TOBACCO FOE

NEW YORK.-The flame OF
battle is brighter than ever in the
dark eyes Of DR.. Charles Giffin
Pease, uncompromising foe of to.
bacco, tea, coffee, flesh-eating,
cocoa, soft drinks and alcohol.
He is 80 years old and at his
apartment the occasion was cele.
brated by 40 of his friends. Tears
streamed from his eyes as he
spoke of it.
He turned toward Mrs. Audrey
Fielder, 46, wife of a Newark real
estate broker, whom he legally
adopted four years ago:
"My blessed daughter ar
ranged this party. She is tired.
She has been exerting herself
all day"
Mrs. Fielder beamed upon hel
foster-father. who at 80 looks
more than ever like a prophet
His silky white hair is combed
down on his forehead. his mus
tache and broad goatee are the
same snowy white.
His skin is pink and clear as 8
baby'S, because, he explains, he
has never "indulged in tobacco
coffee, tea, flesh, cocoa" or other
things he considers harmful tc
the moral and physical structure
of the race.
He still walks in Central Park
after daybreak as he has done
for 80 years, and warns nurses
and mothers against giving their
babies cocoa or coffee.

evening, 10 to 16 button lengths are
to be had, but the advocated length
is just below the elbow. Panne velvet
gloves are favorites.
All formal handbags stress black
velvet, self trimmed with pleatings

necklines in afternoon clothes is
shown in this frock. The boat-shaped
treatment employed here hints at the
simple lines that characterize semi
formal dresses. Using the yoke of the
dress as a means to an end, the unique
bodice section of the lower waist eX-
tends we'll over the collar line, is pulled
through a slash and concludes its mis-
sion in an animated jabot of the Won
net type. The idea is tremendously
clever and not at all hard to accom-
plish. The dress may be made OF
soft. crepey wool, trimmed with satin
back crepe, or it may be of reversible
crepe, using the dull side for the dress
and the satin for the contrast. Bet
ter still, make it in velvet, with lame
as contrast, and have really de luxe
afternoon dress that will see you
through the entire Winter. Lame is
gorgeously rich this season and you
will want to own, if not whole gown

on it.

achieving these interesting revers that
cause even innocent bystanders, at
least, to register amusement, if not
deep-seated interest. This dress is
nothing if not casual. Every woman
is better for owning clothes of this
type. If they are made in smart wool,
or a dullish silk. she can grace prac-
tically any daytime occasion with
poise, for there is the stamp of CONT

Ensembles continue to star for
evening, their dual role being too
useful to abandon by the woman who
goes to dinner at formal restau-
rant, where she prefers to wear a
cape or jacket. then on TO a dance
or party of extreme formality, where
bare shoulders and low decolletages
are de rigeur. This seasons versions
emphasize the hip-length matching
jacket. with tiny bit Of fur at neck,
sleeves or hemline. Capes, split front
or back, wearable either way and
fastened with jewel clips are increas-
ingly stressed, as their vogue becomes
a popular one.
Black Is velvet color, but one must
not ignore the importance of white.
There are white crinkled velvet en-
sembles, layishly trimmed with white
fox, which figure for very grand af-
fairs. The purplish shades, which
were the big news Of the openings,
are represented in reddish violet, dull
amethyst, aubergine, raspberry and
magenta tones. Dark and brilliant
shades Of red are also sponsored, such
as geranium, garnet and scarlet. Dark
blush greens and reddish casts of
brown, dogwood petal pink and vi
brant blues complete the formal color
spectrum.
Evening coats feature a wide repre-
sentation of velvets, including chenille
plush and quilted or dotted velvet, in
addition to Lyons. Among the most
distinctive are the floor-length types
of taffeta backed velvet, dolman-
sleeved, bloused in back and frequent
ly bordered with fur. Three-quarter
and tunic length coats, some loose like
smock and others fitted at the
waistline, are seen repeatedly. Paris
likes capes, from hip TO two-thirds
length, and they are being promoted
by American houses, but whether
women will adopt them to any great
degree is another question.

VELVET tops the mode-for hats

all other fashions. It's felt for morn

the news of the day is the high hats

the profile types which slant high

Prepare for a beltless formal season,
