whether they want their wives to . be denture or sirens.”

For the girls who have to- buy -she lays down

these rules: . 1. Buy a hat stand- -

.you look at yourself—standing up —in a full length mirror so that you judge the hat ‘in proportion to your body. 2._As a wartime measure, check with your wardrobe. It is not practical in wartime to buy a hat which goes with only one dress. 3. Buy a hat when your hair looks the worst. If it looks well then, it will look well on you at any time.

She has a recipe for glamour,

- too. ' She says you should buy one

“leetle” functional dress, a becoming hat, and put your glamour into. perfume and accessories. «Men should be charmed,” she says. ”» 2 9 FRENCH-BORN Mme. Dache recently received an American Fashion Critics award for her contribution to the fashions of1942. The award was for her “capot,” a hat which ties on like a handkerchief.

Slacks’

Economist 0. K's Them for Home Or Work.

By ROBERT J. NEFF Times Special Writer SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 17— Girls: If youve got a figure which “doesn’t bulge in the wrong place,” and can afford “smartly tailored” slacks, then—by, all means wear ‘em. That's how Mrs. Christine Ryman Pensinger, slim, well-groomed state home economist for Illinois, feels on the much-discussed question of “slacks for women." t Mrs. Pensinger, who designs the uniforms which employees in the 21 state public ' welfare ' institutions wear, let her smartly-coiffured black hair down (figuratively) today on the subject. “Slacks are a wonderful invention,” she said, “but they should be worn with discretion. I don’t think a woman who has a figure which bulges in the wrong places should wear them unless they're : very smartly tailored.”

‘Not for Street’

By discretion, the youthful looking feminine state official said she meant that slacks “shouldn’t be worn on the street, because no matter how good a figure you have I think theyre a little too informal for street wear.” 3 She added, however, that “it’s all right to wear them around the house, unless your husband objects too strenuously.”

younger than the other type; the

clip hat, her proudest invention of

the year whereby a hat looks

“perched but is clipped firmly on,

front, back - or sidewise; the dip hat, ‘small, ‘medium or large, but deeply dipped down over the fore-. head; the deep-seated cloche which is her favorite for daytime and may be molded close to the head or have a high crown and

deep funnel brim.

Others are the soft ribbon hat,

often reversible and “moldable” to any shape: the crest of flowers, a

high coxcomb which fits into rather than on to the coiffure; the mufin of straw or fabric, sthaller than a beret, flatter than a pillbox and suitable for wear plain or with a variety of overs

on ribbons that tie around the front or back of the head or ‘around the throat as a necklace;

“the little capot of straw, smaller than last year’s version and without the curtain back and ties.

The latter buttons on to a navy straw_angular halo so it can be laundered. The coif,'a popular Dache style for several seasons, appears in fine textured straw this year. WasHability is the practical aim of a large portion of the collection —capots of white cotton and even a washable hat ‘of red and white striped cotton with removable strips to stiffen the wide and easily ironed ‘brim.
