Cavalry twill is the fabric that
now appears in topcoatS. It's
quite new to the fashion pic
ture, as it's been many years
since it was used for anything
except riding breeches. It's the
same material, however, and the
fact that it is used for habits
makes you feel quite sure that it
will give you excellent service,
and will always look well. The
Army wears it, and the fabric
you find in the topcoatS is the
same, or similar.
Single Breasted Best
Such fabric is smart in any
model. though it usually appears
in, single-breasted version, with
raglan sleeves. We have one pho
tographed on this page today,
with notched lapel, though it is
just as smart with the rather
Wide-peaked lapelS that We have
borrowed from the English. You
can see from the picture how
smart it looks, how well the fab
ric drapeS, and it will hold its
shape beautifully.
Another item that is in good
fashion favor is the slotted col
lar on shirts. That means that
the collar has a slotted tape on
the under side, through which
the tie can be inserted. The COM
bination of the tie being held
down by the tape, and the col
lar being Stiffened by celluloid
stay, makes the collar stay in
place accurately, and look very
neat.
New Type Collar
This collar appears mostly in
semi-cutaway or Kent collar,
and it gets it's name from the
tape. It is expected to succeed to
the tab collar eventually, and
youu hear a lot about it this sea-
son. We will try to have picture
Of it soon.
Another news item is foulard
ties, lovely to look at, and in the
best fashion favor. In fact mems
neckwear for spring has been de
scribed as "foulard, more foulard
and more foulard." This fabric
used to be considered only for
summer, but this year it's going
to be seen in the spring too. Shell
patterns are favorites, and will be
seen in many shapes and coloringS,
particularly the Madder foulard
shades. Well have a picture of
them soon. too.

cause 1 had an old mother and a
couple of sisters to look after. My
mother is now dead, and my sisters
have married, so I'm free and for
my class, fairly well to do.
II had a chum I thought the
world Of. We were in the same
grade at school, went fishing,
played hockey and got licked. all
for the same deviIment. He mar
ried when he was FL. 1 never really
liked his wife. She always seemed
a self-Seeker to me.
"Then my pal died, and natur-
ally offered to help his wife out
with the funeral expenses and
outstanding bills. He never was

low. 1 like his three kids. One Of
them is named after me. But I
sort of fear his wife.
"NOw she has told me she can't
make two ends meet and she
wants me to 90 to her house as a
bOarder, but I'm afraid to do this,
because 1 know she means to

"I'd do most anything for my
dead friend or his kids, but I'm
downright afraid Of his wife.
There's something aDout her that

reservations about the widow Of

You might tell this widow lady
that you would be glad to con-
tribute a little each month to
your namesake, but I think it
would be wiser to do this through
some lawyer, so that it will show
that the gift is impersonal, and
that it is not intended to be in
definite. Make it a month to
month arrangement.
From what you tell me of this
lady. all of which 1 have not
printed, she probably will not re-
main a widow very long.

Jane started taking our plates
and said:
"Any preference as to which
comes first?"
We laughed and Marie said that
it should be left to the discretion
of the cook. So desserts were
brought in in pairs and flavors
were balanced against each other
and when in doubt a second sam
pie was presented. Jane insisted
that Mary used this privilege only
as a ruse to have more dessert.
If you have had six desserts you
will appreciate how really full we
were. They were delicious. Con-
verSation ran something like this:

When a certain brllllant Eng
ishman, who has written more
books on more subjects perhaps
than any other living author. said
these things about United States
sirens year ago, they felt justly
peeved.
But now comes a French por-
trait painter-a woman, at that
one as familiar with the colors
dispensed at beauty parlors as
those on her own palette, and she
thinks American girls are-shall
we say-too monotonouS in ef-
feet.
TYPES"
The painter is Madame Mari
cite Lydis, professionally; at
home she is Countess Gavone.
The excellence of her art is
recognized in Europe-her work
hangs in the Luxembourg. She
does not suggest a playing card.
Individuality, chic, personality
is in every line Of her ensemble,
from the hat which suits her type
admirably, to the way her eyes
crinkle with mischief when she
throws such a hand grenade, as
they're pretty, but a shrug
finishes the indictment.
Makeup? If the Countess goes
in for it. it is applied so well and
sparingly that it doesn't hit you
in the eye. She thinks American
girls are too standardized.
And here's where her comments
will draw down the wrath of the
prairies, as we'll as Park Avenue!
Americans are the prettiest
women in the world. But really,
is there anything above those
well-arched eyebrOwS?"
Too, too much alike"
The mink coats wandering
rather aimlessly through Madam
Lydis' one-woman show in New
York, one day last week, pricked
up their shen-like ears to listen.
Perhaps there was something in
what this successful painter had
to say.
Every eyebrow of the mink
coated ladies follows the same
curve. Every hat was blocked on
the same model and worn at the
same angle. One could almost
hear the Saleswoman say:
This shape is much in de-
mand this season."
SWeetly pretty as box Of bon
bons are these girls, but do let's
have an olive. or even a salted
peanut. for a change.
Important
The American girls lack of in
telligence, according to European
critics who have given us the once
over, seems to be that good points
are sacrificed to passing fashions,
while the type is disregarded. If
g. certain thing is worn American
women wear it, whether it's be-
coming or not.
A year or so ago back, all the
apple-cheeked girls we're reaching
for those little brimless hats that

How to Avoid
Double Chin
By DONNA GRACE

The faStidious girl will always
keep her skin clean and give it
the smooth, refining massage
treatment it needs.
She has a nice sense of neat
ness and pride in her appearance
that will always assure q lovely
skin, and that should be enough;
but there is something else that
even the careful girl will need to
HSz.41d.
1t is the attention to the chin
line and neck. We hardly think
Of heavy chins and thick necks
associated with youth, and few
persons are so afflicted, but we
must be careful to avoid any ten
dency to such things.
These numerous chins and
heavy necks have a way Of ap-
pearing from nowhere and even
before we are aware of them.
There they are, all nicely billowed
right under our very nose! And
woe is uS
If they came on overnight there
might be some comfort in shift
ing the blame on something or
other, but we know very well the
whole responsibility Is ours.
We thought exercises were a lot
of bother and it was nice to sleep
late and take a few delightful
sieStaS every day; and, besides
that, we like to crafty every lit
tie whim Of a too-healthy appetite.
All this indulgence sounds so
harmless and agreeable, but the
price we pay is far too high for
the moments satisfaction we re-
ceive.
Neck and chin tissues have no
restraint and can easily become
unshapely, so the very best way
to control them is with firming
treatments.
We must keep the muscles ac-
tive, and stick to a light diet.
Then the tissues should be nodded
with massage and packs.

firm and slender. The facial
massage is necessary to refine the

DESSERT LUNCHEON
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
what is a dessert luncheon?

u.
When a hostess invites her
guests to come to dessert and
coffee" after luncheon this is
sometimes referred to as a "des-
Sert luncheon" And I think that
this increasingly popular way of
entertaining is quite delightful.
Often, guests are invited to "des-
sert and coffee" after dinner. It's
a sensible custom for many occa-
SionS.
For instance, if a hostess and
host do not feel that they can af-
ford to give a dinner, but still
would like to have some friends
come in for bridge or some other
form of entertainment, it is pleas
ant to have the guests come for a
delicious dessert accompanied or
followed by coffee.
