It is just about this time of the
year that people are concerned
with making resolutions for the
' New Year. It is time that some
attention be given to making and
executing resolutions in the area
of fashion and beauty.
Now, if you are the type who
breaks the rules as fast as they
are made, it will hardly be worth
your while making any. Still, it
can't do any harm to review a
few points which need frequent
attention. So, suppose we list a
few suggested resolutions for the
record.
Whereas women Ijave always
been deemed the fairer sex, and
‘ are generally regarded to be
happy in the enjoyment of the
reputation, and
Whereas they spend valuable
time and money in the pursuit of
the illusive quality of beauty and
charm, and
Whereas men like them to be
lovely,
Be it therefore resolved:
I. That smart women will re
frain from adding a year to their
apparent age. Now that Grandma
and Glamour are virtually syn
onymous (witness such grand
mothers as Marlene Dietrich)
there is hardly any excuse for
appearing to grow old any other
way but gracefully.
2. That women strive to attain
the maximum amount of charm,
as distinguished from sheer
beauty. More attention can always
be given to little details such as
manner of sitting, walking and
standing, and the infinite number
of little gestures and courtesies
which are the essence of poise.
3. That clothes are never bought
unless they really do something
for the wearer. Size, type and per
sonality are major considerations
in even the smallest clothing in
vestment.
4. That more attention be given
to accessories. It is well to remem
ber that too often wonderful cos
tumes are ruined by poorly i
[selected or inferior accessories.
5. That quantity never takes ;
precedence over quality in clothing
purchases.
6. That restraint be exercised!
in the wearing of decoration and;
jewelry. After all, it> is a very[
high compliment to be one of thej
Ten Best Dressed, but who wants
to be labeled, “The Most Dressed?”!

A Memoriam
Dear Readers:
Because of the death of Mrs.
Odessa Johnson, one of the
writers of the Household Hints
column, The Voice staff will de
vote this column this week as a
memoriam to Mrs. Johnson.
Mrs. Odessa
Johnson, came
to Lincoln 35
years ago from
Kansas City,
Kansas. A quiet
and dignified
person, Mrs.
Johnson en
joyed her
home, people,
her church and
her work. Mrs. Johnson
She was employed at Hardy’s
Furniture store for 30 years and
her loyalty to her employer and
associates, was deep rooted. Al
though she had unlimited talents
musically as well as vocationally,
she was unable to develop these
gifts because of her untiring ef
forts in coming to the aid of
others that asked and needed her
Mrs. Johnson loved to enter
tain people, and this she did
lavishly. Her love for beauty in
her home and work stood out in
her relationship with all with
whomshe came in contact. Deeply
sincere in her church work, she
was very conscientous in all tasks
undertaken. She served in the
church as a stewardess for many
years, and also directed the choir.
She organized and directed musi
cal groups for more than 20
years, one group currently known
as the Johnson Singers.
She recently contributed cloth
ing and toiletries to Mrs. Davis
ganize into nations and engage
in( war.
Observations
“There are still a few people
who don’t believe the earth is
round,” says an educator. It really
isn’t round. It’s oblately spher
oidal. (Voice from the gallery:
“Smarty pops!”)
“You may break, you may shat
ter the vase if you will, but the
scent of the roses will hang round
it still.”—Thomas Moore.
“The census bureau reports that
there are now more wonjen £jian
men in the U.S.”—News item. It
has always seemed that there
were.
The L.A. high school juniors who
can’t tell time might retort: “So
what! It’s later than anybody
thinks.”
George, a Missionary in Liberia,
West Africa. Mrs. Johnson, has
been writing for The Voice for
several years and her loyalty and
sincerity will be missed by the
entire staff.

Remember to say you saw it
