w OMAN’S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON Combinations of Fur Are Popular | DoROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX BY MARY Never were furs more ingeniously handled than they are this season. The fashionable woman is no longer satisfied merely with wearing costly furs of the sort that are considered modish. In fact, some women would rather wear less expensive peltry in- genlously worked than sable and er- mine put together in commonplace manner. 3 DARK BROWN COLLAR AND CUFFS ON THIS DARK BROWN VELVET COAT, AND CIRCL __ADORN THE Some of the new French fur wraps for afternoon and evening are cut on simple, straight lines, but are made ornate by having the fur worked into rather intricate design. Ermine, chinchilla, mole and sable all used in this way. There are apes with designs worked in the ume fur, which stands out because it is_left thicker to show the design. When this is done the trimming is of the same sort of fur as that used for the rest of the garment, but often fur wraps are trimmed with fur of a different and contrasting sort. Leop- ard is sometimes trimmed with skunk, pony th fox, and gazelle with fine badger. The French woman of fash- ion finds amusement in combining the peltry of two animals’ which would ha been unfriendly in life. Cloth and fur have been so at- tractively combined in the Winter coats that there is no hardship now in not owning a wrap of fur. The collar alone may ‘be of fur, there may be collar and cuffs or collar, cuffs MARSHALL, are fur edged, and in some of the newest coats there is an ingenious de- sign of the fur on the coat for purely ornamental purposes. This purely decorative use of furs may be extravagant, but it is surely primitive enough. Ethnologists tell us that before our ancestors ever thought of clothing as a mattar of protection or warmth—when they still dwelt in climates warm enough to make apparel unnecessary—they rob- bed the bird of his feathers and the beast of his fur in order to add to their own attractions. The woman who waw decked out with a goodly number of fur tails thus boasted that her mate or lover was a mighty hunt- er. nine adornment, and if they do not in- dicate a brave hunter, they at least suggest a fat bank account. Some of the new shawls are edged with ermine tails instead of silk fringe. (Copyright. 1026.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Spiced Apple Sauce. Oatmeal With Cream. Codfish Cakes, Chili Sauce.

Dear Miss Leeds: Would you please tell me n way of reducing my neck and chin? My chin is quite plump and there is quite a wrinkle of flesh around my neck. I am 22 years old, 6 feet 3 inches tall. What should I weigh? SONIA. Answer—Your cor! weight is about 122 pounds. Systematic exer- cise and correct posture are necessary to rid you of the double chin. Notice how the flesh at your throat is more baggy when vou let vour chin sag forward and down and then see how the lines of your neck are improved when you hold your chin up and your neck straight. ~ In most occupations the workers must bend their heads to look down on their work and in thi way they develop wrinkles like yours. ctice holding your head up, chin 1s much as you can.

EAR MISS DIX: How can a fellow tell when he really is in love? I am 25, and have thought I was in love equally as many times. I have met girls who made me feel that I would pine away and die like an uprooted tree if T didn't get them, but I soon tired of them and fell in love With some- body else. = Now I have found a girl that I belleve to be the real one. When T am near her [ do not want anything else on earth, but just to be there. T feel that I could look at her forever. I have always been restless and discontented, byt now I have no more desire to roam. I want to settle down and go to work, and work and work, 8o as to build a home worthy of her. T long to ask her to be my wife, yet I hesitate because I am not sure of myself. Do you think I should pop the question now or wait until I see Whether I recover ‘from this case as I have from so many others? FRED. Answer: Well, Fred, inasmuch as you have had so many sporadic attacks of sentiment in the past, perhaps it would be wise to wait a bit and see whether this bids fair to be a chronic.heart case or not. Just as there are people who are susceptible to any infection, and who always catch any ailment that is goirig around, so there are men who are sensitive to feminine charms and who fall for every pretty face that comes along. They can run a temperature over a curl on the nape of a white neck. A pair of dreamy eyes brings on the most alarming palpitations and gives them that gone feeling, while a moonlight night with a band sobbing in the distance fills them with chills and fever from whicH they never expect to recover. Therefore, if they have any, or all, of these symptoms, they conclude that they have a fatal love case, but not so. They have diagnosed their symptoms incorrectly. They are merely in love with love and any girl sends them on a sentimental jag. Now, it isn’t an easy thing for a man to tell whether he really has a passing fancy for a girl, or is in love with her for keeps. A man may think he 1s in love with a girl, for instance, just because she is so beautiful. To see her is like looking at a lovely picture, and he feels that he could gaze at her forever. And then, somehow, he gets tired of looking at her and his fancy wanders to some other prospect. Or he may think he is in fove with a girl because she is such a good little pal, with whom he can play around, and to whom he can say anything that pops into his mind. Then suddenly he finds out, somehow, that friendship Lsn't love, and that she really raises no more commotion in his breast than is little brother does. Or he may think he is in love with some girl because she is such a good dancer, and another because she is so domestic, and another because she is so much in love with him. And then he finds another girl who is a better dancer, or has a newer line of conversation or a fresh attraction, and all the old bets are off, and the new ones are on. So it is no wonder, Fred, after your 25 false alarms, that you are a little leery of trusting yourself and want to be very sure that this is the real thing. But I think you may be sure that this affair is genuine, for the real supreme test of love in a man is for him to want to go to work and make a home for this woman. ‘When a man feels every time he thinks about a girl that he wants to roll up his sleeves and tackle his job with 10 times the energy and vim that he ever put into it before; when he wants to work, work, work, so that he can keep a girl soft and warm and safe and give her pretty things—that's love. That's the real thing, and all other fine speeches and idle protestations are counterfeit. DOROTHY DIX. « s DEAR MISS DIX: Do you think that if T will be patient and try hard enough I can get the man I love, who doesn’t love me? What can Ido to make him care for me? SUE. Answer: A man who is a patient wooer, and who assiduously fursues a girl in spite of all discouragements, is very apt to win her in the end, but such tactics are not so successful when practiced by a woman. It flatters a woman for a man to run after her, but it is very apt to disguest a man for a girl to run after him. Still there are exceptions to the rule, particularly if the man in question happens to be either very timid and bashful or very conceited. The timid man always needs some one to help him over the fence, and he marries out of sheer gratitude the g the nerve to say “no.” The conceited man marries the woman who lets him see that she loves him, because he thinks she shows her superior taste and intelligence in preferring him. So_there you are. Thackeray said that any woman ‘who didn’t have an actual hump on her back could marry any man she chose, and certainly we have all seen marriages that confirmed this theory. but non-fattening | pthel ! ment_and_should be on_their guard It you | Ment and should be on thef EU'S bound | Naturally, every hunter of men must lay her own traps to suit her own game.

