NEW SPORT COATS OF LEATHER
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

were turned into Ainy day apparel
and they gave genuine service in that
capacity, except in summer when
they were far too warm for comfort
Then there came slump in the
fashion. Discerning women would
ments and they rather Stunned the
fabric for SO slight thing as trim
ming. Now the pendulum has swung
back to leather coats. The new idea
is to use them for sports.
There is much to be said agains,
to go in for the actual playing OF
games. They do not absorb mois-
ture and this is decidedly against
them. Flannel is by far the bes,
fabric for sports because of its ability
TO absorb
If the leather jacket is to be d
purely ornamental feature of the
landscape in the open on sum-
mer's day, then wear it by all means
1t is excessively decorative. When
in blight colors il adds to the gay
ETY. OF any costume.
The designers of these sport gar
ments have followed the trickery of
the season in placing lines of stitch
cry over the surface either in squares
or diamonds. Or they restrain them
selves. and merely place lines of
stitching at all edges. They do not
leave the surface plain and unadorn-
ed. That's certain
Look at the coat in the sketch. 1t
is of bright blue leather stitched with
gray. 1t is double-breasted, is minus
fastenings. has ripping peplum ef-
feet below the belt. long sleeves and
a wide collar with revers.
The belt is of gray leather match
ed by the shoes and stockings Gray
shoes for sports are widely accept
ed, you know; they carry off the hon
ors from black and brown. from
white and beige. from canvas. buck
skin and calf. Many of them seem
foolish with their high Spanish heels,
but one just throws up the hands in
despair when any reform in shoes is
mentioned Nearly everything is
fashionable, but the right thing.
Back to leather. 1t is rather
strange that the preference is given
to coats of it and not to skirts. which
is the other way around from tne
fashion of two seasons ago, when
brown and white leather skirts were
smart on golf links of southern re-
sorts in the winter.
\ The skirts built by the big houses
for leather coats are of loosely WOW
en- homespun. Plaid is chosen by the
young and plain surfaces by those
who should avoid design There is
slight regard shown by conservative
women aer the bright plaids. They
prefer one-color stripe, which forms
large open squares.
In ali these new sport skirts there
is no evidence of the struggle be-
tween the long and short lengths.
The battle line does not reach into
short. They are in
tended to show the new thin type of
wooden stocking in wood colors, or
the shoes.

| Most leaves used as foods can be
classed together for they resemble one
another in their dietary properties. Re-
cent investga ton by McCollum and his
Colleagues shows that dried leaf food
contains from three to five times as
.hush ash constituent as grain food. and
~ always especially rich in just those
clements in which grain is poor. name
iy. calcium, sodium and chlorine. 1t
follows that in diet the leaf food sup
plements the deficiency of such grain
like.
The leaf Of a plant is rich in cellular
structure, but contains little reserve
food material, whereas the grain of a
plant is just the other way, consisting
mostly of reserve. inorganic food in the
endoSperm, and of only some of the i'm
portant dietary factors, known chem
ically "water-soluble B" and fat
soluble A in the germ Moreover, the
grains we eat are very often robbed of
the germ, and we do not get even that
supply, small as it is, to supplement the
deficiency of the endosperm.
The leaf Of plant gets carbonic acid
salts from the solid through it's roots,
and so builds up proteins, starches.
sugar and fats. which are used either
to grow more leaves or for storage in
the seed or tuber When we eat leaves.
therefore, we eat really a mosaic of liv-
ing cells which contain all the chemical
combinations necessary for the nutri-
ton of ainal life. In quality, leaves
are complete foods, but in quantity, hu-
man beings, and, indeed animals. need
more than leaves supply. This quantity
they can get from grains. Grain is good
food, but needs to be supplemented by
the vital ash wealth of the leaf foods.

Slender Ankles.

In England they have a process of
reducing fat ankles by sweating off
the flesh and by massaging very Wig
orously to break up and scatter the
fatty deposits. They also advocate,
as some of our beauty parlors here
do, wearing snug rubber strappings
around the ankles as a means of re-
duction.
Now, do you happen to know that
eating TOO much salt sometime $
causes thick ankles. A great many
doctors do not even know that. But
the best chiropodists do-that being
part of their work. perhaps. With
out going into too many scientific
details about it. there are certain
little muscles and ligaments running
up the back of the ankle which swell
when the system has been fed too
much salt.
Take Your hand and feel he heel
OF your bare foot. Now run the
fingers up the ankle. pressing in on
li2ament and the ankle bone. This
part is usually very slender it goes
in" giving a trim shape to the ankle.
This is the part that. according to
chiropodists. sWells when there is
too much salt in the body.
OF course salt does not always ac-
count for thick ankles. Look at
yours, and decide whether that little
part in the back is slender or fat.
Decide whether you eat a great deal
Of salt or not. Don't, in any case
eliminate salt from your food; some
is necessary as wei! as tasty, only
don't overdo it
If this is not the cause. too much
flesh all over the body may be a rea-
son In that event. reduce. Mean
time. wear high shoes, laced in snug
ly. These will help immensely in
making the ankles slender.
From correspondent comes a
novel suggestion for cleaning hair
brushes. She states that she uses
a washboard either in the stationary
tubs or the bathtub. to avoid being
splashed- She uses a bar Of soap
on the ridges Of the washboard and
proceeds to rub the bristles Of the
brush back and forth over the board,
in the saem manner as washing
clothing.
She claims that the work Is accom-
plshed more quickly and better than
the ordinary way of scrubbing the
bristles with the fngertips anu
avoids all the unpleasant scattering

Skewered Smells.

Smelts skewered in rings. using a
wooden toothpick to hold the heads
and tails together, dipped in milk
well Toured and fried in deep fat

skewers can be removed before serv-
ing. as the fish will usually keep their
shape. Garnish the plate on which
the fish are served with cress and
slices Of lemon rolled in finely minced
parsley. If the smelts are to furnish
the main part OF the meal. pile them
in the center of hot platter and
surround them with a border OF

1t Is not necessary to write the lyric

Horsemen." Thi stitle does not lend
itself to a popular song.
AS a suggestion, take the title
Julio" who is the leading male
character in the -Four Horsemen Of
the Apocalypse" now showing in
Polls Theater or the title Mar
guerite," which is the part played
by Miss Alice Terry, composer Of this
fox trot.
In composing songs 1t is necessary
to write two verses and one chorus.
The winner of the first prize Of
