BY MARGARET WARNER.

I INSPIRED by Velasquez's famous
painting of The Infanta Mar
garita Teresa in Red is a new
perfume with all the rhythm and
fire that we associate with old Bour-
bon Spain when the wide skirts of
its lovely ladies swished to the Sc
ductlve strains of the tango.
1t is described as a strange, tan
talizing, dark-eyed perfume for your
reckless moods. 1t is for a woman
with fair for adventure 1t is a
pleasantly disturbing fragrance that
demands attention. You will see it
pictured above in its clear crystal
crown bottle on a royal blue velvet
cushlon-a marvellous present for a
glamorous lady.
A drop of this perfume came to
us on chiffon scarf of infanta red,
which We considered a charming
method of description. The red blends
perfectly with that of the red of the
portrait as reproduced in our Art Ap-
probation Series, except that it Is as
vivid as the original was at the time
Velasquez painted it.

A NEWCOMER among toiletries in
this city is a group of exquisite
perfumes and powders that may be
ranked with the finest. You will find
the perfumes in crystal balls topped
by double-headed crowned eagle,
also OF cryStal-an entirely different
idea you will agree. The most out
standing fragrance is dedicated to
her royal highness the Duchess OF
Kent. 1t may be described as being
delicate as drifting clouds, yet not
without glamour. There are two other
odeurs equally interesting. The prices
start at 81. There is also face powder
and a set of compact and lipstick
by the same firm.
Bath sets make lovely gifts and
usually they are not as expensive
as some other things from the same
department; Furthermore, every one
enjoys a specially nice cake of soap,
with dusting powder and cologne in
the same fragrance Even women
who do not follow the current fads
in rouge and lipstick would not deny
themselves the luxury of such bath.
There is a. nice set consisting of a
large cake of excellent soap newly
presented in this larger size. box of
talcum powder and bottle of cologne,
also a new item in this particular line

Have a Fund
For Buying
IuxurieS
Occasional Treat
Helps to Keep
You Young.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IT MUST seem downright selfish, at
time when unselfshness rules
heart and mind, to so much as sug-
gest that you, your precious self,
should head the gift list. But, if it's
beauty you're giving away, I think
It's swell for the soul, to say nothing
OF your good looks. If you can't
stretch your budget bit, and If you
haven't established a nonsense fund,
then do q little shipping here and
there. And, with the shipped savings,
treat yourself to the one little beauty
extravaganza you've wanted most this
last year, but felt you just didn't dare.
Do it. By all means, unless you're very
sure some one will catch the thought
waves and do it for you.
Perhaps it isn't an extravaganza
at all, but . single cream or lotion
or . compact, q kit or bath dusting
powder, . perfume or an atomizer, an
absolute essential or little luxury
1t doesn't matter. Get 1t and watch
the warm feeling deep down inside at
the thought of possessing 1t, at last.
Throughout the country people have
Christmas funds. It's matter Of .
very nominal amount each week, and
then come time for the seasons gifts
and greetings, 1t comes in very handy
and nils many . bill like to call
mine nonsense fund.-" though it goes
for q good deal that Is more important
than mere nonsense" But I do
think such q fund for ones self, just
to get few things that you honestly
have wanted but felt there was some
thing else more important that had
to come first, such . fund helps to
keep one young almost as surely as
cosmetics, as surely as buying q new
coat or dress. II it is . beauty es-
sential you have denied yourself, then
you should ceT1einly get it for the
good it will do your looks.

