There are still other ways Of

seemingly most popular method is
to avoid fattening foods. You can

Beauty
BY Donna Grace

Every day I receive any number
of letters from those trying to get
thin, and they always receive one
of my own tried and reliable diets,
which are marvellous for removing
overweight.
I have a few pet diets. One of
them is the milk diet, which has
been very satisfactory; but, be-
sides that, I have my complexion
diet. which is the one I like best
of all.
1t is splendid for clearing the
skin and reducing weight, and, be-
cause of the quantity Of fruit
juices it calls for, I have always
considered it unequalled for neu'
tralizing and eliminating the &C.
emulation Of wastes and poiSonS.
Physicians and food specialists
tell us that fruits and vegetables
are far better when they are in
season, and, as my complexion
diet is based on citrus fruits, this
is the best time of the year to be-
gin it.
Grapefruit, oranges and lemons
are in season now and for the next
few months they should be in
cluded in every diet.
Many of my readers have told
me that they lose from eight to
10 pounds during the IL days Of
the diet. After the IL days the
routine can be repeated. or an
other light diet can be taken up,
but do start at once and just see
for yourself what this complexion
diet will do for you.
Even if you are not overweight,
IL is one of the best ways in the
world to clear the skin and give q
new, vibrant and slender grace to
the figure.
Dear Donna Grace:
"WOuId you please tell me how
to gain weight? / have an enOr-
nous appetite and eat many times
during the day. Still, 1 do not
gain. I am l6 and weigh ITO, and
am very active in all Out-Of doors
sports. Does swimming develop
the bOdy?"
FRANCES THERESA"
To find a 16-year-old girl weigh
! ing 10 pounds and trying to put
on more weight is most extraor-
binary. OF course you did not
tell us how tall you are. If you
are not unusually tall, you weigh
enough for your age. You should
be sure to rest enough, continue
with your sports and out-of- doors
activity and eat regular meals.
Georgette s.: Kindly send in
your request for the pamphlet

season collection.
The coronation is said to have
a good deal to do with it too, as
imperialism was at its height at
that time, and clothes worn at
every court were of the utmost
importance. But most important
of all, in the minds of most people,
is the fact that those were pros
porous years, and that prosperity
is again with us in 1887.
Times Are Similar
Many things we're similar then
to conditions now. The country
was recovering from the Spanish
American War, and aside from
good times in general, there was
great industrial expansion. Such
is the case now. The coronation
set the pace for fashions suitable
to royalty, and the Paris EXPOSE
ton is expected to give us per-
feet picture of modern life on a
higher than usual standard. But
to get to the fashions themselves
the driving coat" was a ia
vorite with our mothers. 1t was
a short, boxy little coat, rather
tailored, with revers and high
placed pockets. That describes
our own little boxy jackets that
top off our suits to T. The per-
fectly straight lines. the wide
shoulders with or without puff,
and often double revers, are true
signs of 1900.
Driving coats" were often Of
fur, and so they will be this year.
There is a great deal of comment
on short fur jackets, and they will
be on pretty much the same lines
as those of the turn of the CEN
fury; straight, hip length and with
standing collar or revers. Even
muffs will probably add their
touch to complete the picture.
Straighter long coats have been
predicted for some months, and
they are like the longer coats of
the earlier day. The lines are
semi-fitted, but give a straight look.
The main difference is the fact
that our clothes for street are
short, while those our mamas
wore swept the floor, and most of
them had dust ruffles, by neceS-
sity.
Mae West Evening Gowns
To return a moment to Schia-
parelli, who seems to be ever max.
ing fashion news, she translated
the Mae West fashions into a
lovely evening gown, which is said
to be one of the most successful
in her collection. 1t mas a skirt
with fullness all in the back, per.
fectly plain in front and with a
slight train. Even the decolletage
has q flavor of 1900, as it has a
dropped-Shoulder line.
Schiaparelli also has adapted
the hats of 1900 to this year. She
makes rather large hats turned up
abruptly on one side and trimmed
with feathers. One has a veil all
over the face, not rUffled, but
pulled down plain. which is very
decidedly turn Of the century
In spite of all these features. the
hat is said to be perfectly wear
able and headed for undoubted
popularity.
Even fabrics hard back. as
twills, broadcloths, embroidery,
ribbon and velvet trimmings were
all landmarks of those days, and
they will be just as much so in
the autumn season, 1887.
