Style Chats

Paris (UP) Already smart Parish ans are appearing on the boulevardS clad in stunning tailleurs worn without coats. The jackets of their suits are decidedly longer than last year, reaching at least 6 inches be- low the hips. The two most promi- nent colorS seen are turquoise blue and strawberry red.
 Velveteen is the fabric of a cut away front jacket trimmed with wide bands of braid on the lapels and hem. Extremely goodlooking is a fitted grey jersey suit with the new long jacket and oblong revers The plaid hose matching the plaid scarf attracted much attention from strollerS.
 Tweed woven in the turquoise blue and strawberry red shades forms the severely tailored en- Semble worn with a mans soft felt turquoise hat trimmed with a band of red groSgrain ribbon. Very prac- tical is the idea of buying a tailored suit of this tweed and another suit of solid color and making up number of ensembles with the two jackets and skirts.
 Quite a few of the suits seen are collarlesS and trimmed with three rows of buttons all the way down the front. Also unusually attractive are the tailored vestees in contrast ing colors.
 One smart brunette wore a striped green suit with a strawberry red veStee and yellow scarf tied into gay artists knot. Her off, the-face straw hat was green, trim med with long red and yellow quills.
 Two stunning trouSer suits have jackets of turquoise blue. Thick fringe covers the epaulettes, lapelS and pockets of one, as it's only con- cession to femininity, while the other has four patch pockets edged with narrow ruffling.

We found the correct answer, and played the trump four, which forced the jack out of dummy. This gave East his trump trick, and West later was to able to win a diamond trick.
 East did not know that his part ner could take even one trick, but nothing could be lost by the at tempt to force him to ruff, and the plan was much more likely to suc- ceed if he led a low club rather than Q high one.

thirty.
 If you follow in the footsteps of the average topnotch Hollywood star-to whom beauty is so valuable an asset-you'll take long walk or play a game of some kind once day, and, in addition, do pos- ture, limbering and stretching ex- ercises every morning. For more at- tractive nails and hair, you'll drink quantities of calcium-rich orange juice and milk, and eat more vege- tables, salads, fresh and stewed fruits than rich pastries, heavy starches and the like. You'll sleep at least eight hours every night. And if you get much less sleep than that one night, you'll go to bed ear- Her and sleep nine or ten hours the next.
 You'll always be scrupulously clean from head to foot, of course. You won't brush your teeth in hit or miss fashion, and you will see your dentist at least every six months.
 You'll buy the right makeup for your complexion, practice getting it on quickly and correctly. You'll be even more conscientious about yearning to stand tall' with chest high, backbone straight, stom- ach flat, weight evenly distributed on both feet.
 Clothes Are Important, Too
 You'll have one beauty prepara- ton to correct whatever complexion defect you have. Besides 1t, you'll have only a few, well-chosen items, but these will be applied regularly and with utmost care.
 You'll take good care of your clothes, too, keeping them pressed and clean and seeing that they really fit smoothly Whether you have two dresses or twenty, no one ever will catch you looking even slightly dowdy. When you have made up your mind to achieve the kind of glowing health that makes for attractiveness if not actual beauty, you will have the energy and find the time to keep your clothes nice enough to enhance even more your trim figure, shin- ing hair and sparkling eyes.
