and then when I get really angry
about something like reckless
drivers or war or cruelty.
Besides, are gadflies happy?
On this point I consulted my
friend Bernice Fitz-Gibbon, bril-
liant advertising woman who
fairly recently has been in the
headlines at least three times for
sounding off about this and that.
At the Rayon Institute of the
Home Fashions League OF Amer
lea, Miss F. declared, THE
pathetic truth is that most
American women who are sure
that they have created tasteful
interiors are really living in
shudderingly bad homes-real
Houses Horrible"
She mentioned specifically
such details as walls and up
holstery of muddy oatmeal" "a
color selected. she supposes, be-
cause it won't show dirt and
which lives up to its promise
because it looks dirty to begin
With; nasty door chimes; pic
lures hung so high that three
quarters of them can be seen
only by mounting stepladders
which, Miss Fitz-Gibbon added,
is just as well because they
aren't worth looking at anyway.
In short. she concluded that
allowing a housewife to choose
her furniture is as hazardous as
letting a patient pick his opera
ton. Altogether, she made a
witty, infuriating speech and
naturally it was debated and
attacked.
A while before. Miss Fitz-Gib-
bon had aroused the television
networks with her declaration
that newspapers were the only
media for department store ad-
vertising. She pointed out that
women buy newspapers, first for
news, second for advertisements.
whereas on TV "the commercial
is the grim penalty one pays to
see Lucy"
Earlier still, speaking to a
career clinic, Gadfly Fitz-Gibbon
took up the subject of equipping
girls for life. Give them a good
course in tipping but leave of
the shorthand, she advised. for
they will be able to compose
far better letters than the top
brass they work for, mainly
gentlemen wrapped in oratori-
cal togas, holding forth with
stuffy and pompous pronounce

Why Grow Old
Girls Height
Can Be Asset
BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

! always get a kick out OF writ
ing columns which know will
help a lot of women, not only to
more physical attractiveness but
also to more happiness. With
this in mind I am giving three
days this week to the tall gal.
If you read yesterdays column
you will know how much above
average-height can affect a
woman, even though it shouldn't.
You Stratoliners fell into luck
when interviewed Sylvia, of Tall
Wear. not long ago in New York.
This interview was particularly
gratifying to me because it
proved a couple of things I be-
lieve. In the first place, most
successful businesses are success
full because they fill a real need.
In the second place, the Original
tor of such a business often starts
it because of a need she herself
had.
STUNNING LOOKING
Sylvia herself is a tall and ex-
tremely stunning looking woman.
Her career is an outgrowth of
her own experiences and frustra-
tons and problems. Sylvia. who
was S feet 9 when she was Is
said. IF a girl or woman is tall
she might as well face the fact
that she will be noticed when
she enters a room. BUT this
should be an asset rather than a
handicap. and it will be if she
will stand tall and act tall.
1.-THE tall woman is the darling
of fashion. She can wear high
fashion clothes which her shorter
sisters cannot get away with. "
Years ago. from her own ex-
perience, this woman learned
that clothes for tall women must
take into consideration the meas
urement from the shoulders to
the waist. Believe it or not. there
are many short wasted tails, and
they do have a problem.
Sylvia started her first shop on
a borrowed shoestring. and paid
back within the first year. She
now has three shops and more
than 10000 women over the
country on her mailing list.
FILE
Tall women are measured when
they come to her and from then
on a file is kept for each indi-
vidual. She classes tall women
into three groups:
The short TAILS feet 7 to 9
inches.
The medium tails feet 9 to
II inches.
The tall tall-from feet II to
6 feet 2 inches.
When tall women come droop-
ing in, she calls them her D. rs
Or dropping tails.
