no food fits more neatly than
the banana.
This month when other fresh
fruits, and of course many vege-
tables. abound in the markets
and at such reasonable prices,
too, is a good time to take ad-
vantage of this bounty and serve
the family cool, crisp menus,
fresh from the orchard and gar
den.
A well chilled fruit cup and
crisp, salty waters are an in
viting beginning. Then serve a
generous platter of broiled lamb
chops and tender new potatoes.
Add another warm vegetable, a
salad of cool garden greens, and
top off the meal with a fruity
ice box dessert which can be
made early in the day.

IT WAS fun to play in the

nail or two in our efforts to
catch the gritty ball. The
pretty white hands too were

nothing Of the wear and tear on
elbows and arms. There is no
denying the fact, many of us
look a mess" at the end OF
summer, but we had a grand
time-So, who cares?
The truth is we do care, but
there is always the comfort OF
knowing what to do and how to
remove all the effects of the sun
and wind and restore the skin
to its natural loveliness. You
must start your reconditioning
at once though. New fall fash
ions and the little season festivi-
ties are here, and they demand
a new complexion as well as
smooth, well-groomed hands.
Your hands and arms will be
the issue for now, and those who
find it convenient will go to a
good salon for the work. There
they will be ready with some
nice treatments that will soon
bring back the natural color and
softness, but for the girls who
want to do the work at home,
here is a good method:
First, run a rather warm tub
and you may add your bubble
bath, or bath oils, but have a
cake of soap and brush, and
while you sit there make a thick

travagant way. Scrub the arms

DENNY goes personally to
= select the chickens she
buys, at least until the
butcher becomes acquainted
with her standards and her
needs. She presses and ex-
amines the flesh. She can
tell something of the quality
of the meat by doing this as
well as detect whether it has
been water soaked. This
practice is often carried on
by unscrupulous dealers who
want to add weight. to their
produce. She examines the
breast bone to see if 1t is
pliable and the leg bones 10
detect whether they are soft,
smooth and tender. These in
dicate whether or not the
bird is young. She also knows
the size she wants. 1t will
no doubt be used for more
than one meal, but she knows
that a weightier chicken
roasts better than a smaller
one.

For sportswear she girdles
the coat with wide kid belt
brushed over lightly with silver.
The big silver buckle is made
up Of James initials in block

on a silvery black kid bag. An
other sports combination for
the coat is made up of a bright

When the cocktail hour rolls

suede gloves which have high
flaring gauntlets richly en-
broidered in gold and silver
sequins while gold and silver
clips accent her neckline. An
other idea for late afternon
glamour is a double metal belt
similar to those worn by ladies
of Robin Hoods day. One Of
these wrought in gold, traces the
high-low waistline and has o

A new color combination

dish concocted by the cook.
But it's a green-blue shade that's
teamed up with mustard. Your

Purchasing a Roasting Chicken
Penny Wise: Betty LittleWit:

(Over the Telephony
Send me a nice chicken for
roasting. One 1Dith a nice lot
of fat. HoD large? oh,
big enough for a family OF
four Dith enough left over for
q supper snack"
DEITY takes a chance upon
~ the butcher knowing how
big her family's appetite for
chicken is. Since she wants
a nice fat one she may get
one with wads of fat around
the internal organs but little
distributed throughout the
flesh. This kind of a bird is
likely to be old and, regard
less of age, the meat will not
be tender and juicy when it
is roasted. The chicken she
ordered may be any size, any
variety, any age, yet she no
doubt pays the same price per
pound as Penny who is taking
precautions to buy that which
will yield the best product. If
they cook their chickens prop
erly they will roast them in
uncovered pans with no water,
basting frequently during the
cooking period. They will keep
the temperature of the oven
at approximately 800 degrees
throughout the entire period.
The breast is turned up to
brown slightly for the last
hour of roasting.

Interesting Models

TIVE-THIRTY yesterday
Il afternoon found this de-
partment comfortably set
tied in the charming, newly
decorated second-floor salon
of a New York shop waiting
for the curtain to go up ON
the 1888 fall import collec-
tion.
Outstanding was Molyneux'
gold-yellow tweed suit flashed
with a matching jersey blouse,
and in the "country-town" style
scene we liked Schiaparelli'S
deep-plum wool model with
neatly fitted jacket and slightly
flared skirt.
Specimen Fox
Cape Bolero
Vionnet's contribution to the
afternoon fashion picture was
quite unique: A slim plum wool
frock topped by short, white
bolero studded with gaucho nail
heads. And speaking of daytime
costumes, we want to mention
this very minute an individual
cape bolero of specimen foxes"
These skins, which must be
collected as leisurely and with
as great care as precious pearls,
tone from light gray to silvery
black, and certainly contrast
most effectively with the rich
purples and rusty red shades
so important to the daytime
scene this season.
Upon his return from Paris,
Charles Oppenheim, head Of this
shop, spoke particularly well of
the creations designed by a COM
parative newcomer to the
"haute couture" of Paris, Balen-
ciago, and we certainly see what
he means after a quick glimpse
at the beautifully nodded long
sleeved inner frock studded with
brick-tone palette roses.

