THE WOMAN’S DAY 'By Allene Sumner
THE LUCKY SEXTET Six of America’s most beautiful girls are being sought by Jean Patou, famous Parisian designer, to act as models ip his Rue de la Paix shop this year. He has sent an emissary to America, a recognized authority on maidenly beauty, to find the six who can make every old dowager think that she will look just as alluring in the gowns which they will wear. Patou insists that he does not want flappers, “but typical American girls.” That distinction should be encouraging to those who have feared the worst. She must be tall, blond, slender, athletic, between 20 and 25 years old, and “very feminine.” The old old ideals of the maiden beautiful seem to persist through the ages! OLD STANDBY!
If you are just “a poor working girl” who believes that no dress so fits the wardrobe bill as a a good pmottoal navy blue crepe, ready and willing, you may be interested to know that all the swanky ladies on the Cote d’Azur are touching up their navy frocks with flecks of violet in the way of shoulder flowers, beads, handkerchiefs, or cuff and collar^sets. “CAN’T BE DONE, DEAR” When Daddy phones that he “can't be home for dinner, as he has a deal to put through,” he is probably telling the truth, and really is continuing to work right through the evening wh|p he would much prefer to go home, dissertates a male in a current magazine. He warns wives that if they would quit nagging about “night, work” and wondering why their husbands can’t be home to wipe dishes, or mind the children, their own days of drudgery might be over sooner, as it is the "night work” with its social business contacts that brings in the lucre. Sounds reasonable at that! SHE DIDN’T HAVE “IT” “No woman is really afraid of old age until she can no longer honestly complain that she is constantly insulted by strange men.” This is an old old bit of sophistication, saying more or less smartly that the worst evil which can befall any woman is to be found unattractive. Mrs. Cora Dori&n of Brooklyn demonstrated this to a T in open court the other day. The lady faced charges preferred by her husband of misconduct. “Ridiculous!” said Mrs. Dorian. "Look at me—fat and short and near-sighted. Do I look as if I would have much chance at ‘misconduct?’ ’’ The jury acquitted her after short deliberation and Mrs. Dorian broke into wild sobbing—which every woman can well understand. COAL STOVE FOLKS We’re only “coal stove folks” after all. We hear so much about America, land of luxuries and conveniences that common folks in the Old World never dream of, that we Just naturally take it for granted that the entire population lives with bath tubs, electric lights, furnaces and vacuum cleaners, to say nothing of electric fans, toasters and percolators. OLD ROUND OAKS But a recent survey says that even today the coal or wood stove Is used in the great majority of homes in this country. Then they sigh. But why? After all, most of us spent our youth around wood or coal stoves and look back upon those days as about the happiest of our lives. After all, was it much harder work to build stove fires than furnace ftres, and after all, is a furnace with its attendant radiators or registers much more of a thing of beauty than a stove?

living room because their artistic instincts prefer it to the register. We can’t all own tiled stoves or those of other lands which, are accepted as beautiful because of their source, but we can all free ourselves from preconceived opinions of what we must have because the other thing “isn’t had,” and “isn’t being done this year.”

Expert Says Bright Clothes Give Dash and Courage and Needed Charm. POSE LENDS TO POISE If in Doubt, Wear Henna, Says Club Leader. Ru XFA Nervier NEW YORK, Dec. 29. —''When in doubt, wear henna. When a big deal hangs in the balance, put on that brick red dress and walk into the conference like a crown princess. “If you would succeed In business, do not dress like a business woman. Seek the greatest possible illusion of luxury, however thin your purse may be. Lisle hose may be respectable enough, but they don’t put over the big business deal.” These aro sage words from Florenco Holmes Stone, whose own brilliant career lends weight to her clothes counsel. She is financial secretary of the Southern Pine Association and treasurer of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. She Gives Advice to Experts Her work entails the handling of millions of dollars and the keeping of voluminous records for every branch of the pine industry in the Southern States. She addresses large gatherings of men in many cities, and Is credited with having caused the abolition of the capital stock tax on pine, by her convincing arguments before the Federal tax commission. Male experts from all parts of the country seek her advice and defer to her. And she says she always has bet ter business luck when she Is wearing red. In her wardrobe trunk that goes about the country with her are half a dozen red dresses, in various shades. “Red, scarlet, henna, wine—they all give courage and dash. That’s what business women need —not lisle hose .and navy blue suits and a meek and modes air, but swashbuckling clothes, confidence in themselves, and enough tact to know when to treat a business associate like a human being instead of a wooden Indian.” “Make ’Em Like You!” Men don’t like business woman, unless she forces them to, Mrs. Stone believes. “There is still the old jealous resentment against women as usurpers. Then too, men have an instinctive feeling that the business woman is an unnatural phenomenon -—which, of course, she is. “They expect softness and sympathy and beauty from women, and the too earnest business woman gives them none of these. “I don't mean, of course, that women in business, should use sex as a lure. But surely feminine charm can legitimately make a woman a pleasant business as well as a social companion. “Color and line are the first considerations in business clothes. Simplicity of line attracts men, and warmth of color Interests them. "If you expect to have to stand before an audience of men, watch your hemline, and your hose and shoes. Dresses and jewels are most
You Must Protect Skin Winter Loves to Touch
By Ninon That roseleaf skin with the peaches and cream color scheme Is more easily accomplished In winter than in summer. And, fortunately, the upkeep is much lower. You can just pack away your rouge and lipstick with your organdie frocks and get your carmine tints free with the compliments of the season. You have nothing to fear from wind or snow, if you give yourself slight care, and have much to gain in clearness, vividness and that blowing, vibrant color that is so m.uring. Naturally you must avoid chapping, but that is very easy to do. You need only understand why your skin chaps and then act accordingly. Chapping is the result of exposing a damp skin to wind and cold. That Sandpaper Surface For instance, if you wash your hands in very warm water, mop them off hastily with a towel, and go out into the cold before they are thoroughly dry, you must expect a sandpaper surface. But, if you wash in warm water with pure soap, rinse your hands in cold water, and rub with a Turkish towel until they are absolutely dry, then use a drop of hand lotion or a little cold cream and dust off with talcum powder, your hands are never going to know It is winter. Your face demands even greater care. While I have no quarrel with soap, I know many faces resent It 1

