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."
