Every woman loves fashions and this year there is a fashion suited for everyone whether you are short or tall, thin or fat.
This year with softness the key in designing clothes which come alive with a specific personality the moment they are put on, the extreme too-narow sheath will begin to be replaced a little with a skirt which is not quite straight and one which will have an easy slenderness.
One will not be able to give any definite location for the waistline this year for it is "moving." The fashions designed for fall and winter wearing are featuring waistlines from, just under the bosom to a point on the hips.
The high waistline looks its best on the slight, not-too-tall figure while the lower. bloused waistline is for those who are taller than average.
Shoulders will be emphasized a great deal this year with big collars.
Suits are the ever popular, costume for the busy, well dressed woman. This year they will be featured with short jackets which will often be double-breasted. The short jacket suit is especially good for its ability to go from one occasion to another. Also the short jacket suits have a quality which make the wearer look younger. The suit skirts will often be pleated.
Black will be the undisputed color of the year with red as the second most popular color. For the basic all year around color (beige is good. The fabric of all year around wear is jersey.
The new jersey fabrics are more firmly knit which is a great asset in draping and tailoring of the fabric. There is a great variety of textures in this years jersey ranging all the way from the soft smooth surfaces to the bulky novelties and tweed types. The fabrics will be used in almost every apparel due to its versatility.
Deep hoods, draped turbans, softly drooping brims, and big puffball berets will be the style of the hats to be made of soft and furry materials for this seasons wearing.
This year with the Broadway hit "My Fair Lady" inspiring the designs, there seems to be a trend toward returning to the beautiful and move feminine clothes. In keeping with this trend fur hats, collars and pretty scarfs will often be used as complementary accessories for this seasons fashions.
Also taking up the 1912 theme will be the wearing of a muff with almost anything.
Accessories Express Wearer's Personality
Nothing expresses an individuals own personality as well as the type of clothes that they wear. But even more important in establishing this personality is the type of accessories which are worn.
Accessories can make or break your wardrobe—as well as your pocketbook.
It is much better to have a couple well chosen accessories which are distinctive and which really compliment your wardrobe than to have a great number of accessories, none of which really seem to go with anything.
A well chosen pin or costume jewelry will give a simple, basic dress an attractive personality note. For a flattering touch to the neckline of a coat or suit add a pretty scarf which will add distinctive personality value.
For wear with skirts there is an indefinite number of leather belts from which to choose. This year especially popular are the belts which feature imaginative mountings.
Gloves are an important must and this year they will come in assorted fabrics with the Launder-leather being popular.
The sculptured medium heel will be popular in the shoes, with textured leather being popular in the casual shoe.
Facial Treatment Refreshing
If it does then facials are in order. A facial is merely a skin-beauty treatment adapted to your own special complexion needs.
Does your skin need refreshing after its long exposure to the sun this past summer.
One should avoid uptitting astringents, or drying materials on the eye skin or other extremely dry areas. Instead keep these areas covered with rich creams while giving the remainder of the face the treatment.
On areas which tend to have enlarged pores or blackheads or spots which seem to develop shine through your makeup, use penetrating lotions and stimulating cream masks.
There are six steps in the usual facial: cleansing, stimulating, steaming, deep cleansing or mask treatment, lubricating, and toning.
Most people apply the cleansing (type of facial regularly, but have you tried a fresh-air-facial?
Constant coverage with make-up can make a beautiful complexion turn dull and cause it to lose its sparkle. You can give your skin a boost by giving it fresh air.
After cleansing your skin thoroughly with your favorite facial method, slap the skin briskly with a cotton square dipped in skintone lotion. Do not put on any make-up except lipstick. Now take your outdoor exercise or morning walk with your face exposed to a refreshing, and often much needed, air bath.

It's Smart Today But Hideous In Ten Years
A woman's most famous words are, "I haven't a thing to wear. Why, that dress is completely out of style." And men sit silently and shake their heads patiently.
Jones Lavers has this to say about how clothing is regarded in his book "Taste and Fashion."

None of the men admitted to doing all the cooking. Some cooked "only when my wife is ill" or "when we have guests." Others prepared "Sunday breakfast, when I usually feature pancakes," or cooked "as a surprise" or "when I feel like it."
Sixty-four per cent said most of their cooking was of the outdoors type, at barbecue pit or charcoal grill.

