I st have been hasty, too" said he.
mo, no." interrupted Mr.. Pickwick;
"the fault was mine. You will wear
the green velvet jacket?"
mo, mol" replied Mr.. Tupman.
ITO oblige me, you will" resumed Mr..
Pickwick.
well, well, will" said Mr.. Tupman.
It was accordingly settled that Mr..
Tupn1an, Mr.. Wrinkle and Mr. Snod-
grass should all wear fancy dresses.
Thus Mr.. Pickwick was led bv the
very warmth of his own good feelings
| to give his consent to a proceeding
from which his better Judgment would
have recoiled; more striking Illus
| tration of his amiable character could
| hardly have been conceived, even II the
events recorded in these pages had been
wholly imaginary.
Mr.. Leo Hunter had not exaggerated
| the resources of Mr.. Solomon Lucas as
costume outfltter His wardrobe was
extensive-very eXtensive-not. strictly
classical, perhaps, nor quite new; nor
did it contain any one garment made
precisely after the fashion of any age
or time, but everything was more or
less spangled--ar1d what can be pref
tier than spangles?
| 1t may be objected that the spangles
are not adapted to the daylight, but
everybody knows that they would gilt
ter if there were lamps; and nothing
can be clearer than that If pc-~le give
fancy balls in the T. time and the
dresses do not show quite as well as
they would by night, the fault lies
solely with the people who give the
fancy balls and is in nowise charge
able on the spangles.
Such was the convincing reasoning
of Mr.. Solomon Lucas. Influenced by
such arguments, Mr.. Tupman, Mr..
Wrinkle and Mr.. Snodgrass engaged to
array themselves In costumes which
his taste and experience induced him
to recommand as admirably suited to
the occasion. Mr.. Tupman was in full
hrigand's costume-tight jacket velvet
shorts, bandaged lower legs, mustache,
sugar-loaf hat. Mr.. Snodgrass wore
blue satin trunks and cloak, white silk
tights and shoes and Grecian helmet
a troubadour Mr. Wrinkle in a light
red eoat-either sportsman or a
postman.

practically the problems of selecting
and preparing food for small children.

weight below normal in order to be
fashionably thin. The second is COM
posed of those who reduce at too rapid
q rate b. fasting, violent exercise Or
the use of drugs.
Freak diets that fail to supply the
body with a balanced ration of pro-
teins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and
vitamins may be effective in reducing
weight, but they also cause disease.
It is unwise to omit entirely any one of
the five food elements. The fattening
foods (atarches, fats and sugars) may
be lfIn6Aed in the reducing diet, but
should not be eliminated.
The sensible way to cut down on
those fattening items is to inclu lie only
one sort of food from each of the5e
three groups in ones daily diet. For
example, If you eat potatoes. do not
eat any bread, rice, cereal, canned corn
or macaroni at the same meal. If you
eat butter, do not take any mayennaise
dressing, cream, bacon, rich gravy or
any other fats at that meal. If you
take little sugar in your coffee, do not
put any on cereal or fruit. and do not
take any Jelly or sweet cakes.
While there are few would-be re-
ducers who have the self-cont-ol to fast
to the point of death, there are thou
sands who keep themselves in q half
starved, anemic condition, which makes
them easy victims to disease. When
these latter come to an untimely end.
death is not always attributed to their
weakening reducing diet, but to the
particular infection that carried them
of.
Perhaps the greatest damage that
results from unwise reducing methods
is the enormous lowering of efficiency
that they cause among psople who con-
sider themselves in good health, but
who are really always just below par
physically and mentally because OF a
poorly balanced diet. These are the
people who miss success by a small
margin, because at the critical mo-
ment they lack a reserve of energy tt .
would have enabled them to grasp
their opportunity.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November "a
Half the fun in producing sound pic
lures is finding where the sound is
coming from.
Which sounds like a paradox, but
really isn't if yeu know the inside-out
OF the new and difficult process. Get
ting the artists voice Is one thing:
Kidding it of the IS" sound is another:
eliminating the lisp is third.
But Keeping static ratties out of tbs
nnlshed prodect is more work than all
the others combined.
Silk is the deadly enemy of the sound
picture. Silk hosiery rubbing together,
make no audible noise to those in the
Soundproof room where the picture Is
being made. But when the reel is run
on for trial a distressing, rafting
noise results. So bare legs become the
order In sound pictures.
Stars have to wear batiste lingerie.
SIX undergarments produce the same
static that hosiery does. Responsibility
OF the wardrobe mistress and director
Is doubled thereby. No tafeta frocks
can be used at all Silk Innings must
be taken out of coats. Of course, ling
Ing OF beads or metal trimming is out
Of the question.
Recently Alice White was making a
E ina picture, the repeated tests of
Whlch revealed distressing static. She
protested that she was wearing nothing
made OF silk, but the wardrobe mistress
was hnally called in to pass on her
underclothing and verify it.
When cameramen, director and tech
nical staff were nearly insane trying to
locate the mischief it was discovered
that the static was caused by the cleo
trlcity IN Alice Whites hair, which had
been washed and waved. The hair
dresser was sent in and the head prop
erly oiled which did away with the
noise.
Russell Gleason had all the silk lin
fngs taken out of his coats for a recent
sound picture. Bob Armstrong had to
substitute the soft wool sports clothes
~ the corduroys he was wearing in a
picture. The rubbing of the rough
material wrecked the sound results.
Al Santell deduces from his expert
ments with sound, both in Hollywood
and New York, that chiffon gowns and
frocks of the softest materials will be a
vogue for the coming year, probably
due to the fact that these are the t--'~ss
of clothes which stars will wear in the
new films.
But take heart, girls, Hollywood only
thinks she dictates the fashions of the
feminine world. Paris is still doing
business at the old stand.
When you hear Of the trials of extra
girls, think of Mona Rica a little --exi-
can lassie who worked as an extra in
HOLLYWOOD for just eight days. Her
hands were so lovely that the director

