The short, plump woman feels that heavy winter clothing only increases her size and she longs for warm weather and its lighter garments because she feels these are more suited to her. On the other hand, tall and slender women feel that the more sombre winter colors and their heavy ma-terials take away color and drama which can be achieved with cloth-ing for other seasons. Perhaps these complaints were once true, but not this season. The new clothes can give you all the color you want, or supply the muted shades which may be preferable. Clothes can give the illusion of if you're on the plump side; or, they can supply a certain b'ulki-nes- s with their texture, but not their weight, if this is what you look for in them. Those with soft rounded contours about the face and neck will wel-come the bared shoulder look which is so pleasing and flattering to them. Those with sharper lines will be pleased with the high necklines which so many dresses and suits feature. After you've studied your individ-ual problems and then the available styles, you can easily choose the most flattering costumes. Don't yearn to look like something other than your type if you want to avoid the pitfalls of poor taste. When you fit your style to clothing which ac-cents your best features, you will be that the old ooat needs fur added to it to restyle properly, but this is not such a big investment once you think about the pleasing wear you'll get. Brown, black or gray furs will go well with any of the colors of the season, and the choice of fur depends on how each looks against the skin. Try all types within your budget on before trying to make a choice. It isn't necessary to pick a black fur coat simply because most of your dresses and suits are black. Black and brown are a smart com-bination this season. Since gray is neutral, it will go with either black or brown, and will still be good with deep red, navy, green or orange, some of the high fashion colors of the season. Generally speaking, the flat furs are good for those who are plump, while the long-haire- d furs are more becoming on those who can carry additional weight in clothing. Care should be taken in observing these rules, since sometimes a flat fur will appear too harsh, and you may need a different type to give the necessary softness to the fea-tures. Observe Rules in Choice Of Snow Apparel Teen-ager- s will be particularly interested in picking snow apparel suitable to their types,, especially those who are clothes conscious. Since few of the girls have a knowl-edge of the basic rules which should be applied in selecting snow suits and heavier clothing, mother can be of real help. For the girl who has sprung like a weed, and has not yet filled out, choose a snow suit with plain pants an a bold plaid top. This cuts height, and makes a dashing cos-tume which will please her. The plaid top has the additional advantage of adding weight to her figure. For the girl who is conscious of her plumpness as well as lack of inches, a plain dark suit with no contrast is the order. Piping may add a note of color to collar, cuffs and front opening, as this will in no way cut height. Tall girls can choose bold jackets for casual wear and outings, but the shorter girls would do better to stay with carefully fitted casual coats which are not too full. If they do insist on a jacket, see that it is chosen to go with clothes that do not contrast too highly with it. Accessories Can Minimize Figure Faults If you have some feature you want to minimize, then proper accessory choice will do the job for you. The woman who is conscious of large feet, for example, can dress them carefully so footwear colors match as nearly aj possible her' dress or suit, and in this way the feet will pass unnoticed. All points you want to emphasize may be done with accessories, too. If you have neat ankles, then the strapped shoes with sheer hose are for you. If you have lovely, ex-pressive hands, then choose gloves and purse that are dramatic. When a fabric like black vel-veteen Is used in a dress, deco-rative effects aTe kept very sim-ple. Simplicity and beauty of line are illustrated in this style with the perky stand-u- p collar, deep armholes and parade of self buttons down the front. Simple pumps are featured with - the dress. er or a modified cloak, possibly with Spanish accents which are new on the fashion horizon. The brief and casual coats made frankly to simulate furs will be acceptable to both tall and short, in their own individual styles. If you're taller than average, the best choice would be a rather short coat which will cut your height. If you're short and somewhat plump, it's best to select a longer coat, and thus make the most of what height you have. Remodeling of Furs Pays Dividends Many women tire of their fur coats after several years, but if the fur chosen was carefully select-ed to suit the wearer, then it's only the style of the coat which has grown tiresome. You don't get tired of colors or textures, if they are flattering to you! Furs can be restyled once they're outmoded, and when expertly done, anyone would think you really came along with a new coat. Check into the possibilities of this way of hav-- Let personality, figure .... then have achieved the peak of cor-rect dress. Few women can wear all the dif-ferent styles of clothing which are being featured. That's why there are so many diverse kinds. They're there for individual types so that each can look her nicest. Select Coat to Fit Figure and Wardrobe Since the winter coat represents a substantial investment in the' wardrobe, do choose one which will keep you well clothed for two or three years. The coat should be one which makes you happy in wearing it, for it is one item in the closet which will be called on to give a lot of service. This year coats will look bulky, but this is an optical illusion since the coats are really light in weight. They're soft and easy to wear and will give warmth to those who feel they need an extra measure of that. For the tall girl who wants to wear something really dramatic, nothing could be better chosen than these soft, fleecy, but easy to carry casual coats. She is the -- one who can stand a bit of extra bulk and body in coat material, and they're made for her. Shorter women can choose some-thing equally warm, but will pre-fer a more sleek, and at the same time more feminine style in a reef- - , r govern clothes selection. ing a coat before discarding an old one. Most of the fur coats whether long or short are now made full both in skirt and sleeves, though the latter are gathered at the cuff with a fur piece, in many cases.

