WOMAN'S WORLD
Pastels Vie With Whitesin Bridal Finery
By Ertta Haley
TUCKY is the girl who is being
married thir season, for more
than one reason! Gowns combine
all the lovely, sentimental and ro
mantic trends which have been
making fashion history during the
last few months.
Another reason is that you may
have a dream dress at a price that
is far, far from being a nightmare.
Naturally if you intend to choose a
gown using 25 yards of the finest
organdie or 80 yards of nylon tulle,
the price of the wedding dress will
be understandably high. However,
if you choose a somewhat simpler
gown, there are a number of en
chanting dresses from New York
designers at a “something new” in
cost.
For under $60 there’s a particu
larly heart-melting white imported
organza dress designed with an off-
shoulder ruffle of eyeleted cotton,
snug waistline and a full skirt
lengthened into a generous train.
It comes with its own taffeta slip.
For a little more you may have
an adorably young, puff-sleeved
white satin dress, high waisted and
frilled with Swiss organdie below a
flesh-toned yoke of nylon tulle. It,
too, has a wide train.
Choose “Something Blue”
In Wedding Gown
This year’s bride may want to
choose as “something blue” her
own gown. Pearly white satin has

lost none of its appeal for brides,
but for those who prefer a pastel,
the girl may choose an ice blue or
a blush pink, both of which are
very attractive. Both of these colors
have been recently introduced in
a lightweight but highly lustrous
summer satin. Lace combined with
satin, all cotton lace in a Chantilly-
like pattern, marquisette and or
gandie are other fabrics of import
ance throughout New York collec
tions.
Crisp, rather than frothy or ethe
real is a dress of snowy pique, the
gathered skirt fully trained and the
bodice sleeved to points over the
wrist. Framing the wide-spreading
V-neckline is a deep bertha-like
collar echoing the decor on the
skirt.
Interest Shown
In Sleeves, Yokes
Many designers sponsor cap and
puffed sleeves in their bridal fash
ions. In most instances, however,
matching mitts or gauntlets go
along, leaving little of the arm
bare. An exception to this is the
beautiful hoop-skirted white satin
dress with bell-puffed sleeves,
meant to be worn with short, white
gloves.
Here’s a stunning capelet-
sleeved princesse white satin
bridal dress from the spring
and summer collection of a
New York designer. The bodice
is yoked with a marquisette and
richly embroidered with seed
pearls and iridescent paii-
ettes, and buttons in back. Sat
in gauntlets are embroidered
at the top.
Yokes, frequently defined with
ruffling of lace or eyeleted organdie,
give a demure touch to many of
the new bridal dresses. The yoke in
some cases is done in pale blue or
flesh-colored nylon or net rather
than the traditional white.
Full Skirts Featured
In Bridesmaid’s Dress
Simple designing marks the
bridesmaid’s dress this year. This
does not mean, however, that it’s
in any way an ugly duckling. With
full, charming skirts, scooped or
wide-open necklines and sash waist
lines, these gowns are very roman
tic looking. One in light blue com
bines plain and eyeleted organdie
and has a small ruffled apron over
its skirt.
Perfect for a garden wedding is
a hoop-skirted, floor length dress in
green and lavender plaided cotton
with a matching cartwheeL
Can look lovelier than ever.
Snug bodices, very wide skirts
with wide sashes, appliqued flow

bridesmaid’s dresses.

THE READER'S COURTROOM-
Can't Collect Bargain Damages
May a Shopper Collect
Damages if Knocked Down
At a Bargain Sale?
A dry goods store ran a month-
end sale on bed linen, and got re
sults far exceeding its fondest
hopes. A huge crowd gathered and
began milling around. Women
screamed, fainted and even
climbed up onto the counter! Dur
ing the excitement, one housewife
was knocked down a stairway.
-By Will Bernard, LL.B.-
Though not badly hurt, she deter
mined to sue the store for damages.
She claimed that the company
should have taken special measures
to prevent this kind of accident.
However, the court rejected her
suit. The judge pointed out that the
store had no reason to expect such
a violent response to the sale!

