WOMA N'S PAGE. Attractive Type of Evening Frock BY MARY To the girl who asks advice in mak- ing a new evening gown I would recom- mend with enthusiasm some one of the new figured metallic fabrics, combined with chiffon or georgette. It takes rare skill to make a frock entirely out of crepe satin or the new stiffer satin and WINE RED CHIFFON METAL BRO- CADE FORMS THE BODICE AND MATCHING RED CHIFFON THE DRAPED SKIRT OF THIS WEAR- ABLE EVENING GOWN, CUT IV‘VIINTEH THE NEW TYPE V NECK- an all-chiffon frock is not easy. Usu- ally the amateur gets better results when she uses two sorts of material in the same frock. A type of evening frock that should MARSHALL. offer no difficulties to the amateur is one consisting of an overbloyse effect of the metallic material with draped skirt of chiffon or georgette mounted on a shorter slip of matching silk crepe extending above the bust beneath the overblouse and provided with narrow straps attached to the metallic straps at the shoulder. The frock, of course, goes on all in one, but the overblouse ?a not attached to the skirt at the lower ge. Let me go further and suggest old Burgundy for the color. The top should be made of chiffon metal bro- cade—gold figures on a chiffon founda- tion—and the skirt of matching geor- gette or chiffon. Black chiffon brocade with gold figures used with plain black chiffon or georgette is also generally attractive. Of course the metallic ma- terial is rather expensive, but only a I\ateller is needed and it practically trims The edges are easily finished. Bias bands of the chiffon or georgette should be made aboyt a half inch in width. They should be stitched along the decolletage, the arm openings and along the lower edge, then turned back in the form of narrow hems and sewed down by hand. The lower edge of the skirt and the drapery is best finished by means of picot. The overbodice of the metallic ma- terial should be carefully fitted so that it fits rather closely beneath the arms, snugly at the hips, with enough full- ness just above the hips to provids the fiattering blouse effect.

