- the compliment that you
will often hear when you
wear this very feminine
afternoon frock. The high pointed
waistline gives unusual accent to the
smooth midrif and the saddle shoul-
der above short, full sleeves adds q
wide-shouldered look that makes the
waistline seem even smaller. You will
enjoy this dress for afternoon bridge
parties, teas and luncheons. Make it
up in pretty rayon or silk crepe print
or in one of the sheer crepes that are
always popular at this season. The
neckline ties in big bow under the
china note that is very youthful and
very springlike.

Plan Winter
Vacation If
Possible
Best Way to Relax
Completely Is
Take a Trip.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

THIS is apropos the subject Of
relaxation, which We covered
yesterday. BY the way, I should
have mentioned that I have quite q
complete bulletin on the subject in
cluding special exercises for relaxa-
ton. II you wish this bulletin. merely
write for it, inclosing self-addressed,
stamped (3-cent) envelope.
The best way to relax completely,
mentally and physically is, Of course,
to take . vacation-a complete
change OF scene, of routine does one
q wealth of good. Winter vacations
are becoming more and more popular.
The five-day week Is not Is unusual
as 1t used to be and particularly dur
ing the summer department stores
and business organizations close for
the week end. AS result, many
young men and women feel that they
can get on without any summer va
cation, or with one week and leave
the other week for the winter. This
is very good idea. especially since
right after the holidays there's a
sudden let-down feeling. q reaction
from the buoyed-up spirit. To snap
out Of the doldrums, the best thing
one can do Is run away.
It IS customary for those who take
winter vacations to migrate-North or
South. Winter or Southern resorts
both have their attractions. Northern
climes have been calling more and
more in the past few years. Snow,
with its skiing and skating, is gaining
in popularity. Winter sports are
most invigorating, you come back
feeling fresh and robust and ready
for real work. A cruise to Southern
waters Is very restful, and lazy lolling
on the sand, swimming and summing
and summer sports instill q content
ment all their own.
Not the least thrill Is the assembling
Of proper costumes for North or South.
And the wise woman considers a
beauty kit as important to her en-
joyment as her clothes and acces-
pries. There are special travelling
kits fully equipped for the girl who
Is to swim and others for those who
ski. But. whether you buy an elabo-
rate carry-all or assemble your own,
the one preparation above all Others
is skin protective-an anti-drying
preparation for the South; an anti
chapping preparation for North. These
may be double-duty items, acting as
makeup base Is well. An eye lotion
IS another must" And don't forget
your goggles! They're just Is impor-
tant for snow as for sandl

Manners
of the
Moment

WE'VE decided that the thing we
Nv want most is pair of ear muffs
There are times when the noises
around the house have us practically
hysterical. And those are the times
when We think it would be lovely just
to sit down in big chair with pair
Of ear muffs on.
OF course, probably We could teach
ourself to pay no attention to door
bells and telephone bells if We just
put our mind on it. After all, we
don't answer them when we're out.
And there's no reason why we should
always answer them when we're in.
But, just the same, it's hard. We al
ways think the door bell might be an
important telegram not that We
ever get important kilograms, but we
always think we might. And we never
can quite resist the peal Of the tele-
phone bell
So we'll just have to get ear mufYs
for those times when answering bells
Is not on our schedule. Then we'll
be able to 60 about our business peace
fully and let the bells peal.

