PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-Imagine a mon- keys amusement at finding his glossy black silk fur trimming the deep V back decolletage of one of fashions most favored evening gowns of white corduroy!
 You sort of picture him sitting back on his launches and saying, Well, we never know where we're going to land next" It's a sad world for monyekdom this sea- son for monkey fur is used so abundantly that it appears as everything fmor tiphcktles
 everything from thick belts for jackets and capes, to thin strands of shorter growths used as fringe and lace.
 Tunics and trains are frequent ly trimmed with monkey, and it is used in various ways at hat ,trm- ming. One couturier makes an ac- cessory grouping of monkey fur hat, purse and glove-cuffs.
 Several species of the animal are employed by fashion and their col ors run from jet black through the greys, browns, and on to the rarer pure white. The feet and ears are sometimes used as trimming in the same way that Dilkushi used tiger claws for fastenings. In both in- stances the feet grab little bone buttons. This is where variety en- ters the garden and ingenuity is allowed to run rampant. Buttons fashioned like peanuts should be used with the ensemble trimmed with monkeys fur and feet, and the ears used as perky trimming for a little round felt hat!
 You can gather steam for spring probably by opening your pur- chasing activities with a good printed silk and just have the little dressmaker around the corner whip it up while you're getting the win- ter's snow out of your ears and generally getting set with a real wardrobe plan. This will give the dressmaker something to eat with for "a week, and also save you from making a lot of wardrobe mistakes before the trend of the season is definitely understood. The yard-goods de- partments are filled with some de- lightful patterns, both French and American, but as usual the Shy locks have gotten in their dirty cracks too. Some of the advertise ments have footed prices which would startle the gold out of your teeth, but the low-down is that the patterns are not the orchids you think, but from by-gone sea- sons, and fabric people have un- loaded them for song.. They ought to be clouted because liquor, not dress patterns, is the only thing whcih improves with age.

STYLE CHATS
WITH AnMA ARCHER

The cinema for decades has made folks whimper for luxury in
 bed. Through the pictures, we have
 been made to believe that beautiful
 women Toll among silg pillows,
 dozens of satin pillows, and fur
 quilts. Luxuries in bed come high,
 but if you can take the rap, all
 women ought to style up their
 boudoir picture and start with
 Elsie, de Wolfe's grand bed rest. (Your dogs may already have one for protecting your best chair.)
 This ingenious bed rest is half a
 chair, but entirely of luxuriously- upholstered twill sateen, quilted and tufted. There are arm rests with pockets for books and trinkets and you even can order pastel slip covers to match your own sheets if you wish. The Elsie de Wolfe bed rest is a beautiful gift for your convalescing friend, or the charming means of furthering your own ''selfish, inquisitive in- stincts," to quote the designer.
 Billy Rose is making a real hit in New York with his novel res taurant, the Casino de Farce, and the patrons offer neat example of what /the average New York night -lifer enjoys wearing.
 Contrary to most spring seasons. a lot of bright, lipstick red is in the picture for both dinner and evening frocks. The white street dress, worn under dark coat, and
 made of either silk of wool on ec- clesiastical lines, is another popu- lar style, and white satin or crepe evening dresses, strassed up littis are having fling too. While Paris
 has been feeding and dancing iti patrons along with the undressed revue for years. New York is jus'
 learning the fun of such an at.
 traction. The show is good, anc
 the beautiful nude three .inche'
 high' in the trick mirror case is really almost beautiful and no
 the usual hare-lfpped type found
 in side show.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 PhcnolplIthalein
 Kindly tell me what effect ef- feet phenolphthalein has on the system? A friend says phenol is the same as carbOIic acid and a deadly poison. (Mrs s. O.
 Answer - Phenolphthalein is a comparatively harmless laxative.
 Chocolate
 Will eating a piece of chocolate heat the blood enough to make q person pcrspire? My brother con- suited d doctor about underweight and the doctor told him to eat a piece of chocolate every day, not to increase his weight but to warm him. He says it does, and every time he feels chill he eats some chocolate. (Mrs J. V. R.)
 Answer = No. The sugar in it is good food, provides quickly avail able calories, whether for heat or muscular energy. But it doesn't make one perspire.
 What, the Pupils Dilate? During the past month I have noticed that the inside black cup ping of both my eyes is sometimes quite large, nearly as large as the surrounding green part, and at other times it Is quite small, a mere dot. l have never had any eye trouble nor worn glasses.
 CT. K.)
 Answer - The dark central disk is called the pupil, and the green, gray, brown or other colored ring around it is the iris. The pupil normally dilates or becomes large when the eyes look off to a distant point or when there is no bright light shining on them. The pupils contract when the eyes look at a close object or when bright light shines on them. So you're all @hunky-dory.
 Glycerin
 I was advised by beauty spe- cialist never to use glycerin on my face as it grows hairs. (Mrs c. J.) Answer-If that were only true I'd try some glycerin on my dome. Only weak solutions of glycerin should be used on the skin, for too much irritates and makes the skin harsh, whereas in many instances very little, few drops to the ounce of lotion, helps to keep the skin smoth and soft.

