responsible for sending the hemline downward, took a pasting here.
Today, a Spaniard by the name of Balenciaga,
§ currently brewing fashion trénds in a witch's
cauldron in Paris, will be discussed. Mr. Balenciaga (that's all anyone knows about his name), is attempting to bring back the middy, the abominable style that made every woman look like scarecrow in the Roaring Twenties. » The couturier (its not a naughty word-—means a man dressmaker), is preparing to get milady’s hips slimmer, her derriere slimmer; well, just everything that has been bullt up over the years.

CAN'T WE let well enough alone? Is there any earthly reason why we should tamper with the curves all red-blooded men have seen come into their own? Haye seen and loved? If you happen to have an October Harper's Bazaar, take a quick look on page 166 and 167. Should you be under 10 and over 85, it won't make much difference. If you're in between, the ceiling will be your next stop.
The fashion magazine hints in bold type to “Watch this dress—this is Balenciaga’s—provocative new silhouette, the middy. This is the shape that may shake the fashion, that may send the waist down next season, that will make a wise woman start thinking now of slimmer hips, a slimmer , . .” - Ach, it's painful.

THE -MIDDY-is about-as provocative as a fire hydrant. I am one man who hopes never to see the waistline on women’s dresses anchored near the hips. 5 When a woman clifnbs into a dress she should be excitingly round, pleasantly firm, fully packed and easy on the eye. Women, for the most part, are that today. y

It Happened Last Night
By Earl Wilson
NEW YORK, Oct. 15—Here's a nice thorny question for today—should a plane that's carrying blood plasma to GIs also carry. pictures of stripteasers? Frankly, I never thought of it being sinful or offensive when I mentioned it in a column from Korea a month ago. But some protests are coming in. Typical is a letter from Kenneth St. Clair of 2760 Harris Ave., Norwood. O. “I wonder how the donors would feel about this if they knew,” he says. “My guess is that, being decent people as I'm sure most of them must be, they wouldn't like it. “I think this is a matter that deserves to be brought to the attention of the Red Cross, and 1 intend to see that it is.” & &
GEE WHIZ, Mr. 8t. Clair, look now, don't make me out a tattle-tale. I didn’t mean to blow a whistle on anybody. I didn’t see anything wrong with the pictures at the time. You see, it was like this. About 4 in the morning I ieft the Hotel Tokyo for the ‘airport after having been around Tokyo the night before with a U. 8S. Air Force Major, He took the B. W. and me to a cafe.

WELL, IT WAS FULL of officers and, what do you know! .'. . On the show were several Japanese strip-teasers wearing no more than Winnie Barrett or Gypsy Rose Lee. So next morning when: I boarded the C-54 to fly up fo Seoul, somebody said, “Since you're a newspaperman, you're supposed to sit up in the crew's quarters.” As I walked through the plane I saw some big boxes and asked, “What's that? “Blood,” somebody said. Now in the crew's quarters I saw right on the wall above where the navigator sat, two pictures. I didn't have to ask anybody what those were. They were Japanese stripteasers. Se &
COME TO THINK OF IT, it was only one

taken from different—err—directions. “Hmmm,” I commented to the navigator. “You're so right,” the navigator commented back. That was the extent of the wrong done by the pictures. The soldiers sitting in the back of the plane weren't contaminated because they didn’t see them, and the blood was also safe as it was in the same place. [ SE
