EAR JANE JORDAN--I am a sophomore in college and have been
offered a good position with a
nationally known firm of outstand-
. ing importance in its field. As there is a great chance of advancement in this company, should I risk losing this opportunity to finish my two remaining years in college? They will not guarantee to give me another chance if I do npt go ahead with them now. What should
I do?
Answer—The answer depends on how much money you have and
how much you are getting out of your college education. If you can afford to stay in college, and if you are adding valuable knowledge to
your equipment, you would do well
to stick it out, for you will be even
more valuable to some firm in two years from now. I doubt if this

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8
Perking Up?
Now’s the Time to Put Added Frills on Jaded Dress.
By ROSETTE HARGROVE ARIS, Aug. 1 (NEA).—The dog days are “accessoyies” days for the sartorial alert woman, Heat waves do more damage to even the most carefully planned wardrobe than anything else. The crispiest dresses wilt after a few wearings and here it is that accessories can be introduced with a flourish. The value of stark white accents on black or very dark navy is nothing new, but the addition of pleated frills in the sheerest white lawn, completed with a wristband and bow of black velvet will perk up a plain black crepe frock con= siderably. And it would be a wel= come change from the too ubiqui“tous pique trim. Try the same pleated lawn frill as an edging to “elbow sleeves, either on an afternoon or a dinner frock and fasten the frill back to the sleeve, instead of letting it hang over the arm, with a little black ribbon bow, in velvet or moire. Artificial flowers also can be counted oh to lend life and color to a jaded ensemble, but the one invariable rule is tha they absolutely must be of first freshness. Huge cabbage roses are new—in white, in all the deep rose tones, in creamy tea-rose shades—in fact in all the real colors to be found in a rose garden.
\ . _ RUIT as a trimming has its points, but it has to be treated in a very sophisticated manner. A Dboutonniere composed of a small-sized luscious peach and, perhaps, a cluster of grapes—all very charming on the lapel of a linen or tussor suit. Try a bright red hat and bag, or slippers and bag in any vivid colod with white, grey, in fact with anything. Brown is another very flattering combination with - dead white, An amusing pancake of a hat and absurd muff all worked itr loops of gay plaid ribbon is another idea which can beinterpreted in a number of vivid color combinations. : A new set of gloves, bag and headdress is always welcome. Balenciaga provides some novel ideas of this order. He trims black or purple velvet bags with ostrich feathers to match the coiffure, sometimes adding a tiny puff of the feathers on the gloves. Judith Barbier, the wizard artificial flower maker, is showing some perfectly charming fans made of supple sprays of lilac and hyacinth. Nearly all Barbier’s evening eoiffures, which also do duty as “dining-out hats,” are in flowers, completed by little wispy ties of net in the color of your hair or in one of the shades of the flowers.
All Hail Sewing Machine
The woman who is her own interior decorator appreciates her sewing machine, makes herself familiar with the use of its attachments, Curtains, spreads, slipcovers, draperies—all can be finished ‘in double-quick time and with an expert touch, yet inexpensively and with a wide choice of color, fabric and design. Narrow flutings, graceful ruffles, tailored cordings, even soft quilted effects, are not difficult to achieve and have a way of abolishing any appearance of amateur workmanship.

Sumners House
By GERRY DICK : ’ : 1. (NEA) —Republican Congresswoman Jessie ners’ only complaint against the founding fathers is that they did not know anything about women’s silk stockings. - She offers in evidence several brand new pairs, badly snagged. The well-worn seats in the House of Representatives chamber may be all right for trousered legs, but they bristle with splinters that are death on
sheer hosiery. She hadn't been in her seat two minutes, the opening session of the 76th Congress, when she realized that a run was creeping up her stocking. So embarrassment was Miss Sumners’ first reaction to being a new Congresswoman,
Counts on Personality
By and large though, Miss Sumners doesn’t think women are at a disadvantage because of their sex in Congress or in the professions. She says “liking people and not thinking about yourself are the important things.” She sums up her advice to women who aspire, to careers and public service: “A woman will get along anywhere if she is easy to get along with.”
A successful trial lawyer and county judge in Illinois, Miss Sumners encourages women to become lawyers and legislators. She says: “If you're 8 woman in what is often called a man’s profession, and you make a mistake it will be conspicuous. But on the other hand, if you do a good job, you'll probably receive credit in the same proportion.” Miss Sumners, who is from Watseka, Ill, is the youngest waman member of Congress. She has blond hair which she dresses becomingly. Tall and slender, she keeps that way by walking from three to 20 miles a day, depending on how busy she is. She always walks to work and back.
Follows Old Maxim
She believes in the early-to-bed, early-to-rise adage. She is up at 4 or 5 in the morning and in bed before 9. She says she doesn’t plan to let the Washington whirl upset her habits. Congresswoman Sumners has the sincere straightforward manner typical of her Midwestern origin. She th a fight, saying “That's because I'm one-fourth Irish.” . Direct and aggressive, the new Congresswoman is at the same time completely feminine. Asked if she thought a woman could do as good a job as a man if elected President, she said, “I don’t know any woman of age in 4 years.”
Good Grooming Aids Aids to good grooming should go along on the vacation trip. Don’t forget to pack brushes for clothes, shoes and handbag, all efficient mending kit, pins, a small bottle of cleaning fluid for emergencies. And do provide adequate cases for cosmetics and toilet articles. And even
though you select uncrushable materials for most of your wardrobe, you will find a small folding electric iron practically invaluable.

It’s ‘Ironing Day’? No Need to Frown
A bit of system prevents forehead wrinkles on ironing day. First sort clothes. Fold neatly those that do not need to be ironed and those that need only light pressing on the outside. Dampen the rest and arrange in order to iron—those that require a cool iron, then pieces that look hest ironed at medium heat, and last the ones needing a very hot iron. Modern electric irons have heat indicators to regulate correct temperatures for pressing different fabrics; which should obviate all danger of scorching. Having the basket of dampened clothes on a chair within easy reach on the one

Duchess of Kent Ready For Stay in Australia; - Shopping Done.
PARIS, Aug. 1 (U. P.). — The Duchess of Kent, in a whirlwind buying tour in Paris preparatory to her autumn departure to Austra lia, has given the public a prevue glimpse of coming winter fashions, including the disclosure that wom= en’s hats will not be quite so freak= ish. . ‘
If Paris is right, hats will look like hats again, with no more of the “clown hats” with ridiculous small crowns. Instead, they will take the form of scoops or pirate’s caps, or Robin Hood bonnets with bright quills piercing the hat. The most popular hat colors are
|dark brick-red and hunting green.
Hats are expected to change hair fashions to make the hair shorte and less curly, ”
Clothes Galore
The Duke and Duchess of Kent were en route by motor for a vacation in Jugoslavia today after the Duchess had finished a shopping spree in Paris during which she bought enough gowns, coats and hats to fill 20 trunks. The Duchess completed her ward- - Tobe to take to Australia this autumn when the Duke assumes his post there as Governor General. The dressmakers interrupted laste minute preparations for their style shows to pin up hasty models from which the Duchess picked plenty to take along, and ear-marked others to be airmailed to Australia if she needs more “down under.” The Duchess, the former Princess Marina of Greece, generally chose conservatively, refusing the new bustle dresses for evening wear. She picked dozens of filmy evening dresses in chiffon and tulle, with narrow’ waists and full skirts. She picked’ dressy broad-rim hats with waxed ostrich\feathers as an empire note. It was still too early to predick what the definite trend of winter fashions will be, but it was already evident that women will no longer dress like 20th Century schoolgirls but more like sophisticated “grandes dames.” | !
