BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times The spring and summé disugsted. I can't imagine and Lady Baio, surely are thinking about. I've gone very carefully through all the glossy pages and there isn't one model @ver sixteen years of age. What are we jolly matrons of 39 supposed to do, emulate the emperor in the fairy tale? In case you've forgotten, for his 'new clothes" he wore nothing at all and because he was the emperor nobody dared to say a word until a small child squealed "But the emperor hasn't anything on..." and that spoiled the show. It takes enough time and energy to stay young and beautiful, but who wants to look sixteen? Apparently the teen-agers don't gant to; they're going in for "granny" dresses that look like dollied-up nightgowns and grannies have the choice of above-the-knee jump skirts (I guess it's the men who'll jump at the sight) or hipster slims worn with a bare navel on casual occasions, like picnics f'instance. Isn't that nice; at last a place to put the salt when the celery comes around. : Beauty Is Her Business I discussed the whole thing with Miss Mala Rubinstein who has been visiting Toronto this week. Miss Rubinstein is the niece and successor of the late Madam Helena Rubinstein with whom she worked and travelled to prac- tically every part of the world Miss Rubinstein who has made New York her home since 1935, is a striking-looking woman who wears her dark hair drawn back very much in the style of her aunt, whose flair for clothes and love of jewellery, especially «cabochon rings and chandelier earrings, she has in- herited. : On Wednesday at a reception held in the royal suite of the Park Plaza Hotel, Miss Rubinstein was charm personified as she moved from group to group, eager to chat and answer questions, She, was wearing a long- sleeved fitted shift of black net, splashed with dark red poppies over a décollete black foundation. A net frill at the hemline (not ultra short) swept up to the hip on the left side. There is a trace of a Polish accent in her voice which is quite captivating. On the subject of the accent on youth she said: "Youth is refreshing and agreeable. Young peo- ple should be given leeway to experiment and to change their appearance. Older women find ways to be beautiful that are strictly their own personal methods, the result of learning over the years how to bring out their 'beauty potential'. "4 woman has more stamina, somehow, than a man and the weaker she shaws she is, the stronger she usually is. Many women have to operate under the same pres- aures in our society as men do. They fulfill a great many obligations, but somehow a woman is made with stronger resistance: women are .able to withstand, I saw it during the war, I see it now in daily occurrences. "There are many mature women who look superb. In fact, they look-better than many women in their twenities. The mature woman realizes that she must take a little inventory of herself once or twice a year and she modifies her beauty routine accordingly. I believe in clothes that are not only attractive but also comfortable. Anybody who must wear her clothes from morning to night must have something she can forget, that's not cumbersone or em- barrassing."' In other words feel your best and you'll look your best. Away prith the jump skirts and the hipsters for me I'm going to have another look in the clothes closet Maybe some of those care-free old models could stand a half-inch off the hem. Straight From the Heart Because of you-know-what I wasn't able to announce my favorite Valentines for 1966, but February is Heart Month and this is my last chance to send a verbal botiquet. I have 25 red roses for Mary Telford who has retired what Mr. Simpson, Mr. Sears =!! senior members of society. 1 b Bo i JAN FALKOWSET (Author) By JO ALDWINCKLE One of the 'gallant few" to whom '"'so many owe s0 much," \Jan Falkowski (Wing Com- imander J.

The Polish squadrons like their British Colleagues Were en- gaged from dawn to dusk. The Pelee intraduced modifications, suited to their character and based on their experience, into the obligatory British tactics. Again and again, they applied the head-on tactics developed during the days of the Polish campaign, holding their fire until they were at point-blank range. These encounters make thrill- ing reading, climaxing with the air ace's forced parachute drop in Holland, captured by the Ger- mans and subsequent escape. Here and there is a glimpse of a life-long romance in which destiny played an almost un- believeable part. "T have been thinking of writ- ing the book for twenty years," {Colonel Falkowski said, 'and a 'erash in the Rockies and res- cue in 1962, led to action, How \long can your luck, hold out? I realized then that at any time it might be too late." He has been flying since he was 16 and says an aviator can fly until he is 95. It all depends lon the eyesight.