OF course, much depends on the
whims and fancies Of the weather.
for citrus fruits can't stand very
much bad luck.
In shopping for oranges, grapefruit
and 50 on there are few points that
have been brought out by the Bureau
Of Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture
that should help the buyer to pur-
chase intelligently. The bureau says:
1T isn't necessary for the shopper
to have wide knowledge of varieties
to select a good orange. OF course
its easy to distinguish a navel orange
because Of its deep orange-colored
skin and the indentation at one end.
"Valencias have thin skins and
are lighter in color. Often they are
greenish when fully ripe. They are
more oblong in shape than the navel
"A good orange of any variety is
firm with no soft spots. It's skin is
smooth, and the fruit seems heavy
for its size. Avoid fruit that is puffy
or bulged at the ends. Decay often
appears as soft, discolored spot on
the peel at the stem end Of the orange
Unless you watch for this especially
1t Is easily overlooked.
Some oranges are designated as
r,lsset because Of a rust-colored dis
coloration on the surface These
oranges are edible and some persons
even prefer them to others But such
fruit tends to wilt faster than Is
normal.
"GELECT1NG grapefruit is similar
procedure. Good ones are well
shaped. skinned, not soft, wilted,
or fiabby. They are heavy for their
size with no puffy or coarse skin.
Decay often appears in the stem end
just rs 1t does in oranges. Russetting
tn grapefruit is q reddish-brown or
reddish-yellow discoloration.
Citrus fruits are topnotchers on
many counts. But most important Of
all Is their vitamin Ca none too
common food element. Both children
and adults need supply Of vitamin c
every day, because the body cannot
store 1t.
"A lack Of vitamin c will cause
loss of appetite with loss Of weight
and fatigue. A greater lack will result
In a condition known as scurvy. To
prevent such deficiency diseases nutri-
tionists advise both children and
adults to get plenty Of this element
each day. For very young children
they make sure Of this by advising
orange juice or tomato juice every day.
Besides being an excellent source
Of vitamin c, oranges contain vitamin
B and little A. Grapefruit are also
an excellent source for c, and contain
vitamin B. The flavor of both these
fruits depends in some measure upon
the relative amounts of citric acid and
sugar they contain.
In recent years scientists have been
able to study more satisfactorily the
vitamin c content Of foods. For now
available to them Is q chemical tech
nique for assaying vitamin c that

sation at the Paris Exposition last
summer. M. Antoine, who is an
artist and sculptor, in addition to
being an outstanding creator of FEM
inine fashions in beautiful hair ar
sangements, has completely imbued
M. Muzet with his ideas and technique.
and it Is from NJ Muzet that we
have just learned some interesting
things about the why's and wherefores
OF the present upward trend in hair
styles.
Said M. Muzet: "A woman cannot
Gee the back of her head.s She does
not realize what a shapeless and
generally untidy picture it presents,
except for the first day or two after
she has had shampoo and wave.
But what about all the rest of the
days before it is time to have an
other shampoo" According to M.
Muzet, If the hair is properly shaped
IN the beginning. and then given the
necessary body by means of care
fully administered permanent wave,
the coiffure should remain intact and
good to look upon from any angle
until the next shampoo.

THIS would seem to be the very
pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow. and as hard to accomplish
as finding that cleaning treasure.
But, according to our authority, it is
not so difficult. The prime requisite
seems to be dash of strong American
courage that will pry women loose
from the same ideas about hair styles
that they have been clinging to for
several years past. In point, We refer
to the page boy bob so beloved by
the younger crowd. and similar very
long, almost shoulder length hair-dos
that. unless beautifully done and con-
etantly recombed. are apt to present
q rather distressing appearance be-
tween the hat and the collar OF a
winter coat.
M. Antoine and his representative
plead with the American women for
little less conservatism and a little
more art in the matter Of their coif-
fures. Why wear the hair so long,
why hide the natural contour of the
head, why be afraid to show the lovely
line of long, graceful neck if you
have one. or to create the illusion of
a longer one if your neck is too short?
Why be afraid to try a new hair
style that is definitely smart, with its
upswept lines swirled into place to
suit the features of the individual?
We are all so accustomed to the COM

the Bureau Of Home Economics
made tests Of many citrus fruits. Not
only did they test oranges. lemons,
lines and grapefruit, but they also
experimental with some Of the newer
citrus hybrids being developed-the
tangelos, tangors, orangequats and
limequats.
I'm oranges, for example, expert
ments have shown that there are sig
nificant differences in the vitamin c
content Of oranges Of different varie-
ties. But there are also differences in
samples Of the same varieties. Often
times these simple differences are
greater than known differences due
to variety.
so the homemaker who goes to
market needn't wonder which variety
to get as far as vitamin c is concerned.
For it may be that whichever she buys
there will be greater differences
among the single oranges in a dozen
than in any two varieties she might
buy.

heat. But there are scores Of ways to
use grapefruit and oranges to get the
most Of their vitamin c. Half q
grapefruit or glass Of orange juice
has become classic breakfast first
course. Both oranges and grapefruit
appear in fruit cups, salads and gela-
tin dishes.
There are other uses for these
fruits where flavor is most important.
Orange juice is used as the liquid in
drop cookies or added to cake icing
for flavor Both grapefruit and oranges
are excellent for marmalades.
"The flavor and color of the outer
rind, the pectin in the white part Of
the rind and the acid in the juice
all contribute to make the perfect
marmalade. Naturally, the best time
Of year to make supply of MARINA
lade from oranges and other citrus
fruits is at the time when they are
most abundant and have their best
flavor"