Flower and leaf, both are faded now, and those who walk out in the country in the Summer, and those who skim along the roads in motors even now, expect to see no green thing living. The hikers, many of them, have ceased to hike; and the motorist goes for the fresh air and the joy of the road, looking neither to right nor left, though there are spots of green there still for him to see. But what of the Christmas fern, evergreen, brave and hardy, that even grows on the steep, hostile banks of railway cuts? What of the checker-berry, beloved of the Winter birds for the faint winter- green flavor in its fruits, that traces a green pattern underneath the pines? If it comes to that, what of the pines themselves, that all Summer long cast only a resinous, boiling, stifling shade, but stand out now in their true color, the lovely color of blue green? I have not yet realized my dream of building a house among pines; but when I do build a house it will be in a grove of the noblest of the anclent race of conifers. - Every day, on my way home from the city, I pass a patch of glittering green under leafless oaks and hick- orfes. I could not imagine what made so brave a show at this time of year, and one day, though I could ill spare the time, I got out of the bus and went to look.

Often when you say that you are buying new china you simply mean that you are replacing or fllling in. As a matter of fact there really is new china, and it is worth the attention of every shopper. Lately the old combination of white and gold has been forced down in price because i{vory has become more populaf. Of cdurse you may stilll pre- fer white, but many find greater warmth and richness in the cream-like glow of ivory. The Orient is supplying us with several varieties of new china, too. Luster ware from Japan in solid tones with bits of gold and borders of con- trasting colors make excellent tea sets. Quimper ware is old but ever new. Canton china in new designs may be had, but it is best bought for service. At times Spanish porcelain is avallable to a full purse and fine taste. If you have a breakfast room for which you want to buy a china set, or odd pieces, German and Czecho- slovakian ware in bold original de- signs are good buys. This ware is colorful and inexpensive. It is of such a nature that broken pleces may be replaced with odd ones and the effect is simply greater variety. Naturally the question arises when buying new china: Is domestic china as good as the imported? American factories produce work just as fine as any that may be imported. You may MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. A Brave Little Coward. One mother says: My little boy is very timid, it seems to me, but the boys at school have taunted him with being a cow- ard, and I watch for chances to coun- teract it. The other day he came in after school holding his little sister firmly by the hand. The boys were teasing her, he explained, and he had defended her and brought her home. I told him he must never believe the boys when they called him a coward, for he had proved himself brave. I give him storles of heroes to read and praise him when he shows courage, particularly moral courage. He is growing less timid all the time. (Copyright, 1826.) FEATURES buy American ware with every assur- ance of satisfaction. Many times china that appears to be new is merely a revived pattern that has been long forgotten. Don't be surprised therefore to find among “new” china patterns that are identi- cal with the remnants of your grand- mother’s set. One new design that is becoming as much sought as the well known is the ‘‘Hundred Wise Men of Japan™ ware. It is chiefly preferred in tea sets. Thousands of tiny faces peer at one from this ware. It is an inexpensive novelty of which one doesn't tire. New china may be new to some, but | old to others. "To many Imari bowls | and plates are “new,” but old ladies in black silk know them familiarly. In new china color seems to be the important buying point. But you rhay raise your own point, and it may be well taken. Molded Fish Salad.
