Diet, Diet, Diet Vacation Food Adds Inches
By GEORGIA WALLACE
Candies, cookies, rich fruit cake delicious turkey and dressing . ah, yes, the holidays are over and the result of all your feasting is a New Year's resolution to try and lose a few of those extra pounds you gained.
You tried to say no, but Mother baked your favorite date-nut loaf . . . and Aunt Sara sent you some of her out-of-this-world divinity . . . and after all, it's Christmas, you rationalized.
But then you noticed that your belt wouldn't pull over to its well-worn notch. So you stepped on the scales. And when you stepped off you knew you had to remove some of that excess circumference.
Now the word reducing is derived from two root words, will and power, pronounced will power. And the first rule in carrying it out is to make up your mind that you're going to lose weight. Next, decide that you want to stop eating so much. Convince yourself that you want to lose weight. So here we go
Now, once you have convinced yourself of these two points, decide that your diet is going to start right now. If it's 3 minutes and 9 seconds past seven, start now. You will decide that you are strongest right now, so make that decision. No last flings are allowed.
The best plan for losing weight is to eat your regular three meals a day, but eat less at each one. Never skip a meal, as your body needs regular nourishment, and besides you'll probably just eat more at the next meal if you do.
Finally, don't think about food. If, in your spare moments and day dreams you start thinking about food, change the subject to something else equally as pleasant, such as clothes or the opposite sex. Thoughts of food will vanish and you won't make yourself hungry. You won't start feeling sorry for yourself and go tripping off to get something to snack on or build up a ravenous appetite for the coming meal.
Four Lads Rise In Popularity
New York —(U.P.) The popularity of the Four Lads, the zany but very music-wise Canadian quartet, reached a new local high in their engagement at the Copacabana night club, just concluded.
The engagement was a reminder that the four first made their bid for big-time attention, after getting a local reputation in and around Toronto, by starting their American career at Le Ruban Bouloums on its agenda. They opened there in a sort of tryout and stayed 30 weeks.
Frank Busseri, Bernie Toorish, Connie Codarini and Jimmy Arnold are the four former choir boys, still in their early 20's, whose distinctive work has made them among the most popular of recording artists and top entertainers on the theater and night club circuits.
A female quartet that is demanding a lot of attention these days is the Chordettes, who now appear on the Robert Q. Lewis TV and radio shows and who used to be featured by Arthur Godfrey.
The current big thing for the Chordettes is a song called "Mr. Sandman." It is one of the biggest novelty hits of the year. It sold 250,000 records in the first five weeks it was on the market. This naturally made the girls one of the most sought-after acts in the country.
"7 Year Itch" Is Still Playing
"The Seven Year Itch." Broadway's longest run play, began its third year in New York Nov. 22. The second birthday occurred on the 837th performance, Nov. 20. During the first two years, George Axenrod's comedy grossed $2,348,-902.63$. A touring company, now in its second year, has grossed $1,255,-902.63$.
What's Happened To Bermuda Shorts
By MARY BESS STEPHENS
What's become of Bermuda shorts? They used to be seen quite frequently, both on male and female figures here on the Hill. They used to be talked about in AWS meetings—people used to wear them to classes, too—but now, what? Only sedate skirts and trousers are seen!
Could it be that old man winter has won a game of freeze out with the garment? Well, it seems that Swiss mountain climbers wear a reasonable faecilemile of the shorts in a leather version, and surely those Swiss Alps are colder than the Hill.
After all the money invested in the petite panties surely they can't just be stashed in a closet and for-gotten. Some girls have them in plaid flannel, and corduroy versions —every material has been used for the shorts except angora, and the way the shorts were selling it wouldn't have been surprising if they hadn't come out in that—but now—where are they?
Could it be that the femme fatales have gone sedate this year—that the casual woman is forgotten?
