They recommend dinner dresses \ or evening gowns that at least cover the shoulders and upper arms. They Ne the dresses cut low enough in ront to show off the woman's well rounded neck. They point out that is the aavantage the overweight woman has over the thin girl with the scrawny neck who must insist on high necklines, | The simpler the lines of the dress, the better for the overweight woman. She should depend on good lines and fabrics rather than trimmings. As for colors, black is always good for the large figure. Navy blue, medium gray, wine | and soft dark greens also are good choices. Horizontal stripes are taboo. Conspicuous jewelry should be limited to three pieces and fantastic heéaddresses (even flowers) are not recommended for the jpverwight woman. i On Choosing Lipstick The beauty experts say that it is important to know which ‘shades of makeup complement your natural skin tones, but it is just Bs important to know which shades harmonize with the color you are wearing. The color of your dress or hat, you know, appears to “reflect” on your skin and changes its| shade. If you stick to one color theme in your wardrobe you need hot worry about the difierent shades of lipstick and nail polish. Just be sure that the one you are wearing with that color is correct. | ~The clear scarlet, which seems just right with your black outfits, or even your navy and beige ones, just won't look right with a pink dress or a brown suit. [Soft shell pink lipstick, rouge and nail polish are safe bets, too, with your black, but not with all other colors. Brownish red makeup jis popular these days. There is one which looks like the orange-red of maple leaves turning in the fall, | This and the rust shades will go well with greens. You can wear them with your furs. They will make you look dramatic in stone blue and interesting in beige or gold. | Remember that the purple and orchid lipsticks and nail lacquers will bring out the yellowish tones in your skin. The fair-skinned girl can “get by” with both the yellowish and the bluish reds, but the blue-pinks are more flattering to ‘the majority of women.

Cold winds come, frosts begin to nip and the first thing to show it are those busybody hands. One of the manufacturers of manicure supplies has the answer in what she calls a Slumber Bundle. It comes in » a cunning pink and silver package for a dollar. There's a choice of hand smoother and softener, hand massage cream and hand mask cream tucked in with a pair of cotton gloves in a cellophane envelope. . .Give the hands a good lathering in soap and warm water, Don’t forget to work in a little extra cream in the pockets between the fingers and over the wrists where the lines

The Question Box

.Q—What is the origin of the expression, “The Four Hundred,” in New York society? A—The term originated about forty years ago when Ward MacAllister was asked to select the guests for .a party given by the Vanderbilts. He choose 400 whom he thought qualified to attend.

Q—Why do women’s coats button from right to left? A—This custom is said to have originated because a woman holds a baby in her left arm. Therefore, the woman's jacket must be unbuttoned with the right hand without disturbing the child.

Q—How many teeth should children have between the ages of one to two and one-half years?

A—At the end of the first year, six teeth; at one and one-half years, 12 teeth; at two years, 16 teeth, and at two and one-half years, 20 teeth.

Redder Red Cabbage

TO KEEP RED CABBAGE from turning a dark, unpalatable color, add a little vinegar to the cooking water. Use as little water as possible and cook only until tender. For spiced red cabbage, the rule of two is easy to remember. For a medium-sized red cabbage, cut into small pieces, add two tablespoons of water, two tablespoons vinegar, two tablespoons brown sugar, two tablespoons butter, two stick cloves, two sliced apples, salt and pepper. S:mmer over a low flame about two hours.

MONEY ALONE STYMIES TRACK ELEVATION JOB

Mayor Asks South Side ‘Delegation to Confer On Project.

By RICHARD LEWIS

In reply to the South Side Civic League's request for action on track elevation, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan has invited League officers to confer with him at City Hall on the long-postponed project. South - Siders have long campaigned for elevation, the key which many businessmen and residents believe will open the .door to a greater prosperity than the community has ever known. Traffic tieups at the tracks have been a major factor in retarding the development of - the South Side, these groups believe.

Mayor Favors It

Mayor Sullivan has campaigned for elevation, too. And sc did former Mayor Walter C. Boetcher. By agreement with the railroads involved, the City, last year, succeeded in amending the grade separation statute to remove legal barriers. In the spring of 1939, the Works Board resolved to elevate the tracks of the Indianapolis Union (Belt) Railroad from S. Meridian St. to Keystone Ave. and the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks from Raymond to Orange Sts. The Board instructed City Engineer M. G. Johnson immediately to

The Best estate kad sued for possession although the house had been purchased by Mr. and Mrs, John Berringer from Mrs. Best's heirs.

Airline Hostess

[Lived Here

Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—A far cry from the life she planned when a student nurse at the Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis is the job of Joan Waltermire as stewardess with the American Airlines. Just before she received her R. N. at Methodist, an airline scout entered to ask for stewardess recruits. Standing 4 feet 11%2 inches in stocking feet and weighing 96 pounds, she was just what the interviewer was looking for. In those days (1934), planes were smaller and necessitated as little weight as possible in the cabins. Joan volunteered for the job and was accepted but she insisted on a year of private nursing before commencing work for the aeroplane company. A year later, and four pounds heavier, she picked up what knowledge was needed from other girls at the field and began her career, flying. from Chicago to Washington. “Six 'or seven weeks of training are required now before a registered nurse can qualify for the job of stewardess,” she told me this morning at La Guardia Field. “However, I received my insignia a few days after I arrived at the field in Chicago,” Joan wears one, an enamel

plans and specifications. , . . Action Is Remote

2 That was almost two years ago. There has been no track elevation and in the opinion of officials who do not wish to be quoted, the possibility of ®action is remote. There are no legal barriers to the plan. Since the Grade Separation Law was amended, the railroads no longer oppose elevation. Everybody at the City Hall is for it. What stands between track elevation and the City Hall at this point is money. The City and the State Highway Commission claim they don't have it.

Another Traffic Remedy

Police Chief Michael F. Morrissey | outlined one of the official theories | for the traffic mortality increase in the City this year, at the Safety Board meeting yesterday. The Chief | said it has been the result of an increase in cars—5000 more than last | year. Ld Altogether, he recited, there are upwards of 137,000 cars and trucks operating on Indianapolis streets | plus itinerant traffic. That's about one vehicle for every family. In an attempt to relieve the rush hour traffic tangle, the Board has | decided to experiment with a longer | stop-go light change. About 10] seconds will be added to the green | lights at several intersections. | City Signal Superintendent John | J.
