If so, the main trouble may be that you think about it too much, says 6 foot (in heels) Carol Chan- ning, musical comedy star. Carol, who has been exactly the same height ever since she was 16, believes she isan authority on the subject. She advises: ; “Get your height out of ’ your mind, hold your head up and be yourself. If you really want to look smaller than you are, dress BIG.” And this musical comedy star, now in “Wonderful Town” does exactly that—wears big hunks of jewelry, tote-able size pocketbooks, gloves that extend well over the wrist, and similar generously siz-| |< ed accessories. She does this on the theory that ' fool-proof tricks such ‘as horizontal stripes, flat heels and the like just | | make you look more obvious. “And after all,” she says, “the tall lady in the circus looks much taller when placed next to a midget.” Carol recalls that she looked oyergrown as a teen-ager in fussy clothes and still does. So she never wears them.

In my mind, everything I did was weensie. I did a little Charleston, and walked with little tiny steps. Even when the script called for me to growl, I growled a little tiny growl.” As anyone knows, Carol would have been capable of a big roar. But “a tall girl who thinks of her- self as a girl first, and a tall one only incidentally,” Carol points out, “‘can,be as feminine as her 5- foot-1 sister. And as dainty, too. "Thinking small adds immediately | “'t to a girl’s femininity, keeping her from over-strident tones, too-broad gestures and similar bits of mas- culinity many big girls display.” Offstage, of course, Carol finds there is no need for such extremes as far as she is concerned. “I know I'm big,” she says, “and I've leaned to avoid little tiny orna- ments and bows and the like which would make me seem even bigger by comparison. I’ve learned to choose my clothes sensibly so they don’t exaggerate my height. “T don’t let my size influence me any more than that. I,am not dedi- cated to flat heels or suits. I choose my clothes to fit my personality— which I figure is every bit as im- portant as my height. If a girl chooses her clothes just because she thinks she can’t wear any other kind, she’s liable-to look un- happy in them. People will in- stantly noticesher unhappiness and| decide that “it’s a shame that| girl’s so BIG.” If you {look happy all the time whether you'are too little or too| big in your. .own estimation, | people willdecide that you couldn’t | be that happy or that chic unless it was a nice way to be, says Carol, ~AP Newsfeatures Coarsly shred rutabagas and use in a salad.
