WOMAN’S PAGE BY MARY MARSHALL. Don't imagine that women select tha new dual or reversible coats as ter a mat because they think that in this way they ecan produce tha effect of two coats at the price of one. of economy one day with the chipmunk showing and the next with the broadtall. So for a while. Then it must bacome obvious to the owner that the fur worn on the outside will leave a mark on a light-colored or delicate fabric when it is turned to form the lining. So eventually the coat is worn only with the broadtail side showing and the chipmunk becomes the usual lin ing. Still, these coats have gained many admirers, and there is a stvle about them all thair own. They are stralght and trim and have to he made ex-| tremely well 1o permit of being turn- | ed completely inside out if desired. | Thera Is usually a border of a third | fur showing on either side. | The Interesting thing about this new fashion In fur coats is that it made it debut four vears ago. Apparently we were not In the mood for fur coats that showed peltry on two sides. Now our mood seems to have changed and we not only admire thiz type of coat, but we buy them also. Sometimes the “dual” coat is fur on one side and leather on the other. A charming ex- ample is silver muskrat on one side with green lizard skin on the oth hoth sides being trimmed with dyed squirrel. Platinum American broad- tail forms one side of a dual coat that is gray leather on the other, both sides being trimmed with gray’ squir- re (Copyright. 1925.)

Next time it will be easfer.” When some dreadful old hore asks you to spend the evening at her home, don’'t stammer vour apologies. Just run over and chat with her as hard as you can.

If the wake up that henceforth none but proper foods should he eaten, what a healthy world it would be! Many foods enjoyed by our grand- parents bui now ignered by most of us would again grace our tables the other hand, certaln others en- joyed by our grandparents and still being eaten would be forever ban- ished. Eating is a sclence with compara- tiyely few adherents, as we, for the most part, learn to saL the foods set before us. Unless we arc fortunate enough to be bhorn of parents pos. sessed of food wisdom, we eat many foods that we shc ild not and leave uneaten many foods that we should eat. Dietitians write pages cach ¢ay in an effort to teach us the most <impie rules of correct eating. Doctors state without a blush that many more dle of overeating than of starvation. In- vestigators prove that at least 80 per cent of the pupils of some famous &chool or city are not properly nour- tshed. . Wars come and thousands of our young men are found to be physi- cally unfit because of early malnu- trition. Magazines continue year after year to preach correct eating. To what extent is the average American breakfast, dinner or supper table better balanced? In spite of the fact that we have corrected some faults, have we not developed others equally bad to take their places? Yet correct eating is a simple thing if we will but master a few salient facts and apply a few fundamental principles. To mention but one point by way of illustration, 1ake the matter of desserts, that portion of the ainner &0 dear to the hearts of vounz and old alike Old fashioned housewives wers wont to feel that, even after a hearty meal, they must serve the most substan. tial of desseris—suet puddings, pies with intricately heating fllings and the like.
