face emerges like a flower
from it's leaves. It's flattering
no end, besides being COM
fortingly warm in wintry
weather.
Three things to remember
when you go coat-shopping this
season-that silhouettes are all
straight and slim from the
waist down-that fur for sleeves
and other trimmings are all
placed from the waist up-that
fabrics are crepey and furs
are either fluffy, like fox, or
flat like Persian lamb or
caracul.
For Winter Coats
Get a winter coat of crepey
wool, because it's both dressy
and durable. Silky woolens
like duveteen are high style
and very swell, but it's the coat
of crepey wool you'll go shop
ping in all morning and
matineeing in all afternoon.
There are some very nice
nubbly woolens out-rough, of
course, but not too rough!
Often they look rough, but are
real smooth-this seeming i'm.
possibility being achieved by
weaving a crepey pattern into
smooth-Surfaced wool. So
that you can see all sorts of
smart stripes, chevrons and
zig-zags in the material, but
you can feel only a perfectly
smooth surface. Black comes
first on the color card, brown
and taupe (eel-gray to YOU'D
are close seconds, and greens
take third place.
For Winter Dresses
OF course, rabbits hair wool
ems are still being worn in win
ter frockS-but it's our duty to
warn you that they won't last
much longer. They're not ter
ribly new looking any more, and
women who have bought them
complain that they stretch and
become baggy and shapeless-
looking after few weeks. So
if you haven't bought a rabbits
hair wool frock-don't.
Get something much newer
and smarter-the light wool

Love|orn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

How much time will you
really want to spend with this
youth you're going to marry.
even though you think your
self madly in love with him?
We all know that in the old
fashioned household, husbands
weren't seen from breakfast
until dinner.
Now the work day is shrink
ing. The young husband is
likely to drop in on his girl
bride at precisely the time Of
day that she likes to 60 to a
beauty parlor, or do her shop
ping, or gossip with friend
next door, or take a nap.
"Fiancee" has written to tell
me that 20-year old Bill, whom
she's engaged to marry, has
new job. His day lasts from
six in the morning until noon.
my mother has upset me a
good DEAL" she writes. She
says no woman wants a man
around too much, and no young
wife can stand getting three
square meals day. We're
sure to quarrel, she tells me.
But is this true? Bill is a
darling boy. We love each
other terribly. And isn't he
lucky to have any job at all?
What do my relatives want
me to do-throw Bill over, or
make him spend his afternoons
outside the house where some
other girl will get him?"
"Fiancee" shows sense and
spirit. She is living in a new
era and she realizes it. Her
married life will be very differ
ent from her mothers. But
what of that? 1t may be much
better. .
First of all, they're going to
have a lot more leisure. Will
it be a bore or a godsend2
Will this love of theirs prove
to be the real thing, the gloryF
of their lives, or will it be a
mere flash in the pan, the kind
that's quickly smothered by
domesticity?
If I were a young bride, it
seems to me, I should adore
the sight of that fine young
lover of mine. m r C h n g
straight home from work to
spend his spare time with me.
He'd help me cook the dinner
and wash the dishes, too, and
then we'd arrange our new
rooms. Or we would go out
on a trip to the country. And
in the evening we'd have a
little bridge party, or go to the
movies, or read together at
home. And the day wouldn't
seem half long enough.
It's all going to be mat
ter of loving each other enough
and having similar tastes. The
new workday will be a love
test,

is a nightgown not a night
gown? When it's an evening
gown, of course!
October Wedding
Here comes the bride! Ca
milla Brown was married to
Robert Warren Garfield on Sat-
urday in one of the smartest
society weddings of the season.
AS they came up the church
aisle after the ceremony Crying
hard not to look too self-con-
Scious) we caught a glimpse Of
the brides gown. All in white
crepe shot with silver threads
a chic change from the tradi-
tional white Satin-with very
wide wing sleeves divided by
narrow strips of lace. Lovely
old lace made the bridal veil,
too.
Very picturesque was the
bridal procession that followed
blue velvet for the maid of
honor's hat and gown, and be-
ruffled blue taffeta for the
bridesmaids. The bridesmaids
hats were charming, too, being
merely twisted bands of the
same blue taffeta wound around
the head. to which tiny wells
were attached.

