Help Husband Look His Best

There are times in almost every married woman's life when her wedding ring seems to change in- to a r 4 '! Thisil p-rtlcultrly true on those occasions when a beautifully turned out wife must walk into I social situation coup- led with an untidy. poorly-groom- ed k I” I

If your husband's don't-care ap- pearance is robbing you of the chance to function as half of an attractive couple, now's the time to give him a gentle nudge in the direction of good looks.

Nagging does no good. as any wife who's tried it can testify. Instead of pointing out the con- dition of your spouse's shoes, try presenting him with an efficient shoe-shine kit. This may be noth- ing more elaborate than a collec- tion of polishes and brushes in one corner of a kitchen drawer. The important thing is to keep the equipment handy. You might find the care of your own shoes less a chore, too. with all cleaning essentials assembled in one spot. If your husband can't be both- ered with keeping his clothes free of lint and dust. you might awak- en his pride with a handsome ny- lon brush. The Job of keeping the brush washed will probably fall upon your shoulders, but this is a small task when you soak it, along with your own brushes, in a de- tergent solution to loosen the dirt. Remember. too, to keep his hail-brush and combs as spotless as your own.

Dormant masculine vanity can sometimes be aroused by simply

providing a prlmping place for him. If your husband's comb is kept in the medicine chest along

with a weltcr of unattractive bot- tles. or if his hair-grooming pre- parations get shoved out of sight behind cosmetics on your vanity. it's no wonder he gets discouraged and gives his hair a llck-and-pro- misc treatment.

Even if the bathroom mirror is the only feasible one in the home for your husband's grooming rites. see to it that he has at least one shelf set aside for his own things. A little effort on your part will go a long way toward making your husband look as neat as you do.

"No," said the disgusted farmer. "He's not slck." mid: he balky'."' asked the motor-

"Nope. he's not balky"

"Then what's tht matter with him?" asked the motorist.

"Well, stranger." slid the dis- gusted farmer. "he's so afraid I'll say whoa and he won't hear me that he stops every once in a while to listen."

Button Styling special Factor In lieu clothes

(By Muriel Nan-away. Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, - (CP)-You may think a suit just a skirt and jac- ket with buttons and pockets fulfilling a useful. puropse.

1! so. take a look at the latest couture designs shown in both London and Paris and you'll see just how wrong you can be. On close study. butloning will em- erge as a fundamental part of good design, as individual as I thumbprint.

And like a thumabprinf, there is a lot of variation. For instance. compare the many methods of fastening used by leading de-

signers on both sides of the Channel. London: Victor Stlesbel gives

importance to the pepluum of a plain, classic suit by curving the front and ending the cross-over in a sharp diagonal point, secur- ed by large buttons. Buttoning from waist to bust is then per- fectly straight. lending even greater emphasis to the diagonal peplum slant.

A silt afternoon suit by Dlgby Moron with straight buttoning from bust to hips has scalloped hem to the jacket front. Draped pockets give hip emphasis and the loose ends to a pocket bow, flowing freely, give side interest to the skirt.

Ules Check Facing!

Jean Desses gives French chic and a diagonal slant to a plain jacket by the use of check fac- ings. The jacket edge is thrown back from collar to hem and an ample diagonal fold that com- plements the turn-back of the opposite peplum edge. There ll no buttoning to disturblthe clean- cut line from collared neck to hem. The waist is held by a nar- row belt.

Whether English or French, button-styling is interesting and smart. Charles Creed give a mil- itary look by means of button- tabs bridging the gap to a jacket that is not quite edge-to-edge. Matching buttons down each side give a triple-button effect.

A debonair "dandy" look is achieved by Jean ,Desses in a double-breasted jacket that but- tons only to the waist. The pep- lum is cut away in a long oblong. the edges of which are decorated with buttons from waist to hem.

An apron front is the work of Pierre Balmain. A double-breash ed jacket is buttoned from collar to just before the waist. This gives a squared lap-over effect to a curved cut-away peplum.

Hardy Amies accentuate: a double-breasted jacket by means of a wide double curve. The out- ward curves at bust and hips are complemented by double but-

toning. The inward curve at waist has only one button. This gives a distinctive five-button effect.

'To . Enhance Eye Beauty

Fashion llredicu a spring union between the color of your eye- shadow and the color of your hat. If you don't believe that this can be an entrancing idea. try it out: by repealing with the soft blue of your eyeshadow the soft blue of a hat, which, for example. you've chosen to enhance the color - of your eyes. A green-eyed gal can expect the same wltcbery from green eyeshadow that repeats the jade green band of her sailor.

. Hats worn as straight as a die will leave the face more exposed this season. so be warned. says a makeup expert that eye cosmetics will be important as your hat. Brows will need to be fully and beautifully arched; lashes dressed to look more luxuriously fringed.

When making up the brows. re-

member to start your pencil on I line directly above the inner comer of the eye. From there. follow a gentle arch out to the point where the temple curve begins. At that point, see that your eyebrow line is kept parallel with your hair- line. (All of this is preceded, of course. by a careful clean-up of stragglers.) In dressing your lashes, re- member that a couple of thin coats of make-up are much better than one thick, heavy, gummy applica- tlon.
