WOMA N’S PAGE. Facts About Ensemble Buying BY MARY It has taken many seatons to break down the notion among women that the ensermble made and sold as such is more expensive than separate garments bought separately. There are still wem- en who insist that while they can afford PRACTICAL THREE-PIECE SUITS CONSISTS OF A GREEN CHECKED TWEED JACKET AND SKIRT WITH TOPCOAT OF THE SAME MATERIAL. 10 buy a dress or a suit with a separate blouse and a topcoat they cannot afford to buy a dress with matching coat or a suit, blouse and topcoat all at once. If you can actually show these women that the price paid for the assembled gar- ment is as low as, possibly lower than, BEAUTY CHATS Getting Fat. ‘When it's a question of weight most of my readers want to get thin. Occa- sionally, however, I get a letter from some woman who's tried desperately to put on t without any success. ‘Without to be discouraging, I must al her that it is much easier to get thin than to get fat. You must remember that you can always stop eating, or at least reduce the amount of your food, and that by so doing you must reduce your weight. It is Jmoet an automatic process. But by increasing your diet you will very frequently find your only reward is in- digestion. ‘The woman who eats much and stays thin is often giving her stomach so much food that it cannot handle it. It passes, partly digested, through the sys- tem and eventually will cause her a lot of trouble. So the first thing to do, in my opinion, is to give the stomach a complete rest for a few days. If prac- tical, go one entire day without food, drinking glasses of hot"water at two or three hour intervals. The first thing in the morning, however, drink the Jjuice of two large oranges. The second day take again the juice of two large oranges for breakfast, and at three- hour intervals drink a half glass of milk.

BY EDNA KENT FORBES THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JORN MUNOR, JB. Today we take up the question of ad- vaneing your partner's bid, partner having made & suit bid. It is much harder to define what would be & raise in a suit bid than for a no trump, as there are combinations to0 numerous to mention in this talk, which aré - nizged as what are known as ‘“suit raisers.” 1 propose to give you some of the simplest rules for raising wy‘mu partner when he has made a suit X Before we begin the discussions of the situations which arise following a suit bid, it seems pertinent to again repeat what constitutes normial sup- port in trumps in & suit bid. Normal support in trumps is three small cards of the suit bid, or ace and one small card, king and one small card, or the ueen-jack, and your partner expects you to hold in addition to the trumps one quick trick, and all advancing bids hinge on this. We can count in 8 suit bid as distinguished from & no trump a quick trick as being an ace, a king and queen of the same suit, ingle- ton or a blank suit. To raise your partner in a suit bid it is necessary to have normal support in trumps plus two quick tricks, or one of those com- binations which are recognized as a raise. It is usual when suit bids are in question to speak of quick tricks or one of these recognized combinations as & one raise, as distinguished from the quick trick count used in no trump. ‘There are seven situations whic) arise following a suit bid, and we will take these up and answer as simply as possible the auestion, “What is the minimum holding necessary to advance my partner's suit bid from 1 to 22" The first situation which arises is when dealer has bid a suit bid and there has been an intervening bid of one no trump. This bid of one no trump indicates to you that your part- ner must have bid on merely the mini- mum requirement, because the no trump bid of your opponent indicated at least one definite stop in the suit bid by your partner ns strength in other suits as well. Therefore, to raise your partner from one to two you must supplement his hand with definite strength, and you should hold either normal support in trumps plus two raises, or four trumps with an honor and one raise. To illustrate, dealer bids one heart, second hand one no trump and third hand holds the ‘This hand contains normal l:ggon in trumps, plus the needed strength to raise partner’s bid of one heart to two earts. To illustrate the hand where there are four trumps with an honor and one raise, dealer has bid one heart, second Unless there is an obstruction or a definite disease in the alimentary sys- tem, this three-day liquid diet will have washed out and refreshed stomach, kid- neys, liver and bowels, which should incidentally completely clear ur the skin.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. One of the more substantial business men of this town delights, so he assures us, in our column, and he wonders if he can't have it just for a day to tell what he knows about women. He has taken measures to see to it that his wife some- how misses today’s edition because— well, women don’t always understand these things. ‘We are quoting him, remember, with- out bothering with troublesome “quotes” or_quotation marks. Most women arrive at an age or state of mind when they begin to doubt whether they hold the love of their busy busbands. Their husbands begin to show a preoccupation in their business affairs and spend more time at their offices and devote a good deal of their outside time to business conferences and talks with business associates. It’s at this stage of life that they can- not eeem to remember wedding anniver- sary or birthday dates and they often disappoint their wives by forgetiing all about parties and dinners, ‘They arrive home at 7:30, some of them, with three or four unexpected guests and they even forget to .apolo- gize for their thougtlessness in not phoning ahead. The wife may or may not believe that her husband’s time is spent in legitimate pursuits. But whether or not she does, one fact is a fair certainty. She begins to think the way to let her husband be keenly aware of her pres- ence is to spend money, and. spend it with two free. hands. That's one way to call themselves to their husband's attention, and in MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

