But for wo- men it has opened up a whole new world of fashion. Most of them dress appropriately but occasionally chi- chi trends develop with fussy caps, mitts, woolly loose fitting suits to trap the uninitiated. For them, especially, are the fol- lowing ski tips gathered from some of Canada's best known skiers who have taken part in the annual inter- city ski races held each winter at the Seigniory Club in the Province of Quebec. This year's inter-city meet including slalom and downhill racing will be January 25, 26, 1941 All skiers recommend long sleeved and long legged light woollen under- wear to be worn under ski sults. Some in extremely cold weather wear three sets. During 'he warm sunny days of spring, they wear the thinnest of silk underwear. The sub- ject of cosmetics brings the follow- ing remarks from the experts: wear lots of lip stick which keeps the lips from chapping; powder of dark color because the skin darkens with wind and sun; a little rouge, no mascara--it might run when the eyes water in the wind--and, by all means a protective cream, a sun ofl used by even such uncosmetically minded persons as mountain climb- ers, is the thing. The first rule to remember when buying ski clothes is that clothing should always be tightly woven. lightweight and as waterproof as possible, Many ski suits come with jackets and slacks of matching gabardine, but is wise, too, to have a separate parka or windbreaker of windproof, water-resistant cotton Worn over light weight sweaters or a flannel shirt a windbreaker is comfortable in even the coldes: weather, it's light to carry and may be worn over a cotton shirt when spring sunshine makes the heavier type of jacket cumbersome. y NEW YORK SEEKS TO SET FASHION New York, Dec. 27--(CP)--One thousand women who work at fash. jon for a living are plotting the continent's fashion future. One result of their efforts soon will be seen in the biggest fashion show ever staged in this country-- "Fashion Futures," to be held in New York Jan. 8-9. "Fashion Futures" will parade 500 advance spring styles to members of the trade, for a twofold purpose: To consolidate recent. fashion gains, and to set style trends for the com ing season. Will dresses be short or long? Will shoulders slope naturally, or be padded to squareness? Will waist- lines be normal or abnormal- How about capes? Is elegance coming in or going out? Will mannishness prevail in sports clothes? All these questions will be an- swered in authoritative manner at "Fashion Futures." DRESSES SMART WITH MATURITY New York, Dec. 27.--(CP)--Ma-~ turity has kicked over the fashion traces. No more does the woman with college-age children think she must wear nothing but dresses with draped bosoms, or deep V-neck- lines discreetly edged in white. If her figure is reasonably good, the mature woman can wear the high round necklines of youth, and as tpo gay for her age. Good shops rout middle-aged dowdiness with entire departments devoted to dressing size 16 and up. An example of spanking smart- ness for the forty-ish woman is a two-piece dress made of very sheer black wool, with the high neckline and bodice embroidered in jet. The hat is ageless, gay. Not, for once, an off-the-facer, it's topped with a huge red rose. A costume to wear with satisfaction to teas, bridge parties, club meetings. son-in-law and daughter, Mr, and Mrs. John Pangman, Montreal, and their four children. + 4 Mr. and Mrs. Ormand Young vis- have as their Chilstimas guests their ited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. 8.

MYBRE, Ph.D. Some children are rude to their parents. More parents are rude to their children. We parents as- sume that we have the right to rudeness and that our children have not. So we talk back to our children, interrupt them, contra- dict them; but when they venture to do so to us we condemn them for discourtesy, When a child of three, or even of twelve, contradicts us he sel- dom means to be rude. He merely wishes to be accurate. His obser- vations may have been incorrect, his judgments wrong, and his imagination unrestrained; but for facts as he sees them he has a very high regard. When, for instance, you read an oft-repeated story to the child of three or five you must not miscall a single word, else he will correct you, So also when you relate an incident observed by both you and the younger or older. child, he expects you to report it as he remembers it, If you vary in respect to time, place or quan- tity he corrects the error as he sees it with no thought of being rude. More often than not, his correc- tion is a true one. Correct Procedure It may not even occur to the child that we or others think him discourteous when he contradicts us. He does not sense the adult attitude on such matters as we do. Let us, therefore, be patient with him. Instead of chastizing him right before our friends, let us wait until we are 'alone with him and then explain how his contradiction is interpreted by our adult friends. --(Globe and Mall), Suppose we say: "Next time you hear me stating something not quite accurate, you give me a wink. Then I'll turn to you and say, 'Was it Wednesday or Thursday?' for ex- ample; and you will reply, 'Thurs- day.' 'Oh, yes, Thursday, I will answer. 'Thank you for helping me. You, therefore, will be happy, I'll be happy, and my friends will know that all is well' Our next step is to examine ourselves, to see that we no longer contradict the child, and that when we do so, we follow it by an apology. It is usually a very childish thing for parents to contradict each other. But there are extreme in- stances when one parent feels com- pelled to take issue with another. The widow of Joseph Conrad cites one concerning her late distin- guished husband. "Joseph had one very marked characteristic: He would allow no argument in his own family circle, In early days I often transgressed by attempting. to correct his dates. I have heard him repeatedly give the date of our marriage two years later than it was. At first I in- terrupted him eagerly pointing out that our boy was born that year. He would turn quickly toward me, frowning his displeasure, "You will allow me, my dear, to know as much about it as you do. After all, he is my son as well as yours-----be- sides, I never consider you as old as that'." Solving Parent Problems Q. Would you.spank a baby six months cld to make him stop cry- ing? A.

BEST DRESSED | CLOTHES "OUT" FOR DURATION (By ADELAIDE KERR) Associated Press Staff Writer are giving most of their time and thought to far more serious things than the clothes they wear. And this goes for the women of the United States, too. A number are "up to their eyes" in war work, and keeping office hours. A few have embarked on careers, Most of them are "getting along" on wardrobes which are ex- ceedingly simple in comparison to those they once possessed. Time was when fashion columns were crammed with descriptions of the wardrobes of Queen Elizabeth of Britain, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Windsor, Lady Mendl, Baroness Eugene de Roths- child, Mrs. Harrison Williams and other fashion-famous women. The American-born Baroness Eu- passed. the months between abdice.- tion and marriage to the woman he loved, seemed to sum up the at- titude of them all when she said to me: "Clothes! What are they today? They're going to play a very minor role in everybody's life, There are much more jmportant things which we must think of now. War Casualties Paris and London dressmakers delighted in creating special clothes to enhance their beauty and chic. The silhouettes they launched start- ed more than one fashion trend.

Still others were lost at sea when the boat transporting them to America went down as a casualty of war. Their owners are spending hours in Red Cross uniforms, plainly tail- | ored clothes, or the famous little | black frocks which are almost a "must" in fashionable wardrobes. Some of those who came to New York from Europe replaced lost frocks with simple dresses bought from department store racks; others sampled the work of New York's best couturiers. Queen Elizabetn, whose evening frocks launched a full skirted trend, is now concentrating on keeping up British. morale. , 8he and King George are seen frequently in pub- lie. Nursing Sister The Duchess of Kent, whose hats made fashion history at the Ascot races, recently completed a 50-hour training course as a nursing auxil- iary---plain Sister Kay at a London hospital. Another fashion-famous figure concentrating on more serious things than clothes is the Duchess of Windsor, As wife of the governor of the Bahamas she is president of the Bahamas branch of the Red Cross and spends hours over swea- ters and bandages. It was an aching tooth--not a clothes quest--which brought her first visit to the United States in eight years. TEXAS WOMAN, 116 REPORTED OLDEST Houston, Tex.
