In 1950's Children
By GAY PAULEY, United NEW YORK, Dec. 20—Faith
Press Staff Correspondent came easy until this year for the
woman who- 53 years ago inspired the famous “Dear Virginia”
letter of an editorial writer.
But today, Mrs. Virginia Douglas, now white-haired and 61, confessed, “I no longer am the optimist I've always been. I now
It was as a child of eight that | Mrs. Douglas sat down and | wrote the editor of the old New York Sun, pouring out her | doubt and asking him to reassure her that there was a Santa Claus. The reply, written by Francis P. Church, became a classic | expression that Santa lived as | surely as love ands generosity ‘and devotion exist,
War Shakes Faith
Now, looking back to those years when she was a small, | and dubious girl, Mrs. Douglas admitted that for the first time | since the letter, her own faith | was shaken. : “It’s the insecurity all around
Question: Which one of the ductless glands is stimulated by anger and when stimulated is said to be of benefit in at-
+ tacks of pain caused by arthritis?
Answer: This is the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is a remarkable gland —-actually “there are two of them in the human body—which secretes several different kinds of hormones. One of them increases ‘the blood pressure and is ~closly related with anger or alarm; another is the famous Compound E, or cortisone, which is now under such intensive study.

us that does It,” she explained.
“Are we always to have war, or
live with the threat of war? Do love and generosity exist and ultimately triumph?” Mrs. Douglas, principal of a 750-pupil grade ‘school on the impoverished lower East Side, commented, “Faith used to be easier for me. It's harder today for all of us, I am sure.” She went on, “I used to reread the closing words of that editorial ‘a thousand years from now , . . nay 10 times 10,000 years from now . ., he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.’ x “There never before was any doubt‘ about their truth,” she said. “But now I wonder whether they will prove true.”
For a minute after she spoke | those words, Mrs. Douglas paused. Then she said, “I suppose I'm being too pessimistic.
“We must have hope . .. hope ! | that 1950's children will grow up in a world better than any we |
have known.” Mrs. Douglas, now “widowed | and the grandmother of six small believers in Santa, is at her busiest now. Each year during the Christmas season she gets hundreds of letters. Some are from parents wanting a copy of the letter , . . otherg’from children who have

She tries to answer all of them, but it keeps her busy for weeks after the holidays. Her reply, this year as always, is “Santa is the spirit of goodness and giving and that spirit must live forever.”

‘Dear Virginia’ Sees Hope
: Pat Premo jacket dress.
By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor WHEN NEXT SUMMER'S SUN beams down, the beaming will be done on fabrics that rival the boldness and brightness of the sun's own warmth. Glimpses of fabric designs to come already are seen in the resort and cruisewear displayed for winter vacationers. Vivid colors will be rivalled by equally vivid patterns, particularly in costumes for active sportswear. And none will be more vivid than the big, boid blazer stripes which are a new fashion. Two examples of the blazer stripe, both by Hope Skillman, are prophetic of fashions to arrive in 1951. Bright white blazer stripes and embroidered effects, both destined for popularity during the seasons ahead, are utilized in a jacket dress (above) by Pat Premo. Unpatterned blazer stripes also appear in a swimsuit designed by Robby Len (above, right). The suit is a skin-tight sheath for active swimming but adds its own matching skirt
for beachwear, This may be found in Ayres’ active sportswear department on the third floor.

Beauty After 40—
One Color Keynote Advised
By EDYTH THORNTON McLEOD “PLEASE SUGGEST a suitable outfit to wear on a trip to Europe with my husband, as a sort of ‘after 40 | honeymoon.'—Mrs. T.T. G.” Select one color as the .keynote for your travel wardrobe
and don’t take too many Shanges, else you'll be too busy taking care of your clothes, For your travel outfit choose a dress in lightweight wool jersey, cut in simple, comfortable lines, a tweed coat with a fur collar or without, just as your personal taste dictates. Get a small, easy-to-rest-your-head sort of hat, one with a soft chiffon veil will be attractive and will make you look pretty. Be sure to choose a bag of leather, fashionable but functional and roomy, so that you won't have to dig frantically every time you want something. Get nylon hosiery and lingerie because they dry so quickly, and select all of your things in materials from which you can easily Shake out the wrinkles. 8
“DO You THINK a mature woman should wear an ankle bracelet? —L. E.” No, frankly, I don’t, It seems to me rather unbecoming to the "dignity that one
expects from a mature woman. “In selecting a gift suitable for my mother who has gray hair and a pretty complexion, should I choose a gold woven necklace and a large clip or a rhinestone necklace and clip, or pearls?—Mildred K.” Jewelry is an. important accent and it does require careful selection. Gold is not very becoming to women with gray hair.
Rhinestones are, but they are not for wear on any and every |
occasion. Pearls are the most flattering, especialty gray pearls, a choker and earrings but not bracelets, A silver one would Bh you particularly want her to have a bracelet,

i
| what a hall of this kind needs |
is decoration, not furnishing. Additional furniture would not be too useful and might clutter the space. The pictures provide excellent decoration, ‘and they also make the room seem complete with what furniture there is.
n ” ”
THIS PLAN would not be successful if the pictures were hung too high. The secret of the, trick is to fit the pictures close1y to the furniture grouping, so pictures ahd furniture become a single arrangement. Experiment before you try special hangings of pictures. Cut paper patterns in the pic—ture sizes and try them on the wall.
