PAGE EIGHT .HE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, JULY 17, 1950" In The Home \. - OF INTEREST English Women Don't Want to Copy High-Pressive Antics of U.S. Sisters London -- (CP) -- A report por- traying the American woman as "pace-maker" in family life land- ed on British ears with all the im- pact of a powder puff on a soft, feminine cheek. Nobody batted an eyelid. Women here, it seems, don't want to emu- late the high-pressure antics of their trans-Atlantic sisters. The English lass is a tamer bird than her fine feathered friend in the United States, and she likes it that way. The comparison arose out of a productivity report by a British en team. Eleven engin- eers, all men, toured American in- dustrial plants and came back with a breathless picture of "ruthless" efficiency. One reason for soaring American production, the Britons said, in ef- fect, is the glossy, gadget-loving American wife. Modern, thrusting and aggressive, she goads her hus- band into working harder to pro- duce more goods, so that he can earn more money, and she can buy more gadgets. British newspapers received the report in stolid silence. The only reaction came from The Daily Mir- ror, which said the general idea is that the American woman wants to work as little as possible 'while her husband works: as hard as possible, Columnist James Carter, a bach- elor, noted that there are only 2,- 000,000 widowers in. the United States, compared with 6,000,000 women in widow's weeds. He blam- ed the husband's shorter life ex- pectancy on such things as instal- ment buying and ulcers. "Thanks," he said, "but I'll stay single." The British View Research by The Canadian Press indicated Britons generally agree that the American male is a hen- pecked husband who puts his little woman on a pedestal, whereas the English gentleman is less gentle; that the English wife usually thinks first of her husband and then of herself; and that if being less acquisitive means a little less in- Steril production, well, that's too Persons interviewed echoed North American columnists like Leland Stowe and Toronto's Morley Calla- ghan, who have written magazine articles assailing the American woman as restless, selfish and gen- erally inferior to her British and continental counterpart. The Italian woman, for instance, calls her man "mio ombro," im- plying that she lives in his shadow. Edith McKenna, London fashion editor, summed up the difference in the species this way: "The English woman likes her man because he is her man; the American woman likes her man for what he can get for her." Emily Hahn, American writer who now lives in Britain, agreed that the keeping-up-with - the- Joneses spirit seems less pronounc- ed here than at home. "I'm afraid we American women use too many things once and then throw them away," she said. "The English women are more thrifty, less spoiled, work harder, and I admire them for it." These were some other comments: Joseph Brayshaw, general secre- tary of Britain's Marriage Guidance Council: "Ten years of rationing have made us think more in terms of fair shares than in what we can get. There may be some truth in the saying that the way to avoid incompatability is for the, husband to have the income, the wife com- patability." Mrs. Hilary Marquand, wife of Britain's pensions minister: "I liv- ed several years in America, and I found American women astonish- ingly alive and vital. Sometimes, though, I found myself thinking what mad, pleasure-seeking crea- tures they were." Mrs, Katharine Cowan, National Council of Women: "The standard of homemaking is much higher in the United States. Canadians and Americans laugh at us when they see us down on our knees scrubbing floors, and it's true that we are a bit behind the times." A group of Canadians in Lon- don, arguing the point, decided that the differences between the two types spring from the countries which produced them -- younger, more aggressive America and older, more relaxed Britain -- and that there's a lot to be said for both. Bulky Greatcoats In Bold Appearance On Fashion Horizon New York--(AP) -- This winter North American women are going to be sitting around in their coats, because they are too beautiful to be hidden in a check room. Philip Mangone outdoes even his own distinguished record this sea- son with a collection of coats and suits of handsome fabrics and skil- ful cut. Most spectacular of the coats are in bulky imported fabrics, often two-faced, used in dashing great- coats of loose and ample cut, that look as if they were designed to be worn in a blizzard. One 'such is a dramatic coat of almost circular cut, in an imported double-woven fabric 'that it gray fleece on the outside, red-and-gray bold plaid inside. The coat is made with the plaid side out on the collar and on the huge buttonback double cuffs. Mangone also uses the season's pet doormat fabric for a number of great coats, and shows a series of town coats in dark woollens completely lined in nutria or mink. His suits accent the nipped waist- line and rounded hip that is typical of the new silhouette, Winding' up the crrowded week of fashion préviews was the show- ing of Cecile Chapman, famous for frothy dance dresses for the young- er set. This fall Miss Chapman goes all out for billowing skirts of nylon net topped by strapless bodices of taffeta or satin cut as low as the law allows and further spiced by petal effects about the bosom. For less formal wear she short strapless taffeta sheaths in ash blonde, black or white taffeta, draped to dramatize the figure, with cover-up boleros. TIPS FOR TEENS :- 'Shortie' Asks"Lanky Lou' to Dance ELINOR WILLIAMS I aril Difference in height is often a éoncern of date-minded high schoolers. Here's a letter from a girl who is invited to a dance by a boy shorter than she. "Dear Elinor: Recently I was asked to a dance. by a boy 1 like and who likes me very much, but he is at least three inches shorter than I am. I said yes, but now I am wondering if I did the right thing. Do you think I could dance with him without making him and myself look ridiculous? My shoes are as flat as I can get them. Please print this in the paper, as I feel sure that many girls are bothered the same as 1." Ans--Nothing can be done about a difference in height except to wear low heels and then forget it. You accepted the invitation, so now you must keep your word and go to the dance with this boy. After- ward, why not decide what you prefer to do in the future when you recelve similar invitations--wheth- er you'd. rather date a boy who is not as tall as you, have fun and "circulate" enough tc meet other boys and girls or refuse the date, stay home and miss the dance. My suggestion is -- Go to the dance and have fun. Forget his height. Telephones buzz more often for girls who date and who are seen dating than for girls who never go places with boys, Do this without appearing to "go steady" with the shorter bov, how- ever, so too-frequent dates with him won't prevent your having oppor- tunities for fun with other boys whom you might enjoy more and perhaps like better. This doesn't mean deceiving him, Simply date him on a friendly basis, have fun. but don't repeat your dates with him often enough to give the im- pression of "going steady."

Older Women Make Better Baby Sitters Than Teen-Agers The Canadian Home Economics Association, which has been study- ing the baby-sitting sitmation across Canada, today called for less sitting time and more training for the teen-agers who look after children. The association, holding its an- nual convention here, also had a word for parents. It told them to seek older women through com- munity organizations, leave written instructions with sitters and don't let the girl sitters go home alone after dark. The association based its recom- mendations on results of question- aires sent parents in 60-cities and to 6,000 students in Grades 5 to 13, in | nine provinces. Some of the facts the association lec @p.: . 1. . age range of sitters is 11-19 years. 2. Students spend one to 40 hours weekly sitting. . 3. From 22 to 50 per cent of girl sitters are allowed to go home alone after dark. 4. Only one-third of parents leave instructions with sitter, 5. An average of 40 per cent leave only a phone number. 6. Some parents turn off the heat and the house gets cold. 7. Some parents do not lock the doors when they leave. The association decided that chil- dren under, 14 years should not be employed as sitters and one night a week is enough for the student. The last recommendation was that courses in child development which include guidance for the baby sitter, should be given in all schools and colleges of home economics.
