ter, for the fabrics are grand,
anyway.
white Is Everywhere
White is at the top right now.
Pastels are excellent, and If you
want something darker, there is
vivid blue that is we'll liked, and
some good reds, Spanish, Chinese,
or whatever you want to call them.
White nearly always takes color
accent, by the way, and very often
grosgrain is used for binding, a
smart note that adds greatly to
the wearing possibilities Of the
dress.
The gowns we have on our page
today are mute but strong proof
Of how very good looking lace can
be. There's q jacket dress that is
extremely practical because it is
low-cut beneath the jacket, and
can do for the most formal occa-
sion. With the youthful jacket, 1t
serves for less formal affairs.
Red For Accent
The other frock Is lovely, not
wearable for as great q variety of
occasions perhaps, but smart
enough to make up for 1t. With
its red groSgrain band at the high
waistline it is not only appealing,
but youthful and smart as we'll.
There's a third popular type
right now, the dress with tailored
jacket. It combines the practical
features Of our frocks shown here,
yet is easier for some people to
wear. in fact its the type that
will "go anywhere, and can be
worn by anybody" We recon.
mend them, one and all.

Beauty
Business Girl
Is Praised
Rv DONNA GRACE

The smart, well -groomed busi-
ness girl is entitled to q lot Of
praise and commentator when
we consider the effort it must
mean to her.
It Is difficult to be always fault
lessly dressed, even for the home
or society girls who have leisure
time and servants to take the re-
sponsibility.
The business girls, however,
seem to have reduced the matter
of grooming to a little scientific
routine. They are innately clean
and dainty, or it would be impos-
sible for them to keep themselves
so attractive.
They know that lingerie must
be immaculate at all times, and
that means a fresh change every
day. Hose and shoes are just as
new and perfect as If they were
always being worn for the first
time. Many girls do the launder-
ing Of their own little silk things
and hose, and they usually make
soft soap SudS in g bowl and
squeeze the small pieces in it and
they are clean and ready for rims
ing.
The crepe de chenes and satins
may be rolled in q thick bath
towel and ironed at once, and the
hose are permitted to dry before
pressing. All washable neckwear
and cuffs are taken care Of in the
same way.
Shoes must be brushed and
rubbed or polished when taken
off at night. Never put away q
soiled shoe. This means evening
slippers. too, even when one comes
home in the small hours. You
may need to wear the same shoes
again within the next IL hours.
So, put them back in their case
in perfect order.
Never wear any garment that
shows mark of perspiration. 1t
stamps one as unclean and care
less and will mar the best make
up and grooming.
Remember to brush hats and
fur coats Just as other woolen
garments are brushed.
Soiled. worn gloves and hand
bags will detract from ones good
looks.
The seam in the stockings
must be straight in the back Of
the leg.
A gown should not be put on
without pressing, even after be-
ing worn only once.
Avoid overturned, fanciful
styles for business. Plain, semi.
tailored dresses or suits are in
good taste. Crisp colors or col
ored blouses may soften the
severity of the man-tailored suits.
Complete beauty cases with
tissues and skin cleansers are
kept in the desk or private closet
ready for any kind of day or
late afternoon makeup.

HE'S JEALOUS
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Evidently my husband wants
to cOnfine me to our home ex-
cIusively. This IL getting on my
nerves, as I'm still in the twen-
ties and considered attractive.
NV handicap is that can't
dance, with the exception Of .
little waltzing. This iS my htls-
hands excuse for not taking me
out. He won't teach me to
dance. and 1 know this Is due to
plain jealousy. So he goes out
by himself.
"My greatest ambition ID TO
learn how to dance well. Do
You think am too old to learn?
"R. B. s."
In your town there must be
dozens of dancing schools. Go to
one of these and surprise your
husband by showing him soon how
we'll you can dance. It's absurd to
think you can't learn how to dance
while you're still in the twenties.
I once surprised a professor Of
54 years of age trying to learn to
dance from a dancing manual In
a community ballroom. But I
can't guarantee the manual, as he
seemed embarrassed and closed
the book when some friends and
l surprised him struggling with his
one, two, threes.

Lace Leads Now
It's hard to say which is the
best, lace. net or chiffon they
are all so good. Right now 1t seems
that lace is taking the center of
the stage. Perhaps by warm
weather net will be on the top Of
the wave. But right now, if you
want to be sure Of your evening
chic, buy lace. It's easy enough,
for the stores are full Of lovely
laces, smarter than anything
you've ever imagined, for although
lace Is o fanciful fabric, 1t makes
up into clothes that are suave and
smart, suitable for the most so
phisticated person you ever saw.
There seem to be no rules for
the laces themselves. They may
be Of cotton, silk or rayon, and
most likely they will be of a mix
ture that defies description or
even Identification. Weavers are

tor q layman to know what he or
she Is wearing. But It doesn't mat

What They're
Wearin6

An adventure in chic is the suit
dress, the perfect costume for day
light hours. Wasp waists, Anna
zon shoulders and exotic colors
make these frocks a dazzling new
fashion. Grey or black, in sheers
or thin wools, are favored for the
skirts and jackets. with the
bodices in flaming shades or soft
pastels. One of these suit dresses,
of grey wool, has a copper taffeta
blouse striped with rows of drawn
work. A copper felt Homburg,
copper kidSkin pumps with split
tongues, and a copper bag are cap
tivating accessories.

"CheeriO, old thing. Let's
have the coat and hat. The
fireworks are almost ready to
start"
Still my curiosity mounted by
leaps and bounds. Mary had
promised last night when I left
the new glass pan to have q
dinner that would show off its
merits to best advantages. She
also had added that she was
making something that would
make q dramatic show. 1t was
something that had intrigued her
as she had only been able to
see it as she put it in and then
when it was ready to serve but
never In the making.
I tried q few guesses but be-
fore I learned whether any we're
right or not, Mary called out:
"Gather round. We are now
about to see just what hap
pens to q dumping after 1t
hits simmering broth"
DUMPLINGS
Both Jane and I watched from
over the table and vegetable bin
as she started dropping dump
ling rounds into boiling sauer-
kraut with much juice and not
so much kraut). She quickly put
the lid on the stew pan and
watched. The sauerkraut Juice
rolled into a fast boil and the
dumplings slowly began to puff
UP.
Jane said:
"Isn't that marvellous! Well,
never have seen anything like
that before. You know this
pam has the most uses. We
are more proud Of 1t than any
thing we have"
'Tt Is one of those things we
needed and didn't know it. We
didn't have o glass baking dish
not even a pottery one, so we are
figuring on using this for that,
tOo," Mary said.
"This for that, tit for tat, and
when do we eat?" asked Jane.
"In five more minutes. Yes,
it's time to put the ice cubes in
the glasses and put the butter
on" answered Mary.
BY the time the bread and but
ter were placed, water glasses
were filled, and the candles Lighted,
the dinner was ready. This IS
what they had:
Thick Drowned Pork Chops
savory Dumplings in Sauerkraut
Canned Apple Sauce
Bread Butter
Cream Fig Pudding
Coffee
It was q homely dinner, they ex'
ulained, but thought it most excel
lent for cold weather when you