Of course, when called to account they give conventional reasons for their spending. One might as well get some benefit out of one’s husband's slavery.

Well, in his case he said his wife is a level-headed woman. She accused him of being un- faithful. She told him she'd rather get along on what they had than trade for whatever more he could make. He admitted that pleased him, and he dis- covered what a wonderful little woman his wife is, all over again. (Wil this help you, E. M. G.?) A Sermon for Today BY REV. JORN R. GUNN. Bread of Deceit. “Bread of deceit is sweet to & man, but afterward his mouth shall-be filled with gravel."—Prov., Xx.17. “Bread of deceit” may mean either of two things, and perhaps means both. It may mean any good obtained by de- ceit or good which deceives in it pos- session. In the former meaning it would apply to unjustly gotten gain. In the latter meaning it applies to all the worthless gains and lying delights of life. In either case the result is the same. When one eats the “bread of deceit,” whether in the one form or the other, “afterward his mouth shall be filled with gravel.” ol “Bread of deceit is sweet to & man. In another proverb Solomon says: “Stolen waters are sweet, bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” There is no use to deny that. We see all about us men rolling in the luxury of wealth obtained unjustly. Others we see go- ing in for the vain treasures and pleas- ures of the world, and these they roll under their tongues as sweet morsels. But such sweetness in its very essence is momentary, and even while being masticated “bread of deceit” turns into gravel. “Afterward.” Men trying to satisty their hun; desires with the * of deceit” forget that there is an “after- ward.” But the “afterward” is ll'lyz there, and in the form of a “gravel which breaks the teeth, irritates the gums, interferes with breathing and ministers no nourishment. One says, “If I could but get this or that, what a sweet satisfaction it would be.” But bitter consequences always follow in the train of sweet satisfac- tions which are wrong. Nothing which is sweet and wrong keeps its sweetness very long. Sweet at first but bitter at last is the bread of deceit.

NANCY PAGE Femininity in Clothes May Deteriorate. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “You man be sure of one thing, Lois, women are discovering curves and bulges they never knew they possessed, not un- til they tried on new clothes. They need to do some exercising, some corset- ing, some reduci in spots. the niew fashions I believe they need to do something else.” Nancy was speak- ing on one of her favorite subjects— lothes. 1 “We have had simple, straight-line clothes for so long that the coming of the fi int won , dressy, feminine clothes has the fancy of all of us. We whether we can't be seductive and alluring, too. So we choose the clothes with ruffies, bows and other er touches. Then we wonder why we get tired of our clothes g0 soon and why the reflection the mirror shows us i8 s0 unflattering. Dresses with too much trimming have that homemade look. Look at these two illustrations and you will see what I mean.” Lois obediently looked. ‘“See that first figure—that is a youthful dress on a uthful person. She can stand bows in {fi. back and on the sleeves and an un- relieved waistline. The older woman needs a bolero with pleated edge to hide too much hips or waistline.

