\ Paris Turns Thumbs Down On Being Dressed Up
Most Elegantly Attired Women Favor
 Simple TailleurS, Moderate Sized Hats

NEA Service Stan Correspondent.
 By ROSETTE HARGROVE DAR1S-The srnartest func- \ tions of the seasons, gar- den-parties, racing, "concours d'elegance" and so on, pro- vided conclusive evidence that good dressing is decidedly not the same thing as dressing up. The most elegantly turn ed out women wore tailored things, suits or dresses, req sonably-sized hats and ade- quate shoes, leaving the lesser mannequins to trail around in too fluffy and befrilled gowns, uncomfortably high heels and all the extravaganza imagin- able in the way of umbrella hats.
 Slim tailleurs in cool-looking silks, shantung, figured taffetas and linen in cool grays, gaily- colored designs and natural creams were favored by some of the rec ognized best dressers of the cap- ital.
 The printed redingote coat over n dress of the same print or in a monotone matching the back ground, launched by Mainbocher and Maggy Rouff, was seen quite frequently, as was the long, tail- ored coat of fancy pique created for the Grande Semaine by Le- long.
 Print Jackets With Black
 Sheer black frocks topped by multieolored printed jackets, with the black hat trimmed with a posy Of the prints flowers or a crown of the fabric, looked gay and smart. There were quite a few black and navy chiffon dresses, slimly tailored like any crepe.
 Pales blue and amber yellow have become the seasons prevail as fashionable. All three are worn WlIH udFk dCCeSSOrleS-naVy Dluc and chestnut brown with the pale blue, dark brown with amber and all three with white. All-black or all-white ensembles showed some touch of color provided by huge posies of artificial or real flowers.
 For luncheon in the Bois de Boulogne or the select restaurants in town, the tailored mode also seems greatly favored. You see A number of Creed's natural shan tung suits, in the heavy quality used for mems suitings, with bro- caded or embroidered vest blouses in rust red or royal blue.
 Lunching at the Crillon the other day was smart American in an all-white linen suit with ab- breviated Eton jacket, a white up turned felt and scarlet silk scarf tucked into the neckline.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT OUR IMPERVIOUS HIDE

It would mean more to us dumb readers, says one of 'em, if you would actually experiment., instead of challenging those who believe poisons penetrate the skin to try to poison you that way. So many poli- ticians challenge" their opponents that l am afraid many of your readers when they read your words see in them nothing but the same hollow pretense. How much more convincing it would be if you could say T made this experiment under these conditions and Doctors So and So examined me afterward and pronounced the experiment suc- cess" It seems a shame to lay yourself open to jibes when you are doing such a fine job of debunking meretricious health appeal.
 (J. E.)
 How I would go for that experi- ment if Doctors So and So could be depended on to pronounce it suc- cess. But I fear they would pro- nounce me liar. No, there is only one way the controversy will ever be settled, and that is by properly controlled experiment or test made upon the skin of normal subject by committee of physicians, per- haps a chemist or two. I am not challenging anybody. I merely off, fer my hide for such an experiment whenever or wherever such an un- biased committee desires to put the question to actual test.
 A few years ago some one did carry out an experiment on his own skin, applying arsenic, which failed to poison him. How little effect this had is indicated by the fact than even I, with my great interest in the question, cannot recall the name o fthe man-I vaguely re- member that he was a chemist, perhaps professor of chemistry somewhere.
 It would be ridiculous for any one to do such experiments and then afterward ask physicians to certify that there is no sign of poisoningfi or i'll effect. If such a test is to be convincing 1t must be carried out from first to last under strict control of scientific observers.
 The only element of challenge so far as I am concerned. is that we must agree that the results of the experiment or test shall be ac- cepted by all and published freely. If the experiment proves that the medicine, chemical or other sub stance is absorbed through the skin fno matter whether it is poi

Its nice of you to call me your favorite patient when my awk- wardness in a sail boat caused you a trip down from the city,
 That trip down from the city Is the reason you're already my favorite patient. Marsh won't let me go until I pronounce you on the mend-and I like this place so much that I'm likely to keep you in bed for long time!" He laughed hugely and felt for Jos pulse. Hmm z. Any pain today?"
 No, doctor. feel as if I could get right up and be my normal self"
 He shook his head in mock dis appointment. Looks as if. I'll have to take the plane back this after noon. But, mind You, don't want you walking around until the end of the week."