A letter from one of my youngc: readers asking how much weight she could lose by fasting two weeks has pmm&mfl me to devnte today's beauty talk to a discussion of the risk in dras- tic reducing programs. How far may one go in this direction without losing one's health? Complete abstinence from food and water for a little more than a week results in death. Most fasters, how- ever, drink water and thus prolong their lives for a much longer period. ‘Those who undertaks these long :sts usually do so for publicity or to prove & theory. At the'end of their f-sts they are in a serious conditien of col- lapse. Of course, girls and women who wish to lose weight do not do so with the deliberate intention of undermin- ing their health or of committing sui- cide, and yet many do just that be. cause they fail to use moderation in Tollowing reducing diets. There are in general two classes of ‘women who harm themselves by reduc- ing. The first is the large group of young girls who strive to keep their weight below normal in order te be fashionably thin. The second is com- posed of those who reduce at too rapid a rate b- fasting, violent exercise or the use of drugs. Freak diets that fail to supply the body with a balanced ration of pro- teins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins may be effective in reducing weight, but they also cause disease. 1t is unwise to omit entirely any one of the five food elements. The fattening foeds (ctarches, fats and sugars) may be limlled in the reducing diet, but should not be eliminated. The sensible way to cut down on those fattening items is to incluje only one sort of food from each of thece three groups in one's daily diet. For example, if you eat potatoes. do not eat any bread, rice, cereal, canned corn or macaroni at the same meal. If you eat butter, do not take any mayonnaiss dressing, cream, bacon, rich gravy or any other fats at that meal, If you take a little sugar in your coffee, do not put any on cereal or fruit, and do not take any jelly or sweet cakes. While there are few would-be re- ducers who have the gelf-control to fast to the point of death, there are thou- sands who keep themselves in a half- starved, anemic condjtion, which makes them easy vietims to disease. When these latter come to an untimely end, death is not always attributed to their weakening reducing diet, but to the ;:&nlculnr infection that carried them off. Perhaps the greatest damage that results from unwise reducing methods is the enormous lowering of efficiency that they cause among psople whe con- sider themselves in good health, but who are really always just below par physically and mentally because or a poorly balanced diet. These are the people who miss success by a small margin, because at the eritical mo- x:n;&tdthg lack a ;fi;rve of energy tr % Ve ve enal them gras their opportunity. 5 i (Copyright, 1928, MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 12— Half the fun in producing sound ic- is finding where the nunap is from. Which sounds like a paradox, but Teally isn't if yeu know the inside-out of the new and difficult process. Get- ting the artist's voice one thing; ridding it of the “s” sound is another; eliminating the lisp is a third, But keeping static rattles out of tk: finished prodwct is more work than all the others combined. Silk is the deadly enemy of the sound picture. Silk hosiery, rubbing together, make no audible noise to those in the soundproof room where the picture is being made. But when the reel is run off .for a trial a distressing, rattling noise results. So bare legs become the order in sound pictures. Stars have to wear batiste lingerie. Silk undergarments produce the same static that hosiery dees. Responsibility of the wardrobe ‘mistress and director is doubled thereby. No tafeta frocks can be used at all. Silk linings must be taken out of coats. Of course, jing- ling of beads or metal trinmmi; t of the question. . sloongi Recently Alice White was making a | % £.ind picture, the repeated tests of which revealed a distressing static. She protested that she was wearing nothirz mads of silk, but the wardrobe mistress was finally called in to pass on her underclothing and verify {t. ‘When cameramen, director and tech- nical staff were nearly insane trying t locate the mischie! it was discovered that the static was caused by the elec- tricity in Alice White’s hair, which had been washed and ed. The hair- dresser was sent in and the head prop- ;21‘; oiled, which did away with the Russell Gleason had all the silk lin- ings taken out of his coats for a recent sound picture. Bob Armstrong had to substitute the soft wool sporis clothes picture. The rubbing of the rotgh material wrecked the sound results. Al Santell deduces from his experi- ments with sound, both in Hollyweod and New York, that chiffon gowns and frocks of the softest materials will be a vogue for the coming year, probably due to the fact that these are the ‘-~as of clothes which stars will wear in the new films, But take heart, girls' Hollywood only thinks she dictates the fashions of the feminine world. Paris is still doing business at the old stand. ‘When you hear of the trial girls, think of Mona Rica, a lit c2n lassie who worked as an e Hollywood for just eight deys. 2 i- ra in the corduroys he was wearing in a | Her 'a crime.” hands were so lovely that the director picked her for & bit wif X iy th a close-up of The entire close-up was so vood that Mona Rics, who had never seen the inside of a studio until a couple of months ago, is now in the picture with Camilla Horn, Hobart Boswerth, Victor Varceni and John Barrymore.

I was keepin' Mrs. Brown’s baby an' thought it swallowed my nickel, but it was just a tobacco tag.” A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Glory of the Hereafter. ‘Text: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear | heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Gm! hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians, 1i.9. Olinthus Gilbert Gregory, astronomer, mathematician and philosopher, closes his “Treatise on Astronomy” with the following statement of his belief in a higher and more wonderful life than we | know on earth: “We must consider our present state as only the dawn of our existence, a state of preparation for something far more exalted and grand than anything the eye hath beheld or the most lofty imagination hath conceived. We mav. however, even now form extensive and noble conceptions of the immensity of the universe and of the unbounded power and wisdom of the Almighty Creator, and we may look forward to that happy period when we shall drink full draughts from the fountainhead of knowledge, reioicing above all things that our hope rests not upen ingenuous speculations, but that God hath brought |life and immortality to light through the Gospel.” Here is a statement from a modern scholar, not a theclogian, quite in line with the familiar r-ostolic uttzrance of the text. It is gratifying to find such scholars, aside from those en- gaged directly in theological pursuits, glying such utterance to our common religious beliefs and hopes. As Mr. Gregory puts it, the life he- yond will be “far more exalted and grand than anything the eye hath be- held or the most lofty imagination hath conceived.” It is not given to mortal eyes to see the wondrous glory which will be revealed in the hereafter. While the Bible tells us much about the after life, when we awake to its reali- ties we will exclaim, as did the Qucen of Sheba when she beheld the glories of Solomon, “The half was never told!” Charles Dickens, 181270, was s famaus iist, author of “Plekwick Pa: Peretn.

