THE HOUSEHOLD
Where Are the Fat Ladies?
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE

A famous diet specialist recently
made the statement that the causes
of obesity are laziness, self indulgence,
lack of VIII power and ignorance" One
might rather hesitate at clubbing ones
fat friends lazy, se1f-indulgent, weak
willed and ignorant-especially if one
happened to be slightly plump ones
self
But every plumpish woman knows
in her heart of hearts that there is a
certain inherent Incidence in her ma
ture that lies at the root of her embon-
point. Sometimes she persuades her
self that she is no fatter than she
chooses to be-almost always she ar
CUES her husband into the statement
that he can't abide thin women. She
will usually tell you that her diet has
nothing to do with it. Did you ever
know fat woman who didn't claim
a light appetite? And did you ever
know a woman of ample waistline and
ampler hip line who admitted to pos
sessing persistent appetite?
Probably you didn't. Yet if you
could get at the secrets of this weight
Ter half of femininity you would find
that they were almost all of them
aware of the fact that sufficient exer-
else and sufficient curtailing of diet
would actually reduce their weight
And now the very conditions that they
were so loath to adopt towards them
selves have been thrust upon them
eltner as an absolute necessity or a
pretty persistent mandate of fashion.
HoSteSseS in general are divided into
two clasSes-those who can afford to
serve lavish refreshments and those
who, tho they can afford to do so,
would deem it unpatriotic and I'M
fashionable-for patriotism is the very
last cry in fashion-to do SO.
So, gradually, the pounds are drop
ping off. New clothes have to be
made little smaller this season than
last. How can it be otherwise {? If
you have dish of tea, a small lump
of sugar and slice of lemon and two
unbuttered waters as the only nourish-
ment served at a fashionable tea, in
stead of, dear knows, how many cal
cries worth of French pastry, Danish
pastry and every other kind of pastry,
creams and ices, salads, bonbons and
then more bonbons, how can you help
but lose few pounds now and then ?
If. instead of sitting luxuriously
playing bridge all the afternoon YOU
make houSe-to-house canvass in a
neighborhood where flats without ele-
vators prevail, in order to- persuade
the inhabitants to buy liberty bonds OF
to eat less wheat or less meat or to
give their mite to the Red Cross, how
possibly can you remain shaped like a
sultan's favorite? No, the fashionable
woman of the hour is either slender
or getting slender. We're really be-
ginning to miss the plump lady OF

AFTER LIGHT SLACKERS
All Who Do Not Help Save Fuel Sub
ject 10 Punishment.

Persistent electric light slackers,
business establishments and others
who refuse or neglect to observe light
less Thursday and Sunday nights by
turning off advertising signs and un-
necessary lights simply make them
selves liable to heavy federal penalties.
c. H. Danner. Shawnee county fuel
administrator, stated today that mer-
chants should regard the notices of
the lightless nights as they appeared
in the newspapers as bona fide and
official
Most of the merchants are observ-
ing the order" said Banner. ''I have
taken steps to notify those who are
able to control signs operated thru di-
rect meters, but haven't notified per
sonally those who control their own
signs and meters. If the latter fail to
observe the order. 1 will have to call
upon them personally. 1 suppose If
they persist in refusing after that
there will be nothing to do but turn
their names over to the federal district
attorneys office.
1.-The. penalty for disobeying an or
der of the fuel administration is a
maximum fine of 900 or one year in
Jail or both"
The firms which failed to observe
turning off the lights Sunday, gener-
ally did so purely thru oversight.

Their efforts were repulsed by our
fire. The artillery fighting was rather
vigorous on the left bank of the river
in the sector of Bethincourt. On the
remainder of the front the night was
calm.
"On December 81. % and % our
pursuit aviators were very active, our
pilots engaged in 100 combats, most of
them over the German lines. Eighteen
German machines were brought down.
OF these IT fell in flames or crashed
to the ground and were destroyed.
During this period our bombarding
squadrons dropped $4,000 Kilograms
(nearly twenty tons of projectiles) on
railway stations, factories, encamp-
ments and other objectives behind the
enemy's lines "

have gone on since the planet begat
man. even tho the first may have
been a bearskin rug and a great deal
of bare skin. Therefore, the costumes
of fighting men have not created as
much sensa ton in feminine apparel as
it was supposed they would do. 1t
is for this reason that the French
designers rarely incorporated any
military touches in their new clothes
until the U. S. A. soldiers came into
Paris.
Why should they have appealed to
them? Well, not only for sentimental
reasons, but for the fact that this was
brand new type of uniform to
| French eyes. Other uniforms were
too familiar ito them to create COM
I ment, but when the French saw ours,
with its khaki-colored flannel shirt
and it's sombrero with the pinched-in
crown, they became as enthusiastic as
children over a novelty. Therefore,
we get the American army uniform
! influence in modern dress.
The same psychological reasons ex-
list for. the introduction of the avia-
tors costume into clothes. These air
men are new kind of fighters to war
worn, war-torn Europe that has fought
i battles for thousands of years, but
always on land and on sea. The air
men wore curious clothes, and both
France and America saw a chance to
novelties suggested Dy
| these clothes into our apparel.
The Aviator's Cap.
The aviator's cape is not longer a
novelty, but the aviation cap, which
was launched here in October, has be-
! come the smart thing for outdoor
I sports and motoring in the country.
/ The sketch shows one made of green
velours. which is trimmed with gray
worsted and covers the entire head and
4 lower part of the face. These can be
knitted-if any woman has time to
1 knit for anyone except a soldier-and
! they can be made of any soft, durable
material that gives color to the face.
Young girls wear them in Burgundy
velveteen and line them with a dull
] shade of burnt orange or Chinese blue.
[ They are made in fur and lined with
satin and can be slipped over the head
when woman is in evening clothes.
In the Motor Equipment
They are also put into the handsome
town motor cars of those who care to
furnish them as they would boudoir,
with clocks, cosmetics, feet warmers,
| fur lap robes, cigarette cases. electric
lighters, baskets for poodle dogs and a
rack for books. Into this melee which
one finds in the fashionable motor and
which, by the way, is a very comfort
able way to surround ones self on
wheels, there is this aviator's cap in
fur. It has little pocket of its own
in the car. which is used for the even
ing, and it is slipped over the we'll
coiffed head of a woman to keep heI
locks in perfect trim for the opera,
dance or dinner, and also to avoid
neuralgia. If she is this inclined.

caps an excellent substitute for a hat