Safety in Reducing.

A letter from one of my youngc-
readers asking how much weight she
could lose by fasting two weeks has
prompted me to devote todays beauty
talk to a discussion Of the risk in dras-
tic reducing programs. How far may
one go in this direction without losing
ones health?
Complete abstinence from food and
water for little more than a week
results in death. Most faSters, how
ever, drink water and thus prolong
their lives for a much longer period.

CONSTITUTIONS ARE WORKS
OF AGES, HINDEN DECLARES

The text Of Benjamin Earl Hinden's
speech. delivered in the Fifth National
Oratorical Contest finals last night as
The Star champions bid for the cham
pionship, follows:
Constitutions are not struck OF in
a single convention; they are the slow.
deliberative work Of ages. When the
American Constitution was flrst pre-
sented TO the people OF the several
States they did not receive II RS
masterpiece Of statecraft. They were
human, excitable and suspicious OF the
true character OF its provisions. Fear
ing that 1t waS drafted solely TO rob
them OF their liberties, they did not
hesitate TO employ any means to pre-
vent its ratification. Howling mobs
burned copies OF IL on Boston Common.
In Pennsylvania IL was denounceu as
the work OF political knayes In Viz
ginia II was ranked with the stamp
act and the Boston port bin. But In
this hour OF gloom and darkness there
appeared in the person OF Alexander
Hamilton the incarnation of the Con-
stitution He captured the people OF
the whole country for the Cons1 luton
by his papers IN the Federalist and
conquered the nnstlIe majority IN the
New York convention by the splendor
Of his 0ratory And from the hour That
the Constitution went into effect. Amer
ica ceased TO be l3 States, enyiollg and
jealous OF one another, end became the
Republic OF the United States
When. in 1889. the new Government
created BY the Constitution was estab-
iished. there were In the Nation two
conflicting theories as 10 the true nature
Of the government 10 be instituted; one,
that cf a grong. centralized govern
nIent. independent and sovereign: the
other, that OF confederacy Of states.
responsible only 10 the states. The
question narrowed Itself down TO this:
How much power did the central Gov
efnment possess and how much had
been reserved 10 the individual States2
Upon the answer 70 this question hung
