Intermittent Diet
Helps Most Women

In some of the new diet systems for
weight reduction the rule is made that
certain restrictions be made In the
meals for two or three weeks with a
resumption of normal diet In the third
or fourth week, followed by another two
or three weeks of diet-and so on until
the desired weight is lost
Sometimes there are six days of stric;
diet with a seventh day when no re.
StrictionS are made whatever. Some.
times definite bill of fare is set down
for the week with occasional modifica.
tions-just as if the loss of weight de-
pended on following the rule exactly.
But interestingly enough rather re-
markable results have been gained from
these intermittent, closely defined diets
The fact is that it is not so dificult
to get along on light rations II you may
look forward to eating anything you
please after six days. And having
eaten lightly for six days the chances
are that you have got out of the way
OF hearty eating and won't eat exces-
sively on the last day anyway.
One way to lose weight and q very
sensible way-'where it works. to eat
less Of everything, but it is very difficult
for some women to do just that, and
the fact that they have gained 700
much weight is pretty good proof of
the fact that it is not easy for them to
eat sparingly of everything.
Another way to reduce is to 90 very
light for two meals-eating anything
within reason at the third meal Thus
coffee and dry toast for breakfast, q
fruit or vegetable salad for luncheon
without bread or crackers-and lust
about anything for dinner.

Our Salads.

Among Europeans usually there Is
only one way of serving salad leaves
and that Is with French dressing. Most
Americans prefer to encounter lettuce
leaves under some connection consisting
of bananas rolled in nuts, Shattered
with meyonnaise, or beneath tasty bit
Of chicken mayonnaise, or something OF
that sort.
Fish niayonnaise is favorite dish with
the European cooks and it offers a
splendid way for using up leftover fish.
However, the European cook serves his
rich mixture on shells, whereas we
would serve 1t In bed of lettuce leaves.
very good fish mayonnaise can be
made from cold cooked fish or from
canned salmon or other such fish. But
the fish mayonnaise made famous by
some OF the renowned French cooks is n
more complicated matter. The salmon
or sturgeon must be cooked specially.
In the kettle in which 1t is cooked
there must be q few carrots, q little
celery and a leek. Moreover, there
must be beets, potatoes, cucumber
gherkfas. capers. olives, beans, mush-
rooms, bits of caulihower, crayfish and
lemon by way of garnishinR.

Furniture Shows Curves

n1sh a home or a room in comfort
style and distinction within a limited
price there is nothing to equal the pro-
Vlncial and peasant pieces. The Sum
mer furniture style shows indicated that
wherc formerly these designs had been
accepted widely they are now almost
universally in demand.
Another furnishings style trend clear.
~ indicated at the Summer furniture
shows was the grouping of furniture in
related though not identical groups, The
ensemble idea in furnishings has taken
hold as firmly as 1t has in costumes.
And the combinations of color worked
out In the furniture as interesting
as those used in assembling a wardrobe.
The death knell of the three-piece liv-
ing room suite has been sounded.
However, mahogany and walnut will
always be popular. Their beauty and
dignity make them dear to all. Oak,
which had the misfortune to fall into
dlsrepute some years ago, is coming
stronger than ever into its own. Fur
niture manufacturers seem to be learn
ing all over again what can be done
with the wood, and it might be q good
thing for the home manager to refresh
her mind as to its possibilities.
Metal furniture, the recent markets
show, is finding its place in the home.
1t is creeping in-as many innovations
in furnishings have to do--through the
porch, the sun room, the kitchen and
the nursery. 1t has its advantages for
the tired and hurried home manager
who is also managing half dozen other
things in that 1t is exceedingly easy to
take care of.

