Woman's Viewpoint—

The Dawdlers Waste Time Of Others, Too

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special’ Writer I'VE KNOWN SEVERAL very nice women who picked their husbands in 30 minutes and got married in a couple of hours, but required three days to decide on a dress. Perhaps you are a saleslady who has waited on one of them. Or a customer who has waited for the saleslady who was waiting on them. If so, you can understand what I'm talking about. You'll meet them wherever you go —these dawdling = shoppers, artists & of vacillation, doing the hesitation waltz in every downtown store. : They can stand before a counter for 40 minutes, keeping long lines of customers stymied while they try to make up their minds whether they'll buy a blue or a red handkerchief. Mental anguish is stamped upon their faces. They suffer, although not more than the rest of us who lose valuable hours while they ponder. ® 2 =

SOMEWHERE in infancy these women must have had bad training; or none at all. Their indecision is a trait which must influence other and larger aspects of their lives. The person who is unable to decide between two articles of wearing apparel, and feel satisfied with her choice afterward, must be equally torn in other matters which affect her business career or her domestic life. Certainly the ability to make

| quick decisions marks. the person

who can distinguish between impor-

| tant and unimportant things.

Shopping is an ordeal nowadays for several reasons—shortage of goods and lack of transportation

for customers and off efficient help for merchants. When we add to these woes the dawdlers who take half an hour of a salesman’s time to choose some simple article, you can see what certain busy house: wives and businesswomen are up against, As for the clerks, I've often wondered what prevented them from murdering a lot of their customers, offering the same reason that inspired the delightful sisters in “Arsenic and Old Lace.” They. did away with aged men, you will remember, to “put them out of their misery.”

youngsters, too, will probably steal the style show from their parents when they ‘Easter parade this year. They'll be wearing their own exclusive models in fabrics

. not only expressly for the young, but also of the same materials

their mothers wear. Easter frocks of cotton piques, organdy and glazed chintz, will be every bit as popular this year as faille. and crepe. One pretty pastel organdy dress with an embroidered yoke and simulated apron in contrasting color, looks as if it were made to order for Easter Sundays, birthday parties, and school “social” affairs. The crisp, dirt-defying glazed chintzes with ruffled yokes laced in velvet, and sash belt§ not only will make your little girl look good ‘enough to eat on Easter, but

save you many an extra hour over the wash tub. And the gaily printed piques, with puffed sleeves

and dirndl skirts, are sturdy

enough for school, too. s " 8 ’ THIS YEAR, children’s clothes are closely co-ordinated, for designers believe you can’t begin too soon to teach your daughter good style sense. And, they say, with the proper clothes, she will never go through that “awkward” age. Young, but not childish, is one military blue full-skirted faille frock featured for Easter. It has a gathered neckline tied with white pique bow and the same

. bow-tie effect repeated on the

bracelet-length sleeves. A matching sailor is trimmed with a bit of pique, which may be changed to velvet to give it a fall look. And, incidentally, today’s school togs are every bit as attractive as “Sunday-best.” Sensible, but how
