It then became apparent to a good many of us that a very large propor- tion of women In this country were, if not color blind, at least sadly lack’ ing in a fine feeling for color har- es. They wore henna and pe- . henna and Lanvin green, purple and pencil blue. To be sure, those last-mentioned colors have been well combined but it assuredly takes the hand of an artist to do it properly. Well, just to save women from a reputation of being absolutelv lac in color discrimination the dre ers had to invent the ensemble id Only, of course, no one person in- vented it. It just naturally happened F many things do happen in fashion. And the dressmakers found it very profitable, because it often meant that a woman. instead of buy- ing a single fr . would buy a frock nd a4 scarf and a wrdap and a hat, or instead of buylng only a hat, she would also buy a belt and a pair of gloves, or Instead of buying a pair of shoes, she would come away with a handbag besldes And the ensemble portant as ever. There are far fewer color discords where well dressed women foregather than there were, { but they have by no means faded en- ‘lul'fi]) from the view. The sketch shows the costume that a very well dressed voung woman wore for tea at a fashionable hotel tearoom the other afternoon. It con- sisted of a bois-derose velvet jacket edged with gray squirrel and trimmed with silver buttons, a short full skirt | of gray cloth and a bols-de-rose velvet bat trimmed with gray squirrel.

HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1925. FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIBB! Food Speclulist. Most of us have had the experience of facing situations where the ques- tion of income and outgo has loomed very large, indeed. Sometimes it has been a matter of financial income and we have been forced to decide between “spending as we go,” with the dis quieting realization that we had no margin of safety, no sinking fund for emergencies, on the one hand, and “serimping” in our expenditures that we might roll up a modest nest egg on the other. Perplexing as this often is, there is another aspect of the income and outgo question that is even more tmportant. The adjustment of the food income to the energy outgo calls for metlculous care, and is, for that matter, closely connected with the matter of financial independence, since, without the good health that is the result of complete nutrition, we have scant chance of maintaining financial security:. To return to the safety margin in food. There is for each one of us what some one has called “the main- tenance diet,” that is, the average every-day dietary that keeps us to our normal weight and maintains us in normal health. With this mainte- nance diet once determined upon, our chief concern should be to reduce our food intake if we reduce our activity. It would seem to be only common sense to eat less if we exercise less but how wmany of us do it? Women who are anxious to achieve the fash- ionable silhouette, perhaps, but these often go to the other extreme and become “skinny and sullen.” For the most part we are prone to disregard the very direct connection between the quantity of food eaten and the amount of muscular exercise taken. 1f every one would lay fast hold of this simple principle and apply it to datly life, the need for obesity cures would dwindle very considerably. Just what individuals should adopt reducing diet? Flirst, those who are overweight for their sex, height and age. A variation of 10 per cent from the 3 standard is considered safe, so that one need not be unduly cast down over trifling variations from day to day, but should merely keep a weather eye on the average. Second, would some those who are fairly or quite near the normal, but who, for one reason or another, such as sedentary occupation, should be under rather than over the normal. Every one knows that the tendency is for desk workers to become what our grandmothers used to call “logy Tach hour that they sit still lessens their need for extra food, and light meals at least twice a day should be the rule rather than the exception. Then there are those who have some slight _disability, weak arches, for example. Surely it is easy to see tha a body light w is easler for these weak feet to ote around.” Third, we have the individuals who are suffering from some form of hes trouble or other circulatory dis- turbances. With these persons over eight constitutes a very real danger. e pressure of exc flesh on a weak heart may even cause death, and In the case of disturbed blood pressure, normal or even slightly sub 1 4.
