BY CLAIRE DODD

One of the most arresting
things about the current styles
is the wealth Of detail that
finds its way into every gown.
Formerly, when we bought a
dress, if it had nice material,
good lines, and that certain
something we love to call
"smart simplicity" we were
satisfied. But now, with the
new deal in fashions, all that
is changed. We demand indi-
viduality; the new attention to-
ward good living, expressed in
clothes. And we get it by Law
ishness of detail.
For formal evening wear, I
take great pleasure in wearing
the ensemble in which I am
photographed above, and which
illustrates exactly what I mean.
A year ago, a gown serv-
ing the same purpose would
probably have been described
simply as being Of flesh
colored crepe Roma. combined
with silver tipped fox. Now,
the costume is a real creation,
and that doesn't cover a tenth
of the things that should be
said about it.
The bodice neckline reaches
a low "V," and finds addi-
I Jnal interest III the silver
bugle beads and the bolero-like
treatment Of the over-drape. An
other drape depends from the
shoulder, finishing in a long
band of beading that trails the
floor.
Like most of the new modes,
the skirt is closely fitted about
the hips, with the fullness
placed low. The tied flounce
on each side is unique.
A free-swinging swagger coat
finishes the ensemble. It has
full cape sleeves, three quarter
length, and a wide band Of
fox fur across the top of the
arms, while the shoulders are
left bare and the wrap is held
in place with beaded straps
coinciding with those of the
dress.
Naturally, with this costume,
anything in the way of jewelry,
added to so much detail, would
spoil the whole effect, and my
only accessories are high-heeled
kid sandals Of silver to match
the beads.

Beauty Queries
and Answers

Feet
Question: My feet, in the
past, have always been normally
healthy, and I've never had
any trouble with them at all.
Recently, however, I've acquired
an ingrOwn tOenail on my right
foot, and boy, does it hurt! I
suppose I really should have
the condition treated by an ex-
pert in that line, but my purse
is not very well lined with
ducats just at present. Is there
anything that I can do about
the nail myself, at home?
Answer: An ingrown toenail
is best treated by cutting the
nail into a V shape, with the
center point of the v pointing
in toward the root of the nail.
Then, while training the toenail
to grow narrower at the top, a
little lambs wool should be
kept tucked around the sensi-
tive edge of the nail, where it
had grown into the flesh. You
can do this much yourself, at
home, in addition to seeing that
your shoes fit you properly, and
do not in any way cramp your
toes. But if there is any sign
of infection a chiropodist should
be consulted at once about the
condition.

every outdoor diversion, regard
less of weather. Her life is
lived at unnatural speed. City
life is nerve-wracking and
crowded. The tension to which
she is constantly keyed tends
to drain her of bodily vitality.
Simple Remedies
Most women realize this yet
few are constantly alert to over
come the evil effects. The har.
rassed expression which betrays
over-strained nerves and fatigued
body is a source Of premature
wrinkles.
There are a few simple
things absolutely essential to
good health, cheerful living and
a normal skin. We have
preached them before, but we
stress them again.
Drink plenty of water: at
least two glasses before break
fast and four or five during the
day, always between meals. Eat
carefully, simply and regularly.
Battle the entire body every
day.
Establish and follow a SIM
pie morning routine Of muscle
toning exercises. Have a re-
gular check-up with the dentist
and physician.
Soap and Water
The constant ilnpregnation Of
the skin with CRIME and grit
necessitateS constant effort in
cleansing it and restoring the
natural oils which are absorbed
by foreign sediment.
Soap and water are not suf-
ficiently penetrating to remove
dirt from the pores Of the skin
and their constant use is apt
to be irritating. Of course this
isn't true of an excessively oily
skin. For in that case only
soap and water should be used,
and occasionally one Of the
cleansing liquids.
A cleansing cream is advis-
able ordinarily. The climate
in Washington in the winter
also demands the use of a
nourishing cream. Maybe you
can find a cream which can be
used for both cleansing and
nourishing. I know Of one, and
I will be glad to let you know
the name Of it if you write in.

