BustIe GolU7s Worn
By Women at Smart
Paris Restaurants

PARIS.
THE restaurants and cafes at the
Colonial Exposition have become
so popular this August that they have
quite eclipsed the Bots restaurants
On a recent evening the Indo-Chine
restaurant was crowded, inside and out,
and the first of the new Fall frocks
were seen in public Apparently the
women have taken the hustle back to
their hearts, for no fewer than half O
dozen were noted here One gown, in
palest gray tulle, had the drawback
front Of the skirt caught up into a
true hustle at the back. The drop
shoulder decolletage. in a deep U shape.
was headed with a tiny shirring of
light green two inches wide. The same
tone was glimpsed in the hounces cas-
cading from the hustle. while tiny
bands Of green velvet were worn on
each wrist.
Jade green ROMAN made q medieval
robe with a long, narrow. square decol-
letage in front. Tiny tucks held the
dress to the figure at the waist and
there was ample fullness at the hem.
A twisted belt of deep blue velvet and
green ROMAN was knotted in front to
hang to the edge of the dress. There
was the tiniest tight bolero. also in the
blue velvet. and the court shoes were
made of the same fabric.
Short evening wraps seem still in the
majority, although they are beginning
to be worn with soft fur Innings, like
one of soft pink faille which showed
the lapin lining turned over for a
Re
conventional ribbon flowers in blue and
pink. reminiscent OF those seen In
Worth's collection. This was worn over
the only black evening dress in the
room, a MORE with faconne pattern,
trimmed with double ruchings.
The wind-blown bob created by An
tome is causing all sorts of difficulties
for most of its wearerS when 1t comes
to evening dress. One pleasant relief
is the little wig of exactly the same
shade as its wearer's hair. These are
done in various fashions, with little
knots at the back or with coronet
braids, but the most effective one
noted is short. with mass of tiny
curls all over its wearer's head. and is
most feminine and thoroughly in keep
ing with the spirit of the times.
Heavier eye makeup is noticeable
wherever one goes. With the tiny hats
mascara for daytime wear must be
more discriminatory applied than for
several seasons, but to make up for
that, eye shadow is in high favor. Blue
is the favorite shade with all the green
and blue costumes, while a mixture of
blue and brown seems the preferred
combination to wear with clothes In
the brown and red shades. In certain
cases, of course, the shade of the eye
must be the guide in the choice of
color. but the proper accompaniment
for the new clothes seems to be the
large, limpid eye. and makeup is the
accepted method to acquire this.

New Form of
Trimming.

Pinking Is one Of the old-time fash
ions that have been revived this sea-
son. There are narrow ruffies made Of
taffeta silk with pinked edges on some
of the new evening dresses and one
even sees petticoats with small rufies
of the pinked-edge sort.
The old way of doing pinking was
with a pinking iron. You folded the
material over and then laid 1t on .
block of wool and took your pinking
iron and laid it where you wanted the
pinked scallop and then-bang with
the hammer and the sharp edge Of the
pinking iron did the rest. And so by
repeated placings of the iron and bangs
from the hammer the edge Of the ma
terial was pinked.
Edges of seams were also pinked, and
this sort of pinking has also been re-
vived. Many of the best French dresses
are finished in this way. To be sure,
the seams don't show, but their pinked
edges give a sense Of satisfaction to
the wearer.
The up-to-date way to do this sort
of pinking is with pinking shears
which you can buy at any store where
dressmakers' supplies are sold.

Mixed Diet Upheld
AS Aid to Health
BY SALLY MONROE.

sGXXTHY are vegetables safer than
w meat?" a young woman asked
the other day. She has three children
and tries her best to give them the
right sort Of diet.
She asked the question of her doc
tor The gist Of his explanation was
this:
Modern man seems to be suited to a
mixed diet. Unless there is some per-
sonal reason why meat is undesirable,
this doctor, and many other doctors
and dieticians think meat Is a per-
fectly good part of the human diet.
There are, of course, specific diseases
and conditions, in which meat is SO
much poison. But meat has high pro-
TEN value, and especially for children
it seems to be an easy and desirable
form Of protein.
Almost all foods, when they are di-
Rested, produce certain toXlnS-polSorS.
These must be carried off by the sys-
tenn If we are to remain we'll. Meat
produces more toxins than vegetables.
Vegetables, when they are burned in
the body, usually produce an alkaline
residue, which Is harmless. So, If the
system Is not to be overburdened, 1t Is
better not to load 1t down with too
much meat.
The meatless diet must have some
other form of protein. and there is can
ger IN giving meatleSS oleC 10 Eeal-
thy, well, active people that there will
not be enough protein. Plenty Of milk
provides this want; SO do cheese and
eggs and fish and nuts and dried peas
and beans. So if the diet is planned
with little or no meat, some OF these
other proteins should be provided.
Meat once day is usually quite
permissible. That means that there.
is plenty of chance to serve fruits and
vegetables abundantly. This Is not only
the best thing, so far as the immediate
health of children is concerned but it
also builds up in them a taste for
fruits and vegetables. Once a child
likes fruits and vegetables, he will never

Short Fur Jacket.

