PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (UP) Jenny has
 moved from the Champs Elysees
 down to the somewhat swankier
 Rue Royal-where Redfern used to be, and just across the street from Molyneux.
 Her main idea this time has been to remove all doubt as to what smart women should wear from cocktails to midnight. This complex situation calls for a very clever triplex dress. Starting with what you eventually finish with, Is black satin evening gown. very simple and fitting you like your epidermis. It has the narrowest Of shoulder straps and practically no back. A deep fiounceg at the bot tom is cut into a short but wide train.
 Now for dinner. Over this sleek black satin foundation goes an ankle-length tunic of black lac e shot through with cellophane threads so 1t has that quivery. shiv- cry effect. It too. has a hounce cut so that 1t dips over the train ! in the back. Alternating with this is a hip-length tunic of white lame woven with a pattern of gold squares. A black satin sash com- pletes the picture. This is the cock tail preference.
 As for the. accompanying wrap. Jenny decides on a. black silk vel- vet affair touching the floor in front and sweeping over the train in the Eack--in other words. com pletely hiding the gown.

The little old chair stood in the corner. It was at one time bright yellow. with festoons of roses and violets on back and stretchers: but age gave it the appearance Of be- ing regarded through brown glass es.
 On it stood the new maid clean ing windows. The only day the chair had been out of the breeding corner for years. The lady of the house. owner of the chair, stood transfixed with horror at the sight, then suddenly galvanized into motion. Or went Maggie. the profaned chair was reyerently carried back to its corner.
 You see." she told us. Tt was Grandma Perkins chair. If the house burned down think I'd rescue my little chair first" We looked 1t over. Both of us had seen other old chairs of it's ilk. We could not understand her fierce pride in the relic. "A Chair with a Halo. why" thought I, docs she hold the old chair, so sacred while she treats the new with absolute unconcern?"
 When we were little and visited Grandma" she iexp.ained, none of us were allowed to touch that chair or little stand. We grew up thinking there was sort of halo around them"
 That seemed to her like the real explanation for her passion for the chair But I knew better. All of us boast of the things we were not allowed to do. not of the privileges we had when little. Sometimes the resentment sticks, of course, when there was too much .forbidding." But the little reservations of childhood were good for us and we knew it, and still know it. That is why we boast.
 The Salt Nof Existence. Old customs were not all wrong. The dress and shoes kept for Sun- day; the special lamp lighted only between six and seven: the book that couldn't be opened without l first scrubbing the hands; the lit-
 tie chair that mustn't be touched
 at all.
 It is as wise today as it ever
 was, except perhaps that .'toc
 many" things used to be verboten It is we'll for children to feel al
 home and free and comfortable to use the house and their belong
 ings, but there can still be restric-
 tions on certain things. It engenders not only habit o1
 keeping something extra for ''nice,
 and a feeling of providence and
 thrift, but it is brake on indul.
 gence, little whisper that die.
 tates thus:
 "Satiation is life without salt
 It is the little things we canno'
 do. cannot touch, cannot say tha
 give all living its real savor."
 Our little chairs. No wonder
 we love them.

 New York-p Modern foundation garments are a far cry from the stiff, boned and laced monstrosities that our grandmothers wore. The new varieties not only are comfor- table to wear, but they allow the figure to retain it's natural ccn- tours. After all, the purpose of any girdle or corset is not to dis tort curves and lines but simply to flatterf and hold the figure so that clothes fit perfectly and look neat CT.
 Foundation garments, like every thing else in a wardrobe, should be. chosen to suit the type as well as the figure. If you have mature curves and lines, by all means get an all-in-one that makes the hips appear to be pounds simmer. Make sure that it's fabric is run proof and woven with elastic, in suring the popular two-way stretch

 The model shown here at the left Is made of white silk, knitted with elastic. It's run-proof and stretches two ways, flattening the

right away and do something about it.
 You'll probably decide, on some sort of diet. Don't go in for a rigid one unless your doctor ad- vises it. Generally speaking, it's far better to eat small portions of every kind of food than it is to cut out some fods entirely. You will have to do exercises, too. A diet will make you lose
 weight, of course, but not always
 in the right places. Select exer-
 cises that you enjoy doing. Be
 cause of its simplicity, you prob-
 ably will like that illustrated here today, designed to reduce the waistline and make it supple. Stand erect with heels together and hands on your hips. Lunge forward with the right leg, keep ing the left foot flat on the floor and stretching the left arm for
 ward in front of you. Keeping
 arms and legs in this position. twist the body as far toward the right as it will go. Then swing # around to the left. Repeat ten times before returning the feet to the starting position. Reverse the exercise. lunging forward with the left foot, outstretching the right arm and keeping the left hand on the left hip.

COVER RADIATORS

The disadvantages of covered radiators can far surpass the ad- vantages if dust and germs are al- lowed to accumulate unnoticed be- heath the covers. Old-style covers that do not allow easy cleaning beneath them should be replaced by type which provides som. way for the housewife to dust the radiators without any difficulty. A reasonable estimate for new radi- ator covers throughout the house may be obtained from a dealer dr carpenter. and If desired, a loan for this and other improvement may be had from local bank or other financial agency cooperating with the Federal Housing Admin- istration.

Sister Mary:s Kitchen
By MARY E. DAGUE

The. cleyerest mother I know has worked out a fine plan to get enough noontime nourishment and vitamfnes into her youngest child who is one of those reluctant eat CTS that cause parents so much worriment. What she does IS serve a carefully-prepared vege- table soup made with meat or chicken stock and different vege- tables every day.
 Then to add both food element and interest. she accompanies the soup with croutons, those little brown crunchy squares of but tered toast that children love.
 There are several ways to make croutons. Some cooks dip the neat cubes of bread in melted butter an dbrown them in the oven, Others drop the cubes into deen hot fat and fry to a golden brown in sixty seconds.
 Choice of Bread Is Important
 The bread chosen for croutons is really more important than the method. It should be stale l,It not too dry and crumbling. A fine, close-grained texture is essential Cut in slices about h inch thick remove crusts and cut each slice into cubes with a sharp knife. The cubes are dried until they are crisp through. After this they may DC toasted or fried in deep fat.
 Croutons may be properly served in two ways: passed to each per son immediately after his soup is placed before him. or if the soII is served by the head of the fam fly at the table, English fashion, he may drop one or two table spoons of croutons into each plate as he serves 1t.
 Croutons, unlike crackers. are supposed to go into the soup and form a part of it. Consequently they are eaten with the soup from the soup plate and never with the fingers.
 Toast sticks are what their name Implies, sticks of toast. The bread for these Is cut in strips about M inch thick and < inch wide and g inches long. It Is thcr toasted in q hot oven and served unbuttered. like crackers. Each person helps himself and butter' his stick or not as he prefers Toast sticks are not broken Into tine HouD.

manning of the issue authorized
