have been nosing about in New
York to discover what hair styles
are going to do this fall. Mr.. Jack
that very clever expert at Eddie
SEM Salon, had this to say: ut il
too early to tell yet because, ac-
tually, the milliners call the styles
to q certain extent. A woman
must look at the fall styles in hats
and then plan an individual
hairdo which is becoming to hel
and yet can be worn with the hat
fashions. If she cannot correlate
these, then she should not wear
that sort Of hat.
"Also, during the summer
months women wear their hair in
the most comfortable way. some
have it cut very short, while others
tie it back with a ribbon Then
when fall comes, they begin to
plan a real coiffure."
Mr.. Jack feels that many women
make the mistake of having the
hair arranged for a certain hat
and then taking the hat off. Often
a hairdo which looks well under a
hat is not becoming when the hat
is removed. The way the hair is
combed makes all the difference
When you are not going to wear
a hat, you may need more fullness
and depth at the top. fullness and

Eyes Of Women Abroad on
Interest in Home Contributes to 'One World
By Betty Miles

This is the second OF tpo articles }
Our "One World" dream has
taken a lot of punishment since
Wendell Willkie spelled it out,
and clinging to it has involved
considerable fortitude. Yet ex-
lperts with the Department of
States Office of International In
formation have found that Zone
World" already exists, in a real
sense, among the globes women
their interest in peace and in
home and family is a worldwide
common denomination.
The Communists make q strong
appeal to women of other lands,
depicting us as "sad domestic
slaves" Our information special
lists refute that statement vigor-
ously. emphasizing the free choice
and opportunities open to Ameri-
can women.
Miss Betty Wason, women's
editor for the Voice of America,
visited six countries in Western
Europe last year, talking to
women who represented a cross
section Of society. for the express
purpose Of finding out what they
wanted to know about Americans.
Il discovered that no matter
what kind Of woman was talking
1to-political leader or housewife
all wanted to know how American
women lived in and ran their
homes, and how American tech
niques could be used in their
lives" Miss Wason told us.
They wanted to know about
things like kitchen planning, for
example-not about gadgets, but
how to simplify their work"
The programs beamed to iron
curtain countries have more to do
with principles and less to do with
Tighter matter-these women risk
their lives to listen. The approach
is informal throughout, though.
"Women's World" an English
language program, is a 15-minute
show conducted by Miss Wason.
The material from this show
serves as the basis for regular
women's program in approximate
ly 10 other languages (every Ian
guage desk plans its own shows)
Including French. Italian, Greek,
Austrian, Turkish and Hindi.

becomes a strain on the mother.
If an incloSure can be made in
which he can play safely that is
fine, until he learns to get over
the fence. Some do that very
soon.
One mother made a job OF
teaching her little son to play
inside his property. The first
time he was to play outdoors she
went along and laid a piece OF
rope along the margin of the
grounds and told him he must not
cross it. She took q chair nearby
and if he stepped over it she
called him back, made him look
at the rope, and said: Remember
or go indoors for the rest of the
morning" A few lessons and he
accepted the limitation. Some
thing like that might help.
Taking him along when mar
keting is another task for the
mother of an active runabout
child. He will dart about like a
fish in water. His mother will
have to leave what she is doing
and go after him. One of the
best ways to manage under these
conditions is to harness the
youngster, using knitted lines OF
gay colors He enjoys playing
horse and his mother has him
under her hand.
These little ones need to run,
jump, shout, play hard all day so
as to use up their energy. They
are a task fof their mothers but
the stage soon passes. School
helps, in time. Meanwhile, we
do what we can to keep them
safe, and at the same time save
their mothers strength for the
rest of the chores.
