PiqMe Pick-MpS For Dark Dresses

New York. March 27 There's nothing like white piQue to lift the spirits Of dark dresses or suits and give them an extravagantly imprac- teal look without any of the penal- ties.
 Two striking examples of how it picks up the most simply styled ensembles shown here, are from the spring collection of Nicole de Paris. Typical of her are for combining the dramatic and prac- tlcal Is the navy wool coat dress uefD with banded cuffs and wide p.que revers, which are buttoned flat and tied at the waist.
 Beneath the coat is full-length "dickey" anchored in place with tie strings at either side of the waistline which is as easy to launder and press as a handker- chief The Super-Size beret with red and green cross bars is also oi pique.
 Novel as 1t Is new Is Nicole's slim lined black wool cashmere dress trighD with the ends of its starch eu pique folded collar caught under wool tabs as 1t containues down the front to end below the beltline in loop ends. Its untrimmed jacket fastens under the loops to leave the pique completely exposed. Though the collar looks quite complicated, Nicole says 1t can be unsnapped in a jifiy to be doused in basin of suds and attached again just as easily

in and out, and for mons to wash and iron--if they are to click with mothers. If they are to make hit with the youngsters, they must be charming to look at and exciting to wear
 Qualifying on all counts are the two spring styles shown. At left is a peasant dress of picture-book charm. Made of plaid gingham and gaily accented with peasant raid at neckline and hem of skirt, its waistband fastens with draw string tie. Underneath is a match ing sun suit individualized by gay heart shaped pockets, piped as is the dress, with bright turkey red.
 The little green linen-type spun rayon dress at the right owes its picturesque charm to a money belt trimmed with contrasting motifs adapted from an Huichol Indian de. sign The red and yellow pipings, like all of the gay gimmicks used by this designer, are nailed down to eliminate ironing board hazards.

New York.-What give small l-fry fashions a Grade A rating today arr styles which satisfy little girls love of fun and excitement and their mons pleas for sturdy frocks that ease the laundry load. If. in addi- tion, little-tot fashions can survive several generations" of active chil- dren without being regarded as hand-me- downs, they're something to shout about.
 Because New oYrk's Mariska KarasZ creates such clothes, shes been cited in the book Fashion Is Our Business" as one of 12 Amer ican designers who have made out standing contributions.
 While jogging out her own two small daughters at home, Mrs Karasz developed talents which she turned into profitable custom made business From first-hand eX- perience she learned that littla clothes must be sturdy and easy to handle-easy for youngsters to get

BEAUTIEs' HINTS
 Cold Water Will Set Nail Polish
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Good iemper-saving trick, If you can't bear to be rendered help less by flock of freshly -lacquercd nails. is to dip your fingertips into a basin of cold water, which sets polish. cuts drying time in half.
 Vouchipg for this is radios Mary Mason--star of "Srtange Ro- nance of Evelyn WiIuters'-who warns you to fan nails dry after dipping them in the basin. Wiping them dry is likely to leave imprints of the towel on your nails.
 Another tip from Mary is to keep your nails away from face and hair before polish goes on. The slightest bit of oil drawn by nails from hair or makeup, she warns, can make polish buckle and put another strain on temper.

WE, THE WOMEN.
-WE, THE WOMEN--- Reunion By Questionnaire Is Just As Satisfactory

And 1t ought to be just as sat- isfactory as a real reunion. For the reason women really go to them Is to look each other over, and then go home feeling satisfied because they haven't let themselves go like Ethel" or become dull like Mabel, /" or "crisply efficient like Doris,' who has a high-powered career.
 AS GOOD AS REUNION
 They can do just as much com- pairing by sitting down and study ing the answers to the question: naire. Of course they'll discount some of the answers Whith If Susie doesn't have single gray hair, I'll bet she is having 1t touched up Or, Liz puts on good front, but I'll bet she isn't as happy as she lets on--married to that Jim Smith who always had rowing eye But then they would do that if they saw each other in person.
 Of course it should have been compulsory for a recent snapshot to have been attached to the ques- tionnaire not a studio portrait but an honest snapshot. Ard to give each of them the right to fec the years had been kinder to them than to some of the others.
 Then the questionnaire solution would have been fully as satisfac- tory as a reunion.

 fered from lack of certain essential vitamins, even though they have had an adequate amount of food.
 There is evidence that malnu- triton is @ vital factor in the in- cidence and course of tuberculosis. Studies have shown that tuber- culous peasons especially need a diet that is high in vitamins A and c, proteins and minerals. The requirements for vitamins A and c are so high that 1t is difficult to provide them in the diet. Some physicians meet this deficiency by prescribing a cod liver oil and tomato juice cocktail" as sup elementary food.
 The tuberculous person needs more protein than the healthy person because of it's value in the rebuilding process More fat is also neded. not only for it's energy value, but also for the fat soluble Wtamins 1t contains. NEED VITAMIN B
 Although all vitamins are prob ably needed in greater amounts by the tuberculous patient, there Is scientific data to prove the need for vitamins A, c and K. It is be- lieved that lack of vitamin B may be responsible in part for the feel ir.P of exhaustion experienced by the tuberculous person.
 Minerals and calcium are eS- pecially important in the healing process; iron is needed for blood building
 Doctor Getz says the proper diet must be high in the essential foods and low in carbohydrates
 If you do not know what the essential foods are, ask your doc tor or the local health depart ment to give, you list of foods tha will provide the necessary Vitamins and minerals.
