Campaign for Longer Waistlines in Ready-Made Dresses Might Help Streaks Of Gray Add Age 'A11-White Head of Hairand Young Face Another Story. BY ELSIE PIERCE. SOMmM'E ago we commented on the unmerciful magnifying pow- ers of the sun in revealing skin and hair flaws. The other day this was brought home very clearly. A man was saying about A woman he knew: “I never noticed those gray streaks; but then I guess the mellow lights of & drawing room, theater or restaurant are kinder than the glaring lights of the sun, How aging a few stray gray streaks can be to a woman. They make & man look distinguished, pros- perous—a woman look old. Men don't have to do anything about graying hair * * * but women are fools if they don't.” He was not being unkind, at least he did not mean to be. He was merely speaking the truth as he sees it and it is true that strands of gray can be definitely aging, more so in fact than a head of snow-white hair. One thing is certain, that an all- white head of hair usually sets off a young, clear complexion so that one invariably comes to the conclusion, “prematurely gray, but very youthful in spite of it.” Gray streaks on the other hand dull the eyes, deaden the skin, sharpen the features, give one a general lack-luster look. It is that “resigned” look that says, “I can't conceal the calendar any more.” And it is wrong. It doesn't belong to the modern scheme. It was in order when grandma was a girl, because she hadn't the courage or the scientific ways and means to remedy matters. Tet me tell you a true story as &n Indication of the scientific marvels of our age. About a week or 10 4ays ago we saw a woman at the beach—hair disarranged or rather carelessly arranged (that “I can't help it” resigned look) and streaks of gray giving face and hair a dull, lifeless quality. Several days later at an amateu performance we saw her again . . . only we did not know her, she was a changed person. At the end of the | it across the room between two win= performance several people gathered | around her to tell her how per- | fectly she had played her part. I was introduced, and by way of making | a little conversation other than “You | were splendid,” I said: “You have a | mother, or is it your sister—looks so | much like you, but I don't seem to see her here.” She smiled, explaining that it wasn't another member of her family, but she herself. And when I hastened to explain, “But you look so different— & much lovelier —and younger,” realized I was making matters worse. Later, another friend who knew her well explained, “It's her hair. 8he has a way of letting it go for weeks and weeks—and not until some- thing special is in the wind does | she do something about it. It's a pity. too, because when she has it touched up and arranged becomingly looks some 15 years younger.

POST: Recently Mr. and Mrs. X, who are good friends of my sister (a family of husband and wife and two half-grown chil- dren), moved to this town. I had never met them at my sister's house because our visits were never long enough for her to ask her friends in to meet us. But if possible I would like very much to extend some cour- tesy to these newcomers. The ques- tion is what to do. We have very lim- ited means and our friends are lit- tle better off, and I kelieve my sis- ter's friends are too well off, I'm afraid, to find us, or our group of friends, particularly helpful to them in becoming established in this town. But a5 I do not want to be discour- teous, what would you suggest that I might do? Answer—First of all T think it would be courteous to go to see Mrs. X and if possible you might invite her and her husband to a small cocktail tea and invite a number of friends to meet them. If this is not practi- cal, I would suggest that you ask them and their children to your or- dinary every-day supper, or dinner on Sunday. In other words, make it a family party. In this case, serve as good a meal as you can, and don't worry about what you can't do. If you can't do this either, then merely invite her to “come in for a cup of tea” alone, or perhaps include your one or two most intimate friends who probably know your sister. EAR MRS. POST: My young daughter graduated from high school this year and at the time I hoped to be able to give her a party, but was ill and could not. Since the class wes small and all of them are in town this Summer, she would still like me to give the party. Could we call this a ‘“coming-out” party or would such a party be out of keep- ing with the simplicity of this small community? And since her father and I know many of the teachers we would also like to invite thery and some of our older friends. How may the invitations be worded? Answer—I think the nicest thing to do would be to write “Party for Jane” across your and your hus- band’s double visiting card and then down in the lower corner vTite the time and the day. But if you would like to make the cards seem more formal then write “Miss Jane Jones” underneath your names and write the time and day on the upper part of the card. I wouldn't call the party a “coming-out,” but simply a small party for Jane. ‘he fact that you are inviting people of all ages would mean that you are announcing her coming out, - (Copyrisht, 1937 7T came «© Skatch.

