Women Of Today Too Big, Too Wide To Adopt Flapper Figure of 1920s New York. Feb. 7 U.M To day's woman had better forget the "flapper" look. Her feet are too big. her neck is too long, her hips are too wide and her shoulders are too square. Besides, the men don't like it. So advised Beauty Expert Ann Delafield today. That Is Bad Miss Delafield. director of the Richard Hudnnt beauty salon and the Du Barry Success school, said the flapper era fad of the 1920s was becoming "rampant." She said 80 of every 100 women had succumbed to the boyish fig ure and the mannish hairdo. That, she said, is bad. "In the first place," she said, "the woman of today cannot hope to look like the flapper of the '20s. They are dainty, small boned. Today's woman is much bigger. The women of the '20s looked horrible enough. Today, with bigger feet, hips, shoulders, busts and a longer neck, she looks worse. "Once women start looking like men, they start acting like them. They select mannish look ing suits, wear flat heels. In short, they lose their feminin ity." Stick To Curves ' Miss Delafield, who claimed 1.000.000 home course pupils, said she received hundreds of letters from husbands through- Contest To Help Philippine School Restore Library For the past three years, the Medford junior high school has aided the Pangasiman provincial high school of Lingayen, Phil ippine islands, by sending it text books, magazines and other edu cational material. This project has had more than ordinary in terest for Medford teachers and students since one of Medford's teachers, Miss Ruth Ella Dicker son, at one time taught in the school. The Pangasinan high school no longer needs help, but another war-devastated Philippine school, the Badian provincial high school of Badian, Celiu, Philippine islands, has asked the junior high school faculty and student body to help replenish its high school library. The idea has been enthusiastically re ceived and a committee of teach ers and students has worked out a plan for carrying it into effect. Will Be Contest The project will be conduct ed as a contest between home rooms of the school, the room, contributing the most in books or money to be given a treat or special award. i Books donated must be in good condition and suitable for a school library. Money will be used to pay for subscriptions to good magazines or to purchase new books. The cost of transport ation from San Francisco will be borne by the Philippine gov ernment, so practically all col lections will go to the direct aid of the Badian school. It is hoped that parents and other patrons of the school will cooperate with the students of the junior high school in making this worth while project a success. The contest began Monday, February 6 and will close Friday out the nation, begging her not to be swayed by the trend and to stick to "curves and curls." "The pleas were so strong," Miss Delafield said, "that I was prompted to investigate the mat ter a little further. I polled a score of prominent men to learn what they thought the woman of tomorrow should look like." Type Advocated The men. according to Miss Delafield, said the woman of the future should look like Model Pat Reed of Kansas City, who is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, has a 35-inch bust. 23-inch waist and is 34 inches at the hips. She also has blue green eyes and medium-length red hair. "That's the type of girl I'm going to advocate," Miss Dela field said, "no matter what the fashion experts say. After all, it's more important for women to suit the men than other women."
