QUITE o different kind Of showing

QUITE q different kind Of showing
V was presented by shop which
specializes in featuring fashions for
groups Of college girls. Last week they
had one Of their biggest showings,
when more than $50 girls from near
by university filled all available space
without an inch to spare. Enthusiasm
ran riot at this show, for the models
were all chosen from the college and
the clothes selected had particularly
appeal for the college girl.
The best-liked suit was 0 golden
beige three-piece ensemble of Shet-
land wool with short jacket covered
by three-quarter length cape with
pleated shoulder fullness. 1t was the
most original suit shown. This also
comes in other colors. Jigger topcoats
were numerous and looked equally
smart over contrast tailored suits or
casual frockS.
Outstanding among the dressy coats
was black princess model with f1ared
skirt, wide belt of black patent leather
and monkey fur used on the collar
and to edge the pockets placed just
below the belt. Another coat with
lots of snap was of navy blue, with a
many-gored ballerina skirt and wide
belt of red patent leather with match
ing leather bows slipped through eye
lets at the front closing, to take the
place of buttons.
The daffodil crepe dress won loud
applause with its Spring green frock
and short, belted overjacket of yellow
crepe laid in small pleats back and
front. But when the formals began
to appear, the enthusiasm reached its
peak. for there were the loveliest girls
in the most adorable frocks, and all
exactly suited to class day and prom
wear later on.
Apple green net with puffed sleeves,
V-neck and rows and rows Of pleated
ruching at the hemline was beautifully
modelled by a tall, willowy brunette.
Then came a powder blue taffeta, high
wasted, with shallow boat neck, nm
ished with a heavy cording of the
silk, and a noSegay of pink and white
flowers. More cording on the skirt
and small puffed sleeves made pic
ture dainty as Dresden china figure,
including the lovely blond girl who
wore it.
For the more tailored type of col
lege girl was shown a formal in bright
plaid taffeta-red, gold, black and
1 green-with a jacket and corsage Of
white flowers Something to suit every
taste was shown, and all equally
youthful and attractive. Another
fashion show devoted to coats and
suits will be described in this column
on Friday.

Dorothy Dix Says
Kisses Should Have Sentimental Quality
to Hold Married Couples

them put their whole hearts into the
kiss and get from 1t the same thrill
they did when their lips first met.
THIS theory will seem monstrous to
most women who seem to think
that it is quantity and not quality
that counts in q kiss, and who would
feel themselves neglected and doubt
their husbands love If they should
leave home in the mornings without
bestowing the customary smack upon
their cold-creamed cheeks. There
would be a lot more husbands who
would take more interest in kissing
their wives If only they could kiss
when they feel like it instead Of when
they are expected to.
AS for wife gauging her husbands
affection by his kisses, that is Sheerest
nonsense. The proof Of husbands
love is the way he treats his wife, the
kindness and consideration he shows
her, the way he works to make her
comfortable. The good husband is q
kOOu d1lu 4lOO a AAooAAAe bA6s
AS a matter Of fact. instead OF his
kissing being an infallible indication
of husbands devotion it is frequently
a cover for his indiscretionS. Judas
betrayed his Lord with a kiss and
many a husband kisses his wife's eyes
shut so that she cannot see his flirta-
tions with other women. The loyal
husband does not feel that he has to
stage a perpetual petting party with
his wife to make her sure Of his af-
fection.
It isn't natural for husbands TO be
overdemonstrative in their affections
and so perhaps the good parsons
effort to start husbands on kissing
spree may be only to arouse suspicion
in their wives breasts and make them
wonder what they are up to. Espe-
cially If the husbands improve their
technique and put little more kick
into their kisses. DOROTHY DIX.

GRANGE Enhances a

Star Stan Photo from Q washington Shop
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

