WOMAN'S PAGE. Colorful Use of Black and White BY MARY MARSHALL. An artist may speak of a certain drawing as possessing much color, Wwhile the uninitiated observer looks emazed to see only the marks of black ink on white poper. If artists can achieve “color” merely with black {»encll. charcoal or ink on white paper, hen we might fairly consider some of the black and white costumes we see ©8 being quite colorful. Sometimes they become too colorful, and then we mix our metaphors and call the effect loud or noisy.

There is some- thing rather sophisticated about the black and white design that is not embellished with a bit of red or green or blue or orange. There Is also some- thing rather sophisticated usually about the woman who chooses an all- white costume. Even when the effect is a trifle extreme and runs the of being considered loud, it is at lea sophisticated. Certainly nothing w ver less appropriate for half mourn- ng than some of the black and white costumes that _ you might recall, and so, wisely enough, the custom of combining black and white for the latter stages of mourn- Ing is passing.

You know how particular she is about that. Don’'t forget. And be on time.” This last admonition had to be shouted after Bud, who wu { ¥ down the path to th . right, Mom.'

In smoky cities black, like other dark colors, has the advantage of not show- ing the marks of grime and soot. But the black and white costume has no such advantages. It is almost as impraeticable as all white and de- mands as much attention if it is to be worn successfully. White gloves and a white boutonniere give to the black costume an air of jauntiness; they also add a note of expense, because they must be refreshed frequently. The sketch shows a neat black cloth suit—practicable in itself, but rather impracticable and luxurious when worn with an overblouse of white satin. (Covyrizht. 1926.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

You might be dead in the bottom of the river for all we knew. Now you hurry along here.” When you want a child to remember what you tell him, first make sure that vou have his entire attention.

C, EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Daily Talks on Diet The Right Food Is the Best Medicine ‘Why Be Overstout? I have just seen a number of adver- tisements offering massage, baths, re- ducing creams, “easy treatments” as various means of losing excess weight. These methods lay great stress on the fact that no harmful drugs are em- ployed. They claim the patient can reduce without drugs, exhausting ex- ercise or annoying inconvenience. Of course, the mere matter.of a fee of $3 or $4 a treatment would not be an inconvenience. That would be & pleas- ure. To pay $35 or $40 for beauty would be cheap, indeed. And how simple the program. In one system the overstout can take the treatments lying on & sSoft, comfort- able couch, either reading a magazine or taking & nap while some mechani- cal device exercises his voluntary and involuntary muscles. In conclusion, this system claims the elimination of poisons, improves circulation, im- proves the complexion and gives a feeling of health that adds zest to the ordinary pleasures of life. But they are too canny to claim they will Sze permanent weight reduction. 1 dently the victim pays and pays. ugs are condemned as harmful. ‘With this we heartlly agree. No drug of any kind should ever be taken without the advice of a physiclan who is prescribing for a particular ailment. The fact that the doctor gave you a prescription in 1924 is no reason it will benefit your condition in 1926. Violent exercise is condemned as dangerous. ‘That is true. An over- weight who is flabby and who has been inactive for some time would be doing a foolishly dangerous thing to undertake strenuous exercise. The heart might rebel and call a general strike. Diet is condemned. The pamphlet claims that if the diet is reduced to an amount where flesh will be lost, weakness will result; that if the diet is severe e“ouxh to.reduce weight, the skin will be left wrinkled and hanging In folds. ‘The pamphlet acknowledges that a scientfic, well balanced diet under the direction of a competent physician will help, “but that alone cannot pro- duce the desired result.” The thing to do, the pamphlet claims, is to take the treatment they are selling. .

FEATURES. : 150 YEARS AGO TODAY Story of the U. S. A. BY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR. ‘WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., October 28, 1776.—About 90 Americans and about 230 British and Hessians were killed or wounded today in an engagement which may be known in the future as the Battle of White Plains, although the fleld of conflict was a mile or so southwest of White Plains, at Chat- terton's Hill. It was a strange battle, with both of the main armies looking on from safe distances, while all the fighting—and there was plenty of it— was done by 1,400 Americans against 4,000 of the enemy, although each side had 13,000 men in the fleld under arms, ready to take part. At daybreak, Gen. Washington held with his main body a strong position in White Plains, amply protected against flank attacks by the Bronx River on one side and by rough, broken ground on the other. At Chat- terton's Hill he had stationed Gen. Alexander MacDougall with Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York regiments. Then came Gen. Howe across the flelds from New Rochelle with his 13,000 men. He carefully observed Washington's breastworks, then halted his long col- umn. Then he thrust eight regiments of English and Hesslans toward Chat- terton’s Hill, and there the fighting became furfous on both sides. MacDougall's men were clearly haw ing the better of it with the Maryland- ers and Delawares bearing the brun! until two more regiments of Hessians came up and circied one end of the American line. MacDougall was then outnumbered more than three to one and hard pressed from two directions. He had no cholce but to withdraw or see his brave band surrounded and led away to the prison ships, for the en- emy would surely get Chatterton’s Hill. He, therefore, fell back and Joined the main force at White Plains. Among the last to leave the fleld usual, was Col. Smallwood of the Marylanders, bearing two wounds. ‘This hill will be of little service to Gen. Howe. Our general! is much dis- appointed that Howe did not continue the contest and attack White Plains. He may yet do that very thing, but g;ohably not until he has waited a y or so for something—perhaps for some more regiments. Meanwhile, ‘Washington {s still more secure to- night than he was this morning, for he has strengthened his position by posting Lord Sterling’s division in the passes In the hills and protected the pass on our front by placing Gen. Parsons near Rye Pond. So Easy to Serve! ...
