LESS FOOD PRODUCES BEAUTY
Considerable Girl Learns Early to Sc
Iect Diet That Will Serve Body
in Making It Strong.

The really dainty girl learns early to
control her eating; to make her food
serve her body in making it strong,
healthy ard glowing with pure blood,
and Astounding vitality. She knows that
vegetables, fruits, rye and whole wheat
breads, and little meat, are the fuels
best fitted for making her what she
wants to be, notes writer in Homo
Life. Being girl, she eats daintily
of sweets. pickles and other injurious
foods and nonfoods. She never german
dies. The girl who eats like this is
most likely, when she is seventy years
old, to be free from govt, rheumatic
pains and heart trouble.
Even the prettiest and most perfect
of girls need artificial aids in heighten-
ing and retaining their beauty. Not
paints and pencils. They never need
these, and should never use them until
past middle age. But creams and
washes are essential.

Frivolous Hats.

With her costumes in dark colors,
the Parisienne is wearing a hat Of
some frivolous shade, and a soft rose
is first in favor. These hats are made
of velvet; the material is shirred on
the brim, sometimes with long silk
stitches which show plainly. The
crowns are unusually high and the
trimming of the simplest, a mere band
or bow Of the same fabric, says Vogue.
Lewis is making them by dozens, and
they are worn so far down on the head
that they completely cover the eye
brows. We must learn to recognize
each feminine acquaintance by her
nose. That is all the mode permits US
to see. Hats down and collars up is

The number of women now employ

honesty is very great, but it is rare
that any embezzlement, defalcation or

New Styles Simple.

Trimness and simplicity are particu-
larry notable in street dresses. Al
though afternoon dresses may be cut
on similar lines, there Is decided
tendency toward the use of two mate
rails, silk crepe and satin, crepe and
serge. ETC., and there is great amount
Of drapery and pleats in evidence.
Richness Of effect is added to many
dresses by the use of satin body lin
ing under crepe, in contrasting or self
color. Loose panels and pleated pam
els in varied lengths predominant in
street dresses. and there is a prepon-
denance of the turnover collar extend
ing to the waistline. The regulating
round or square collar also continues
to he popular. A new coat dress shows
a standing collar, the dress fastening
on the side to the waistline.

France sends the narrow silhouette

Gown for Afternoon and Evening.
Now, as a browning effort Of con-

the new afternoon gown which Is worn
in the evening. 1t is made of thin ma

or short, and it has half-decOlletage.
1t has indefinite variety, often it blazes
with color, again it is subdued to black

worn for every indoor occasion from
four in the afternoon until midnight.
Such a frock saves the buying of
many shoes. 1t is a stroke Of that
Illuminating inspiration that the
French have when they put their
minds to economy. There is nothing
drab or mournful about French econ

a pedestal and make it desirable for
even those who do not stare economy

Their honesty is perhaps to be ex-

women of many of the temptations to
which men so often lay themselves
open, and also in great measure by
that sensitiveness as to reputation
which is more acute among women
