Stylist Says Nighties Reveal Women's Ideas of Fashions

By JAY BREEN “ United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 13—You can tell what a lady wears to bed at night by the way she dresses and acts the next morning, lingerie stylist Dora Gottlieh said today. The general types ranged from the gal who turns in wearing pajamas as tailored as a diplomat’s morning suit, to the sultry siren who retires in shifting curtains of misty lace. And Miss Gottlieb found a bone to pick with all examples. “Women are as changeable as mercury in the

don’t seem to have an ounce of imagination or adventure concerning their night clothes. They settle for a particular style and that’s that.” Besides a national business, Miss: Gottlieb caters by appointment to some of Manhattan's most distinguished feminine snoozers and she firmly denounced the majority of even this successful group as deplorably rigid in their bedroom habits. oe <> oe “I HAVE A department store executive who regularly orders eight pair of pajamas a year,” Dora said. ‘The color always has to be peach and the tops have to be bolero styled. I fried to sneak some lace on one pair and the lady exploded .-. . said it made her feel frivolous.” She listed four typical women whose slumber gear could be identified by taking a look at them in broad daylight, beginning with:

Organizations—

ONE—The young lady who sleeps in her dad’s or big brother’s pajama tops. “She wears sport clothes to the office and would rather have a fast round of tennis than a walk in the moonlight-and can rip off statistics on her company till your head spins. When she gets married, the only time she won’t be wearing the. family‘s pants is when she’s in bed.” TWO—The woman who wears nothing but sexy nightgows. 2 MissGottlieb said you can spot her every time by her overuse of perfume, and tendency to flirt with any male she meets. This one, she said, ‘usually winds up with a husband who has a roving eye and can’t be blamed for it.” oS

THREE—THE SEVERELY tailored sleeper, Neat to the point of driving friends and coworkers crazy. Knows where every letter in the office is filed and can tick off the exact dates on which the boss showed up with a hangover. Substitutes gleaming adding machines for Clark Gable in her dreams. FOUR—The lady in the raw. Almost always a frightful mess. Miss Gottlieb said. Can be relied on to drip hairpins over her desk and sift powder in her lunch companion’s soup. Makes a marvelously good natured but not very appetizing wife, Now and then, Dora said, you'll meet that singular woman who’s neat without being oldmaidish, feminine without being cloying. She said you can just bet that’s the girl who switches from pajamas to nightgowns and occasionally sleeps in the mother Eve, just for variety.

Why Dream Up Problems?

By MURIEL LAWRENCE MMY is putting away the dinner silver

when she jerks the drawer closed and demands emotionally, “Mother, if Tommy

Martin asks me to the dance, what do Iwear?” “Why, I don't know, dear,” her startled parent begins. “How about...” “I will not,” declares Emmy: with violence, “wear that putrid blue net of mine again! If father won't let me have a new formal this winter, I think he’s a stingy man! Iwill...” “That will do!” says the wife ot the father, angrily. “That's, no way to talk about your father! If you think this is the way to go about

Two nice people who love each other glare into each other's eyes, across the kitchen table, complétely obvious of the small but essential point that Tommy Martin has not yet extended his invitation to the dance.

SOMETIMES, when young people want something to happen very much, they try to high pressure us into discussing it. as though it were an accomplished fact. And sometimes we fall victim-to this form of youthful auto-suggestion. Instead, we should refuse to become involved in their delusion. We have enough real decisions to make without laying down the law on the proper care of a bicycle that is still in a store— and will. remain there until a birthday -two months hence. x SS BD 1 WE HAVE TO manage enough emotions about real problems without getting steamed up over those the future has not made tangible, shhh "

» s rT

A sense of humor js not amiss in these situations. When we get all tense and solemn about children’s demands for future policies and privileges, we could do worse than remind ourselves and them of the old folk tale about the maid who went to the cellar, and on the way down the stairs, saw an ax. Sinking down on the step, she began to pile one imaginary event upon another until she ended by bursting into tears over the death of a hypothetical baby by a husband who had not yet materialized. .

> @

JUST AS the ax aroused a feeling of menace

in this over-anxious maid, so, for some reason, our Emmy feels threatened. If we understand this, we won't upbraid her, but reassure her that her parents are trustworthy people. } Merely committing ourselves to a promise to produce a dress will not solve our problem of Emmy's "distrust. We will solve it by a long term policy of recalling to her the consistency and love shown in our past record for coming through with the right equipment at the right time. \ If we have sufficient faith in this record ourselves, Emmy will learn to gradually trust it, too, and cease to challenge us on future policies and decisions, : eB Db

PSYCHIATRIST Dr. Erich Fromm says, “Only the person who has faith in himself can be faithful.to others because he only can be

sure he will be the same at some future date a he. is today.” .

& Emmy may think she is seeking a formal dress from us. She isn’t. She is seeking a firmer faith in her mother. Tart is what she needs to allay her fear that she may not be treated justly next week, next month or next year. Reminders of what we have proved in the way of love usually settle the anxiety that upsets the adolescent child, who is torn between the desire to control his own future and his depend-

_ ence on us to finance and support it.
