WASHNGTONFASHONS By Wilma LoNNe

Now is the time for all good
eyelet batistes to come to the
aid Of women. Now it is not
enough for them to be as vel
come as the breeze Of a power
full fan. For nothing is quite
as cool as a batiste, punctured
and embroidered so that there's
not an inch without hole in
1t. We recognized their good
qualities last summer, and gave
them an enthusiastic reception.
But this summer, in an effort
to improve them, the manufac-
turers made changes that most
of us think unattractive. So
you have to search and search
for a pretty batiste, one that
you can really like and want.
Simple Designs Best
It seems to these fashion
trained eyes, that the solid
color batistes are much the
smartest, those embroidered in
the same color as the material.
And the simpler the design,
the better they look. To add
trimming of any sort to an in
tricate design makes it much
too fuSSy, and this year we
must have our touch of white
or crisp fabric. Dark colors
seem the most popular, and
they make splendid street and
travel suits, a dark dress with
matching jacket, or a dress
with enough sleeves so that you
can wear it on the street. Brown,
navy and black are the colors
you see the most, though the
new currant red is excellent in
batiSte too.
Good in Suits
Our sketches show the chic
of these costumes much better
than mere words can. On the
left is a misses costume of eye
let batiste in a simple design,
with short7sleeved dress and
trim belted jacket. The collar
and jabot effect are of white
organdie with ric-rac edge. This
suit is only $8.95. On the right
is a suit in women's sizes, in
brown and cream, or navy and
white. It is SLOTS, and has
every line and detail designed
for a slender look. It is in
three pieces, while the other
costume is two-piece. These are
just two of the many smart
styles you can find.
For fashion information or
the name Of the store showing
these suits, write Miss LaviIle,
enclosing self-addressed, stamp
ed envelope, or call District

leads to a disproportion Of
the entire body and the familiar
picture of obesity.
Fat is derived from the food
we take in and it is carried by
the blood to various parts of
the body. 1t is stored away
as noted above-for purposes
of reserve but in such a chem.
ical state that it may be re-
absorbed again into the Circu-
lation when required for heat
or energy purposes. There
fore we all need fat in certain
amounts. Excess deposits are,
however, useless.
That some persons are more
prone to excess fat deposits
than others there can be no
question. After middle life
there is greater fat storage than
before. Women usually become
stout more readily than men.
Those who grow fat should
drink plenty Of water between
meals-as little liquid as pos
sible during meals-so as to
aid the processes of elimina-
ton. Acid fruits are excellent,
especially when eaten fresh. In
drinking tea and coffee, sugar
should be omitted. The use Of
saccharine for sweetening is to
be advised against. 1t is better
to become accustomed to drink
ing beverages without sugar,
even without milk or cream.
Eggs should not often be
eaten if weight is to be kept
within normal limits. Beef.
mutton, lamb and chicken are
permissible. Fresh fish may
be eaten but preferably varie-
ties that are not oily. Boiling
the fish is to be preferred to
frying.
AS regards vegetables. the
more Of these taken the better,

In this class belong spinach,
cabbage, asparagus, celery, let
tuce and the like. Vegetable
salads without oil dressing are
to be recommended, as these
are filling but not specially
nourishing.
1t goes without saying that
all candies, pies, pastries and
Sugary articles should be re-
duced to a minimum. The same
applies to malt and spurious
liquors.
DR.. Bisch's Daily Diet Hint
Anemic individuals should

Of milk a day, also plenty Of
butter, cereals with cream.
toast and preserved fruits. Spin
ach, tomatoes, lettuce and
orange juice should be stressed
because Of their vitamin con-
tent, while liver and red meats
can be taken twice daily. 1t is
highly important, however, that
the kind of anemia be always
ascertained first, before special
dieting is begun.

A Thorough Mix Up

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A few nights ago, my girl
chum had a call from a boy
she knew a long time. Unfor-
tunately, her steady" appeared
and, being peeved over this
visitor, he left her, then called
me up and asked me to go out
with him, as a special favor.
I assumed, hearing Of this
other fellow calling and because
was invited out by the
STEADY" that she had broken
with him. Afterwards, I discov-
cred that there was nothing to
this old friends visit, and she
was mad with me for going out
with her young man. I wrote
to her and explained how it all
happened, also called her on the
phone. When asked her if she
was angry, she answered in an
undecided tone. I'm terribly
unhappy, as I am devoted to her
and she has proved to be a most
loyal friend. "SHOTSY."
Your girl friend strikes me as
unduly jealous and uncertain of
the constancy of her STEADY"
which is not the best way Of
keeping him. Seeing that his
girl had a caller, and not enjoy
ing the prospect of threesome,
he invited you to go out with
him. These STEADY" partner
ships, bounded on the north,
south, east and west by jealousy,
have a way of blowing up. It's
better to be a little more liberal
and modern with the girl or boy
friend. I can't see that you did
anything disloyal to your friend,
and would wait till she got over
her mad"

