SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-


TT Is said that clothes make
the man, implying, of course
that clothes enhance the person
atty value Of a man, that the
finer his clothes the more &C:
ceptable and better liked he VIII
be.
old saying.
Women certainly realize the
truth of It. They know how
much clothes mean In getting
their own personalities across to
others.
However, what / want to stress
today is not so much the effect
of clothes upon others as the
effect of clothes upon the wearer
himself.
Every man knows how differ
ent he feels when he wears q
dress suit as compared to a pair
of overalls.
Note also how out-of-place one
feels when wearing a business
suit or a street dress, as the
case may be, in gathering
where the boiled shirt and the
decollete are the order OF the day.
Then observe yourself when you
get into an old suit, patched or
perhaps torn at the knees!
Or when you don flannels or
golf togs, or get into a bathing
suit!
Isn't it true that not only do
you feel out of 1t IL your clothes
do not match the occasion, but
actually that you try to live UP
to your clothes?
The man in evening dress feels
impelled to act formally and dis
play all the polished manner he
can muster.
The man in flannels begins to
jump around and be active and
athletic.
Put on dungarees and i'm
mediately you want to mess
around with the car and get
dirty.
When a woman ties on a
kitchen apron she feels domestic.
High-heeled shoes put a woman
in an entirely different humor
than do low.heeled ones.
When silk stockings were not
worn as commonly as now, what
a difference it made with girls
emotions to wear a pair2
And hats! / know a man who,
whenever he expects to meet any
one prominent, wears his derby.
This is not because he thinks he
looks more dignified. He actual.
ly feels more dignified.
Undoubtedly the stimulating eft.
feet of clothes upon the wearer
has had much to do with the
rules of style for various oc-
MANY women can and do
change their moods with change
of dress.
The man who wears the same
suit every day, or the same pair
of shoes, and does not change to
another until either wears out. is
really making a mistake. Two
suits last about twice as long as
one, so there Is no economy in
the former method.
But what a difference upon the
Individuals spirit!
The same may be said about
colors.

TIME average man needs a lot

fortunately, the Lord made woman
far more eager to be needed than

One of the great mysteries OF
life to modern wives and solI-
widows, is why the manufactur'
ers go right on making house
coats and house slippers for men.
When a man says. IT never
loved like THIS before!" don't
doubt him. A man falls in love
with so much ease and facility
each time that he scarcely recog-
nizes it as the same old emotion.
Many a man who will cheer
fully pay any price for. synthetic
liquor, will balk at paving the
price Of genuine 100-proof love.
A mans kisses are first careful,
then eager, then rapturous. then
tender, then casual. But his love
is not actually dead until they
become dutiful.
A kiss may not amount to much
in itself these days, but 1t is still
equivalent to running up the
white flag to let the enemy know
he surrenders the frontier.
The trouble with the modern
love affair is that it is just
little prologue, with an abrupt
ending, no suspense, no thrills, no
plot and no continuity.

One Of the most beautiful among the few lines that have
been preserved of all the writings of sappho reads
"once loved thee Athis, long ago.
Nobody knows who Aths was, nobody knows much
sappho about her island where according Byron
she burned and loved and sung But that line stands out
beautiful and clear after more than 1000 years.

Lucien Lelong suggests that the

if the natural color of her hair

well bornzad, and whose hair is
brown rather than black. Following
this principle, the colors chosen will
be the beiges, the browns, the gregg,

tinually fashionable eve since wom-

only can create a splendid harmony
with her complexion, but also Of
fers the most effective foil to her
eyes.
The most dangerous colors for
blue-eyed brunettes to attempt to
wear are the reds and pinks. In
fact, unless she has a great skill
with colors herself, or unless she
has a very competent adviser in her
dressmaker, 7 should caution her to
avoid them entirely. All reds (and
pink is reduced red) are compile
mentary colors to greens, and by
wearing any Of the red tones, the
blue-eyed woman risks accentuating
any tone in green that may exist in
her eyes.
7 do not say that this would al
ways be of a bad effect. For in
stance, I would counsel a client, the
color of whose eyes made it possible,
to use pink or red, if it would give
her the appearance Of having en-
erald eyes; but unless one were aim
ing to such a striking effect, T think
it might be wiser to let the reddish
tones alone and confine the clothes
colors to the cool blue-greens, grays
and to the yellow browns.

