Women Not Growing Old So Rapidly BY MARTHA LEE. For ever so long, since the war, to be exact, youth has been triumphant. “All ‘for Youth, and Youth for All” has been the battle cry that rocked the coast of Maine to the Golden Gate and Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. And that cry has caused a lot of suffering in feminine circles. It is inherently feminine to get a little “girthy" around 40. It is natural for the face to age. the figure to rag and the hair to fade. In pre-war days, that was allowed. If a woman wanted to grow old. let her. If she didn't want to, we made her anyway. So there are consolations and there are retribut.ons to be derived from this flair for youth. With the advent of the war came bobbed hair, short skirts and other outward signs of emancipation for women. And right there was where ‘he middle aged mammas had to : :art rejuvenating. No more graying hair, done in knots atop the head. Every Detail Watched No more allowing the figure to balloon at leisure. With the short skirts, every little detail had to be watched. A matronly figure was a total loss in one of those be-pleated, i be-swirling skirts that look so well on a sleek boyish figure. It’s been a hard ten years for! women who were not naturally slender. naturally "cute” and coy. But some wise soul, with a knowledge of the behavior of the pen- I dulum of feminine tastes has taken advantage of the fact that women tire of anything if they are given enough time to do so. And so the skirts have become ; long. They are hiding matronly legs, even ankles if one wishes. They are designing gowns that make women appear dignified and matonly and grown-up. The tightly marcelled and curled heads, that were clipped to a “fare ye well” are gone. In their places are sleek, well-behaved, conventional bobs or long hair, certainly both styles flattering to the 40-year-old woman lor the first time in ever so long. Matronly Not Disgrace In other words, it no longer is a disgrace to appear in public grownup. mature and matronly. It still might be necessary to! squeeze into a corset, but the effect, | after the outer apparel is donned, ! is less like a bean bag tied in the j middle and more like a female j figure given to a few undulating curves which any woman past 40 has a right to indulge in, mildly. The battle cry has changed. Everything’s all to the “demure and womanly” now. A woman dare not sink into middle aged oblivion as she once did. That is one of the blessings of this “revival of youth” business. She must not be old at 45. She can have gray hair, because gray hair is very chic with the right attention and the proper clothes. She has learned to watch the wrinkles j so that those are minor worries. She has gone through a sort of inquisition. And if she passes the trials well, she is such an improvement over youth that now’, that styles allow her to look attractive well as be attractive, there’s no comparison between the companionship she can offer and the companionship of youth. She no longer is the aper. Henceforth youth will follow her. And she will teach youth as valuable things as youth ever taught her, which is as it should be.

MAKES ART OF CROONING

Vaughn de Leath Finds Starring Easy

BY ISRAEL KLEIN XEA Service Writer NEW YORK, May 13.—When Leonore Elizabeth von der Lieth was 12, back in her early school days at Riverside, Cal., she became so inspired by the daily salute to the flag that she sat down one day and wrote a song. “Old Glory,” a patriotic hymn, la’- back in the coffers of her memo* , unsung, unpublished, for nearly a score of years. A year ago the sponsors of a program in which Vaughn de Leath crooned favorite Negro melodies and sympathetic ballads wanted her to prepare a special hour for July 4. “I’ve got it,” she said. Then, half reproaching herself for being so rash, but going through with the idea nevertheless, she added, “I’ve a song I wrote when a little girl. A song to the flag. ‘Old Glory.’ I’ll sing it for you.” Song Makes a Hit “Old Glory” was sung. It made a hit, and ever since then Yaiugg| de Leath, of crooning voice, has to repeat her fir 4 Packed closely f a filing cabinet, irf apartment on street, only a National Broadci studios, are copi? and 400 songs wm of Vaughn de L;V poser and author? 1 ""' Among these are songs she wrote with Irving Berlin, one of them in particular—“ Drowsy Head”—a na-tion-wide hit. Among them also are numerous mountain ballads, pieces she composed under the name of Ann Hampton—all, however, Vaughn de Leath. Married to Artist Leonore Elizabeth von der Lieth, of course, is her real name. That is. her maiden name. She has been married a little more than

six years to Livingston Geer, an artist and painter. So you might take your choice of quite a variety of names, and attract her attention each time. Leaning close and almost affectionately toward the cold, cylindrical microphone, Vaughn de Leath moves her lips and sends her crooning voice into it. hardly heard by the few onlookers in the studio. But that’s all she needs to convey to the fans back home a type of singing that has made her famous. Her full round face carries a I smile that is accentuated by the! deep-set dimple in her chin. Her black hair, slicked backward, and her dark eyes serve as striking \ contrast in a picture which is fin-; ished neatly by the long dangling earrings that she is so fond of I wearing. Can’t Get Used to Crooning Rather stout. Vaughn de Leath seems to fit her crooning to her appearance. But while she has long accepted her physical state as such, she has never been able to get used to crooning—Vaughn de Leath. who

perhaps is a pioneeer in the crooning art. When she first decided to sing that way, back in the early days when radio was wireless, and only amateurs listened to her programs she didn’t think of it as crooning. It was merely an octave range in the lower register, for her. But someone came along with that descriptive expression, and there you have it. Started as Lyric Soprano “I started as a lyric soprano,” she says, “and had a range of three octaves. But I listened to my own records a great deal and I discovered that my voice seemed to register best only in the lower range. “So I concentrated on that alone and the result has been a sort of one-octave contralto —a crooning. “I find that the microphone seems to accept the crooning range much more easily than the higher notes so I’m sticking to that.” (To Be Continued)
