WOMAN’S PAGE. Dark Fur Coats BY MARY MARSHALL. Just possibly’ you are getting tired of red dresses. Unless you are coior blind or have a peculiar fondness for shades of crimson and scarlet, vou must be just a trifie weary of the zolor, Both in Paris and in large ~ities' in_ this country the red dress was at the opening of the season the very desirable choice of the few, and its popularity has increased until it s the ubiquitous choice of the many. RrD CREPE DE CHINE HAS BEEN MADE INTO A FROCK THAT, THOUGH RATHER FUSSY, IS MOST ATTRACTIVE WHEN WORN BY A WOMAN WITH A BLENDER FIGURE. Once we noted here and there at tea time a girl in what we fondly called a little red dress, now we perhaps sigh a little as a fur coat is slipped from young—or old—shoulders to dis- play one more frock of this color. One way that the fashionable Parisian_gets around the dificulty is to avoid frocks of an out-and-out and Red Dresses nate desire to wear something of a reddish hue by choosing plum color, cyclamen, cerise, ruby, rust or somc other tone that is a little less obvious | —and not quite so popular. The all-enveloping fur coat has done | much to establish the vogue for the red dress. When coats were relative- ly short enough to show some of the frock béneath, many women would have hesitated to wear red, feeling that it was a Jittle conspicuous for the street. It took considerable courage to wear a red suit or red cloth engem- ble. But the fur coat of dark or neu- tral tone perfectly hides the red frock worn beneath, which gives a bright and cheerful tone when the coat is removed. The shade of red must be chosen not only to suit your complexion, but to harmonize with your fur coat. Clear reds usually look well only under black or gray furs. Browns and beiges require either a decidedly “plum” shade or a rust red, the brown tones of which agree with the brown tinge of the fur. Accessories with the red frock must be chosen with great care, and one authority on smart dressing warns us against wearing any sort of conspic uous jewelry or any neck ornament save the simplest when a red frock is chosen. A necklace of small real or imitation pearls is perhaps the best selection. Heavy gold jewelry, large pearls or crystal jewelry may give to your red frock a note of emphasis that is any- THE EVENING SUB ROSA BY MIMI. That Skinny Schoolgirl. This is an article for schoolgirls only. All the calm, poised young things who are out in the world earning their living, taking their place in the social world and feeling them- selves secure in their own positions need not read these few lines. But the pathetic little kids who are strug- gling to keep back the tears over the slights and neglects they're suf- fering at the hands of their fellow schoolmates may get some consola- tion from what I have to say. Lately there has been a perfect epidemic of pitiful notes from girls in school who' find that no matter how they dress, how they conduct them- selves, they appear ugly and awk- ward beside the school belles—they have no chance for any sort of so- clal activity because the boys leave them severely alone—they are entire- 1y _outside the pale. Dora tells me that she is so tired of being overlooked and snubbed, she would do anything in the world to change her appearance. She has been described, she telis me, as “that skinny schoolgirl,” and the description is apparently all too true. For Dora is tall, ungainly, long- necked and angular. She walks bad- ly, holds herself wretchedly, has feet much too long and pigeontoed to be of any beauty, and is obliged to wear youthful frocks and shoes because her mother feels that more sophisti- cated garments are out of place on one of Dora's tender years. Dora is losing self-confidence. She thing but attractive. (Copyright. 1927.) My Neighbor Says: To make an exaellent grease eradicator boil one ounce of soap, first shaving it into one quart of soft water; add one teaspoonful of saltpeter and one and one-half ounces of ammonia. Keep this fluid in a well corked bottle. Steam your bacon instead of bolling it and you will be sur- prised to find how little it wastes. If you have no steamer put it into a colander on top of a saucepan with boiling water in it. Alwaye sweep the rug and carpets the way of the grain. Brushing against the grain roughens the surface and it tends to brush the dust in in- stead ,of out. A very useful utensil for boiling eggs is a wire basket fitted into a saucepan. In this way the eggs may be lifted out without any trouble. To remove rust from steel, rub the metal with plenty of linseed oil and let it soak two or three days. Then wipe off and polsh with powdered, un- slaked lime until the rust dis- appears. ‘When the fastener has pulled out of a glove, darn the hole and sew an ordinary dress snap near the old fastejer. poppy shade.

