Charm Ends at Forty If Self Rules Extent of Interest in Others Rather Than Age Is Essential. BY GRETTA PALMER Times Special Writer NEW YORK, May 29.—“ Authoritative” is a pleasant word as a rebuke applied to the woman of uncertain years. Par pleasanter than “dogmatic,” “dictatorial” or “aggressive”—which is probably why it was chosen as the appropriate adjective by Maurice Hindus in his address

ft

before the Fashion Group on “Charm Ends at 40.” The American woman—so ran the gist of Mr. Hindus’ speech —starts out by being the most charming of her species. She is alert, gracious and at ease. Armed with these qualities, she manages to make a rousing success of her life by the age

of 38 or so, whether she has chosen a career in business or in the home. And at 40, Mr. Hindus said, she stops listening and begins talking—authoritatively. Let your own conscience and your observation tell you whether the indictment is true or not. But this, at least, is quite certain—that charm is not a technique, but depends to an enormous extent upon one’s interest in other persons. The crawfish is probably the least endearing member of the animal kingdom. There are young persons who are so self-ingrossed that they spend their entire social time in exuding their own opinions, but life, in most cases, knocks the habit out of them. They shed convictions and certainties as they meet reasonable persons with diametrically different points of view, and they become—oh, say, at about 21—delightfully open-minded. Their adolescent conceit has been destroyed. But heaven help the opinionated men or women who are already middle aged, for there is no postadolescent cure ahead of them! Forty Often Brings Smugness The woman who is in secure possession at 40 of everything that she . set out to gain at 20 is very apt to assume a smug point of view. There is no need for her to be gracious to persons unless she cares to be—they have nothing to offer that can add to her happiness. And so she becomes one or another thing —a rarely sincere woman, whose interest in other persons has no tinge of self-interest, or an aggressive, hard-bitten dowager whose only contact with the rest of the world consists in bossing it. Such women are not lovable. Mr. Hindus is, perhaps, correct in attributing more women of the warhorse type to America than to other countries. It is a hard job to become a tyrant in a land where women are treated as patronizingly as they are in almost every other country you can name. You can not have a race of self-satisfied women unless you give them something they find satisfactory. Wide Interests Preserve Charm But charm ends at 40 for the American woman only if her interest in other persons ends at 40, only if she limits life to the small orbit of her children or her job. The greatest charm insurance that the young woman can take out is to cultivate a healthy brood of interests while she still is in her twenties. Then, at 41, she will be able to bend a sincerely interested ear to the dear old man at her left, whether he talks of the steel industry or of collecting butterflies. As he almost certainly will, Mr. Hindus. Charm, for men, very often ends at 40, too. COATS OF SMOOTH LEATHER OFFERED Coats which swing aboard trains these days appear in smooth leathers, rough tweeds or plain wools. Not a touch of fur is seen on the smartest designs. They are fashioned with big revers or collarless necklines and worn with a dashing cravat. Figured necktie silk, knitted wool or any other fabric which remains crisp and shakes off dust may be tucked into the necklines of the coats, which are either long or three-quarter length.

A Woman s Viewpoint

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON IN one respect, at least, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is a dangerous influence for American women. She goes all day, we are told, in a sort of steady dog trot, getting through mountains of work and emerging at eventide serene and smiling. Her energy is inexhaustible. And if there is one thing more than another the matter with American women in general, it’s their inexhaustible energy. They go galloping over the land, here, there and yonder, bustling and breathless over the gigantic and innumerable tasks they undertake. Instead of doing one thing and doing it well, they barge hard ahead tackling everything in sight, until by and by a good many of them blow up and disappear, as it were, in their own steam. Not but what their efforts are generally worthy and commendable. The point is, they try to do too much. They do not concentrate, and it follows naturally that their thinking is often as disconnected as their activity and as

THE problem of keeping cool and composed in the hot days to come is solved in the trim little number you see here. It can be made quite easily in printed silk, gingham or chambray. The designs come for sizes 34 to 42. Size 38 requires four and one-half yards of thirty-nine-inch fabric plus five-eighths yard contrast. To obtain pattern and simple sewing chart of this model, tear out the coupon and mail it to Julia Boyd, The Indianapolis Times, 214 West Maryland street, Indianapolis, together with 15 cents in coin.

