Two>Piece Suit Design
Popular This Season
Bv Barbara Bell

1t is a huge success-this original
version of the popular two-piece
dress which looks like suit which
is offered today in Pattern No.
1567-B. The feature which is max
ing it so popular is the gathered
treatment at the waist-with it, this
model has a fattering softness and
femininity which the strictly tailored
styles lack.
At the same time. here Is all the
youthful charm-the open neckllne
framed with collar and lapels, the
hip-smoothing length OF the jacket,
the straight, simple skirt with the
Jared hemline-which has MADE the
two-piece dress top fashion. In
such a costume you'll feel properly
dressed for the most formal OF Gay
time occasions. You can make IL
in silk crepes, rayon novelties or
misunderstanding to the limits OF
your clothes budget. .,

to call the plumber twice in the
last month and the water still flows
of very slowly. My maid thinks If
she could use a strong solution OF
some sort to clear the pipes several
times a week the water would flow
more freely. Do you know Of some
thing we could use that would ac-
complish that? F. S. B.
Answer-The best thing you could
do would be to have the trap
changed If you think 1t Is not oper-
ating correctly. However, it seems
strange that your plumber did not
suggest this If he thought it neces-
sary. I would suggest that you talk
with the plumber about his findings
and then instruct your maid in the
proper care of the sink. She may
be used to an apartment house
sink that will take care Of almost
any amount of grease and trash
and is trying the same methods on
yours. The standard drain solu-
tions which you may buy in the
stores are excellent for daily clean
ing purposes, but they will not clear
a badly-clogged pipe, and in many
cases might even aggravate the
situation. Clear up the root Of the
evil first and then use the cleaning
solutions daily.

comforting, indeed. but that he
hadn't lived around his wife all
these years without knowing that
pretty soon she'd decide Charles
Armour was better than Nettie and
go back to paying the same old
prices. That was when Mrs. Van j.
assumed an expression which could
only be called SNUG. Charles Ar
mour. too, she said emphatically,
has given up fabulously expensive
clothes. In fact. he saw the trend
to less costly fashions coming years
ago and began to make dresses and
suits that the department store
trade could purchase.
AS q matter of fact, almost all
the "bigwigs" Of fashion are be-
ginning to discover that the war
has made vast difference in their
clientele, as has the aforementioned
scarcity Of lavish fabrics. So,
they're designing just as lovely
things as ever, but emitting price
tags that look like the serial num-
Der on a typewriter. Not only do
most people feel q bit pressed on
the financial side, but they are
putting their money into Govern
ment bonds and they don't feel pa
triotic in a dress that cost $500
when they know they could look
equally chic in one for SCOTS. Take
evening dresses which have fallen
off amazingly in sales since Pearl
Harbor-women are Just too busy
and too war conscious to look Like
atter-brained butterflies.
Not, Of course, that they don't
insist upon new clothes and becom-
ing ones of good quality that will
last for the duration, but there's a
difference in today's buying
more sound reasoning and less ex-
travagance which will lead to better
clothes at better prices, many of
them designed by heretofore unac-
cessible designers. That over
worked word morale holds good in
fashions-women aren't happy when
dowdy-but there's more logic in
fashions today.
That, as we say, is what Mrs.
Van Jones told a somewhat sur
prised husband one evening after
dinner. He was mighty pleased
about 1t, too.

Wash the Bathroom Tiles

When was the last time you
washed down the tiled walls of the
bathroom? If you haven't done it
recently you are probably in for an
embarrassing surprise, because the
tiles are likely to be covered with
film Of dust that has been gum
med firmly to the glazed surface
by the action of the steaming bath
water.
The best way to remove this film
is by the simple soap and water
method. Fill a pail with good hot
suds, and wash the tiles with a
large sponge or soft cloth. When
all the stain has been washed away,
rinse the tiles with clear warm
water, and wipe them dry with
clean soft cloth. If the tiles are
given this treatment once a month
the cleansing can be done with
little effort. When left too long,
the removing of the dirt requires
the application of considerable elbow
grease.

Identify Towels

One way to identity the wash
cloths and towels of each member
of the family is to assign different
color to each person. One member

Answer-This is the most ef-
fective exercise have found: Stand
tall. Raise the arms forward,
shoulder height and shoulder width
apart. Now swing the arms down

swing them down and back turn
palms toward back of the room.
Continue raising forward and swing

2. What can I do for brown spots
on my face and neck? They are
not freckles but more like liver
spots. b. M. N.
Answer-This may be due to a
vitamin deficiency. This is best
answered by a recent letter from

Beauty Hints
Offered by
Actress
Exercise and Food
More Important
Than Makeup
By Patricia Lindsay

When Deanna Durbin travels. she
takes with her all the cosmetics
she uses at homeland carries them
all in her handbag!
Checking the contents of Deanna's
bag (Which Is not oversizeO on her
recent visit to New York during her
tour of Eastern Army camps, her
entire supply Of aids was found to
be a compact containing medium
peach color powder, a bottle of
liquid hand lotion, an emery board
to keep her nails trim between man
icures, q brow brush and an mex
pensive lipstick which she has dis
covered to be the most effective and
enduring for her lips. In addition
to these she carries in her suitcase
a brush with strong bristles, rat
tail comb, CASTLE soap and a fairly
rough face cloth. And that COM
pletes the list!
I know this will surprise many of
my readers for there is an opinion
that a real honest-to-goodness star,
such as Deanna, travels with
case ladened with beauty aids to
achieve the most ravishing results.
But remember, Deanna is still a
very young girl even though she is
a star, and she is sensible girl.
Deanna believes in using cosmetics
sparingly, feeling that natural
effect in beauty should be young
girls goal. Whether at home or
while travelling, Deanna safeguards
her skin loveliness through frequent
cleansings. She washes her face
with a rough cloth and soap, fol-
lowed by hot and cold rinsings.
When drying her face she rubs
hard to bring up the circulation.
Her skin does not react we'll to
any face cream or lubricant other
than the hand lotion she carries.
This she uses when her skin becomes
dry from change Of climate or too
many scrubbings!
The intelligent Miss Durbin knows
diet is important if one desires
lovely skin and figure, 50 she eats
regularly and we'll of great variety
of foods, and she gets proper rest,
recreation, and relaxation and ex-
ercise. She adores tennis, bowling
and riding with her husband,
Vaughn Paul.
Deanna seldom wears face powder
during the day-maybe bit If her
nose is shiny. At night, yes. No
rouge ever. Grooms her eyebrows
with small brush, does not pluck
them. Wears mascara only for
evening parties and then the lightest
of applications. She keeps her nails
well groomed by getting regular
manicures and is temperamental
about nail polish. Sometimes she
does not wear any, other times very
light or very vivid. If her hands
become chapped she rubs them with
camphor ice and wears cotton gloves
to bed. Most days her hand lotion
suffices.
Her advice to young girls: "I
believe exercise and good food are
more important to young beauty
than cosmetics!"
