He told about a young wo-
man he knew who had had an
operation for bowlegs (not
badly bowed either). This girl,
he added, was a bore with her
lamentations and self-con-
seriousness about her legs be-
fore her operation. Afterward
she thought that it had been
well worth while but could not
understand why it did't make
a. bigger difference in peoples
reaction to her.
Robert Weede said, THE
truth was she was always more
aware of her bowlegs than
others, and SO. naturally, she
was more aware of their
straightnesS after the opera
tion than others. She would
have done better if she had in
vited peoples interest in her
as a person. by being more in
terested in them than in her
self and her imperfections."
If some imperfection is
bothering you and you can do
something about it, if it is
really bad enough to be worth
the trouble. then remedy it. If
it cannot be corrected for
heavens sake don't let it ruin
your life! Life is too wonder
fui to be spoiled by physical
defects.

BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

During a conversation with
Robert Weede, the great BARI
tone, now star of the Broad
way hit, THE Most Happy
F'ella,' some interesting sub
jects were discussed.
Among them was the idea
that while it is important to
correct what physical defects
we may have, it is much more
important to perfect our per-
sonality, to be warm and in
terested and enthusiastic, that
good looks is only a small part
of attractiveness. When Mr..
Weede was asked how he eX-
plains the fact that so many
handsome men marry plain
women and that so many beau
tiful women marry men who
are far from handsome, he re-
piled:
Lots Of reasons, but one
may be that people who have
looks themselves are often in
secure for other reasons. They
deprecate what they have and
greatly admire other things;
strength. intellect, accomplish
ment or what not. So they
seek a mate who has important
qualities beside beauty or good
looks" I am sure that this is
very true.
He and I also agree that it
Is such a waste of life and so
sad when folks. allow physical
defects to rob them of the adj
venture and happiness of liv-
ing, and that most often the
defects which do this to them
are barely noticeable to others.

There's something about a
back-to-college fashion show
that brings out a crowd.
Capacity crowds have filled
the largest hotel bathrooms
these past weeks. Last night
it was standing room only for
the 1900 present (many years
past college age but still with
the old college Spirit) who
filled the Presidential Ball.

Campus Capers."
The fashion show of college
clothes ran the gamut from
dormitory PJ's to evening
gowns destined to make every
girl a belle of college ball.

by showing up in the once

Scene StealerS
But the scene stealers at
the show weren't even runway
participants. They were three
young men who, when the
show opened, were sitting on
the bleachers wearing duff1e
coats of red wool and of poplin.
Not to be outdone, fashion,
ably speaking, one of the mod
els in the show modelled a
feminine version of the duffie
coat that came complete with
a dark printed blouse that
matched the quilted cotton
lining. These, Fashion Com
