if you'd like to know where. ).
It's a slick and smart chick who
knows just how delightful suits are
to have In a wardrobe. She already
has thought about smart two
piecer of faille, rayon or butcher
linen for summer wear. Girls
taking summer JOBS will do well to
have such a neat suit idea hanging
IN the closet. When you work this
summer you should try to really
look the part of career girl, and
truly businesslike. :.
And if you are going to wear
petticoats make sure that they are
fully starched and really do bell out
your skirts. If you are taking part
in a fashion do it up right or not
at all Change your summer
cottons, not only with jeweled &C
cessories, but with the addition of a
plaid cummerbund or a GUNNER
bund in a solid color cotton. These
perk up even the plainest of dresses.
Here's how to make cummerbund
that whittles your middle to moth
ing: Fold your scarf on the dag
onal, folding opposite ends to the
middle until scarf is about II inches
wide. Then around-your- waist, sash
fashion, knotting the ends In
front.
For the Teenas whose hating
averages are falling, why not give
up wearing hats that really don't
do a thing for you? Decide on a
little hat that is truly flattering.
These come in all versions. Prob
ably the sweetest is the Dutch cap
with flowers and ribbons at the
back. The sailor and tiny bonnet
shapes are also good.

Here are some dots, dashes and
fashion flashes for you!
This summer you'll be wearing
little gold fiat shoes and pick up the
glitter with a gold belt around your
tiny waists. Your date dress
will probably be \ one-piecer'
Separates are wonderful for daytime
wear but for that special date you'll
want to waltz and whirl in pretty
taffeta or crisp cotton frock.
When you Teenas dance remember
that people see the back of you, too.
Don't let your eye-catching efforts
result in arched eyebrows by wear
ing a too-tight dress. =.
Team your little linen shoes with
4 linen handbag to match. And,
remember, to look really perfect,
linen should be freshly laundered.
No saying you can get away with it
"ju& one more time" Make sure
it is the sparkling clean color you
want by having it washed, ironed
and ready to use. Red denim
playcIothes are gaining favor with
Teenas. The pedal pushers and

very good-looking. These red denims

after receiving their high school
diplomas, 60 into matrimony seeing
only the rosy side of married life.
They are ignorant of the many trials
and tribulations that soon appear in
managing happy home.
Whose problem is this? No one
can completely answer that question.
Some of the responsibility rests on
the shoulders Of the parents, some
on the school and some on the in
dividual. When = couple decides to
take the momentous step, both par
ents Immediately begin to point out
the hundred and one problems that
eventually arise in married life, but
by this time the prospective bride
and bridegroom are, ,sure they are
capable of handling anything and
everything that might come up.
OF course, this Is not true In all
cases, but speaking strictly from an
average teen-ager's point OF view,
it Is true in a great many. Upon
graduation from high school, the
student is equipped with sufncient
knowledge to be able to make his
way in the world, but what good is
this knowledge If he does not have
the ability to use 1t in making q
happy home.
Separate courses are offered In
high school to help the coming gen.
Grafton prepare for marriage. Home
arts, economics and sex education
are available to those who wish to
take advantage of them. But it has
never been pointed out just how
much these courses will ~proflt the
student in years to come. Why is
it not possible to unite all these
courses and many more into one
well-organized subject, that will be-
gin in the first year Of high school
and terminate upon graduation?
Capable teachers that would show
boys and girls the practical func-
tions of home life. Planning menus
and budgets, shopping for groceries
and other essential household items,
allowing both sexes to see and real
lie the complexity and, above all, the
expenses of modern-day living. This
would assure couples that when
financial problems arose, they would
both be capable OF coping with
them. Detailed instruction on both
the physical and mental outlook OF
marriage should be included in the
course. All phases OF marriage
would be clearly explained.
The growing divorce rate shows
that something should be done to
insure the future Of happy Ameri-
can homes. If classes in choosing
a husband or wife, in managing a
successful home and in raising
healthy children are the answer,
then, If possible. something should
be done about organizing such
classes. We are the wives and hus-
bands of the future, show US the
way to make successful marriages.

London's Old Curiosity Shop

A famous Dickens "haunt" which
has changed very little in appear
ance since Dickens time is the Old
Curiosity shop in Lincoln's inn
fields, London, where, it is claimed,
according to the story by that name,
Little Nell lived with her GRANDPA
ther. Here are to be seen pictures
by Hogarth which Dickens hung in
his own rooms, a pen tray used by
him, first editions of his novels and
a variety of original etchings Of
London. AS in Dickens lifetime,
the Old Curiosity shop is still an
antique shop. 1t was a favorite port
of call for G.I.s on leave in Lond-
don during the war.
