Women Can Be Beautiful, But Not in Current Fashions
By John Husar
Tis the middle of spring now, and the run of copy concerning milady's seasonal apparel has spurted through our news columns for better than a month. The effects of this are easily observable.
Fashion, the demi-god and champion of woman's heart, dictates how she is to look, feel and walk more completely than the best attempts of any parent or lover. Some women do have it in them to look like the mythical, but desirable "girl next door." But others persist in dressing as ideas.
The trouble is, the ideas usually emanate from bald-headed, mustachioed, effeminate, little men in Paris, an studios with tastes in beauty perpendicular to those of normal males.
These gentlemen seem to be enjoying a trend toward practicality, issuing raiment designed to cover the busks of well-led womanhood, shoes devised for combative purposes, and cosmetics and strange colors which produce visionary effects similar to those of a battle-bound Arapaho chief.
A common occurrence is the sight of baggy Woman draped in form-less material with an ivy-leagued bow in the back. Shod in long cylinders of leather, spiked at both ends, she lumbers along the boulevard with a smile that is begging to be photographed painted on her grease-based face.
Stimulated by sights of campus dolllies sporting the latest bonanzas in women's tashions, the male mind usually shrinks in horror.
Her smart "rainbow" coiffure lingers in the breeze like a weather vane pointed in all directions. Often souvenir strands of hair can be found glowingly placed on local male objects, the results of religiously-used scalp-drying hairwash.
Fiercely claiming individuality, she is always eager to hop into an intellectual conversation. But first she must remove her loafers to display to the world the fact that she, too, wears bobby-sex.
Ah, yes, our Woman is a sweet
Newest Trend Hi-Fi in Pink
By James Cable
New this year in the world of fashion are tiny little pink hearing aids which are being worn more and more to resort parties by the ladies who really are "in the know," so to speak.
The artificial hearing devices, moderately priced at leading drug stores, feature tiny record players inside. When milady finds a sound she likes, she simply records it, inserts it in her ear phono, turns up the volume, and is completely happy.
The next development will be a jukebox which fits on the bridge of the nose. Then we can say, "Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes, she shall have music, coming out of her nose."
Certain evening clothes—some of the best—are very set in their ways. They demand a special accessory plan.
little thing. Like a little puppy she happily bounds from style to style in a never-ending drive to win applause and solicitude from preferred companions.
She is always one step ahead of Man, who never has had time to adjust to any one style before she bobbed into another. These vicissitudes in habit are disorganizing and frustrating. And some of the products of rapid change are phony and discouraging.
Still when she is with us and her hand is soft and her eyes are frank and deep, we couldn't care what she is wearing, for we know that she has dressed to try and please us. Then, alone, in ginny or silk, she is lovely. And her ludicrous styles are the world's least important cares.

OF PHILADELPHIA
the accent on casual, comfortable neatness in a Dacron and cotton suit that keeps up appearances.
Tailored to wash, hang and wear it has the fine business-like air of a lightweight worsted.

Bermudas Gain Popularity With Masculine Sex
Judging from the plaid pairs already being sported by several daring males, it appears that bermuda shorts are back in full force this season. This daring unveiling of masculine legs just goes to show that men must not be vain creatures after all.
Have Wide Lapels Trimmed Or Wait for Style Change
Men, if your lapels are of the broad variety, take them to the tailor and get them cut down to this season's new narrow look. Of course, you might simply wait a few years and take the coat out of mothballs, because undoubtedly by then the wide look will be back in style.
