BERLIN, February 21-The death of
a student at Darmstadt as a result OF
a student duel has drawn German at
tention to the fact that while such
meetings are technically under the ban
of the law, they still go on.
The student, named Tomcak, slipped
and fell on. his opponents sword and
bled to death as the result of a deep
chest wound. The opponent and his
second surrendered to the authorities,
who ordered an investigation.
The duel was like the scores that are
fought each week In German univer-
stiles, "beStimmungsmensur, which
means that there was no formal chal-
lenge, but the opponents, fairly evenly
matched, were fighting to see which was
the better man.
The criminal code, adopted after the
revolution. holds dueling an assault with
lethal weapon. but few courts have con-
strued it in this way. There has even
been considerable pressure for a modi-
fication Of the law. The authorities at
Darmstadt are investigating this latest
affair.

LONGER LIFE
FOR SILK HOSE

To find a way to make silk hose
and undergarments wear longer
means money in womens pockets.
A New York fashion expert has
discovered the secret.
She found that washing with
soap and water alone did not re-
move the body eXcretions which
rot silks. So she adds tablespoon
full of Energine to every quart of
lukewarm. soapy water. Then she
washes and rinses the articles-as
usual. The result is a new cleanli-
Mesa pleasing freshness-re-
vived colors-all with practically
no rubbing.
But the most amazing result is
the longer life it gives to silks-an
economy every woman will appre-
ciate.
Try this method the next time
you wash silks. You'll be delighted.
Remember. too, that millions of
women save money by using Ener-
CINE for removal of spots from
suits, hats, dresses. gloves, shoes,
etc. Large can IS cents at any drug

so all the accessories of tai
lored suit costume have been femi-
nized along with the suit. And
that's one reason why you're going
to like the new tailored suits so
much better.
But when we say accessories are
feminine, We don't mean that
they're fluffy-ruffles. That wouldn't
be any more in keeping than the
severe, masculine type.
There's a happy medium COM
bination of soft lines, but neat lines.
And. if properly chosen, such Access
series make the tailored suit one of
the srnartest looking costumes you
can wear.
For instance, the suit we've had
sketched is one Of those easy-to-
wear double breasted types, nipped
slightly at the waist and fitted in
an easy, comfortable way. You'll
see plenty of EN- on Easter.
Now look at the blouse we've
chosen to wear with it. There isn't
anything masculine about it, is
there? Yet it looks right to wear
with a suit.
It's neckline is simple and fol-
lows the lines Of the jacket neck
line. It's belted at the waistline-
not too tightly, but in soft, FEM
mime way.
It's diagonal closing gives it just
a suggestion of tailored effect
just enough TO put it in complete
harmony with the suit.
Now for hat. Their are plenty
Of good types to wear with such a
costume. We've had the new sailor
sketched, because it's a fine ex-
ample of how accessories are becom-
ing feminized.
The old-time sailor, yon know,
was stiff brimmed and right angled,
like mans sailor. This new sailor
isn't stiff at all. It has new curves
in its crown and a slight droop in
its brim.
It's still tailored type hat, but
tailored in feminine way.

We need a business like shoe for
such a costume. One that looks
as though it could walk places. But
walk there with a dainty, feminine
step.
That's the way this one-strap
looks, with its slender built-up
leather heel and it's discreet trim
ming of perforations. An oxford
Of the same type would have the
same effect.
OF course there are hundreds of
other blouses, hats and shoes that
would look equally we'll with this

The main idea is to keep that
happy medium of tailored lines, but
softly tailored ones.
