'Six-Feet- 1.-TWO, Eyes of Blue =

And don't think that produc-
ton of a tall" dress is a mere
matter of lengthening the hem
line. Each detail must be in pro-
portion-longer waistline, longer
sleeves, wider belt, deeper yoke,
bigger polka dots, buttons or
what have you. Naturally, the
demand must be greater before a
businessman will add all these
extra processes to his production
line.
An eloquent witness for the
tall" case at the meeting was
Barbara Laiton. owner of a shop
called Tall and Tailored" in Bev-
erly Hills, Calf. Said Miss Laiton:
There's no doubt that women
are growing taller, especially in
California. Maybe it's our SUM-
shine, or our salt air, or maybe
the influence of the redwoods.
Anyway, I can't seem to find
enough tall dresses to satisfy the
demand of my customers.
why. 5 feet 81a isn't consid-
cred tall in our shop. They have
to be 6 feet or overland you'd
be surprised how many of them
there are"
Women grow tallest in five
areas of the country. Miss Laiton
has deduced from her mail order
business. These are: California,
the Pacific Northwest, Chicago,
Texas and New England. In the
Evening star., 1952-06-15

case of Texas and California, she
attributes this to the climate and
the accent on outdoor sports. AS
to the other areas, she's at a loss
to explain. All she knows is that
she is getting more and more tall
customers, desperately looking for
clothes to fit. Says she:
Lots Of young girls from 13
to Is years of age come into my
shop. Many are 6 feet 2 and
over, and they're pretty self Icon
scious about it. But after we've
convinced them that they're not
freaks, but merely advance sam
pies of the modern woman, and
they get some clothes made in
the right proportions. they usu-
ally straighten up and begin to
be proud of their height"
OF course, the day Of the aver
age Juno has not quite dawned
as yet. It's just a faint glow on
the horizon, but anthropologists
say it's definitely on the way.
At present. 10 per cent of the
female population of the United
States is still 5 feet and under.
About 8 per cent is 5 feet 81z and
over. This leaves only % per
cent in the size range usually
called average.
It's all quite a headache to the
dress manufacturers and store
executives who are trying to cut
down alteration costs.

Fashion Notes
When you can combine travel ,ly de

When you can combine travel
ing with studying you not only
add to your education, but broaden
your entire scope.
Fashion alone is an exciting
business and when allied fields are
also covered, a fashion tour in
Europe can prove of great value to
the person interested in a fashion
career. or perhaps one who is
already engaged in it and who
wishes to form a better fashion
background.
This is the third consecutive
year that a travel and study Or
ganization is staging a fashion
tour in Europe.
France, England and Italy con-
tribute greatly to the outlook of
fashion here in America. Being
conversant with the fashion in
dustries of those countries helps
to give one a keener insight and
enables one to better understand
the reasons behind their impor-
tance as fashion markets.
Clothing, millinery, shoes, ac-
|cessories, perfume and associated
fields such as textiles, :nerchan-
dising and retailing are specifical-
Evening star., 1952-06-15

ly dealt with during the tour. In
France, England and Italy collec-
tions Of leading designers will be
seen. Visits to outstanding stores
in those countries also include dis
cussions on retailing, merchan-
dising and consumer relations.
Those interested in fashion writ
ing will have the chance to meet
with European publishers and edi-
tors of fashion magazines. Visits
to museums in all countries will
be Importantly stressed.
An outline of the fashion pro-
gram indicates a seminar on the
psychological aspect of clothes, in
cluding lectures on the psychology
of clothes, on taste and fashion,
and feminine attitudes of the 18th
century. Under the heading of
Art in Fashion" will be discus
sions on outstanding character
istics of each fashion period, an
alysis of masterpieces of art for
significance and inspiration to
fashion design.

The dimensions have changed
but the melody is the same and
that may be the hit love song
Of the next generation, say spe-
cialists in the dress business who
have been studying the increas-
ing proportions of American
women.
The race is growing taller, year
by year, generation by generation,
and there's no telling where it
may end.
This was the consensus Of a
group of experts who met recently
to null over the problem of dress
sizes in the modern showroom of
a forward looking manufacturer
named Sylvan Rich, high above
the teeming canyons of New
York's garment center.
In response to growing pressure
from buyers, Rich is adding to
his fall line a specially proper
toned group of dresses sized for
women S feet 81a and over. '"Tall''
shops and tall" departments in
stores around the country brought
him to this decision.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