What sort Of gloves shall I wear with
my new Autumn clothes2 That is,
shall I wear light gloves with dark
suits and coat, or shall wear dark
gloves. Shall I buy gloves with wide
flaring cuffs and shall these be worn
over the cuff Of the suit or coat" This
is letter from a puzzled reader.
Light gloves will undoubtedly remain
in favor, but with the coming of cooler
weather, dark gloves are frequently
worn, and dark brown gloves will I'M
doubtedly be appropriate to wear with
the dark brown dress. With a jacket
suit usually light gloves are more at
tractive.
If the cuff of your coat or jacket Is
narrow and small, then you should wear
haring glove drawn over the cuff.
If the cuff is large, then wear a short
glove tucked under the cuff.
With the new fur or cloth coats you
may wear longer glove drawn up over
the sleeves of the dress under the coat.

New Topheavy Goats Becoming
Generous Collar, Wide Sleeve and Cinched.in
Waistlne With Much Fur Give Them
Charm and Beauty.

with the greatest width usually midway
between elbow and wrist. Usually
sleeves are fur trimmed. but the fur
seldom extends down to the cuff.
All these facts one must bear in mind
in buying new coat and one should
have a distinct impression Of the new
coat silhouette.
1t is a decidedly slender silhouette
with q distinctly slim waistline and
slender hips. There is the riRht-side
tapping Of the wide fur collar to CORE
spond with the dipping down Of the
hat at the right side and the under
tapping of the left side to correspond
with the upward fitting Of the hat at
the left side.
Practically all the new coat materials
are spoken Of as spongy. There are
spongy tweeds for more practical coats
and spongy woolens for street and after
noon wear. The tweeds may show o
blending Of two or more tones but It
Is usually in q close, fine mixture.
All-fur coats will undoubtedly be as
much In favor as ever. but even II you
are a fur-coat enthusiast you will have
to have one cloth and fur coat in your
cold-weather wardrobe. And If you are
not going to have a fur coat. then you
may decide in favor of fur lining for
your cloth coat. 1t will add enormous
ly to its warmth and cosiness and sur
prisingly little to its bulk.

Condensed milk ana evaporated milk

Condensed milk and evaporated milk
and milk powder may all be used quite
safely. Their food value is not harmed
by their change from their original
state. The diet, when these forms Of
milk are used, should contain plenty
of raw fruits and vegetables-but that's
another chorus Of the dieticians that
most of US have needed. Eat lots Of
raw fruit and vegetables.
There Is much to be said for the gen.
erously mixed diet, as the puzzled young
mother found out. Most doctors and
dieticians recommend 1t as the safest
and pleasantest thing for people in
normal health.

His liking is g food habit worth money
to him, so far as health goes.
Milk is increasingly recognized as a
very important food. A quart da/
for each child. pint day for each
adult-that is a regular chorus of the
dieticians.
Most of us like milk. We may not
like to drink it Just as it is, but we like
it in cream soups and cocoa. rljlkShskes
and rice pudding. 1t is easy to get rid
of our pint day. And children. If
they have good milk, ought to drink
at least pint of their daily allow

Luxurious Brocaded
Fabrics Emphasized
By Louiseboulanger

THE collection of new Fall clothes
shown by Louiseboulanger offers
several rev ideas in the construction
of costumes which are worth consider
ing.
Studio gowns created here, as the
masterpieces of the house, always offer
some special feature Although mostly
of flame one exception was palama
costume with trousers of black point
d'esprit, which were wrapped around
each leg. The hip-length top was OF
gold and white brocade.
Another interesting design was seen
in a negligee of green and gold brocade,
featuring a train. The special interest
in the cutting was loose back panel,
which came from the waist, up over the
shoulders, and was tied in front like
Q cape.
The wrap-aroupd motif, mentioned
above, runs through the collection IN
street and sports dresses, afternoon
clothes and those for formal occasions.
In daytime clothes the wrap-around
is buttoned on the left hip slightly
toward the back.
Both dresses and coats are OF the
sheereSt of woods, the dress materials,
in contrast to the coat. being used for
and open of weave that the lining shows
through the coat.
One Winter coat. and there were few
models as Wintry in appearance as this,
was of wool, with high standing collar
and 12-inch f1aring hip band OF skunk.
This same effect was seen on lame
evening coat the fur continuing from
0 shawl collar around the hips.
The most original note in the collec-
ton was the Turkish effect in evening
dresses of metal gauze. The blouse
section ended with a short waistline
to disclose contrasting band of lame
snugly fitted to the uncorseted figure
and disappearing under the skirt in
truly Oriental style. The skirt. which
started at the hipline. was Of the same
material as the bodice. Skirts of this
type, in most cases, were headed by
a wreath of artificial flowers which
circled the figure.
Another movement was seen in
dresses of heavy broche faille. trimmed
with groups of folded pieces of the ma
terial which stood out from the figure.
Like Louiseboulanger' removable skirts
of a year or two ago, these were fas-
tened on a separate waistband.
A new fashion of handling light SILK
was used for scarfs, cuffs and collars.
There were in shaded effects and were
pleated as though with waffle iron.
