"More 1 things look good on her," she said. She pointed out that most models come in the 5 feet 7 inches and above classificationthe heights for which Miss Newton designs.

"Although," she said, "at the rate the younger generations are growing, pretty soon that will be just average. Some of my early customers now bring in their daughters; daughter invariably is a couple of inches taller than mother." The designer believes hers is the first shop in the world to cater exclusively to the tall set. She established it in 1940, after several years of working on a style magazine.

STOOPED POSTURE "Her biggest problem seems to be posture a tendency to stoop in the shoulders, probably from having to look down on all those people below.

"One of my customers said she whipped the posture problem by following her mother advice "Now hold your shoulders back, and don lope.

TIMELY GIFT A recipe collection for gift-giving, aptly titled for this particular season of the year, is "Tin; diana, faces it in a very different manner: 'This year we've had a lot" of extra expense, so I've decided to help out the family budget by making our Christmas presents.

"I have a wonderful recipe for Norwegian Christmas cookies which my great-aunt gave me. I ve made up a lot of them they make the house smell wonderful and now my two sons have collected and painted loads of tin boxes. They've designed them with Norwegian motifs, such as the flag or a spruce tree. They'll be a great hit, I'm sure. And I've got a tip for any one else in this position.

AVOID SELF-PITY "Don't feel sorry for yourself because you have no money to buy expensive presents granted it is easier than making things and putting in lots of hard work. At first I did, but I saw it was a losing proposition. "Instead, I said to myself, "This is necessary because budget is limited. Moreover, I'm going to do this project in a businesslike way and- resolve, after the holidays, to make a small home business of it. That way, I'll make enough money this coming year to be able to buy presents.

Knowing that this is practice for the big time, not just hard work and economy, will make it seem more "It works like a dream!" she added, "I do have a talent for baking, and there's no reason why I shouldn't contribute it to the family. So when I get tired of all the baking and start wondering if my friends will be disappointed in the cookies when they get them, I just remind myself, as the saying goes, that this is only the beginning!" It's a good point of view if you, too, are stuck with a lot of hard work and homemade presents. Actually, of course, most of your friends will be delighted to get them. If, Christmas presents aside, you're interested in making money at home, send me a stamped, self addressed envelope in care of this newspaper and I'll send you my list of good books on the subject.

Another, like a reader In In "-Club's Annual Dance teen-ager? How would you like WORRIED MOTHER I "It's not says Mrs.

Re-gina Fischer of Brooklyn. Her 15-year-old son, Bobby, is a genius at chess. He won the United States championship at 14 and this summer became the youngest international Grand Master in history. His one dream is to snatch the world chess crown from the present champion, Russia's Mik-nad Botvinnik. One of Mrs.

Fischer's definitely "not easy" moments came this summer when Bobby appeared to be stranded in Yugoslavia after his first international tourna- ment. "He had a round trip but nobody made any reservations for him and he couldn't get a plane. I knew he'd spent most of his money at the World Fair in Belgium and I was afraid the Yugoslav Chess Federation wouldn't go on paying for him after the tournament had ended. "I went to the Yugoslav Embassy but it was the week-end and I couldn't find anybody. I tried to call Bobby, but they said he had left by train.

"I was really worried. I knew he was loaded with books and I didn't see how he could man- age. He doesn't speak the lan guage. I could just see him sleep-in a train station somewhere and people stealing everything he had." But Bobby used his tournament prize money to get to Munich where he found plane space home. WON TICKETS Chess is not a popular game and there are ho funds to send the American champion to tourn aments.

Bobby won two tickets to Yugoslavia on a television program. His 21-year-old sister, Joan, took the second. Bobby doesn like the idea of his mother going around with him to tournaments. Besides, I figured it would be better for me to be here in case anything was needed money, primarily. She laughed ruefully a slen der, dark-haired woman with a smiling mouth in a genuine face.

The Fischers separated when Bobby was 2 and Mrs. Fischer raised her two children on her earnings as a nurse. NO 'PROBLEM' CHILD "I don't discipline Bobby. He's too big. Anyway, there's not much to say.

He comes home and sticks his nose in a chess book, stops to eat, and he's back again until it time to go to bed. "Bobby's one of the ones who plays for blood, as they say in chess. He's serious. He has to study all the time. The countries publish pamphlets and books at a great rate new openings always being worked out.

"He's not interested in girls yet they don't play chess. He doesn'f smoke or drink. He does chew his nails down to the bone, but I'm afraid to make him stop. I don't know what he might take up. "Some of these chess players twitch all over.
