Paris.-Two types of evening gowns figure today in woman's wardrobe-the informal cocktail or dinner ensemble, essentially practi- cal, necessarily simple, with trim- ming visible only when the coat or jacket is shed, and the formal evening gown, offering all the sumptuousness of fabric and in- tricacies of cut denied the former.
 Women attending glittering so- cial functions in luxurious sur- roundings have demanded clothes to harmonize with their surround ings. Hence a number of models in my mid-season collection achieve 8 degree of luxury new to the eye because abandoned for so many years.
 Garishness Avoided
 Luxuriousness, however, is never synonymous with garishness and glitter. The new formal evening dress derives splendor in the beauty of its fabric and intricacy of cut.
 Plain, conservative fabrics, such as crepe or chiffon, can provide all the formality desired if properly treated. I have used a dull crep'

 A third style, just as sumptuous but quite different, features wide, flowing skirt attached to a diminu- tive bodice. This is fashioned of a new taffeta, warp-printed, which imparts an entirely different surface, almost iridescent. Such 8 medium recessitates no establishment, and the winged rever effect on the bod ice is simply outlined in richly- colored velvet which also forms the two broad straps at the back that end in a butterfly bow.

One of the peculiarities of the average American is his sweet tooth And how that sweet tooth has grown!
 Back in 1925, the average Ameri- can used only IS pounds of sugar a year. The figure moved up to 4S raumds in 1850, to 60 pounds ir 1900, 115 pounds in 1925 and is back to 100 pounds today. But today's amount is still approximately more sugar than is eaten in any other nation in the world.
 There are many kinds of sugars of course. The commonest tromf come from cane,. corn, and beets although other substances, such as honey, syrups, and saccharins, are used to sweeter our foods.
 Twenty-Five years ago, corn sug- nr was not refined to its present state. As result, we began using beet sugar and cane sugar almost exclusively.
 Today it is difficult for anyone but an expert to tell the difference between cane and corn sugar. The U. s. food and drug administration requires that sweetening of packagcd foods. when brought about by any other substance than cane sugar must be indicated on the label. But it is no longer necessary to tell whether cane or corn sugar is used for sweetening.
 Psychologists in the field of nu- triton say that it is just as healthy 10 eat corn sugar as cane sugar. The most common sugar used in medicine is glucose. or dextrose. Its chief value lies in the fact that it is absorbed rapidly and it does not re- clzire special digestion.
 Tn fact, it is now prepared in such form that doctors may inject it in a weak solution under the skin in those parts of the body where the skin is loose.
 It may also be injected directly into the vein if the person requires the effects of sugar rapidly. This is particularly the case when he has had an overdose of insulin, when he 1s in a condition of shock, when his pancreas is sending too much insu- zin into his blood. or when surgical nnerations are to be performed on NhIIbIaddcr or liver.
 Eacclaarin, also used for sweeten- ing. Is a chemical product and docs not provide ca1ories, as does sugar.

Q.-I have some panellng in my den and every Winter the panels pull away from the frames and show an unstained edge. Can ! correct this?
 A.-Yes: when the panels have shrunk so that the white edges show stain them and finish them like the balance of the panel. It may be necessary to touch them up every Winter, as the swelling ii, the Summer may mar the finish. It sounds as though your house is too dry in Winter; have you e humid ifier? It would help.

Drain Pipes
 If by any chance you are closing your house for the Winter. be sure all the water is drawn out of the plumbing system and heating sys- tenn as well, if you have piped heat In well-laid-out plumbing and heating jobs there is faucet at the bottom of the system through which it may be drained. If yours does not happen to be that perfect have a plumber break" a joint and drain 1t. In certain types oi water-closet bowls just draining the visible water is not enough, fol there are hidden pockets that holo the water. Ask . plumber about yours and take no chances.
 Q.-What Is the best kind oi paint for inside woodwork?
 A.--That depends on what kinc of 8 finish you want. If you like high gloss finish, enamel is prob. ably the best and, if properly put on over the right kind of under coats, will last indefinitely. Flat. finish paints make a lovely effect but do not last as well under fre- quent cleaning.

The next was again a Thursday,
Feb. 10, 1875, a fast day called BY
President Washington. Three years

for a Wednesday, May 9.
President Madison was a consist

new TAXES TO
Be Held BACK,
SOLONS THINK
Supreme Court May
Strike Blow At
Plans By Killing
AAA Processing

WASHINGTON, Nov. a. -P}-
Some members Of congress believe
the administration may not ask for
new taxes next session even If the
supreme court declares the AAA's
processing levies invalid.
The administration indicated some
time ago it would seek new taxes to
finance farm benefits If AAA suf-
fered this body blow. Treasury ex-
perts will be prepared, II President
Roosevelt so orders, to suggest
several plans for raising $500, 600, 900.
This Is the sum estimated to be
needed to pay farmers under existing
production control contracts.
May Seek Other Means
But several senators said Wednes-
day they would be willing 70 wager
that a new tax bill would be avoided,
ut least until after the 1886 elections.
One Of those holding this belief is
Senator McNary Of Oregon. repub-
lican leader. Some democratic sena-
tors said they felt the same way as
McNary, but would not be quoted by
name.
Some believed the administration
might turn, temporarily at least, to
an export bounty or equalization fee
plan to tide owe the farm situation
until after elections. The bounty.
however. would require some federal
funds.
Both these plans were before con-
greSs in republican administrations,
advocated by western republicans.
Neither became law.
Under the export bounty system.
the treasury would issue debentures
on farm SURPRISES exported. The de-
bentures would aim to make up the
difference between domestic and
world prices. They would be nego-
table and could be sold TO importers
for use in paying duties.
Avenues Unpopular
The equalization fee principle was
contained in the old McNary-Haugen
bill which President Coolidge vetoed
twice. A fee would have been assessed
against farmers TO raise funds for q
program designed to maintain do
mestic crop prices at a level con
sidered desirable.
Experts at the capitol said there
we're only two ways left to raise a
half billion dollars through taxes
and both are unpopular even in non
presidential election years.
A general sales tax and heavier
levies on small incomes we're the
alternatives thew listed.