CEVERAL letters have recently come
to my desk on the subject Of
abuse of perfume" and heartily
agree with the writer's that too much
Of a good thing may be worse than
none at all. I should like to quote
from two of the letters because they
seem so aptly written.
One reads: "A beauty columnist
ends a paragraph on woman's toilette
with the words: Then spray and
spray and spray
Unfortunately, that seems to be
what too many women do nowadays.
Imagine the unpleasant effect when q
number Of women who have sprayed
and sprayed and sprayed are gathered
In o small room, or, worse yet, IN q
car. Can't something be said or done
about it? Several Of my friends have
discussed the matter, but I do not
remember reading any word Of caution
regarding the misuse of perfume. A
faint. delicate fragrance is enhancing
to a woman's charm, but does one
woman in a thousand realize that
1t can be overdone so that discomfort
to others is the result? believe, sin
cerely, that a great many women
would welcome an expression In your
column"
Another letter in much the same
vein reads: II have been a silent
sufferer for a long time from the
too-liberal use of perfume by CO.
workers-women who move in the
best circles. think that often a
woman is unconscious of how strong
the perfume Is and no one will tell
her the result Is Just as bad
as B. O., II not worse. One can hardly
use too little, in my opinion, and yet
women offend constantly with regard
to this abuse"
It is true. Very often we suffer
from what we call olfactory fatigue.
Having become very familiar with an
odor, we fail to realize when that
odor increases in intensity.
Perfume, the last delicate touch to
the toilette, the exquisite, subtle tone
Of glamour, defeats its purpose when
used in excess. It Is q pity. For
carefully chosen and properly applied
perfume does add infinitely to a wom-
ans charm, has a tonic effect on her
own spirits, intrigues and attracts
others. It would be especially sad If
this abuse of perfume were to build up
a nrei1dise AGAINST one of the loyelieSt
of charm aids. But, that would be
false logic. Just as there Is no reason
for prejudice against makeup gen
orally because some women put it on
so that you can almost cut it with
Q knife"

and range from six ounces to two or
three pounds in weight.
THE skin may be almost as thin
as that of an apple and fairly smooth,
or thick and smooth, or it may be
leathery, rough, and shell like. Color
varies according to species from pur-
pie, maroon, and dark mahogany to
near black, and through various
shades of green. One favorite has
bright little yellow dots on pebbled
dull green skin.
'Avocados are ready for -ating
when the flesh is soft like butter. but
not mushy or discolored. Gentle hand
pressure will inform the inquirer. Me-
dium-sized avocados weighing about
pound and having a bright, fresh
appearance, the flesh fairly firm or
just beginning to soften, usually are
the best buys. Dark Sunken spots
warn of decay. Deeply cracked or
broken skins also may indicate decay,
as they give ready entrance to bac-
terra.
THE texture of the flesh of the
avocado should be soft, buttery or
marrow-like, not strngy. 1t is usually
yellowish or yellowish green in color
and the cut surface should stay bright
and attractive for an hour or So
Eventual darkening is inevitable, of
course. so that no more fruit should
have the skin removed than is in
tended for a meal
In flavor the avocado should be
rich and nutty, free from bitterness or
soapiness, not fiat and wattery. The
seed is always fairly large, but "1ould
make up less than fifth of the total
weight.
A S TO ways Of serving, the epicures
prefer it on the half sheel or in
salads and cocktails. Because Of its
texture and the subtlety of its flavor,
it combines best with vinegar or with
such acid fruits an vegetables as
oranges, grapefruit, lemons and to-
matoes. Served on the half shell with
seed removed, many a connoisseur
asks Just the salt cellar or cruet of
French dressing at hand. Others pre-
fer a bit of lemon juice or some catsup.
Still others like the shell filled with
other fresh fruits diced. A section of
grapefruit, then a similarly cut bit of
a bright red tomato and next to it a
section of avocado-this arrangement
repeated-and the whole set on a
bright green lettuce leaf with some
French dressing added, is dish to
make the eyes brighten, the mouth
water. Some people like it combined
with fresh pineapple and lemon juice
USED in slices with lemon juice or
vinegar it makes a delectable sand
wich. Diced for a fruit cocktail it
may be served with the ruby-hued
pomegranate and perhaps one or more
Of the tangy fruits added.
"Other salad favorites are avocado
with cabbage. celery, cucumber COM
binations or in a gelatin, for a mixed
fresh vegetable salad. A person with
sweet tooth may prefer it combined
with apple.
THE avocado develops a bitter flavor
on being subjected to much heat.
However, it may be diced and added
to soups, consommes or omelets just
before serving"

one shop at q convenient hour in the
late afternoon. Here was stressed the
importance of smart simphcity-the
suit of definitely good quality with
excellent cut. Navy was the pre-
dominating color in this collection,
with lots of soft feminine details, in
Guiding the use Of pink as a pleasing
Spring accent with oxford gray and
navy. The tailored suit with frilly
blouse was featured as very useful in
carrying through the business day and
on to tea or cocktails later In the aft