One Color Reigns

The trick this fall is to have
your entire costume the same
color, and is it a gorgeous idea!
Hat, shoes, gloves, bag, every
thing in this wonderful red,
which seems to be becoming to
every complexion.
Red barn red is another favor

indicates the color of a red barn
in a country landscape.
Rustic settings are used by
several stores as backgrounds
for their models. One shop has
window after window of tree
trunks and autumn leaves. On
the bare branches of a tree are
suede hats and purses in every
autumn color. Crab apples are
sprinkled among the leaves on
the floor. Several other win

NEW YORK, Sept. y.
THE shop windows of
- Fifth Avenue always tell
the fashion story in any sea-
son. This fall is no exception
to that rule, except perhaps
they're saying it this year
louder and funnier. For if
you were not taking your
fashions seriously, you could
laugh like everything at
bright plaid shoes, wee knots
of velvet and f a t h ers
perched forward over a lady
impersonating a chapeau,
to say nothing of whoopee
hoop skirts for evening.
But in case you do take your
fashions seriously as what
woman doesn't, you'll be. so en-
chanted that, before you know
it, you will have walked miles
just looking and gazing.
One famous shop has blocks
of nothing but shades of red.
Blue blood red is the favorite, a
clear ruby shade with lights of
violet and blue in it to go with
the new hp-stick.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.

no public thinking about the matter.
especially the duty OF the individual to
safeguard others.
We all talk about the Golden Rule, but
seldom think OF making 1t an individual
matter.
Yet the personal application is where
1t counts.
One of the best applications. from now
on through the cold Of winter, will be in
regard to sneezing and coughing.
A faint beginning Of a public con-
sciousness in this matter was made here
last year with the putting up Of signs in
public places asking persons to refrain
from sneezing on others.
A great deal more will have to be done.
The point Is that there are many sorts
of "colds," and that every one is most
susceptible to the strange sorts. BY
strange sorts we mean the types which
one has never had before.
There can be little question about this;
every year the doctors treat new types
of colds. One year the prevailing sort
runs to stomach disorders accompany
ing the common symptoms; the next 1t
may run to bad sore throats.
~ ~
Every family seems to have its own
favorite types of colds.
A certain resistance Is built up against
this type.
Even when one member Of the family
catches 1t, the rest do not necessarily
do so.
But when the germs of different type
are sprayed all over them by some
thoughtless person. they come down
easily with the new type.
Hence, the beginning and end of
concerted attempt to reduce the misery,
danger and economic loss of the COM
mon cold" must be public education to
prevent as many cases as possible.
\ X + X
If we remember that it Is the stran-
gers cold which hits us the worst, we
will not be so complacent, perhaps,
about the fat fellow who insists on
sneezing at random, especially when the
random" means us.
We will arise, and get hence, even II
it means paying another fare, for it will
be worth it.
The time will come in every crowded
city, one may feel sure, when promiscu-
GUS sneezing in public places will be
regarded as uncouth and harmful. The
present prevailing attitude of indiffer-
ence will be replaced by one of vigilance
against violators of all hygienic laws,
including this desired one of no sneezing.
But can't help it," some one cries.
A sneeze is the easiest thing in the
world to stop. If one knows how
All that is necessary, in nine cases out
of ten, is to place the right forehnger
on the upper lip, just below the nose,
and press firmly. The right forefinger
is suggested because one can press harder
with it.
This leaves the left hand free to get
out ones handkerchief, 50 that if the
sneeze cannot be stopped, the square Of
linen may be used to catch 1o,999 800
germs at each of the three standard
ker-choos.

must be remembered that the party VA
created In 1885 primarily for the pur'
pose Of supporting President Roosevelt
for reelection. In that year its presi.
Dental electors were identical with thoss
Of the Democratic party.
A defeat for the Democratic ticket In
New York this year would be black eye
for the Roosevelt administration. That
is something the Laborites are anxious
to prevent-even to the extert Of waiv-
ing the privilege Of placing candidates
of their own in the field for the guber-
material and senatorial nominations. So
they have Endorsed Senator Wagner and
Representative Mead, the Democratic
nominees for Senator, as well as Gov
ernor Lehman.
The Labor party, by joining with the
Democrats in the New York contest, is
doing a bit of gambling OF its own.
Should Mr.. Dewey be elected Governor
of New York, the Labor party's influence
would fade, would. in fact, become in
significant. On the other hand, If Gov
ernor Lehman Is reelected and the rest
Of the Democratic ticket pulls through.
the Laborites will be in position to
claim credit for the victory.
Mr.. Dewey, the Republican nominee
for Governor, has done nothing during
Lir tep,,re of offoa +o ALLEVIATE &be Ap,.r
lean Labor party, which supported him
for election last year. On the contrary,
he has prosecuted with vigor a war
against a combination of politicians and
the underworld. He has caused some
of the Tammany leaders many unhappy
hours.
Because of the fear that Tammany
has of Mr.. Dewey it may be expected
that the organization-or what Is lett
of twill do its utmost to defeat him
for Governor. The organization, which
has no particular love for Presioenu
Roosevelt or Mr.. Farley, will go down the
line for the Democratic ticket this year.
So the Labor party and Tammany be-
come allies.
1t remains to be seen whether the
majority of the voters OF New York will
agree to the pocketing Of Mr.. Dewey in
accordance with the wishes OF Tammany,
of the American Labor party and of the
Roosevelt administration. 1t remains to
be seen also whether the American La
Dor party will be content to remain an
appendage to the Democratic party. That
is what it has been. except for its one
excursion into New York City politics
when it supported the La Guardia Dewey
ticket.

