And, If they were, most of us would be a sorry look ing lot indeed, for clothes make the woman as well as the man. As I have mentioned before, statis tics show that very few of us are without some failing of face and fig ure, but these deviations generally are easily overcome with proper dress, good make-up and some down-right common sense. The question of how to dress Is Uppermost In most women's minds right at the moment, now that fash ions have taken such a radical turn. Many women are sitting on an imag inary fence wondering Just which way to Jump, so to speak. Some feel they should just ignore fashion dictates, and others are grasping every idea. I Just how far can we go In follow ing the new fashions? I would say, continue to use common sense about I the problem, and do not wear any* I thing in which you don’t feel attrac tive. The big question at the present time is what length of skirt to use I Some of the extremely short women J e llie s M ake C h arm in g C h ristm a s P resent:,!

For those of you who don't have those resources, try a canned or bottled Juice like grape, and make use of the citrus fruits. If you want to do something par ticularly nice, make a few batches of chutney and put them up in small jars. They'll be a welcome addition to anyone's meat course, now that supplies of that food are low and we are trying to use the economical cuts for budget purposes. t 1 Grape Jelly.

LYN N SAYS: These Tips Will Help ■luring the Holidays To peel oranges or grapefruit and free the fruit entirely from the membranes or white pulp under neath the skin, first place the fruit in hot wuter for five minutes. You then will be able to peel every par ticle outside from the fruit pulp Very thin shredded cabbage is easy to make with a vegetable peeler. This type is best for cole ■law If vegetable or cereal burns, plunge the vessel in cold water and let stand a few minutes before re moving contents. This will do away almost entirely with the burned taste. Cabbage can be cut quickly on a coarse shredder. Cut head in half if it's a large one. To save time and dishwashing when you use muffin tins, use paper baking cups in them. They don't need to be greased and muffin tins do not get all crumbed. 2> j(cu„ m i„ n u . ^baytime JL, n„ 3>daJ £ r t t a *J4ateu ■ bcJéëè F ru it F a v o r ite s sewing circle patterns * I t ’s a glittering season, especial ly for your lovely tresses!

Decorative Pigskin Even pigskin gloves, a favorite for campus and casual wear, have taken on a chic look following the new trend toward femininity. A cuff with tan saddle stitching gives a decorative note to these oatmeal-colored pigskin shorties. The gloves also have a pleated vent at the wrist to make them easier to slip on and off.

Now if you're tall with a sway back, don't wear a plain back with front fullness. F ill in the sway with a partial peplum and a bloused back. Even tall girls sometimes have pouchy tummies. In that case, don’t wear a dress with a single file of buttons down the front, or have the sleeves widening at the wrist just where they hit the waist or tummy when the hands are down. Contrast ing belts are out and so is the tight waistline and skirt, a too close hat and a sloping shoulder line. Try to direct the eye sidewards with a diagonal button or trim treat ment. Use well-fitted waistlines, soft blouses and a hemline flare to balance a large middle. You’ll be able to find many of these dressix today. Fashion Pointers For Plump Girls Many plump women have nice shoulders and legs but their “mid dle" is not always as it should be. They are thick-waisted and have a large tummy which should never be dramatized by using bright colors through the mid-section. The first trick is to avoid a tight bodice and the second is to choose a side-clos ing dress with a self belt, prefer ably in a neutral shade. If you have wide hips and plump legs, fashion today is doing every thing to counteract that effect. Don’t introduce too many lines or intricate details into the skirt of the dress, but form narrow panels with a few pointed ups and downs in lines. Balance the silhouette, direct ing attention to the upper part of the body, as to the neck and shoulders. Keep trimmings away from the hips and legs. Is your figure top heavy? Snug fitting bustlines, wide, contrasting sleeves and too-tight skirts will em phasize the figure fault. Use a skirt that gives length and fullness. Use a simple slashed neckline, bloused bodice and slim sleeves. Dress From Underneath To Improve Figure Lines To achieve the proper appearance, most women and even teen-agers have to resort to a foundation gar ment of some kind to give them more proper proportions. When you .buy a garment, select one you like from the standpoint of material and workmanship. Choose one suitable for the purpose you have in m in d - daytime, sportswear or dress—and check your judgment with the sales woman. One of the most important consid erations in a foundation garment is to have it fit comfortably. Also make sure the garment will fill the functional needs required by your age and figure type. Teen-agers Usually want a "refin ing garment.” Abdominal molding is frequently needed; and there may be a definite need to control her mus cular structure. She wants to mini mize the suggestion of a rearward shelf and to eliminate awkward hip motions in walking. The young woman usually has neither of these problems. Her main concerns may be a slightly rounded abdomen and a roll of flesh at the waistline. The bust usually requires suspensory support as well as a de gree of separation best suited to the individual. The mature woman will want to •elect a garment that is somewhat heavier than the other two men tioned above Light boning usually is necessary as it helps to flatten hips and abdomen. The large-figured matron needs still another type of garment. Heav ier boning, both heavier material and elastic and perhaps even lacing are essential to proper foundation for her dress. * * to give her favorite toy a fresh new look. These gay toys require little fabric and are such fun to sew.
