Show "GAY GADGETS" I Associated Newspapers WNTJ Features. By NANCY PEPPER DAFFYXITIONS Oh, Brother! The successor to "It's Murder!' or "Are you Kidding?" Kid-ding?" C to C Cheek to Cheek (applied to dancing, of course. In some crowds only steadies dance C to C). Creamy New adjective for swoony or droolsome. Chamber of Commas English room in school. That's neither Mairzy nor dotes That's neither here nor there. Rough Rider Tough guy. That's Tough Apples That's too bad (an expression denoting sym-! sym-! pathy for somebody's misfortune). ! I'm Humilated The new way to ! say that you're embarrassed (they ! tell us it comes from Margaret O'Brien's movie, "Lost Angel"). GET ON THE BAND WAGON No single fashion trend has gone to your head as strongly as the new flat hair-do with wide ribbon band. And in your own tricky way, you've worked out some cute variations that should be fun for any gal to try out on her own noggin. Here's how you can beat the band. Ear Muffs In Summer Dress Remove Re-move the wooly ear muffs from the metal headband that connects 'em and cover the metal band with ribbon. rib-bon. Clusters of posies at the ends give you ear muffs summer style. Band Singer Your headband is a swoonderful parking space for your favorite crooner's picture. That's the new way of telling people whether you have Frankie or Bing on your mind. Leftover Lure Any yarn left over from that last sweater you knitted for yourself? Just knit up a band, about three inches wide, and tie it in back with narrow ribbon under your hair. They say the "two knit-two purl" technique brings the best results. re-sults. And instead in-stead of making bows with the cot- ton material left over from that new dirndl skirt sew up a band for yourself. your-self. Trim it with little pearl buttons but-tons just for show. School Headliner Combine your school colors in your headband, just the way you used to do with your hair bows. Try twisting or braiding separate ribbons together across the front. VACATION VAGARIES Sail the 7 "Cs" We don't mean the seven seas that "papa" is off to in "Shoo-Shoo Baby." These are the seven "Cs" that have inspired lots of personality and good-grooming clubs for teen-agers. In case you don't guess what they are, we'll list 'em for you. Coiffure, Complexion, Complex-ion, Charm, Condition, Character, Carriage, Care. Why don't you start a "Seven 'Cs' Club" among your own crowd over the summer. It should improve your rating. Wishing Well Books The newest type of book that's being passed around is all about your dearest wishes. Writing your wish down is supposed to make it come true. Don't sign your name and, if the wish is very personal, better print it out so no one will recognize your handwriting. It's fun to look through the book and see if you can guess which wish belongs to whom. Anyway, it's a big improvement over those Slam Books. Old Hats Into New Beanies You had cut off the brim, trimmed up the crown and there you were with a beautiful beanie. But something new has been added in millinery make-overs. Now you convert your old hats (or anybody else's hat that you're lucky enough to get) into a half-hat strictly 1944. Cut off the brim and then fold the crown in the middle and cut it double until it's crescent shape. That, junior, is the beginning of your half hat. Use some of the discarded felt for bows or flowers at either end and attach little grip combs to the inside of each end for anchorage. If it's glamor you're looking for, add a wisp of a veil. |
