New Lingerie
COIOrfuI

PARIS. - Lingerie and desha.
billes are strongly influenced by
the tendencies in dress styles
and materials, resulting in such
treatments as plisses, shirringS.
Smock and honeycomb effects.
Dull fabrics, messy albene
crepes and delicate rayon sheers
in mat transparent qualities
share honors with bright crepe
satinS. Rayon jersey is now used
not only for simple models and
travelling night dresses, but Is
sponsored by leading designers
for very elaborate lingerieS. Peri
Wrinkle and turquoise blue are
high fashion among the colorS,
while pale pink and salmon pink
still remain in favor. Tones Of
maize, champagne and canary
yellow are seen also, as well as
delicate tones of mauve, which
are especially requested by dis
eliminating women to wear with
dresses in the new shades of
purple, Bishop or Parma violet.
Ochre lace continues in favor
with all the smart lingerie de-
signers. Cadolle disposes it in
large Jokes, Krivitsky employs it
for sleeves and parts Of the
bodice of elaborate night dresses,
and Hitrovo uses this lace in
tiny superimpoSed volants for the
trimming Of lingerie parureS.

LOVelOrm

Washington Times

Written Ercl. .SiUeIy for The
Washington Times
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1.-TWO years ago I became en-
gagged to a girl in the same Of
flee in the Government. We
were making a combined salary
of $3.50 a month. Our ambi-
ton was a little home in the
suburbs, and we wanted a gar
den, too.
"T've managed to save over .
thousand dollars since we became
engaged, which was to be the
dOwn-payment on our bungalow,
and lust took it for granted that
she, too, was saving toward our
home.
"She finally confessed that she
had saved nothing, and was still
in debt for clothes that she had
purchased early In the winter.
81 really love this girl, but ]
wonder if she would make the
right kind Of a wife-One who
could hold on to her money, or
will she be extravagant and
waSteful?
"WOuld you please give me your
opinion Of this affair.
JERRY"
I can well see your point Of
view, and it does look as If your
prospects of happiness are not
favorable, with a girl who is ex'
travagant and waSteful. Complete
honesty before marriage is the
best insurance of happiness.
But we do such foolish things,
the crazy chances with our hap
piness and the well-being Of
others-and deep down in our
hearts we cannot supply sen.
sible reason for our conduct.
In a case similar to yours, the
girl had been supporting a pow
erty-stricken family, and when
the time camel her wedding.
she had nothing. However, in
your case, it looks as if the girl
has been extremely good to her.
self.
But as you love her and will
be miserable over breaking with
her, l would not do that till
had talked the entire matter over
with her. She may turn out to be
thrifty wife.

DEASANT linen is going like
L hot cakes" right out of one Of
Washington'S leading mems shops.
It Is a coarse weave cloth that
looks more like mixture of linen
and cotton, has the GOODNESS Of
linen, but has the crush-resistancy
Of cotton. It is quite meshy and
open, and comes in a good natu-
raj linen color. Stacks of this
cloth are extremely popular, and
you can get shorts, which men
are buying for tennis and golf
and shirts too. The shirts are
either in plain natural color, or
have colored overplaids. The
plaided shirt sketched is of peas
ant linen, and the shirt with it
is new, too, with cord-laced col
lar. It is of a meshy knitted ma

slant and incOrrigible philanderer.
I've always been q good sport

I've kept the home together

I like to get letter like yours,

You are tired Of forgiving, and
he is the born philanderer who

that you may be willing to take
him back, not for the one more
chance of which he never availS

miss him from old associations?
So many women have written to

new GLlS1duA WdS AOA NAdAASI
for, as Ruth Elizabeth Davis, she
was born in Lowell, Mass, on
April 5, 1908.
When she reached school age,
friends at Newton High and CuSh-
ing Academy preferred to use the
odd abbreviation Of Elizabeth, also
chosen by tiny Princess Bette of
England, who found the name too
long for her baby tongue.
She played in the dramatic
clubs, taking UP dancing in the
meantime. So, when Frank Con-
roy first saw her, he added her
name to his list Of discoveries, and
persuaded her mother to bring
her, posthaste to New York. She
enrolled in John Anderson
School of Drama, and played with
a few Summer stock companies
for a beginning.
Recognition
In her first New York play,
THE Earth Between" by Virgil
Geddes, she played the role of
"Floy Jennings" and received her
first flattering notices from
Broadway critics. Then came a
successful season in IbSen roper
toire with Blanche Yurka, when
she was cast as "Hedwig" in the
wild Duck" winning high praise
for her work.
OF course she went to Holly
wood when her chance came, but
found the usual amount of dis
couragement until she decided to
become platinum blonde.
Always generous, Miss Davis
extends a lovely gesture of credit
to beauty culturiSts, by declaring
that she owes her success on the
screen to this decision.
Soft, silver locks become her,
worn with a distinguished flair.
She was among the first to adopt
this world-famous transformation.
Her miraculous thinness is hers
by nature. She keeps fit by ex-
ercises that come natural to her.
She is an eXpert swimmer, and
is said to be the only woman who
ever qualified as a life-guard at
the fashionable Ogunquit beach.
She delights in horseback riding
and golf.
She is 5 feet 31a inches tall,
weighs 100 pounds and her eyes
are cerulean blue. They are I'M
usual eyes, and one Of her most ef-
fective features.
She has learned technique in
using them that few stars can
equal and one that is haunting as a
melody.
Her makeup is delicate and eff
fective. She is always beautifully
groomed, and her finely-textured
skin shows the result of expert
care.
She has no special diet, but loves
vegetables, especially mashed po-
tatoes, having won the name of
"Spuds" for this preference at
school. She is most fond Of let
tuce salad, with sharp dressing
in which garlic, pearl onions, cider
and spices predominant, and she is
devoted to Melba toast.

NOTHING IS lovelier, or
smarter, for summer eve
nings than chiffon. And
here is one of the best
gowns we We seen. It comes
in the most exquisite CON-
binations of color, such as
lemon and chartreuse, violet
and pale pink, and SO on.
The skirt slit up the front
to show the foundation is
ultra new, as is the high
neckline. The gown may
button up high in the back,
making it into a dinner
gown, but for formality,
you can let it be open quite
low. It's in a medium price
range, which is just another
inducement to including it
in your late spring and
summer wardrobe. For the

it, call District 1000, extern
sion $50 during business

Fresh vegetables can be kept
quite crisp and fresh in the refrlg-
orator If stored in a food crisper
or an incloSed glass container.
Vegetables grown close to the
ground are apt to carry organisms
from the soil so they should be
thoroughly washed first.
A built-in thermometer will give
visible proof that the temperature
is low enough to prevent any food
spoilage.
Refrigerator dishes are a great
aid in preserving leftovers. Select
small dishes for this purpose
rather than one large one.
Fermentation is apt to take
place in fruit juices stored in the
refrigerator unless the tempera'
ture is kept below so degrees. Fer.
mentation, as you know, is caused
by yeasts. They are only active
in foods that contain both sugar
and water.
ReaSsuring
It Is also reaSsuring to know
that bacteria which multiply so
rapidly in food at room tempera-
ture are checked when the tenn
perature is kept between 40 and
so degrees.
The uses of an electic refriger-
ator are endless. Ordinary ice
cubes are indispensable but they
can also be made interesting.
Gingerale or fruit juices can be
used in place of water. Part OF
the beverage can be frozen with
or without a sprig Of mint. This
will prevent any thinning" OF
the beverage as the cubes melt.
The freezing unit can also be
used in making a variety OF
frozen desserts and salads. The
ice creams that are made in the
freezing unit can be stored safely
for several days before using.
