WOMAN’S PAGE. THE Evening & Seunday Star 6(0c a Month Delivered by Regular Carrier PARIS, Octobér;3. 1021. Chiffon and lace blouses are dead— %o they say. Quite dead ‘as- far as fashion goes, but certainly 8ot gone, much less forgotten, so.far 48 women d numerically are concerned. Nothing that fashion has developed within a generation has so delighted the hearts of so many women, nothing that they can wear has filled them with such a sense of daintiness and well being—save possibly silk stock- ings—as _ chiffon and georgette blouses. It was a mode that was snatched in its infancy from the cra- dle of exclusiveness. CALL MAIN 5000 and the service will start AT ONCE the transparent chiffon or georgette and lace blouse for some time. Sim- gly. e was through with it. It didn't t"in the picture—moreover, it was too pbvious. What has finally taken its pgace among well dressed, French women is the blouse of silk tricot. For France has at last put over the garments of tricot that we. call jer- sey. She has tried for some time and now she has succeeded. Every woman wears them, especially the smart worsted tricot suits. 1f she does wear a skirt and jacket suit—which she doesn’t so often as we do—she wears with it a silk tricot blouse, which is much smarter than a crepe one. ‘This blouse may be long-sleeved or short-sleeved. The length of a sleeve is a stamp of nothing nowa- days save the taste of the woman who wears it.

No reply ca tioss. Address Dr. Willlam Brady, in care of Faith Without Works. I am often asked whether epsom salts, lemon juice and vinegar would reduce weight or take off superfluous flesh from this or that part of the palpitating, overnourished human frame. Invariably I have answered no, with variations, in reply to these queries. Many correspondents in- quire whether rubber garménts, cor- sets, massage and sweat baths will reduce slacker flesh. They will not. A fat man is a peculiarly patient, docile and non-irritable creaturs. Complacently he watches the growth of his corpulency and feels the insid- fous shortening of his wind—and his life—yet rarely does he get out and burn any of the excess off, and still more rarely does he cut down the al- lowance of fuel. Not he. He isn't bullt that wa; ‘When a man com- mences to grow fat, he first feels a little proud of it. He mistakes the rising paunch for a badge of strength or Vlgol“—ha confuses his belly with his chest, perhaps from faulty eye- sight. He keeps on eating to the verge of apoplexy and sitting tight— very tight, indeed. Not until it is too late does he slowly come to the realization that he is a gone dog. It is entirely different with the stout woman. A woman begins wor- rying about the loss of her figure be- fore there is any threat of a loss, so far as the expert eye can perceive. Scores and scores of women, yes, even married women (who, alas, no longer have the sense we formerly conceded to a woman old enough to sign herself Mrs.), have asked for ad- vice on reduction when, as a matter of fact, their weight was normal or even below the ideal. A great many obese women do, however, place too much stress on faith without works in this business of reduction. That accounts for the questions about salts, camphor, rub- ber tights, corsets, cucumber rubs and electric frying. ‘There are two possible ways to reduce abnormal flesh without injury, and generally with actual benefit to the health of the subject, and these are: (1)—eating less and (2)-rexer- cising mor Yea, there are three ways, for a few unfortunate victims of glandular Insufficlency, the third being glandular theraphy, that is, the administration of appropriate glandu- lar extracts or hormones medicinally by the patient’s own physician—there i8 no other safe way in which this ird method may be emp!

Quick Action as in Stories. I have a boy fourteen years old who had always seemed to have good health until two months ago, when he developed what the idoctor called acute Bright's disease. He seems to be progressing very slowly, and I feel as though I had given this doc- tor enough time—the doctor has in- sisted on keeping him off his feet all this time, and has kept him on a diet of vegetables and little salt—O. O. Answer—If the boy recovers in from four to ten months you should be grateful. From what you say I fancy your doctor is glving the best of treatment. 1If you imagine any doctor has a medicinal cure or other specific cure for acute Bright's dis- ease you are laboring under a ml apprehension. Sixteen. I am sixteen years old, five feet two inches tall, and weigh 129 pounds. Isn’t that awful? Please tell me how to reduce.—Doris R. Answer—Write me ain three years from now and I'll tell you, child, but I can't give you such advice at your age. Five feet two inches tall and 129 pounds weight isn't really so awful. Things You'll Like to Make. This dainty tea apron can be very quickly made. Cut the main part of the apron the shape shown at the right of the illustration. Have two- inch strips of the material picoted. You will need one and one-half times as much as the length around the shoulder straps and the circumference of the apron, plus the length of the two string ties. Shir the shield- shaped apron slightly at either side; Join it to the belt. Shir the ruffling and join it to the straps and apron.

Salt. Common salt, sodium chloride, is one of the essential constituents of the body, being found in every cell. Many fruits and vegetables contain a little salt; but the supply in the vegetable world does not meet the requirements of the animal world, and both animals and men must have salt added to their food. Salt star. vation produces death, more slowly than hunger and thirst, but quite as surely. KExcess of salt, on the other hand, is poisonous, very quickly and obviously in the instance of using salt water to allay thirst, but just as truly in many other cases of per- verted taste. The chief sources of oyr salt ‘are sea or other salt water and salt mines. Salt is readily soluble in water. ‘When vegetables or meats are cooked in salted water the salt solution, osmosis, draws out the various of the vegetables or meats, and t valuable salts are lost if the cooking water is poured down the sink. The food value of the cooked substance is in any case, much reduced. On the other hand, all good cooks main- tain that food cooked without salt{, and salted afterward is never evenly | salted throughout, and seems flavor- less. The _best way seems to be to add the salt to the cooking water just before removing the food from it. And most cooking waters, salt or not, but especially when salted, jhould certainly be used in soups and gravies. To prevent salt from lumping in damp weather, mix it with cornstarch in the proportion of one to six. (Oopyright, 1921.) —_— Gray and purple hats.

There are many little things a hongely or, at least, a not very beau- tiful girl can do to make herself at-| tractive. If only we all realized that prettiness s within our reach al- ways, that we need not be born beautiful, to be so! Here are just a few little hints about things we can all do to improve our appearance: We can have a clear, glowing skin. That is moderate health and absolute cleanliness, plus a little common- senge. A dry skin needs oils to feed it, an oily skin astringents; burned skins need ofls and bleaches; the “city complexion™ needs with creams as well as so water, and all complexions watchful care. We can have thick, glossy, live hair —this again is the result of continual care. Some inherit thin hair, but good care will improve even this, and the thinnest hair can be becomingly dressed. Again it is a matter of ab- solute, sanitary cleanliness, of nour- ishment if the scalp needs it, stimu- lation, encouragement. We can all have beautiful finger nails. And we need not trust to a professional manicurist, for the nails are absurdly easy to manicure at home. It takes a little study and a little practice. Then it is a matter of finding which shape of nail suits your finger best, and whether your nails need nourishment—some do, you cl. need see. Double Chin.—Persistence also ap- plies in ridding yourself of a double chin, but use astringents or ice on the skin to help it contract and harden, so there will be no flabbiness after the fat has been absorbed.
