WOMAN'S PAGE. Tone: Combinations in Furs BY MARY Furriers, like jewelers and shoe- gnakers, once felt that they might fol- dow fashion at a safer distance than dressmakers and milliners. They need MARSHALL. cade, but the furrier must manage somehow to use his materials with the free touch of a_dressmaker. This season, I understand, there are many combinations of two tones of the same sort of fur in trimming, scarfs or fur wraps. A scarf made from Jmn \vhltel fox and black fox is decidedly looking. P ‘Where deft manipulation is required, then the thinnest of furs are needed— and various sorts of krimmer, Persian lamb and galyak have come into favor for this purpose. But for collars and_orders the longest-haired of pelts are favored. In the new street ensem- bles and coats, fabrics are often trim- med with furs of a lighter tone. For the new dull dark blues, gray krimmer, for brown beige, calacul. Paquin has used black broadcloth with gray krim- mer with decided effectiveness. Vionnet goes him one better by using white caracul on black or blue costumes. For the benefit of readers who have requested it, this week’s diagram pat- tern is for a baby jacket suitable for the baby of four or five months, It is quite easy to make, and even if there are no bables in your own family you may like to have the pattern to use when you need to give the next baby gift.

Certain furs could be-worked in certain ways. - Cer- tain furs might be combined with cer- tain other furs, but not with furs of another sort. There were things that one might do with squirrel but not with ermine or sable. Certain furs might be dyed and others might not, and even those that might be dyed were dyed in certain tones, not in others. It was a matter of sacred convention. But those days are gone and now the furrier has to be as brisk in féllowing in the steps of fashion as the milliner or the dressmaker and may even blaze the trail himself if he likes. Of course, furs really are not as easy to lle as velvets or breadcloth, satin or. bro- Everyday Law Cases Does Mistake as to Qualities of Article Sold Vitiate the Sale. BY THE COUNSELLOR. Jack Wood sold for two dollars an old violin that had lain in the attic of his house. Shortly thereafter. Wood was in- formed by a friend that the instru- ment he had sold may have been of a valuable make., Being curious, Wood returned with a violin expert to the second-hand dealer to whom he had made the sale. His old violin proved to have rare value. ‘The dealer, who had been unaware of the bargain he had bought at the time of obtaining it, had in the mean- time ascertained its true value and re- fused to resell the instrument to Wood. The latter lost no time in bringing suit to rescind the sale, asserting that the sale was vold because of his mistake in the quality and value of what he was selling. The court refused to set aside the sale, stating: “If the parties are agreed as to the thing to be sold and the terms of the contract, the agreement is complete not- withstanding & mistake as to the na- ture and quality of what is being sold. If Wood chose to sell the article with- out investigation as to its intrinsic value to one who was guilty of no fraud or unfairness which induced him to sell it for a small sum, he cannot repudiate & the sale because it is afterward ascer- tained that he made a bad bargain.” —_— Beef Liver Baked. Soak one and one-half pounds of beef liver in skim milk for several hours. Cut the liver into one-half inch slices. Dip each slice in flour which has been sifted with salt and pepper. Sear in|lai meat drippings or bacon fat. When all the liver has been browned, arrange the slices in layers in a shallow baking dish or casserole.- Put a few slices of onion between the layers and cover the top with four or five pieces of thin bacon. Add one cupful of stock, cover, and bake in a moderately hot oven until tender. Uncover the dish during the last 20 minutes of baking. The liver may be baked in one piece and carved before_serving. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Toe Itch. ‘Toe itch comes in three varieties or forms, namely, the simple itch associ~ ated with hyperidrosis (which is medi- calese for excessive sweating); fungus dermatitis or ringworm infection of the skin of the feet prevailing in gymna- siums, s! ing pools and other places where people go barefoot, and the dew itch, ground itch or toe itch caused by the invasion of the skin by the larvae of the hookworm, in sections of the Bouth where the soil is polluted. Simple toe itch is an annoying feature of only a few cases of excessive sweat- ing of the feet. It is unquestionably re- lieved or prevented by going barefoot, whereas the other two forms of toe itch are contracted usually by going bare- foot. I frequently urge the practice of going barefoot as a good thing for the development of the feet, for the general health of the individual and for the prevention of hyperidrosis or bromidrosis (malodorous sweating). There is some risk of contracting fungus or ringworm dermatitis by going barefoot in public gymnasiums or about swimming pools or other bath estab- lishments. ~For tourists there is risk of contracting hookworm by going bare- foot in any region where the soil hap- pens to be polluted In my judgment it demands the skill and expert knowledge of the physician to make a diagnosis of the kind of toe itch in nearly all cases. Obviously there is nothing to prohibit one with hyperi- drosis from oatching hookworm or fun- gus, and nothing to prohibit one with such toe itch from having hyperidrosis. So how are you going to tell what ails you? It is difficult enough for the doc- tor to make sure in many It may be highly even wrong, but somehow I feel justi- fied by the reports I have had from correspondents, in saying that a stand- ard formula known to physicians and pharmacists is a fairly good remedy for all three forms of toe itch, if you'd rather fool with your itch than consult your doctor. This formula is six parts of salicylic acid and 12 of benzoic acid in enough petrola (petroleum jelly) to make 100 parts of ointment. Apply it to the affected surface of skin once daily for a week. Then rest off for a week or two, and if the trouble persists or recurs, another week of daily applications. In many cases it is ad- visable to reduce the strength of the ointmen» half by mixing with an_equal quantity of plain petrolatum. In all cases it is better to apply the ointment at night, and not put on shoes or other- wise cover the feet until a few hours at least after such application. (Copyright. 1928.) A NEW discovery!