The Rhymins
Optimist
By ALINE MICHAELS

A Fancy
The Trojan Helen, when she
passed,
Left this strange legacy behind;
Her dust, as long as earth shall
last,
Is blown along the unquiet wind
And where its grain of magic
falls
Upon another woman's heart,
The golden Helen's glamour
calls
And all the years between de-
part.
Gone Priam now, and Hector
gone,
Ajax, Achilles and the rest;
Gone Paris who was loves poor
pawn
With Helen's bright head on his
breast.
But here and there on earth
today
Another Helen lives to smile,
And men go mad beneath her
sway
AS time turns back, a little
while.
The Trojan Helen Is breath
OF legend in world grown cold,
Her loveliness windtossed in
death:
But still her dust is potent gold.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Curly Hair

Curly Hair
Question: Your last bit Of ad.
vice was so wonderful that now
I shall probably wear my vel
coma out. Is combing as bene-
ficial to the hair as brushing it?
My hair is rather crisply curly
and when I brush 1t at night
it seems to go flat and limp the
next day. Combing has just the
opposite effect. Also I'd like
some information about the elec-
trio needle. 1 have had some
work done by the sO-calIed pain
less method but I just couldn't
stand it, SO I gave it up. I won
der whether all this work is the
same or am 1 just a cry baby?
A. D. d.
Answer: Indeed you don't
wear your welcome out, A. D. D.
You are an answer to a beauty
editors prayer that there are
nice chatty letters to publish Of
general interest. In answer to
your first question, about
whether you should comb or
brush you hair. I would say by
all means to throw your brush
in the ash barrel or put it in the
guest room. The brush does
take the curl out of the hair and
you. can keep the scalp in per-
feet condition by massage and
through Shampoos. We may
have the tribe of brushers down
on our necks-but at least you
and I will have the curl in our
hair. The only electric needle I
ever INDUCED in was one in the
capable hands of a dermatolo-
gist, and although it wasn't one
of the incest picnics I have at
tended-it was we'll worth the
few uncomfortable minutes I
spent. However, there was not
even a suggestion that the elec-
trio needle was painless-so, at
least, I was not disappointed.
Why don t you try one OF the
improved wax depilatories?
The Washington times., 1933-10-17

your days doing a leisurely
routine and eating three husky
meals?
Fresh Air
Why do you think that your
complexion should be peaches
and cream when you are not
eating the right food, and what
is worse, when you never seize
the opportunity to get breath
Of fresh air and some exercise?
No matter what her occupa-
ton is, every woman could steal
q few minutes each day to
spend on her health, which in
turn will affect not only her
appearance, but her whole out
look on life.
Skating has enjoyed a vogue
Tor several seasons with many
young people. It was, of course,
taken up originally as fad,
the smart thing to do. But the
popularity of this form of ex-
ercise has greatly increased and
skating may be done with great
advantages to the figure. Now
more and more others are re-
alizing the benefits of such
exercise and are taking it up
because it has real health-giving
features.
POise and Grace
In the first place the motions
Of skating affect the hips and
thighs, giving them a regular
swing from side to side. The
waist also comes in for it's por-
ton of turning in quick and
even motion. Next, the arms
and shoulders are affected by
the unity of movement.
1t helps to develop the chest,
and in fact, will give you al
most the complete exertion of
every muscle achieved in SWIM
ming. Only, of course, it is
not half as strenuous.
Skating will help your poise,
and in that way it is a rival
to one of the most famous
devices in training for the
stage-fencing. It will teach
you how to walk more grace
fully and carry yourself with
greater ease.
Economical
Age has little to do with
ability to skate-so secure a
pair of rollers. It is one of
the cheapest forms of exercise.
Good skates may be purchased
for very little.
Bicycling is another benefi-
cial form of exercise. If you
can steal your younger brothers
bicycle, get out and try it. It,
too, helps the hips and thighs.
It requires little skill and
especially in the hectic whirl
Of traffic. But you may live
IN the suburbs, in which case
a little turn" would be easy
to manage.
If you would give even 20
minutes day to such exercise,
the benefits would be assured.