MODERATELY active woman, for

A MODERATELY active woman. for
instance. whose energy needs
might be 1880 to 2,40O calories a day
could safely reduce her weight gradu-
ally on a well-planned diet furnishing
from / 400 to 1900 calories q day. Or
she might gain on a diet containing
5000 to 1000 calories day
IT you want to lose weight cut
down on foods that supply lot Of
enefgy-sweets, fats and starches.
Omit candy, jams. marmalades and
other sweet spreads. Eat fruit for
dessert instead of rich cake, cookies,
pastries or other sweet connections.
Reduce your cream and butter to a
minimum. These, however, are q
valuable source of vitamin A 50 don't
cut them out altogether.
Get your milk In the form of skim
milk If you wish. This contains most
OF the valuable food elements in milk.
Eat lean meats instead of those with
fat. Avoid hot breads because they
tempt you to use lot of butter. Eat
your cereal with milk, and thin slices
OF bread with . minimum of butter.
Remember that you can add q lot
OF calories to = food by preparing 1t
with sugar, starch or butter. A low
calorle vegetable becomes . high
calorie dish when served with rich
white or hollandaise sauce. And 4
plain baked apple can become chuck
tul OF calories If you doctor it up with
sugar, raisins and nuts.
You may find that you can get q
satisfactory feeling OF having your
NIL by eating bulky vegetables. Be
careful not to overdo this. however,
since IN some cases too much roughage
nritates the digestive tract.
IF YOU want to gain weight, turn
the above 'dont's into dos
Eat foods that supply a lot Of energy
high-calorie foods. Then when your
body doesn't use this energy the ex-
cess will be changed into body fat.
Add much butter to bread and cream
to your cereal. Eat both fat and lean
meats. Enjoy rich gravies and des-
serts. Eat salad dressing often. And
occasionally eat candy and nuts at
the end Of the meal.
In place of coffee or tea at meals,
substitute milk. And drink milk some
times in place of water or In mid
afternoon milkshskes with egg or fruit
juices added. II you can do it, add q
little extra cream to your milk
Either in reducing or gaining the
best way is the slower way. If you try
to increase your food consumption all
at once you may overtax your digestive
system. And If you lose too rapidly
you may we'll question your reducing
technique.
There are numerous preparations
on the market that are guaranteed to
reduce your weight safely without
making 1t necessary for you to change
your habits Of exercise or of eating
In their advertising these blurb writer's
promise results for all kinds Of over
weight. '''
There Is still no royal road to re-
ducing. The sane way In most cases
Is the hard way Of diet and exercise
Whether you want to gain or lose get
q physicians advice And the diet he
recommends to you will include the
basic protective foods needed in any
well-balanoed diet.
These protective foods include the
vegetables. especially the green and
yellow varieties; fruits OF all kinds
particularly citrus fruits for their
vitamin c content; milk, and eggs"
Evening star., 1937-12-06

YOU want to lose, cut them out. But,
the main thing is, . good many Of us
aren't really sure about just which
foods are fattening and which aren't.
We all know vaguely about butter and
candy-but beyond that We are not so
sure. And, most important Of all. we
don't understand what depriving our
systems OF certain food elements Is
going to do to US in the long run. And
that is something that, very seriously,
must not be overlooked for one in
slant. Hear what the Bureau Of
Home Economics of the United States
Department OF Agriculture has to say
on the subject:
IF YOU consider that you are under
or over weight see your physician.
Each persons weight is an individual
problem and any variation from nor
NAL may be caused by a number of
different things.
For example, overweight may be
the first symptom OF some disease or
it may be q plain case OF immoderate
eating or not enough exercise. In the
first case, your physician can help you
from the beginning. And in case of
eating and exercise he can advise for
you q health routine and q safe and
sane program Of weight control.
If your physician does tell you to
change your diet, he'll probably recon-
mend q nutrition expert who can
help you. She can tell you what
foods to include If you are lacking spe-
cific food elements in your diet. Or
she can tell you what foods help you
gain weight and which ones to omit
If you want to lose weight.
And most important of all, she can
tell you what foods you must abso-
lutely have in your diet to maintain
health. We have such a wide selec-
tion Of foods available on markets to-
day that she can do all this and have
your diet palatable and enjoyable Al
well.
''Nutritionists Of the Bureau of
Home Economics point out that any
diet should contain adequate protein,
minerals, vitamins and water to main
tain health. In addition, 1t must pro-
vide enough energy materials for the
days activity.
The easiest way to make sure Of q
well-balanced diet is to eat . variety
Of foods. Whether you are reducing
or gaining 1t Is important that your
diet include protective food-milk
green vegetables, eggs and fruit
After you make sure that your diet
contains these essentials you may
vary 1t so that you can gain or lose
weight.

"PUT your cap on this morning,
Sammy. 1t is raining and there
Is q cold wind"
II can't find my cap"
Cant find it? Didn't you hang
It up2"
mo, couldn't find it in school,"
"Oh, you lost it. Do you know that
is the third cap you have had in
month? Why can't you look after
your things? Other boys don't lose
their things"
"oh, yes they do, ma, Billy lost his
mittens and
Yes, and SO did you. Your mittenS
and your caps and your sweater, and
Adolph's sweater into the bargain
Something has to be done, young man
You look about the school for that
cap. Put on your good one now I
can't have you out in storm without
a hat. But don't come home without
it. Remember"
Sammy was late getting home that
afternoon and when he did arrive it
was without his cap and rubbers.
II couldn't find them. 1 looked
everywhere. Somebody must have
taken them. That's all. I can't help
1t II there are thieves about. They
pick on me every time They don't