 Seavers looked at Jo. T doubt If you can keep 'em away much longer, nurse. Especially if they're men," He reached over and patted Jos arm. Well, young lady 1. . it's been a pleasure you can call on me any time, and no charge. These two days down here have made a new man of mel"
 That's kind of you doctor. But of course I'll expect your bill for this time."
 You may expect it, Miss Darien but you won't get 1t. I've been instructed to send the bill to Douglas Marsh" He bowed low to patient and nurse. "Goodby."
 He went out with nurse, giving her Instructions in a clipped pro- fessional tone that was wholly un- like his bedside manner" Jo had liked him instantly, and she fell to wondering how much his services had cost. She mustn't let Marsh pay for them, of course-and she saw at least a months pay dwind- ling. for obviously this Doctor Seacers was a high-priced physi- clan.
 Just then she heard Marsh's voice in the hallway, asking Seav-

CTS about her-and the doctor s reply coming clearly and jovially, Shell be fit as a fiddle in a few days. Whats that confounded song they sing? Fit as fiddle and ready for love!'" The little mans ringing laugh faded down the hall- way, and Jos face colored.
 A moment later Marsh came in, his eyes filled with concern. You have given me a bad two days, Jo. But Doctor Seavers says you're all right now"
 q heard him advising you of that fact" smiled Jo.
 Marsh laughed embarrassedly. Seavers is quite a doctor. I believe he thoroughly enjoyed coming down here"
 But I can't let you pay for all this, of course"
 Marsh waved his hand. "Non- sense! You were injured in the lines of duty, as it were. Let's not think about 1t, Jo. The main thing is that you're all right. It could have been darned serious" He looked at her, seemed relieved to find she was actually recovering so quickly. "Babs was feeling pretty badly"
 "She mustn't" Jo said. Lit was quite accidental, of course. She didn't see the sloop until she was almost on it, and the speedboat didn't respond to the rudder."
 Please tell her I'm awfully glad she wasn't hurt"
 Marsh nodded. T certainly shall. She'll be in to see you soon, im- agine. Naturally she's a bit upset, although she wasn't injured" He some breakfast. imagine you're hungry after almost two days of only liquids"
 Jo nodded. I'm famished," she admitted. But I'm glad you came as soon as Doctor Seavers would let you."
 He took up her hand from the cover, held it in both his own Wouldn't you expect that I would, Jo?"
 When he had gone Miss Conley brought in breakfast tray on which were toast and coffee and a boiled egg. Jo made short work of the food and could have repeated the performance if the nurse had agreed. Miss Conley was just talk ing away the tray when a knock at the door interrupted her. It was Fragonet.
 l T understand I can see Miss Darien now" he said.
 Miss Conley nodded. "Yes think you may go right in. I'm taking her breakfast tray down. stairs.'
 Fragonet walked through the room, paused at the door of Jos bedrom and knocked tentatively on the already open door.
 Come in," Jo told him. twill you agree with me now that I'm a rotten sailor?"

GLORIFyING

The woman who takes pride in a coat of tan and is happiest when her skin becomes golden brown ought to wear colors that enhance her darkened skin.
 There's not much sense in spend ing hours and using endless prepa- rations to get an even coat of tan if you insist on wearing purple or black-colors that tend to make your skin look pale and white. Fur thermoe, the right shades can make the girl who has had time to acquire only a light tan look browner than she is.
 Shades of pink, including rose. coral and dusty as we'll as clear tones, bring out shiny, fiattering brown lights. Certain blues, par ticuiarly greenish ones and hard. vivid shades, heighten the sufi- tanned effect you are trying to create.
 Greens are good providing they are rather light. White, of course. is the best of all. Nothing is more becoming to tanned skin than white sports. daytime and evening frocks. Purple won't do a thing for you and neither will black or very dark brown. Beige. lighter brown and lilac. however. are quite nice.
 Sunshine addicts ought to strive for even coats of tan with no light spots and streaks. If you wear a halter top on the beach. unfasten the ties across the back of your neck to prevent Q white space just below your hairline. Shoulder straps on bathing suits ought to be moved up and down occasionally. Don't wear a wide bracelet or Wriatwafch.

sonous or not), we agree that the controversy is finally settled and the side in the wrong must there- after cease and desist from propa- gating false notions. That's fair enough to both sides, and surely best for public welfare.
 Several wiseacres have chal- lenged me to soak my feet in a hot boric acid solution first hav- ing a test to show no boric acid or borate in the urine, and after half an hour, more or less, of the hot foot bath, another test which is sure to show boric acid or be- rate in the urine, they suggest. But they do not specify how I am to control the experiment so as to exclude the chance of inhaling the steam or vapor of the borax or boric acid solution while am parboiling my dogs.

