This is a fact to which you may at- tach considerable significance. When peace came and every one interested |in the production of clothes was casting about for a_suitable color to express the joyous fact that the war was over, it was a clear, bright shade | of rose or red that seemed always to win out against the blues and greens that were suggested. But though these rose shades were looked upon as the color of victory they did not become predominant. But now the psychological season for red and rose scems to have ar- rived, and some one has suggested that this may, after all, really go to show that red is the color of vic- tory and peace; that the reason why it did not appeal to feminine taste before was because the shadow of the war was still upon us. Though we tried to get back to the norm of ante-bellum days we feit the gloom of the war. Consequently we wore brown and black evening dresses. They were sometimes predominant even at victory balls. For Evening. One reason, perhaps, that real rose and pink shades have not been more apparent in evening gowns is be- cause of a rather widespread feeling that our shades of red or pink must contain a_considerable admixture of yellow to be becoming in the evening. Hence the salmon pinks and flame colors that have pushed ahead of real pinks and rose shades. This may, perhaps, hold good for THE SKIRT AND SHOULDER DRAP- ERY ARE OF ROSE-COLORED | CREPE DE CHINE, WHILE THE | BODICE IS OF FLESH-COLORED TULLE AND PEARLS. upon the fact that red and shades of yose have appeared again in the clothes offered by the French dress- makers at the spring openings, but that French women of all classes are women of certain complexions. But then there are some women who can wear real pink or rose better than they can wear flame or salmon. The sketch shows a new frock of Paris production, made with a drap- ed skirt of rose-colored crepe de chine, looped on the right hip, with an underbodice of flash-colored tulle with pearls. BY M. JE IE LEITCH. ‘Why We Use Soap. It was in a big dressing room in a farge depot. A number of women were chatting in friendly fashion as they brushed their young daughters’ curls and applied soapy wash-cloths vigorously to small boys' necks. “I never allow my children to use soap,” said one woman, watching the little woman from Texas who was lathering her small son’s face and meck generously, in spite of his di T think it ruins the skin basin to clean his teeth, smiled at the litle girl. “My boy’s skin has always been well stimulated with cold water,” she said. “After the warm water and soap 1 think that cold water increases the resistance of the body to colds and winter chills.

I am not saying this by way of encouraging any of my stout friends into remarking that they hardly eat a thing, but that they just go on getting fat anyway. The overwelght woman is perfectly safe in assuming that she gets all the fat out of her food and that, therefore, her solu- tion in avoiding more fat is to eat less food. But the problem of the thin woman is quite different. She can't always t more food. If she does she won't digest it. Sometimes it happens “that problem by eating less. The thin women must solve her problem by di- gesting more. She will have to find out why she isn't getting the bess out of her food. It may be that she is too nervous, & condition that will set | up fermentations and pofsons inside the system which will be very bad for her. It may be that she is ner- vously “on the go” all the time. In this case, she will have to force her- self to rest. It may be that she is worried, one condition almost impos- sible to cure. But most thin women worry over a great many things that are not worth bothering about.
