• * * ■ >v : : THE r. NEWBERRY. S. C. WOMAN’S WORLD Beauty Can Be Achieved by Pointing up Good Features , By Ertta Haley W OMEN WHO really care how they look can really achieve true beauty. This does not come from hit and miss care or snap judgements on choice of clothing. It’s the result of careful study of your good points as well as weak ones, then playing down one fea ture while pointing up another. Many women say they are con fused by all that’s offered them in the way of clothing, they don’t know what they should choose. You can easily learn principles and then study them in relation to yourself bfor most effective application. It sometimes helps to know why you should not wear certain hats or dresses, because this helps you re member them and also teaches you to look for certain details which will help dramatize best features. Certain styles of hats and dresses are good for all face and figure types, but naturally they must be worn differently so they can look their best. The same applies to colors. Blue, for example has been called the American woman’s best color, be cause whether you are redhead, brunette, blonde, gray, white or in- Serviceable Cloth £LAa Let hairdo and hats between, you can safely choose it. However, to be most effective, you should be able to choose the best shade of blue for your particular coloring. There’s an answer, too, for those with real problems that clothing and proper choice of jewelry can answer. The scarred neck can be covered easily, as can the lined throat. Prominent neckbones can be hidden with the correct jewelry and neckline. Such beauty debits as freckles are easily minimized, and sallow com plexions can be improved with prop er attention to color. Whatever the problem, there’s an answer for you. Hate Need Fitting To Face aad Flgare Hats should be chosen to suit both face and figure, as well as the clothes with which they’re to be worn. You may want to observe the effects of the hat closely in a small mirror, but the final choice should always be made after you’ve seen how it looks in the full length mir- . tor. Those with a very narrow silhouette should not give the ap pearance of toppling over with a gigantic hat. Better balance can be achieved in the small or medium brimmed hat. The large hats should be chosen to go with the somewhat full skirts as they look too disproportionate with skimpy, short or narrow skirts. Skirts may be worn slightly longer with the large brimmed hats to give smarter appearance. Tablecloths that combine new service and beauty are now be ing made of a vinylite plastic film that is colorfully printed to give the appearance of fine block linen. These win cut down summer launderings because they can be kept clean easily and quickly by sponging, and need no ironing. Two popular sixes in red, green, yellow, blue, plum, chartreuse and grey are available. One of the smartest ways to de cide what hats or clothing are right for you is to pick those which do for you what face or figure does not. A good example of this is in sloping shoulders. The hat should have some upward movement to counteract the slope in the shoulder. Wearing a soft hairdo will help, too. Avoid the severe hair dress and mushroom-brimmed hat that only accent shoulder sag. Most women can wear berets, but the style should be chosen carefully. An older woman or one with a large nose looks stunning in profile types now shown. If you’re tall, have one that’s worn flat and forward to cut down height. Those who are young and short wear them best to the back of the head. Brimmed hats, no matter how accent your best features. handsome, should never be set on uncovered ears. Soften them by placing a curl or cluster of curls at ears, or place a bow which fits near the ear on the hat. Complexion Helps Determine Best Color For You Those who have coarse complex- ioned skins should soften the harsh THE READER'S COURTROOM No Seats No Excuse for Suit -By Will Bernard, LL.B. May a Train Passenger Collect Damages because He Could Not Find a Seat? A feeble old man boarded an in- terurban train, only to find that all the seats were taken. When the conductor came by to collect fares, the man complained—but to no avail. Reluctantly, he paid for his ticket and stood up throughout the trip. Utterly exhausted by the or deal, he later sued the railroad for damages. The court agreed that a railroad ought to provide a seat *or every passenger. However, the judge turned down the old man’s claim on the ground that he had “waived his rights” by staying aboard the train. The judge said that if he wanted to sue, he should have refused to pay his fare and gotten off at the first stop. • • • Does a Divorcee Lose Her Alimony if She Remarries? After several years of unhappy married life, the wife of a contrac tor went to court and got a divorce. She also was awarded weekly ali mony payments ‘‘until further order of the court.” Some time later, the woman remarried — this time choosing a laborer who was hardly making a living for himself. The contractor promptly asked the court to stop his alimony pay ments, but the judge refused to do so. The judge said that remarriage alone wasn’t enough to end the woman’s right to alimony. It was also necessary, the judge ruled, that the second husband be able to support his wife properly. If he ’ couldn’t, said the judge, the first husband just had to keep on pay- ls It “Kidnaping" For a Father To Take His Child Away From the Mother? A husband and wife had a bitter quarrel, and decided to separate. Before parting, they agreed that their seven-year-old son should re main with his mother. A few months later, the man decided he had made a bad bargain in giving up the child. One day he went to the house and, over his wife’s vio lent protests, took the child with him. An alarm was sent out and die man was soon picked up on a charge of kidnaping. However, a court ruled that he was not guilty. The judge said that, unless de prived of his child’s custody by ac tual court order, the father had just as much right to the boy as the mother had. May a Lawyer Play Upon the Sectional Feelings of the Jury? A southern woman owed some money to a large New Jersey cor poration. After collection efforts had failed, the company filed a lawsuit against the woman. At the trial, her