Gloria Etumatz, a fashion student, designed it. The material is :halk-white rayon crepe. When worn as evening gown, pictured at left, the gown has its detached sleeves pushed lown like long gloves, and the drape crosses over in front and falls softly over shoulder. This drape is swept down md around in back to form a train, sleeves are smoothed up, bertha is added — and there, when the traditional reil is added, is the bridal costume, shown at right.—.

In the list of qualifications for women who will be taken into the women’s army there is no men tion of a sense of humor being essential. Nevertheless, it’s a quality need ed by the girl who wants to join up. For it’s going to take America some little time to get uesd to having women in the army. Where the idea is still new, it’s going to call forth a lot of razzing. “Tak ing it” may be one of the fem inine volunteers’ hardest jobs. That uniform, for instance. It’s likely to inspire j whistles for a1 while, until its Ruth Millett novelty has worn ott. And families aren’t going to take the girl volunteer quite as seriously as they take their sons who are getting into uniforms. Can’t you just hear kid brothers all over the country saying, “Cut it out, Sis. Ever since you started wearing that uniform you have been trying to act like a top ser geant.” For a while every other humor ous cartoon will have a girl in uniform in it, and radio comedi ans will get their laughs at the expense of tne women’s army. That’s the way it will be for a while, and the girl whose sense of humor isn’t as broad as her mind is high won’t enjoy it. So, if you can’t take a little kid ding, young ladies, you had better stick to teaching school or work ing in a beauty shop. At least you had better wait until the country gets used to hav ing its women as well as its men in uniform. It won’t take long. And, when the laughs have sub sided, the wonder will probably be that we never had women, uni forms and all, in the army before. That’s the way it is whenever women try something new.

Spotlight Boys Turn On The Heat Editor’s Note: We asked some of our most dazzling male celebri ties to comment on women’s fash ions and makeup. Here’s the re sult: FRED ALLEN (Stage, Screen, Radio): “In this open - toed, wedgy . wacky world, nothing I could say about women’s fashions or makeup would help the sartor ial nightmare. A battalion of men could shout protests 24 hours a day in 4 - hour shifts over every radio station in the country and the girls would continue to paste on thread eyebrows, celluloid fin gernails and silk fringe eyelashes with all the enthusiasm of a man sticking one-cent stamps on a ten dollar parcel post package.” GUY LOMBARDO (Orchestra Leader): ‘‘I think tall women should dress ‘tall’ — wear high hats with tall feathers if they feel like it and high-heeled shoes. If short women try to look tall and vice versa—which seems to be the theory of some style writers — they’d all end up looking alike, and that would be monotonous.” TED HUSING (Radio Star); “I think there’s a place for both the suave and the simple in femi nine fashions. Simplicity duriug the day—sophistication at night. Summer prints with small hats or calots are attractive for daylight. By the same token, makeup should be sparing in daylight hours—dar ing at night.” FREDDIE MARTIN (Orchestra Leader); “I’ll be honest. I’ve only become fashion-conscious since I started my engagment at the swank Waldorf . Astoria. One change I’ve noticed is a trend to ward simplicity, less frills on hats, dresses and shoes. Of course I think it’s important for women to look their best these days, and the new styles add rather than detract from their appearance.” BOB HAWK (How’m I Doing?): “If women would dress to please men instead of vying with each other, they’d be a lot more attrac tive. Men like simple clothes that show off carriage, poise and fig ure! We don’t like a lot of frills and folderol that give a girl a figure nature never intended.” MARK WARNOW (Orchestra Leader): ‘If it’s red, it’s in the fashion groove for me. From what I’ve seen, today’s styles seem high lighted with torrid colors. Maybe it’s the South American influence, maybe it’s just that tht ladies, bless ’em, are all out for morale boosting and realize that bright colors are as good a way as any to lift the spirits.” PHIL BAKER (Comedian): “This freezing order on women’s clothes leaves me cold! Do they mean to say that we’ve got to keep looking at the same goofy headgear the girls are wearing this spring for the duration? And what about those slacks, without enough slack to ’em? Of course, the skirt length is another matter—go on, ask me what I think about that. That’s the $64 question.” OLE OLSON (Sons O’ Fun); “I like more femininity and less mas culinity in a woman.” LOU HOLTZ (Stage . Screen Comedian): “I don’t like a wo man with a run in her stocking and 1 like ’em better in riding habits than any other costume.” WILLIAM GAXTON (Broadway and Hollywood): “I don’t like them in slacks and I like them in negli gees.” VICTOR MOORE iThe Timid Soul of Comics): “I would like to be sure it’s a woman when she’s walking down the .street. I don’t like short skirts on long women.” EDDIE DAVIS (Night Club Own er): “I don’t think any girl can look like a fashion plate in a hat that looks like a blueplate. I like slacks on women like Katherine Hepburn but I don’t like them on women like Mae West. Girls with curves look anything but neat when they retreat in trousers.” JACK DEMPSEY (Fistic Res taurateur): “Good colors, good lines, clothes so simple and smart they take on the personality of the wearer. The kind of clothes that make you say “What a pretty girl” rather than ‘What a pretty out fit’.” EZRA STONE (Henry Aldrich): “I like my gals feminine, prefer fluffs and frills to uniforms. May be that’s because I see so much of it in the Army and it’s a relief to see a pretty girl dressed in com pletely feminine clothes.” 3 p -:-Beauty___ The SEAMY Side Of Life Wide World Features If you want to keep your boy friend looking your way or keep the husband happy, gals, just take these two beauty tips: Keep your stocking seams straight and your nose powdered. All the other contraptions, gad gets, paints, wires, brushes, mops, springs, coal tar products and whatnots are apt to annoy him more than amuse him. Of course, a little is okay. But just take it easy. Remember, the Indians used to put on the war paint too, and look what happened to the Indians. So, if you want to get your man —and hold him—lend a pearly ear and bright eye for a minute. Honestly, now, would you like to pucker up and find yourself in a clinch with a combination drug-store counter, chalk mine, grease g un and paint company testing ground? But since you’re still going to do what you’ve always done, anyway, don’t do it while said boy friend is in spyglass range. If you want to see his bright smile fade and that youthful twinkle vanish, let him catch you with a mudpack on, while the curlers are in, or make with the mascara or lipstick on the sofa. First thing you know, he’ll be talking about the weather. Also, don't ask him whether he likes the way you’re fixed up. You weren’t born yesterday, sister, told besides, why go making lights? And brother, if you’re listening, l RITA HAYWORTH keeps stocking seams straight—she Faints ’em on! don’t you answer her. They’re still not air - conditioning do g houses. 5 Fruits Make A Good Substitute For Sugar-Consuming Desserts By MRS.