 bind you to the south for life, for
 it is said that, comparatively speak | ing, no other city has such va riety of restaurants where foods are
 prepared to differently from those of other cities and other lands. Boullasse, crawfish bisque ,gumbo | file, Spanish omelet, pecan pie Ithese are some of the Creole dishes
 which send diners night after night
 to the courtyards in the quaint French quarter, where outdoor
 tables are set against a background
 of native ferns and shrubbery. And now during Lent very special
 dinners are planned around the 1 fish and sea food that are so abun- dant in lakes and bayous of Louisi-

WHAT PRICE REPEAL2

IT is little bit surprising to read that con-
struction of seven new cutters for the coast
guard, at a cost of $1152OO0O, just has been
authorized by the treasury department. In
applying for funds from the PWA, the depart
ment announced that these cutters will be
used to suppress rum running
1t is easy to understand, of course that
the laying of stiff import duties on liquor
shipments will provide an incentive for SNUG
glers; and it is only proper to recall that the
coast guard was on duty against smugglers
long before any one ever dreamed of a federal
prohibition law
Nevertheless, this business of seven new
cutters to stop rum runners is a little disturb
ing. Most of us, probably, had expected that
repeal of the eighteenth amendment would
put tl4e rum runner out of business almost
automatically Aren't the fruits of repeal to
be quite as rich as we had supposed?

this item so per cent. 1t allowed the United
States employment service only s1,950,000 for
1885, and the house voted 100 to 81 to sustain
the cut
The question has been raised whether it
was economy or politics that cause the sudden
attack on this ably-run service. At any rate
Director w Frank Persons says that cut in
the budget will discourage states about to
affiliate and hamper him in providing an ade-
quate placement service.
The importance of an effective nationwide
system of employment services is clear
Through them much human suffering can be
saved. And, now that we are preparing to
substitute unemployment insurance for the
dole, they become indispensable. No system
of unemployment insurance can succeed with
out public placement service. Unless a man
has registered for work there is no way to
tell whether he is entitled to insurance bene-
fits
1t is to be hoped that Senator Wagner and
other liberals of the upper house succeed in
restoring this ill-considered cut.

SAVE THE WILD LIFE

A RTHUR NEWTON PACK, president of
the American Nature Association, urges
American friends Of wild life to protest Wig
orously against proposed cuts in the congress
sional appropriation for the United States
biological survey
These cuts, if put into effect, he points out,
would eliminate the division of food habits
research, end the Investigations of waterfowl,
and greatly reduce the acquisition of bird
refugees and the protection of migratory birds.
The result, he predicts, would be greatly
to lessen the chances of survival of manv
species of birds. And yet the total sum of
money saved by the government as a conse-
quence of the cuts would be Insignificant in
comparison with the enormous totals being
spent for other projects
Preservation of wild life has been pro-
gram close to the hearts of many thousands
of Americans for years. 1t would be highly
regrettable if the program should collapse be-
cause OF the governments financial difficulties.

8 A NEW CONSTITUTION

ZONES now another proposed amendment
~ to the United States Constitution-that
to abolish the electoral college and resort to
direct popular election Of President and Vice
President. And there are plenty of strong
arguments for such an alteration.
The United States Constitution was adopt
ed as the foundation Of a democracy and it
is fast becoming mere patchwork, with
genuine democracy about as thin as water
Cruel The electoral college always practically
disfranchises millions of voters and it is rarely
that the color of the administration at Wash
ington is decided by majority Of the po-
tential electorate. The powers recently grant,
ed the chief executive, for better or worse,
really express departure from democracy. The
powers and immunities granted to or grabbed
of by the federal courts mean ravishment of
democracy.
Our Constitution long has been held up
before the would-be democracies Of the world
as the superlative in the way Of democratic
form of government. To save the democracy
that may be in it, we are right busy at adding
improvements and plugging up the holes that
are in it, and, verify, the time may come when
an American desiring to post himself on any
feature of his Constitution will be lost without
ten or a dozen pages of index as to the par
ticulars thereof.
WHY not a new Constitution? A new roof
is much better than fresh shingles in spots.

Is it because the subject is too

has the olfactory sense of Judge

that the overpowering odor that
permeates the room no longer is