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 20. —Mary Pickford's changed personality is one of the most interesting topics in Hollywood today. “America's Sweetheart” will have to look for a new tag if all reports con- cerning her are coming true. For the little girl, playful, appealingly pouting, is to disappear from Mary Pickford’s calculations and screen portrayals of emotional consequence and tragic depths are to be substituted. Mary - herself has some interesting ideas about the change. One is that the type of little girl she has been por- traying in the past is not understand- able to the child of the present. A wistful, naughty little girl with several pounds of blond curls hanging down her back isn’t in the modern pic- ture, That same little heayy-haired minx, climbing up into the jam closet, the while she casts rueful eyes about, just makes the hard-boiled infantas of the present day smile. ‘The youngster today thinks the aver- age childish prank is something to be tucked away with the moth balls and nmnued for in the attic just to get a Without a doubt something will hap- pen to “Coquette” when Mary Pickford makes a movie of it. It is scarcely within calculations that the above- mentioned little girl is going to step over the line into the delicately purpled tragedy of this story as it stands. Few stories are given in movies as they stand. They are subject to a change. As a writing gentie named “Bill” put into the mouth of a sprite called Ariel, “A sea change into some- thing rich and strange.” ‘When “The Cardboard Lover” was made in Hollywood Marion Davies be- came the cardboard lover. ‘Which reminds me of a story Ger- trude Atherton told me about the film- ing of one of her novels. She was taken into' a projection room-in the studio and the reel was begun. “I saw a lot 5f Andalusian peasants clicking castanets,” said the Atherton with her crisp humor, *sheep in the background, the usual movie atmo- here. ‘Very interesting,’ I said to studio executive who had piloted me there, ‘but would you mind putting my picture on? It's beastly cold in ere.’ “*‘But this is your picture, Mrs. Ath- rton—' " e Somewhere 1n the novel she had men- tioned the hill country of Spain. And that’s the way it goes in Hollywood. John Barrymore returned to Holly- ‘wood 'Juurdly with two severely sprained ‘ankles, the result of casual- ties encountered while_on _location in the high Rockies near Banff, ada. The story, which has its locale in the Swiss Alps, calls for rough going, and the company certainly got it. ~John Miehle, a photographer, had his nose broken when caught in a rock slide in that wild country. Ernest Lubitsch, the director, nar- rowly missed annihilation when a hug boulder crashed down the mountain- side, passing within a few inches of his head. Lubitsch was loud in praise of his company, which included Camilla Horn, Victor Varconi, Mona Rico and others. Barrymore took risks which the Swiss guides engaged by Lubitsch refused to attempt. At that, the battered unit holdin, court at United Artists studios feels, i was just a great adventure. A hotel which faces the Hollywood police station bears the following verse from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam K over the door: “The worldly hopes men build their hearts upon Turn ashes or they prosper, and anon Like snow upon the desert’s dusty face, Lighting 1ts little hour or two, is gone.” ‘The proprietor is either a philosoph Used By Millions Throughout The World For the past fifty years Cuticura Soap and Ointment have met with favor in every clime and with every people.

Better Than Soap You Will Enjoy Washing Hose in Annite IT’S really very easy to clean hose when you use Annite in the water, because Annite cleans quicker and rinses out completely. It takes all of the dirt from the hose without scrubbing. Annite for the Household Linen Use Annite for tablecloths and other large flat work. Use Annite for the hard-to-clean kitchen towels. Put it to the hardest cleaning test you can think of. You will find it the most satisfactory washing powder you have ever tried. It is better and cheaper than soap. Use Annite sparingly. A little goes a long way. At Department, Drug and Grocery Stores WASHINGTON, D: ) —By JOHN CASSEL. N\ g e N a philanthropist, or a man who once had moving picture ambitions. This is the town of the trilumphant beauty parlor, the show place lunch- eons, studded with stars and jammed with curious tourists; the place where stout ladies from all over America learn that their obesity is nothing to brag about, and that their police duty in regard to the better half has to be doubled. It is a town where lavender, robin’s egg blue and startling white roadsters flaunt great brass dragon horns, some of them with nice red glass eyes.

