Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Paris (UP)-Jeanne Lanvin has a knack of combining sophistication and girlishness which can be equal led by no other couturier.
 In her most recent collection she shows an evening gown in black tulle which is both youthful and so- phisticated. The skirt is extremely full, increasing in fullness from a slim waist to the floor, where 1t falls in folds. The bodice is cut to a deep V decoletage both back and front and is edged with a very full ruff of tulle. A fine piping of silver doe skin edges the full hem of the skirt, outlines the simple straight belt and forms a piping for the loops and folds of the full neck ruff.
 Another gown from this house, more summery than the black tulle, is in crisp white organdy which Is printed in black squares. h this case, the material is sophis- t.cated but the gown is fashioned in a youthful style. The neck dec ollette is cut square and is edged by wide square bertha. The skirt is full, swishing out gracefully at the ankles and the slender waist is banded in sash of green ribbon which Is tied into larger bow at the back with fluttering streamers reaching almost to the ground.
 Lanvin is lavish in her use of sil- yer and gold piping this year. Like wise she trims formal gowns with intricate beading in gold and pearls.

 LAGs IN SPRING
By Olive Roberts Barton

CHALUkEN'S EEF
 LAGs IN SPRING
 Seasonal Adjustment Difficult
 Spring may be a favorite season for poets but it is a hard time for children. True, there is warm and gentle feeling that begins to preme- ate their blood-a wanderlust that seizes their minds though their legs are too tired to do anything about 1t. They spend energy freely in mar bles, jumping rope, and baseball. Then suddenly they are tired. Too tired to hurry when you need a box of baking powder from the store for luncheon biscuits.
 Do not scold them. The children aren't being lazy when they mean der. Spring has them in her tolls and they can't speed up.
 Once upon a time our grand mothers suggested sulphur and molasses, sassafras, and sarsaparil- Ia for thinning" the blood. Maybe 1t helped but 1t nevr stopped any boy from dreaming about the cool green water in the creek at the edge of the town, or the tall trees in the woods to the south, where he could climb and sit and think. The old remedies never made any child study any harder.
 Thoughts Are Far Afield
 In the spring small boy or girls fancy plays truancy though he sits at his desk, geography in font of him, watching the pink and blue and green spots on the map and thinking of utterly foreign territory.
 Mothers are concerned wit house. cleaning on the warm days of April. Children and fathers souls alike are harried by ladders, bare floors, boiled dinners, carpets to beat, lawns to clean, old leaves to burn, and an endless procession of er- rands to run. Johnnie and Mary, accustomed to finding @ savory lunch waiting for them at noon, quite likely will be told to make their own sandwiches from the ham and cheese that are still wrapped in the grocery paper, and to open the milk that the milkman left an hour ago.
 Yes, spring is hard on children. Their minds and routine of their living are upset at the same time.

Nuts are so highly concentrated ! food, and 50 rich in protein and fat, that they should be eaten as 8 regular part of meal, and not to any great extent at the end of a meal, which already has been sufficient in both proteins and fats. Neither should nuts be eaten in large quantities between courses, or to add interest to an afternoon tea party.
 Nuts are valuable in the diet primarily for the same food values that you find in meats. Chestnuts are starchy. Cocoanuts, oceans and walnuts are rich in fat! almonds, Brazil nuts, butternuts, and peanuts are rich in both protein and fat.
 The protein of nuts contains much the same amino acids as are found in meats. The proteins Of Brazil nuts are shown to be ample for the requirements of the normal human body. Peanut protein has been reported to be more efficient than that of the soybean, in sup port of body growth.
 Investigators tested peanut flour with the protein of muscle meat, supplementing the diet with but terfat and salts, and found that peanut flour proved slightly supe- rior to meat as a growth producer. and much superior for promoting reproduction.
 Nuts in general are rich source of phosphorus, and good source of iron, copper and manganese. They are a poor or fair source Of calcium. Nuts also are especially valuable for their content of vita mins B and A.
 Vegetarians are likely to encour- age the use of nuts in the diet as a substitute for meat. From the point of view of economy, they may be particularly recommended.
 The ease of digestibility of nuts depends on the thoroughness with which they are chewed and. of course, on the amount that is eaten at one time. This is con- trary to the common opinion that nuts are hard to digest. This bee lief arose from the fact that nuts have high fat content. but, more particularly, because they are in- correctly used In the diet.
 Half an ounce of any of the com mon nuts will yield 100 calories. This means two Brazil nuts. a half- dozen oceans, or 6 dozen peanuts. The only notable exception to this concentration of energy value is tho chestnut. which Is about One- thSd as concentrated as the others

BEAUTY
-BEAUTY--- Gl0riHing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service StaR Writer Two or three special occasion cos- metics that you wear only on days when you want to be particularly alluring are to your beauty what white doeskin gloves and hat with a veil are to a costume with which you generally wear black gloves and a plain felt hat.
 Just as dressy accessories turn your workaday tailleur into a tea time special, cosmetics you ordin- arily omit will make simple dinner seem like a party.
 For instance, if you never have time to apply mascara before you start out in the morning, keep some on hand anyway. Use 1t at night even when you are having a simple dinner at home.
 When you go out of town for a weekend use a brighter nail pol- ish than you generally wear. You may not believe 1t, but a change in nail lacquer often has the same psychological effect as @ new piece of jewelry or Q new hat.
 Bath oil, especially if you are a shower addict, is @ special occasion preparation, too. Save it for nights when you have time to take a bath in the tub. Relax completely, en- joy the fragrant water and see how much better you'll feel afterward.
 Don't pooh pooh the importance of owning jar of commercially prepared mask. You may get along perfectly well with oatmeal. egg and sour milk facials. but. now and then, 1t will do your mental attitude as well as your complexion worlds oi good to smear on Q ready-made sweet scented one.
