Cotton underwear Is better than

Smart Audience
Favors Purple
For Evening
BY ELEANOR GUM

New York-One does not, for
tunately. have to be born to the
purple in order to wear 1t. but pur-
pie indicates aristocracy and Is one
Of the ultra refined" colorS greatly
approved by the upper crust. so to
speak.
At a recent opening Of one Of the
smarteSt plays Of the year. the au-
dience turned out In purple. not to
a man, but in overwhelming num-
bers considering the style signifi-
canoe Of the women who selected
it.
The newest looking gown was a
slender purple crepe with q double
ruffle cascading from waistline to
floor. center front in this instance.
Another was q dinner suit Of
matelasse crepe-very slim, with q
long torso jacket embroidered In
pink and blue baby ribbon. This
attractive outfit was topped with
"minaret" turban Of purple Jersey
A three-quarter length mink coat
completed the costume. worn with
wrist-length pink kid gloves.
A purple chiffon gown with
jacket OF gold and red lame was
one that combined the two favorite
colors Of this season. and q bag
of the metallic fabric was carried.
Glimpsed under mink coats we're
two other heavy sheer violet gowns
with slim skirts.
One takes mink coats as matter
of course since they outnumber all
others at every hour Of the day and
night, relieved by an occasional
sable. a fur which. like mink. Is q
perfect complement to purple.
There are endless green and mink
costumes and some mink with the
dusty pink of last winter fame.

In less time than q month. but the
Improvement, as 1t comes. will Be
lasting. Anyway, try the following
suggestions faithfully and see II
your hair hasn't q lovelier sheen.
your skin q more radiant color and
finer. smoother texture. your eyes
. brighter. clearer look.
The suggestions are simple. %
simple you'll probably say that you
do all those things already. But do
you really? Be honest with yourself.
Just doing them some Of the time
doesn't count for much.
Drink Lots Of Water
First, drink at least three glasses
Of water daily In addition to the
fruit juices and milk that should b
q part Of your diet. You know you
can't depend on your instincts to
guide you In this. You get out Of the
habit Of feeling thirsty after awhile
and the system actually becomes
dehydrated. Dull eyes. withered
skin. faulty elimination all spring
from this cause. You especially
need water II you are reducing.
II your skin Is dull and blemished
now. consult q doctor a. soon Is
possible. Ask him to prescribe .
laxative II you need one to help you
eliminate body wastes and begin 1t
once eating more naturally laxative
foods. More fruits. raw and cooked.
dried fruits like figs. dates, and
prunes. honey. cereals and vegeta-
bles. especially the leafy ones. are
laxative In effect as well as rich In
vitarnins and minerals. Drink to-
mato and fruit Juices with your
meals. Chill and drink the liquid In
which you cook your vegetables
you can substitute q cup Of this
for one cup Of water). Have Q big
raw vegetable salad or fruit and
cottage cheese salad for luncheon
with an oil and lemon dressing.
Drink pint Of milk daily. This
Is q perfect beauty food" as 1t fur
nishes the calcium the body needs
to keep teeth and nails In good con-
dition and blood vessels sound.
Plenty Of Sleep
As part Of your beauty-building
routine. get nine hours sleep at
night. We work under such tension.
play so hard when we have an OPP
portunity to play and stay up so
late for our parties that We exhaust
our vital forces. and play havoc
with our nerves. Try to get to bed
even earlier at least one night q
week II you are highstrung. One
month Of getting to bed early will
work miracles In smoothing out the
lines around your eyes and mouth
and will give you q new slant on
life.
Be more faithful In following the
routine Of cleansing. softening and
toning your skin. Be regular In your
mauicures. shampoos and brushing
treatments. You'd be surprised at
how little you have to do to get
gratifying results when you're
working with a background Of i'm.
proving healtl, and adequate rest.
Make a study Of your coloring
and see II the old makeup you
have been using Is suitable. Check
up on technique. too. and see II
you should experiment with q new
foundation that will give q more
lasting and more natural makeup.
You may find that as your skin
naturally clears and improves you
will need q foundation that Is light
er In texture or more delicate In
tone. You may need . clearer or
roster lipstick and little or no rouge.
You may feel like dramatizing your
sparkling eyes with q subtle touch
Of makeup.