May a Child Collect Damages
If Hurt in a Revolving Door?
A young boy suffered a sprained
wrist when he caught it in the re
volving door of a hotel. His par
ents sued the management’ on the
boy’s behalf, claiming that such a
door was dangerous because it was
so tempting to children. They in
sisted that the hotel ought to have
a guard posted by the door—and to
have It locked when the guard
wasn’t there. However, the court
rejected their claim. The judge
aaid it wasn't fair to the hotel.
Is a Fire Engine Driver
Liable for Reckless Driving?
On the way to a fire, a fire en
gine sideswiped a parked taxicab.
The cabbie was injured, and later
sued the fire engine driver for
damages. The fireman protested
that he was not personally respon
sible for something that happened
in the course of his urgent public
duty. However, the court ruled that
was no excuse and held him liable,
for reckless driving.
Is a Beekeeper Responsible
If His Bees Attack a Mule?
A farmer set up a beehive along
side his back fence, right close to
the favorite grazing spot of his
neighbor’s mule. One hot day the
bees lit out after the mule and
stung him so badly that he died.
When the neighbor sued for the
value of the beast, the farmer
protested that he was not to blame
for what his bees had done. How
ever, when he admitted that the
same bees had once attacked his
own mule too, the court decided to
hold him responsible. The judge
said that, since the farmer knew
his bees were vicious, he should
not have stationed them so close to
the neighbor’s animal.
ding, it’s the wise bride who goes
on a beauty ritual before the wed
ding. She may be perfectly lovely,
but a few beauty routines followed
faithfully for a week or 10 days be
fore the wedding when her days are
hectic, will give her good groom
ing as well as confidence.
Properly chosen food, rest and
cleanliness will assure her of a
healthy, wholesome look for her
wedding day. These will be bene
ficial for all-over beauty, especial
ly for preventing the skin from
breaking out all of a sudden from
too much rich food during bridal
showers!
No matter how busy her program,
the bride-to-be should plan to get
her full quota of eight hours sleep.
If she can’t manage this every
night, she should take an hour or
two for a nap during the day. No
bride should appear at her own
wedding with dark circles under
shining eyes!
A daily tubbing will take care of
cleanliness, but special attention
should be directed to the face, arms
and legs, especially if the skin is
dry. Use a cleansing or lubricating
cream if the skin is dry, and do
this treatment faithfully.
Lovely wash fabrics such a*
the many fine cottons are tak
ing novel turns in the current
skirt blouse styles, and nearly
all of them are designed with
variety in mind. In the model
sketched, stunning appliqued
flowers of the same white as
the blouse become even more
flattering with quilting. The
skirt is' worn with or without
the pretty weskit, according to
your mood. Another idea that
is extremely popular is the
skirt with a wide, matching
sash which can double as a
stole or a cleverly draped hal
ter, according to need.
KATHLEEN NORRIS
Youthful Errors Leave Scars
TWENTY YEARS ago a certain
'*■ girl went off on a motor trip
with a college friend;, she was
19, the boy-friend was 22. Both
were living on money sent by
self-denying and hardworking par
ents, month after month, so that
the girl and boy might acquire a
real education, culture and the
benefits of social contacts in a
wider world.
The motor trip lasted five days.
For those five days, and they
weren’t by any means days of un
clouded happiness, the girl threw
away her honor. It seemed fun to
register as Mr. and Mrs.; it seemed
fun to spend his last $19 of allow
ance and the $10 she had borrowed
from a sorority sister on the de
lights of little wayside meals and
overnights at the picturesque mo
tels of Southern California. A “mo
tel” is an informal one-story hostel
ry, and at many of them guests are
not too closely questioned as to age
or relationship.
This girl was a sensitive, well-
bred, proud young thing, who
came to me a few months after this
brief interval ended, half-mad with
self-contempt and shame. No, she
was not going to have a baby; the
escapade hadn’t left that scar.
Tortured with Remorse
But she was writhing under the
burning misery of knowledge far
too old for her 19 years. Knowledge
that the boy hadn’t taken the affair
seriously at all. Knowledge that
what she had thought a generous
surender had only been a cheap
yielding to his casual importunity.
Knowledge that many of her col
lege associates suspected what had
occurred, and the nicest of them
couldn’t help showing that they
didn’t like it—or her.
When a telegram came from a
all their lives their mother has
been building their characters with
talk of self-control and purity and
goodness. And in all these years,
back in her own consciousness, has
been the knowledge that some
where in the world there lives a
man who knows just how weak and
gullible she was when she was a
girl.
No man, in the honorable and
consciencious beginnings of his
business life, likes to remember
that when he was in high school, he
used to slip his hand into the pock
ets of coats hanging up in the
schoolhouse hall, and take what he
found. No man likes to remember
the time he lied flatly—and success
fully!—about cheating in the finals
in his Freshman year.
The chance that got him out of
a disgraceful night-club raid, while
the other fellows had to face the
publicity and scandal of it, isn’t
anything to be proud of, in later
life. These ghosts of past follies
and young sins rise to haunt us and
to jar our self-respect and sense of
security in later years.
This is so of all schoolday mis
takes. Untruths that got someone
else into trouble. Small thefts and
forgeries. The abandoning of friends
when one might make a safe es
cape from trouble and leave them
behind. Cruelty to a devoted mother.
And more than all these—these
little foxes that gnaw and gnaw
through our memories is the know
ledge in a girl’s heart that in her
unthinking girlhood, she threw
away something that meant noth
ing to her casual lover, but so
much more to herself than she
ever dreamed.
For that particular relationship,
to a girl, is the very key to her
whole life. It is the key to honor,
dignity, wifehood, position, home,
children. It means these things to
her, whether she quite knows it
or not at 18.
. . , taking another girl about ...
sick mother this girl returned glad
ly to her Iowa home. The boy had
long since shown his complete in
difference and was taking another
girl about. Our girl—call her Anne
—felt a deepened shame when she
realized that he was the sort of
boy who might under certain cir
cumstances boast of his conquests.
Well, she went home and became
a domestic angel. She saw her
mother through a long illness, kept
house for an adoring father and
two small brothers, filled to the
brim her obligations as daughter,
sister, friend, and eventually wife
and mother. She married with dig
nity, with position and modest
wealth, and with true love. Her
husband never has had a suspicion
of her early mistake.
Can’t Escape Selves
So what? What’s the moral? The
moral lies in Anne’s own heart.
Every cheap, dishonest, vulgar
careless thing we do in youth is
stored away in our consciousness
and in our characters. We can’t
escape ourselves, even though we
escape everyone else. Probably the
arrogant boy who made love to her
20 years ago hasn’t suffered; he
was made of coarser clay. All col
leges have scores of boys of this
type; unscrupulous, attractive, sure
of themselves and neither know
ing or caring what results from
their love affairs.
But Anne is finely constructed;
she is sensitive to her fingertips.
Her daughters are 16 and 9 now,
and there is a son in between, and
Koreans Run
Thieves Mart
Seoul Natives Sell
Variety 'Hot' Items
SEOUL, KOREA.—Any modest
sized American department store
would be envious of the thieves’
market in this capital city with its
variety of goods ranging from
surgeon’s scalpels to G.I. uniforms.
With a sly grin the native calls it
“our Korean P.X.”
The market, which is stuffed
with goods obtained mainly through
questionable channels, is made up
of hundreds of wooden stalls on a
muddy, twisting side alley almost
a pule long.
The American influence on this
little community of “hot” goods is
plainly evident. The three years
of American military government
combined with the large civilian
personnel still here has been the
market’s best source of supply.
The market, whose merchants
operate on the basis of “you name
it; we have it,” or “if not, we can
get it,” is glutted with medicines,
shoes, toilet articles, civilian and
GI clothes, plaster pin-up girls,
and almost anything else you can
think of.
The market has grown into quite
a little industry with its own dye
ing and tailoring concerns. It ia
only a matter of hours until a “hot”
man’s suit can be tailored over into
a woman’s garment and dyed a
different color.
Another favorite pastime of the
local slippery finger men is the
lifting of automoblie headlights,
provided they can’t make off with
the vehicle. But those thieves spe
cializing in the automobile trade
apparently are imbued with a cer
tain amount of community con
sciousness and need for safety on
the roads at night. They invariably
remove only one headlight

