Black velvet gloves, three-inch

These dressy afternoon and early

SpectacleS should be shopped for
as carefully as any other item that
you have to wear day in and day
out. After all, 1t is as important to
get frames and bows which are be-
coming to your individual type OF
nose, forehead and profile as it is
to find hat that sets off your best
features.
Once your eye doctor has given
you prescription, go to a shop
which offers a wide variety OF
frames. Find a salesman who
will take time and trouble to
show you everything he has.
Comb your hair exactly as you
intend to wear 1t, then try on
many different types. Before you
know it. you'll discover one that
really does something meet o your
face and hairline. incidentally, be
sure to try each with and without
your new fall hat.
The majority of women who
have been wearing glasses for
any length of time agree that
brimmed hats are best for them.
However, a hat with brim that
dips too far downward over one
eye won't do. First, it hits the
edge of the frame in annoying
fashion. Then, too, it casts shadows
over one lens. Halo brims, pro-
viding your haircut isn't too severe,
usually are good. If a tricorne
strikes your fancy, be sure that the
front corner of it doesn't stick out
in a sharp point. Have the point
squared of to give broader effect.
Disregard your glasses when
you put on makeup. Rouge goes
on high and smoothly Just as
always. Apply more lipstick than
formerly. Keep your hair soft
about your face and ears.

Clothing and Cri
I know some people who dress SC
lightly in the fall, winter and
spring, that they seldom or never
get colds. BY dressing lightly they
prepare themselves for the colder
weather. (Mrs. D. s.

they keep comfortable where others
are overheated. They evidently dc
not believe one gets illness from
insufficient clothing; being more

disease (gonorrhea) medical writ

ance may cause a renewal and
spread of symptoms" Would you
say lowered resistance" renders a
person more susceptible to the dis
ease? Oh. To
Answer-No one knows what re
sistance" is. All we know is that
an individual may have a degree OF
immunity against specific infec-
tious disease. When a medical man
knows what he's talking about he
uses the term immunity. When he
doesn't know what he's talking
about, but has to fill in time or

he utters such hokum about "resis-

It Is thinking before you speak in

of saying that you heard that one

IT Is asking crooners to Groom and
young women who think they ought
to be on the stage to recite instead
of committing murder upon them. 1t
Is eating spinach and cream cheese
and looking pleasant instead Of throw

Of the hostess who serves them. It Is
saying really" instead Of you are

about old Mr.. Jones' rheumatism, and
begging Mrs. Ailing to tell you all
about her last operation.
It Is exclaiming: It'll say that Is q

BY ELSIE PIERCE.


T KNOW q man who keeps his au-
tomobile in ship-shape by sudden
spurts Of checking up. And I know
q woman who does all her buying in
spurts-sets aside a few days every
few months for shopping and does
very little shopping between times.
Several Hollywood stars do that, too,
a whole seasons shopping in single
session.
Well. 1t may work in other fields.
But so far as beauty upkeep is con-
cerned sudden spurts won't do the
trick. Fifteen minutes every day will
do much more for your beauty than
an entire day devoted to beauty once
a month.
Persistence and regularity should be
basic beauty rules. Recently I saw an
advertisement in several newspapers
and magazines. 1t read, "She never
| breaks this date" and went on to say
that she may break date with the
man of the moment, but keeps her
dates with the beauty salon religiously
because she has learned that half the
battle in keeping beauty is regularity.
would hardly call it battle. But
it is true that half the success OF
keeping young and lovely is regularity.
Make 10 minutes daily duty to beauty
and see if you don't achieve meas
ure Of success that more than COM
pensates for the little time spent.
1t doesn't matter whether you sham
poo your own hair or have it done in
beauty salon; or whether you relax
in luxurious comfort in a darkened
room and downy couch in a special
facial room while a skilled operator
molds the muscles and pats your skin
or whether you give your skin the
treatment yourself. Regularity is far
more important. OF course. the ideal
combination, If your purse permits, is
to have a salon treatment once every
week or so and follow it up with daily
care at home. This applies to skin.
hand, hair care and even to figure
molding You can exercise at home
to back up the efforts of q trained
masseuse or diet expert.
I am going to this great length in
Stressing regularity because I am so
completely convinced that it Is i'm
portant and productive. Recently 1
heard business executive talking to
his statesmen about the cumulative ef-
feet Of certain promotional efforts. He
said "the first time. you may not see
any results. Nor the second. But
after the third or fourth effort you
should have pronounced success. And
that success will not be the result Of
the fourth effort itself; but the cumu-
lative effect of all your work"
This cumulative effect applies just
as truly to beauty. And that's why

Luxurious Evening Wraps.

