Secrets of Charm

By John Robert Powers

AS every Powers Girl who has
won her laurels before a camera
in a swim suit knows. you can't
be a bathing beauty and casual
about your grooming at the same
time.
The mermaid who dons a bath
ing suit, fuffs some powder on her
nose and thinks she's ready for
the beach-isn't! Casual clothes
are no license for casual grooming.
In fact, the more informal your
attire, the more finished and ex-
pert your grooming must be.
|. If you have any doubts, just
consider how strong the summer
light and abbreviated clothing re-
veal your fastidiousness or the
slightest lack of it. Then ponder
for a moment how little personal
distinction your simply designed
swim suits, shorts and play dresses
lend your looks compared with
your best evening frock.
Convinced? Okeh, then here's
what you should check every time
you want to be your most beguil-
ing in your less beguiling clothes:
/. Feet: Meticulously pedicured
with nails filed straight across the
tip, and polish. if used, to match
flngernails. 2. Ankles: Calluses
at the heel cleaned and leveled
with a wet pumice. 3. Legs: Free

Also, Albert @. Maisel discusses
your Child's Allergy." To-day"
he declares. "our first recourse in
treating an allergy is to the family
physician. He can solve the
problem with satisfying frequency,
particularly with childhood aller-
gies. !. a. The family physician
has one great advantage. He
already knows the patient. He
knows the parents, the other chill
dren in the family. the cir
cumstances in the home"
Finding allergies requires detec-
tive work on the part of the
doctor. he adds. Something,
physical or emotional, in the
child's environment, has caused
him to react violently. and it is
the physicians job to find out
what 1t is.
Most childhood allergies. the
author declares, If treated in their
early stages. can be rapidly under

their proper minor proportions.

But the ones which look perhaps
the newest are those which have
important clasps. beautiful enough
to wear right out in front because
they are made of colorful cabachon
stones. ruby-red hearts. baroques
with rhtnestones or colored
crystals.
For the woman who prefers her
pearls simply" beautiful, there
are some exceptionally fine simu-
lated ones, many of which have
dainty clasps made of a single
colorful stone such as quartz,
tourmaline or amethyst.
Wonderful autumn-gold tones
run through the woods and plaids
which are so popular and there
are metallic touches on the clothes
for later hours. For this reason,
gold jewelry will be particularly
important this season. It, too,
looks newest when it has surface
interest a gold nugget for an
earring :. a twisted cable Of gold
for bracelet.
Large stones in myriad colors
are bound around with beautiful
twists of gold wire, many of the
pieces convertible. A cluster of
stones hung from a gold filled
chain becomes a necklace, but
comes off the chain to pin onto
the lapel of a suit or clip into
the hair as hair ornament.
Every season we describe clothes
and accessories in terms Of the
new silhouette. But this season
jewelry itself has new silhouette.
It is breaking out in brand-new
places.
To match up with horseshoe
necklines and deep V-necks. the
matinee-length necklace is news.
This longer necklace which falls
gracefully low looks pretty and
right with the baroness of low-cut
VS. or the dress with no shoulders
at all.
The high. tight collar will prob
ably be the favorite of the season
and it is equally flattering with
high or low necklines. Happily,
jewelry designers have foreseen
the fact that not all our feminine
necks have a swanlike sameness
and most Of the collars are ad-
Unstable. One designer has made

stones which has insets of jeweled
links like those we all

On her Sd birthday anniver-

For noise is dangerous and can be
harmful to you emotionally and

Memphis. Tenn, is the quietest

the National Noise Abatement

blowing horns is now prohibited
and traffic moves along just as
well as before. if not better. it is
claimed. Los Angeles cut it's death
toll from traffic accidents almost
in half last year, and no honking,
paralyzing and frightening to the
pedestrian, is advanced as one of
the possible reasons for this.
In a life insurance Office in
Hartford, Conn, it was found that
typists' errors were reduced 20

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

"Why Grow Old?" is not a
fashion column but so many let
ters come this way asking about
the appropriateness of different
types in dress that I am going to
untangle some of these questions
for my readers today.
After all, beauty and charm and
attractive appearance depend a
great deal on whether you are
dressed with good taste for this
or that occasion.
In order to give you truly tech
nical advice I asked one OF the
fashion experts to say something
on this subject.
She said: I'm the first place
woman would be much better
dressed if she kept in mind the
kind of life she leads and the use
to which she puts her clothes.
Clothes are for use and specific
clothes are for specific use.
Let us start with the golf dress
which is planned for golf. It has
a full back, full sleeves, full
skirt, everything so a golfer can
take a good swing unhampered by
her clothing. Now that dress can
do for grocery shopping, but if the
shopping trip is downtown; then
the golf dress is out of place.
Nov, sports clothes. This term
does not imply that we are ac-
lively going to indulge in sports.
Remember the spectator sports
term? Sports clothes are casual
clothes. Their place is in the
casual parts of our lives. They
can be used for shopping. spec
tator sports, walking, business,
school, travelling sometimes, and
motoring. With these go casual
simple accessories.
I'VE can probably divide suits
in this way. First there is the
sports suit which is usually made
of tweeds or rougher woolens or
cottons.
Then we have the tailored suit
and the dressmaker suit. The
latter is a little dressier, a little
more feminine, with softer de-
tails.
Then comes the cocktail suit
for late afternoon and informal
evening wear.
Each one of these categories
can spill over into the other some
You will be safe if your clothes
are appropriate and comfortable.
Remember, too, that it is always
better to be underdressed than
overdressed!"

BOARDING,

From J. M. L., Tdkon,G ParkJ
Recently I was in a small
reighborhood grocery store near
our home and I saw one woman
walk out with three 5-pound bags
of sugar. AS Mrs. c. B. D. OF
Chevy Chase recently said in RICH,
Never underestimate the power
ot a woman" Yet this woman's S
power was surely being channeled
in the wrong direction. sincere
ly feel that if all the many read
ers of RICH would pledge them
selves to buy for the present only,
We women could have great power
in this community.
Here's a recipe I used to use in
the old days Of sugar rationing
It's a summer saver in iced tea
and cool drinks when often sugar
remains in the bottom Of the glass
and is wasted.
Boil 2 cups Of sugar with 2 cups
of water for 5 minutes. Chill and
store in jar and use to sweeten
drinks.
Any one else have any ideas
along this line?
