Why Grow Old?
Avoid Tired Eyes, Feet

avenues with such heel"
There is one great secret which
the Hollywood stars know, but
which many women over the coun-
try do not know. It is this-any.
thing which makes you uncom-
Portable or less free in movement
or self conscious is not for you.
The most glamorous women in
the world wear all kinds of intrig-
uing low or moderate heels when
they know they will walk q lot or
shop in them. They wear those
gorgeous spikes when they are go
ing to crawl into the limousine Cor
the family carr and go to a party.
The same thing is true of eye
glasses. Hal King, advisor to the
stars, told me that there is not a
single woman in motion pictures
who would hesitate to wear glasses
if she needed them. He suggests
that all women wear glasses when
they need them and give up all
kinds of foolish vanities if they
wish to be glamorous and chic.
He said, 'These glamorous and
high-salaried stars regard them
selves as working girls, and take
an attitude which every working
girl should; you cannot work as
eficiently as you should, or look
as pretty as you could, If you are
straining your eyes and your feet
are killing you"
Your personality, your graceful
carriage and walk, your vitality
are the things Of greatest i'm
portance!

NEW YORK, N. Y, July l3.-It
was at the Trigere showing that
her brother, Robert Trigere,
brought out the role that fashion
plays in our lives at all times. He
first apologized to us for showing
a fashion collection when men
once again are dying in battle.
But fashion is. as he explained,
an attitude toward. and in, life
1t is necessary, and need not be
a superficial thing.
Do not think that this fashion
front Is not alert to which way
the wind blows for the entire ma
ton. Though booking figures"
(they are what buyers schedule
early in a season to get from dress
manufacturers are UP some
33la per cent to the IS per cent
increase of one house, the dress
market is very concerned with
world events. 1t is rumored
that should any controls be
put into effect in the
last War with L-85, 1t would take
at least three to four months to
organize any kind Of q governing
body for the industry. Hysterical
clothing buying is not expected
because women fully realize that
it solves nothing.
We have made of fashion a real
language here in America, in
which changing backgrounds

and at long last the American
artist-designer whose medium is
fashion for contemporary women
is getting his que. These Press
