The Hollywood diet, which
had such a vogue among re-
ducers a few years ago, was
analyzed in this column yester-
day.
On the average, the Holly
wood dieter gets 1850 calories
a day and about 40 grams Of
protein. This is half an ordi-
nary persons nutritional needs,
and decidedly under the total
daily protein requirements. But
since the diet continues only
for 18 days, no harm is likely
to be done by this. The diet
should reduce a person rapidly
and is a good enough example
of a rapid reduction cure.
One prominent advantage
that it has is psychological. 1t
tells the reducer exactly what
to eat every meal and since he
knows it is going to last just
18 days, the regimen probably
will be followed out. It is
easier to do a definite stint like
that than to go on a vague re-
ducing diet for an indefinite
time.
The length of time the Holly
wood diet lasts is in accord
with the most modern views Of
reduction systems. Many peo-
pie tell me that they have been
on a diet q week and at the
end of that time actually weigh
the same as when they began.
That observation is true, and
has been found to be due to
water retention in the body
during the first few days of a
reduction diet. You do not be-
gin to see the good effects of a
diet until after two weeks. So
for that reason the length of
time the Hollywood diet lasts
is just right.
Aside from its monotony-
one needs only to point to Al
half grapefruitS in 81 meals to
prove the SaneneSs Of the Holly
wood diet-its worst fault is
that it does not record the
amounts of its servings. "a few
calories of salad dressing"
might mean so calories or 200
salad dressings are all rich.
"A large T-bone steak" might
be $50 or 800 calorieS.
And the amount of food you
eat is the most important part
of a reducing diet. Not what,
but how much, you eat. The

Drama Of a Girls Undyins
Love and Devotion

"a boy!" Nita Mailman cried,
bending over the bed in which
Lily Lou and the little swaddled
red thing lay. "And what
have you named it?"
Lily Lou shook her head.
She couldn't talk. She didn't
want to ever try to talk again.
Not even to tell Madame Nahl-
man to please not shake the
bed. Every time anyone touched
the bed a pain shot up from
her temples and out through
the top Of her head. But it
was easier to bear it than to
try to talk.
The nursing sister made
clucking noises as she rocked
the babe she had taken from
Lily Louis unreSisting arms.

prima donna crooned, leaning

SHOPPING-- --Wfth Alice and Evelyn
For acket Suits

Suits, suits and more suits!
Everywhere we look and every
where we go they're as numer-
Gus as buds on the trees. And
we feel as If we could never
say enough about them. We
started off the spring with for
NAL fur-trimmed suits, then q
little later on we told you about
suits with tailored lines. And
now we're taking up little jacket
suitS-without fur.
Jackets An Year Round
And they're probably the
most important because they're
less expensive and more people
can afford them. And jackets,
as you know, are on the top
rung of the fashion ladder this
spring! Besides you can wear
these non-furred suits right
along-all the year round, in
fact. For they're made Of such
nice lightweight woods that they
slip under a coat with perfect
ease and don't look the least
bit bulky. And, of course,
without a coat, they make as
trim and smart a costume as
anyone could own.
The stores are full of the
grandest assortment of these
suitS-manniSh tailored and
dreSsy dreSSmaker ones, and
types in between. And lots Of
women are buying one of each
kind. And why not? They're
as different looking from each
other as a tailored and a for
NAL dress. We're showing you
three models-one of each
type we mentioned. And any
one of them's a real buy for
less than $50.
BelI-HOp Style
The suit Illustrated on the
left is very tailored with it's
Short-fitted jacket-a la bell
hop. Who'd ever think a
notched rever collar could be
individual? But this one GER
tainly is, with two notcheS in
stead of one. Don't you love
the way the jacket closes with
large metal hook-like clips?
And more clips fasten straps
on the skirt, making the built
up part closely hug the ribs.
PleaSS in the center front and
back, bordered at each side by
rows of inverted tucks, COM
plete an effect that's utterly
different, yet charmingly
simple.
A long-sleeved blouse comes
with the suit and you can see
what it's like by the small
sketch at the extreme left.
There's a long scarf, caught by
a loop down in front, that ties
up around the neck. A bright
crepe printed in stripes is the
fabric. It's very gay in red
and white, with the suit in
gray. The material of the suit
is regular mems Suiting flannel
and you can also get it in
navy blue.

