Aik yonr neighoorl pre ;in Swing Skirt and Contrast Jacket MM By CHERIE NICHOLAS i-.’-cW-v; mmk 'T'HE sports costumes here shown ■** are just about as swank as they make ’em. The feature emphasized by each and which, let us assure you, is a first and foremost trend in the styliijg of spring suits and sports outfits is that of the jacket that contrasts the skirt. This idea of contrast jacket and skirt is car rying on so successfully, leading specialty shops and sportswear de partments are selling one skirt plus several jackets. With different “sets” of accessories the costume may be tuned to intriguing and varied color moods. A copper, brown and beige striped tweed jacket topping a light brown tweed skirt makes a smart spectator sports costume for spring as worn by the young woman seated above in the illustration. It is voguish- ly ensembled with a pale beige felt sports hat, matching doeskin gloves, deep copper brown calf spectator sports shoes with built-up leather heels and fine lisle mesh copper color stockings. The tailoring of the jacket shows superb workman ship and the presence of useful as well as decorative pockets declares that fashions are muchly pocketed. The girl in the foreground is wear ing a favorite campus costume—a swing pleated skirt in colorful plaid wool (a “must have” in every chic wardrobe) and twin sweaters in nat ural beige cashmere. Fine self stripes add to the fashion interest of her new durene lisle stockings which are now so voguish. If there is one lesson more than another that the new spring fash ions impress upon us it is that a costume is only as smart and cor rect as the accessories worn with it. There is absolutely no hit-and- miss selection tolerated when it comes to headwear, footwear, the gloves, belts, bags, even the hand kerchiefs we carry, that correlate a modern costume into a perfect unit. Especially in the realm of sport- wear is the theory of the right ac cessories for the right costume be ing worked out to a nicety. In fact we have gone quite English when it comes to perfection of detail that has to do with our town and country tweeds, our spectator and active sports clothes and our cam pus outfits. Consider the matter of shoes and hosiery that should be worn with the sturdy outdoor cos tume. British women have long es tablished as correct accessory to their smart tweeds, brogues that spell comfort and a fitness of things. With these they wear sensible fine lisle hosiery. We, the American women, are coming to just that. In deed, the most exciting news about stockings is the recent introduction of smartly styled full-fashioned sports stockings of domestic cotton lisle. This spring nearly all the lead ing hosiery manufacturers are bringing out home-grown durene lisle hose that are sleek, bulkless and flattering, tuned to the taste of the most fastidious. If the men tion of lisle hosiery makes you think of the drab regulation stockings of boarding school days, you will be astonished at the beautiful styling of the new-patterned sports lisles, and in designs that simply cry for co-ordination with spectator tweeds and active sport costumes. Im portant style news in connection with the new durene lisles is that they revive clocks, smart in either seif or contrast embroidery. These stockings also are to be had in spaced or close dropstitch ribs. The mesh constructions are particularly good looking and are adaptable to tailored street costumes as well as to classic sports clothes. © Western Newspaper Union.

They are in the most beguiling col ors for suede, as we all know, takes dyes most beautifully and these hats are worth the price for their color alone. It is a joy to behold their exquisite pastel colorings that in clude such lovely soft grayish blues, pretty “dusty” pinks, mint green, lilac shades, the new golds and cop pers and the voguish cereal shades. You can get any of the darker col ors, navy, brown, dubonnet red, raspberry—any color you want. Be fore you put one of these suede fantasies on, they look shapeless, but with a deft pat here, and a cun ning twist there, presto! you have a most becoming chapeau tuned to your individuality and hairdress, and with a little more coaxing these hats can be manipulated to wear in a dozen or more different ways. They are smart as can be to wear at the immediate moment and they give the costume just the touch of color that is needed to lead on to spring. Best of it is they are rea sonably priced, and it’s lots of fun being one’s own milliner. A Smart Hat Pillboxes are smart. They offer the low crown and forward pitch that many women long for again. They come in close-woven straws or felts and are nearly always dark in color, accented with some brighi hue. A number are given height by trims.

