept inside the bag is little
girls pocketbook for comb and mad
money. When the bag is closed
compactly for travelling the dolls
head-sculptured by Mrs. Richman-
remains outside to decorate the bag.
Margaret O'Brien will give the bag
her stamp of approval by carrying
it in a Forthcoming picture.

Although the showing in the
Etienne Gallery on West Fifty
seventh street this January will be
Mrs. Richman's first exhibition Of
her oil paintings, she's already
had several showings Of her work
in water colors and sculpturing. DR..
Otto Kallir, discoverer of Grandma
Moses, Is the gentleman who first
recognized Mrs. Richmans talent
and arranged the showing.
Besides Mr.. Marshall-whom Mrs.
Richman declares Joy to paint
she has painted Albert Einstein,
Bernard Baruch, Drew Pearson and
Ingrid Bergman. One of her favorite
subjects was 73-year- old Mrs. Sarah
Demhitz, remembered by native
Washingtonians for her so years Of
service in the public school system.
Actually, II sculpture in paint"
declares Mrs. Richman. Her work
is rugged, her paint is applied
thickly and her subject is pointed
up with riots of color. Her marine,
flower and landscape paintings will
also be featured together with her
portraits at the January showing.
Mrs. Richman is the mother Of
two children, 5-year-old Paulette
and 31a-year-old Roger. Roger,
incidentally. made his own claim to
fame this summer. To the amaze
ment of innumerable adults, he

No matter what your individual
situation Is. the whole sweep of life,
the world of ideas and love and
activity are waiting to be tapped.
1t doesn't matter so much where
you are but how you look at your
surroundings, what you are doing
as to what you want to do, what
happens to you as to how you meet
these happenings. Your outlook
gives the AL to daily living.
So, II you are in the middle Of a
difficult situation which at present
blinds you to the joy of living, or If
you are bored with what you are
doing, change what you can and
remember that it is only a phase
which is not permanent unless you
yourself make 1t so. Why not do
what you can and then take life to

OF your ability? It seems too bad
that routine and habit so often put
