Clothes, Make-Up And

Dress, make-up and manner- isms, fashion the various types of women-that is the theme of a novel show at the New York World's Fair. Sixteen girls were chosen from ordinary walks of life and were refashioned to por- tray certain roles of womanhood. A modern farmer's wife, a subur- ban mother, a sophisticated play girl, a sun-loving sportswoman and a doctor's wife were the ones that caught my attention,

There isn't a professional model in the group. Not one of them was born an "oomph" girl, yet each is a streamlined beauty wearing her clothes with a charm- ing, convincing manner. One is amazed when told that one of these girls was a dowdy school teacher, another a soda clerk and still another a fling clerk. "Those charmers?" you question. "Well, tell me how it was done!"

Experts Had A Hand

Each individual "type" was so fashioned to complement the car she drives. For instance, the out- door girl, with bare-kneg fashions, drives a snappy sport roadster in which are thrown her tennis rac- ket and gol, ciubs.... Her play clothes are casual and so are her make-up and coiffure. She has a friendly personality and looks as if she lived under the sun most of the day,

Whereas the doctor's more dignified-wearing a long white dinner dress and gay red silk shawl.. She must help her husband with his profession, she must look and play the role of a gracious hostess and sympa- thetic friend. She drives a more expensive car for prestige. That girl in true life was an unattrac- tive school teacher who had little idea how to dress attractively or use make-up to advantage.

Appropriate and smart hair styling made almost miraculous changes in the girls' appearances. All the cuts and coiffures -- were simple but keyed to the age of the girl and the shape of her face and the role she was playing.

Almost all the figures required changing. Waistlines were nipped, hips slimmed, bosoms lifted and legs, and thighs streamlined.
