New PRINCES

PARIS-Fringes are much en-
phasized this season. especially in
dull albene qualities. They are
used not only as a. trimming but
sometimes constitute an impor-
tant part of the dress such as
whole sleeves, tunicS, or entire
capes. Special houses for novel
ties and trimmings, like Courtier
SoeurS, show very new uses OF
fringes-on the neck line, for in
stance, and sometimes at the
shoulder of a dress, where they
are dovetailed into the dress
fabric. Another use which is
strongly sponsored in the Haute
Couture is for whole sleeves, the
fringes falling from the shoulder
or above the elbow and gathered
around the wrist in a cuff effect,
so that the arm shows through.
Jean Patou accompanies evening
tailleurs with blouseS entirely
made of fringes in albene with a
touch of slit celluloSe finn. Some
designers, particularly Maggy
Rouff, combine fringes with a
printed fabric, the print design
appearing also on the fringe and
giving an open-work pattern to
the dress.

Certain elements are necessary
in the diet every day in the year
as these are not stored in the body.
Fortunately. most of these elements
appear in foods that are reliShed
during hot days when the guam
tity of food consumed is apt to
be small.
One authority has listed the
foods needed daily in the balanced
diet in. what is considered by him,
their order of Importance:
/. One pint of milk daily (bev-
erage, soups, desserts, etc.
2. One serving of fruit.
3. At least two generous servings
Of green and nonstarchy vegetables
spinach, string beans, lettuce,
beetS, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
4. One serving of meat, fish or
substitute.
S. Starchy vegetable or bread.
6. Desserts, butter, cream, to COM
plete menu.
7. Water in abundance.
Since summer means a changed
dietary this is also an excellent
time to check on weight according
to age and height. IF you are
overweight then certain foods high
in calorieS can be avoided. Foods
listed above under item 6 would
be of this type.
For those who are trying to gain
in weight, milk beverages served
with meals would add nourish-
ment without dulling appetite.
Vitamins and minerals are
among the elements that must be
eaten daily. During summer fresh
fruits and vegetables are an in.
expensive source of these. Fresh
pineapple, for example, is a good
source of vitamin B and C and
has also vitamin A and G. It is
rich in copper and manganese,
AASS ~AAAAOoO UW1NC do dS
milk, and has some phosphorus
and calcium.
Copper is used in building red
blood cells and manganese has an
important relation to growth and
development and is thought neces-
Sary in using the iron.
This recipe for pineapple des-
sert salad makes an attractive
way to serve fresh fruit.
Pineapple Salad
Cut the pineapple in half
lengthwiSe keeping the tuft of
the leaves on each half. Pick out
the pulp with fork and cut out
core. Sprinkle inside Win pow
dered sugar. Add sufficient pin
apple cut in cubes and fresh
Strawberries to make one pint.
Mix and chill but do not Sweeten.
For the dressing, boil one cup
of sugar and one cup Of water

Beauty
Give Dry Skin
Right Care
By DONNA GRACE

The dry skin, it seems. must

ding all the time. We use our
creams and our packs from time
to time, but If we neglect to keep
up sufficient fabrication for even
a few days, there will be
marked difference in the skin
surface.
The little fine lines and rough
ness seems to come on in q days
time in the very dry skins.
When the grained lines appear
we need more than just q good
dreaming. This is the time for
a pack.
The dried skin can be removed
with scrubbing and one or two
thorough messages, but packs are
more effective, and the following
Is a nice one: One Tablespoonful
of powdered oatmeal. Mix with
witch hazel to make thin paste.
Then spread over the face and
neck and leave it on for five
minutes.
Remove with tepid water; pat
the face dry and apply a slightly
warm mixture Of:
/ teaspoonful Of petroleum alba
l teaspoonful Of olive oil
/ teaspoonful Of castor oil
3 drops of oil Of rose
Leave this on for five or 10
minutes and remove it first with
tissue. Then cleanse the face
thoroughly with cleansing cream,
followed by a patting on Of iced
astringent.
Once in two weeks is enough
for this pack. Then use your
massage cream every night.
Do not wash with soap and
water every day. A thorough
soap and water facial once
week is sufficient, and then b.
careful to rinse well.

question in my column. Please

PARSONAGE WEDDING
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am to be married in the par.
sOnage of my church late next
month, in the evening. Only the
families are to attend. 1 would
like to know if the groom would
wear white flannelS, or if a dark
coat and white trousers would be
appropriate. I am going to wear
a sheer dress Of dubOnnet shade,
with a large lacy hat. The dress
is street length. Is this correct?
"Can my sister, who is to be my
attendant, wear the same type Of
hat that I wear? MARY"
approve, enthusiastically Of
your wearing a Street-length sheer
dress for your wedding at the par
sonage. And I suggest that you
don't choose too "dresSy' a hat,
for that wouldn't be very appro-
pirate with a street-length dress.
With the attire that you have 80
wisely planned to wear, it would
be more appropriate for the groom
to wear dark blue business suit.
Yes, your sister would wear the
same general type of attire that
you wear-but remember that her
hat shouldn't be teo dreSSy.

This letter should be interesting
to parents who do not allow their
daughter to have young men call
ers under the parental roof.
Mothers and fathers who forbid,
find fault and make scene when
a young man appears, might as
well make up their minds to the
fact that if their daughters cannot
have their boy friends at home,
they'll meet them elsewhere.
some girls ale doomed to a
lonely old age, because parents
crush their spirits so thoroughly
that they haven't any courage left.
We have all seen those silent, un-
happy creatures. But normal
girl doesn't submit; she has ways
and means Of meeting the blank
wall of parental opposition.
TRUE PROVERB
II one may put the question,
why do parents think that the
whole plan of nature has come to
an abrupt stop in the case of their
daughters? They are thrilled by
the great adventure of life, as
their mothers and fathers were
thrilled. Isn't it better to keep in
close touch with your girls, be
their friends, buddies, confidantS,
If possible, instead of being the
aloof censors that some parents
are today?
Never was there a truer proverh
than Stolen fruits are sweetest.
Why add the stimulation of stealth
to the thrill of meeting a boy?
Concealment is the spice Of life.
Bootleg love affairs are as
dangerous as bootleg liquor. If
young Johnny Jones were at
liberty to drop around and call on
your daughter, the event would be
robbed of half its witchery. If
she's reduced to meeting him away
from home, he becomes a young
shiek for whom she will wait on
the corner breathleSSly, with a
pounding heart.
If there is no fog raised over
him, it's probable the boy will
seem only a nice boy-with pos
Sibly a poor complexion. Or she
may wish that he didn't shear his
hair up the back of his neck like
a Japanese doll. Or she may
not like his tie.
If she meets him outside,
Johnny becomes a thrilling adj
venture. She has outwitted the
folks at home-and Johnny has
car waiting at the curb. Com
! plexion, hair and tie are forgot
ten or overlooked.
The job of parenthood is not
easy these days It means turn
ing the house inside out, occa-
Sionally, for a party. And yet
better the confusion, the Dor
rowing of extra cups and Saucers.
the refurbishing of your old
dress, than that your daughter
should have her parties away
from home.
FORGET THE JONESES
You not only should know the
young men your daughter goes
around with, but you should
know the girls as well. And don't
