Experimentation with color
can take years of a woman's
age and will also add much
pleasure to the selection and
use of her wardrobe.
Women are apt to be color
sissies. Many women feel
they can wear only one or
two colors. OF course, 1t is
true that there is usually one
which Is especially fiattering
to each woman but most
women can wear many colors
or q variation Of many.
For instance, there are
many different; children in
the brown family; dark
brown. warm light brown.
beige, tan. mustard and rust.
Some Of these may not suit
you but one or more may be
most fiattering.
There is q terrific range In
the blues and reds and grays.
The yellows range all the
way from the very soft vel
lows to orange.
Black Aging
Black is universally chic
but many authorities land
many psychologists feel that
women wear too much of 1t.
Unless black is worn with a
flair or is dramatized. 1t is
likely to be nondescript or
aging.

~ Mrs. Charlene Vukela whose life story
in a nutshell appears on this page under
the by-line of Mrs. Katherine Cerjanac, a
member of the Society's East Pittsburgh,
Pa, Lodge 736.
A radio personality of long standing,
Mrs. Vukela has now taken to television to
demonstrate the many talents which made
her so outstanding during her World War
II years career with the since then inter-
nationally ., famed Duquesne University.
Tamburitzans of Pittsburgh.
In the eyes of many and they are
legion - Mrs. Vukela is the leading expo
nent of Kolo Dancing on the North Amer
lean Continent and the mother of more
such groups than she can remember.
Certainly no young person has contri-
buted more in recent years to the CFU
cultural scene and sought less publicity in
return than has this charming personality.
Mrs. Vukela, take bow!

That year was also to see the staging in

We, on the other hand, are endeavoring
today to honor them in our own way by
thanking them editorially for their many

Little enough, to be sure.
But it nonetheless comes from the heart
of a grateful Editor and fellow member

BY the time he's 68 years

Unbelievable, you say. Ger
tainly not. It's true in tho

The young man will have
one more and perhaps the
best choice Of all. Instead Of
Withdrawing any cash he may
take a fully paid-up certificate

that for this the parents have

Where else but with. the
