WASHINGTON FASHIONS

This is a year of revivals.
Along with Victorian furniture,
we have Empire waistlines.
There are puffed sleeves,
guimpes and ginghams. Curls
are most decidedly in, and
picture frocks begin to appear
at garden parties. But the
most practical Of the revivals
are the ginghamS. There's moth.
ing even family suggestive of a
fad about them. They are as
sturdy as they ever were, and
not too country looking to ap-
pear now and then in town.
AS the summer gets on apace,
they will be seen more fre.
quently, for they are coming
out in more attractive versions
every day.
COttons Have "ClaSs"
But ginghams owe most of
their popularity to the fact
that they are cottonS, and all
the cottons are having a tremen-
douS vogue this year. pique is
not only seen on all sides, but
1t has decided fashion prestige.
Organdie is worn by both the
young and the sophisticated.
Cotton shirtings are chic for
active sports, and everyone
knows the enormous success the
batisteS are enjoying, especially
when they're eyelet.embroidered.
So ginghams come along with
the cottons, one Of the latest to
achieve their share of favor,
but they will no doubt catch up
soon.

tractive dress Of gingham. The
colors are fresh and clean look.

ural compliment, and because
it has so much pattern of it's
own, does just as well without
any trimming. Just take a,
checked or plaid gingham and.
put a few bias bands on we'll
cut dress, and there you are
with chic. The checks seem to
be the smart patterns now,
both in small and large YER
sions, but the occasional plaidS
seen have a very new look.
News from New York says that
plaid ginghams are being worn
in the evening with organdie
guimpes, but we haven't seen
any here yet.
Practical Too
We've picked out two typical
frockS for Sketching, one par
ticularly youthful, the other a
style that could be worn by
anybody. Left, is a small check
gingham that comes in such
crisp colors as blue, brown,
green or pink. It has a tiny
vestee of white pique with a bit
of a roll collar that would take
years off the face above it. A
narrow band of pique serves
for cuffs, and q belt Of the
gingham ties about the waist.

The cages were borne on the

Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

Melons of various kinds are
among the few foods that are
still strictly "seasonable." Most
foods can be preserved so that
they retain all their nutritious
and necessary ingredients. But
melons, on account Of their
bulk and on account of the
fact that they are usually
served fresh and do not lend
themselves to cooking, must be
eaten when they are ripe.
So they are marketed and we
can eat them only at certain
times of the year.
It is well, 1 believe, that there
Is one class of food Of that sort,
because in spite of the ingenu-
1ty of Gamers in preserving all
the known vitaminS, I suspect
that we should have some fresh
uncooked food in our dietaries.
There may be some vitamlns
that are yet unknown to sci
ence, and they may be as neces-
Sary to our health as the ones
already discovered. And also
they may be destroyed by cook
ing, or by time, or by drying,
or by canning.
Melons certainly are as good
as anything to fill this need.
Some people seem to be afraid
to eat melons on account OF
their almost heavenly delicious
ness. But there is no ground
for such fears.
There is no food on earth
any more healthful than a
good watermelon.
The finest watermelons are
grown in the wire grass region
of Georgia. They require a
well drained and sandy soil.
On account of the thickness

This spoils the melon except
for immediate consumption. A
much better sign of ripeness
is the state of dryness Of the
stem, which dies when the
melon is fully ripe.
Most of the watermelons con-
sumed in the United States are
of the Watson variety. The
Department of Agriculture has
recently announced that the
Watson watermelon has good
quantities of vitamins A, B, C
