By IRENE BENTLEY

Fall has brought into mode
a fashion that is both flatter-
ing and practical and in which
I personally delight. It is the
long, formal evening coat-lend-
ing height and grace to the
small WON an, accentuating
height and grace in the tall.
For my personal wardrobe, I
selected the wrap pictured here,
which is fashioned of black and
white velvet, trimmed with
luxurious white fox. The
sleeves are three-quarter length,
featuring a great fullness; the
collar is very deep and circu-
lar, giving a detachable white
wrap effect.
And because fashion DEGREES
at least one velvet evening dress
in the wardrobe-and because
every woman wants at least
one velvet evening dress-I have
chosen one in a deep sapphire
blue, high in front, cut very
low in back. The wrap?-an
Arab burnoose in the same
shade of blue velvet. Flowing
picturesquely, they imbue one
with a high spirit of romance
and adventure.

Gaining

Question: "I'm a bit under
weight at present and, although
it's not much, I'd like to catch
up to my normal pOundage. I
eat a great deal, but never seem
to gain. Mother says that one
reason is because I eat so very
quickly. Does the speed at
which you eat really have any
thing to do with your weight?"
Nj. F.
Answer: The speed at which
you eat does indeed have some
connection with your weight.
You should always chew your
food slowly and thoroughly.
Such leisurely and complete
mastication might almost be
said to take the place of addi-
tional food. For thorough
chewing makes you enjoy your
food more and satisfies your ap-
petite more completely. It in
creases the flow of saliva and
the digestive juices in the stom-
ach and makes your meals pro-
vide more nouriShment, because
of their complete digestion.

Large Mouth

Question: I've q very long
mouth, and it detracts quite a
bit from my appearance. 1 can't
afford to have it corrected surg
ically, but I'd appreciate it very
much If you'd tell me if there's
anything / can do to at least
m AXE my mouth APPEAR
smaller.
"ThankS. F. A.
Answer: If your mouth is un-
attractively long, you should
emphasize the center of it with
your lipStick. Exaggerate the
Cupid's bow a little on your up
per lip, and don't let the color
run out to the very ends Of your
mouth. Your mouth corners
should be devoid of color en-
tirely. Do not apply your lip
stick heavily, either, for if you
do, it will tend to make your
mouth too prominent. Empha-
size your eyes or some other
lfeature, in order to attract at
Itention away from your mouth,
If you think your mouth con-
tours detract from your appear
Iance.

Manners

BEECKMAN
Wedding Breakfast

"SNAAAA6 SANeIkAASSSV
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am to be married soon and
the wedding is to take place at
6 o'clock in the morning. I
have never had the opportunity
of attending an early morning
wedding breakfast, so I don't
know what is served. Will you
please help me with a few sug-
gestions?
I am not going to carry a
bouquet and have been wonder
ing if a shoulder corsage would
be all right. The same for my
bridesmaids? M.
For the wedding breakfast
after such an early morning
wedding, the breakfast should
be really a breakfast, and not
of the variety that we associate
with a wedding breakfast" at
a later hour, which is more in
the nature of a luncheon.
That is, for the first course,
you might have melon "a half,
or melon balls), or a half OF
grapefruit or orange, or grape
fruit or orange juice, or tomato
Juice. Then for the main
course, a creamed dish might
interest you: creamed chicken,
or creamed chicken and mush-
rooms, or creamed sweetbreads,
alone or in combination with
chicken or mushrooms. Or
broiled chicken, if you prefer,
or patties, chicken oyster, crab,
mushrooms, or chicken and
mushrooms. Hot rolls or bis
cl,its, toast or toasted brooches.
And with this course, hot coffee.
A shoulder corsage, both for
YOU and for your bridesmaids
would be appropriate.
Left-Handed Fork
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When eating meat and the
British form of carrying the
meat to the mouth with the
left hand is used, should the
prongs of the fork be held down
ward? 1 saw this in a recent
picture. M
Yes, when the meat is con
veyed to the mouth with the
fork in the left hand, the prongs
of the fork are held downward.
Man Waits
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Who bows and speaks 1lrSt'
the man or the woman?
MAN READER.
The woman. The man waits
for her to make this acknowl"
edgment of acquaintanceshlp'
lust as he waits for her to ex-
tend her hand for a handshaKe.