"A few of the men report they occasionally help with the dishes," said Mary Murphy, who directed the study. "But we found most of them do a fade-out when it's clean-up time."
NEW YORK—(UP)—American men not only are bringing home the bacon, but in increasing numbers are helping to cook it. What's more, some of them are developing kitchen egos as puffy as a souffle.
Girls, Your Hose Are Talking
Did you ever think that the type of hose that you wear tell what you are doing or where you are going? Fashion experts say that your hose are a dead giveaway.
For those evenings after five you will be wearing filmy bare-heeled hosiery. To emphasize the very feminine and sophisticated look you might have your hose in a gray mist. This combined with the new satin heels in very light colors will complete your costume.
Your' week-end hose contrast very sharply with the "after five" hose. They will be of a light texture and will be bright.
For work the hose still are sheer but they must be sturdy. They may have some color in contrast to both the evening and the week-end hose. With this type of hose you will generally wear the pointed-toed, slim-heeled shoes which have been inspired by the Broadway hit, "My Fair Lady."
More Men Cook Today, Meat Is Their Specialty
A new study on men's role in meal preparation discloses these facts, and also reveals that the masculine willingness to help with dinner ends when dessert is served. The men are as elusive as a wet cake of soap when it's time to do the dishes.
The Borden Co., circulated a questionnaire among 1,000 men from all income brackets, of all ages, and from all parts of the country. All but a baker's dozen of the men were married.
80 per cent Help Shop Of the 700 who answered, 71 per cent said they cook at one time or another. Eighty per cent help with the grocery shopping.
One of the questions was, "Do you believe men can cook as well as women?" Seventy-three per cent said yes. Twenty-six per cent considered themselves better cooks.
80 per cent Help Shop
But most of the men still like their wives cooking—any quips to the contrary.
Only 19 per cent always followed recipes. Sixty per cent liked to improvise. Most of them said they didn't follow a strict food budget, and confessed to a weakness for fancy groceries.

Men Prefer Meat
Many of the men listed foreign dishes as their speciality. One man named pies.
One of the questions concerned the types of food the men preferred to cook. Meats were named by 79 per cent. Other preferences were for eggs, barbecue, salads, fish, soups, game and desserts. Sauces and casseroles came last.
And one man answered, "canned soup."
Shampoo your way to beautiful hair. This is the age of the homemade coif, simple and casual. You can have a lovely hairdo with a little pin-curl know-how.
Hair should sparkle after a proper shampoo. The lack of crimp brings out the natural sheen of your locks. Damp-dry your hair with a Turkish towel, pincurl the ends for a completely casual hairy.
Beautiful Hair Begins With Good Shampoo

A casual wave in your hair, no matter what type of haircut you have, may be achieved this way:
Run the comb down to within several inches of the hair ends swirling in one direction. Then pin curl hair ends in the opposite direction.
Ruth Is A Real Artist With A Blow Torch
NEW YORK—(UP)—By now, Ruth Vodicka can laugh off those comments that she's a girl carrying a torch.
She's been hearing them for 10 years ever since she put on a pair of goggles, picked up a blow torch and began sculpting in metal.
Today, preparing for her first "one man" show at the Associated American Artists galleries in Manhattan, she recalled how her rare career began.
"I got bored being a secretary," said the 35-year-old New Yorkborn artist.
She never formally studied sculpture, or any other form of art. He years at City College of New York were devoted to an accounting major.
Yet, she literally has hammered herself into enough national recognition to demand as much as $5,000 for one of her works.
Her tools are the oxy-acetylene torch, wrenches, pliers, shears,
saws, files, goggles, leather gloves and coverals. And hammers to help shape the bronze, copper, steel or brass which form the sculpture.
"My neighbors say it sounds like the anvil chorus around here," said Mrs. Vodicka as she looked around the big, barren loft which is her studio. "I don't tell them I do use an anvil."
Hers is a hazardous type of art:
Metals are fused at a temperature of about 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mrs. Vodicka began her welding art in the corper of an auto repair shop in what once was known as Holl's kitchen, on the Hudson River waterfront.
