THE EVE KING_STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, OCTOBER o FEATURTS. Furless Coat Has Definite Place BY MARY With the world of fashion so full of luxurious Winter coats lavishly trim- ‘med with fur, it takes a bit of courage to put in for the coat that has no fur at Still this type of coat has a definite place in the wardrobe of the woman who has many new coats every season, and it also seems to me an important place in the dress scheme of things for the woman who has but ene. p Just at present there is no street | | | GRAY TWEED COAT MADE WITH- OUT COLLAR TO BE WORN WITH FOX SCARF. costume smarter and so unquestionably right for wear about town for informal luncheon, and afternoon engagements, too, as the two-plece suit worn with a fox scarf. It am sure few of us dreamed that by this time American women would have been so won over to this type of street costume that has for TGARSHALL. some time been more popular in France than In this country. And only the optimistic would have felt certain that so many of the women who have adopted it would wear i* with such distinction and chic. Ap- parently the simplest sort of ensemble, it requires a sure scnse of dress to wear it well. Shoes and stockings must be chosen with such careful regard to the cut and color of the little suit. The skirt must be of precisely the right length, for even a half inch one way or the other may spoil the effect. And the skirt must fit with just that scant- ness to keep it from being dowdy and just that looseness to keep it from drawing in the least. Gloves, hat, blouse, handbag must 2il be simple and yet faultless of their sort. this two-piece suit goes the fox scarf as unquestionably as mint sauce goes with roast lamb or cranberries with turkey. With cooler weather these light little suits will be put aside in most climates for heavier, longer coais and frocks— but just as surely the two-piece suit and fox scarf will be revived for Spring. And so it occurs to me that for the woman who cannot afiord to buy a good fox scarf and a Winter coat trim- excellent plan is to buy a substantial Winter coat without fur. Have you ever tried to do a furrier's job at home and has it ever occurred to you that sewing on fur wasn't so simple a matter as you had supposed? If you have or if you are thinking of | remodeling any of your old fur gar- | ments or using any fur trimming on your homemade frocks or wraps you will find this week’s circular useful. It tells how to take the necessary stitches in the fur and how to apply it to the material of frock or coat. If you would like this illustrated little circular, please send me a stamped, self-addressed en- velope and I will send it to you at once. My Neighbor Says: Grease spots on silk may be removed by covering the soiled parts with French chalk. Let stand for a few hours, then brush off. Repeat the application if necessary. Iron rust stains may usually be removed by treatment for about 15 minutes with a solution of oxalic acid (1 ounce to 1 pint) at a temperature just above blood heat. The material must be thoroughly rinsed after the ap- plication. s Pastry will be lighter if mixed with a knife instead of with the hands. When filling pepper or salt shakers put the salt or pepper into envelopes, tear off a corner of the envelope and pour the salt or pepper through. Salt or pep- per will not then be wasted. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Treatments for Flabby Throats. Dear Miss Leeds: I have lost about nine pounds recently and my chin and throat have become very flabby and wrinkled. Is there an exercise to cure this? My hands are also wrinkled. EDITH R. Answer—I could advise you better if 1 knew your present weight, height and . If the recent loss of weight has been due to illness and you are now underweight, the first thing I would advise is to build yourself up. If, on the other hand, you have been re- ducing excess weight too rapidly, but are still above nn:mfl,’l suggest that you modify your reducing p 50 as to lose no more than one pound a week. If you are in your 50s the flab- biness is largely due to the natural shrinkage of the subcutaneous fat. Neck exercises are simple and should be done slowly. Throw your head back between your shoulders. Roll it over the left shoulder, then to the right. Raise the head. Turn it as far to the left as you can, tiiting chin up, then to the right. Throw your head back- ward again and move your jaws as though chewing a large object, but kseg the lips closed. Massage the neck with cocoa butter for several minutes, wipe it off ang apply an astringent . ‘The pack may be made by soak- & large piece of clean absorbent cotton in an astringent lotion (witch hazel will do) and binding it close against the throat. Remove when dry. ‘To check the weinkling of the skin on your hands, cleanse them each night ing your hands and before going out- doors. LOIS LEEDS. Falling Hair After Fever. Dear Miss Leeds: Last May I had scarlet fever and in August my hair started to fall out. Several people have told me to shave it, but I do not want to. Will you give me some treat- ment that will make my hair thick and healthy? I am 13 years old and 5 feet 5 inches tall. B. M. 8. Answer—It is usual to shave the head at the time of a severe fever, but in your case I think a close bob would do, in addition to regular scalp treat- ments, Do not worry about the loss of hair, as it is only the dead hairs that come out and new ones will grow in their places. Here is a good scalp tonic that you may apply after your shampoo and twice a week besides: One ounce olive oil, 4 drams cologne water, 4 ounces bay rum, 1 dram tincture of cinchona. After parting the hair apply this with a medicine dropper directly to the scalp. Massage the scalp thor- oughly every night and brush and comb your hair well every day. Build ! up your general health. The average | weight for your age and height is 112 pounds. LOIS LEEDS, Sitting vs. Standing. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) My friend thinks that sitting all day at her work makes the hips spread and that stand- ing makes calves and ankles enlarged. Is this s0? (2) I am 17 years old, 5 feet 5% inches tall and weigh 120 pounds. My measurements are: Ankle, 8%; calf, 14; thigh, 20; hips, 36; bust, 32; waist, 26. I have brown hair, blue eyes and a medium skin. What colors may I wear? Are my measurements good? (3) How can I make thick lips seem smaller and can I get rid of blackheads? SUE LOVE. Answer—(1) She is right. She may take exercise to reduce her hips. If she has to stand she should wear com- fortable shoes with low heels and arch supports. Standing for long periods causes varicose veins. It would be bet- ter to have a position where one might sit part of the time and stand or walk other times. (2) You should weigh between 124 and 127 pounds. Your | measurements are good except your bust, which is rather small. You may wear flesh, dull rose, dull orchid, red | as trimming, blue-green, dark green, dark and medium blues, dull yellow, brown, tan, cream, black. (3) Do not use rouge on your lips. I shall be glad to mail you my instructions on treatments for blackheads. Please . (send a stamped, self-addressed en- velope for them. LOIS LEEDS.