The Beauty
Box
By HELEN FOLLETT

Considering what a wealth
OF material things are designed
and constructed for the pur-
pose Of making woman easy on
the eye, one must come to the
conclusion that if a gal isn't
blessed with good looks, it is
pretty much her own fault.
Inherited beauty is great
advantage of course, yet
grooming and good taste in
dressing will make up for the
lack of the elegant profile,
heavenly eyes, the pearl-and-
ruby complexion. Smart attire
is more than half the beauty
formula. The trump, the mis-
guided femme who paints too
much and not too well, the
drab, colorless dame, simply
don't know how to make the
most of their opportunities. The
world gives them everything
they need to work with. They
lack skill, good workmanship.
They must get on the beauty
wagon, join the pageant.
Stretching exercises call into
play almost every muscle of
the body. They're good for thin
girls because they make for
toned fibers, they're good for
fat ones because they take the
spirit from adipose tissues. A
simple one is to lift the hands
high, get up on tiptoe, see how
far you can walk that way. Lift
the feet high with each step.
You'll feel like a reproduction
of a slowed down movie.
Stretch when awakening,
stretch before sleeping.
Don't throw away your old
perfume bottles. Remove the
cork, place the bottle in the
dresser drawer. Though there
is apparently not a single drop
in it, it will impart fragrance
to gloves and handkerchiefs for
a long time. Pads of blotting
paper, bearing floretted odors,
can be bought. Tuck them in
hat Innings, stick 'em in coat
pockets. Simpler than Sachet
bags.

How to Prevent Excess Fat

Indeed, it may even become

Fat tissue is normally found
underneath the skin, in the

She's a Beautiful Nurse

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am very much in love with
a beautiful nurse. I met her
while she was on a case where
I was employed. I fell in love
right away. It was love at
first sight, guess. 1 don't
know whether she loves me or
not. I am 81 and she is %. I
want to go regularly with her
but she insists that am too
young for her. She is thinking
it over. I want your opinion of
it. Does age matter so much
when you've in love. H.
No, 1 don't think two years
difference in ages matters in

young lady is thinking it over,
which is always a hopeful sign.
Why not wait for the results of
her decision before you begin

heartening proverb If at first
you don't succeed, try, try
again. Good luck.

the late Louis B. Parsons, for
many years vice president Of
the Knickerbocker Whist Club,

I overcalled with 2-Spades.
North went 3.Clubs, and Mr..

This explosion of the human
mind in Leni's delicately-fur-
nished bedroom was something
beyond her control.
With all of his restraint
blown up, Gerstenfield grew
binder and binder in ungov-
ernable rage. He poured out
all the hatred and poison ard
bitterness of his life upon this
girl whose beauty had come to
symbolic his entire frustra-
ton.
The flood gates Of his
savagery we're open.
Leni could hear him gasp
for breath. Half of it was
insanity and half of it was
sheer human brutality.
Leni waited for the storm
to expend itself. Opening her
eyes she saw Gerstenfield
standing between her and the
window, his dishevelled form
swaying from side to side like
an animals. his fists clenched
at his sides.
The vision trembled indis-
tinctly through the involuntary
tears that swan in her eyes.
"You don't know what you're
saying!" she said in low
voice. "You are out of your
head. This afternoon you said
you were my friend-you cared
for me-"
You're Beautiful
At these words Gerstenfield
quieted, became ominously ST.

her for a moment and then
sank down on the bed beside
her.
He did not, at first, touch
her and Leni lay motionless,
scarcely breathing. Her very
et1ietness. she hoped, would be-

His eyes became hollow and
hungry-fastened upon her in
a futile effort to absorb her
beauty and draw it into him.

Thus, close to her, he was
conscious of her faint breath
ing-an exhalation of freshness
and delicate fragrance that
crept into his being and
swirled warmly in his throbbing
veins.
There were soft rounded
curves contrasting with the
pure straight lines Of her slen-
derness. The late afternoon
light flowed onto the cleaning
texture of her arms and neck
and into the golden recesses of
her bright scattered hair.
Darn you, you're beautiful"
he said, between his teeth.
He was aware in his in
famed mind of her magic un-
approachability that for months
had secretly heated the repres-
sions in his blood and left him
stagnant and helpless.
Leni decided she must divert
his mind.

said. They have personality,
