PARIS STYLES BY MARY KNIGHT

United Press Staff Correspondent.
 Paris (UP)-Werl be using panne velvet for summer. Worth uses this fabric in a quality so fine and glossy that you can scarcely tell it from satin. In red, he makes delightful evening gown trimmed with one of the new fine-sashcs of lighter tone of red velvet ribbon. The sash comes down from the center of the back to the waist and then sticks out in loops that are very geometric in their angles.
 The combination of beige and capucinc (nasturtium) is one of Worth's best for street wear. He uses light weight wool in the beige for Q smartly tailored suit of skirt and hip-length jacket with straight sleeves and no collar or cuffs. The front of the jacket folds back and belt holds 1t in place but there are no >fastenings at all otherwise. The front of the belt consists of a wide band of bronze with two buckles at each end, about five inches apart. The rest of the belt is of wool. The wide scarf, which is an important part of the ensem- ble, Is worn ascot fashion and it's bright ed-orange (of the more brilliant nasturtiums) lends just the right touch of color for con- servative smartness. Hat, gloves, purse and shoes are of beige, matching the suit.

'I'm doing it." Pablito answered shortly.
 "Give us couple more ycars," Beau prohpesied, land we can buy the Ritz and give it to the first kid that, comes along"
 They divided their earnings, which were large during the win- ter season, into thirds. Pablito, under the name of Juanito Lopez, bought land, invested in some sound bonds, gave prodigally to the orphanages of Cuba and gambled little.
 Across the hard beaten road where each day plodded oxen with cane-laden carts, stood 6 suburban grocery store and in the apartment which was above Lottie. Pablito and Beau lived. The road was their front yard, the roof their garden. Beau who could lean over the rail of the open, twisting rear stair to call "Cinco botillas de lager!" was satisfied since five bottles of lager were among the few things necessary for his peace. Pablito didn't care wher they lived. Lottie murmured a good deal about dwelling in "a swell house. at La Playa de Marianao, the fashionable bathing beach where the Havana Yacht Club is located. "You can always See somethin' goin' on there," she pointed out but she never per- suaded the others to move.
 Pablito read avidly between workouts in the gymnasium, cross country runs and rub-downs. Book gave him the peace and for getfuness he could find nowhere else. The truly happy, he realized, did not need an anodyne for life nor to turn sharply from the sweet ness of the past because of it's con- trast with the present. He won- dercd often about Estelle Field wha tshc was doing, and where she might be and whether or not she was happy. He preferred not to think of her because thinking of her was painful. Nevertheless, when his anodyne was dull or

 A great many insomnophobes can snap out of 1t if they really want to-the trouble is that so many of them cling to their alleged sleep- lessness for identically the same reason that so many dissemblers cling to their nervous exhaustion" It enables them to impose upon their relatives and friends, to get lots of sympathy and easy pardon for their sins. In short insomnia is just anther way to spell selfishness in many instances.
 The natural or physiological remedy for poor sleep Is so simple that none but an honest sufferer will use 1t at all. It is physical fatigue. Work or play or exercise enough at anything at all to get pleasantly tired and you'll sleep all right, unless there really ie some- thing physically wrong which de- mands medical care. If you're too danged snooty to pitch in and do some homework or garden work or other helpful chore, then at least get out and hike for an hour every day or every evening.

Nowadays it's seldom. that a shipping of spinash is decidedly weedy. However, this should be considered, as weedy spinach means loss of weight as we'll as time in sorting out the weeds.
 Spinach that is very sandy or dirty is difficult to clean because the grit seems to defy all washing,
 If the leaves are light colored and of yellowish tinge and tight ly curled, plant insects are usually present. That particular lot Of spinach will have an unpleasant flavor when cooked. A few plants with a yellowed leaf do not mean inferior quality and of course the center of the plants often contains the tender yellow baby leaves which are very delicate and desir- able.
 How to Wash.
 Although the washing of spin- ach Is simple, it's important. All ways lift the leaves from one wat ter bath to another. In this way the sand which settles to the bot tim of the pan IS not disturbed. It's a>good plan, too, to let spin ach stand in cold salt water for at least half an hour before clean- ing and looking over for cooking. This freshens any wilted leaves and draws out hidden insects.
 Cut the leaves from the stems. She tems are hollow, are apt to contain sand and furnish little food value. They take longer to cook than the leaves and make it necessary to prolong the cooking period if they are not discarded.
 After thoroughly washing let the leaves drain in a colander for Q few minutes to remove excess water. Then cook covered over a medium fire until steaming, about five minutes. Remove cover and toss lightly with fork. Cook tn- covered until tender and almost dry. Season with salt just before taking off the fire. Drain if nec- essary before adding additional seasoning and serving.

