I do not see how . woman can

tweezing the stray hairs from the

always some little light hairs as well
as the darker ones. A much more
accurate job can be done If you will
use a hand glass of this sort.
Also, 1t may not be comforting.

that a good Job of grooming and

It Is also q good Idea to test your
makeup under daylight and night
light conditions, because various col
ors act in entirely different ways In
different lights. What is most be-
coming to you in broad daylight

e' SuCu u stl uSSlc
to get most people to wear hats.
For several years Moselle designed
clothes and hats for q number Of
Government girls. She discovered
that the working girl found it hard
to get good fabrics and colors in the
prices she was able to pay. But,
Moselle thinks working women
should be educated to invest in good
garments that will last them much
longer. If they can only afford to
add two large items to their ward
robe those items should be of the
finest quality. Moselle thinks wom-
en- should take time twice year to
completely revamp their wardrobes.
Good clothes should have at least
a three-year life span except in
case where complete fashion
change takes place. 1t will be quite
some time before another fashion
upheaval like last falls will again
take place Even so, well-designed
and well-cut dress can be redesigned
with excellent results when fabric
and lines are good.
Older women are often the ones
who possess money enough to buy
number of hats. Yet. Moselle says,
these women are oftentimes neglect
ed by hat designers. Take the active
clubwoman type, for example. She
wants a hat to be dignified yet not
ordinary looking. Still, very little
is done to hat her exactly that way.
For these women Moselle suggests
hats with angular silhouettes. Nose
wells also lend themselves nicely to-
older women. Feathers are also
flattering because Of their softness
in helping frame the face. The too
severe hat, especially the one in
black, should be avoided by older
women.
Moselle enjoys scanning old FASH
ion magazines and costume books.
She gets a great many ideas from
them. In fact the present use OF
Empire" styling in clothes and
millinery for fall Is "old hat" to
Mosene. Last year she included q
number of hats in her fall collec-
ton with touch Of Empire" styl-
ing to them.
For the past year she has been
designing hats for 4 number OF
Washington women. She lives In
Philomont, Va, and also designs
millinery for women In Richmond
and Winchester. z. s.

Jewelry That Speaks
to the craftsman putting it

thing to the craftsman putting 1t
there.
Silversmithing is peculiar to the
Indians of the Southwest because
the Indians have always worked
with the materials at hand, and
both raw materials for this work,
the silver and the turquoise, are
found in large quantities in that
area Of the United States. No one
knows when or how the Indians
learned the arts of embossing and
repoussage which they employ 50
skillfully. Like the metal with which
they work, the knowledge seems al
ways to have been there.
The earliest Indian bracelets were
comparatively simple in design
growing in intricacy with the years.
A little turquoise was used as early
as the 1880s, but from its scarcity on
bracelets of the primary style, it
obviously did not become popular
until around 1900 when commercial
ism began to influence the course of
Indian silverwork.
The turquoise, incidentally, holds
fundamental place in the religious
ideas OF all Indians Of the South
west. Since it ranges in color from
the blue Of the sky to the green of
the water, the Indians like the
Egyptians. Arabs and Persians,
ascribe heavenly powers to the
stone. Who would heed the geologi-
cal explanation that the turquoise
is simply the result Of the percola-
tion OF surface waters through
aluminous rocks containing apatite
and disseminated copper minerals
when every tribe in the Southwest
has legend which proves that the
stone is of divine origin? And an
other to prove that the gem is all
powerful, for it is universally known
That if one sees turquoise early in
the morning, one will pass a fortu-
nate day; that the stone wards of
evil, induces rain and destroys
poison.
Indian craft is practically the only
jewelry being made today whose
authenticity can be proved by its
flaws instead OF its perfection.
Whereas a copy of most genuine
articles is usually detected by its
accidental imperfections, most
copies of Indian jewelry can be
easily distinguished by their excel
lence. For much of the silverwork
which is now sold in the East is
Indian design jewelry on silver-col-
ored metal, machine-made in fac
tories.
AS beautiful and intricate as 1t is,
genuine Indian work is not perfect.
The tiny arrow heads sometimes
miss being absolute triangles. One
slanting line in a uniform row will
not be exactly the same length as
the rest. One small design in a
series will be a little out of line.
The border Of silver that holds a
turquoise stone in place In a ring
is not quite exact all the way
around. Sometimes the silver itself
Is minutely smudged. So even by
its imperfections, Indian jewelry
speaks, and because of these minute
flaws it has a fascination and
beauty the machine-made article
cannot ever quite capture.

. 1t used to be that the only people
who wore Indian jewelry were the
Indians. And then those colorful
Americans who settled in the Far
West. Today, there is hardly a
department store in the East that
doesn't stock at least a few pieces
OF the exotic looking craft.
The latter development is prob
ably due to the first tourists to
bring back, as we all do now, from
their summer vacations in the West,
silver and turquoise rings and brace
lets along with pottery jugs and
wildly colored blankets and baskets.
Like the tourist" Marco Polo
brought back recipes for ice cream
from his journeys in the Orient, or
Vasco de Cana returned to Europe
from the East with odd little OBJ
jects called fans. And in each case
created a demand at home for
more Of the same.
Anyway, few costume iewelry
wardrobes today lack at least few
pieces of Indian ware, and 1t is
fascinating, so definitely Western
that it actually seems to speak of
The barren country of grotesquely
beautiful rock formations and des-
erts whence it came.
Actually, those rings and brace
lets can talk. Every one Of the odd
symbols cut so decoratively into the
silver has a meaning. Unfortun-
ately, there is no authentic history
on the subject-it cries for perpetu-
alton in print.
What little we do know of the
symbols comes from the Indians
themselves and the old traders.
Like the knowledge that the thun-
derbird means unlimited powers of
good fortune and happiness; that
the Hopi horse, which appears fire.
quently on bracelets, means journey.
A cross denotes paths crossing; the
arrow, pointing toward the center
OF the design, means protection;
crossed arrows, friendship. The sun
symbolizes happiness; rain. good
crops; and the swastika, which the
Nazis adopted without success,
means good luck to the wearer!
Even those seemingly meaningless
little wavy or Sawtooth lines which
often run around the edges of the
bracelets bespeak rain or strength
or good fortune, depending on their
formation. There is not a mark on
the silver that does not say some

KEEPING BABY CLOTHES.

For Mrs. P. Y. M, Washington
In regard to keeping baby clothes
which a baby has outgrown, I think
it is a practical thing to do. My
three boys are three years apart and
I did it in the case Of each merely
by putting the clean clothes away
in a box or drawer. L washed the
diapers before they were used for
the new baby, also first baby clothes
such as shirts, etc. kept the bot
ties on an unused shelf and out Of
the way but of course washed and
sterilized them we'll before using
them three years later. You will
find 1t very economical particularly
if all the babies are the same sex!

Paper Makers and the Int'l Broth

Council of Paper Mill Unions dele

cooperate with all democratic trade
union groups to remove the cause
of Communist influence; ignorance,
anti-labor laws, exploitation, and
other injustices under the existing
social system. A plea was made for
cooperation by management in cur
