Ofhterest TO Women
WORK OF AMERICAN DESIGNERS.
by ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

There is the sharp strike Of new
thought in gowns that are coming
fresh from the hands of American de-
signers. Is it possible Aat we are
being Influenced by the wastes of
grandeur and the dramatic past Of
our ancient and vanished tribes in
stead Of waiting to see whether PARIS

With their rare colors, superfmposed:
an arrow pointing to the study OF
our deserts and their sunsets. to Santa
Fe and the New Mexico atmosphere,
of color and dramatics? There is a
set of young artists who have gone
there for their new kind of work;
there is. the startling new sculpture
shown in it's most Impressive form
in the state house of Nebraska, which
gives one q tremendous feeling of the
power Of our own brooding deserts. :,
There is John Sloan with his vivid
canvases of that country; Emily Post s

desert.
With these modernists turning to
New Mexico. to the opalescent glory
of sky and mountain and sand, why
should not our designers see their
chance and make much of it as they
have in these new shimmering frocks
that might be part of New Mexico
scenery? They have builded color on
color in shimmering fabrics, translu-
cent fabrics that are like atmosphere.
Yellow throws it's shadow over blue
and sunset pink glows over the whole.
The sketch shows such a design. 1t
might be called Desert Sunset" The
yellow tulle is beaded in sunset colors
and edged with faint gold. Beneath
is the simmer of blue. Cascading
over it is sunset pink ribbon, one long
end at the back. two shorter ones on
the side. The fabrics are too soft to
mar the figure and they cling and
swirl without marked and we'll de-
fined contour, which is the quality
that makes for grace in a gown, es-
pecially if the figure beneath the
drapery is the tall Anglo-Saxon one.
Several of the designers are assem-
bling these house frocks and tea
gowns as though one influence were at
work behind the scenes. They have
not been brought from Paris. They
are worked out along the lines need
ed by the average American woman.
Sometimes they are garish and then
they become oriental and are not in
the desert spirit. 1t needs a colorist

So dental science has for years sought
ways to fight that film. Efficient ways
have now been found and proved by con-
vincing tests. Authorities approve and
advise them. And the teeth of millions
are already being protected by them.

To combat the film

The purpose is to combat film on teeth.
Film is that viscous coat you feel. 1t
clings to teeth, enters erevices and stays.
Old methods Of teeth cleaning did not
end it. So month after month, on count
less teeth, it may do ceaseless damage.
Most tooth troubles are now traced to
film. And those troubles, despite the
tooth brush, have been constantly in
ereasine, So fln1-remova1 is nowadays
considered all-important.

Polishes
so teeth glisten
and film cannot
easily adhere
Quick, visible results

The benefits of Pepsodent are quick
and apparent. You see and feel them
every time you use it. Within ten days
you'll realize well how much this new
way means.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another
multiplies the starch digestant in the
saliva, to digest starch deposits that
cling. The alkalinity of the saliva is null
tiplied also, to neutralize the acids which
cause tooth decay.
Two factors directly attack the film.
One of them keeps teeth so highly pol
ished that film cannot easily adhere.
The film itself is twice day combated
in most effective ways.

Millions Of white teeth

Millions now use Pepsodent. The glisten-
ing teeth seen everywhere show one thing
that it means.
To children it is most important, for young
teeth are most subject to decay. Men who
smoke and stain the film will see conspicuous
effects. Women's teeth will be made to look
their best.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1920-09-20
Everyone should know

Everybody, young and old, should
know Of these effects. Old methods of
teeth cleaning do not bring them.
Send the coupon for the To-Day Tube.
Note how clean the teeth feel after using.
Mark the absence of the viscous film.
See how teeth wfiten as the flm-coats
disappear. Watch all the results. and the
book we send will tell the meaning Of
them.
Do this for your sake and the chill
dren's sake. It means whittier, cleaner,
safer teeth. It means results you want
and which you cannot get without it.
Cut out the coupon now. This is too
important to forget.