Long stockings are seen everywhere—those long, long stockings that drive men mad, hiding even a glimpse of a soft young limb—Ah well, how those rosey knees once shone as they peeked between Bermuda short cuff and stocking top!
And the men—could they have suddenly become conscious of muscle legs—too bad. Think how virile they looked—those well displayed gams!
With people going on ski trips, with winter here, with finals coming up, what could be more comfortable than a pair of warm, casual and stylish-looking Bermuda shorts? Aw, come on Jay-hawkers—put 'em on.

Miss McCardell: That's what fashion is—change. But the less pronounced bosom line is more flattering. Some of my models are large bosomed and the new silhouette takes 10 years off their appearance.
Engagements Are Announced
Mrs. John Conway McDevett, a San Diego, Calif., housewife and mother of four: "Why don't designers stop conniving to do something to the feminine figure and do something for it! Flattening all women, regardless of shape or size, into one currently fashionable silhouette is ridiculous." The designer's design requires the 12 model and consider all women, all sizes, ages and figures."
Mrs. Frances G. Altizer, Charleston, W. Va., Red Cross executive: "All of the designers seem to concentrate on the younger woman. I'm not talking about lavender and old lace I'd like something snappy."
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Wortham of Miami, Fla., announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Joyce, to Lynn R. Osborn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hal Osborn of Oklahoma City, Okla.
Miss Wortham is a junior in the School of Fine Arts. She is majoring in occupational therapy. Mr. Osborn is an instructor in the Department of Speech and Drama.
The wedding will take place at 10 am. Saturday, January 29, in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Lawrence.

Many Fashion Questions Answered by Designer
NANNETTE PITMAN
Women complain that designers make too many silhouette changes too frequently; that clothes sometimes seem designed to "make a woman look like a pixie, not a woman"; that women are often the older woman are neglected; and that设计师 should make clothing for all-season wear.
Here are some of the complaints, with answers from designer Claire McCardell, winner of several fashion luxuries, famous for her skill with casual, clothets.
These are some of my complaint voices in a "Why don't they?" check of women in 12 cities. Not a single complained about the cost of clothes.
Mrs. John D. Lodge, well-dressed wife of Connecticut's outgoing governor: "I'd settle for improvement of some of the old-fashioned things. I wished nurses would keep things intimate and make women look like pixies."
New York—(U.P.)—Fashion should do something FOR the figure, not TO it. A talk with some of the nation's most clothes-conscious women shows the gals have a complaint against designers, mostly because of the constant tampering with the silhouette. And one top designer agrees the women have a legitimate "beef."
Miss McCardell: "It's a women's own fault if she looks like a pixie . . . it means she hasn't made up her mind what clothes typed she wants to mind.
rights . . it is a rare manufacturer who cuts youthful clothes in a size 20".
Mrs. Sidney Zell, one of Baltimore's best-dressed women: "Why don't designers give us better cut, better materials and leave off the costly frost-ruot. And those heavy tweeds overpowering for the small figure."
Miss McCardell: "I agree ... leave the design simple and let the woman add her own frills if she wants them.
As for tweeds, this is the season—every manufacturer is making them and only an atomic bomb or some chemical weapon will convince them that tweeds aren't coming to all figures."
Mrs. Harry Anholt, wife of a Denver hotel executive: "Why don't designers give us more all-season clothes. And such materials as white satin and black velvet are impractical and hard to pack."
Miss McCardell: "This isn't all the designer's fault. The fabrics makers figure gray's going to be big . . . so they make thousands of yards of graft. Designers tend to import and order gray because it's plentiful and they can get it first . . . and so start shipping to the stores early.
Mrs. Edward B. Ludwig, New Orleans socialite. "Fashion seems to be created for the short woman only."
Miss McCardell: "She's wrong there, there are plenty of clothes on them. Maybe she does not have the right salesgirl . . . or the right shop."
Miss McCardell: "Well, I for one make all-season clothes. And you can t get around it, some women demand the white satin and black vel-
