Brown Leading Color
in Many Fall Fashions

Logically enough, to be sure,
brown has come into commanding
favor for Autumn fashions. Why
shouldn't brown be the son and
heir of yesterdays sun-tan?
Then, too, there are Autumn
leaves to be matched and the de-
lightful eggshen shade of high
popularity to be used. Eggshell's
natural compliment is brown and,
according to fashions experts, Pa
ris couturiers have. seized upon
the two shades for some of their
most charming creations.
An outstanding example of the
combination of brown and eggshell
is three-piece ensemble from
Redfern. The coat and skirt and
of soft wool in dark, rich brown
and the blouse of eggshell crepe
de Chine. The coat has the dash
of circular lines and the fur which
curves so adroitly from collar to
flouLce is shaved lamb. This Sd
coat. flaring into low-placed full
ness ut the side and back is a
new note for daytime. The skirt
| is full and circular with an all
around uneven hem. The coat
sleeves also flare and the shaved
lamb cuffs are topped by tiny
tucks.
Brown and beige are also often
seen combined in Paris, especially
| in tweed, which has become a IA
vorite material for the practical
types of coats now being shown.
With the favorite tweed coats
are variety of hats, in which
brown again plays an important
part. The color note is carried out
in tweed cloches matching the
coat or in brown felt or soleil
Buff, also a kindred color of the
brown, finds it's way into many Of
the Autumn hats.

Recent discoveries in nutrition
show that the old theory about the
harmfulness of bananas was a
faliacy. Bananas are healthy for

Another food fallacy that has
been exploded is the one concern

nutritious. The rumor that pie was
not to be tolerated came from its
use as a dessert after heavy

simply to have committees in each

1t is only natural that the talk at

squabbles in the Senate about the
seating of Senator Grundy and the ex-
clusion of Ware. At these meetings
discussion shows quite clearly that
Senators privately regard the Senate

fear his deadly frankness. Unlike
most of his colleagues, Grundy is sure
of an audience when he speaks or
votes.
Now that the House has been eff
fectively organized, the leaders are
planning to dump essential measures
on the Senate's doorstep at the earliest
possible date. Already House ap-
preparations bills are being handled
expeditiously, tax reduction approved
and hearings authorized on many i'm
portant bills. Meanwhile the Senate
is having difficulty keeping the ma
chinery in motion. Senators plead
the excuse that the duties require
their presence on the floor so that
there is little time for committee
work. Unfortunately, the roll calls
and gallery observations bring doubt
as to how much time Is actually spent
in the Senate chamber.
Outside of Washington the proposals
of certain legislators to prevent abuse
of Congressional immunity draws
little interest. Few citizens realize
the extent to which Members go in
making charges, giving currency to
idle rumor and character assassina-
ton. The proposal of Representative
Fort is to prevent Legislators from
slandering innocent persons who have
no legal redress for unpardon able
wrongs. 1t is now proposed to hold
Legislators accountable to the Senate
or House for outrageous utterances. It
has been found that Senators and
Representatives often take the un-
supported rumors retailed by busy

try, and are expected to embody their
impressions in a report which will be
presented to the StOrting as the foun-
dation for a request for larger APP

when the snow is on the ground and
the frost is on the window pane and
you SILVER and shake with the cold.
Then come tantalizing Odors from the
kitchen-promising a breakfast that
will chase the shivers away.
The cold weather breakfast menu
may have more energy foods. for the
season demands them. Then, of
course, there must be fruit, whole

wintry mornings is:

Waffles with Syrup

Hot Milk or
Hot Cocoa made with Milk
Grape Fruit.
A variation from the usual grape
fruit flavor is secured by pouring a
few spoonsful of the cold grape fruit
juice where the center has been re-
moved. If this is done ten or fifteen
minutes before serving, the juice has
a chance to penetrate the grape fruit
thoroughly.