important to women audiences, but men watch the hat and the feet. “If you feel yourself losing morale, dragging on work that ought to be easy, take a few hours off and have a Turkish bath, a shampoo and wave, a manicure and a facial, or as many of them as you can pay for. “The men in your office may not know what has happened. But the consciousness of being ‘well turned out’ will double your assurance, and, therefore, your ability. “Training is tho first essentia], naturally. But a close second is pose. The modern business world largely based on pose. Everybody In business should cultivate an assured and graceful attitude toward his or her job, a certain amount of individualism in methods. Nowadays you have to ’tell the world’ about yourself, or it will never notice you. Don’t Be Sorry for Yourself “If you can’t compass pose, at least fight for poise.” The excuse that business women are “too busy” to consider personal appearance is flimsy, Mrs. Stone believes. Left a widow with two children at 21, she had found a way to acquire business training, forge ahead through the mazes of stenography and other subordinate work, to a place as expert on finance and taxation—and still to keep a complete wardrobe in working order all the time. "You can’t do good work,” she says, “when you keep seeing your rough fingernails and catching sight of your own shiny nose ar.d stringy hair and spotted dress. Those things make you feel sorry for yourself ,-fnd uncomfortable under the gaze of others. Modishly dressed and groomed, you can look any man in the eye and beat him at his own game.”
bitterly. The point Is to remove the dirt, either by soap and water or with a cleansing cream. Get Used to It After the cleansing, wring out a cloth In hot >vater and go over your face with it, then follow with a cold spray. In the evening, just before you retire, I advise a cleansing and an ice rub. This accustoms your skin to changes in temperature and tempers it to the wintry blasts. If you have no ice, consider the snowball. However, wrap It in a towel before you introduce it to your skin, if it is sensitive. For those with a tendency to large pores, I -advise somo astringent, such as witch hazel or ono of the good commercial products. Immediately after the warm water; this will close the pores. OLD RAGS Flannelette pajamas, silk skirts, old table linen make the best of dustcloths for highly polished furniture.

YOUTH NOT WISE, ONLY CURIO They Will Find Everything Turns About the Same in the End. Ry Mrs. Walter Ferguson Another public leader has popped up with the announcement that he is strong for the younger genera*tion. Well, almost everybody is. The younger generation, without a doubt, has more sense for its age than tiny that has gone before. It is franker and more honest, and ‘entirely unafraid of life. It 1h un- ■ hampered by doubts and holds up its head at an incredibly infantile i age. It notices things sooner anil can walk alone almost before it is out of the crib. But this offers no reason to be-: lievo that there are not many things that it cannot learn profitably from the older folks. , After all, life does take the starch ; out of everybody, and there is no reason to suppose that these youngsters are going to come through untouched by its huffetings. They, too, will suffer. In different ways, perhaps, but • quite as deeply. Their dreams will alwavsbe more wonderful than their ments. They will feel for aWwn the surge of happy youth and the desire for remarkable achievements and after a struggle will realize that the years wear heavily. The younger generation, too, will become old. These frank and fearless children : who think they are going to reform the world with their sex freedom 1 1 and their mental prowess will find eventually that everything turns out! about the same in the end, It seems, somehow, sad for so' many older people to sit back and; say that the children know more than they do. After we have gone through the trials and struggles and battles with the storms of existence, it is at least inconsistent to assert that the youngsters, unknowing as they are, are wiser than we. For they are not wiser. They are only more curious and more confident. Real wisdom comes only, with experience. Tho children could listen with profit to their ciders in spite of their belief in their own understanding and the time will never come when maturity should not feel it a duty to set a good example for youth. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Announcement has come of the marriage of Miss Irene Edwards of Richmond to Samuel Denny of Indian;! polis, which took place Dec. 22 at Richmond. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Jope of the First Christian Church. Mrs. I\enny is a nurse in Wayne and adjoining counties. They will reside in Indianapolis.