P).-Tweed, upholstery brocade and
black ermine are among the novel
materials used for the latest Winter
evening wraps.
Sleek broadcloths and metal-shot
moires are other fabrics favored in a
season which gives "a big hand" TO
wool for evening wear. Sables, minks
and fox are used to trim them.
Long coats are stressed more and
more. They are either designed to
mold the figure in graceful clinging
lines or are enormously full. the full
ness being set on in gathers at the
hip or in circular cut. extremely

the bottle. Usually no salt Is needed
with this.
A MOTHER dinner party fish, but
L one that is liked on almost any
occasion, Is the sweet, tasty little
srnelt. This Is now just coming into
season in the markets here and Is sure
to prove a welcome addition to the
diet. Smells are quick and easy to
prepare, which makes them adapted
to the kitchenette menu also.
FRIED SMELTS.
Clean the smelts, leaving on the
head and tail. (Two smelts per person
are not too many) Cut gashes in each
side and season well with salt, pepper
and little lemon juice. Dip IN milk,
roll in cracker meal and saute in but
ter until brown-about 10 minutes.
Serve Immediately, with tartare sauce.
Tartare Sauce-There are two
ways to make this. The first "quick
and easy" but not authentic. The
second "the real Mccoy" but bit
more elaborate. No. /: Use pre-
pared mayonnaise and add to it finely
chopped sour mixed pickles. One dill
pickle and a little chopped parsley
will do the trick if you don't happen
to have the mixed pickles on hand.
No. 2: Make your own mayonnaise.
Add to 1t some chives, chopped fine,
or one-half Glove garlic. one table
spoon minced parsley, one-half dill
pickle, chopped; few capers and
some chopped green olives. Mix well
and serve cold with the hot smelts.
Smells may also be fried in deep
fat, curled up with their tails caught
in their mouths. and served with tar
tare sauce. One of the best ways I
have found to make them an unusual
and dressy dish Is this one:
SMELLS VERONESE.
Clean the smelts. sprinkle them with
salt and pepper, roll in -four and saute
in olive oil until delicately Drowned.
Turn them often. Remove to hot
platter and just before serving sprin-
kle with thinly-sliced blanched al
oil Garnish with parsley and serve
with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.
\
A PERENNIAL favorite, especially
with the menfolk. Is swordfish.
which Is now available, but probably
will not be with US much longer. 1t
Is not expensive, and Is always deli
cious.
SWORDFISH STEAK.
(Broiled)
Wipe steaks as dry as possible and
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
lemon juice. Place in a well-greased
broiler (or grease the fish If you pre-
fer) and cook until done. turning
often. In removing the fish. loosen
first one side and then the other
gently, so that the fish does not cling
to the broiler. Place on q hot platter
and serve with parsley butter sauce.
This is made by creaming butter until
it is very soft with very fine, minced
parsley. Or carefully prepared
Bearnaise sauce Is good with broiled
swordfish steak for o more elaborate

= TUNING in its simplicity, this
princess model was designed for
the mature woman. Those long,
- gently sweeping lines do more
than slenderize; they give youthful
ness. The details show careful plan
ming. The collarless but high throat
line Is Q wise choice and makes for
easy sewing. Small buttons and seal
lops at the wrist are also important
to the mature woman. But the smart
est fashion note Is the contrasting
inset in the front of the dress. 1t
fastens to the front side seams and
casually gives the effect of coat
and-dress ensemble. Choose a neutral
shade for this inset and improve the
slenderizing effect Of the whole frock