But when he took up his hat and re- paired to the Peacock Inn he did not know that Mr. Winkle had conveyed the news of the fancy ball there before im. him. “Mrs. Pott's going” were the first werds with which he saluted his leader. “Is she?” said Mr. Pickwick, “As Apollo,” replied Mr. Winkle. “Only Pott objects to the tunic.” “He is right; he is quite right,” said Mr. Pickwick emphatically. “Yes. So she's going to wear a white satin gown with gold spangles.” 5 “They'll hardly know what she's meant for, will they?” inquired Mr. Snoy gusl “Of course they will” replied Mr. Winkle lnm{nmtly. “They’ll see her Iyre, won't they?” “True. I forgot that,” said Mr, Snod- grass. “I shall go as a bandit,” interrupted Mr. Tupman. “What!” said Mr. Pickwick with a sudden start. “As a bandit,” reneated Mr. Tupman mildly. “You don’t mean to say,” said Mr. Pickwick, gazing with solemn stern- ness at his friend; “you don't mean to say, Mr. Tupman, that it is your inten- tion to put yourself into a green velvet Jjacket with a 2-inclh tail?"” “Such is my intention, sir,” replied :‘dr. Tupman warmly. “And why not, “Because, sir,” sald Mr. Pickwick, considerably excited; “because you are too old, sir.” “Too old!” exclaimed Mr. Tupman. “And if any further ground of objec- tion be wanting,” continued Mr. Pick- wick, “you are too fat, sir.” “Sir," sald Mr. Tupman, his face suffused with & crimeson glow, “this is an insult.” “8ir,” replied Mr. Pickwick in the same tone, “it is not half the insult to you that your appearance in my pres- ence in a green velvet jacket with a 2- inch tail would be to me.” “Sir,” sald Mr, Tupman, “you are a fellow!” sald Mr. Pickwick, “gir,” another!” Mr. Tupman advanced a step or two and glared at Mr. Pickwick. Mr. Pick- wick returned the glare, concentrated into a fecus by means of his spectacles, and breathed a bold defiance. Mr., Snodgrass and Mr, Winkle looked on, petrified at besholding such a c.ene be- tween two such men. “Sir,” said Mr. Tupman, after a short pause, speaking in a low, deep voice, ed me old!” sald Mr. Pickwick. “you're 1 repeat the charge.” “And a fellow!” “So you are.” There was a fearful pause. i “My attachment to your person, sir, said Mr. Tupman, speaking in a voice tremulous with emotion and tucking up his wristbands meanwhile, “is great— very great—but upon that person I must, take summary venzeance.” “Come on, sir!” replied Mr, Pick- wick, o/ Stimulated by the exciting nature of the dialogue, the heroic man actually threw himself into a paralytic attitude, confidently supposed by the two by- standers fto r;ave been intended as a sture of defense. w“whm",dexclnimed Mr. Snodgrass, suddenly Tecovering the power cf speech, of which intense astonishment had previously bereft him, and rushing between the two at v‘l;ne é{nminentth hatnrd of receiving an application on the tem- ple from cfich. “what!

There were the usual Smiths, Browns and others, but rary a notable on the list. Passing through the foyer, we ran into ons of the most distin- guished and pralific of American au- thors.

