Of course, the knack of landing a male is somewhat more com- plicated than that. But designer Edith Head advises that red and purple are colors. which are the. greatest stimulants to romance. “Red denotes a quiet, smolder- ing kind of sex,” she remarked. “Purple is the more explosive, pas- sionate color. Put red and purple together in the same outfit—and watch out!” Miss Head is a petite brunette who leans to softer shades in her own smart attire, Perhaps this is | from the glamor girl she dresses. } At any rate, she is all hepped up }on this color business, and she say it’ based on science, not fancy. “Some of us designers attended a color institute recently,” she ex- plained. “‘We were addressed by a doctor who treats mental patients at veterans hospitals. He told us that colors very definitely play a part in our temperament. He found that his patients reacted vi- olently to certain colors and were soothed by others, “Red and purple incite sex in- stincts. Natural colors—the brown of the earth, grey of stone and green of foliage—are restful to the mind. The depressive colors are dark brown and muddy grey, such as you might find under rocks. “Thus doctors’ waiting roonis are most effective in green or some other restful color. The doc- tor told us never to disregard it when someone says that he or she can’t stand a certain color. That color probably does have a bad reaction on them,” Miss Head is demonstrating these theories in the current color musical, “Red Garters,” (It’s a Western fantasy, not a sequel to “Red Shoes,”) As in conventional melodramas, the villain (Gene Barry) will be dressed in black and the hero (Guy Mitchell) in white, The leading lady, Rosemary Clooney, will ap- Pear in a sexy red, Pat Crowley wears an innocent blue, and Jo- anne Gilbert starts out in black and white. That's because you don’t know whether she’s going to be good or bad. She ends up in the red. The designer has glamorized a large number of female stars, and I asked about their color idiosyn- cracies. Mae West, she recalled, hated green. She not only wouldn't wear it, but didn’t want it in the same room. An indoor girl at heart, I guess. Dotty Lamour is mad for blue. Barbara Stanwyck refused to wear brown, and red is verboten on. Bet- ty Hutton, Jane Russell is a sucker for red and purple, which may par- tially explain her success, '™ find that many of the newer crop of actresses—like Rosemary Clooney, Audrey Hepburn and Jo- canne “Gilbert—are crazy about white,” Miss Head added. “This is probably a trend, but I didn’t know what the explanation is.” What about the men? Seems color psychology should also work for us. But we go on wearing the same drab hues year after year. }So she won’t take thé play away | “Maybe that’s what's wrong with | take theirs out in violence.” THE STRAW DONKEY CASE AP Newsfeatures Chapter 30 Km moved forward, grinning. “Mind if I join you?” “If I have a choice, I do.” “You don't.” Over the lieutenant’s fleshy shoulders, Brindle noticed a uni- formed policeman at the door. Shephard came up and was stopped. Kidd turned and recognized the reporter. “That's what I call a good newspaperman,” he smiled, nodding to his man. “Let him in, Roebuck. Right on the spot when news is being made, eh Shep- hard?” “I try to be,” Shephard replied, puzzled but curious. “What gives, ax?” “Lieutenant Kidd couldn't re- sist the smell of coffee. Sit down, Johnny.” Brindle fixed an extra cup of coffee and handed it to Kidd. He sat down. “I suppose my running out on you is prima facie evi- dence that I’m guilty.” “Guilty of what?” Shephard asked. “Not the murder in your office, Max?” His question was ignored, “See here, Brindle,” Kidd snapped, “T’ve given you a break. Give me one.” “Okay. So you gave me a break. What do “Ne want?” z Kidd leaned dorward. “You know what I want. A conviction. You know more about West. and Durst and the whole crazy set-up than the rest of us.” “How about the case against me?” “Don’t worry about it,” Kidd told him. “Incidentally, Shephard, this is all off the record. You know that” “Tm not even listening.” Brindle filled his lungs and leaned back. | “You win, Lieutenant. But be- fore I open up, I want this clear. I don’t get frozen out of the credit. I engineer the thing from here on in; all you do is make’ the arrests.” Kidd glowered at Brindle. “I'm giving you a break just asking! you to come clean.” By A. S. FLEISCHMAN “You'll get your conviction,” Brindle said. “But I'm not going] j to let you cut me out as soon as I talk.” Kidd breathed angrily. “Okay, Brindle, you're in to the end. The glory’s all yours. Now talk. And it had better be good.” Brindle studied him carefully over his coffee cup. He'd talk—as' little as possible. Kidd was ruth- less enough to do a little double- crossing when the time - came. “You'll want to take notes, John- ny. “Sure thing.” “EJERE it is,” Brindle began. : “Philip Durst has been pos- ing as an oceanographer, pretend- ing to be studying the sea life 1 between here and Ensenda. Actu- ally he’s been using his boat as a deluxe smuggling service. Do; and aliens. What Harry West's function in the ring was I'm not sure yet. “Tonight five wealthy aliens went aboard Durst’s boat at En- senada, headed for the States. And they landed here, regardless of what the Coast Guard found.” He explained to Kidd about the Coast Guard, and went on. “I'm aegis sure I know where we can ay hands on those five aliens and how their disappearance from the boat was accomplished.” Shephard’s eyebrows did a few bumps and grinds. “Then what are we waiting for? Are you com- ing, Lieutenant?” Kidd’s palm beat against the table. “Leave smuggling to the feds! I want to know what you've got on West's murder!” “Come on, Lieutenant,” Shep- hard put in. “Give the guy a chance. Let's run down his hunch and see what it brings. What have you got to lose?” Kidd chewed his lips for a few the order, Brindle led the way flagstone walk. He and turned, “If I run into trouble in- side, I manage to switch on a light.

Re- sort owners are happily anticipat- ing their biggest year. Incomes are higher for many people. Factories are granting longer vacations and more paid holidays. More ‘factory workers than ever will be hitting the road. In some cases factories will be closed for longer periods this year. That will affect industrial produc- tion figures, especially in July. And the steel -industry believes this may give it an assist in catch- ing up on its backlog of orders. But not all of the citizenry is included in this happy vacation prospect. More teachers than usual will be looking for summer jobs. “Industry wili have an added source of manpower this summer | in the thousands of teachers who have long been harassed by in- flation and low salaries,”’ says Ar- civilization,” Miss Head mused. | “Women get rid of their frustra-| thur C. Croft publisher of Teach- er’s Letter, a Washington, D. C., fortnightly. Questioning 25,000 teachers a- round the country, the paper re- ports 59 per cent said they woud work this summer. Of these 18 per cent expect to work in the field of education, others in paid community services, manufactur- ing, clerical work, agriculture, merchandising and selling, sum- mer camps and construction work. Factory workers, however, are fast catching up this year with clerical workers in paid vacation privileges, according to the Nation- al Foremen’s Institute, which keeps an eye on such develop- ments. Collective bargaining this year is breaking through the tra- ditional pattern of “‘one week after one year’s service and two weeks after five,” the institute says.
