BY DOROTHY MACKAILL

For my personal wardrobe I
like sports type costumes, be-
cause they are so easy and
comfortable" to wear and are
most effectively designed this
autumn. Then, too, if one
must be at the studio all day
the sports ensemble seems
smartest for day-long wear.
I chose the sports ensemble
I am wearing particularly for
it's dashing accents of checks.
The coat is a loose, easy gray
tweed with dolman shoulders
and Chanel revers of black
and gray checks. The entire
coat is lined with this same
check fabric. To give the high
neckline that even sports
clothes have this season, I
wear an ascot of the same plaid
woolen as that used to line the
coat.
Using a beret of the same
checked woolen as that of the
coat is one of the new ideas I
like. I wear the beret well down
over one eye, topped far to one
side, and dress my hair with
rows of curls to meet the slant
of the beret.
My bag is of the same gray
tweed as the coat with a "chev-
ron stripe" of the checks used
on the coat, with my initial
circled in black to give it in
dividuality. The small, envelope
shape is just what I like for
the tailored sports bag.
Stitched gray gloves complete
the ensemble which I have
found will answer many de-
mands throughout the entire
day.

We have had a very happy mar
ried life and neither of us would
think of changing for all the
money in the world.
But there is one thing that
is eating my heart out, and
literally getting under my skin.
Last Thanksgiving Day she con-
tracted an insidious fondness
for walnuts, which has rapidly
grown to an obsession. Had I
realized the potential of what
I so blithely considered an idle
and passing whim, I should
have banned walnuts from our
home. She leaves a trail of
shells all over the house, so
that the children now follow
the path of shells to locate her.
She reads in bed-with a few
walnuts at hand-and let me
tell you that cracker-crumbs

If your train trip takes sew
eral days there are a few
things you should have with
you which will simplify your
problem.
Wide Choice
Here, more than in any other
instance, half the battle lies in
the equipment you take with
you. Not that there isn't
enough of it to be had, for
certainly every kind of beauty
case that bright minds could
conceive has already been in
vented.
The trick is to make sure
which one meets your own re-
quirements best.
A great many women depend
on the jars and bottles OF their
fitted suitcaSes to hold the
beauty sources that will see
them through their travels.
But separate cases may also be
purchased, put up by the coun-
try's foremost cosmeticians.
containing all the creams and
lotions your heart could desire.
For use while travelling, cer-
tain preparations stand out
like shining lights, and most OF
them are liquids.
One of the surest ways OF
keeping fresh looking is a light
cleansing lotion that you can
use frequently. There are hq-
uid cleaners that penetrate into
every tiny section of the pores.
TOnics
There are also tonics, flat
tering liquid powder bases,
which need only a faint dust
ing of powder over them. These
are drying to the skin, but ex-
cellent while travelling, and
they are a great protection II
you are motoring.
There are also eye washes,
and I don't think enough
women realize how especially
important these are en- route,
what with the strain of read
ing, or watching scenery fly
by, or the sun.
One of the life-saving items
to have with you when travel
ing is a tube or jar of cream
soap. The liquid soap found in
dressing rooms on a train is
apt to be too full of acids to
be very beneficial to the skin.
You must not forget your
perfume in its travelling atom

COLONEL.
DEAR COLONEL:
Do not despair. You love
your wife and she loves you.
There is even the chance that
she loves you more than she
does the other nuts. I heartily
sympathize with you. 1t does
seem that she is becoming a bit
thoughtless, but in the cheerful
give-and-take of married life
there are many little things that
should be borne with as much
equanimity as possible. Minor
idosyncrasies of either of the
parties must be tempered with
a bit of compromise. That is
the secret of a happy married
life. compromise. Try and
overlook the little things that
somewhat jar on each others

