Aregirdleswideand decorative, or so they insinuate themselves about our waists in the form of mere inch-wide strips? And what does our silhouette do then, poor thing? The answer — the answer to every question in regard to Fall fashions—is now at your news- dealer’s in the OCTOBER Fall Fashions Number PARIS, October 1, 1921.—When satin, stamped with bright colors, is brocaded lavishly with gold, and made into a gown trimmed with bands of mink and furthermore edged with gold it seems as If the dress- makers of Paris were “gilding re- fined gold” or “painting the lily.” And in truth there has been a good deal of “lily painting” In the mak- ing of the clothes for autumn. Vel- vets that we might consider rich enough in their own texture and colorful enough in one tone are print- ed in brilliant designs. Brocades are enriched by pearling of beads. The important thing, of course. is the result. If this sort of thing can be done without producing an_effect that is merely ostentatious well and good. If the simplicity needed to carry out the line of the frock can be presetved there IS no more rea- son to rail against these gold and fur-trimmed satins and velvets than against the gowns of the Italian Renaissance, studded with precious stones, wrought with gold, strewn with pearls, but still almost classic in_purity of line. Molyneux is one of the dressmak- who has been successful in handling rich fabrics richly trimmed. The popularity that this dress- maker has had with American women this summer has been because there was “nothing to leave off.” Also Molyneux's clothes have been cut on long, severe Anglo-Saxon lines. It is quite as important to know the pecu- liarities of figure of the American woman as to know her taste. She may admire a frock she sees worn a French mannequin, admire it immensely, only to find that she her- self looks grotesque in the same type of frock. That is always a wet blan- ket to one's enthusiasm. It makes the American woman in Paris yearn for | the home town dressmaker, even the dre ker that comes in by the day and gets her ideas from pattern mag- At least she knows what you or what makes you look like a figure in Mrs. Jarley's wax works. Molyneux has made something of a study of the requirements, both by way of taste and of figure, of the American and English woman.

Manufacturers probably have good reasons for these things, but don't you sometimes wonder: Why the felt insoles of bedroom slippers are always so sketchily past- (e, T they come out after a few wearings, often working out of shape so that it is_impossible to reattach them? Why makers of corsets always con- tinue the lace or embroidery trimming at the top over the eyelets so that it has to b pierced by the lacer point in lacing?

There { are few treatments more effective, than this for beautifying and improv- {ing the hair. Some people will tell you that it is necessary to use three to six eggs fori an egg shampoo. This is a_foolish. | extravagant waste in these expensive days. One egg is sufficlent for any ordinary head of hair, two eggs for even the thickest hair. Beat up the egs until it is quite | light, volk and white together. Rub| this into the scalp and cover the hair | as_thoroughly as possible. | Let it dry in. 1t will take thirty minutes or more | and it may feel rather sticky and| messy. The egg dries over the scalp and absorbs all the oil and dirt and grease and dandruff so that when you begin your shampoo you have no trouble in making the scalp abso- lutely clean. Every one knows that it is impossible to wash all the dan- druff from the scalp with a plain soap and_water shampoo. Wash oft the egg with warm water and any good mild_soap. castile or tar for preference. Use soap over the Rinse with water a little hotter than what you washed with and rinse again several times. It is not so hard to rinse the soap from the hair when you have first used an egg. If you can dry your hair in the sun so much the better. You will have a beautifully clean scalp and soft glossy air which will be benefited by the sulphur in the egg. M. W. T.: M. G.

Difficulties in the Way. Writes a spofled woman: «“I think you are entirely right in your stand against corsets, but there are difficulties in the way of putting your advice into effect, at least for one who has been wearing corsets for ten years, though it may be an easy matter for a young girl who has not yet adopted corsets. “For instance, you advise wearing for the support or foundation of one’s clothing ‘such a waist as is com- monly worn by children everywhere. The Ferris waist, I assume. I've tried it, and while I admit its comfort, still it allows my stoméch, or, more Prop- erly, my abdomen, to protrude rather prominently and spoil my appearance. Please, Dr. Brady, tell me if there is any sort of garment which will re- strain or reduce me just a_bit there without being harmful. How about the elastic girdles? I bought one containing four steels, two fore and two aft, then had cold feet and put it away in a drawer. “P've worn corsets twelve years, and when I wear none I feel fine, ex- cept for the difficurty mentioned. Twelve years of it would seem to be enough to spoil ulmost any woman. It taxes approximately ten years of artificial support with braces, casts, crutches, arch props, knee springs, corsets, belly bands, chest protectors, brassieres. liver pads, shoulder braces and the like to suppress or smother reason, instinct or horse sense which assures normal individuals that no such support is necessary. Once upon a time, when men were more gullible than they are now, and quack doctors were more brazen, a good many people were persuaded to purchase, at_a prodigious price, a contraption called an’ “electric belt,” which as- sured wonderfully strengthening and invigorating effects. Abdomens normally do protrude in healthy persons. The abdomen I8 a vitally important organ of respira- tion. It pumps air in and out of the lungs. A healthy woman breathes with her abdomen more than with her chest. Chest breathing is an abnor- mality, an artificiality, forced upon the civilized woman by her vicious custom of interfering with natural abdominal breathing.

How heavy should a man seventy inches tall and thirty years old be? I believe a man of that height and age who weighs over 200 pounds (fat, not muscle) cannot be perfectly healthy. Excessive fat must be a dis- ease, the result of various defects or ills. How wrong am I? (B. H) -Answer—You are not at all wrong. ‘The ideal or average weight for the man would be 168 pounds stripped. He may carry excess weight up to a total of 185 pounds and still get by with an insurance company, for in- stance. But when he mounts above the 190-pound mark he is headed for calamity in the form of heart, arterial or nephritic lesions. His excess weight is slacker flesh—overeating and lack of daily exercise. It is popular, for a little while, and then pitiable. The man you describe is past the danger zone. He needs vigorous treatment— diet and exercise. Somebody ought to treat him rough. Chicken Pot Roast. Select a young fowl and use, if pos- sible, a porcclain-lined or aluminum pot large enough to take it whole. Prepare the chicken as for roasting, dredging it thoroughly with flour, but rubbing the seasonings in thoroughly. A clove of garlic passed over the skin gites a delicate flavor. Melt two tablespoons of butter in the pot and put the chicken_in to brown, turning it constantly. In about fifteen min- utes, when a nice brown all over, add not more than half cup of water to the gravy, cover closely and cook over a moderate fire. Watch carefully,'for the water cooks away and must be re- newed frequently. Baste every fiye minutes and keep turning the chick- en. Allow about fifteen minutes to the pound and serve piping hot with a gravy made from the drippings in the pan. This chicken will be more moist and tender than oven-roasted chicken.

It is known as the smiling nag. In it the abused one becomes a little ray of sunshine. There is nothing more unnerving than to have some one going around being a little ray of sunshine when it's time the sun had set. You are left absolutely defenseless. You must bear not only the burden of your sin but a most unwelcome burden of gratitude for being forgiven, when you never asked for forgiveness. The little ray of sunshine often adds prayer to her beaming.
