Madam, a Voguish Silk Print for You
I
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
rVER since children started call-
ing mother by her first name,
mother has done her best to live up
to this indirect compliment by look
ing younger each year. She mas
sages and exercises until her figure
reverts to girlish proportions, and
having studied fashions intensive
ly in order to seek out lines and
colors that will do the most for her,
she makes a wise and happy choice
when she steps forth arrayed in a
costume of charming silk print that
causes all who behold to pay com
pliment to her perennial youth.
gor the woman whose years have
gone “fortyish” or which lead into
the “fascinating fifties,” life as it is
today holds interesting possibilities.
So often the complaint is voiced
that fashion news and pictures ut
terly ignore the needs of mature
women, catering only to the whims
of youth that glories in sylphlike
will o’ wisp figures. Well, now,
what about the charming fashions
herewith illustrated? Madam, of
“no-age” identity, these flattering
silk print costumes are pictured
especially for you.
The model centered in the group
is submitted as an ideal selection
for the woman engaged in a rounde
lay of daytime activities. Design
ers well versed in the art of dress
declare that scroll designs that
brighten monotones with a dash of
color are flattering to the important
figure as they do not appear spotty.
The model pictured presents a day
time dress of black-with-white-
scroll printed silk crepon worn un
der a full length unlined wool red-
ingote. It has a velvet collar and
is styled with a vent in the back so
SMART THREE-PIECE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Jacket suit plus a topcoat is the
three-piece outfit for spring that
will be your most economical buy
no matter how much you pay for
it. Costume suits such as pictured
are the smart thing for immediate
wear. This model is in the natural
wheat tones that are coming out in
full force this spring. For the coat
the designer uses a smart, nubbly
tweed that contrasts to the smooth
surfaced wool that makes jacket
and skirt. The relation of suit and
topcoat is accented in that the short
jacket is, as you will observe if you
look closely, bound with the iden
tical flecked wool that fashions the
long coat. With the topcoat removed
you have your spring tailored jacket
suit all ready to wear with the in
triguing blouses that are so impor
tant in current modes.
as to insure freedom in movement.
A white pique touch softens a be
coming high neckline. The bodice
top has a slenderizing long line and
carries two rows of tiny buttons re
peating the detail of the coat. The
attached skirt is box-pleated, the
pleats stitched down to keep the
hips slim. In reality this is a one-
piece dress with a two-piece look.
Note the very narrow belt.
A new silk print with a chintz
pattern in floral and leaf design as
shown to the right has a flattering
adjustable low V-neckline with sash
crossing under the bosom and tying
in the back. Well placed pleats
are released below the hipline to
give movement and interest to the
skirt. The effect of the double
waistline is becoming to short as
well as tall women. The Watteau
straw beret as worn with this cos
tume is the rage in Paris and the
promise is that it will be a leading
fashion not only for spring but
throughout the summer months.
Which means that milliners inspired
by the beautiful Watteau paintings
are creating “pretty lady” hats that
accent utterly feminine charm.
Silk evening prints in brilliant
pastels that flaunt huge, bold floral
designs are the outstanding mode for
evening. And so, now that we have
shown you a print costume for prac
tical day wear and a more dressy
print for afternoon functions, we
are completing the trio of prints
you’ll love to wear with a gorgeous
gown for formal evenings. See it
pictured to the left. How becoming
the huge scatter-florals can be to the
woman with the important figure
may be seen by this stunning eve
ning gown of black chiffon with dis
tinguished large multi-colored flow
er print. This lovely model may
also be had with a triangular scarf
to match that can be worn to soften
the neckline or, if you will, wear it
gracefully over the head as a pro
tection to the hair.

EVENING GOWNS OF
LACE FOR SUMMER
By CBEBIE NICHOLAS
Evening dresses are, of course,
the expected spot for lace to shine.
And so it does, but outside of all
the regular and expected places, it
takes new precedence in putting in
the note of color which is so very
chic for summer. In fact, the
surest sign of a new evening frock
is this two color idea. Pink venise
sleeves in a black dress, a red lace
bolero incrusted in a gray lace
dress, or a black lace bodice and
volant from the hips, as Worth sees
it, black over pink as Ardanse pre
fers to get her nude effects, bottle
green over gray as Paul Roy likes
his evening things, not to mention
the long white evening cape in lace
of Rosevienne or her incrustations
of green lace torsades in 9 black
lace dress. Piquet prefers to em
phasize his long corselet line with
lace just as he underlines the ruch-
ing of his slip skirts with either
maline or black val, but always in
contrast to the color of the fabric.
