What They Will Do | the Profi-eers {Wear Your Old Clothes Clubs” Can Become as Powerful * as the Famed Lilliputians. | By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Copyright, 1990, by The Prec Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World) O you remember what happened to Gulliver in the land of the Lilttpatians? They were tiny creatures, less than six inches tall. He was a stalwart Eng- lish eailor. And yet they made bim ab- solutely hetpless— Decause all worked 3 together and each 4 én tled down to a peg in the ground one ‘of Gulliver's fingers, or'toes or hairs, WANTED — American men and ‘women, with the courage and the sroup loyalty of Lilliputians, to tackle OUR gigantic Gulliver, the swollen American clothes profiteer. WANTED— American men and women who will form “Wear Your Old Clothes Clubs” and thus reduce to émpotence the profiteer who would soll could we—what can we—do to th food profitesrs? Unlike the squirrels, we bave no hoards of food from yes- teryear, We must pay—or starve. But how many men and women in New York actually NEED to buy new clothes this spring? How many are merely conforming to habit tn pur- chasing new outfits? How many men could not have last years suit itt™ How many women could not go through their closets, and—by combining the trimming fromvone hat and the shape of another, by putting & new belt over the worn plece in last year’s coat, by cleanihgor dye- thg lousee—“reconstruct” a ward- robe which would jake them through the season without paying $75 or $100 for a sult worth $35; $15 for a ahirt- waist worth $57 Bven stockings can be “made over” AMERICANS SHOULD TREAT THE CLOTHES PROF} TEER. AS THE LILLIPUTIANS TREATED GULLIVERL, | hoes, suits, dresses, hats at a price far beyond their real value and at a ‘profit of umpty-steen per cent, for himself, as shown by The Evening World articles on profiteering. It ion't any one man or woman who can bring clothes prices back to nor- mal. Ho or she is as helpless to con- trol the clothes profiteer as one Lilll- putian would have been to tie up Gulliver, But, if American families would ‘unite in refusing to buy new clothes at the present outrageous prices— tf we would thus reduce consumption instead of diverting it into other channels, after the manner of the “Overall Clubs” and “Gingham Clube” we would bind the clothes profiteer herd and fast. With him we have a chance. Un- ti the rent laws passed, what could wo do to our landlord? Certainly we couldn't camp on the sidewalk indef- initely because we didn’t wish to pay his latest increase in rent. What —new feet sewn on old legs—and with high boots no one knows the differ- ence, During the last year the clothing Profiteer simply has capitalized the vanity and moral cowardice of the average American, who is afraid to look even a clerk in the eye and con- fess he cannot afford to pay current prices, who is afraid to appear any- thing less than “the glass of fashion and the mould of form,” who is afraid to economize where it can be seen. Yet a patch is really a Distinguished Service Medal in the war against the H.

The woman around forty should avoid the extremes in all dressing, particu- - Wee “ML el ey just because the young girls are wearing theirs combed straight back from the forehead and puffed ou sometimes to a ridioulous point, over the ears, is no reason why this style should be copied by older women. It takes not only a youthful face full of color and free from ine lines, but also a very beautiful face to dress the hair severely back off the forehead and face, and very few can wear this style to advantage. ‘The middle-aged woman should wear her hair slightly waved, and the | q tight, woolly manner in whieh some | women wear theirs is most trying to the aging face. A cufling tron, when used just warm enough to shape the wave, reaily makes a much better and more lasting one than papers or kids, und when you once learn to handle the iron and the.strands you will be able to make “almost a pertect “marcel” wave without the flat, fixed \ppearance of the professionally donc Take small strands of hair and one, do not twist them bofore placing over | Neat the iron, Roll backward always t wet the waves even and matched, I consider the “Casque” dressing the very best one at this time forJejght hours if necessary or until de-|body said, ‘If wo didn't graying or white hair, and it is not dificult to do, and may be worn with or without the large comb, as desired.

Then tie the back part with a black tape close to the crown of the head, but not too high. BDiderly women should always wear rather high hair cressing.

Next divide the front porlioh in middle or left side, as has been your custom (side 1s best for “Casque” dressing) and wave, Next comb out the wave on left side, brush with a soft brush, rough ever so slightly on under side, and afte roiling the foundation part in @ tight knot and*pinning securely to the head, fasten this left curled ‘t under the knot on the left side. iow brush and rough the larger or jrisht side waved strands and bring them around with a long sweep and over the foundation knot, smoothly and evenly clear over to the left side and pin the ends under on left side with the left side ends. This dressing is not difficult to learn, and does not require a large amount of hair. » However, if the hair is thin a smal) rat or switch may be pinned in place of the foundation hair, and all of your own hair may be used for the waved sides. Finish by covering with net. I will be very glad to answer other letters and outline suitable hair dressings for all ages and occasions.
