Some New Fads for
Gray-Haired Ladies
NEW YORK l/P — Until Thurs
day America’s forgotten women
of fashion were the middle-aged,
the wide girth, and the slim of
purse.
Some of these were among the
more than 200 news writers here
for the New York couture group’s
semiannual Fashion Press Week.
Earlier this week, while watch
ing a continuous parade of skin
ny girls in winter styles, they
pondered how these bust-less,
pencil-slim suits and dresses
would look in size 44.
But things took a turn for the
better Thursday. A session was
dedicated to the beauty problems
| of the nation’s 25 million silver
haired ladies. A hair-coloring firm
! admitted that since it has failed
to lick 68 per cent of these wom
en who stubbornly refuse to dye
their tresses, it has joined them.
The company is now making pro
ducts to improve sheen, tone and
manageability of gray hair.
Later in the day, gaunt, slump
shouldered models without a need
to hide big hips, thighs or thick
waistlines lined the runway in
Larry Aldrich dresses that obvi
| ouslv translate flatteringly to a
woman with meat on her bones.
The long casual lines were waist
slimming, and the swingy, bias
cut skirts provided plenty of sit
down room.
Crisply tailored gold and silver
metallic shirtwaist dresses were
Aldrich’s idea of cocktail dresses.
A mature woman could wear one
without feeling like the star in
a Las Vegas night club act.

How To Stretch Your Food Dollar
In these days when the household budget is being squeezed
between the sheer number of products to be purchased and the
cost of living, the keeper of the hearth and home is sore pressed
to make both ends meet.
The Trading Stamp Institute of America, an association of
leading trading stamp companies in the United States, Canada,
and England, gives these tips on how to stretch your food
budget and get the most out of your shopping dollar. They are:
1. Study and compare tne^
food prices of several of the
grocery stores and supermar
kets in your shopping area.
Watch these prices in adver
tisements and by shopping the
stores themselves over a period
of at least several weeks. Keep
a written tabulation so that you
can compare at the end of that
time. Almost all stores hold
sales on various items daily or
weekly and simply a spot
check of these prices will not
show their average cost. Select
basic food staples or those
which you buy regularly.
2. If the supermarket at
which you trade does give
stamps, save and redeem them.
Numerous studies, including a
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture report, have shown that
consumers who redeem their
stamps enjoy a savings of more
than 2.0 per cent.
3. If the store gives stamps
only when asked for, make
sure you do ask for them. It
can mean a savings of many
dollars over a period of a few
months.
4. Few food stores that give
stamps raise prices. They are
able to make up the cost of
stamp plans in many ways.
The vast majority of them
make it up in increased sales.
If, however, at the end of your
study, you find that the prices
in a certain store that gives
stamps are somewhat higher,
determine just how much in
comparison with other stores.
The Department of Agriculture
study of food prices and trad
ing stamps found that over a
two-year period, prices in.
stamp-giving stores rose an
average of only 0.6 per cent
over other stores. The value
of the stamps, the report states,
however, in premiums, was at
least 2.0 per cent, so that the
customer is definitely ahead of
the game.
Economy-minded Americans
who watch their budgets have
found that they can use their
trading stamps to obtain top
quality nationally known brand
name products, which they
otherwise would not have been
able to buy, for themselves,
their families and their homes
—and save money doing so.
