If they want shapes with nothing left to the imagination, they'll see a floor show some night. But during the day, the V-neck, the overfilled sweater, and the tide's-out look around the knees is too distracting for comfort. Their attitude changes at sunset. Feminine charm should be revealed like stars, and at about the same time.

However, stars may be a little too public. There are men who want their girls to dress in a showy way, so they can say, in effect, "Look what I have." But most men like girls who hold down the range of their charms to about the same distance their perfume can travel. I found the greatest agreement in the idea that attrac-tice appearance has little to do with what covers a woman. If she's healthy, gracious, and happy, she will look fine. Her inner composure will tell her how she should dress, control the set of her face, control her posture.

Now, let's get back to your husband, and your question, "How do I look, honey?" If you've been thinking along with me, you may feel one of two ways. First, your husband doesn't dare to answer you truthfully. Second, you are everything you need to be. And if that's the case, your husband's probably speechless with admiration. some of these thoughts are on my own, I've conferred with several men on the subject.

Their reactions were noisy and positive. SO, IN NO ORDER of im-portance at all, let me give you some opinions. The men felt that many women have no idea at all what to do with make-up. They use it like house paint. They either cover up everything, or paint something bright, so it stands out like a geranium in a snow storm.

My experts had no solution, but I believe they would agree that make-up should be used to make a woman glow brighter and clearer. This means touches here and there, rather than broad' strokes. It means shading lips or eyes, so they blend into the face, not jump out of it. On hair, the comment was, "If it's on a girl, it ought to look like a girl's hair." As we talked, several examples went by. One charmer had all of her hair piled onto her head in a straw-stack effect.

Another wore hair so short, it looked as if she had been shaved several months ago. The' hairdo that caught attention, and demanded following stares was a collar-length and curled. ON DRESSES, my experts preferred not to be distracted at the office. If they want gypsies with bangles and beads, they will go have their By DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr.

Brothers: Don't you think a man should answer his wife when she parades out in a new dress, and asks point-blank, "Honey, how do I look?" I did that last night, and my husband refused to comment. He never will compliment me, or tell me that I look terrible. He's absolutely Silent Sam when it comes to my appearance. I don't care whether women dress for themselves, or other women, or for men. Those questions mean nothing to me, but I do care what my husband thinks about me, and I think he should tell me.

Don't you agree? R. F. DEAR R. When an opinion is demanded by a wife in a new dress, the husband may be damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. Your own husband would obviously rather be damned if he doesn't.

The important information that you didn't include in your letter is this: What do you look like to What size are you? How is your color and fashion sense? With a few answers, we might be able to guess how your husband would naturally react. If your mate is tongue-tied, you may be violating some rules that men feel are basic to attractive, feminine appearance.

Miss Dougherty and her part-time assistant are in charge of the school infirmary, where twice a year the faculty and students are given physical examinations, and vaccines, X-rays, and first-aid are administered. MISS DOUGHERTY finds that working with teenagers, and being able to know her "patients," is fun and rewarding. With' a background in almost every area of nursing, including public health, hospital, and Army service, she is enjoying the school work most. "I really can think of no disadvantages," she said. 'Summers are free for private duty if you wish, and the hours are comparable to those of a teacher." The nursing staff of the school Is of course part of the entire system, and Miss Dougherty finds herself attending faculty meetings, giving talks to student groups and participating in occasional panel discussions.

Miss Dougherty keeps a health file on every student in the school, beginning with his earliest physical examination. When a defect or Illness Is found the child's parents are notified and told to consult the family doctor. If there is no family doctor Miss Dougherty finds a clinic in the area and informs the family of the location and hours. "ANOTHER advantage of this work," she says, "is the opportunity to get to know many families In the community. And of course you get to know the students except the healthy ones!"

WRAPPING UP the food editors conference, if any one point stands out, it's that food tastes across the country are no longer merely regional. We tasted Mexican foods, Italian foods, Southern dishes and New England dishes all of which are available to all of us no matter where we live, through frozen foods, Miss Dougherty finds that just the routine work of weighing, measuring, administering vaccines and maintaining the files makes a busy day, and she usually comes in early to get work done before the students arrive.

LINING: BASTE lining to poncho at neckline, right sides together; machine-stitch; trim seams; turn to right side and press.

Turn under circle edge of lining and slip-stitch to poncho. Unlined: Buy a little extra wool fabric and cut front and back neckline facings. Stitch facing together at shoulder and stitch to poncho neckline. Turn under raw edges of facing one-quarter inch and edge-stitch. Then tack to poncho.

Fringe: This is applied in the same way for lined and unlined ponchos. Before attaching the lining, turn under the edge of the poncho to the wrong side and top-stitch top of fringe to wrong side of poncho. Then slip-stitch to poncho. WHENEVER I sew a hem on bulky coats or jackets, the stitch marks can be seen, even though I only catch a thread of the fabric. Is a special stitch required? Mrs.

W.H. A The catch-stitch is generally best for this purpose. Work from left to right, crossing threads at each stitch. Catch only one or two threads of the fabric. Q-WHERE SHOULD I A school nurse must work closely with the deans and counsellors, informing them when a student seems to need their help.

TO BECOME a school nurse requires a registered nurse license and at least one year of training or two years of service in public health.

Q-I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE LOUNGING pants of stretch fabric for home wear. What types of stretch are available? Miss A. T. A There are three types: vertical, horizontal, and two-way. Either vertical or horizontal can be used for pants, but I suggest the horizontal stretch for casual clothes as against active (ski) sportswear because they give with the body.

They are more comfortable than the vertical that are held taut by a strap under the foot. The two-way stretch is only used for foundation garments.

Saute the rice from Lobster souffle sandwicbca By JACKIE SHARBOROUGH Women's Editor NEW YORK-One of these days I'm going to get used to having lobster for breakfast. So it says here. And so it would be if the South African Rock Lobster Corp. can keep on convincing me.

They do keep trying. Those of us attending the Newspaper Food Editors Conference sampled our way yesterday through a variety of breakfast and brunch foods-all made from lobster. THERE WAS Rock Lobster Rarebit Scramble, Oranged Rock Lobster with Rice Waffles; Broiler-Fried Rock Lobster with Hashed Browns, South African Souffle Sandwiches, and Lobster Hash. Want to surprise your family at Sunday morning breakfast? Here are some recipes for the lobster dishes.

You see lots of mother and daughter robes and dresses, but not too much In sportswear. Now that cold weather Is again with us, you'll find that matching ponchos are warm and fun to wear. Fashion them out of a heavy bulky fabric in a plain color, a check or a bold plaid.

FOR LINED PONCHO: Hi yards of wool, 54 inches wide for mother. (Yardage for daughter will depend on her size); any lining fabric; five yards of wool fringe (optional). To Cut: 1. Fold the fabric in half, selvages meeting. Draw a semicircle as shown in the diagram.

Cut neck opening with slit, large enough to go over head easily. Remember the bulky clothes to be worn underneath! 2. When trying the poncho on for fit, wear sweaters to be sure there is room enough at the neck. Cut lining in the same way. If narrower fabric is used for the lining, buy an extra yard and make shoulder seams, center front and center back seams.

3. To determine yardage for daughter, measure her from center front neckio the length you desire. Then make a paper pattern using this measurement to make your semicircle.