Bachelors and Old
Maids Once Fined

Every once in a while somebody
| tries to rouse public opinion against
| the bachelors - bachelors who remain
bachelors apparently out of choice
They suggest imposing heavy fines on
bachelors or denying them certain priv
1leges that married men possess. But
nothing comes of 1t. The bachelors as
@ whole have an easy time of it--prob-
| ably better than they deserve.
This was not always the case. Back
in the days when Greece led the world
in culture Scion, the law giver of
Athens, made marriage compulsory.
For a while the law was enforced,
though later 1t fell into disuse.
In ancient Peru, as it was before the
coming Of the Spaniards, 1t was pro-
vided by law that every one must be
married On coming to certain age.
To make it easier for the young hus-
band the community in which he lived
furnished him with a dwelling, which,
as it was constructed of humble ma
terialS, cost little. He was also al
lowed land sufficient for the mainte-
nance of himself and wife, and more
was added with the birth of every
child. If governments today did like
wise perhaps we should have fewer
bachelors and old maids.
Even in our own country not so very
long ago the law frowned upon bach
elors. In Hartford. Conn, in Colonial
times, "the selfish luxury of solitary
living" was taxed 20 shillings q week.
About hundred and fifty years ago
bachelors in Pennsylvania had to pay
double taxes.
In most of the colonies unmarried
men and women were not allowed to
live by themselves but had to live in
the family of some relative or some
family approved by the authorities. It
was the duty of the head Of this family
to duly. observe the course, carriage
and behavior OF every such person,
whether he or she be keeping good
order day and night or otherwise"

Company Manners
May Be Charming

Some women are desperately afraid
that they will be suspected of having
company manners" Such a woman,
when she invites you to dine or lunch
with her, assures you that she will make
no special preparation in your honor.
II you casually renark-as you may
quite naturally do If you are an old
friend-that she is wearing charming
gown, she manages to convince you that
the dress Is not at all new or that it is
ready for the rag bag. She seems fear
full lest you still think that she has
dressed especially for your honor. If
she has two sets of china-one that she
uses for every day" and one for spe-
ctal occasions-she would figuratively
die Of modification" if one of her chill
dren let the cat out of the bag that she
was using her best Dishes" or In fact,
That she did not always use her best
tableware.
These women are, in part, right in
obJecting to showing their company
manners" as they are called, for COM
pany manners can be very offensive and
disquieting.
II a guest feels that his hostess who
usually speaks to her children in curt
monosyllables affects a saccharine man
ner toward them just because he Is
tnere, ne Is made uncomfortable and
1890 sNaNAouo, eliminated manner
at dinner fails to bring cheer If he
feels that his usual manner Is one of
grumpiness. No one can possibly ac-
quire good table etiquette only as part
OF his company manners"
Company manners that are, with all
frankness and sincerity, assumed for the
guests honor come from the heart and
are not to be scorned. The father of
the prodigal son didn't try to make his
guests feel that ne fed upon fatted calf
every day of the year. So, although. we
would hardly tell our friends that we
have ordered special delicacies and got
out the choice damaSk and thin china
Tor their honor when they dine with us,
we would show ourselves verv silIv II we
tried to make q family secret of these
little acts of consideration that we uer-
form for the honor of our guests.

and Style.

WHILE there is not exactly what
could be termed return to the
simple life, there is certainly marked
tendency to return-or get to, if you've
never been there before-the simple
provincial or peasant type of furniture
and furnishings for the home. Every
one went sophisticated with such a
vengeance few years ago that the
charm of the quaint, provincial styles
in interior decoration was bound to be
felt by all. Just as women threw away
ridiculously short frocks and went in
for the strictly fe mime in fashions,
women are discai ing funny-looking
furniture and getting back to something
like comfort
Curves are coming into their own in
furniture as well as in hats and frocks.

Moles Are Real
Mark of Beaut,

a few dark moles more or less are
nothing to worry about. Far from be .
ing real blemish they may be con
sidered a mark of beauty. For centurie
these blemishes have been looked upo
as at least rather interesting.
Wyatt. the poet and artist of tn
court Of Henry VIII-that blue-bear
King OF Englahd-says of Anne Bolyr
fairest OF Henry's six wiyes-"Likewis
there were said to be upon certain
parts OF her body small moles, inciden
to the clearest complexions."
st. Teresa, who was q beauty O.
well as saint, had three moles on he
face that were spoken of with actue /
admiration by her contemporaries. Ger
tain 1t is, that among beautiful Frenc'7
and italian women a few dark mole
have never been considered any res