And has anything more ingenious
been thought of than his miniscule
lace striping (actually 2 millimeters
in width) of a day dress, looking
at a distance like a pencil stripe?
Bolero Gives Old Evening
Dress New Lease on Life
An old evening dress can take a
new lease on life, now that the bo
lero is offered in such a variety of
themes. Those who like a trim, tai
lored type of jacket will be interest
ed in the versions that are made of
sharkskin or printed linen.' They
have boyish collars and stitched
trimming.
White sharkskin is recommended
for wear over a black frock while
those printed linens will look well
with vivid or dark shades, especial
ly if the wearer is among the win
ter cruisers. Embroidered organ
die and shirred marquisette that are
available in white or pastel tints
transform a tailored costume into
a frivolous and a very feminine
one.

PROTEINS—
The Foods That You Cannot Live Without
Eminent Food Authority Explains Why No Protein Means
No Life—Describes the Kind and Amount Required for
the Best Growth in Children—Good Resistance, Vigor
and Endurance in Adults.
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th St.. New York.
F OOD is—and always has been—the central problem of life.
But only in recent years has its true power been revealed,
as a result of scientific investigation.
Fortunately, we now know what constitutes sound nutrition,
and it is possible for every homemaker to plan meals that will enable
her family to eat^,
their way to
health.
Topping the
list of food es
sentials are the
proteins. The
Dutch chemist,
Mulder, who hit
upon this name,
made a wise
choice, for it
means “to take
first place.” And certainly
the proteins are first in impor
tance. For they are the stuff
of which our bodies are built.
Without them, there would be
no life.
Every man, woman and child
has a fundamental need for pro
tein, because it is an essential
component of every living cell and
makes up a large part of the solids
of a muscle cell. Evidently, a great
many of the glandular principles
and substances, which control the
functions of the body, are also pro
tein in character.
Protein is the only food element
that contains nitrogen, and next to
water, nitrogen is the chief con
stituent of the human body.
Protein Builds Bodies.
A new born baby weighs, on an
average, from 7 to 7% pounds,
and the adult into which it grows
may weigh 20 to 30 times as much.
The vast amount of tissue neces
sary to construct a man is built
chiefly from protein.
Once the adult body is built,
however, protein is not required
for the growth of new tissues, ex
cept under certain conditions, such
as during pregnancy, when one
is recovering from a wasting ill
ness, or when an athlete is in
training and the muscles are in
creasing in size.
Keeps the Body in Repair.
There is, however, a maintenance re
quirement for protein which continues
throughout life, and which applies to
both children and adults. For the body
may be Compared to a machine, on
which it is necessary to npike allowance
for the wear and tear of parts. Protein
is the only substance that will rebuild
the millions of cells which each day
cease to function.
Thus, we see thatf protein per
forms two vital services—First, it
builds new tissues; second, it re
pairs worn-out tissues.
The Building Stones of the Body.
Protein is found in many dif
ferent foods, but unfortunately, not
all proteins are equally valuable.
That is because protein is a very
complex substance, resulting from
the union of 22 or more simpler
substances containing nitrogen,
and called amino acids. These are
the true building stones of the
body. Some protein foods may
have only 7 amino acids represent
ed in their substance; others may
have as many as 15 or 16, and
these also may be varied by the
proportions of the kinds present.
Proteins Vary in Value.
Some of these amino acids are
necessary to build new tissue;
others will not build tissue, but
are capable of repairing worn-out
cells. Some protein foods are,
therefore, more valuable to the
body than others.
It is absolutely essential that the
homemaker, charged with the re
sponsibility of feeding a family,
should be able to distinguish be
tween those types of protein which
are adequate for both growth and
repair, and those that are only
useful for maintenance.
For if the diet does not contain
an adequate amount, or the right
kind of protein, our bodies will be
badly built and they will be im
properly repaired and cannot wear
well. As Dr. Eugene V. McCollum
of Johns Hopkins university, the
world-famous investigator and dis
coverer of vitamin A, puts it: “Un
less the right kinds, with respect
to the size and shape, are fur
nished by the food proteins, the ex
act pattern on which the muscle
must be constructed cannot be
formed and, in this case, growth
is interfered with.”
If you were building a house you
would consider nothing less than
the finest materials. You would
know that cheap lumber and poor
ly made bricks could not produce
a lasting building. In the same
way, you must learn to discrimi
nate between the various types of
protein used for the supremely im
portant purpose of building your
children’s bodies, or keeping adult
physiques in perfect repair.