DIAR, DOROTHY DIX—Every once in a while, you, or some one else, writes bout the mother's heart that yearns and e clat bat seems to think that a father's heart can break that has died, but no one ever breaks for the babe for the little one that has gone just as much, and in some cases more, than the mother's. Three years ago we lost a little boy. At first my e was rostrated, but with the coming of another child she seems to have got over t, while I grieve more all the time. I never mention it to her or any one else, but often I feel that I cannot carry on, but I know I must for the sake of the others who are dependent upon me. it seems to me that my boy reaches out his little arms from and y y“Why did you let me die when I so and calls to me and asks me: Night after night I lie awake 1 the l;'de Ve to live?” No, it is not only the mother’s heart that breaks JUST A FATHER. Answer: I do not know why we glorify mother love more than we do father love, or why we think of e tie between mother and child as being stronger than that between father and child. Perhaps it is because in infancy the child is more dependent upon the mother than it is upon the father, and because more fathers than mothers desert their children. In divorces it is nearl always the mother who asks for the children's custody. Many men are willing to sacrifice their children in order to marr; children for a lover. a flapper, but very few women are willing to give up their 8o, taking it by and large, perhaps women, as a C]lfi‘,u do love their children more than men, but there are many exceptions to rule. There are women who have no maternal instinct whatever and whose feeling for their children is that of an _animal for its young.' They never show their children any tenderness, or affection, and push them out of their way as soon as they can. And there are men who are All Father and whose love for their children is the consuming passion of their lives. It should nor are its sacrifices less costly than children's pleasure and is well for us to exalt mother love and pay equal honor to father love for its h 11 bmmthml‘ fthzththeél .l:n ts brate in song and story the self-abnegation of mother who puf a r{llpplnesl before her own; who cradles them in ay our tribute to it, but we votion is not less beautiful, We cele- her her arms when they are babes; who watches beside their sick beds; whose hands never weary in ministering to them; who denies herself to give to them.

It is she who weeps upon our breasts, but if we could see into the hearts of the bereaved parents, very often we would know that the one who suffers more is the quiet, gray- faced fether who must hide his grief and go on with his daily work because others depend upon him. “Men do not feel these things as a mother does,” say women, “because a man eannot indulge himself in the luxury of telling his but in many a father’s heart is buried in man stjll mourns, after half a century, the child he has lost, and sen bitter wall: ‘Absalom, my son, my son Absalom, would thee, sorrow to the world, a little grave, and many an old up the God I had died for ROTHY DIX. s s e DEAR DOROTHY DIX—My husband and I have adopted a child that we adore. I want to leave the place we are living in and go to a distant city where no one will know that this child is not our own, because I am afraid that when he is grown some one may tell him that he is an adopted child and that would break my heart. But my husband refuses to go. I feel this is unfair to the child. What shall I do? UNHAPPY MOTHER. Answer: Of course the child will find out he is an adopted child, but no matter where you would go he would still find it out because somebody would bob up who knew it. ‘Therefore, the sensible thing to do is to tell the child so yourself so the_knowledge him. And hat you are not his real pa if he is the right sort of stuff he will love you all the better rents will never come as a shock to for your having given him the care and affection that his own parents might ve given him.