SOUND AND DREAMLESS
 SLEEP


 Did you ever have your dream waking? It is fine pastime and diversion studying ones own dream. In order to do the trick you have to practice many nights first. You must deliberately spy on yourself from the moment you hn- ish your belly breathing until con- sciousness drifts into the twilight. What you can snatch in that feet ing moment Is all you'll ever know about your own dreamland.
 Dreaming is physiolog ]. Dreamless sleep does not occur ex- ccpt in grave illness or injury in which there Is total loss Of con- sciousness, called coma. If you are disturbed by your dreams or if you recall them wildly on waking, that indicates that your sleep was too shallow, or that something inter- fered with sound sleep.
 Many things prevent sound sleep, perhaps most of them trivial or un- necessary. Of the bodily ailments that disturb sleep oddly enough only a minority are diseases or de- engagements of the nervous system; 1; everyday physical ailments are the USUAL CduSe VI UOOL SiS~P' AA~AS ~e the first lesson for the insomno- phobe or for that matter the plain poor sleeper to learn--that sleep iessness is neither sign nor a cause of nervous or mental de- rangement. To be sure, insane per- sons are sometimes restless and have wakeful nights; but they often laugh and utter witticisms, too, and we don't fear that people are losing their mind when they do that.
 years seldom get more sleep than is good for them; many of them do not get enough sleep nights for the good of their health. growth and looks. People past thirty, especialr ly those who live sedentarily, com monly sleep too much for their own good. Instead of early to bed the elders of the household should be last to retire and first to rise in the morning. Instead of eight hours, middle age should be con- tent with six hours in bed.
 We must remember that the adage "carly to bed and early to rise" was invented in an age when everybody worked more or less. or at least walked to work. Both young and old people who do hon. est work, muscular work. or who

when the old hunger was too strong to be quieted he found him self thinking of her. He hoped with an. ache--that she was hap py.
 PablIto had sent more than one messenger to Key West to search for Moves but not one of them had found any trace Of him. A lame old woman lived in the shack on the island, he learned. She had broken her hip few years before, she told the inquireTs. and 1t left her so that she could move only q few steps. She lived alone. Her old neighbors, she said. helped her. No, she had never seen a thin-faced, stoop-shouldered man who wore eye glasses with heavy lenses. Neverl God could witness that as truth. Never had she seen such man!
 Pablito would have found her protestations a bit too hearty but those he sent were so eager to see what the next turn of the road might bring that they missed this important sign post. Pablito had offered 6 large reward for finding this man whose name they did not know but whose description they could have narrated in their sleep. Returning after the search each messenger pocketed his expense money and remuneration. eonclud- ing that the one he sought was dead.

 he had. Lottie and Beau were moi | the sort of companions with whom he could be content. Good women," he felt, were lost to him
 and life Of meaker joys spread ahead. He had become rather
 jaded, somewhat cynical young man.

 ness and sharp disgust. Pablito turned toward Havan one raw,

Her back hurt like hell!" she said. Then she tossed her head, sniffed and glowered at Pablito. Tt was liftin' you while you had that fever that done it," she went on. "I had to do everything for you. You just laid there like a log"
 Pablito had heard this before. He could silence her and turn her mood with a casual kiss he knew, but this morning he could not bring himself to offer such an olive branch. He said instead eglumly that she should have let him die.
 Hell, this Is merry party" Beau put in, looking at Lottie shrewdly. She was pretty smart kid, he felt, ylet she always stumbled in her too apparent and over-eager approach of Pablito. Or else she made a scene and Pablito hated them even more than Beau did.
 Pablito rose from his chair. He was going to Havana, he an- nounced. He didn't care what hap pened to the old idots who came to slap each other in the gym nasium and to fall into a trance after two minutes of sparring. He was fed up with the whole business and sick of it! Just as soon as he could he was going to get out of 1t!

 Along about this time of year, a girls complexion is apt to be drab and coiorless or, and this is even worse, it may take on yellowish or grayish tones that are far from fiattering.

the people who don 'tlike spinach had been unfortunate enough to try it first in its gritty state. There could be no worse introduction.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 27.-To an
already colorful list of personalities
in the Empire States campaign for
Governor and United States Senator
there was added tonight the name OF
Postmaster General James A. Farley,
majodomo of the Democratic party.
Farley, at Buffalo, entered a cam
paign studded by such figures as
Mrs. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, Alfred
E. Smith, Henry Breckenridge, legal
adviser to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
and E. Harold Cluett, collar manu-
facturer.
In his speech, Farley called for
Republican support of the Democratic
candidates, saying: THE war we have
waged against the unbearable condi-
tions brought about by the Hoover de-
preston, like the war waged for the
perpetuation of Democratic prin-
ciples throughout the world, has OBJ
liberated party lines"
Address by First Lady.
Mrs. Roosevelt, the first wife of
President ever to take part in State
campaign, rested over the week end
after speaking in behalf of Mrs.
Caroline O'Day Democratic nominee
for Representative at large. In her
speeches, Mrs. Roosevelt vigorously
defended the national administration
against attacks by Mrs. O'Day's op-
ponent. Miss Natalie F. Couch.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, whose
nomination in 1882 was backed by
President Roosevelt and Al Smith, Is
campaigning for reelection on two
main issues-the New Deal, and more
effective utility regulation.
On the ether hand, his Republican
opponent, Robert Moses, is conflning
his quest for the governorship largely
to State issues.
Tie present campaign was hardly
under way when Moses charged Post
master General Farley with using the
"spoils system" in distributing pat
ronage. Farley admitted having writ
ten the latter a request that Demo-
Gratis be given preference on park
development Jobs.
Tammany for Lehman
Tammany Hall, under the New
Deal" leadership CT John J. Dooling,
is actively supporting Lehman.
Moses, Mayor La Guardia's park
commissioner, has the mayors back
ing, while Aldermanic President Ber-
nard S. Deutsch, elected on the same
fusion ticket with La Guardia, is sup
porting Lehman.
In the senatorial race are DR.. Royal