Ambassador Saito.

Hirosi saitos ambassadorship to the
United States. which dates from Febru-
ary. 1884, was never q bed of roses.
Japan seized Manchuria three years be-
tore and on one pretext or another was
spreading her tentacles into "China
proper" 1t came as no surprise to for
eign observers of this peaceful pene-
tration" when the North China Incl
dent outside Peiping In July, 1887, paved
the way to invasion and undeclared war
on nation wide scala conflict which
to Tokios dismay has lasted to this day,
with the end still far of.
Throughout this period 1t could not be
anything but extremely difficult for any
Japanese to represent the island empire
at Washington. American sentiment,
traditionally friendly to the Chinese,
crystallized overwhelmingly in their
favor when the plans of the Japanese
war lords to conquer China and destroy
its government could no longer be con-
cealed. AS the campaign proceeded,
with the capture Of great commercial
centers like Tientsin and Shanghai,
Toxic made it progressively apparent
that foreign interests in China, notably
British and American, had little to hope
for-indeed. everything to fear-from
Japanese domination of China
Then came the ruthless air bombings
Of Canton and other populous points,
with tragic effects on helpless civilians.
Soon afterward ensued the sack of Nam
king. accompanied by conduct on the
part OF the invaders that shocked the
whole world and which is likely to be-
smirch for long time the samurai es-
cutcheon and its vaunted ideals of chiv-
airy. American opinion of the war on
China, already whipped into bitter anti
Japanism by these various developments,
reached the elimination Of indignation
and resentment with the bombing of the
U. S. S. Panay last December.
During the year and quarter Of these
successive provocations Ambassador Saito
had a continuously embarrassing row to
hoe. He conducted himself at all times
with that dignity, patriotism and con-
scientious loyalty to his country to be ex-
pected from japanese diplomat of his
skill, tact and experience. The numerous
Washingtcnians who have enjoyed the
delightful hospitality OF Mr.. and Mrs.
saito and came to know them as friends
have no dificulty in believing that the
Ambassador had little sympathy with
the extremist political and military poll
cies of Japan; nor do they fail to UNDER
stand that on this account his influence
at Toxic diminished. He and his charm
ing family leave behind them here host
of well -wishers for their future we'll
being.

Urges U. S. Cooperation
In Quest for Peace.
To the Editor Of The Star:


To the Editor Of The Star:
CEVERAL years ago Hitler publicly
stated his plans to dominate Europe
by seizing the countries which he must
have" for the glory Of Germany. and
his program Is we'll on the way toward
accomplishment. All that can be done
to avert further disaster is now to set
up League Of Nations with teeth-a
league that means business and is not
afraid! Such league would not only
deter all aggressor nations, including
Japan, but might in time help greatly
to set up United States of Europe,
which, for at least so years, has been
the dream Of all world-minded people,
believing that to be the only cure for
national jealousies in the eastern hemi-
sphere-at least for Europe. AS long as
nations maneuver for prestige, for
wealth and position for themselves in
the family Of nations, so long will the
same jealousies, selfishness and hatred
which actuate individuals so often
characterize the dealings of the several
nations with each other.
A correspondent of the writer, in
England. remarks: "The English people
would stand up to Hitler and Mussolini
if they felt that it would really deter
them, but both dictators have shown
that they will not hesitate to fight and
it means certain war if threats are made.
If the United States had not backed
out of the picture all along 1t would be
very different now How plainly we
can see that!
THE only way out, now, is to hurry
some sort of international arbitration in
which the United States should take an
active part with the other nations.
'As the Versailles Treaty's unfair terms
made .Hitlerism possible, the thing now
is to show the people of Germany that
the people of the democracies WISH to
be fair to them. TAey would react &C
cordingly and. Hitler would lose out!
1T is very easy to urge. the fellow in
the path of the bull to fight when you
are safe on the fence! Why not help
the poor chap by trying to divert the
bull! There's no sportsmanship in with
holding help until things have come to
such pass and then to shout 'Coward!' I"
Since those lines were written, our
President did, Enthusiastically. try to
divert the bull" and no doubt his mes
sages to Hitler had some of their in
tended effect.
Now, let our country unitedly back up
the other liberal democracies of the
world by starting Immediately some
effective league for diverting aggressors
from their premeditated victories over
other peace-loving sister nations. 1t is
certain that every real American knows
that the freedom he holds as dear as
life itself must be at stake should force
run further amuck in Europe!
Let us join all other democracies in
trying other means-yet open to us-of
settling international difficulties.