But the little witch-hazel closes the list of all the flowers of the season now, blooming in late Autumn when its leaves have dropped. Alder catkins hang out powdery gold curls when the song sparrow begins to chant irrepressible thpmess over the earth. The witch-hazel hears few bird songs, save the dm_h:mn' pewee’s monotonous threnody. e flower of alder is a soft and jocund catkin, akin to pussy-willow. ‘The witch-hazel belongs to a strange little family, rather unlike any other, and it has four long, narfow petals of a sort of greeny-gold—a color so subtle, indeed, that we all of us frequently miss seeing it altogether, though we may motor through a little copse of witch- hazel on any Maryand or Virginia hill. One has to go walking in the woods to find it. There by some little rill, softly talking to itself, this gnarly shrub is found in bloom—a strangely spare and bleak little blossom, bursting forth from the dark wood. Few people know that witch-hazel has a delicious odor, for the reason that in the atmosphere in which it ws and the frosty temperature of these days odors do not carry far and, having all outdoors to dmlg:m in, are never con- centrated. But bring a spray of witch- hazel into the house, set it in a silver jar and light .the fires, and as the room grows warmer its sweet aroma will fill all the room. I know not with what to compare this odor, since it is absolutely unique—that desideratum of the great perfume experts who spend their lives trying to find an odor no nose has ever sniffed before.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Curling Lotion, Witch-Hazel. Dear Miss Leeds: Would you kindly give me directions for making the home- made curling lotion that appeared in your column a short time -,o. I tried it and liked it so much, but I have mis- laid the paper and cannot find it. It did not make my hair greasy and my finger wave stayed in more than two weeks. (2) Do you approve of witch- hazel being used on the skin as an astringent? Can it be used daily with- out harmful results? My skin is in- clined to be oily. Do I need the witch- hazel treatment? JEAN. Answer—The following recipe ap- peared a short time ago, but as I have published several curling lotions at dif- ferent times I am not very sure as to the one you mean. Here is a useful lotion: Half ounce quince seed or flax seed, one pint distilled water, one and a half ounces alcohol, two ounces co- logne-water or rose-water. Boil the seed and water gently in a double bofler until the liquid is reduced to one-half. Then strain it through cheesecloth and cream is necessary, however. little with your fingertips, using an up- ward,. rotary movement. Then remove the excess éream with a tissue square. This will leave the skin smooth so that your powder will not look rough and flaky. Use a mild skin lotion after cleansing your face with clelnlln, cream and after washing with ng an water. LOIS 3 Scraggly Eyebrows. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I have black hair, brown eyes and medium com- plexion. What colors are becoming? (2) My hair is very dry, due to waving with hot irons. (3) Hairs grow between the inner ends of my eyebrows to make them look as if they are joined to- gether, which I do not like. Please tell me how to remove them.

I need a coat for Winter. Would a brown cloth with brown fur suit my type? I am 29 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall. What should I weigh? MRS. G. R. W. Answer—The following colors are par- ticularly becoming for your type: Deep cream, warm browns and tans, pale yellow, bronze green, English green, re- seda and bottle green, pearl gray, dark warm reds, such as garfiet, ruby, bur- gundy and the new wine shades, mus- tard, amber, greenish-blues, plum color, brick-red, soft brownish reds, russet, rust and beige. Use turquoise, orchid or shell-pink in sheer fabrics for eve= ning. (2) A warm nut-brown coat trimmed with lighter brown fur would be very becoming. Dark cloth coats are trimmed with light shades of fur, and lighter shades of cloth coats are trimmed with darker fur for contrast for this Winter's wear. (3) The ideal weight for your age and height is be- tween 128 and 136 pounds. LOIS LEEDS. Suitable Face Powder. Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me how to choose a good face powder and the shade for my type. I have a medium My skin is rather dry and sensitive. do not know which brand to use. EDNA M. Answer— (1) You will be safe in using the products of well established an reliable firms that manufacture cos- metics and face powders. Choose a fine, light-weight, emollient face pow- der of natural or rachel shade. I regret that I cannot name or recommend any particular brand of cosmetics to my readers. Your type of skin needs a thin film of foundation cream before low, amber and eggshell. (2) Change your method of waving for a time. Have your hairdresser give vou a finger wave in place of the marcel wave. Use the warm oil treatment before the shampoo. Wash your hair with a reliable shampoo, pure Castile soap, olive oil shampoo or liquid tar soap. Rinse it shoroughly in several tepid waters. Dry between warm towels. Be sure to mas- sage your scalp and brush your hair regularly night and morning. Use an oily scalp salve to the scalp about twice a week. (3) ile the very thin, plucked eyebrow is no longer the vogue, it is necessary to have the scraggly hairs that mar the natural curve of the eyebrows removed at regu- lar intervals. Have your hairdresser remove the fine hairs from_the brldfi of your nose with tweezers. Use a smal €yes. eyebrow brush for grooming your eye- I| brows every day. Moisten brush with olive ofl, vaseline or brilliantine and brush them from the edges so that the hairs will meet in a graceful arch through the center of the rows. LOIS LEEDS.
