PATTERN 123 SIMPLE, CLASSIC SHIRTW WAISTER

No wardrobe is complete without at least one crisply tailored, classi- cally styled shirtfrock. For this long or short-sleeved style makes a smart companion for busy day of shop ping, working, lunching. Claire Tilden has designed Pattern 123 with special attention to shining, youthful lines and to easy making. Her reliable Sewing Guide that &C., companies the pattern gives you all the short cuts of dresSmaking. Each detail of this frock has a slenderiz- ing purpose. The yokeS that keep the shoulders so nicely smooth curve ever so slightly for flattery. They're deeply darted below, to hold trim the becoming bloused lines of the bodice, which are also gathered be- low into the waist seam. Both the optional long, narrow collar and the front buttoning add to the tall-and- slim effect of the dress. So does the well-planned skirt, with its double front and single back panels. Let the collar brightly contrast, if you like, and add the smart pointed pockets. Pin-dot rayon or a tubba- ble silk are fine fabric suggestions.
 Pattern 123 is cut in women's sig es 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, A, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 1-8 yards 35 inch.

The bureau described four weekly food budgets in a bulletin on Diets to Fit the Family Income" The budgets are designed to give house. wives a guide in adjusting the fam fly menu to income.
 The four plans were designed to meet the need for CD a restricted diet for emergency use; (2) min imum-cost adequate diet; (3) a mo- derate-cost adequate diet, and (4 a liberal diet.
 Range From $7 to SIS
 Costs of the four plans, for a family of four, would vary in dif- ferent parts of the country, but the average would be from about $7 for the cheapest diet to SIS a week for the most expensive, it was estimat- ed.
 "These plans are practical tested plans that have helped thousands of families" Dr. Louise Stanley, chief of the bureau, said. Each plan draws from the same 12 groups of foods, because this is the easiest and surest way to make a diet that is well balanced"
 These groups are CD milk and milk products; (2) potatoes and sweet potatoes; (3 tomatoes and citrus fruits; (4) leafy, green and yellow vegetables: (5) dried beans, peas and nuts; (6) dried fruits; CD other fruits and vegetables not in cluded in the foregoing; (O eggs: (0 lean meat, poultry and fish; (1O) flour, lard. vegetable oils, salt pork and bacon; Q1) sugar, jellies, jams, etc.; 12) coffee, tea, cocoa, baking powder, soda, vinegar, salt, spices, etc.

 For instance, wear Pink Lemon ade lipstick and nail lacquer dt's soft, rosy pink with deeper, lush pinks, pastel blues, gray, beige and preige. Wear Red Punch Ca vivid. rose-red shade) with dark gray, navy bright yellow, black and white.
 Wear Pink Lemonade blouse, hat, and gloves as well as lipstick and nail varnish with your brown suit. This frosty, but soft, pink is shown with brown by a smart Fifth Avenue speciality shop. and featured by cos. metics house.
 Golden Martini-lighter than am- Der, darker than lemon-is shown in gloves and scarfs to wear with olive green, Copper penny" black, brown and navy. With copper pen- ny silk suit and Golden Martini &C., cessories, slightly brownish-red lip stick and nail polish would be lovely. O, depending on your skin tones, of course, you might try dark, rich wine-red lipstick and polish.
 COSTUME LIPSTICK IN
 COSTUME COLORS
 Every woman needs at least one lipstick and harmonizing nail lac quer that are bright, but natural looking, and which can be worn with everything, of course. In other words shade which is similar to the shade her lips would be if they were natur- ally high-colored.
 In addition, however. she will want at least one extra lipstick, with har- monizing polish, which points up a specific costume. This shade may not be natural at all. She will think of it in terms of an accessory color. Even the most conservative experts agree that while rouge and powder should match natural skin tones, lip stick and nail polish may be chosen with costume colors rather than complexion tones in mind.