Paris (UP)-The most impor- tant of the French races, the run ming of the Grand Prix de Paris, attracted one of the smartest crowds, the costumes of the wo- men were more interesting and colorful than usual.
 The eastern influence was appar- ent. Mingled with Indian women in their gaily colored saris were smart Parisiennes whose outfits showed decided Oriental influence. Almost all gowns were draped, particularly at the sleeve and neck, and often at the skirt. The Man darin hat, the crown rising to a peak, was noted as well as the Chinese sleeve-one seen on a tunic of richly embroidered silk

This fashion, by the way, was very popular at the recent competition held at the Ambassa- deurs restaurant for "the most elegant woman and her. dog" Most of the women who owned, Scotties or Dalmatians adopted it as form ing the most elegant accompani- ment to their dog.

'Whose outboard was that?" asked Terry's mother as the fif- teen-year-old lad stumped up the cottage steps demanding his din- rer.
 We haven't any motors on this beach," she added. Tt must be a visitor"
 Don't tell, nom, will you? But I borrowed one from MT. Pat tons boathouse on the bay. He wasn't home and I couldn't ask. I won't hurt it."
 "Why, Terry! That's stealing. You must take it right back"
 'It isn't stealing if you just borrow. It's only stealing if you intend to keep it. You see, knew I couldn't row to the bar and back in time for lunch and Bob said the perch were thick out there. It only takes a minute with the motor"
 But it takes time to fish. I see you didn't get any"
 we'll didn't fish, yet. I'm going right after dinner. I'll only be gone a few minutes and then I'll take back the outboard as good as new. Gee, it's heavy. had to get old Beachy to help. Gave him dime for-well, I guess he'll buy a drink, but he said he'd get a sandwich. I hope he disappears until get that din- gus back. Come on-where's the eats?"
 Easily Alarmed
 But Terry looked worried as he ate. Once there was the clip, clip of a craft in the distance and the boy scanned the lake with alarm. What if MT. Patton had returned, missed his motor from the boat house and had taken his fast lit- tie cruiser to hunt the thief? But it was something else. and Terry sat down to finish his pie.
 'T'll be going now" He got his box of hooks and his can of worms. Outside he stopped to call "Mom, it looks like a storm. What do you thing?"
 Maybe" she replied cryptical- ly, as she cleared up the dishes. But usually you don't worry about storms, Terry"
 "I know. But if it gets rough 1t might break the motor, or clog 1t with sand so it won't go. I might get stuck on the bar, too. You see, I have to get that mo- tor back in good shape and P. D. O., too"
 "Come here a minute, will your"
 II can't nom. I gotta hurry" But he came.
 Four Worries
 "Son," said his mother. Think a minute. You have four worries on your mind. First that your &C., cessory in crime will tell. Second, that something may happen to the the loot. Third, that you may have to lie out of it. Fourth, that you aren't doing a very hon. orable thing.
 Weigh that against a few poor fish that will taste far better if caught honestly. Weigh it against your reputation as a square dealer and Mir. Patton's friendship. He IulSHb HUI QO AiAy tAaAA6 AA hC oAA find out. but you would drop your eyes every time you met him. You might think 1t just prank, but I don't think so. Every word you've said shows that you know it's serious. Borrowing without permission is stealing, after all."
 Terry looked over the lake. The clouds had scattered and the water waved to him to come. He put down his bait and tackle and start ed for the small dock.
 "I'll take it back" he said. And I'll wait until MT. Patton comes home and tell him the whole business" He started to whistle as he went.
 'Bless him." fnurmured his mother.

MANY GIVE SHOWERS
FOR BRIDE TO BE

Many showers have been given dur
Gilchrist whose marriage to Mr. Paul
Curtis is announced for the holiday
season. The first one was given by
Mrs. w. N. Curtis at her home last
Thursday night, the evening being de-
voted to bridge. Prizes were won by
Miss Ruby Thompson for high score,
by Miss Gladys Jackson for second
high score and by Miss Laura Riley
for low score. Following the games,
the guest of honor was showered with
many lovely gifts. Refreshments were
served.
Another pleasing affair was tina. of
last Sunday evening, when Mrs. M. R,
Karnes and a number of those staying
at the Karnes home joined in shower
ing Miss Gilchrist The affair was
from to o'clock in the afternoon
when lunch was served to 36 guests
and during which time the shower gifts
were presented to Miss Gilchrist by a
most unusual method. Numerous
alarm clocks were placed about the
Karnes home and set to go off at close
intervals. At each hidden clock there
were placed several gifts. 1t became
the honor guests duty to locate each
alarm as it sounded and thereby find
her gifts. Needless to say she was
kept busy for some time Fastening
from one. part of the house to another.
