Today's Pattern
You look small-waisted and as appealing as an 18th Century portrait in this simple little dress, whieh though it is absurdly easy to make, has much chic and personality. The vogue for things Victorian is obeyed by the high and tiny waistline (with gathers above it to round out the bosom), by the use of braid and buttons, and by that oh-so-flattering neckline. Notice that the princess skirt has a backbelt, which helps to give a smooth and perfect fit around the waist. Make this delightfully youthful dress of taffeta, flat crepe or colorful print. It will be irresistible, for summer daytimes, in chintz or calico. In fact, it's a year-round pattern that you will make up many times. Pattern 8464 is designed for sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Size 14 requires 3% yards of 39-inch material; 6 yards of braid or ribbon to trim. The new spring and summer Pattern Book, 32 pages of attractive designs for every size and every occasion, is ready now. Photographs show dresses made from tliese patterns being worn, a feature you will enjoy. Let the charming designs in this new book help you in your sewing. One pattern and the new Spring and Summer Pattern Book —25 cents. Pattern or book alone— 15 cents. To obtain a pattern and step-by-step sewing instructions inclose 15 cents in coin together with the above pattern number and your size, vour name and address and mail to Pattern Editor, The Indianapolis Times, 214 W.

Boy, Too, Likes To Be Garbed In the Latest
His Pride Is at Stake if He Has to Wear Clothes ‘Behind the Times.’
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON You can hurt a boy far more through his clothes than you can a girl, despite the traditional joke about woman’s vanity. It is peculiarly true of the growing boy, not yoting enough to be philosophical. Boys don’t want to be handsome or dandified. They want to feel manly. And to feel manly it seems that you have to have your knees
covered, and wear what the other fellows are wearing regardless.
An Old Story
There~has always been some sort of war on about Junior's clothes. It used to be curls and kilts. Many little boys in grandma's day wore both until they were six. Gradually they became a martyred minority. Then began an epoch of sore trouble for the fond mamas who could not bear to lose their babies. For the last of the “sissy boys” turned into veritable demons. People gave them a wide berth. That is just about the best example of wrong dressing and its reaction on conduct that I can think of. The male, young or old, simply cannot stand being a minority. To look too young, or too feminine, is unbearable. Now the battle is on again. This time it lies between the shorts worn by the younger lads and the knickers of the eight-and-overs.
Best to Make Concessions
In this case, however, it is not a matter of looking like girls but of wanting to look as “old” as possible. Just put a pair of knickers on Johnny and then try to get him back into shorts. Mothers ask me what to do. I am sure I don’t know. I tried to tell a boy of seven that shorts and knee-length socks are worn across the water by boys up to 14. All year ‘round, too. He wasn’t interested. What he wanted was to look like the other fellows in his room at school and they nearly all wore knickerbockers. When it comes summer, he will be happier. Then, you see, he will have more company in the shortsbrigade. The best way, I suppose, is to make concessions to boyish complexes. But boys in turn must be able to take advice.
Boss Speaks
Objects to’ Working Girl With False Eyelashes.
By ALICIA HART “§y THINK that sweepingly long, false eyelashes and long, pointed, false fingernails are as out of place in a business office as a velvet dress and a sequin jacket would be.” That's a male executive speake ing. “1 know that it's important for the working girl to look smartly turned out when she turns up for a party shortly after 5” he con=tinued. “But I doubt that looking nice at a party is any more important to her than being dressed appropriately during business hours. That is, assuming she wants to get ahead in the business world. “If she thinks that artificial eyelashes and fingernails are necessary to the success of her soclal life, why can’t she carry them in her bag to the office, then put them on before she leaves for the party?” » » P course, that's only one man’s opinion. But it may remind the young business woman anew that she is judged in the business world by her appearance as well as her work. You may like dressy afternoon frocks and fancy, giddy shoes, “little girl” bows in your hair and transparent blouses, but they are as inappropriate to an office as golf shoes are at a dance. You don’t have to go to work in mannish suits and slouch hats, but neither do you have to assert your femininity so vigorously. You can look pretty without appearing positively inefficient.
Naturally, neatness and clean= liness are of paramount impore tance. The average executive isn’t likely to promote to a better po=sition the little girl who doesn't have a spick and span, perfectly groomed look about her.