lawyer made an impas sioned plea to the jury on behalf of his client ‘T appeal to you as southern gentlemen,” he cried, “to rule in favor of this southern wom an—and against this soulless cor poration from the North!” But the court declared that this line of argument was improper, and or dered the jury to disregard it. The judge said that the lawyer should not try to win his case by appeal ing to the sectional feelings of the jury. effect of their skin by wearing soft, in-between shades. It’s best to avoid brilliant colors right next to the face, as well as hat materials like rough straw which will only em phasize the coarseness. Too delicate materials will give the same effect as too harsh colors and materials. Cute bows and trim mings, brilliant flowers and metal lic trimmings should be eliminated from hats. Sallow-complexioned individuals should also avoid harsh colors. Col ored veiling is excellent for min imizing this fault, and so are muted shades of dusty rose, gray, pale yellow, green and gray-blue. You can well imagine what effect polka dots have if the face is freckled, but also to be avoided are anything which might suggest or accent freckles such as flower cen ters and perforated bags and other accessories. Freckles are less no ticeable if you wear plain materials. If you must wear figured materials, choose stripes. If you’re blonde, feminine, with hazel eyes and the pink and white complexion, you have few worries. Stay with feminine clothing, but avoid frills or fuss. With chestnut hair and brown eyes, you can wear daring color combinations and choose those which are vivid and striking. Pale, in-between colors will age or sober you too much. When you have good gray or blue eyes and want to dramatize them. place matching or lighter blue next to the face. If the eyes are dull, use a deeper blue shade. Too much eye make-up and too bright colors should be discarded. Normalise Necklines With Proper Apparel Anything which would emphasize thinness is to be avoided if the neck is long and thin. These include V- shaped necklines, curls piled high on the head, tight, narrow waves, or highly perched hats. Try to get whjth in the hairdo by smoothing the crown and having curls at either side. Have hats that cover the head, forehead, ears and back of the neck so the thin neckline can be broken. Circular hair arrangement, yokes and full gathered bodices are on the taboo list if the neck is short and thick. Open necklines, simple bodice lines and tapered effects in the hairdo will counteract the short look. Jewelry at the neck can be of great help for heavy necklines. Tight chokers, naturally, are to be avoid ed, but pearls or beads that are graduated to form an oval, espe cially when worn with a simple V neckline, can be very effective. Short bobs or up-swept hair ar rangements will make scrawny necks look all the more so, while soft, long bobs break the long look. In clothing choose dresses that are built high; in sun or evening apparel avoid the open, strapless tops and use wide straps. BCH1PTURE: I King* 17-1®; 21. DEVOTIONAL READING: f»salm 27. God Give Us Men! Lesson for August 6, 1950 KATHLEEN NORRIS Pretend Fickle Lover Is Dead L INETTE ROY is 34. Her young er years were spent in the care of invalid parents, and in holding a responsible post-office job, which she still has. Two years ago she met one Robert Francis, a medical student two years younger than herself. Robert also had had fam ily responsibilities, and was only as far as his first year in medicine. He has now been obliged to inter rupt his studies, and is driving for a doctor in a city some 300 miles away, hoping to save enough to get started in another year. Robert gave Linette her first thrilling love affair. To her, hard working, conscientious, lonely, it was a miracle of delight. To have a fine man’s companionship, to talk over their respective trials and responsibilities, to listen to his first words of admiration, and to feel her own heart .respond—well, perhaps only a woman placed as Linette was knows what that means. They were never formally en gaged. But they became lovers, Robert using the old arguments of appealing to her trust, her belief in his promises. Linette was not a girl in years then, but she was completely inexperienced, her father was dead, her invalided old mother was far past the point of advising. On the contrary, she .. . her first thrilling love affair . . . had returned to childishness, and Linette had to make her own deci sions. Carried off her feet by the passion and ecstasy that had come too late to her, she gave way to the emotions that are too strong for almost any woman so ignorant and so isolated. Miserably Unsatisfactory Like any other self-respecting woman she found this arrange ment miserably unsatisfactory, and when Robert went off to take his job in another city, they de cided upon an understanding that would lead within the year to mar riage, no matter what their finan cial or domestic situations might be. A part of Linette’s letter fol lows: “This was the way things were at New Years. Bob went away, and we wrote to each other, daily at first, then his letters fell off, as I expected they might At Easter he was at home three days, and I saw him there three times, but I felt that things had changed. There was no love talk, and no talk of marriage. But he was work ing terribly hard, and looked and acted tired. “That was all, until this week, when I discovered that he has been home, was here for two nights, about 10 days ago, with out a word or telephone message to me. “Mrs. Norris,” Linette’s letter goes on, “I was stunned. I have been unable to eat or sleep since. Loving and trusting him as I do I know that something has hap pened, he is angry with me, or someone has told him something that has changed him. I telephoned him at once, but it was most un satisfactory. He pleaded that his mother and sisters had absorbed his time, that he had tried to call me, and so on. He said to wait for his letter; there has been no letter, and inasmuch as I cannot live—I feel I actually will die— if things are left this way, I am appealing to you. Of one thing I am sure; Robert loves me. If I did not know that, I would try to put the whole thing behind me. But Robfert loves me. How can I win him back?” Love