Kings have no gres A perfect bed room is not found, put up with awkward conditions for years. Some of us buy a “set” of furniture for the bed room, corsisting of a bed or two, a dresser, a chest of | drawers and a few other odds and ends thrown in for good measure by | the furniture company. This costs several hundreds of dollars and we | are not all able to afford such an ex- | penditure, But we call on a clever cousin to find that she has used grandmother’s old bed and has dressed it up with | & spread with a ruffled skirt. She | | bought an unpainted dresser, placed dows and made a skirt for it to match the bedspread. An old desk, picked up in a second-hand shop, was painted and decorated to harmonize with the color scheme of the room. One or two painted straight chairs and a deep, restful one with a foot- | stool, completed a room of great charm and comfort, at a cost way below that of a “bed room suite.” Many of us have very strenuous days, and go to our rooms at night, | not caring about anything but sleep. But if you are ever ill or convalescing, you will realize how unpleasant, un- comfortable and inconvenient your | bed room may be. Keep this in mind in planning your room and you will find that it will be as interesting as the rest of the house and a delight- ful place of refuge. ‘The first requisite is a good bed. Put every cent you can afford into the spring and mattress of your bed. You can economize on other things that are not so important. You can do without everything but a bed, if nec- essary. At one time I had a bed room in the Southwest that had only a view, a bed and a fireplace. But the view was of a beautiful canyon that slipped away bluer and bluer for many miles. The bed was beautifully comfortable, and hand- carved in a delightful design, the fireplace was in the corner of the room, raised about a foot from the floor so that I looked into the very heart of the fire. When, a year later, I acquired several pieces of furniture, I enjoyed them—but I could have lived happily forever without them. Place your bed wherever you like it best. Beside it have a table large enough to hold a reading lamp, and a book or two. If the room is large enough, place a chaise longue or sofa where there is a good light, so that you will have a spot to rest and read in by day. At least one deep chair and a light slipper chair are useful. If this is a guest room a small desk is always a joy. The dressing table should be where it gets good light by day. Above the dressing table suspend a bright light in a shallow shade so that you will have full downward light on you as you dress. Most lamps placed on the top of the table cast a light too low to assist in any way other than tp fasten your shoes. Next to the comfort of your bed room should be a well-appointed bath. A large bath room is perfection, but it is much better to have two small ones for the family. When that day comes that each person has her own room and bath even in simple houses, I hope I am here to enjoy it. There are now square tubs in which you sit sideways, sort of “on the bias,” which take up very little space, so that it is possible to have a complete bath in & gpace 4 by 5 feet. The perfect bath might have a tub with shower, a capacious basin with roomy table space for the numerous bottles that are always necessary. A small dress- ing table, a slipper chair and a weight scale, with closets full of towels and a well-stocked medicine cabinet would complete the room. Walls lined with mirrors give a beautiful effect, but they may be marble or tile, glass, paper or paint, according to your wishes and your pocketbook. Some of the new linoleum bath rooms are most attractive. Light- weight linoleum is cemented to the plastered or painted wall. The heavy quality is laid on the floor and where the two join it is trimmed with a rubber strip. The colors are very good, the corners all rounded, which ND So to Bed.” to the quiet seclusion of your own room, let us hope, to a deep, downy bed, with the kind of pillows you like and a A room of your own, planned by you, ater luxury! necessarily, in a large or a wealthy | household. The requirements for true comfort are so simple that we some- | times overlook them and, many times, % — means they may be perfectly cleaned, and, best of all—the workmen come soon after breakfast and complete the job in one day. The cost is about half that of tile and it looks well for many years. If you have a fine old poster bed that has been relegated to the attic because it is so uncomfortable, rest assured that it is still usable, as all the companies who manufacture bed springs now make them adjustable 50 they can be used with slats, or over the side rail. A beautiful old bed fitted with a modern box spring and inner-spring mattress is & joy to be- hold and to sleep in. The little old washstands that were in every bed room 50 years ago may be given a new top, to cover the hole where the wash bowl rested, and serve as bedside table or small desk. Many an old “bureau” becomes a thing of beauty by removing the frame in which the mirror rests and hanging the mirror flat on the wall above the chest. Sometimes if the chest is high, it would better serve as drawer space with books and flowers on the top and a good print or painting hung above it —then the mirror may be used over a mantel or over a draped dressing table. Be careful about discarding your marble-topped Victorian furniture. It has taken its share of decision in the last 30 years and is just about ready to stage a comeback. Some of it is very fine and I am willing to predict that in five years we will be paying more for it than we now do for Pennsylvania pine and New England maple. These last four weeks we have talked about houses in general, how we may get the utmost in jov from our own and what they should mean to us. Now we will talk about particular ones, beginning with the finest examples in this country and their furnishings, and how they may be adapted to Washing- ton living. The china and glass, the old silver and needlework are a true history of the ones that struggled before our time and inspire us to realize that it is only the finest and the best of each era that survives.