It is known that much information of a military nature reaches the Con- federates from the city. Although many spies have been detected or arrested on suspicion, it is believed that others are still operating. NANCY PAGE Joan Gets Dress of Challis and Coat of Wool BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Joan had a new dress. She called her doll's attention to it just as soon as Aunt Nancy had slipped it over her curly head. Joan liked pretty clothes, but was being taught to take them as a matter of course. She was not going to be the kind of child wio preened herself like a peacock every time she acquired a new frock. This particular little dress was made of challis in a small-flowered pattern. The pockets and collar had scalloped edges finished in buttonhole stitch in robin-egg brought out the printed pattern on the cream challis background. The hem panties are under the dress. The coat and cap made a warm and attractive ensemble. When Joan was buttoned into this outfit and the collar was turned up around her round face she looked snug and warm as a baby robin under its mother’s wing. The coat was short, as are all clothes for little girls. Uncle Peter scoffed and was to keep her throat warm when her bare knees shivered and shook. Aunt Nancy knew there was sense in his question, but she defended herself on | the ground that Joan had leggings which were almost as long as her legs, take her with us in the machine and you know how warm we keep her in that.” Cold days bring good appetites.

It was quite jolly. “It has always struck me that you are more interested in men than in women—in your novels. Aside from Clementina and Stella Maris—" “Oh, well, one can make the men do so much more.” “Scme of our modern novelists are letting their women do quite a lot.” I;Ah' yes. But not a lady—not a ady.” “Ladies seem to be abandoning novels these days.” Somehow we were laughing again. “Norma Talmadge has been any- thing but a lady in her last few pic- tures. Somehow, I'd like to make her a lady in this one I shall write, if she'll let me. I dare say, for motion picture requirements, less of a lady makes for better drama.” “There isn't ang more or less about it. Movie storics have angels and hellions in them. The lady proper will be an innovation.” Our laughter took on a gayer tempo. “I shall be interested to hear a phil- osopher’s reactions to Movieland, say, three months hence. It will be inter- esting,” T said. “Perhaps,” said Mr. Locke. “I con- sider it a charming city. Rilly, that lighted tower on your main thqrough- fare is splendid at night; quite splen- did., Everybody seems very kind and very. charming—"" “Will you write dialogue for the pic- ture?” “No,” said Mr. Locke very decisively. “Mr. Schenck is not at all decided about the talkie thing. In my opinion, the illusion is destroyed—often. The char- acter speaks and his voice comes straight out at you. Then he turns his head, thus, and the voice still com straight out at you. But, still, again, you can't tell—they may turn out to be quite good one of these days: quite good. Everything must have a begin- ning, you know.” W were laughing again. We laughed over the Riviera, over Grasse anc Cannes: recalled the Reserve de Beau- licau and other favorite haunts. Mr. Locke admitted he had at last “been fed up on sunshine.” Which brought us back to Hollywood again. There's plenty of it here.” I ventured to say so. “But a very meffow, charming sun- light,” said the courteous Mr. Locke. “Just the same,” said I, “it will be funny to hear ur theories three mml‘?t,:“ fml;lel ml" 7 | . “Remember, it was you who said | that, not I1.” > | We roared with laughter as we shook | hands, and Mr. Locke, with fine gusto, |turned to tell his opinions of Holly- | weod women to another interviewer | (Copyright. 1928. by North American News | Daver Alliance.)
