MODES OF THE MOMENT

For the semi-dress occasion the
black charmeuse gown trimmed in vel
vet or brocaded ribbon is usurping the
place of the beaded gown. A long
lined black charmeuse has wide bands
Of electric blue velvet ribbon extend
ing from the dropped shoulder to below
the elbow where the charmeuse begins
again. White beads in tiny design
almost entirely cover the velvet. No
other trimming Is used.
Many Of the velvet hats have revers-
ible crowns with velvet on one side
and embroidered effects of metallic
cloth on the other. This treatment
provided a hat for dressy wear as well
as for street wear.
Crepe weaves continue to reign for
afternoon wear in preference to the
shiny surfaced fabrics.
The little draped turbans Of silver
or gold cloth which are SO popular in
Paris at present are being pressed into
prominence by many of the American
shops. They are designed for evening
wear and are suitable for any color
combination with which they are worn.

supple furs are used for suits and

coats are also worn with cloth skirts

Fats and Fat Foods.

First of all, the housekeeper who
consults this list of foods will prob
ably wish to know why these foods
were selected and what their signif-
canoe is Everyone knows that food
contains fuel for the human machine.
The fuel need for the average family
described above has been estimated
as 800 hundred-calorfe portions per
week.
In order that the diet should pro-
vide what is needed to maintain
health, one-fifth of this needed fuel
should come from vegetables and
fruits, one-fifth from milk, meat, eggs,
and other efficient-protein foods, three
tenths from cereals, one-tenth from
sweets, and one-ffth from fats. This
proportion has been maintained in the
above lists, for 100 hundred-calorie
portions are supplied by fruits and
vegetables; 100 hundred-calorie por-
tions by the ef1cient-protein foods;
24O hundred-calorie portions by the
cereal foods; so hundred-calorie por-
lions by the sweets; and 100 hundred
calorie portions by the fats.
If a housekeeper does not wish to
use just these foods in just these
amounts and wonders how the lists
can be altered without interfering
with the good proportions, she can
consult a table at the back of the
bulletin which gives practically all
the common food materials divided
into the five classes mentioned and
which shows the number of hundred
calorie portions per peck, per pound,
or per quart as the case may demand.
1t should, therefore, be an easy mat
ter to make up other lists having the
same proportions as the one given
above.
Many families will be different from
the average family here described,
but reference to a table given in the
bulletin will make it possible to esti-
mate the number OF hundred-calorie.

PREFER LoNG-HAIRED FURS
Wolf Trimming and Similar PeItry
Hold Favor; Beaver and Squirrel
Collars Shown.

There is a modified way Of handling
the voluminous lines of the new sea-
son that give grace and real comfort
to the wearer of such coats, bought,
first of all, from practical standpoint.
One manufacturer has made wear
ability his first consideration, and in
doing so has designed some smart and
popular numbers.
A preference is given to wolf trim
mings and long-haired furs, although
beaver and squirrel collars are, of
course, included in the showing.
Black ormadale has been used in
fashioning one very opulent-looking
model that is trimmed with plati-
mum wolf. Wide mandarin sleeves
make a nice complement to its full
back and tailored braiding defining
the sleeve section from the back is a
clever means of accenting their full
ness.
This model is typical Of group Of
lcoats showing varied sleeve treat
tments and braid uses that are smart.
lThe use of a raccoon collar on coat
Iof ormadale is one Of the particularly
novel notes introduced in the fur
trimmed styles. Untrimmed orma-
dale and bolivia numbers are an in
teresting part Of the showing, and in
these models the beauty Of the cheap
pile fabrics seem most pronounced.
Jenny sleeves and a Jenny neck
line are most aptly used on one of
these untrimmed coats. Scarf collars
edged with silk fringe and a modified

New Autumn Models Are Literally

Many of the Latest Afternoon Dresses
Made of Crepe Romano, Which

Fashion still pivots on trimmings,
asserts a fashion authority in the New
York Tribune. Apparently dressmak-
ers do not think that their clients are
ready to accept a new silhouette, con-
sequently they make little effort to
create one. Women have been so
definite as to what they would and
would not accept in the matter of sill
houette that designers still depend
upon trimmings to give variety to their
models
Discriminating women seemingly
have not had enough of embroidery.

MARLEEN, NEW FALL FABRIC
Soft Lustrous Fabric Is on the
Duvetyn Order; Comes in
Many Pretty Shades.

Among the new suits presented for
fall wear there are several new mate
rails seen. One of the most popular
is marleen, a soft lustrous fabric on
the duvetyn order. 1t comes in many
pretty shades in addition to the usual
navy and black. French blues and
all-brown shades are very effective in
this material.
There is a trim and girlish suit made
of French blue marleen. The skirt
is a straight, plain model but an inch
or two longer than the spring skirts
and the coat is one of the new long
models trimmed with loose tabs front
and back. Gray squirrel makes a
pretty contrast as a collar, cuffs and
tab trimmings.