LINEN STANDS HIGH IN FASHION FAVOR You have to have linen this summer—it's a vital, young fashion. It is especially effective in the twopiece natural linen dress with the mammoth butons which may be used as ashtrays. White linen makes smart swagger suits with that starched, fresh look. Pastel linen blouses come in mouthwatering colors, while navy and brown linen fashions pert bows for white kid pumps and sailor collars for white linen dresses.

seldom to the point. Thus, they accomplish very little where they should do much. I am not in favor of limiting our causes too rigidly because we may then be in danger of becoming fanatics, but we should certainly plan our work so that we can get one thing finished before we start another. We proceed with our good works like the old-fashioned woman did with her spring cleaning. Instead of doing one room at a time, she turned the whole house topsyturvy and toiled like a mad creature to bring order out of chaos. We are attempting to reform the world in much the same foolish fashion. We join two or three or half a dozen organizations at a time, hurry from one meeting to another, getting a dab of information here and giving a dash of advice there, but somehow we fail to pull together in one big effort. Asa consequence, both the home and the world suffer. The woman, for instance, who has little children and obvious duties in her own yard, should get those out of the way first. Babies and homes can’t wait. They must be looked after NOW. Then, when that job is over, we can roll up our sleeves and sail ’nto something else. But, one thing at a time, sisters, one thing at a time.

Mass of Red Pimples Formed Itchy Rash. Healed by Cuticura. S? "My baby girl broke out on her hands, neck and lace with a mass of red pimples which formed a terrible, itchy rash. The affected parts became irritated from baby’s scratching, and the pimples became sore. She hardly got any sleep for nights but would lie awake scratching. “My mother told me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment and I sent for a free sample. After the second application the itching began to stop so I bought more, and it took only one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment to heal her." (Signed) Mrs. Mae Lee, R. F.

“Feel a Lot Better” From many states come reports like the following from Mr. W. M. Henderson, of Jasper, Fla.: “I have been taking Thedford’s BlackDraught twenty years. I take it for constipation that gives me a dull, tired, aching feeling, and T have headache, too. Black-Draught relieves me of this trouble. After a few doses, I feel as good as new. I keep it in my home. I have a big family. When one of us is ailing (from constipation), we take Black-Draught and almost always feel a lot better. It has been worth its weight in gold to my family.”—Advertisement.

Solution to Previous Contract' Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY, Secretary American Bridge League npHE lee-way principle—a theory introduced to contract by P. Hal Sims —is one of the most valuaable instruments of the game. It is well employed in today’s hand, which was played recently by Paul de Vries of New York city. When Mr. de Vries in the South bid a spade and North bid three spades, North was telling his partner that the hand was safe at four spades. However, it gave South a chance to go to three no trump, if he desired. Now when South elected to show anew feature of his hand with his bid of four hearts, he was really making a mild slam try. And when North bid five diamonds he was saying that the hand was safe at six, as he also had anew feature in his hand. When South went to fiVe no trump he was practically telling North that he held the king of clubs, because he was stating that there would be some advantage in having the hand led up to; therefore, he must have at least the king

A SPADE opening might have defeated the contract. However, when the hand was played, the queen of clubs was opened, and and ten of clubs. When North showed the ace of clubs with a bid of six clubs, and when South re-bid spades, North was justified in- going to seven. Mr. deVries in the South won with the king. South then led the ten of hearts and trumped in dummy with the duece of spades. A small spade was returned and won with the ace. The jack of hearts was led and trumped with the jack of spades. The seven of spades was returned. East discarding a club and Mr. de Vries won with the king. He then picked up the two outstanding spades and discarded two diamonds from dummy. East let go his two hearts. Declarer then cashed ace and king of hearts, discarding a club and a diamond from dummy. On the last heart, East was squeezed. If he let go a diamond, all the declarer’s diamonds. would be good, so he dropped the ten of clubs. Declarer then played the three of clubs and won in dummy with the ace, w r hich caught East’s jack. The nine of clubs was played and the declarer discarded his losing diamond. The last two tricks were won with the ace and king of diamonds. (Copyright. 1934 by NEA Service. Inc.)

The materials are white ribbed silk, crepe in clear, bright, colors, cotton and linen prints, seersucker and mesh knit. Sometimes the dress has a little jacket to match.
