WOMAN'S REALM
Clarifying
Yourself

NEA Service Stair Writer


We're in for a whole era OF light,
bright, vital colors. SO it behooves
us TO get acquainted with color -
a subject about which women feel
more, and possess less exact infor-
nation, than about almost any
other important factor in dress.
Rosira Mcdowell Lynn, director
of the Mcdowell School OF Co.'S
tune Design, has some sound obser-
vations to make about color, based
upon her own broad experience.
yellow in its usual intensity is
| lightest, most luminous Of the basic
colors," she says, and therefore it
is not easy to combine with others.
However, if it is soft, even dull in
value, it can be delightful in COM
binations. For instance, buff will reg
lister as quite yellow when used with
others. However, if it is soft, even
dull in value, it can be delightful in
combinations. For instance, buff will
register as quite yellow when used
with contrasting colors.
BEIGE FLATTERS
NATURAL COLORINC
Among the many tones Of beige,
any woman can findaa flattering
color. 1t brings out all the natural
color and glow in the complexion
and sets off markings.
bright orange of medium value
makes becoming evening costumes
for clear skinned brunettes. 1t may
serve as an enlivenirg touch in the
costume of gay or White-haired
woman.
Blues are the opposite of orange
in the circle, which means
they contrast intensely. Green is
difficult to wear, but makes a fiat
tering contrast when selected in
just the right ir tensity.
Red, too, must be chosen with
special consideration to individual
coloring. Medium light reds of
yellowish cast-tomato, flame, coral,
paprika-are the best for blonds
and demi-blonds. Brunettes have
choice of the medium or medium
dark reds.
An olive skin with some color can
be enhanced by yelloWWish reds.
Blue-eyed, white-skinned brurettes
will find pure unmixeo reds and
blush reds becoming Auburn hair
blends well with rich brownish reds
often seen in tWeeds, and lighter
yellow reds in sheer fabrics will be
becoming to this type"

Household Hints
Free Hungarian Women's Unit
Promises To Show The English
Some Pretty Snappy Uniforms
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
(NEA Service staff Writer

London-A great number OF
women are unconsciouSly allergic to
the wearing of uniforms of any
kind. They realize that only the
slim, streamlined silhouette can look
alluring in it. Girls with an innate
dress sense can impart a certain
flair even TO a khaki tunic and
sack-line skirt or factory dungareea
and mobcap, but the remainder re-
alize, sometimes with chagrin, that
an issue" uniform just emphasizes
Indifferent figures.
There is no reason at all why
women's uniforms can't be made
snappy, trim, and practical at the
same time. If the Free Hungarian
Women's unit is formed here, as
planned, they will prove the point.
Instead Of dressing woman up IL
mannish garments, why not adapt
them to her figure?" say the people
who are responsible for the idea.
They will lose nothing in efficiency
and gain great deal in elegance.
Thus a swinging, divided skirt
topped by semi military tunic will
replace the ordinary skirt and Ill
tra-masculine coat now worn. In
stead of the drab cotton stockings.
(khaki, black or grey-blue), knee
high, canvas-legged boots will be
worn.
For certain duties, instead of
Stacks, a feminized version of the
battle-dress somewhat reminiscent
of ski-suit. A greycoat nipped-in
at the Waistline with slightly flareG
and shorter skirt, double breasted
and belted, will look neat and be
flattering to most figures.
The Hungarian boW-knot is to be
the insignia of the unit, while pi-
pings in bright colors, denoting
ranks Woul decorate patchpockets,
epaulettes, sleeves and forage cape.
FREE HUNGARIANS
ANXIOUS TO JOIN
Free Hungarian headquarters here
declares that there are over 300 Of
the 1900 Hungarian women living
in England who are anxious to form
the first unit of Free Hungarians.
Fifty are already in training to be-
come officers and it is hoped even
tually to incorporate them in one of
the British Women's services.
Over forty Hungarian girls living
in the United States who had read
of the formation of the women's unit
have written in to London head
quarters asking whether they could
join and how to get to this country.
Now that the war has spread to
America, it is likely these girls will
offer their services to their country
of adoption, but it is amusing to be
told that all of them asked detailed
questions about the uniform and
were eager to know whether they
would be compelled to wear those
drab cotton stockings" The knee
high boots are a perfect solution to
such problems as these.

Dehydrated Meat Proves
Satisfactory in Tests

Dehydrated beef and pork which
can be turned into satisfactory ham
burger patties or meat loaves sim
ply by adding water and cooking
have now been produced at the Uni
versity of California college of agri-
culture.
Six months of tests went into pro-
duction of the dehydrated meat
which may soon be adopted by the
army and navy. The tests were
carried on by DR.. Agnes Fay Nor
gan, head of the home economics
division, and Dr. Betty M. Watts,
instructor in home economics. They
were under the sponsorship of the
Federal Bureau of Home Econom-
les and in cooperation with the
Western Regional Research labora-
tory in Albany, Calf.
The beef and pork were ground
and dried raw. Dat flour was added
to prevent the meat from turning
rancid. Several problems still re-
main to be solved, according to Drs.
Morgan and Watts, even though The
ground meat is very satisfactory.
Chief among these problems is that
of drying large cuts of meat, such
as roasts and steaks, and of deter
mining the minimum water content
the dried meat should have.

Blue Light Is Go Signal
For Insects, Amber: Slow

AS a red light is a warning of
danger to humans, so, instinctively,
peshferous night insects slow their
approach at q red light. While
green is the signal for people to 60
ahead, blue calls the midges to their
highest degree Of activity. These
are two Of the conclusions Of ex-
perimental work carried on during
the summers Of 1910 and ls41 by
the Ohio agricultural experiment
station In cooperation with an cleo
trical company in determining what
attracts the insects and how to mini
mize their numbers.
Since people ordinarily use neither
red nor blue lamps for illumination,
the effects Of more usual mediums,
white and amber, were studied. II
you Light your porch with amber
light instead Of the ordinary inside
frosted white bulb. you will be both
cred less as you read the evening
paper, for an amber light, of equal
candlepower and brightness to a
white lamp, will reduce the number
OF insects attracted approximately
so per cent.
A bare, bright lamp will extend
the most cordial invitation to the
tiny insects to fly through the
meshes of the screen and enjoy a
free meal at your expense. The
danger of being "eaten up alive"
may be minimized too by using a
reflector on your lamp, or by using
a protector type lamp.