This month is always thought
Of as the brides month because
1t is a favorite time for weddings.
I am thinking of attributes and
qualifications a young wife should
take into marriage with her.
Number one is good health. If
she has this she will probably be
well balanced emotionally and
have the physical stamina to meet
the strain of the long battle for
success ahead. She will sail
through temporary strains such
as childbirth and the care Of
young children with ease. She
will be able to carry her share
without penalizing her young hus-
band with medical expense.
Next I would say she needs a
sense of humor. 1t is a lot of fun
to live with a gay person and if
the woman in the home has this
quality she smoothes the waters
of hecticnesS which are certain to
rise in daily living. She will make
home a place in which her fam
lily will love to gather. Circum-
stances which would have been
trying will be funny. These al
ways have their humorous side.
What a lucky person the man
who gets her will be
The young wife should be well
informed concerning nutrition
because the health of her family
is literally in her hands. She
should know what the body re-
quires in matters Of food.
Being able to bake a pretty
cake or pie is nice but 1t is not
important. Nutrition is. If she
knows nothing of this when she
enters marriage she should study
it seriously afterwards.
She should have faith in her
husband. Most human beings re-
spond to confidence placed in
them, while jealousy breeds un-
faithfulness. Anyway, there is
nothing more unattractive than a
Jealous woman. She should al
ways remember that one cannot
demand love; one must earn it.
The human heart, even if it,
wishes to, cannot bestow love vol
unfairly. This is matter over
which we have little control, but
we are won, willy-nilly, by the en-
dearing qualities in another.
The young wife should watch
carefully over her figure, her
habits in exercise, posture and
grooming. Many brides gain
many pounds and begin the phys
ical deterioration which will lead
to early aging. even during the
first year of marriage. Just be-
cause you have your man. don't
slump!
Here's to many happy years to
all of the June brides of 1852!

Your
Health
Ry James w. Barton. M. D.

More and more we are learning
that the condition or health of the
body depend greatly upon mental
and emotional health. Thus, anx-
iety can upset stomach and diges-
ton, can cause sleeplessness and
general weakness. On the other
hand, infected teeth, tonsils. gall
bladder, large intestine can cause
mental symptoms, sleepiness and
a don't care" attitude toward life.
It is because it is now recognized
how much the mind can affect the
body that we are hearing and
reading about ''psychosomatic ic'
medicine today. meaning the effect
of the mind and emotions upon
the body. Illness Of the body can
be helped or harmed by the state
of our emotional health. -
In Postgraduate Medicine, DR..
Joost A. M. Meerlo states that
typical psychologist (mental and
emotionaD processes come into
action as soon as a sick human
being consults physician. These
processes are dependent on pre-
arranged expectations on the part
of both doctor and patient. Sci
entif1c expectations, wishes of cure
and unconscious cravings all COM
plicate the doctor-patient rela-
tionship, which influences the
form or method of treatment to be
given"
Many patients. having treated
themselves without success, un-
consciously expect a "cure" when
they consult the physician. The
patient has a feeling of confidence
in the doctor and feels free to tell
the whole story Of his symptoms
and why he is consulting him.
Just as a clergyman listens to
confessions and gives spiritual
help, so the physician listens to
the patient and gives medical or
physical advice. Among the needs
of the patient is getting relief
from anxiety. So often symptoms

In early summer, it is exciting
to be on the lookout for new
dates. different friends, fresh in
terests. The short cut to all these
is through group activities that
can be your open gateway to
vacation fun.
That's what Judy figured. She
moved to another town, too close
to schools closing to get into any
crowd. Until September. little
chance to mix with classmates.
Meanwhile, Judy didn't want to
trust to luck for friendly doings,
plus romance, maybe.
So Judy secuted around her
new home town. Found that she
could take her pick of vacation
recreation. From a variety Of
clubs and classes, sponsored by
civic and church organizations,
that might be yours for the seek
ing in your community, too.
First, Judy asked for some

Judy admitted. I'm not too
date-crazy. But I'm new here
and I want to meet the kind of
boys with whom my family would
allow me to go out"
That's natural" she was as
Sured. $50 many feel that way
that the trend now is to plan
more and more programs that
are suitable for both girls and
boys. Like hiking and outdoor
sport clubs. Glasses in arts and
crafts. Dramatics and. singing.
Strictly social clubs for dancing
and outings. Special events such
as tournaments for which you can
team up and compete after you
all get to know each other"

or diseases break out or are made
worse by the patients continual
anxiety and perhaps feeling of
guilt. The struggle for life with
it's outside dangers and inner anx-
ieties provokes many somatic
(body) symptoms. That is why
the patient doesn't ask only for
pills and injections, but wants to
confess the bad way he has man
aged his life.
Doctors are not competing with
clergymen. The facts confessed
to the doctor are different, con-
cerned with the body.

Tiny Trench Keeps Walk LOOKING Neat
BY Roger c. Whitmon

Question: On each side Of my
cement walk, I cut away the
dirt and grass to keep it trim
looking and neat. This also helps
make grass cutting easier. This
trench is 2 to 3 inches deep. The
practice seems to bother my
neighbors and they all claim that
1t is bad for the sidewalk, instead
Of saying how neat it looks. Does
this really harm the walks? Please
advise me so that my neighbors
and ! can settle this argument.
Answer: If the trench around
the edges of the sidewalk does
not extend below the base Of the
concrete so that water could ac-
Ctitnulate Under it, I see no reason
why such q trench would do any
harm. In fact, the idea Is not
new and I personally think It Isl
good practice, providing the trench
ID not more than 2 inches wide.
