So I put it to a half dozen club- ; . wermren attending the 1947 con- vention of ‘the General Federa- tion of Women’s Clubs in New York and the answers popped as fast as popcorn over a fire. This is what they said: Mrs. H. Leslie Howard, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. (silver-haired and. dressed in conservative black and white): “Women won’t stand for ‘leng shirts. An inch longer maybe, but not 11 inches from the floor. They are unbecoming | much ! * freedom either. Shorter skirts are more becoming and = youthful. And when you’re on the wrong side of 40 you want to look as welt-as you can.” Mrs. William Adams, of Phila. delphia, Pa. (who topped her grey hair with a red headband and wore a printed frock): “T} wouldn’t wear them either. It means a whole change of ward- robe, porbably. And there is a _ decided tendency for women to spend less on clothes now. They think prices are too high for the | value received.” Mrs. Luella Laudin, of New York (a dark-haired younger woman in a red and green print ’ frock): “That’s right. Every time "spread: ‘You have to: give *a little help.” I..have admired the clothes women were wearing at this con- vention they told me that they | didn’t buy one new thing for this trip.” Mrs. Sam Rennick, of El Paso, ' white ; and pearls): “I like the longer | Texas (dressed in smart skirts and I’m going to wear /_ them. I’m so tired of the middle aged skirts. I: isn’t necessary to buy a whoie new wardrobe. There are so many peplums and additions to waitlines that ; many skirts can be lowered from the top.” - : Mrs. Laudin: my dresses. New York in a short dress.” Mrs. Arthur Jehli, of Chicago, : Ill. (youthful and pretty grand- ! mother in a blue and pink veil- | ing hat: “I have been through all these phrases before. In my ' scrapbook I have snapshots of myself in all lengths, and ini lots. of different silhouettes and hats. And I have felt good é | every one of them. I think women will probably take to the long skirts. They have done it before—though I laugh at my- |! self when I look at those pic- | tures.” Mrs. John T. Rogers, of Lara- | figure | mie, Wyo. (a monthly dressed in blue with a wide- brimmed hat): “It’s not long «kirts we need. It’s long sleeves. | ‘Why don’t they sleeves?” Mrs. Adams: “I hear they are doing away with such wide ex- aggerated shoulders and making shoulders more natural. I’m cer- tainly glad to hear that.” give us long Mrs. Jehli: “You have to have’ some shoulder “padding, though, ' té” halance’ that ‘middle-aged nature _ Mrs. Rogers: “I don’t like the jidea of that figure eight silhou- ette, though. I couldn’t wear it.” * Mrs. Rennick (dryly): “Neither .could your daughter probably. Young people don’t wear stays now, so they don’t have small waists . .. They say some fur- -riers showed coats with big shawl secollars and sloping shoulders and wraparound lines. I think I should Jjike them. They could be very} elegant.” Mrs. Adams: “I think I should not like them. With those big col- lars, they would probably be very expensive.” Mrs. Rennick: “I’m glad to hear ‘that hats are going to be larger. We have had enough of little hats. They have been on the nose, on the ear, a little ‘happy hooli- gan’ on top of the head, and ’m tired of it.” Mrs. Adams: “Women don’t like hats any more anyway. I just Wear this little band and many other women like the same thing.” - Mrs. Laudin: “One thing I won’t do, and that is wear a cloche, if it’s the last hat left in New York. T’ll go bareheaded first. But don’t make me sound like Carrie Nation, dear.” The earliest type of boat is be- lieved to have been the raft, made of grass, logs of wood, bundles of reeds or other light materials tied together. “Demand for light -metals like- aluminum and magnesium is in- créasing. drastic | (CLASSIFIED ADS Information for the Advertisers RATES -FOR REGULAR -and BLACKFACE TYPE Advertisements under this head twit be inserted in The Citizen at the rate of 2c a word for each in- sertion, but the minimum charge for the first 15 words or less is 30c.