1 ■ H rs ,
Replace Father
By Lawrence Gould
Can mother take father’s place?
Answer: No, however hard she
may try, and however relieved
father may be by the thought of
dumping his responsibilities onto
her shoulders, says Dr. Edward A.
Strecker, author of “Their Mothers’
Sons.” For the fact remains that
mother is a female, and a child
must learn to grow up in a world
that’s male AND female. “Your
son needs a man around whom he
can imitate. You want him to
glory in physical strength, learn
to be aggressively fearless, re
sourceful, protective—in short, mas
culine. He will not learn that from
his mother.”
Are nicknames bad for
children?
Answer: There is no essential
difference between a nickname
and a “real” one if it is the name
which the child comes to recog
nize as meaning himself. I know
two or three men who would
scarcely know whom you were
speaking to if you addressed them
by the names that are recorded on
their birth certificates, and I can
not see it has made any difference
to them. But to give a child a
nickname that seems "cute” while
he’s a baby but will sound ridicu
lous as he grows older may make
his developing a normal self
esteem needlessly hard.
Do longer boors mean getting
more work done?
Answer No, say statisticians of
the U. S. Bureau of Labor, report
ing a survey of 2445 male and 1060
female workers in 34 different in
dustrial plants in this country.
“Generally speaking, the study in
dicates that, everything else being
equal, the 8-hour day and 40-hour
week are best in terms of effi
ciency and absenteeism, and that
higher levels of hours are less
satisfactory.” Longer hours not
only mean more time lost through
absence from the job, but bring
about a marked rise in both the
number and frequency of accidental
injuries.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Causes and Treatment of Hives
By Dr. James
W HEN HIVES (urticaria) occurs,
the first thought naturally is
to relieve the itching and burning,
but there are so many substances
that can cause'hives that we must
try to find the cause as soon as
possible.
Thus, as certain foods are often
to blame, the first method of treat
ment is to give an emetic to induce
vomiting, such as a teaspoon of
mustard in half a glass of water.
If the food has been in the body for
some time, then a dose of castor
oil or Epsom salts should be taken.
The drug most commonly used to
relieve symptoms is the injection
of 10 to 15 minims (drops) of ad
renalin under the skin.
While cleansing out the stomach
and intestine and the injection of
adrenalin (epinephrine) give al
most immediate relief from the
itching and burning, it should be
remembered that the system has
received a shock and needs rest in
bed, with liquid food for a day or
two.
When hives are over the entire
W. Barton
body, baking soda, which is always
soothing to the inflamed skin, is
effective—a cupful in the regular
bath or half a cup in the wash tub.
After drying, touching the hives
with baking soda talcum or flour
prolongs the relief.
While the above treatment gives
considerable relief in all cases, tha
cause of the hives should be sought
so that chronic hives or frequent
attacks of hives can be prevented
by avoiding the foods, drugs and
other substances found to be the
cause or causes.
In addition to these causes, it is
now known that just as emotional
disturbances can increase the heart
rate, raise the blood pressure,
cause stomach upsets and diar
rhoea, so can they cause hives and
other eruptions of the skin.
One of the substances manufac
tured by the body tissues is histam
ine, a factor associated with al
lergic symptoms including hives.
For this reason what are known as
antihistamine drugs, such as bena-
dryl, are used to treat hives.
HEALTH NOTES
Because tuberculous glands in
children appear to be a forerunner
of tuberculous meningitis, some
physicians prescribe streptomycin
in such tuberculosis cases.