REMONSTRANCE FROM A
 MILLER


 Manufacturer of a fine whole wheat flour says my advice that every one should eat four ounces of wheat germ daily wouldn't be so bad if any one could eat that much wheat germ. To get away with that much wheat germ in a day a person would need the stomach of horse, the miller declares, and possibly the constitution of the devil himself.
 Come to think of it, I have never tried the suggestion on the dog, but have just assumed that because like to chew a handful of plain wheat or eat a handful of wheat germ it should be pleasant enough for anybody to eat a fair amount of either every day.
 But the miller insists that if one tries to eat four ounces of wheat germ without any of the remainder of the wheat, raw or cooked, the first ounce will convince him that he wasn't very hungry after ali. Two ounces of sound, fully devel- oped spring wheat, cracked and cooked in a double boiler after ad- ding a dessertSpoonful of pure wheat germ, and left in the cooker until morning, to be warmed up and ser- ved for breakfast, will give any one all the wheat germ he can take and likeit, the miller assures me. am indebted to Adele Davis, A. B., M. S., consulting nutritionist, for these practical suggestions as given in her books, "Optimal Health" and "Yau Can Stay Well":
 Wheat germ may be cooked three to five minutes and served alone as hot cereal, or can be added to any hot cereal. Wheat germ may be served raw with fruit, eaten as cold cereal, added to meat loaf. or taken in orange juice or milk. By replacing one half or more of the flour in any good recipe with wheat germ, you can make delicious hot cakes, waffles, nut bread, cookies, ginger bread and spice cake"
 "AS soon as told them that wheat germ was the cheapest source of the vitamin B complex and that it increased pep, pro- duced healthy appetites, normal digestion and steady nerves, MT. Taylor went directly to the flour mill and bought sixty pound sack. I think it cost about four cents pound. From that time on, Mrs. Taylor used wheat germ to replace one-third of the flour in making bread. It was delicious! always tried to plan my visits when that hot bread was coming out of the oven."
 Let me assure you, nutritionist Davis knows what she is talking about. At the same time there may be something in the miller,s obser- vation that if one eats much wheat germ without the remainder of the wheat ones hunger or appetite is appeased or satisfied with less food That is one effect of vitamin B com plex which enters into the regimen of physiological reduction given in Rules for Reducing" (for copy send twenty-five cents and stamped self addressed enyelope).

WOMAN,S REALM :
Young Girls And Their Mothers Both Will Like New Clothes Designed Just For 'Teen-agers
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Staff Writer

New York-American designers have put stop to the old mother and daughter feud as to what clothes are and are not appropriate for the 'teen-age girl.
 Results of the designers efforts are seen in collections chock full of day and evening tors which are youthful without being kiddish, sophisticated but not siren-ish, sometimes sweetly old-fashioned, but never Quaint"
 Miss F'urteen-year-ol and her mother both will like moderately full-skirted silk afternoon dresses with frou-frou jabots of organdy or chiffon scarfs to be tied in a huge bow under the chin.
 Deanna Durbin, guiding fashion light of "teen-agers" likes a sap phire blue print afternoon frock with square neckline and short puff sleeves finished with ap- pliqued bands of eyelet-embroid cred white organdy. The wide, set-in girdle of self material is trimmed with wood buttons and natural cord in peasant effect. WHAT TO WEAR
 AT JUNIOR PROM?
 For gala evening, young Deanna likes gown which is per- feet for an- Junior or Senior Prom. Of white crepe with short sleeves and covered shoulders, it has tulle overskirt which starts just below the hipline. Bands of hand -embroid- cred gold leaves, in diagonal pat tern, go around and around the figure from bosom to hipline, end in a stunning spray across the back.
 For a casual weekend dance or for special Sunday night buffet supper, Deanna has a floor-length dress which looks two-piece but isn't The top, cut to resemble a jacket, is of stone blue faille while the wide, flowing skirt of of multi color striped faille. The bodice is laced up the front with strings of the striped material.
 Also for dinner dances and buf- fet suppers Deanna has smart floor-length shirtwaist dress with white silk top and circular skirt of navy with white polka dots. Breast pockets of the dotted fabric are con- nected with the skirt by narrow bands. The bands create a subtle Suspender line.
 School days are sweater and skirt days, of course. When the weather gets too warm for sweaters, the chic high school girl will wear cotton blouses and skirts, shirt waist dresses of striped cottons, non-crushable pastel linens and rayon fabrics which closely re- semble linen.

Pursued by financial worries even in sleep! Dreaming often of the days problems is clearly warn ing to let up, to avoid a possible breakdown.
 But dreams also give warnings which we aren't so quick to recog- nize. Many dreams we dismiss as trivial or silly are really express sions of serious problems that we've thrust from our waking, conscious minds into the depths of the sub conscious.
 To discover these hidden prob lemS, learn to understand dream images and symbols.
 Dreaming of happy childhood scenes may mean that you are ma ladajusted to adult life, that you need to live more bravely. Or do you dream of mending a broken ob- ject? Such a dream implies you are secretly unhappy about some unworthy act, wish to make amends.
 A dream of being abandoned in a lonely place hints you desire popu- larity but are timid in your friend ships. Earthquakes indicate stormy emotions you'd do well to conquer. quer.