PINKHAM'S 4 Mvv KATHLEEN NORRIS Plan, But Plan Where You Are 11 JJLL I WANT is a fresh start," says a letter from Vera, wife of Bill Taylor of Akron, Ohio. "Everything's gone wrong with us," she goes on, "and somehow we can't think how to get it straight. I am 29, Bill 30; we truly love each other, we don't want a divorce. But for two years since my mother died it's been nothing but bad luck, being sorry for each other, and being caught in a groove. We have two children Tony, who is 6 and Buttercup, 4. "A confused day like this," con-tinues this discouraged woman, "I feel I have nothing to show for eight years of marriage. My dan-cing figure, my once pretty hair, my clothes, blankets, curtains, house and farm all a mess! My fa-ther and mother lived with us, both invalids, and Bill was wonderful to them, until Dad died in '47 and Mother the next year. They left us hospital and doctor bills of more than $4,000. Bill's salary is $4,800 when taxes are paid, and of that we pay $200 a month or a little more on. the bills. Managing on what's left leaves me no room for anything pretty or easy. Now Tony has an eye trouble that will take years to cure; it means clinic visits and doctors, and, of course, anxious strain. Wants New Start "So I want a new start. I want to go back to my old office job, board the children with some good wom-an, see them week ends, and find a room where Bill and I can live for a year or two. Finding an apart-ment is out of the question. I want to wear smart shirtwaists again, and go to a show now and then. I want someday to start housekeeping But naturally, with a shabby house, piled-u- p debt, anxiety about Tony, and a wood stove, you've been beaten down, and you don't see things as they are. At 29 you still can use a year or two in readjust-ment, and discover that the dancing figure, the pretty clothes, the wash-ing machine and the new stove can all be attained, and undrjeamed of fun and achievement beyond that. To pay off $200 a month on a debt is magnificent, and even in your discouragement you must see that that's going to clear off the four thousand in less than two years. Congratulations on your courage on that point. Then I wouldn't let 42 acres lie idle. If Bill doesn't want to turn farmer, why, there are many couples in our country now, men and women trained for farm work in Europe, longing for a chance like the one you could give them, to re-trieve that farm. Government will help them there, and help you, and who knows but when the man is farming the woman could some-times help you indoors? You may be pretty sure she is used to a wood stove, and thankful to God when she can get wood for it For the anxiety over Tony's eyes I have no cure, except to say that thousands of small children go through that now, and Instead of growing up half blind or squinting or cross-eye- d as the earlier genera-tions did, they actually get cured. A nephew that I love had what looked like hopelessly bad eyes, at eight, had two operations, inany years of weaker and weaker glasses, and now uses no glasses at all and hasn't for years. Plan of course, Vera. But plan with what you've got, not with what you haven't got. ". , . hasn't been farmed . . ." with a refrigerator, new linoleum, a gas stove I feel as if I had to get out or go crazy. The place hasn't been farmed since Bill's father stopped work 10 years ago. Just the sight of these run-dow- n barns and sheds and orchards makes me sick. "Last year you wrote an article," Vera's letter concludes, "advising all of us who find ourselves bogged down, to make a plan. To look be-yond the present, and spread imag-inary wings, and lift ourselves on a plan. Well, this is mine. Can you help me talk Bill over to it?" Vera, I'm all for a plan for you. But not your plan. Your plan al-ready is clearly indicated; it was outlined when you married a coun-try boy and went out to live on a small farm. You've let the farm, the children, your marriage, and everything else go to seed, and a completely new plan, splitting your family into pieces and practically abandoning the children, wouldn't work at all. Wonderful Record You say you've nothing to show for eight years; you've everything to show. And with some realistic planning you can have a lot more. Raising two children, caring for two dependent old persons, being nice to them that's a wonderful record. ONCE OVER . 