A. Eureka is from the Greek
heureka, II have found it,"
There is an interesting story be-
hind this word, and I'm glad you
asked me to tell it.
The story goes that Hero, King
of Syracuse Gin Sicily, suspected
a gold crown made for him by one
of his smiths of actually contain
ing an alloy Of silver. Whereupon
he consulted the celebrated Greek
philosopher and mathematician,
Arcnimedes (about 287-212 B.C).
ArchimedeS pondered over the mat
ter night and day, How was the
fraud, If any, to be detected?"
Well-nigh hopeless of arriving
at a solution, he one day stepped
into his bath, which was full to the
point of overflowing. 1t occurred
to him that the exact amount of
water which overflowed would equal
in volume to the size of his body
Why, then, could not the purity OF
crown be tested in the same way?
If the crown were put into a vessel
full of water, and a piece of gold
weighing exactly the same as the
crown were put into another vessel
also full, then, if the crown were
pure the overflows should weigh
exactly the same.

DON'T Be A SHEEP
by Raymond Barhas

TNERE is no greater service
Il you can give others than
to be yourself. When you're
at ease with yourself. you help
to make Others feel comfort
able, too - they know what
to expect from you.
A woman who is dressed in
a manner which does not suit
her personality or figure is
rarely at ease. My answer to
Evening star., 1951-10-14

this is: don't be slave to fashion.
This may sound odd coming from someone con-
nected with Paris fashions, but in my experience
have discovered that the truly smartly groomed
women are those who are not sheep they choose
clothes becoming to them and adapt or modify
current style trends to suit themselves
For instance, women who have large hips should
modify the current trend toward padded hiplines
and very full skirts.
Those who look and feel best in tailored clothes
should not wear lot of frills, if they la
mode at the moment.
Real chic demands that you look natural, act
natural and wear your clothes as if you were accus-
toned to them.
Chic is, then, a state of mind. The woman who
is fashion faddst will attain it. because she
is so busy trying to adjust herself to every new style
impulse that she becomes ''clotheshorse. con-
scous only of her dress and not of herself.
Clothes not supposed to cause sensation, but
to create an atmosphere of assurance and charm for
the wearer an accent to her personality. If the
costume attracts more attention than its wearer,
it has lost it's purpose. Fashion then is not serv-
ing you. but ensaving you
