Woman's Viewpoint— ‘Folks at Home Also Like to Get Letters’
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer THE LITTLE OLD WOMAN and I were the only customers in the downtown telegraph office at that late hour. I waited for her to finish her business with the girl behind the desk and, as so often happens, bumped into tragedy. . She had been badly battered by life. You could see that at a glance. . Nearing 170, I should say, not ¢ exactly shabby, te but a little run down at heel, she looked as if some recent blast had shriveled her spir- § its. The winter had overtaken her. Her eyes, which had, once been beatiful, Mrs. Ferguson were now bright with fear. It was easy to see that
she held on desperately to her wan-
ing courage. Hope was dying hard within her, but it was dying. “I can’t eat or sleep for worrying about you”—she repeated over and over to the clerk. “Please let me hear from you at once.” Signed, “Mother.” . “I tried to get her “on the telephone”—her words spilled out and filled the empty office with a sense of drama. She didn’t want to give away her secrets, but she had to talk, talk, talk, in order to hold back the dread which was about to devour her.
“THE LINES were busy; they wouldn't let me through. Maybe she’s moved. It's my daughter. She went to California to work in a defense plant. At first she was good about writing—have you got the message right? When will it get ere? I haven't heard from her such a long time. Didn’t you say 'd get a report if the message isn’t livered?. I guess she’s just so busy ; forgets.” . : ter when darkness had swalwed the lonely little figure, the irl and I avoided each other's eyes.
{ Something shameful, gross, hideous
was in the office. Neither of us could bear to look at it. “So busy she forgets.” How many people that. phrase describes! Now that emphasis ‘is put upon home folks writing to soldiers, we sometimes overlook the fact that home folks, too, have hearts that can ache. Young people fighting and working: for Uncle Sam also owe a duty to the bereft ones, those who are left behind. A scribbled line or two is enough. Or just those three little words—“I love you”—scrawled on 8 bit of coarse paper, is all the home folks ask. Surely, even while war goes on, if is not too much!
Will Give Program For Aged Women
The Welfare club will sponsor its first in a series of entertainments at the Indianapolis Home for Aged Women at 2 p. m. tomorrow, ’ Readings will be presented by the Misses Nancy and Sandra Adams and Faustino Rico and Mrs. Arthur Craven will play guitar duets. Mrs. Bertha Merrit Casey, pianist, will play an original composition. Members of the refreshment committee, headed by Mrs. Charles Tennant, will supervise the social hour following the program, which has been arranged by Mrs. Craven. Assisting Mrs, Craven were Mesdames George Pugh, Carl Spies, George Stalker, Robert Mack, E. E. Martin, Carlton Klaus, Harry Watson, W. L. Densford and Carl R. Sheets.
Riverside W. S.C. S.To Meet Tonight
Family night will be a feature of the monthly meeting of - the Woman's Society of Christian Service of the Riverside Methodist church in the assembly hall of the church at 7:30 p. m. today.

By LOUISE FLETCHER THERE ARE TWO good reasons why wool costumes occupy fashion’s spotlight just now. Wool takes well to the simple, unfussy styles dictated. by government fashion regulations—and it is excellent insurance against the goose-pimples engendered by fuel rationing. So popular is it that even nonwoolen fabrics are emulating its appearance and showing up in velvety or mossy finishes. In cleverly contrasting colors and smoothly fitted styles, both the wools and their wool-like counterparts appear “front and center” in the style scene. They trot about town to committee meetings, they work \in offices, they go shopping. And because of their trim appearance, they can go on to a restaurant at night and the theater afterward. 2 2 2 ’
COLOR CONTRAST is one of the - outstanding features of the newer designs arriving in shops here. Some have pockets, so popular this year, in the contrasting color while others are as divided up in color as a marble cake. "The “jacket of a two-piece wool dress seen at a recent committee meeting was in fuchsia and gray. A panel of fuchsia ran down the front of the long-waisted jacket and the brilliant color was carried out from shoulder to sleeve, all the way down to the wrist. The draped skirt also was fuchsia. A gray monogram was placed on the bodice to the right. 8 8 = , BLACK and grapefruit make a smart contrast. A New York design, entirely in black wool, shows a “weskit” of citrus yellow jersey. Deep green jeweled buttons circled in rhinestones march down the front of the dress from neckline to midriff. A tiny black wool belt fastens in the back. In the same color-contrast-family is a frock that the hostess will find just right for entertaining at home in the afternoon. The body of the dress is black wool-like crepe with a detail of powder blue jersey that circles the waist and is designed in a huge bow-like effect at the front. The turn back collar and lapels also are in blue.

Full Figure With Fuller Bustline Has "Shifting" Silhouette Problem
The woman who is a size 38 to 48 and has a large bustline—larger in proportion to her figure—has a definite problem that bad corseting only accentuates. Her figure shifts when she is in a sitting or standing position. When she is standing her figure looks one way and that way is generally, fashionably speaking, good. But when she is sitting her figure looks another way and that way is usually bad.” When she is standing her figure looks well-cor-seted and well-proportioned. When she sits down, if there are too many bones in her corset, her bustline- is pushed up into a silhouette that closely resembles that of a pouter pigeon. On the other hand, if there are too few bones and not enough support at the top: of the ‘brassiere section the bustline sags and the figure has, seemingly, no waistline at all. : The foundation we suggest for this type figure is a Sara Drew. It
: | has just the right amount of bones.
It is firm enough to control the entire figure. It has a slightly higher back than most one-piece founda
tions, yvhich keeps the bustline from |. WY
sagging when the figure is in a sit-
ting position. Furthermore, because |: of - this higher back, the brassiere}
will not lose its shape after a few wearings, This foundation also has
| a modified uplift brassiere which
gives firm support and a soft, graceful -line, whether the figure is. sitting or standing. And most important, from the comfort angle, it has : larger women with ‘a fuller bustline have short arms. ‘They find it most dif-
ficult to reach around to the side
and fasten their foundations. The
front closing makes this corsette ex-| i ally easy to get into and out}
ception of. It