General Pointers on Reducing

General Pointers on Reducing
Although the boyish form
seems to be going out Of date
and fashion DEGREES that the
stylish figure Of today should
not be without curves, women,
by far and large, are about as
interested in the problem of re-
ducing as before.
To be sure, the feminine sex
does tend to take on surplus
weight much more than does
the masculine, and to no good
purpose. Overweight is deleteri-
Gus to the general health, not to
mention its unSightliness when
it is excessive. On the other
hand, reducing can readily be
carried to extremes and such is
often the case.
Dangerous
Women, especially young
girls, deliberately try to keep
their weight even below the
average standard for their age
and height. Such practices, of
course, are distinctly dangerous.
During an illness, for exam
pie, the body has too little to
draw upon for purposes of
energy requirements. In fever,
the human being burns up his
own tissues, especially where eX-
cess tissues exist. This explains
why we always lose several
pounds while sick. A margin Of
safety, therefore, in the form
Of avoirdupoiS is desirable. This
margin is considered in the
preparation of standard weight
charts according to height, age
and sex.
Cautions
If one exercises more than
usual and eats less than usual
the two really logical meth
ods of reducing - a certain
strain is placed upon the heart,
the circulatory system, and
upon the other organs. That
is why women sometimes de-
velop weakness Of some organ,
the lungs perhaps, and as a
result Of too strenuous or too
frequent reducingS, they con-
tract tuberculosis or some other
chronic ailment later in life.
Thyroid extract, in the form
Of pills or capsules, IS a IA
vorite agency for taking off
weight. Thyroid however, should
under no circumstances be used
unless prescribed by a physi-
clan. What is more, the pre-
Scribing physician always
should be permitted to continue
his supervision Of such a case.
Galleries Count
What matters in diet is not
the bulkineSs of the food, but
it's caloric value. A small
piece OF butter, for instance.
contains as many calories as
does plate of lettuce and to-
matoes. The former, further
more, will tend to increase
weight and yet satisfy hunger
less than will the latter.
Reduction Of the daily liquid
intake is highly important in
any reducing regimen. Water
should be taken in smaller
amounts, as should tea, coffee,
soups, and all other liquid
foods.
Eating five or six small meals
a day is also better for reduc-
ing than one or two large ones.
BY eating frequently the appe-
tite is always spoiled" so to
speak, with the result that the
total caloric value of the six
meals is actually much less
than that Of two heavy meals.

Repeal Fashions
With repeal just around the
corner, our stylists are rushing
forward with the new wine col
ors-which are not only smart,
but won't show any spots or
stains caused by an excess Of
spirits!
First, there are the true wine
shades-sherry and port. Then,
there are the cordial colors
like blackberry and cherry. And
finally, the liquor shades-char-
treuse, benedictine and creme
de menthe. So pick your frocks
to match your drinks and save
on the cleaners bill!
New Negligee PyjamaS
At last we've found the kind
of negligee pyjamas we've been
looking for all our lives! They're
in velveteen-i1 gorgeous jewel
colors-ruby red, emerald green,
sapphire blue, etc. Both the
negligee and pyjamas are COM
plete by themselves that you
can wear them separately OF to-

nificent in ruby red-with its
high, buttoned neckline and FULL
shirred sleeves-that we're wear
ing it as an evening wrap, too!

Dr.. Bisch' s Daily
Diet Hint

In drinking beer it must be
remembered that most of it
is water and that water has
weight. Excessive beer drinking,
therefore, can readily dilate
the stomach with the result
that after a few years, a defin-
ite, chronic overdistension and
dropping" of this organ may
occur. Before prohibition, such
cases were by no means uncom-
mon. Too much beer should
never be drunk at any one
time.

Fine Period Pieces
We've photographed such a
dining room for you today.
It's on display in downtown
store, so you can go down and
see it for yourself, and get a
much better idea of the charm
of the colors.
The furniture is of a fine
grain crotch mahogany. The
buffet is along Heppelwhite
lines with serpentine front.
The table is a Duncan Phyfe
design, and the shield back
chairs with fluted legs and
slip seats are of Heppelwhite
origin, too.
It's quite all right these days
to use pieces from two or three
designers in one room, just so
they are of the same period,
and go we'll together. There's
china closet of the secretary
type with cabinet button that
doesn' show in the photograph.
Small Spots of Color
The draperies are of satin
damask in a rich ruby red.
There are red roses on the ta-
BILE. and red candles used. The
china has blue in it, and the
glassware is rock crystal, as
there's enough color in the other
things.
The slip seats to the chairs
are upholstered in blue fab
ric, and there's both red and
blue in the oriental rug. The
sparkle of the crystal and the
gleam of the silver are lovely
with strong colors, and make a
beautiful room. The furniture
and accessories are all moder-
ately priced.