Dear Miss Fairfax:

and insisted on doing all the
work in a five-room bungalow,
including the washing. This
was all right until the children
came. Now, have two-a boy
and a girl. My husband has a
good salary and also inherited
money from his father. But
still do the washing.
Before we were married he
was all honey and devotion;
now he seems to get his chief
joy in life from thwarting me.
My mother wants me to bring
the children and have a COM
plete rest for two weeks. When
this was refused, mother sug-
gested that she come to us and
do the housework and look
after the children. am eX-
pecting another baby soon and
feel if I don't get a little rest

ordeal. The thought of leav-
ing my darling children is
driving me crazy for, of course,
my husband would marry
again. I feel caught in a trap.
YOUNG MOTHER.
Put up to your husband the
question of hiring help, if he
objects to your going to your
mothers for a rest or having
her come to you to do the work.
Better have your doctor talk to
him as well. When a woman'S
health and life hang in the bal
ance, there's no time to quail
before this type of domestic
czarism.
Men act as you describe your
husband acting, sometimes,
without realizing how utterly
unreasonable they are. Too

Huge puffs and ruffS were all
right last summer when we
didn't have to wear coats over

which are also worn without

that are much flatter-and

umbrella has a white lizard
handle that opens up to re-
veal a space large enough to
hold your rubbers. It's a grand
idea for those showers that

and you're all set.
Afternoon Chic
After proWling around the
shops morning, noon and night,
we've come to the conclusion
that there simply aren't
enough afternoon frocks to go
around this season! Evening
clothes this year are breath
takingly beautiful, sports togs
are dashing and daytime coats
are new and smart, too. But
as for afternoon frocks-there
isn't an ounce of chic in a
carload!
Lest we be besieged by every
fashion house in town re-
proaohfully-let us hastily add
that this isn't our own opinion
alone. We've heard the same
sad story from several store
buyers who have Wept into
their cocktails about the scare
ity of really new, original
afternoon fashions. And since
afternoon clothes are the back
bone of any woman's wardrobe,
we think something should be
done about it!
Slim and Straighter
However, such fashion news
as there is about afternoon
dresses is yours for the read
1ng-and here it is:
Silhouettes are slim and
straight-we know you've heard
this before, but it's so import
ant that it can't be said too
often. Skirts are smartest
when they're simplest-in fact,

Dr.. Bisch! S Daily
Diet Hint

Although it is possible to OBJ
tain all the food elements
necessary from strictly vege-
tartan diet, one drawback is
the difficulty of eating guam
titles large enough to maintain
the body's needs. For this
reason alone meat, at least
once a day, is advisable. Be-
sides meat, fowl and fish yield
energy in concentrated form
and help to counteract ten
dencies to anemia and general
weakness.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Hair Style

Hair Style
Question-My face is round
and full. How do you think
should part my hair. I. X.
Answer-If your face is
round and full, you should
part your hair on the side,
comb it back off your fore
head, bring it forward on your
cheeks and keep it flat over
your ears. This will end to
slenderize your face somewhat.
Nail Biting
Question: bite my nails
constantly and can't seem to
get over the habit. Can you
tell me what 1 can do?
X. L.
Answer-Nail biting is a
habit that you will have to
overcome through your own
perseverance. A bit of tincture
of aloes applied to the finger
tips, however, will help you in
breaking yourself of this habit.
Eye Shadow
Question: would like to
know what color eye shadow
you think would be becoming
to me. L have blue eyes.
Answer-As your eyes are
blue you may use either the
blue, blue-gray or gray eye
shadow cream. The blue Is
best for evening wear only, but
the other two shades may be
worn both in the daytime and
evening.
Reducing Lotion
Question: Can you tell me
the recipe for reducing
lotion? M. G.
Answer: Two squares of
gummed camphor dissolved in
eight ounces of alcohol makes
a good reducing lotion. Don't
use it on sensitive portions OF
the body. am not acquainted
with the cream you speak OF. e.
COIOrS
Question: I am a brunette
with a fair skin. What cOlOrS
do you think would be becOm-
ing to me? X. +.
Answer: I think that you

burnt orange, dark reds, clear
yellows, gray and green espe-
cially becoming to you.
