.WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lovman

Women often err in selecting a
hat which does not match their
hairdo, or visa versa. 1t is hard to
know which is the horse and which
the cart in this case. We may be
wearing a fiat hairdo when hats go
up, or an upsweeping hair arrange
ment when hats dip. Fortunately
for us, the great hat designers and
hair stylists have recognized this
problem and are today working in
closer consultation.
The fact remains that the hair
and hat must create a symmetrical
whole or the charm of good hairdo
or a beautiful hat that is complete
ly lost. They must match! This
presents us with the problem OF
Individual becomingness. Many OF
the worlds smartest women refuse
to go to extremes in style. They
follow the mode only to certain
extent, always bearing in mind
what makes them look best. This
is entirely possible. You can give
in" enough to be in style without
overlooking becomingness as an
important factor.
Today the current style often dips
down. The one-sided look in haiI
styles and hats gives us some lee
way because this can be used in a
fiattering manner on practically
any woman. The size of the hat
can vary, the extent of dip, and the
amount of hair showing or built
up to fit the high side, can over
come otherwise bad factors.
Eddie SEM mentioned this in my
recent talk with him. He said, "In
the matter of hats, the trend is a
one-sided look. That must be in
terpreted to suit the individual. The
one sided hat can be trimmed Sc
that it is high and elaborate or it
can be so small that it resembles
the cap of a soda pop bottle, When
height is needed the one-sided hat
relies on trimming, ribbon, quill and
so forth"
So, when attempting to create our
most attractive selves. we should
always remember that the scattered
parts of our makeup or costume
cannot be lovely unless they create
a whole, in which each part of the
ensemble is lost in the charming
general effect.

In the ever shifting Washington
social scene from making similar
mistakes that the charming Mrs,
Kurt Hetzel acts In the capacity Of
social secretary for our town.
Whereas the average hostess might
plan a dinner a week or one
splashy cocktail party month, Mrs.
Hetzel is often busy arranging a
dozen of them simultaneously. Her
forte is launching debutantes, for
Washington's young lovelies would
never dream Of coming out without
Mrs. Hetzel to guide them. And
when one considers that the season
Just past, the Christmas holidays,
saw something like 40 debuts, you
get an idea of the enormity Of Mrs.
Hetzel's activities. >
Mrs. Hetzel's position as Wash
ington's social arbiter is one Of vast
Importance and was not handed to
her lightly. Rather it was bestowed
upon her, almost as a crown passes
from one queen to another, after
much consideration following the
death of the beloved Mrs. Rose
Merriam, for many years the
mentor of capital society.
Mrs. Hetzel had occasionally as
sisted Mrs. Merriam with her social
duties and was her logical successor.
Yet she was surprised as well as
flattered when the honor fell to her.
With one big season behind her she
finds the work simply fascinating"
and will probably still find it so
when 20 seasons have passed, for

bored spending every evening at

doesn't even enjoy hearing the baby

But husbands are obsessed with
the belief that wives need no other

LOOK, MA! NO POWDER: What
a boon to the woman who simply
can't see using face powder. There
are many, you know! This new
cream makeup produces the vivid
effects you like. 1t stays on all day
and does not need retouching. The
luminous makeup is medicated and
in some instances can help to heal
blemishes. Ten years ago this
cream makeup was first put on
the market. Originally 1t was a
doctors formula made up for a
famous movie star who had a dry,
scaly skin. 1t helped her skin con-
dition but she was not able to wear
it for streetwear. So the original
ointment was tinted and the pro-
duct on the market today is the
result. The make up imparts a
natural sheen to your face. Re-
member, the heavy made-up look is
OUT for Spring!

HELP WITH PARTY.