There are more ways than one of buying fringe. It may be bought alone, on A dress, or shawl, and on articles other than those of dress. Fringe has been called “flating trim- ming,” and so it seems to be. Fringe for frocks should be bought in the same color as the frock. It may either be bought with the frock, or matched with it or even dyed to match. If quiet grace is wanted for an aftermoon or evening dress, fringe with its floating, sweeping grace will supply it. It will give movement and life, too, to a quiet, simple dress. Fringe should be bought with due consideration of the material of which it is made, Of course most fringe i= made of silk, but a good deal of it is made of twisted mer- cerized cotton strands. It comes in all grades of silk and cotton, and they should be recognized, and the fringe valued accordingly. Cotton has the one advantage of laundering well, while silk adds more to appearance. Length is another standard of value of fringe. If one is buying a shawl, length of fringe i a determiner of price. The hetter qualities of fringe are made of more strands per thread than the poorer ones. They are finest fringe has threads that seem to be but one strand of thread. Of course, tight winding makes for long- er wear. Fringe should be bought with the actual needs of one's frock, dress or shawl in mind. For example, for evening dresses, a beaded fringe would be most appropriate. The glitter of the beads would add to the beauty of the fringe. It should be remembered that fringe also is made of other materials, such as ostrich feathers. Look over the various fringes on display. You will soon be able to distinguish “the hand-knotte§ kind from the machine made ones. The difference is marked. Of course you will rarely find an inferior grade of fringe on a fine dress or shawl, and if you cannot judge the fringe with accuracy, or think you cannot, ex- amine the garment of which it Is a part, Stout women should avoid short fringes, though tall women may wear either. Long fringes are broken by the movement of the body So that they do not accentuate slimness, The length of the fringe should always be in proportion with the dress or or frock on which it hangs. On shawls, the longer the fringe the more graceful ordinarily one finds the shawl. Fringe may be worn in any season, and it fx part of every also wound more tightly, and the style, though never a style in itself. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS Blackheads and Pimples. One of the most difficult and dis- couraging beauty problems is a severe case of acne when the face seems”cov- ered with pimples or small scars. I receive many really pitiful letters from girls and boys, each of whom imagines that he or she has the very worst case of this affiiction ever seen. If properly handled, they will disap pear in time, but if hygienic habits and thorough cleansing locally are neglected, the pimples spread over larger areas and become a real dis. fizurement. When these blemishes have gained a strong foothold, it i impossible to cure them by simple home methods. They become a case for a physician or skin specialist who I watched 2 snowflake lilting down. It FPell so lightly ‘throvgh the air— How did it help me | And heavy o mood of -+ & foolish care’ = | e bl can administer the X-ray treatment or prescribe internal medication. 3 In the early stages of acne an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure. The skin must be thoroughly cleansed and treated with a mild antiseptic wash every night. Wring out a clean face cloth in hot water and hold it against the skin. Now lather thickly with tincture of green soap. Leave the soap on for about five minutes before rinsing it off with clear, warm water, Bathe the pimples with hot boric acld solu- tion. then prick the ripe ones with a sterilized needle and gently press out the pus (or blackhead) without bruis- | ing the skin. Bathe again in fresh boric acid, dry and put on an acne lotion or cream. A simple cream for the purpose may he made of one ounce of lanolin, one ounce of benzolated lard and a quarter ounce of nrecipi- | tated sulphur. Leave this salve on overnight, covering lightly with folds of gauze to keep-it from rubbing off on the bedding. gy Diet is an important aid in over- coming pimples. Foods to be avoided are spices, condiments, stimulating beverages, rich pastries, candy and an oversupply of starchy and fried foods. Meat should not be eaten more than jonce a day. Milk, cheese, buttermilk, {all succulent and leafy’ vegetables, |clear soups, oranges and grapefruit should compose most of the diet. Of course, some starch, in the form of | bread, potatoes or rice, is needed also. ! Plenty of water should be drunk be- tween meals. Daily exercise out of doors, fresh | air, sunlight and bathe are necessary to help clear the skin. Although it is important te avoid constipation, ca- thartics should not be taken habitu- ally. Right diet, with sufficient’ exer- clse and relaxation, will correct the trouble, A tense, nervous habit is perhaps the commonest cause of con- |vtipation. ~ So-called blood purifiers i should not be taken except under a | physician’s direction. Colored make- | up should also be avoided. | *(Copyright. 1927.) To Cook Turnips. slice the turnips, cover b water, and cook until tender, no longer.

For one thing, Dora's in the growing-up stage. She's At the age where girls—who are later on to have the aristocratic, slim figures for which every one yearns to- day—shoot out into arms and legs and necks of the most amazing length and thinness. She's at the age where all her bad points show up and none of her good ones. \ Few people notice that Dora has a knockout profile. Her hair is so bad- ly arranged and so untidy that people are mostly concerned with noticing that. They don't stop to realize that those long, thin, pointed feet will look stun- ning in smart shoes later on—nor do they realize the value of her slim legs and ankles. They Iaugh at those skinny claws of hers, but some day they will sign regretfully over their own chubby palms and gaze with envy at the slim, tapering fingers of Milady Dora. Mildred, Dora’'s pal, is at the zenith of her glory right now. She is only a schoolgirl, too, but a cute, plump little person, - with a round face, dimply elbows and plump feet. Can you see her in five or six yéars’ time? Can you see the sight she’ll be in any kind ‘of a smart one-piece frock? Can you see how many men she'll have| when Dora’s around—Dora with her smart slenderness and her aristocratic hands and ankles? Let the skinny schoolgirl not despair. Her turn is coming. Her plump little girl friend may be in her glory right now, but no dne wants to be at the height of her career during her first school days. Every one would rather look forward to a brilliant future than look back on a past of petty. triumphs. Dora.is to be envied, even though she's at the bad age right now.

