out bumblebees the British would
have had to fight minus their all
important cavalry. Only the bum
blebee has a tongue long enough to
reach the nectar deep in the blooms
of red clover, so that fertilization
of the crop depends entirely on it.
And it was mostly on red clover
that the British fed their horses.

HYsLOP admits that crop-destroy-
ing and disease-carrying insects
must be fought, but insists that
they number only few hundred
of the 100000 U. S. species. Best
weapons against them, he says,
are other insects.

in California from Australia some
years ago. This tiny insect swept

Lisa Joaquin is an unusual per-
son to begin with. For one thing
she is quite articulate concerning
her work and her suede flowers
are realistic impressions of the
beauty she sees in natures exotic
flowers, leaves, and their inspir-
ing colors.
She uses many feathers such as
lizard. suede, and cobra. Often
she combines them to make
leather accessories that are a far
cry from the bulky and unf1atter-
ing pieces one occasionally sees.
The approaching fall season
will be a great one for tweeds,
basic simple fashions. and fine
fabrics. We think Lisa has hit
upon a very nice accessory touch
for these fashions in her suede
accents. Many designs are made
up in autumnal shades of green,
red. and rust.
According to Lisa, fashion is

a personality thing" We whole
heartedly agree with her when
she says that woman who knows,
likes, and understands her fash
ion can achieve the poetry of COM
bining various forms to bring out
what is most expressive in her.
The use of even so small an &C
cessory as leather flower or a
grouping of small suede autumn
leaves on a suit or a wool dress, is
enough of a marker for others to
see that here is a woman who
wears an accessory to express her
individuality.
The sameness of the mass pro-
duced has tendency to produce
monotony in fashion. The hand
made accessory, small though it
may be, is often sufficient to pro-
duce the surprise" to costume
Most American women seem to be
afraid of surprises. Lisa contends.

element that is one of the Euro

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Have you lost that sleek, slim,
youthful feeling and sunk into a
middle-aged matronly appearance
with a resulting middle-aged out
look because of a few extra
pounds?
If so, take heart! You can re-
gain your youthful silhouette
which will give your approach to
life lift. This week I am print
ing a few Marathon results. which
come from women who entered
my Eight Week Self Improvement
Marathon a few months ago.
I often am impressed with the
fact that the greatest factor Of
change between pictures taken 20
years ago. as compared to the
present appearance Of an individ-
ual, is the extra weight they have
acquired. It's not SO much the
lines as the jowls: not SO much
the gray hair as the thick waist;
not so much the dignity as the
protruding abdomen which adds
years to appearance.
This week I am printing some
letters from successful Marathon
entrants. Today's letter says:
Just a few months ago
weighed ITS pounds. now weigh
145 pounds. Your column has
been worth its weight in gold to
me! I accomplished this by fol-
lowing your diet and exercising.
I have surprised many people. my
doctor included. He keeps asking
me if I am taking reducing pills.
IT have also had long hair for
many years, and just recently had
1t attractively cut. This, plus my
loss of weight, has made a new
person of me. I am very anxious
to find out why can't seem to
lose any more weight"
This letter stimulates two
thoughts. One-let me tell my
reducers that the slow up in loss
of weight is natural and to be
expected. If you will continue
with your diet. although this is
discouraging when the weight loss
stops, you will begin losing pounds
again. Just keep on counting cal
ories and the scales will again
give you happy news!
Two-when woman knows
that her figure is poor she is apt
to lose interest in her general
attractiveness. Once she has a
basic lovely figure to work with,
she begins taking an interest in
clothes and hair styling, whereas
the whole thing seemed hopeless
before. Lose those extra pounds
and then you can have fun ex-
perimenting with hair-styling,
clothes and makeup for a lovelier
you!
If you would like to have my
general reducing routine which
gives you a loss of around 20
pounds in eight weeks time, send

ope with your request for leaf1et

How to buy dress, 1949 style
(and good on into 195D is the New
York Dress Institutes timely
guide for eager autumn shoppers.
Here are some tips to carry in
your head-or your handbag
when you go out to add to your
wardrobe.
/. This is the season to be open
minded about the kind, color and
fabric of the dress you know you
need. Silhouettes are varied
enough so you can afford to ex-
pertinent. Color is a thrilling
rainbow which is pushing our
long loved "basics" out of the pic
ture. Satin may be the very thing
you want-but you don't know it
because you are used to thinking
of wool at this time. Anyway,
do a little research on today's
fashion trends, then apply it to
your own life and needs.
2. Take tip from your fashion
editor. Garry a notebook with
you when you 60 out to shop. Be-
fore you leave the house, give your
clothes closet the once-over, and
make a list of the clothes you
have which are still good for this
coming winter. You will find this
frame of reference" invaluable
when you study a dress in a new
color or a fabric you hadn't
thought of before. Be sure the
new garment will fit in happily
with your coat. your accessories
and your other dresses.
3. The real purpose of the note
book, though, is to make notes
on what you like as you go
through your favorite shops. Never
buy dress Whimsically or aim
lessly. Consequently, never buy
the first dress you see. Maybe
you will come back to it later, but
then you'll know it is the perfect
dress for you, and be the happier
for it. AS you visit your favorite
shops. make note of the dresses
you like best, the designer, num-
ber and price. After you have
looked carefully, return and re-
check until you have selected the
one you like the best. Maybe you
feel timid about 'just looking,
thank you" but every good store
wants you as satisfied customer
and saleswomen will be happy to
give you careful and thorough
service.
4. Do not cling grimly to the
idea that you wear a certain size
when the fact is that your figure
has changed. The size on the
label is unimportant-a matter
between you and the saleswoman
only. But you in a dress that fits
too soon" is a sad waste of your
effort and an insult to your good
looks.
S. Don't buy a dress that re-
qulres too many alterations, no
matter how much you like it.
Alterations are expensive, and
often unnecessary when you buy
the right size in the first place.
Modern manufacturers are past
masters at Bizing dresses to 1T
every type OF figure. If you
regularly require alterations to
shorten the waistline, take up the
sleeves. let down skirts or take IN
the side seams, it is probably be-
cause you are buying a misses
size when you actually require
junior. half-size, petite or tall-girl
size. All these "in between" sizes
m the very latest fashion trends,
are to be found in your good
stores"
6. Be aware Of new fashion
Evening star., 1949-08-10

trends, then choose the ones that
will do the most for your figure.
If your problem is hips, stick to
full skirts, which are smart this
year as they were last. Look at
the new large-collared suits, the
stole neckline dresses. and dresses
with tunic and overskirts. They
will all be flattering to your figure.

Experts Advice on How to Buy Dress

Your skirts should be no longer
than II inches from the floor.
Long panels and floating godets
are good for you.
If you have a sway back. "
avoid back fullness on skirts and
hustle effects. Side drapery is
good as are pleated skirts and
apron effects,
Evening star., 1949-08-10

If you have to watch the bust
line. notice the new bloused-top,
casual dresses, the bloused-back
suits and the short dinner dresses
with built-in wired bras. Dresses
with a slight pad on the shoulder
are preferable to padless sleeves.
If you are short, avoid two
piece dresses in contrasting colors.
