In the Women's World

Chiffon and lace are combined with restraint and good taste in this very feminine negligee and nightgown ensemble. Winter brides who shy away from too-frilly lingerie will find such a model ideal for both winter and summer wear. Notice how the sailor collar is appliqued with lovely hand embroidery and lace; the soft-fullness of the bodice, and long gathered sleeves. Zebra striped velvet and black silk jersey are combined in this striking hostess gown. Notice the clever styling of this robe, with the softly draped front panel of jersey girdled by a double buckle belt, giving the waistline a smooth, slim look. Cyclamen sheer wool robe with turquoise blue girdle is a flat-tering color combination for dark haired girls. Gold medal-lions on either side of the softly tailored collar give the gown a festive air. It is both warm and chic for winter evenings at home. Sweater, skirt and blazer ensem-bles in three bright colors are campus favorites. Patricia Ryan, CBS actress heard on Columbia network's "Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories", chooses for her color scheme a forest green wool skirt, bright yellow long torso pullover sweater and fireman's red blazer. Desert shades-sage brush blue and acacia-are combined for a startling effect in this cactus twill suit worn by CBS actress Gloria Holden of the "Dr. Chris-tian" series. California design-ers have made a name for them-selves with their styling of fem-ininely tailored suits such as this.

Taste Teasers Make Christmas Cocktails, Dinner Better

By PHILLIP LEWIS The chimes of Christmas are ringing and Mrs. Coral Gables is set for the traditional Christmas turkey and "all the fixins'". Lest we create confusion by attempting to "gild the lily" by suggesting more and different ways to prepare your big holiday dinner, it occurred to me that a few appetizers to go with your pre-dinner cocktail, might be more appropriate. Here we go: Cut pieces of toast one inch square, squeeze a little ancho-vy paste in center, cover with cream cheese, softened with a little cream, and then sprinkle with a little paprika. Secure some watercress, chop fine, mix with cream cheese softened with a little cream, salt and pepper. Cut a slice of bread length-wise, trim all edges, spread the cheese and cress evenly, then roll; starting at one end until fully rolled; set in ice box for a few minutes until set, then slice about three eights of an inch thick. Lay two small sardines on a piece of toast to cover; place seglment of lemon on top. Boil two or three eggs until hard boiled; cut carefully length-wise in quarters, remove yolks, pass through a fine strainer, season with salt and pepper, a dash of A1 Sauce, little Wor-chestershire Sauce, a tables-spoons of mayonnaise; mix well, put in a decorative bag and fill egg white; place on crackers. Here is a couple of hot hors d'ouovres; Secure 1⁄2 pound ground beef, roll in small balls about the size of an olive, fry them until done, pour a little ketchup, A1 Sauce, salt and pepper and reheat. Do no let boil. Stick a toothpick in each one and serve while hot. Shred ground beef on small pieces of toast; season with salt and pepper and a dash of A1 Sauce. Place under broiler until done. Serve hot. Cut about 1⁄2 pound of bacon into very thin pieces, fry them nice and crisp; spread peanut butter on toast, sprinkle bacon on top, reheat. Roll stuffed or green olives in a part of a strip of bacon. Secure with toothpick, broil un-til bacon is done. Save your turkey leftovers! Next week we'll tell you how to make appetizing dishes out of your Christmas bird.

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBENSTEIN In this week's column, the world-famous beauty authority tells how the Tall Woman should use her height to its greatest ad-vantage. New York-The "Forgotten Woman of America" seems to be the woman who stands five feet six inches or over. For, al-though 25 per cent of American women are in this category, very little has been done to show them how to capitalize upon their height and as a result, tall women too often awkward in their ges-tures, stoop shouldered, s i n-correctly coif-fured and made up. This fact was brought to my attention very vividly today, when a well known business woman who is about 5 ft. 8 in-ches tall, came to me for advice. "I've been so busy all my life," she said, "I really haven't had much time to devote to my ap-pearance. I know I don't look as attractive as I could, and yet, I'm not sure just what's wrong with me. Can you help me?" I explained to her that the only thing that was wrong with her was that she was ashamed, rather than proud, of her height. She stooped slightly, obviously hoping that this would take off inches, she wore her hair in a flat, unbecoming style because she was afraid of adding height to her coiffure, and her make-up was pale and inconspicuous, probably because she was afraid of drawing too much attention to herself in any way. Height can be a very great beauty asset, if it is dramatized, rather than hidden. In many tall women, the face seems small in proportion to the rest of the body and therefore, the features should be emphasized with the proper make-up. Pale colors fade out completely-she should wear bold, dashing shades. The tall woman should have enough mouth. Rosebud lips are unbe-coming. Her mouth should be well-shaped, proud and gener-ous. Her coiffure should be sim-ple, and dressed with a mini-mum of ringlets and curls. In general, she should strive to-ward a sculptural, goddess-like simplicity. Most tall women are afraid to stand up straight, and they as-sume an awkward jacknife pos-ture. Instead, they should look very proud of their height, and should stand with feet parallel, shoulders relaxed, abdomen flat, chest lifted, and the spine a straight column supporting the head. They should look as though being tall were the nicest thing in the world. The best exercise for a tall woman are those which build up the chest and flatten the abdo-men-for, more than likely, these are her chief figure defects. I have noticed, also, that tall wo-men very often do not know what to do with their hands. A good rule to follow is: when you are ill at ease, just hold one hand gracefully in the other; immediately, you will look and feel relaxed.
