Beautician's Tip

They're Just ‘A Plot!

And Hairdressers—

Yilires, ultures,’, Vito Say Says

Staff Correspondent NEW EW YORK, Aug. 6—~"I'm going to deliver you from these vultures, these parasites, these 20th century witch doctors, these , , ." Victor Vito spluttered.

He meant hairdressers — other| E

than himself. “A woman has got to know exactly what she wants when she goes to a beauty parlor,” Vito told the seven girls at his weekly free hair clinic. “And she'd better know something about how it's done, too, if she doesn’t want to be butchered. If the hairdresser won't do it your way, get up and go home.” Vito's clinic has just one hard and fast rule—no girl who comes to it can ever become a paying customer. She can go home and do it herself or go out and spread the gospel in some other beauty parlor. Most women, Vito told the girls, look best in simple, plain, straight hairdos. ‘Don’t pay any attention to these fancy piles you see in pictures,” he said. “The hairdressers are trying to get you done up so you can't do it yourself. If you need a model look at the girls in advertisements for shoes or chewing

ucts.” Vito Gives Points For Customers Then, sald Vito, remember these things when you sit down in the beauty parlor: Don’t let anyone thin your hair at the ends. All thinning should be done on the -fop section of the crown, close to the head Whatever your hairdo is, the hair must lie] flat on the back of the crown. If you want a curl at the level of your eyes, the hair has to be! cut so it makes one loop and its there. No strand of hair that reaches your shoulders will curl around your ears. Don't be fooled by the varying prices of a permanent wave. If the - hairdresser tells you one operator is $10 and a better operator is $15, Vito sald, that's legitimate. But that’s the only honest difference between waves. “The difference in price between the cheapest lotion on the market and the most expensive is less than five cents per permanent,” he said.

Girls Help Prove

The girls helped him prove his points. “You've got the best looking head of hair in the room,” he said, pointing at a shining page-boy haircut. “Who does your hair?” Frances Fowler, 18, blushed “I eut it myself,” she admitted. “I've never been to a beauty parlor before.” Vito smiled.

Plants Need Baths Did you know that house plants need a bath? Wash the leaves once a week with thin suds of soap and lukewarm water and you'll find the . plants will be much healthier.

Big Red Céats i Note for Fall

Most Designers Like The. Bright Tones

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (U. P).— Theré'll be 3 big red coat this fall

for every woman who’ wants one. Hardly a designer has failed to whip up at least one impressive winter wrap in red or bright wine. And those who have neglected that happy color have dug up some others that will look just as bright against the snow. The swing back coat gives a lighthearted luis to red gaiety that has been favored by most of the coatmakers. One such comes in bright Burgundy tweed with a shoulder yoke of standing vertical tucks and an inverted pleat down the back, which for no apparent reason is held together at the waistline with a big brown wooden button. Another designer pre-dated the flying saucer with a red coat whose wide round collar buttons up around the neck like & soup plate. It's equally. pretty unbuttoned and lying flat. This full coat comes with a cord belt which may be threaded through the side seams to cinch in the front, worn all the way around or dispensed with completely.

Evening Coats Have Sophistication Plus There are a couple of red evening coats that should do justice to drawing room drama. Onechangs full "as a cape to the floor over an inner waistcoat which buttons to the waist to keep the chest warm. Another has an ear-warming hood and a belt to hold its front against a billowing breeze. There are fittéd fashions, and a distinctive straight one. The latter's slim straight line is pointed up with welted seams which release pleats at the knees in back. One dressy red coat has a slimly fitted long torso line ending in a hipline cuff above a flared skirt. And another swing may be red or not as the mood suits. It's a bright red plaid with a deep U-shaped collar in navy blue. And the whole coat can be turned with its navy inside out for a somber mood. But the dressmakers aren't allowing too -many of those this season.

JUNOESQUE girls who would like to under-accent their magnificent proportions should enlist the aid of perfume to that end. Perfumer ‘Bernadine de Tuvache, who creates rare scents and speaks with authority on the impressions they can - create, claims that delicate, airy fragrances will help the stout woman put over the illusion of less bulk. Says the perfumer: “The tendency of the overweight woman is to use heavy perfumes. When these fragrances are exploded by body heat, the effect is too much woman and too mueli perfume.” . » yy .» THE EFFECT of a light fra- | grance when wafted about by the large woman, says our -eXpert, is to make her seem daintier and more feminine.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES |Earrings Anchored With New Wingback Device

By LOUISE FLETCHER Times Woman's Editer

MANY A MAN, out for an. evening with his “dreamboat,” has spent a good portion of the time crawling around on dance floors or under restaurant tables in search of missing earrings. ; Well, he can rise now, dust off his knees and forget the retriever act. Henceforth earrings can stay

put. It's a new wingback device which brings about this blessing. No matter how big the earring (or how small the wearer's ear lobe) the wingback device keeps the ornaments firmly anchored. Being shown this week ‘at Wasson's, the wingback is a brace of two flexible wires. They're shaped to conform to right and left: ear contours. The wings rest inflde“the curve of the ear just above the lobe. Another wire, extending from the wings, goes behind the lobe, eliminating the need for screws or clips. As a result, there's: no pull on the lobe even when the earrings are the outsize variety. What's more, women whose ear lobes are too small to provide a base for earrings may now wear them. - » » MOST interesting point about the whole business is that it is a woman who took the wanderlust out of earrings. © . She's Tennessee-born ‘Judith McCann. And she says her invention came about because she, too, got tired of diving head-first under tables after errant baubles. Shortly after the wingback made its debut, it was being used by 60 top manufacturers of fine jewelry. The DeBeers diamond outfit thinks the wingbacks are so safe that for the first time fabulous stones are suggested for earrings. (One dia-mond-studded pair, attached to wingbacks, sells for $25,000, but the Wasson styles are within reach and reason—$2 to $15.) The wingback’'s quick success keeps its inventor pretty busy, making and shipping it to jewelers to solder to their own ornaments. What started out as a onewoman enterprise is now a company with an expanding staff settled in a Manhattan skyscraper. In the midst of production, Mrs. McCann squeezes in time to design a series of rope knots of gold wire as ornamental fronts for the wingbacks which one jewelry firm buys.

» ” »” ALTHOUGH this is her first fling at designing which pays off, Mrs, McCann claims she has good amateur standing, backed up by the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. Her first job in New York was as fabric editor for a national pattern book. Her knowledge of design encouraged her to take her idea for the wingback to the little jewelry repair man around the

ring at which she's looking .

working it out to her specifications. “All T wanted at the time,” she says, “was a pair of earring backs that would hold—with no pain or nosedives under tables—two unset aquamarine stones as big as hickory nuts.” Discovering that her brain-child would work, she introduced it to one of the country’s top jewelry findings manufacturers. After he had one look at it, the little wingback soared off to success. The business of bank-rolling the invention was taken over by Charles M. McCann, night cable edito® of the United Press. When a jeweler told him what a service his inventive wife was. doing for her suffering sisters, his surprised reply was: “Why? Do women lose their earrings?”