Butter o Lower Midriff Section Apt to Be Constricted By Present Standard Loosely Attached Fasteners and Lack of| Shoulder-Strap Loops Other ‘ ’ Grievances. BY BETSY figure. Why? It would seem to me that, to-wear garments that fill our shops, all. don’t seem to suffer from the same complaint. And, although some of the | all-in-one foundation garments have a tough time stretching two ways between shoulder straps and garters with- out bending the wearer into a bow, the majority are as comfort- able and amply cut as a custom- made $50 affair. So, if the rest of the clothing & trade can fit the American figure, why not the dressmakers? Why must we go through life miser- ably tugging down a waistline that binds us through the lower midriff, leaving the skirt to swing from the diaphragm rather than from the hips or normal waistline? Not only is it beastly uncomfortable, but it looks like the very Old Scratch, and, even if | | camouflaged by a wide belt, still re- mains a hidden problem. 1n talking, the other day, to a group of the best-dressed women in Wash- ington—all of whom have plenty of money to _spend on thelr clothes— the complaint seemed to be universal. 1f they wanted a properly fitting dress, they had to go to the most expensive and exclusive New York shops, where models were made with long enough waists, especially for them. The con- venience of being able to ‘“pick up” low-priced little sports and street frocks, to be used “as is” during the hot weather, was simply out of the question to them. They had the cash to procure what they wanted, so they continued to go to their exclusive shops and have their special orders filled. Betsy Caswell o x x ALL very fine for them—but what “ ™ of those of us who can only buy the inexpensive, ready-made frocks? We are left to suffer the miseries of the short waistline, with no hope of any relief. And it seems s0 unneces- sary—for only an inch or so more of material would be needed to make all the difference in the fit and appear- ance of our clothes. The short-waisted Dorothy the frock manufacturers should pull together better. and make life s0 much simpler for us | CASWELL. HE average American woman is possessed of a long-waisted figure. And the average American ready-made dress is possessed of a short-waisted somehow, the feminine physique and The rest of the ready- individuals would not be inconven- ienced, either—for it is an easy enough matter to “take up” a long waist—but well-nigh impossible to lengthen a short one. I think all women should band to- gether to demand longer waistlines in ready-made dresses. That is—normal- ly long waistlines. According to the whim of fashion we will, in the years to come, find our walsts up under our armpits, or around our knees—but while the style books say ‘“normal waistlines” let's see that they are nor- mal. The lower ribs have never been accepted as the true waist, anatom- ically speaking. * X x x AND while we are in the business of yelling for lower and better waistlines—let's do something about the pernicious habit of snaps on plackets of skirts. First of all, they should be alternated with firm hooks and eyes. Second, they should be sewed on with some intelligence and strength; third, they should be set well in, so that the garment does not stretch and strain all down the open- ing Zippers have done much to eliminate placket trouble—but for some fabrics, snaps, hooks and eyes still seem to be best. So let us have them properly attached, by all means. Another feature that should be as much a fundamental part of a ready- made dress as its hem is the shoulder- strap loop. Nothing is more mad- dening than a slipping shoulder strap —nothing is more ungraceful than the plunging gesture to retrieve it. And most of us would certainly be | willing to pay an extra 10 cents for a dress to do away with having to | buy and attach our own shoulder-strap holders. It is time something really was done about these feminine trials and tribulations. And what the buying public demands hard enough and long enough it usually gets—if it sticks to its guns. If we women seriously campaign for longer waistlines, firm fasteners and shoulder-strap loops— some day we will reap our reward Until then we'll have to struggle along with constricted ribs, gaping plackets and slipping straps. And it is such a dismal picture! Dix Says EAR MISS DIX: What chance of happiness is there in a marriage between a sensitive woman and a teasing man? I love him and he loves me, but is that going to make me stop minding his making fun of me? Obviously it isn't going to stop his teasing. Here is the way it goes: We may have been spending & happy evening to- gether. Then suddenly he will snatch a chance remark I make, misconstrue it and tell me what I said. I deny it, and we are off, and the more I make an idiot of myself by getting mad, the funnier he thinks it is. His teas- ing will drive me into saying some- thing that I don’t mean, which he will take very seriously and refuse to forget. I could retaliate and watch him squirm, but I don't want to hurt him. I do not get any pleasure out of seeing that hurt look in his eyes. In- stead, I go to great pains not to wound him, for I know how easily it is done. Why does he delight in wounding me? ROSE. Answer.