Insulin has kept many diabetics

majority to attain the age they

New Plastic Foam
Used in Insulation
Material Is Called
Lightest of Solids
The world’s lightest solid an
amazing plastic foam that swells
up when baked like a cake to 100
times its original volume—has been
developed by Westinghouse scien
tist for use as a new insulating ma
terial.
The new product is expected to
find its way into many uses in ap
pliances used in farm homes and
about the farm.
Even lighter than some gases, the
new material weighs from 10 to 20
times less than the fluffy meringue
on a well-baked pie.
Robert F. Sterling, 29-year-old
chemist, and the man chiefly re-
Shown here is a refrigerator
completely insulated with the
new plastic - foam insulation
material. This is the way the
refrigerator looked after the
insulation job was done, but
before door liner and other
parts were put back in place,
sponsible for the new product, said
it is the result of a three-year
search for an effective insulating
material that will fill large areas,
jret weigh “next to nothing.”
The foam is made by heating a
molasses-like synthetic resin at
about 350 degrees Fahrenheit until
it expands to 100 times its original
volume, then solidifies. Thousands
of gas bubbles entrapped in the
foam “buoy” it up and give the
plastic its lightness.
Foamed into pre-fabricated metal
wall sections, a two-inch thick lay
er weighing only 300 pounds would
be enough to insulate a complete
six-room house. Sterling said.
Resistant to fire, moisture, fun
gus growth and insects, the foam is
low enough in cost to be practical
for many applications and uses,
the scientist said.
Not only do imprisoned air bub
bles give the new plastic great
lightness, but they also provide it
with its excellent insulating quali
ties. So-called “dead air” is one of
the best insulators known among
commonly available materials,
Sterling said.
Cover That Cough
-CMOOf
“Cover that cough, smother that
sneeze” is not only good advice for
people in public places. It has prac
tical meaning in the cowbam, too.
Danger that coughing cattle may
spread respiratory infections to
their stablemates is highlighted in
a research report from the Ameri
can Veterinary Medical associa
tion.
The report describes an unusual
case of tuberculosis of the eye in
a heifer. A tuberculosis cow with a
bad cough, stanchioned next to the
heifer, is believed to have spread
the disease.
AVMA points out that this case
occurred in England, where bovine
tuberculosis is widespread. Al
though tuberculosis has been re
duced to a minimum in United
States herds, coughers and sneezers
are nevertheless a menace because
they may spread all kinds of res
piratory infections. Isolation of any
animal showing respiratory symp
toms is urged, therefore, to protect
the rest of the herd.
Field Mice Destructive

Untold damage is done each year