You will wear the green velvet jacket?” “No, no!” replied Mr. Tupman. - “To oblige me, you will,” resumed Mr. Pickwick. “Well, well, I will,” said Mr. Tupman. It was accordingly settled that Mr. Tupman, Mr. Winkle and Mr. Snod- grass should all wear fancy dresses. Thus Mr. Pickwick was led bv the very warmth of his own good feelings to give his consent to a proceeding from which his better judgment would have recoiled; a more striking illus~ tretion of his amiable character could hardly have been conceived, even if the events recorded in these pages had been wholly imaginary. Mr. Leo Hunter had not exaggerated the resources of Mr. Solomon Lucas as a costume outfitter. His wardrobe was extensive—very extensive—not, strictly classical, perhaps, nor quite new; nor did it contain any one garment made precisely after the fashion of any age or time, but everything was more or less spangled—and what can be pret- tier than spangles? It may be objected that the spangles are not adapted to the daylight, but everybody knows that they would glit- ter if there were lamps; and nothing can be clearer than that if pc-~le give fancy balls in the d- time and the dresses do not show quite as well as they would by night, the fault lies solely with the people who give the ancy balls and is in nowise charge- able on the spangles. Such was the convincing reasoning of Mr. Solomon Lucas. Influenced by such arguments, Mr. Tupman, Mr. Winkle and Mr. Snodgrass engaged to array themselves in costumes which his taste and experience induced him to recommand as admirably suited to the occasion. Mr. Tupman was in full brigand’s costume—tight jacket, velvet shorts, bandaged lower legs, mustache, sugar-loaf hat. Mr. Snodgrass wore blue satin trunks and cloak, white silk tights and shoes and Grecian helmet— 8 troubadour. Mr. Winkle in a light rec: coat—either a sportsman or a postman. Books on Cookery In Public Library For those who try out a recipe for the pleasure of it, and for those to whom cooking presents a serious day- by-day problem, the variety of cook books at the Washington Public Li- brary may be helpful. Are your chil- dren finicky with their foeod? Does your choice in vegetables lack variety? Do you know all the arts and advan- tages of casserole cookery? Do you want new ideas in your menu for your next dinner party or a sandwich filler for a tea? The public Library suggests the following books to answer these questions and others: “How to Cook for Children,” by Mrs. E. M. Reilly. The auther, a mother of gix children, felt the need of studying their food requirements. The aim of the boek is to set forth with the utmost practicality the problems of selecting and preparing food for small children. “The Book of Green Vegetables: How to Choose and Serve Them in 200 ferent Ways,” by Mollie Gold and El- eanor Gilbert. The 39 varieties of green vegetables have been tested in American kitchens, and many have won high praise from finical tamilies, blase vege- tarians, as well as from perscns who erish stubborn prejudices against all kinds of greens. “Breakfasts, Luncheons and Din- ners,” by M.

One day they gathered as usual and as the reports from the track came in they became vastly ex- cited. Each of their entries was win- ning. . Without waiting for the return of their track representative they fore- gathered at a favorite refreshment resort and began to set 'em up for the crowd. It was a clean-up and the boys intended that every one, friend and stranger alike, should participate in the ‘fiesuvmas dedicated to their victorious ay. As they were in the midst of the celebration the commissioner walked in. Without a moment’s hesitation the gang rushed him and dragged him to a glass. Then they vhrew their arms around him and embraced him with joy. ‘When he was finally able to extricate himself he said, “Boys, I'm sorry, but I couldn'’t get to the track today.

November 12, 1876.—Although it is now five days since the presidential election, more uncertainty and con- fusion with regard to the result reigned today than at any time since election day, November 7. It cannot yet be said with any degree of certainty whether Gov. Hayes, the Republican candidate, or Gov. Tilden, the Democratic candi- dates has been elected President. The uncertainty at this time is due prin- cipally to the disputes over who has won the electoral votes of Florida and Louisiana. Apparently only an official count will settle the matter, and even then it is likely that there will be charges of fraud which are already being made in some quarters, by the losing side. These charges may delay for weeks or even months the final determination of the matter. The result is so close that it may easily hang upon the electoral votes of either Florida or Louisiana, or any other State for that matter, where there is a dispute as to the result. The official count already has begun in Seuth Carolina, where it is reported unofficially that a small majority was gained by Hayes. The officlal count will not begin in Louisiana until four or five days from now, and there is no certainty when it will be completed. The Florida board of election super- vicors reports that it will probably not be able to complete its work under two weeks and it may take much longer. No matter how the official count in the disputed States may go, it is ex- pected that the result will continue to be dispated by the losing side. The Republican newspapers are claiming that Hayes has won 185 and Tilden 184 electoral votes, but they admit that is too close for comfort. To reach this total of 185 the Republican leaders are including most, if not all, of the dis- puted States. ‘The New York Graphic, a copy of which was received here today, states the case as follows: “According to the laws of human mortality, one of this whole number (of presidential electors) will die within the month which elapses ?;3! to counting the votes in the sev- capitals on December 6. If two Hayes men should die. and if, as is probable, there should be no provision for filling the vacancies by appoint- ment, the 184 Democratic electors could outvote the remaining 183 Republican electoss and make Tilden President.” If one Hayes elector should die, of 3. cenlb 0 cents 'r pound and lverlnnd .84 cents per pound.—Advertise- ment. e course, the result would be a tie.