WHAT to EAT and WHY ^4jou5 ton Clou.dl55 T?l5cu55e5 CARBOHYDRATES and FATS Foods That Provide Motive Power For the Body Machinery * ★ By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 East 39th St.. New York. T HE human body might be compared to a framework filled with machinery. It takes food to build the framework, food to run the machinery and food to keep it working effi ciently and this food must be of the proper type. Last week, I discussed the body building proteins and explained how to distinguish between those which build and repair body tissue, and those ^ that afe adequate for main tenance, but not for growth. It is equally important that you should learn something of the fuel foods which are neces sary to fire the body engine and furnish motive power to propel the body machinery. Fuel Foods Keep Us Alive The body could not function in the absence of fuel foods an^ more than a machine could run without power, or a car without gas. Ev ery breath re quires an expendi ture of energy, and so does every movement — from the beating of the heart to the wink ing of an eye. Even in repose, the body machin ery is kept functioning only by an ever-present supply of fuel. For, as long as life continues— even when you are lying perfectly still—you need fuel to carry on thd internal work of the body. Activity Demands Energy Foods Every type of daily activity, in cluding work and exercise, re quires additional fuel. If you walk slowly, you expend twice as much energy as when you sit still. And when you walk fast, you may use up four, five or six times as much energy. The chief fuel, or energy pro ducing foods, are the carbohy drates—that is, the starches and sugars; and fats. Protein also has some fuel value, bat its pri mary function is to build and re pair tissue. Carbohydrates are quick burn ing. They might be compared to the flare of a match in a dark room, which gives bright light for an instant, but is soon ex tinguished. Fat, on the other hand, bums slowly, like a lamp whose wick is turned low. Danger of Inadequate , Fuel Supply Recently there has been a ten dency to minimize the importance of the fats and carbohydrates, due to the craze for dieting. Some of the results of disregarding the ab solute necessity for these foods are extreme irritability, and a greater susceptibility to fatigue, nervous diseases, tuberculosis and other infections. Too Much Fuel Causes Overweight It is true, however, that an excess of fuel foods will tend to produce over weight. For if we assimilate them. Your Food Is Your Fate THE third of the series of ■■■ articles entitled “What to Eat and Why,” written by C. Houston Goudiss, the eminent food authority, author and ra dio lecturer, appears in this issue. In these articles Mr. Goudiss tells how you can be strong, beautiful, wise and rear healthy children by combining the right food materials in the diet. He points out the vast influence which food wields over one’s life. The housewife and mother who desires, to know what foods will benefit her family the most will do well to read these ar ticles week by week and make a scrapbook of them for ready reference. and do not utilize their potential energy in muscular effort, they will he stored —as fat—usually in most inconvenient locations! On the other hand, an excess of any food is a detriment. Therefore the goal should be enough, but not too much, of all necessary foods. Since both carbohydrates and fats are energy foods, one might expect them to play an inter changeable role in the diet. To a certain extent, they do, although fat, being more concentrated, pro vides two and one-fourth times as much fuel value as an equal weight of carbohydrate. But because of the variation in the way these materials are han dled by the body, it is generally considered that health is best served when 40 to 50 per cent of the total energy value of foods is provided in the form of carbohy drate and 30 to 35 per cent in the form of fats. Carbohydrates Are Quickest Fuel Carbohydrates, which originate chiefly in plant life, are readily converted into heat and muscle energy. Foods rich in carbohy drates include bread, potatoes, macaroni, rice, cooked and ready- to-eat cereals, peanuts, dried and preserved fruits, sugars and syrup. Sugar furnishes heat more quickly and more abundantly than any other food. But it has a ten dency to dull the appetite and is also apt to cause fermentation. Therefore, a large measure of our heat and energy is best secured from starchy foods such as bread, cereals, macaroni and potatoes. Quick energy can also be ob tained from the easily digested sugars of fresh and dried fruits, such as prunes, apricots, raisins and fully ripened bananas. Here is an interesting and important point which is frequently overlooked in unscientific reducing diets. Fat re quires carbohydrates for its proper utili zation by the body. That is why women who try to reduce without following a scientifically planned diet frequently become seriously ill as a result of cut ting down on carbohydrates while over looking the fats contained in milk, but ter, and other foods. Relation of Fat To Health Fats are so necessary to the body economy that it is no exag geration to say that without fat, life, in its higher forms, is im possible. The noted Arctic ex plorer, Stefansson, found that he could exist satisfactorily on an all-meat diet, provided he ate lib erally of fat. On a diet of all lean meat, he became violently ill within a week. Besides furnishing concentrated energy values, fats help to create the fatty tissue which cushions the nerves and abdominal organs, and forms the pleasing contours of face and figure. Because it leaves the stomach more slowly than proteins and carbohydrates, fat retards the di gestion of these food groups some what, and thus gives staying power to a meal. At the same time it promotes the flow of pancreatic juice and bile, thus helping in the assimilation of other foods. Foods rich in fat include butter, cheese, egg yolk, cooking fats and oils, margarine, olives, pastry, peanut butter, most nuts except chestnuts and lichi nuts, various kinds of sausage and frie dfoods. Anger Destroys Fat Reserves Experiments have demonstrated why nervous, irritable individuals are usually thin, while those with a serene temperament often ac cumulate weight. It has been proven that anger and fright in crease the amount of fat in the blood and remove a corresponding amount of fat from its usual stor age place beneath the skin. A fit of anger may take off more fat than an hour’s exercise, or two or three days of enforced diet. Thus the person who allows himself to become upset continually with draws the fat reserve from his body. Such persons could profit, perhaps, by taking more of the fat-forming foods. But whether the members of your family are good natured, or irritable, young or old, they need a constant sup ply of fuel foods—at every meal, every day. Fuel foods produce energy—and energy is the motive power of life and work and thought. © WNU—C.

"Home-Wrecking" Qualities of Poor Furniture Polish How often a houseful of fine fur niture and handsome woodwork is spoiled by the use of a poor furni ture polish! There are many pol ishes on the market today—some fair, some good, others excellent for luster and long life of the fin ish! The best is non-greasy, be cause made with a fine, light-oil base! In time, furniture and wood work can be ruined by the per sistent application of a cheap, poor polish! Such polish will con tain kerosene, harsh abrasives and harmful acids—destructive el ements, that are unseen and un suspected! The housewife may use one of these polishes, feeling that she is economically keeping her furniture polished—but this is poorest economy, if she values her furniture (and what house wife does not?). The furniture in a home constitutes the largest part of the furnishings—and will show up like “sore thumbs” when dried out, cracked or checked. This is just what occurs, when other than a reputable oil polish is used! Too, a quality oil polish is less expensive! Less is used at one time—for it’s undiluted. The resultant glow is deeper, richer, more lasting! Best of all, the fin ish of the furniture and woodwork is properly “fed” and kept in prime condition! So beware of harsh, “bargain” polishes—for through them, the furniture suf fers!