Mirror Analysis
Tests Good Looks

When little girls first look at them
selves in the mirror 1t is usually simply
TO admire. What nice little girl that
Is looking at me-" they seem to say as
they look at themselves. How pleas
antly she smiles at me! I should like
to play with little girl like that. Yet
that little girl is myself. What a very
nice little girl ami"
There are some women who never
seem to have got over this childish way
OF using a mirror. After all, I am
quite good looking. I'm sure 1 don't
show my age so much as most women.
OF course, don't pretend to be a vamp
put there is something rather intriguing
ABOUT my expression" have seen
women look in the mirror with an ex-
preston that showed that was the sort
OF thing they were thinking.
But 1t Is a great waste of time TO
look at your own image in the looking
glass merely to admire, or, for that
matter, to admire at all. Self-admira-
ton is not an attractive quality in any
one. and even the beautiful woman who
spends much time in doing it soon as
sumes look OF dissatisfaction that is
far from attractive.
II you would really make the best use
or the time spent mirror gazing. do II
with cold criticism and analysis. Study
your face and figure from various an
giles. Know the worst as well as the
best. Arrange your dressing room or
bath room mirror so that a mercilessly
clear light shines upon you as Won make
your toilet.
Even If you do not use rouge and
lipstick or other similar cosmetics. YOU
must not neglect making up. STUDY
your face In the mirror to see whether
1t Is absolutely clean. 1t may not. be.
you know, even after you have washed
1t in the usual way. There are some
skins that resist the action of ordinary
washing. If there is still any sugRes-
ton OF darkness-not due to actual
skin ACKNOWLEDGMENT the face very
thoroughly with a lather made from
liquid soap OF the sort nurses and sur
geons Use before operations, or take
time to cleanse the face Thoroughly

series. More interested, I think.
Il In the small details of dress
Cnan their mothers ever were.
IL Is not so much that they are inter-
ested in the small things-gioves, neck
laces, handbags, collars and cuffs, belts,
etc.-lor their own sake. They are ire
menoously interested in the art of
wearing them. They give serious
thought to the subject of how these
things should be worn and how they
ShoulG rot be worn, and any young
woman of boarding school or college
age OF my acquaintance really feels
and justly, think-that she wears her
accessories more successfully than the
, older women.
" A GENERATION ago." one young
woman explained, women must
have been very prim and precise about
the way they wore their clothes. They
must have had to spend a lot of time
adjusting their wells and their collars
and belts. because clothes were so much
less comfortable than they are TODAY.
Ill take my hat of to the girls of the
Gibson girl age.
But don't believe they ever worked
out the ensemble idea as carefully as
we 90. I'm sure. they didn't take so
much paips in choosing and wearing
accessories as girls do today. Girls
nowadays seldom buy their small things
just at random. They figure out pre-
cisely what they want to go with GER
tain costumes to get precisely the ef-
feet they desire.
They have certain accessories they
will wear with this dress or suit, and
others that they would wear only with
something else. Why, even the girls I
know who have no special reputation
for caring for dress have definite ideas
about the gloves, jewelry and hand
bags that will look right with certain
dresses"
This does not mean that no older
women take this keen interest in ae-
cessories. It does mean that a careful
choice of accessories is characteristic
of the present styles in dress and that
it is the older women only Of Youthful
minds and taste who discriminate be-
tween the appropriate and the non
appropriate accessory.
4 \
THE youthful attitude toward Access
n SORES demands more of them and
n more frequent change, because now
adays styles in handbags, tewelry, etc.
change quite as often as do styles in
dresses, hats and coats.
Gloves occupy an important position
In accessories for Autumn, and the new
dress or suit or coat certainly deserves
q pair of gloves chosen expressly for
it. Interestingly enough, light gloves
are the smart choice for all daytime
occasions, while black or other dark
gloves are favored for evening. Paris
has signified her approval Of black with
white for late Summer and early Au-
tumn street wear, and the white suede
glove Is worn with the black street dress
or suit. ga
Lately we have heard a good deal
about the return OF brown gloves which
viii not, however, be chosen for day
time. but for evening IT is the long,
brown suede glove that has come for
|. ward as one Of the srnartest OF Au-
tta,nn fashions, to be worn with white
or Hght-toned evening dresses.