la Gone Linette, I say in reply, the one thing of which I am Jure, and of which you are yourself sure, deep in your heart, is that Robert doesn't love you. Any man who loves a woman won’t be in the same town with her for three hours, much less three days; with out telephoning, rushing to see her, dating her tor every possible in stant. Your love affair is over. Accept this terribly hard dictum, and start fresh tomorrow. Act as if Robert were dead; many a brave woman has had to rise to that sit uation in the past few years. Plunge into three or four different activities; make yourself do it. Every fibre of soul and body will revolt at first, but that’s the only cure. Study a language; that is al ways my first suggestion. Then get a puppy to spoil and be spoiled by. My own predilection is for a cocker. They are happy in an apartment and very loving. Head For Car During Storm TJERE’S COMFORT for those ** who dive under the nearest bed at the first crash of thunder. The National Geographic Magazine has some advice on how to dodge light ning. Don’t head for the nearest bed. Your automobile is much safer. It’s one of the safest places you can take refuge in because the steel of the body will conduct the current away from the occupants. That goes for airplanes too. Your chances of being killed by lightning in the United States are about one in 365,000. And this is true despite the fact that over the earth some 44,000 lightning storms occur every day, with 100 flashes of lightning every second. ‘ Moreover, some strokes at their peaks generate temperatures as high as 27.000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is “turned on” only 35 millionths of a second during the 20,000 mile an hour flash. Lightning is known to strike be tween two clouds, or within a single cloud far more often than between a cloud and the ground. A flash m4y speed more than 10 miles between two clouds, and it may race to the ground from a distance of only three miles. Strikes Same Place Twice Lightning can and does strike the same place twice. It has hit the Empire State building in New York city as many as 12 times in 20 min utes, and as often as 50 times a year. Another feature recently discov ered is that lightning may strike upward from the ground. That is because it is really a high speed flow of current back and forth b* tween powerful electric charges. T HERE ARE WAYS of saying “No” without using that short and ugly word. A writer in the Christian Century has pointed out three of these. One is to say, “This is not the time . . .” Another is to say, “I agree with you in principle, but . . .” and the third is to say, *1 am with you— —— but don’t quote me!” What we need nowadays is men who are willing to stand up and be quoted, quoted for good and against evil. All men are “against sin” in general; it takes a braver man to be Dr ’ against it in particular. In a large town in Kentucky re cently the grand jury indicted the whole police force. In the course of the Jury’s report they said they had heard a good deal of testimony about , rotten places and practices in and | around town, but most of those who had come. before the grand jury had said, in effect, “Don’t quote me.” It is hard to make any indict ment stick if people who knbw damaging facts are not willing to come out in broad daylight and testify. So abuses go on and on, all because every one is too shy to point an accusing finger. • • • Man of Courage W E NEED more men like the prophet Elijah. God provi dentially removed from him all the usual temptations to keep his mouth shut. He had no investments to pro tect—all he had he wore on his back, and that was not much. No family depended on him. He did not represent any institution. He could speak his mind—he could speak God’s mind—without worry ing about the effect it might have on investors, or his family, or some institution. Of course Elijah had Elijah to look after; but for himself he was not afraid in the least. Lone figure though he was, he stood out againset lies and exploitation in varied forms. He stood out against popular opinion, and that is not easy for any normal man. So many thousand votes or voices must be right we think. But Elijah did not think so. He knew that “one man with God is a majority.” He stood out against official opposition; this was more dangerous still. The crowd’s favor or dislike eomes and goes, the crowd soon for gets; but a tyrant like Ahab (and still more like Jexebel) neither forgives nor forgets a man who has stood up to con tradict and condemn him. Then Elijah stood out against the most difficult enemy of all; organ ized religious leadership, that is, the false prophets. Even in the Christian era that organized church has sometimes taken the wrong side of some important questions and persecuted men who were on the side of right. But church tyran ny is at least as bad as any other kind, and it takes a brave man to face it. • • • In Our Time T HANK GOD for all the Elijahs! Every generation has seen a few, and we have them in our time. They have not all had the spectacular success of the original prophet of Carmel, but they are here all the same. In public life one thinks of those senators—and your state is fortunate if it has even one who stands up for persons against profits, for the advan tage of all against benefits for a few, true representatives of the people as against invested privilege. In church life we need more men like that pastor down in Alabama who was recently “fired” because he would not take his stewards’ advice and use more “tact” in his sermons against sin in general and drinking in particular. It takes courage to do such things. And Elijahs are needed in the business and professional worlds, not only in the pulpit • • • Is Liquor a Sacred Cow? T HE LIQUOR traffic alone, to name but one public evil, is doing our fellow-citizens a vast amount of, damage. Whht other business makes necessary wards in hospitals to cure its customers? But how few men will stand up and be quoted for the facts! News papers will editorialize against gambling when they won’t against liquor; gambling doesn’t advertise but liquor does. Count the big newspapers or magazines which for the benefit of their readers are willing to go without the income which liquor advertising produces.