One Of the outstanding costumes
shown was an ensemble consisting OF
q smartly styled black frock with q
beige redingote-the very newest color
combination. The trimming details
of the crepe frock were looped edging
around the V-neck and front closing
and four small pockets also trimmed
with the loops. Over this was worn
q bolero jacket Of beige Botany wool

n pledge from the married men
II Of his congregation that they
4 \ will kiss their wives twice a
day. Evidently this is diplomatic
move on the part Of the reverend gen.
tleman to curry favor with the sisters
in his congregation, for it is well
known to all and sundry that the
major grievance Of the majority OF
wives is that their husbands do not
kiss them enough. But one wonders
If this homemade remedy Is really go
ing to work and put the pep and ginger
into connubial life that it loses as
the years go by and marriage becomes
a habit instead of romance.
One even wonders If even the most
sentimental and heart-hungry wife will
get any pleasure out of kiss that her
husband bestows upon her as q mat
ter of duty and routine just as he
does his daily dozen, and that he I'm
ishes with q ''thank goodness, that's
over for the day The value Of kiss
lies in its flavor and there is mighty
little sweetness in one that Is a chore
instead of thrill.
Why such value should be put upon
the common, or garden variety OF do
mestic kiss Is one of the unfathomable
mysteries of family life, for in the very
nature Of things it is bound to become
a mere ritual without feeling or mean
ing to it. You can't do the same thing
over every day under all sorts OF con-
ditions and circumstances, when you
feel like it and when you don't feel
like it, and put any enthusiasm Into II
or get any enjoyment out OF 1t.
YOU have only to observe the con-
L ventional kisses of husbands and
wives to see that they stand for moth
ing but the tradition that husbands
and wives should always kiss when
thew part or meet. Husband rises
from the breakfast table in hurry
to get to hts office, his mind filled
with his business problems, and he
bestows a ham-and-egg-flavored peck
ON his wife. She, busy with getting
the children of to school, persuading
Junior to eat his cereal and trying to
decide whether to order mutton or
beef for dinner, turns the rim OF her
ear or the back of her head to receive
1t. Neither one puts any more thought
or emotion into the ceremony than
they would in handing each other a
cold flapjack.
Certainly increasing the number OF
these perfunctory husband and wife
kisses isn't going to revive loves young
dream. turn unsentimental middle
aged men into romeos, promote do
mestic harmony or stop married
people from indulging in stolen kisses
on the outside now and then just to
see II there Is any taste still left in a
kiss. What we need is not more kisses
but better ones. This reform could
best be brought about by husbands
and wives not making kissing daily
duty but q rare pleasure; only kissing
each other when they were drawn
together by some wave Of tenderness
and affection and desire that made

serving it in their own homes. Says
the bureau:
Time was when the avocado was
iust a favorite dooryard tree OF the
Indians of Central America. Then
came the Spaniards whose palate the
fruit so pleased that they introduced
IT. into other colonies where waved
the Spanish flag. From the first re-
corded introduction of the avocado
In 1888 by a Floridian, to its develop
ment into an industry is long, often
dramatic tale. The building OF any
new industry is an expensive process,
costing the fortunes and often the
lives of pioneers. The history OF the
avocado business is no exception.
PLANT explorers from the United
States Department of Agriculture
especially between 1910 and 1925,
searched the avocado districts OF Cen
tral America, Peru, Ecuador, Chile,
Mexico and the West Indies for de-
eirable types Of this fruit to send back
as plant immigrants into Florida and
California. From the seeds, bud
sticks and cuttings sent by these ex-
plorers and others have developed
the fine orchards of today. 1t was
estimated that more than 20 million
pounds of this fruit was eaten in this
country in 1885. The demand is in
creasing each year. And as produc-
ton has increased prices quite nat
urally have decreased so that now
chain stores are handling the avocado
and it is coming down out of the luxu-
~ food class. 1t can be bought in the
United States the year around.
Part of the secret of the rapid rise
In avocado popularity is in its high
nutritive value-part in its rich,
nutty flavor With the exception of
olives, no other fruit has so large a
percentage of fat, its amount varying
from to 26 per cent, depending upon
the variety. The caloric value, OF
course, varies with the fat content,
but forth to a half of medium sized
avocado Will usually yield 100 calories.
The total sugar content is less than
per cent-far lower than that Of most
fruits, so that it is practically carbo-
hydrate free, fact which makes it
useful in diabetic diets. Its phos-
phorus content Is highe- than that Of
most common fruits and the iron rela-
lively high as fruits go. 1t also out
ranks all other fresh fruits as source
of protein and is important for its
vitamins. 1t has all the known vita
minis, C being the only one not found
