Paris Styles

Paris-There Is no doubt that vel
vet Is the most important material
this season. It has been seen for
hats, coats, dresses and hats al
the races outside Paris, at the
smart restaurants and cafes and al
the theaters.
There Is more variety In velvets
than ever before. There are SILK
velvets with a brilliant, satiny sheen,
there are heavy pre-war velveteens
that are stiff enough to stand alone,
there are uncrushable velvets, cord
uroy velvets and cut and shaved
velvets. Striped velvets Of five or six
different tones are used for evening
gowns In some houses, while the
palmer velvets are used for after
noon wear.
Black, as Is traditional in Paris,
is the outstanding shade and Tor
afternoon and evening wear Is COM
bined with silver fox or white er-
mine. Cocktail or tailored midnight
suits are likely to have luxurious
silver fox collars and cuffs, or are
often worn under large capes made
from as many as 20 different skins
Ermine Is used for tailored little
vestees or round Jokes on many al
ternoon and cocktail dresses. This
same luxurious fur Is used to make
entire capes or evening wraps that
are reversible so that either the
black velvet or the white ermine
can be worn outside.
Costly ermine is sometimes dyed
black and combined with velvet for
evening ear. The fur. hen dyed
black, attains q high luster but loses
its soft richness.

COUGH AND THE CIRCULATION

Chronic dry cough which comes

companies ghortnegs OF breath Ia o
prominent complaint In some cases
OF heart disease. This may be the
complaint which first brings the
heart trouble TO the attention Of the
physician. In such cases most
likely there In no "inurmur" or other
marked sign OF heart trouble ELECTED
by casual examination, but the dag
nosis may be made by finer analysis
OF the disturbed rhythm and other
evidence obtained by electrocardio-
graph. After oil we must remember
that the great vagus or pnetiinogas-
trio (tenth craniaD nerve supplies
both the heart and the lungs.
During O TT OF coughing the blood

A line apiece went round the

Here's another the family goe

It keeps every one alert. It
pits each ones wits against the
next fellows. And, although one
may coin words and inprovise,
as in "arrove" instead Of "ar-
rived" the invention must be
probable, and 1t must, by context,
prove its own meaning.
In the last line, the palm goes
TO the final inventor, because he
has to do the best he can to gather
the preceding lines into some SEM
blance of sense. The first person
to start the ball rolling has q snap,
because he or she can spout what
ever nonsense comes to hand. It
should be done quickly.
It all sounds complicated, but
Is actually easy and simple.
Such sensible nonsense Is .

Then took one, and so did he,
Then I took two, but he took

Then Mama came and stared

It was pretty good, her mention-

Working Out Pattern Of Words
I have no flair for rhyming. But
1t Is like working q pattern In

stupid, or merely fantastic, but at
least It is yours. Nothing Is so
satisfying to either child or man
or woman--as invention OF one

They will certainly enjoy their

WOMAN,S REALM
Double Duty Dinner Dresses Help When
MAKING A FORMAL APPEARANCE
BY MARIAN YOUNG


(NEA Service star Correspondent
NEW YORK.-Dinner suits
IN and dinner dresses have
made for themselves q most
important niche in the fash
ion world this season, COM
pletely apart from evening
clothes. Truly formal, sump-
tuous wraps and gowns are
seen at balls and important
functions such as opening
night at the National Horse
Show, but, for little dinners,
the theater and restaurant
dining, smart women here
now don the less decollete,
more conservative dinner en-
selnbles.
In other words, a formal
gown Is In order only when
your escort Is In tails and
tophat. When he wears a
dinner jacket or a dark bust
ness suit, you put on a din
i1er dress.
Removable Sleeves
II you can have only one formal
gown, O double-duty creation Is in
deed practical. One model, for in
stance, 10 Of suave black velvet and
has silver lame trimmed sleeves
which can be removed. Leave them
In for dinner parties. Take them
out for formal balls. This has O
slight train ct the back, twisted
belt and o slit down the back Of
the bodice.
Another double.dut model has
lines and draped sleeves that make
IL conservative. The elegant green
and gold matelasse metal cloth
fabric gives II O formal cir. Il has
O square neckline and O beautiful
gold beaded belt.
n you don't like hats with
dinner clothes, look at some Of the

ments. One attractive creation con-
sists OF three scarlet roses to be
pinned atop your curls. Over these
Ia O flaring, chin-length veil OF
sheer lace. Another includes q sill

lace veil.
Velvet with Lace
Lace and velvet are combined to
fashion many o handsome gown for
dinner parties and the theater.
OF sheer black lace with wide
hemline border, puff sleeves and Boz

the figure and swirls about your
ankles when you dance. It's quaint

yet not theatrical. II your face is