11 Birfliday Cake Bitter to Cynics I By H. I. PHILLIPS BABY, you "ain't poifect," but pretty wonderful. You have much to learn, but you're learning fast. You look bad at times but, after all, you're en-gaged in something more important than a beauty contest. You fumble the ball, bunt when you should slug, forget to touch sec-ond and try to steal third with the bases full, but the errors are all excusable because you are in the "epic contest," the "world classic," the toughest and most important battle in history. Even on your off days you hold the world's brightest promise. . Five years old! But in yon are the yearnings of 2,000 years, the echo of the Sermon on the Mount, the pray-ers of mothers over their sons down through the centuries. You're a kid In years, but through you the world may find the wisdom of the prophets, the longing of the patriarchs, the sagacity of the wise men and the fortitude of the martyrs. Yes, babe, you're sneered at and belittled by the cynics, but you will- live to make them "eat crow" and to repeat one day the words "You believe because you have seen; blessed are those who believe, yet have not seen." Yu haven't been able to end double talk, give the slicker the works or eliminate the gas man in international huddles, but you are making swell strides in that general direction. You still endure bores and long-wind-diplomats too patiently, pro-ceed too timidly on occasions and take too long to reach decisions now and then, but are entitled to demand, "What do you expect of a Miracles?" Let the critics scoff; you have the prayers of families in every land on earth. The guidance of Providence is asked for you in straw hut, igloo, cave, dugout, trench, shanty, bungalow, tenement, cabin and castle. At your best you lift our spirits, stir our hearts, make our blood tingle and make us want to dance in the streets, sing in the shops and give thanks at the nearest altar. In the moments of snafu you make visible the goal posts and you keep them from being moved all over the lot. You've tagged the tyrants, the dictators, the foul balls, the ag-gressors and the double-dealer-and labelled them to a You're making goose grease, ma-lark-and banana oil scarcer, and over the seats of the international delicatessen dealers you have raised in neon lights, "No matter how you slice it, it is still balony."

Lady 'Civilian Recruiter' Offers Job With Travel NEW YORK, N. Y. Anybody want to be a plumber in Alaska or a refrigeration mechanic in Tripoli, or a stenographer in Saudi Arabia? Blanche Kranz, who's never been to any of these places herself, wishes more people would develop a wanderlust. She's supposed to re-cruit civilian personnel for civil service overseas assignments with the United States air force, and business, at the moment, is lagging. "We had 364 vacancies last week, compared to an average 60 vacan-cies a week in July," she said, wist-ful, eyeing the door to watch for any applicants. "Where there are military there should be civilians." Europe is the most popular spot with the applicants. Guam, said Miss Kranz, is at the bottom of the list. "Two different women I inter-viewed yesterday said they wanted to go to Europe so they could see Paris," she said. "Then I had a let-ter from a girl we had just sent to Alaska and she said the sunsets were the most beautiful she'd ever seen. So you see once you get them there they often like it. Miss Kranz, who is an attractive brunet with a streak of gray in her hair, was frankly amazed at one man who requested a job as a me-chanic in Saudi Arabia. "It gets up to 150 degrees over there," she said. "But he'd been there before and wanted to go back-- " |