Questions: Dear Miss Du-
mont: Will you please answer
. few questions which I have
been trying to solve for a long
time?
Why is it when l put lipstick
on my lips that it cakes so? Is
is that my lips are dry, or is
It that they are chapped? I
don't think they are Chapped
as I have put camphOr ice on
them and other things that are
good. The girls at school use
ipstick and it doesn't cake on
their lips and / don't see why
/ should be bothered with this
trouble.
What kind and what shade of
ipStick should 1 use? / have
very dark brown hair, fair skin,
and blue eyes. Thanking you
in advance for your help. 1 love
your fine column. L. A. S.
Answer: My dear L. A. S.:
In the first place, if you are still
o school girl, you should use lip
stick very Sparingly. And if you
are under 18 years Of age you
shouldn't be using it at all.
The camphor ice you mention
using will help chapped condi-
ton, but a dry conditions (Which
I imagine is causing the Ipstick
to cake on your lips) will be
corrected by using lip pomade.
You an get pomade anywhere,
in a white or a delicately col
ored rose and it's greasy con-
Sistency will correct the dry
condition of your lips. You
should use lipstick in a light,
bright shade Of red.
Sincerely yours,
LISA DUMoNT.
POmade
Question: Dear Miss Du-
mont: I am a girl in my early
"teenS" and would like to wear
ipStick. This is my problem: 1
don't want to use the usual
HpStick because l have been
advised that it makes the color
disappear from the lips, and 1
don't want that to happen. Is
there anything that you could
advise? If so will you please
let me know what kind to get
and where 1 can get it.
1 would also like to know
what shade to use. This is my
COloring: Medium brown hair,
"green hazeP' eyes, and fair
skin. Thank you for your ad-
vice. / have never written to
you before but / have been
watching your column daily and
have found it very helpful.
Thanking you again, I remain
B. K.
Answer: MY dear B. K: You
should have saved your two
cents postage in writing to me.
# you are in your early "teens"
you most certainly should not
use any kind of lipstick.
I do not approve of any girl
under 18 years of age going in
for any kind of makeup except
powder. There is nothing that
I could recommend for you
except the usual" lipStick or
q lip pomade, a soft lipstick
which comes in either white
or rose and is meant to keep
the lips soft and smooth. The
white pomade is the only thing
which you should consider.
Try to encourage the natural
color in your lips.
When you wash your face.
take a rough wash cloth and
give your lips a good rubbing.
This will make them show a
healthy glow. You have all
your life to go in for makeup
and hair waving and the rest.
So resist the lure of sophistica-
ton while you can.

JORDAN DESCRIBES
CHAIN BRIDGE FIGHT
Conduit Citizens to Present
Brief at Hearing on
New Span.

Or. Ilewellyn Jordan, vice chairman
OF the Bridges Committee of the Board
of Trade, addressed the Conduit Road
Citizens Association at the regular
monthly meeting last night at the
Community Church on AN Outline of
the Fight for the Replacement of the
Old Chain Bridge"
The Conduit association recently went
on record asking Congress to appro-
pirate sum of money for the use of
the engineers of bridges to study new
bridge.
Outlining the need and the chances
OF replacing the present structure. DR..
Jordan cited that from traffic census
taken over the period of a year, $500
cars passed over this bridge daily. EX-
planning that this bridge stood first on
the list of bridges recommended in 1929,
he pointed out that it is not only
obsolete in its construction, but insuffi-
cient for the needs of the immediate
future.
The 8-inch water mains now sup
plying Arlington County with water
from Great Falls by the way Of this
bridge, according to DR. Jordan, in the
future will be inadequate for the needs
of this growing community and it will
probably be necessary to replace them
with larger ones which the bridge is
not made to support. Furthermore, he
said. the Tri-Regional Committee Is
Planning to run the Main to-Florida
BY Pass Route" over this bridge, which
Is taxed with the present traffic.
AS to the location of the proposed
bridge. he surnised that it would be
approximately one-quarter of a mile
above the present site and IN the
vicinity of the Dalecarlia reservoir.
The association adopted a resolution
Immediately after his talk appropriating
money to become a member of the
Board of Trade and giving the president
the power to appoint Clyde Bailey Of
the Chain Bridge Committee to repre-
sent them.
The group also instructed its Bridge
Committee to present brief at the
hearing Of the House Committee on this
subject.

at the last meeting to canvass the
