Oriental Influence Is Growing
BY MARY MARSHALL.

While the women Of the Orient--of
Turkey. China, Japan especialIy-are
going steadily forward in their adop-
tion~ Of Occidental dress. the dress OF
Occidental women shows more and
more the effect of Oriental influence
so these Oriental women do not have
so far to go in accustOming them
selves to Paris fashions as they would
have had they had courage to adopt it
80 years ago.
This Oriental influence Is every sea
son discernible in certain details OF
the mode, and within the past few
weeks j have seen number OF hats
from Paris that look very much an II
some Of the niIliners had been going
to japanese prints for their inspira-
tim. Suzanne Talbot has made some
Of these little, close-ftting bonnets
that are especially becoming to the
woman Of oval. olive face. almond
eyes and finely penciled eyebrows.
There are perhaps more women OF
this type to be found in France than
here, but even here the type Is not
rare. And, Of course. many women
will not consider their type. II they
like the Japanesque little bonnets. they
will wear them even IL they are round
faced blends with for: compilations.
Thn ability to fit accurately Is as i'm
pOrtant nowadays to the milliner as 1t
Is to the dressmaker or tailor. II she
will not or cannot do this, she will
lack customers. no matter how smart
ly designed and draped her hats may
be. Even the merest fraction OF an
inch makes a real difference, both as
to comfort and effectiveness Of the
new hats. II you buy your hats ready
made, this frequently means trying
on hat after hat before one can be
found Of exactly the right head size.
One or two little hats may be made
at trifiing cost If you are clever enough
to make them yourself. And you
really don't have to be so terribly
clever, either. IL you have a good pat |
tern. For this weeks help we have |
procured the pattern of a really smart |
sort of hat that can be made from a

For the Coming Year.

There are happily very few people
who are so self-satisfied that they do
not welcome the chance to start the
new year afresh with new resolutions.
A backward glance over 1927 will re-
veal many flaws TO those who are can
did with themselves. A year ago some
of US decided to make the most of our
opportunities for beauty and health.
but l wonder how many can say that
they have done so. II Is so easy TO
decide on a beauty program for self
improvement and so hard 10 live up TO
it. But we should not become discour-
aged on that account.
In order to know what TO do toward
making the most OF ourselves We
should take stock, and this is a good
time for doing so. Rule two columns
on a sheet of paper and head one
Beauty Assets and the other
Beauty Blemishes." Under the first
head list your good points. such as
pretty eyes, good profile. nice hair,
shapely hands. etc. On the other side
OF the line put down your beauty
problems. which may include pimples.
whiteheads. overweight, excessive
dandruff. large hips. double chin. thin
lashes. etc. Don't be alarmed IL there
il a long list OF blemishes. because
many OF them may be traced TO a
single source that may readily be re-
moved.
II. wher you have finished your list
OF assets and liabilities. you do not
know Just how 20 begin remedying
the defects. I shall be glad 10 advise
you. Write me fully about your prob
lens. inclosing a stamped. seif-ad-
dressed envelope. and shall give your
letter my personal attention. The
trial-and.error method OF treating
beauty problems is usually unsatisfac-
tory. II is wiser TO find out just what

Making up the household budget is
one of the many things thrifty home
makers are apt to do at the beginning
OF the new year. The scale of proper
tions has changed materially within
the past few years. In the matter of
rent alone there is a difference of 5
per cent. One-fourth of the family
income used to he considered the right
amount to use for shelter. Now ii has
dwindled one-fifth, and 20 per cent is
estimated as correct. With rents
high, this lessening of the proportion
OF income allotted TO it may seem
strange. but it has had to be so in
order to meet the increase in other
lines.
In clothing, for instance. s per cent
used TO be ample. Now it requires y
per cent of the income TO meet neceS-
sites. The advance in the price of
wooden goods and other clothing COM
modities is responsible. This increase
in the clothing budget has turned
many women's attention to the max
ing OF their own clothes and the doing
of their own millinery. In this way
the IL per cent can be somewhat cut
down and other items increased.
The amount allotted for food has In
creased enormously Every housewife
realizes that it costs double the sum
TO provide for the table now than it
did when our mothers were housekeep-
ing. But there is another point to be
considered, and that is that we expect
things for our menus that they never
did-tomatoes In Winter. for instance.
Spinach. string beans and other vege-
tables that they used to can and not
consider using fresh during the time
when they were out of season, we
think nothing of having during all the
seasons of the year. II we set as con.
sistent tables according to what each
season provided, our own would cost
somewhat less, AM in many instances
q great deal less, than they do now.
Budgets now include what the old

WHY WE Do WHAT WE Do
By MEHRAN X. THOMSON, PHI. ID.

No one forced you to make new
year resolutions. II you made them
you sincerely meant TO keep them.
And If you broke your resolutions. as
most of Us do. why did you?
You wanted 10 do a good job. so you
picked on your worst habits. But
these often are the most strongly en-
trenched. The struggle in making up
your mind to part with these old
cronies lowered your vitality and
power of resistance. II takes greater
energy to master yourself than II does
10 fight another. for you cannot escape
yourself by running away. He who
conquers himself is indeed greater
than he who takes a city.
You probably handicap yourself
by fighting hard. That Is the worst
thing you car do. II Is very bad

time ones seldom did. and that is an
apportionment for amusements. 1t
must of necessity be small, but, then,
this sum includes extra entertainment
and not that which comes from de-
lightful intercourse with friends. 1t
includes theater tickets, those to the
movies and like expenditures.
Today l am giving a schedule for a
budget which has been carefully
worked out by ex,'arts. II may prove
OF assistance to those who are puzzled.
Please remember that every household
budget must be regulated to suit the
especial needs of the family. Where
persons enjoy excellent health. for ex-
ample, the miscellaneous proportion
can be diminished, and IL one makes
much of her own clothing the sum
percentages for that item can be cut.
1t may be necessary TO regulate per-
centages to meet larger proportions
required for rents. You will also no.
tice that the full 1.-THE or tenth of an
income is allotted. i may add that il
has been found on investigation that
the persons who were most punctiii.
Gus in giving one-tenth were in most
instances those who were most sue
cessful in amassing fortunes. Per-
haps the reason is that they were also
very careful in all expenditures. or 1t
may be that the sums given in this
way returned like the proverbial
bread cast upon the water. Whatever
the reason, it makes us think when
making budgets that 1t may be wise
not to cut down on the apportionmcnt.

Shelter@20 per cent.
Food-30 per cent.