Slander is the defamation of char- acter by word of mouth. Betty broke the glad news to her aunt, Mrs. Allen. Ralph had pro- posed, and she had accepted him. Mrs. Allen did not seem overjoyed, and asked Betty whether she was certain of Ralph's character. “Do you know, Betty,” Mrs. Allen inquired anxiously, “that Ralph has a bad reputation—he is said to have swindled Old Crawford. Be careful. 1 like Ralph, but this is a serious step you're taking. Betty was shotked. The news was heart-breaking. She did not belleve it, and it was with difficulty and trembling courage that she asked Ralph about it. Ralph’ vehemently denied the accusation and explained the transaction to Betty. It was clear that he had been wrongfully accused: that the deal was an honest, but un fortunate one; that Ralph had really tried to save Old Crawford and had lost a good deal of his own money in the attempt. Ralph was resentful, and brought suit agalnst Mrs. Allen for slander. She had no right, he claimed, even in good faith, to spread such defama- tory gossip. But the court decided in Mrs. Al- len's tavor, saying: “Statements regarding the char- acter of a_suitor made by one who is under a duty to make them on ac- count of her relationship are privi- leged if made in good fait Women Carry Smart Canes.

Some recent experiments have been carried on In two different cities rela- tive to pulling up the weight of under- weight children. The children are supposedly getting an adequate diet at the table, at least they are having put before them the right foods in proper amounts, though no especial effort has been made to force them to eat the full amounts of this food. In fact, the children were exactly in the situation of the average child in the average family who sits down to a meal of meat, potatoes, vegetables and desert, with milk to drink, and still remains a poor, skinny specimen. The children were divided into four groups. Those who were given milk to drink between the noon and even- ing meal, those who were given four pulled figs to eat, those swho were given one whole orange and the fourth group were given nothing. Their gain in weight was compared at the end of the test period to show how much each group had gained over the chil- dren who had nothing to eat between meals. The largest improvement was made by those children given an orange as a between-meal lunch. This seems to upset all our theories about milk, but without bothering our heads greatly about the why. of all this, this bit of knowledge serves to give the mother at least a new idea. Instead of forcing her child to drink a glass of milk between noon and din- ner at night, give him an orange to eat. Most children will take this gladly. They may like to eat the whole orange or they may prefer orange juice. It won't spoil their appetites for the next meal, as fruit juice is an appe- tizer (that is one reason we can eat a hetter breakfast after we have a tart fruit and a better diner after a fruit cocktall). This solves two problems for the mother: What shall I give my young- ster when he comes home from school and wants something to eat: or what shall T give him to help increase his weight?

FLALUKLD: IF YOUTH BUT KNEW BY_ IRVING FISHER, Professor of Economics, It was nearly 30 years ago when 1] suddenly discovered that 1 had ruined my health by wrong posture, wrong diat, indoor and sedentary work and many other errors of living. My ig- norance and negligence took nearly six years out of my life. If I*had only known in time what I learned through those six bitter years, 1 :ll\‘ not_doubt that I could have lived and | worked bevond the century, mar] At first T thought I was an excep- | tion, that the world in general did not make such mistakes.

To my amazement 1 found practically every one of them ailing in some morg or less important way, of which he teld me in con! dence while concealing it from the world in general. I began to suspect that neither I nor my companiong in misery in Col orado were really very exceptional, but that the whole world was nursing hurts and bruises, each person imag- ining his own troubles to be excep- tional. ‘This suspicion that the whole world is sick was fully confirmed when, with a few fellow enthusiasts, Mr. Ley and Dr. Fisk in_particular, I| helped to found the Life Extension Institute. The institute has physical- ly examined many groups of work- men, clerks, etc., who certainly can- not _he zaid to be in exceptionally bad health.

If youth but knew! If they knew thoroughly they would care, and if they cared they would never live the average disease-producing life. They would not smoke if they knew what tobacco was doing to their nerves, blood and vital organs; much less would they use alcohol. They would get more air and sunlight, keep out doors, wear lighter, whiter, looser and more porous clothes, eat harder food, less meat, fish and fowl, less sugar and white bread, more milk, bulky, raw and hard feods, e slowly, eliminate the food more promptly and frequently, stanfl =it and walk more erect and be less tense and worrled over trifles. The cumulative result of all these and other litfle changes is always wonderful, even for those who, like myself, had already ruined their health. Few people of my age are in better health than I am today, simply because I did learn these lessons and it seems “never too late to mend. If youth could only begin knowl- edge where the parents left off, could profit by all past experiences instead of having to learn all over again, the results would add to the happiness of the world so greatly that some of us, who know this, would gladly lay down our own lives if thereby youth could but know.
