THE WORLD OF WOMEN

THOSE "BAD” OLD DAYS.

By A Woman of 1962

We have slipped over to Paris for

a Singe d'Or cocktail in our new super mammoth plane,

and are

now on our way back to dinner in London.

"Tell me," says my daughter, when the aerial police have held up the traffic, and our plane hangs motionless over the Channel, "What was it like when you were. young? Was it any fun at all?"

The world was a very amusing place thirty years ago," I reply. "But, of course, things moved more slowly then. People didn't fly everywhere as we do now. There were a few planes about, but on the whole, they were primitive affairs."

"But however did you live?" in- quires my daughter. "How did you get about?”

"There were motor cars on the road, which crawled along at about 50 miles an hour," I remember with a smille. "But in those days we thought that fast."

My daughter, whose plane cats up the miles at the rate of 200 to the hour, laughs. "I'd love to see onc. Did you ever drive in one? How amusing." she continues, when I nod. "Somehow I didn't think of you as that kind of age."

"I drove behind a horse, too." -I tell her.

"A horse?" she muses. "What exactly is a horse like?".

"They have a very good specimen at the Zoo," is the best

anawer

I can give her. "I haven't seen Fone myself for years."

"Look." says the girl, drawing my attention to the television dise, by which I can see a poster in Piccadilly Circus, "180,000 more in work. Isn't it terriblet Fancy all those people having to work."

"I don't know what the country is coming to." I sigh. "But that is another way in which we are very different now from what, we were when I was young. In '32 we count- ed the people who were out of work, not those who were in Everybody worked who could in those days."

My daughter turns eyes of horror upon me,

"You didn't work, did you?" she asks in a shocked voice. "Oh, mo- ther! How too degrading! What did you do?"

I worked in an office," 1 con- fesa, bowing my head to the storm. **I was a typiat. We called it 'secretary then. I went into town!

SIMPLE LUXURY

Benita Hume

Hollywood.If you can "gild the lily" and still keep your evening things simple looking, it is all to the good.

Benita Hume wears a perfectly exquisite white lace even- ing gown, all delicately scintillating because iti fine design is traced in tiny crystal beads. It is made with a very low back, cowl front, floor length and a slight train, for formality's sake. She wears pearls with a diamond clasp and one diamond bracelet with it and looks simply elegant!

Claudette Colbert, among her new New York clothes, has glamorous black marquisite dinner gown with the puff sleeves and the rour necked yoke embroidered in glittering jet.

Marlene in a Dress

Holding open house on Sunday afternoon, Adrienne Ames wore a brown yelvet afternoon dress with full sleeves with bands of rhinestones on them. Incidentally, Marlene Dietrich was there, with Maurice Chevalier, and she was wearing a DRESS. It was black crepe, with extremely full sleeves and full skirt. She wore her black bat anchored to the back of her head with a black vibbon under her chin, holding. It in place.

Ermine is used to give glamour to many a costume of an evening. I saw Kathleen Burke, dancing with her fiance, Glen Bardin, in the Roosevelt Blossom Room, wearing a stunning black velvet dinner gown with puff sleeves and a jabot of ermine tabs,

At the Biltmore Theatre, Fay Wray wore a charming pale pink chiffon gown, with dainty fewere imprinted on it, out- lined in beads.