(From Mr.. G.. c. WdShtngton.)
E.A. G. w. asked for help with
a party / would suggest that the
following information be used either
for invitations or for place cards.
Obtain necessary number Of paper
napkins, with colored border pre-
ferred, and in lower left hand cor
ner make up an original verse Zone
for each guest or same verse for
the entire party. Print in ink the
same color as border with the name
of the guest either in the center
or on the outside OF the folded
napkin.
Recently I composed and printed
about 100 engagement announce
ments in nearby, town. I used
white paper napkins with a green
border and the verses were printed
with green ink. Using ordinary care
the printing will not blur.
REMOVING CRAYON MARKS?

AUSTRALIA
From Mrs. J. L. M, Viennd.)
would like to help Mrs. M. H. D
by telling her about Australia
but I'm sure she'd get much more
helpful information by contracting
the Australian Embassy about hous-
ing and employment.
Naturally you'll find several re-
adjustments to make, but on the
whole it is much the same as youl
own country. The people will be
eager to help you, and make you
feel at home. With the help OF
your husband df he remembers, II
you acquaint yourself with pounds
shillings and pence" before you leave
here, you'll find your most unsure
bridge safely crossed. I haven't
heard of restrictions being lifted
but you should manage very well on
your clothing coupon allowance, as
you'll be taking clothing and house
hold linens with you. Meat, tea
butter and sugar are still rationed
but with careful planning the ra-
ton is sufficient. doubt that you'll
find much difference in the cost OF
living, for, although it is much
lower there than here, SO are Aus
tralian wages. The standard OF liv-
ing is lower there also. Electrical
appliances are plentiful, but fewer
are seen in the average home than
here, especially washing machines
and refrigerators. might add that
it is useless to take American elec-
trical appliances down there.
The weather depends on the part
of the country you plan to live in.
I am only familiar with the south
east. Melbourne has cold wet WIN
ters and pleasantly hot summers
with exceptional days, of course
There is no snow and houses do not
need central heating. Sydney has a
warmer climate and further north
is tropical. 1t is wonderful
country and if you make it your
home 7 wish you happiness. II
can help you further, RICH has my
phone number, but I know you'll
find the Australian Embassy most
helpful.

RAISIN SAUCE.
From Mrs. J. B. w., Bethesda.)
To M. j. S., Takoma Park who

sauces. The most simple is plain
raisin sauce. Makes about 12a cup

water and y cup seeded raisins, "a
cup sugar and 1s teaspoon salt. Melt
2 tablespoons butter. Stir in until
blended l teaspoon flour. Add the
hot sauce slowly. Stir and cook 1t
until it boils. Add a grating of nut
meg or lemon rind.
The most excellent recipe is on
Page 387 of her book, and is called
Wine Sauce for Ham II. This is
complicated but well worth 1t, and
keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator.

Mount hospital last Saturday
morning. She was the wife of
L. E. Thompson, formerly Of
Warren county, now a resident

Mrs. Thompson was born in

he will be playing in the Yam
kee Stadium outfield in 1851.
They say he's a natural. That's
why he has a long-range con-
tract.
The Philadelphia Phillies,
who had something like 10 bon
us players in their organization
in mid-season-all would have
to be brought up for 1949-have
signed John L. Walz to a con-
tract through 1850.
If he makes good sooner it is
only natural that the Phillies
will tear up his contract and
raise his salary above the $4,000
maximum permitted first
year nonbonus player.
The Cincinnati Reds have a
player in the same category.
He is David Poole, 20-year-old
catcher from Winston Salem, N.
c., who played semi-pro ball at
Elizabeth City, N. C. Poole is
signed through 1850.
The system of signing a young
player for more than one year
appears to be one of the answ-
ers to the silly bonus rule. Un-
der the present set-up-it may
be revised at the Chicago win
ter meetings in December-a
young player has the choice of
signing for a huge sum and pos
sibly going stale by sitting on
big league bench one year, or
signing for more than one year
with assurances to play in the
classification for which his tai
ents are best suited.

several veterans who had their
1948 papers discarded in favor
of new ones. These include
Marty Marion and Don Lang

Sox. The Bosox also gave

For an example on the in
tricate bonus rule maneuver, the

kev personally signed Loes for

all this money in a lump sum
he would be a bonus player.
But as a three-year man the