Sammy, you talk nonsense. This
has to stop. 1 shall go to school and
ask your teacher to check up on you
when you get to class, before you leave
and every time you come or go. You
are going to learn to take care of your
belongings from now on if you don t
learn another thing"
Mother and teacher talked it over
I'll look him over when he comes in,
and I'll see that he hangs up his coat
and cap and sweater. You be sure he
has his name in them all. Ill appoint
monitor to follow him up and be-
tween us We will make him conscious
that he has caps and rubberS and

order Sammy came home in good time
for lunch, all smiles and eagerness.
Where is your sWeater?" said his
mother. Sammys face went blank.
Gee! l guess lost it. I must have
left it on the fence when I stopped to
tie my shoe"
Go back and get it. If it is not
where you left it, go to the lost and
found and look for it. Don't come
back to me until you have note from
the teacher saying that you have done
everything possible to find your
sweater"
But I'm hungry. Starving. Can't
look after lunch?"
No! Hurry or it will be gone. And
remember, the note or the sweater
has to come home"
Sammy did not get home again for
lunch. 1t took all afternoon to find
that sweater. Prodded along by the
monitor, directed by the teacher, he
made thorough canvass of the pos
sibilities and at last found his lost
garment in the lost and found room.
That one hungry search did more to
make Sammy remember his things
than any other method.

~ mercial and attached q price

paper that you pick up contains
an account of some discarded lover
who is suing his former sweetie for
the money he spent in counting her
or seeking to recover the hope chest
he gave her or OF some girl who Is
demanding to be recosnpensed in good
hard cash for the time she wasted on
some lad who finally sidestepped the
altar.
This is sad reading for us oldsters
who are incorrigibly romantic and who
like to think that, no matter how
sordid and calculating We have be-
come, the blood Of youth runs hot and
swift, and that boys and girls do not
count the cost Of their emotions and
value each thrill at 80 much per thrill.
All for love and the world well lost.
That sort Of thing, you know.
So it Is disoouraging to learn that
when the modern Romeo goes a-wooing
he does not wear next to his heart the
withered rose or the lock of hair that
his Juliet gave him. He carries tn
his breast pocket, right over the car
diac region, . little account book in
which he carefully sets down the price
Of the shaves and haircuts, the new
suit, the candy, flowers, movie tickets
and gasoline he has paid out to flnd
favor in her eyes,
TT Is even more devastating to hnd
out that the current Juliet, a. the
reporters say, Isn't languishing over
her balcony for nothing. While she
listens to Romeo's song and dance, she
is figuring out that this prolonged pet
ting party Is going to run into real
money. even at q minimum wage Of
40 cents per hour, in case he doesn't
make good on his promises. Further
more, she doesn't tie up Romeo's let
ters In blue ribbon and sleep with them
under her pillow. She parks them in
her safety deposit box, where they will
be valuable asset-just in case.
OF course, it may be said that it Il

tract that one cannot WEIGH upon With
impunity.
Perhaps the man who has laid his
pocketbook as well as his heart at his
Lady Loves feet and had them both
returned to him empty is entitled to
feel that he should, at least, get his
money back. Maybe the girl who has
spent hours embroidering an initial
that will never be hers on doilies should
be paid for her labor. But even if
courtship is put on a business basis
Of getting value received for what is
given, surely both the man and the
woman could bring in counterclaims
that would Offset the Others bill.

EOR the pleasures Of courtship are
their own reward. No man goes to
see q girl every night and takes her
to places of amusement unless he gets
. lot Of fun out Of doing 80. No girl
lets . man monopolize her unless she
hiss the time Of her life stepping out
with him. So. no matter how q love
affair ends, they break even. They
have had their 2 cents worth.
OF course, for . long time we have
been familiar with breach-of- promise
suits in which predatory women who
have been Tilted claimed that they
had sustained injuries to their hearts
that could only be healed by q large
poultice of greenbacks. These were
such hold-ups that in many States
they have been barred by law on the
principle that those who sit in at
the love game know 1t for the gamble 1t
is and, If they lose, are entitled to no
comeback.
Heretofore the breach-of promise
suit and the love balm suit have been
strictly feminine rackets, but appAr-
emily men are nusceling In On them,
for they are beginning to make women
pay for the time-honored privilege Of
changing their minds. And If when
Arabella breaks an engagement she
doesn't send the ring and all the port
able presents back, they send the sher-
III after her. And that is the last ex-
piring sigh Of romance lad chivalry.