Halloween COIOrS
Fashion gets into the Hal
loween spirit with lots Of gay
costumes in orange, gold and
black dresses, and sweater sets
in gold and black. So wear your
Halloween colorS today-and
wear them afterwards, too
they'll still be smart for the

when special collections of
sports and formal furs will be
offered by the shopS-and all
tried and true fashion folk are
quite enthused over the idea.
So your faithful fashion scout
dashed right over to one Of our
leading fur houses to find out
what's what. Especially impor'
tant are the spotted sports
furs-leopard, cross-leopard and
civet cat-all made on swagger
sports lines with scarf collars.
Kidskin and lapin also make

Advice ! @

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX


Dear Miss Fairfax:
About a month ago I had a
blind date with a young man
six years older than I. He
visits his home city, where I
live, only occasionally. Before
he went back to the city where
he is employed, he called me a
sweet thing" and kissed me.
Need I admit fell in love with
him? I received an impersonal
card from him the day after he
left, saying he would write later.
1 answered his card Immediately
by letter, thanking him for keep
ing his promise. I waited three
weeks for reply but none
came. Desperately I sent him q
postal card, kidding him about
not writing, but no answer came
from him.
I was called away from home
for two weeks, and during that
time my friend came back here.
He had intended to stay for 10
days, but complained of the
town being dull and left after
four days. When I got back I
had a letter from him. The mes
sage it conveyed amounted to
this, that he was anxious to see
me.
Today it is exactly one week
since answered his letter and
I haven't heard a word yet. Car
ing for him as I do, it gives me
a great deal of worry thinking
about him. ANXIOUS LOVE
My dear, whether they are
or are not, men like to think
of themselves as the purSuers.
Bernard Shaw assured us such
is not the case-that we women
actually do the pursuing-but
it has to be done with finesse,
and the secret kept dark.
When you replied immedi-
ately to an impersonal card
with an effusive letter thank
ing the young man for writing,
that was mistake 10. !. It was
too bad you weren't home when
he came for a vacation. A few
words will iron out things
better than any number of
letters.
If he answers your last let
ter, better not reply too quickly,
and soft pedal any great en-
thusiasm you may feel tempted
to write. From your letter,
which was too long to print,
I'm afraid you've not kept the
young man guessing hard
enough.

Cheer up! Even though you've'
been regretting the passing of
your favorite summer fruits, cram
berries are here to take their
place. And a more delicious and
colorful fruit would be hard to
find.
For those who haven't yet
delved into the mysteries Of cram
berry cookery, now is the time to
begin. You'll be surprised to
learn how many intriguing dishes
can be prepared from them.
The cranberry has long been
appreciated for its beautiful color
and it's piquant, refreshing flavor.
From the early New England days
this typically American fruit has
graced our tables, especially on
festive occasions such as Thanks
giving and Christmas. But until
recently, we've served them
mostly in sauces, jellies and pies.
Rich in Minerals
This may have been due to
the fact that the cranberries of
the earlier days grew wild and
were smaller and probably less
flavorful than the magnificent
cultivated berries we have today.
I wonder why we went so long
without discovering the many
delicious desserts made from
them as well as the delightful
combinations with other foods.
Today the cranberry fits into
every course in the menu, adding
novelty and sprightliness to many
an otherwise ordinary dish.
AS cranberrieS are so rich in
mineral salts, it is really an i'm
portant matter to remember
when making up the daily food
quota. Also cranberrieS which
are grown in the bogs near the
coast contribute iodine which is
needed so materially in the in
land regions. Therefore, these
The Washington times., 1933-10-30

If you haven't been shopping,
and haven't tried on these new
long and elegant clothes, you
should certainly go, for it
makes a new woman of you,
There's a feeling of richness,
Of luxury, or being a grand
lady, about them. It makes
you feel rich and successful
just to put them on, and that's
the feeling that we all want to
cultivate these days.
Femininity Reigns
Skirt fulness, especially right
down at the bottom Of the skirt
is not only romantic and grand,
but it is very, very feminine.
It belongs to the same class as
the high necklineS, full sleeves,
and emphasized bosoms that
make for greater femininity.
They all contribute to the
modern conception of grace,
which isn't far removed from
that of our mothers, except
that it allows for more freedom
Of movement.
Formal Skirts Long
All formal clothes may be
full at the bottom this year, and
most of them are extremely
long.
The new dinner gowns, soma
of them long-sleeved, and some
with just covered shoulders,
have this marvellous slim skirt
with a flounce or Set-in fulness
toward the hemline. And the
evening gowns have it too.
FlOunces Popular
A flounce seems to be the
most graceful way of achieving
this low fulness, though slim
skirt that is cut so it is wider
below the knees, does it nicely
too. The dress we have photo
graphed today shows the type
of flounce that is used, and how
lovely it can be. This dress
has little bustle-like flounces
from the waistline down, to
correspond with the fulness at
the bottom.
The gown is of dull rough
silk crepe, in white or chalky
pastels. 1t has the new neck
line, cut veryshigh in front, and
down to the waist in the back.
Cut flowers of the material
trim the belt in front, and
there's no other trimming need
ed in the back. 1t is $16.95,
and comes in Junior sizes, II
to II, in downtown store.
