A simple woolen dress of which
European women are so fond was
shown in gray designed by Bal
main, very skillfully draped and

it is a shame that more American
women don't care for woolen
dresses for no other fabric can be
more beautifully manipulated.
Course, one big reason, which
Miss Fairall recognizes, we're sure,
is that the heating in America is
such that the wooden dress is not
as much of a necessity as it is in
Europe.

This is Paris Jubilee Year and
the French designers have gone
"all out" to make it their fashion
jubilee year, too. Dipping into
Paris sentimental past they have
turned their present talents to re-
viving the mode for evening fash
ions that smack of the days of the
"Grande Couture" when names
such as Lanvin, Chanel, Vionnet,
Poiret, Worth, and Paquin filled
the fashion columns. The evening
gowns are clearly stamped gala
and evoke memories of diplomatic
receptions, balls, and gay parties
Practically, however, rules the
French designers this season in the
creation of their daytime fashions

Elizabeth Fairall for the leading

that it was in the evening gown

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

If dieting bores you, think how
It must bore all your friends and
relatives when you diet-and talk
about it!
This is very natural thing
to do. When we are in pain of
any sort it is comforting to tell
our troubles to others. Also. it is
actually embarrassing to pass good
food by without an explanation.
One has the feeling that the
hostess or host will feel that the
food just does not appeal to us.
What can one say?
You cannot very we'll say that
you ate before you came and it
would be even worse to say Such
or such a food makes me break
out in a rash than such or such
food makes me break out in
bulges." This is a real problem
for the woman who is dieting
seriously.
Too often women talk about
dieting month after month, year
after year, and nothing ever seems
to happen to their figures These
are the ones who are only playing
at reducing. The long duration of
their walls, plus the Illustration
hostess experiences anyway when
food she has prepared or planned
is passed by, is real test of
friendship. Nothing bores people
more than diet talk unless they
themselves are also calorie count
ing.
The less said the better Take
some of everything and do not
eat it all but play around with it
unless you are caught redhanded.
Actually, unless you are invited
out great deal you can go over
your daily calorie limit once in
q while without too great a set
back If you are going out for
dinner, drink buttermilk at lunch
con. If you go out for luncheon
drink milk and eat fresh fruit
that night.
I think men love the results of
dieting but hate to hear their
wives talk about it all the time
They like the beautiful results of
beauty care and figure control
but the results lose some Of their
punch if men know all of the
tricks which make you so lovely.

Hundreds of varied and reward

The Importance of the WAC to
the Army in the grave crisis
which our country is facing, can
scarcely be over stressed. Every
one knows that national defense

one can predict how much heav-

are aware that behind the Iron
Curtain are the human resources
of half of Europe and an enor-

We must meet the threat of
raw quantity with quality. Here

ever, young women who are
already in college or plan to enter
after high school are urged not
to enlist until after they have
graduated. The more education a
girl has, the more potential value
she is to her country. The extern

for one reason or another have
been unable to finish their educa-

further.
Through it's career guidance

in the WAC. Women are assigned
only to those fields in which full
advancement from apprenticeship
to top level may be made Any
qualified woman who is willing to
work for it may become either a

Recruits with the required educa-

Insist on Remaining

BY the Assoeioted Press

TEXARKANA. Tex, Feb. 19.-
If people are we'll informed, they
will insist on remaining free. Tur-
ner Catledge, executive managing
editor of the New York Times, told
the 40th annual Texas Associated
Press Managing Editors meeting
here yesterday.
Mr.. Catledge discussed the grow
ing consciousness on the part of
editors and publishers of the
responsibility of the press in free
society.
This bespeaks an awareness
and an alertness which, thank
goodness. have been eccenruated
rather than dulled by artificial
barriers of censorship in Iron
Curtain countries and elsewhere, =
said the New York editor.
Fears Catchword.
"We have heard so much about
freedom of the press in newspaper
meetings over the last few years
that I wonder sometimes whether
we think very deeply about its
meaning.
MY doubts are increased when

It enlisted in the most fantastic
causes, some of which are only
remotely connected with journal
ism or the newspaper business.
OF late, we have been hearing
more about the responsibility of
the press, but I fear that term
too may become a catchword for
convention speeches and n pious
resolutions.
Yet, I know of no adequate
substitutes for these words in dis
cussing the special part which we
in the newspaper profession are
called upon to play in meeting the
challenges now confronting the
free world.
State of Confusion.

q state of uncertainty and confu-
sion. No one knows now exactly
where We are headed and how
we are going to get there; there
even may be serious question as
TO whether or when we arrive.
Under these circumstances, the
reporting and interpreting of cur
rent events call for exercise of
our press freedom tempered by
the highest degree of RESPONSE
bility.
