Paris collections nearly always
are identified by a theme. And q
theme such as Jean Desses' blue
bird and birds profile silhouette
is very handsome indeed. His
entire collection is done in blue
of all hues. All of his models
have a backward thrust and all
soft skirts are worn over stiffened
Ipetticoats.
Speaking of skirts, and these
interest American women most.
Lengths vary, but the short skirt
is not seen. Crinolined skirts
abound. but there is much of the
slim and much of the gently flared
skirt to satisfy those women whose
hips won't allow for the wearing
of wider silhouettes.
Miss Fairall told us that there
is a lot of black being worn for
daywear lot Of green
and great play on lush velvets
and satins for evening wear.

"C'est Paris"-and in that lit
tie phrase is wrapped up much
Of the fashion outlook of the
world.
For it is Paris that always
seems to inject new notes on to
the worlds fashion scene with
such consistency that one can do
nothing but marvel at the creativ-
ity that seems to flourish on the
banks of the Seine season after
season.
At the showing of the French
imports purchased by Miss EliZ-
abeth Fairall for a leading F
street fashion store, we were par
ticularly impressed again by the
fair of the French designers
where evening designs are con-
cerned.
French evening clothes always
spark to imagination. They are
so elegant, so beautiful to gaze
on because of the richness of the
fabric, and so unbelievably fem
inine that American women look
longingly at them even though
they find them a little extreme"
and not too well suited to their
way of life, which calls for much
less formality.
Like Miss Fairall who after some
45-odd years in retailing says that
she still gets excited" over new
fashions, we, too, were excited
over the selections shown to the
press.
She bought heavily from eve
ming selections by DesSeS, Balmain,
Dior, Balenciaga, Schiaparelli and
Faith.
Briefly we note for you just
some of the highlights seen in the
Paris imports which will be copied

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Many women begin to show age
about the eyes long before they
could be classed as middle-aged.
The tissues around our orbs are
so delicate that without real care
this condition is bound to de-
velop. This is even truer If you
have blond or thin skin. The
olive compilations are less suscep-
tible to lines. Therefore from Is
on it is a good idea to use an eye
cream at night.
This cream should be patted
gently over the lids and under
the eyes. Use the third finger
with light tapping motion.
These creams almost completely
disappear into the skin, leaving
only light. slightly sticky feel
ing and a moist look to the lids.
You will not stick to the pillow.
Another factor in the forma-
ton of lines is the habit Of Squint-
ing or grimacing when talking or
laughing. Naturally, you would
not wish to give up the latter but
if you have mannerisms such as
making faces, lifting your nose
and facial muscles, you would be
smart to cut them out.
Eyestrain often causes these
lines, too. For your youthful look
as well as the sake Of your eyes
you must wear glasses when you
need them. Colored eyeglasses 60
long way toward avoiding little
lines about the eyes because we
cannot help squirting when we
are in the bright sun and today's
woman is an outdoor person who
is often in the strong sunlight.

To figures and complexions, is
there any greater menace than the
toted lunch? Since sandwiches
are the mainstay of the lunch box,
their choice is definitely a beauty
problem.
Teens whose schools are not
equipped with cafeterias, working
girls whose Offices and factories
are distant from eating places,
and girls whose budgets need

Welfare Report Favors
Foster Home Care

Recommendation of the use of
foster home care in preference to
institutional care was made yes
terday IN a special report of the
Executive Committee of the Unit
ed Community Services Family
and Child Welfare Section.
AS a result of this recommenda-
ton. the UCS Budget and Execu-
tive Committee decided to limit
1851 Chest support of the present
program of the Washington Home
Tor Foundlings to six months.
The Executive Committee and
the child welfare section also de-
clded not to support the founding
home program in 1852, but this
action will have to be approved by
the UCS Board of Trustees.
The home is the only private
institution giving exclusive care
TO infants and very young children
and has been supported by the
Chest for number of years. UCS
officials pointed out.
The report was compiled after
SIX months study by the special
homeflnding project committee
under Mrs. Harold Bannerman
1t stated further that foster
homes can be developed in the
Washington area in sufficient
supply to meet the need for tenn
porary care of infants"
The report indicated, however
that larger payments to foster
parents may be necessary. The
Board of Public Welfare now paws
$45 a month per baby to foster
parents, and the Children's Pro-
tective Association, Chest agen-
cy, pays $55.
