WEEK-END WOMANSENSE
Anne Edwards
FTER two weeks in New York. I have to report that the Ameri ent Look is real.
This summer, the girls ircas to a pattern of short hair, white hat, collar and gloves, shoulder-strup bags, fine dark nylons, and very high heels.
But the success secret of the American Look is that the short hair is newly, washed, the accessories are brilliantly white, the shoes and stockings are as well groomed as the faces above them.
THE TOPS
In fashions. I give Ameri can women FULL MARKS for:-

NOT SO GOOD
They get BAD MARKS for wearing:-
Giant straw pleture hats with fur wraps....V-neck dinner dresses sit beyond decency.... Low evening dress necklines at the office....Silt skirts with slips showing through... Londis of artificial diamonds in daytime....

WHADDYA MEAN?
What Amerleans really mean when they say:-
"I'm not kidding" means m.” “That little boy certainly has personality" means "Ile's unbearable." This wili kil you" means "This is a funny story you heard ten years ago." "She's some girl" means "You' won't get an interview,"
Mo'sagentus" means "I'm paying his salary." "I brought because it looked nice" this means "We've run out of what- ever you ordered."
FOR THE HOME
Decorating Ideas in American homes are fresh and different:--
They have dark green cur- tains in white rooms, dark green Krowingt plants, and Gearlet lamp-shades.... loop white frilled chiffon curtains across the window, and do without heavy curtains.... Have baby high-chairs that close flush with the wall like our ironing boards....
Build bookcases of painted white planks and househood bricks....

The most pleasant dishes turn
up in American homes. Here Are my four favourites-
A new cocktali dish; Whip up some minced clams (or mussels)

up a mouthful with a crisp.
Ice cream (any flavour) ul- lowed to melt and then beaten up with a little rum. Add chopped preserved fruit optional luxury. Pour into tall glasses and freeze.
