Newest Suits
Are trinity
Tailored
BY JOAN DEAN

CASUAL BUT not careless
are the newest costume suits,
with coats that follow mannish
fashions. How unusual this is
may be seen from one look at
other costume suits, all of which
have fancy coats. not to mention
the accompanying frocks.
But a coat that's simple and
plain as a mans raincoat-that
even comes in the same cloth
we'll, that's a decided departure.
And a welcome one for many OF
the gals about town.
NOT ALL the pretty lasses
who buy costume suits want
fancy ensembles. Many of them
are looking for a Manufactured

but a really well-cut mannish

possible.

the latest creation-a topcoat
that is so boyish as to differ
from a regulation mans topper

wooden fabric that's become a
leader in coats and suits.

IT MAY not be good for bust

debutante in a thousand who

that these shining tresses do

Do You Prefer Rich Desserts
Or a Good Figure?
By IDA JEAN KAN

THE NEXT time you are
puzzled as to why your weight
i, up, slip into a soda fountain
and take look at the custom
ers. The ones with the apple
dumping figures will be indulg-
ing in whacking portions of pie
a la mode or a banana split,
while those with trim, svelte
lines will be having fruit juice.
The difference in figures is the
difference in calorfes.
Rich connections are so high
in sugar and fat that they sup
ply an astonishing number of
calories. Pie or cake with ice
cream can count up to 100 cal
cries. Contrast that with the
rs or so you get in a fruit drink.

quota of these energy units.
Their figures show it.
A diet that is top-heavy in
desserts is very apt to be dam
gerously lacking in the protec-
tive elements. A woman who
has to count calories has no
business taking too high a per-
centage of them in dessert.
Substitute Fruit
One of the best slirnming rules
you could have would be to limit
yourself to fruit and cut out the
other sweets. The fruit supplies
vitamins and adds very few cal
cries.
But if you relish dessert more
than all the rest of the meal,
you can allow 300 calories for
sweets on a 1,200-calorie reduc-
ing diet. And you can still lose
one or two pounds in a week.
Make sure, however, that the
other 900 calories are in the
protective foods.