Eyed Brunette
Keys Colors to Eyes
BY LUCIEN LELONG

The problem of dressing the blue
eyed brunette is very similar to her
problem in the choice of makeup
colors, but the variety possible in
dress colors makes the choice some
easier. However, I think that the
woman with blue eyes and dark hair
will gain by restraining her choice
in colors. She can, as I see it, key
the colors Of her clothes with her
eyes, OF if the natural color Of her
hair offers a good contrast with her
eyes, she can choose her dress col
ors to harmonic with her hair and
contrast with her eyes.
Both principles will give quite
enough latitude to vary her dress
ing. The color Of dark blue eyes is
so varied that the woman must use
a great deal Of ~"finesse" in the Sc
lection of colorS intended to harmo-
nize with them. WI say, blue eyes,
but the term actually covers eye
colors which would be called blue
greens, grays or even greens, were
we to see them, say, in a piece of
cloth. Consequently, each woman
must approach the problem with the
utmost franknesS. That her eyes
may seem blue to the world, she
must be willing to acknowledge to
herself that they are one or another
odd shade, and to choose in her
dressing tones less lively in the
same color.
Colors for Summer
In my summer collection, I have
included a number Of dusty greens,
blush grays and faded blue tones,
which will give each blue-eyed wom-
an a large choice. These more sub
dued shades. of the color intensity
the eyes by means of giving them
a neutral but harmonious back
ground. 1t is also possible to wear
a violet or a green much more
intense than the eyes, and thus
offer them a contrast with its link
Of harmony.
Thus, by wearing an intense green,
the woman with greenish-blue eyes
will create the illusion Of having
sapphire color orbs, while the WON
an whose eyes incline to violet tones
may wear the greenish- blue to
heighten the unusual shades of her
optics. All the soft grays naturally
will fall into the scheme of height
ening the eye colors. Black is also
a perfect color for the blue-eyed
woman whose hair is jet black.
Dressing, keyed to the color of the
hair or of the complexion is also
a successful principle for the blue
eyed woman; particularly is it use

Advice to Girls
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

DEAR ANNIE LAUh1Es
Is it proper for a girl to give a
boy a small inexpensive gift for his
birthday when he has never given
her one?
ONLY SHOCKS
Only Shocks: Thank you so much
for the nice postscript On your let
ter. I'd like to say a lot more but
the space will not permit. But I do
want you to know that I appreciate
more than 7 can tell you.
I don't think I would give a gift,
my dear. A nice card would be suf-
ficient expression Of your friendli-
ness. Particularly if you wrote a
charming letter of birthday wishes
to accompany it.
Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a girl in my teens and think
an awful lot of a boy five months
younger than myself.
When we are alone he Is very
pleasant. But when a certain girl
friend is around he acts as though
he hardly knows me.
He has asked me to go to the
show with him but never asks my
friend to go.
Do you think he really cares for
me? HELEN.
HELEN: 1t Is very plain that he
the young man does not like your
girl friend, Helen, and the wisest
thing for you to do would be to ar
range to see both these friends at
different times. There is no rea-
son why the young man should in
vite your girl friend to the theatre
with you-and you must not expect
this.
Keep up your friendship with him
but do not make too many damands
on it.
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
am a girl in my early teens and
would be very glad if you would
help me by answering the following
questions:
1. Is it right to invite my boy
friend in after a dance?
2. Is it right to let my boy friend
know how much I am in love with
him?
3. How old should a girl be be-
fore getting married?
4. Is it right for a girl to accept
a wrist watch from he boy friend?
CURIOUS DOLL
CURIOUS DOLL: If it is not too
late, and the family are still up.
you may ask your escort to come in
for a few minutes.
2. If he has protested his love for
you I see no harm in mutual decla-
rations.
8. At least out of her teens. But
his depends a great deal on how
mature she is.
q. No, expensive gifts of any kind,
and jewelry in particular should be
exchanged only after the engage
ment. Books, candy and flowers are
aDprODriate before.