—He teases you because there is something sadistic in his na- ture that makes him get a kick out of making people suffer. All teasers and practical jokers are cruel. They delight in seeing suffering, and it is pity that they missed their day by not living in the time of the inquisition. They would have had a perfectly grand time watching people writhe on the rack. HERE are plenty of people like your friend who do not think that anything is funny unless it involves inflicting pain upon some one. They lay traps that the unwary stumble into and bark their shins, and they laugh themselves sick when they can throw a banana peeling, so an old man or ‘woman slips on it and breaks a leg. Or they consider it excruciatingly amus- ing to upset an ink bottle over your new sult, or make you sit down on a pie at & picnic, when they know that it takes weeks of saving for you to buy a new garment. Or they do something to put you in an embarraksing position and make you feel like a clown. Their wit consists entirely in saying things that stab to the heart and that leave a wound that never ceases to ache in one's vanity. All of us know men who make their wives the butt of all their jokes and whose funny stories always hinge on some blunder their wives have made and which they magnify and dress up until it makes the wife seem & perfect fool. None of us who have heard these brutes of husbands set a table in a roar by holding up their wives as figures of fun, to be guffawed at until we wondered why the poor persecuted women didn’t retaliate by taking the carving knife to the husbands who were 8o brutally exploiting them. My advice to you is to save your- self a lifetime of misery by refusing to marry a teaser, because if before marriage he gets his amusement by baiting you, it will be his favorite sport indeed after marriage, and he will keep your feelings raw and bleed- ing by his continual jabs at your sensi- tive spot. The only woman for him to marry is one who has a skin like a rhinoceros, off of whom his teasing will roll with- out making a single dent and who will give back stab for stab. For, if you will observe, th¢ people who are most The “Tease” Makes Marriage Unbear- able for the Sensitive Woman. fond of making jokes at other peo- ple’s expense can never take a joke themselves. * ok ok % DEAR MISS DIX: I am a young man and for more than three vears have been going with a lady several years older than myself. At the time I thought I really loved her, but now I know that I do mot care for her, and that there is no future for either one of us. I have tried to break away, but she has threatened to kill me if I do. What would you advise me to do? A. F. Answer—Break away, anyway. Her threats are just a bluff to force you into marrying her. She probably hasn't the slightest intention whatever of doing you any harm. But if you are afraid of the lady, why don't you just fade out of the picture until she has time to get over her peeve gt you and to realize that you can't be coerced into. marrying against your will. There are dozens of trains that leave the city in which you live every day. Just take one of them, and leave no forwarding ad- dress. The greatest harm that any man can do a woman is to marry her when he doesn’t love her, because he can't possibly be a good husband unless he cares for her. He is bound to be miserable if forced into marriage against his will and to take out his spite on his wife. No woman who loved & man or who had any decent feeling of self - respect would force berself on a man. * x x % DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We are two boys who recently have enlisted in the service and under military laws are not eligible for marriage for six years. We are both in love and are at a loss to know if it is fair to ask our girls to walt for us. We have not told them what length of time is needed before marriage is possible. ‘What should we do? H. and J. Answer—You should certainly tell the girls that you can’t marry for six years and leave it up to them as to whether or not they will wait that long. My earnest advice to all four of you is to forget it, because in six years you will have changed com- Dletely and may not want each other. The girls will be almost old maids, and you will be looking out for flap- pers and you may have kept them from making good marriages. ‘Why not leave the matier open?
