won't be enough afraid of them and
they will get you before you scent
any danger in the air. You won't
know how to distinguish nerves
from temper, or why they cry for
joy, or why you have to persuade
them into doing the thing that they
have made up their minds all along
to do.
I can't think Of any creature in
the world SO helpless as the man
who doesn't know anything about
women trying to deal with q wife.
What he recalls of his mother won't
help him, because mothers are in
a class by themselves. No other
woman Is as humble and adoring
and self-sacrificing. as forgiving and
as long-suffering toward man as
his mother. Besides, her interests
do not clash with his, as do wife's,
so mother doesn't prepare her son
for matrimony.
I think you have waited too long
for matrimony and that you are
better off as you are. Especially
as you are worrying about the sup
port of your wife. If you get mar
ried you will have to open up your
pocketbook.

Petite, vivacious Sally de Mar
CO, half of the famous dancing
team, claims that seven or eight
years ago her husband, Tony,
suggested that she wear ballerina
length dresses in which to dance.
The first one was designed for
her by California Designer How
ard Greer, who at the time
thought it an outrageous idea.
Today over half of Sally's. dance
dresses are ballerina lengths.
One Of her newest dance dresses
is a beautiful leopard print or
ganza dress by Traina-Norell.
Shaded amber is the color of this
bouffant ankle-length gown with
the high cummerbund signature
note that Traina-Norell uses.
Sally wears amber jewelry with
this dress.
Louise Armour. charming young
Washington designer, is respon-
sible for the loveliness of the
pure silk print dress pictured.
Black and green slippers on a
black background make up the
print. Dipping into the victo-
<rian era she uses ball fringe to
add detail. A hand tucked Or
CANDY blouse with diversified
sleeves give contrast to the softly
shirred top and cummerbund.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Losyman

by Josephine LOtCman
If you will try facial exercises you
will discover that you actually use
your facial muscles in a mild sort of
way when you chew and talk and
laugh. You will experience fatigue
in the muscles of your face. When
beginning facial exercises you should
start in very slowly, doing them only
S times the first day and gradually
working up to 10 times daily. You
must also lubricate your face well
with cream before doing the ex-
ercises.
The following exercise is a good
one: Sit in front of mirror. Open
your mouth, one half wide. Keep
your jaws in this position (not clos
ing them) and at the same time,
try to bring your lips together. Hold.
Relax. Repeat.
I recommend the use Of cream
before doing the exercises. because
in using the muscles in a construc-
tive way, you make little wrinkles
in your face. If the skin is pliable,
these do not last.
The same principle is important
in daily life. Many women acquire
lines simply because their faces are
SO dry that every facial expression
deepens permanently the lines they
create. We might liken this to
leather boots. If you wear them
without oiling them, the impressions
of daily activity are sketched in deep
cracks on the leather. On the other
hand, if you keep the leather soft
and pliable the motions of your feet
will not so quickly leave a deep i'm
preston on the shoe.
1t is true that we cannot feed the
face from the outside, except in the
matter of hormones, which can be
taken into the blood stream through
external application. For this rea-
son, many women pass up the
smoothness they could have pos
sessed by failing to provide outside
fabrication.
Your facial exercises will take only
about 10 minutes each day or eve
ming. and they will bring you lovely
dividends. Surely every woman can
work these few beauty creating
minutes into a daily routine.
If you wish to have my routine of
facial exercises send a stamped,
self-addressed envelope with your
request for leafiet No. Q Facial Ex-
ercises." to Josephine Lowman In

MAKEUP RELIEF - From
those pale, pale pinks SO many
women cannot wear well. At
last to the rescue has come one
famous beauty house with lip

can help bring to life the pastel

Kentucky Negro Voters

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (ANP) = Re-
turns for the most part indicate
that the Negro voters in Ken
lucky followed the general trend
In the recent presidential election.
The third district. which includes
Louisville, which is rs percent
Negro, gave a majority to the
Republican ticket. However this
percentage was not as large as
it has been In previous years.
This indicates that Truman and
Barley drew unusually on the
Negro vote. 1t is believed that
Barley, a native son of Ken
lucky. influenced a greater num-
Der of Negro voters this year
than at any time heretofore.
In the Third district, Atty. AL