while the cape softens the lines
and formalizes it. And so does
the plaid blouse underneath,
for it's made of sheer crepe and
has a scarf draped across the
front. You'll get an idea Of
what the blouse is like, from the
seated figure over on the right.
You can see, too, that the skirt
rises in two points above the
normal waiStline.
But you can make the suit
entirely tailored if you want.
Just wear a manniSh blouse, re-
move the detachable cape.
PrestoI there it is! It's made
of a crepey wool and we love it

one can be bought for under $50.

For Jacket Suits

prise-there's not a single but
ton. Just a smart narrow belt
is all that helps the tie to hold
the jacket shut. The graceful
bell shaped sleeves are set way
into the neckline. And they're
seven-eighth length, like so
many sleeves are won't to be
this spring. Nice for gloves.
The skirt underneath has a
deep V-Shaped yoke to build it
up. And you can take it off
if you're not the "built-up type"
It's easily detachable and the
skirts completely finished un-
derneath. This suits made of
a diagonal light weight wool
and you're sure to like it in
Kelly green, Spanish blue or

that's not tailored and not

Futile Strategy

5-Spades, but he did show the
ace of the SUIT named; for all
he knew A might have made
a desperation bid. A passed.
Y showed his Ace of clubs
by bidding 6-Clubs. That was
harmless. Y would have had
to bid Diamonds otherwise.
His club bid might possibly be
the one thing required for his
partner to see a grand slam.
z had nothing more to show.
His bid of 6-DiamondS was dou.
bled by A, ending contracting.
A knew that he would be
wasting an opportunity if he
made an opening lead of his
hearts, as Y had plainly shown
voidneSS of that suit. A felt
that his best chance to beat
the contract was to lead his K
of spades, hoping that both op-
ponents held two losers of that
suit, or perhaps one losing
spade and one losing club. 1t
is not always the best opening
lead against a slam to lay down
an ace. AS can readily be seen,
Y was able to ruff two losing
spades and z could ruff three
losing clubs for the dummy,
causing them to lose only one
spade trick, and fulfill their
doubled small slam contract,
but A did his best, both in
bidding and play to prevent a
slam score.

z made an opening bid of
diamond upon a hand OF
one probable trick above aver
age. A held a hand easily
worth as dealer an opening de-
mand bid. It was the rubber
game, so that neither side could
afford to take anything beyond
business chances. A knew that
he faced skilled feature showers
for adverSaries and he had in
mind two objects: First, he
wanted to shut out feature
showing; next he wanted to
make such a display of strength
on his initial declaration as to
obtain support upon very little
in case his partner held any
semblance of strength. He
knew that an attempt to pre-
empt, after an adverse declara-
tion has been made, is nearly
always useless; if third hand
would assist over a low bid he
also will assist over any attempt
to shut him out. A held no
false visions about making a
slam after the other side had
made an opening bid; such an
event is of too rare occurrence
to consider seriously as prob
able. To accomp1'~h his aims, if
at all possible, A jumped into
a bid of 4 Hearts.
Y held visions Of an almost
certain game. with slam prob
abilities. He did not bid 5-Dia-
monds, thus terminating con-
tracing. Nor did he make a
blind stab at something better,
by bidding 6-Diamonds. He
made the very useful bid Of
5-Hearts, to show no losers Of
that suit, with very powerful
support for his partners open
ing make. OF course he knew
that his partner or he must
ultimately either bid 6-Dia-
mondS or double A in case he
ventured a slam declaration.
B passed. z did not increase
the contract when he replied
