THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON., D. €. JUNE 2 1929 PART o SPRING REAL BOON T0 DRESS MODELS Mannequins Enjoy Splendid Season, With Shows Aided by Balmy Weather. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 1.—Spring fis hatled as a glorious season by different people for a great variety of reasons. For that regiment of girls who earn, & asprre o earn, tneir livings by the simple expedient of wearing stylish clothes, Spring is a real boon. mannequins, those smartly turn- ed-out women who parade before the clientele of salons and style shows, are enjoytag a splendid season. Numerous shows, balmy Spring weather and a| lively competition are making their | work profitable. Prequent sittings before the camera | add to the income of the lucky few who can secure those assignments. Many Seek Employment. Wearing pretty clothes is a strong lure and every day finds dozens of girls storming the establishments which em- ploy mannequins. Only the New York theater, perhaps, has a wider selection | of pretty girls. | One house, which uses mannequins | extensively, has a list of 600 possibili- ' ties from which to choose. That 600 | does not include the hundreds wro were | ranked as unsuitable. Physical proportion and size are the two great stumbling blocks in the path | of the aspiring mannequin. Require- ments differ among the various houses In some of them all mannequins must be able to wear the same garments. In others a certain type is chosen and a selection of suitable gowns is made up. Ability to wear the season’s creations gracefully and to display_their lines to the fullest advantage is the funda- mental prerequisite. _“Photographing | well” is, of course, the quality that leads to the aristocracy of the profes< sion—the models commissioned to pose for style pictures. | Leaders Are Well Paid. | Admission to this inner circle is most difficult to attain, but is worth waiting for, as the leaders earn in excess of | $250 weekly, Even in the lower grades | the pay is better than that of stenog- raphers and the work is less fatiguing Visions of New York mannequins tend chiefly to the musical shows and the legitimate stage. Joan Clement, Marion ‘Moorehouse, Doris Freeman and Nancy James are a few who have achieved Broadway shows, but continue to dem- onstrate how modish clothes should be | worn. The movies rarely are either the goal or the accomplishment in this little | world of beauty. | Dreams of rich marriages via the| clothes model route sometimes come | true, but not so often as might be be- | lieved. There have been some, the peo- ple who deal much with mannequins tell you, but they have difficulty re- membering names and dates. For the mannequins it is a business, Marjorie Willis, Margaret Shea. Peggy Wehman, Dorothy Smart, Lee Sherman, | Janet Stalling, Sally Grant, Peggy Fish, | Dorothy Flood and the others in that select group. Not a few find that not even faithful exercising and dieting can keep their figures within_the strict requirements of their jobs. They fall out of the pro-| cession. ‘Temperament, those who know them | say, is abundant. A certain midtown street is the deadline, and many of the | best models will not work farther down- town. Poses in underthings and shoe and hosiery assignments are scorned. MEETING TO FORM FARM WOMEN’S BODY National Association Branch to Be| Organized Thursday Night by Miss Ward. A meeting to organize a branch of the Woman's National Farm and Gar- den Association will be held next Thursday at 2:30 o'clock in the club- house of the American Association of University Women, 1634 I street, under auspices of the national association. Miss Florence E. Ward of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, who has charge of extension work in the Eastern States, will preside. Decision to form a Washington-Vir- ginia branch was arrived at by the Na- tional Council of the Farm and Garden Association at a meeting May 10 and Miss Ward, a member of the commit- tee on arrangements. ‘The purposes of the association, as outlined in the by-laws, are “to stim- ulate an interest in and love for coun- try life, to co-operate with Federal and State agencies for the improvement of rural conditions, to assist the women of the farm and the women in the city to a realization of their interdependence and to a better understanding of their mutual and individual problems, to help women through scholarships and ex- pert advice to the best. training in agriculture, horticulture and the related professions, and to develop opportuni- ties for women so trained.” Mrs. Francis King, honorary national president of the association, will speak the meeting Thursday. A luncheon at the University Women's Club wili be followed by the organization meeting. Mrs. Frank S. Seiberling of Akron, Ohlo, national chairman for extension, also is expected to speak.