Some foods cost more than oth
ers and you should not be guilty
of spending hard-earned money for
expensive protein foods when the
same amount of nourishment could
be more economically obtained
from an inexpensive source.
Where to Find Protein.
Proteins are found in many dif
ferent foods, but unfortunately,
only a limited number of foods
supply proteins containing all the
amino acids necessary for both
growth and repair. Proteins that
will build new tissue, as well as re
place worn-out cells, are known
as complete proteins. In this class
we have meats, fish, cheese, milk,
eggs and some nuts.
Other proteins are adequate for
repairing worn-out tissue, but will
not support growth. Such incom
plete proteins are found in grains
and products made from them,
and in the legumes—that is peas,
beans, lentils and peanuts.
The proteins of these foods are
of high nutritive value, however,
and when supplemented with other
proteins, such as those of milk,
will meet every bodily require
ment.
How Much Protein?
The protein requirement varies
according to size, age, and the
kind of protein foods consumed.
To allow for growth, children require
twice as much protein per pound of
body weight as adults. That is to say,
an adult requires daily one-thirtieth of
an ounce for each pound of body weight,
but a child needs one-fifteenth of an
ounce for each pound of body weight.
The amount of protein food
should usually constitute from 10
to 15 per cent of all the calories
taken. If this plan is faithfully fol
lowed, there will be more than
enough to take care of every re
quirement, because experiments
indicate that a man who weighs
154 pounds, or 70,000 grams, needs
a minimum of 44 grams of protein
every day.
Eskimos eat two or three times
as much protein as most dwellers
in the temperate zone, but that is
because other foods are scarce.
In the tropics, on the other hand,
the consumption of protein is oft
en not more than half that of the
temperate zone.
An Adequate Protein Ration.
Milk and eggs are among the
finest forms of protein, and they
should have an especially impor
tant part in the diet, not only of
the growing child but of invalids,
prospective mothers, and the moth
er who is nursing a baby. If the
choice must be between milk and
eggs, milk should have first place
because it is usually cheaper in
proportion to the food value it sup
plies.
In planning the family dietary,
a safe rule to keep in mind is to
include in the daily diet: a quart
of milk for every child, a pint for
each adult; one egg, one serving
of meat, fish or chicken, one serv
ing of another protein food such
as cheese, dried peas or beans, or
a main dish made with nuts.
You can achieve wide variety
and still provide an adequate pro
tein ration within the limits of
this rule. For milk may be served
as a beverage, in soups, puddings,
and as cream sauce. Eggs may
likewise be varied in their method
of preparation, or concealed in
other foods. There are many fine
meats, and the number of ways in
which fresh, canned, frozen or
dried fish can be served is legion.
Both cheese and nuts make
sandwiches, salads and desserts,
as well as main course dishes.
Peas, beans and lentils can appear
as soup, mock roast or croquettes.
Grain products, which include
cereals, macaroni and bread, may
appear in any course in the meal.
In planning menus, always keep be
fore you the ideal that an adequate
amount of first class protein makes a
first class man, whereas an inadequate
amount may lead to stunted growth,
functional nervous diseases, lessened
efficiency and the earlier approach of
old age.
In choosing proteins to feed your
family—remember that they take
first place among foods, and that
upon their wise choice rests your
future welfare, your destiny—your
life!

Polishing Ethics-
Pro and Con
When fine furniture leaves the
shop of the manufacturer, its fin
ish has been professionally treat
ed, to preserve its beauty—^pro
long its endurance. And from that
time on, this furniture is best
maintained by a quality light-oil
furniture polish—first, on the shop
floor of the furniture dealer—and
then in the home. This is acknowl
edged and accepted as the best
way to heighten its beauty —
lengthen its life! But unfortunate
ly, many housewives coat the fin
ish of their furniture and wood
work with various shellacs and
veneers—using them as a substi
tute for a fine oil polish and rub
bing. And what a great mistake
this is! For these coatings form a
false finish over the true finish of
the furniture; and rosin and other
destructive elements in them dry
out the wood—toughen it—leave a
sticky residue. When many lay
ers have been applied, they ac
cumulate as a crust over the fin
ish, clogging it and clouding the
natural beauty of the grain. This
is the slack way to care for furni
ture. If the home-maker really
“cares for” her furniture, she
will frequently rub on a reputable
light-oil polish, to preserve it—
keep it lastingly lovely!