Janet is rather pleased with herself, you know. She's been a fairly success- ful ivloung person for some time now. She has concentrated steadily on making a hit with all the really expen- sive people in town, and she has suc- ceeded. At present her home is the center of the really exclusive society of this burg. And, you know, she has the most profound contempt for some of the other girls who have either not aimed so high or been unable to reach the mark. Janet says: “It's so simple of those kids. They're too prudish. What the really smart people like nowadays is snappy cenversation. They like girls who are not afraid to call a spade. They like girls who drink and smoke and know how to have a good time. Maybe I am in wrong with a few old blue stockings, but what difference does that make? I'm in right with the best crowd in town.” Yes, she is quite pleased over the whole thing, and the prudish sisters who don’t run around in her exclusive circle are largely to blame for their own plight. But_Janet's plight will be as pitiable one of these days if she is to remain here and settle down to marriage and a few children. For, you see, she hasn't made a last- ing favorable impression with a single one of the reliable people. No, she hasn’t bothered about them. The mothers and fathers, the solid citizens, the people who can be one’s best friends in time of trouble—these fdlk she hasn’t bothered to cultivate. In her estima- tion they're much too dull. Why should she bother? Simply because neither she nor any other girl in the world can live happily ever after with nothing to depend on but the friendship of this idle, merry, fast-going crowd she loves. Every one needs something more re- liable than a cocktail party to fall back on in tume of trouble. Janet hasn't made a single real friend who would stick by her when she needed help. She hasn't tried to. She's simply made a hit with the noisy spenders and the big half-timers. She’s happy now because she’s in their social whirl. But, heavens! her life is going on a long time, and somewhere in it there must be some sort of real relationship if she is to have any hap- piness, She can't go on depending on these careless people for friendship and love. Nor can she steadily incur the disap- proval and resentment of the substan- tial souls whom she despises. The world is made up of the sub- stantial people we think dull. The noisy, happy-go-lucky crowd are only the froth, and if we hang on to the froth we shall find ourselves friendless one of these days. Let us make all the friends we can in this world, but let us not turn our backs on solid respectability because it doesn't drink or smoke or know how to have a good time. There is often just as much warmth and friendliness in the respectable people as there can ever be in the idle drifters who know only how to spend money.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Becoming Coiffures. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I have a pug nose and a very prominent chin. My face is quite thin. Should I wear a long bob? How should I dress my hair? (2) I am 5 feet 2 inches tall, and my hip measure is 33 inches. My hips look large. How can I reduce them, and what style dresses may I wear to make them seem smaller? FLORENCE. Answer—(1) If you wish to wear a bobbed coiffure, a long cut is more be- coming to your type than a short one. You might wear your hair parted in the middle, with a short, fluffy bang. Since your face is thin and your fea- tures are not classic, you will find wavy hair more becoming than straight. A pretty, long-haired coiffure for you would be dressed with long bang, start- ing at the top of your head. The side and back hair should be waved and the ends turned under in a small bun behind. (2) Your hip measure is not too large. I do not think it would be possible to reduce it without reducing the bone, which is impossible. You should try to build up your weight, so that your figure would be in better pro- portion. If you wish to accentuate your slimness, wear one-piece frocks with vertical lines of tucks or trimming down the front. LOIS LEEDS. Always Hungry. Dear Miss Leeds: I am 18 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall, and weigh 132 pounds. I eat a lot, but am always hungry. What can I eat to satisfy my appetite and yet grow thinner? DOODLES. Answer—You should consult a doctor about yous general health. Sometimes gnawing hunger comes from stomach trouble and not. from the need for more food. You are already 13 pounds above the average weight for your age and height. In general, bulky foods will sat- isfy the appetite without adding to fat. Such foods include lettuce, spinach, melons, cabbage, celery and tomatoes. Bread and crackers made chiefly of bran also are filling without being fat- tening. LOIS LEEDS. Camphor for Oily Skins. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) My face is smooth, but my nose is very oily and has blackheads on it. Will spirits of camphor help this condition? I wash my face with castile soap, rinse it in cold water, and then pat spirits of camphor on my nose with my finger. My nose burns terribly when I do this. (2) I am 14 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall, and weigh 110 pounds. Is this ht? (3 in is not tanned from orapey the sun, but is naturally dark. Is there any way to bleach it? 'HICKIE. Answer—(1) After washing your face well with castile soap and warm water, rinse it thoroughly in warm water, then rinse it for several minutes in clean, cold water. Add about five or six drops of spirits of camphor to the last basin- ful of rinsing water. Do not use ti undiluted camphor on your skin, as is too strong. (2) You are 3 pounds below the average weight for your age and height. (3) No. You cannot make a naturally dark skin into a fair skifj. You may, however, make your coms plexion a shade lighter by bathing with buttermilk or sour milk every daj or you may apply a lotion made of equal parts of lemon juice, glycerin an¥l rose-water.
