Fashion Says Suede From Tip to Toe
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
A MAZINGLY supple, superbly
colorful suede is making fash
ion history this season. Prepare for
a revelation when you go suede shop
ping. Once glimpse the perfectly
fascinating clothes designers are
creating of this delightful medium
and it's our' guess you will be want
ing to acquire a whole wardrobe
of suede. Keenly fashion-alert wom
en are doing just that—dressing in
suede from head to foot.
When you sight the new collections
the first item of apparel you’ll be
wanting will be an adorable one-
piece dress made of suede caress
ing as a rose petal to the touch and
so light weight you will wonder with
what magic tanners’ art ever ac
complished it.
Everyone loves the colors suede
offers. They are that beautiful it
can’t be told in words, for when it
comes to taking dyes there is noth
ing that surpasses suede.
Then there are startling color
combinations exploited, for the
more unusual the color alliances this
season the smarter. Per example
the girl pictured in the oval inset
is wearing a double-breasted suit
presenting a most striking color
scheme in that it tops a skirt of
wineberry suede with a jacket in
suede that is in gold-nugget yellow.
Hie cone-topped hat and laced en
velope bag which she carries with
this costume are in “sooty” black
suede.
After you have bought a suit and
• soft afternoon or sports dress of
lovely suede you will begin to look
about for accessories and here is
where you will cast away all re
straint. You will find that a hat
and matching scarf of suede will
top off any costume you choose to
wear it with, to perfection. Pic
tured above in the illustration Mary
Carlisle of Hollywood fame shows
her yen for suede in that she is
wearing a hat and scarf in Egyptian
clay-color suede which stunningly
contrasts her pale blue three-quar
ter swagger coat.
One of the suede accessory items
that will lay siege to your heart is
a separate bolero of colorful suede.
Wear it with any costume you will
and it will take on new glory. The
one pictured is quite simply tailored
but it is possible to get suede bo
leros with -decorative scalloped
edges. You can get these in dark
tones or entrancing ice-cream or
bon bon colors. If it is from a
sportswear viewpoint you are choos
ing, ask to see the lumber jacket
types in suede or perhaps one of the
sweater pullover models with wool
sleeves as pictured in the group will
be your style. With plaid pleated
skirts they make the costume ideal.
It gives a dress or a coat an un
mistakable air of chic to enliven
it with a collar and cuff suede “set”
or newer still is the collar and tie-
girdle twosome of colorful suede.
Some are finished with self-suede
fringe in the cowboy manner as pic
tured, and still others have dis
tinctive diamond cutouts bordering
the collar and sash ends. These
ensembles are to be had in such
luscious colors as raspberry red,
oriole orange, gold nugget, yankee
blue and cavalry red, honey beige
and others.

VEIL-TRIMMED HAT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Milliners are not only using veils
as veils but the hat that is trimmed
with veiling is a favorite type that is
showing in great numbers. It is a
navy colored veil that perks up
the white straw as here shown. Fur
thermore, fashion declares that no
costume is really complete without
its flower accent this spring. This
printed pique jacket worn over a
navy dress uses a bunch of nastur
tium-red flowers and, what’s more,
to complete the color scheme the
young woman’s nail polish is in
matching nasturtium to carry out
the flower motif.
LINGERIE BLOUSE
IN STELLAR ROLE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
This is a suit season and a suit
season means that the blouse is
called upon to play a stellar role.
A fashion of utmost importance is
the revival of the exquisitely fine
and daintily feminine sheer hand
made lingerie blouse. We have not
worn these charming blouses for
seasons and* seasons past to any
extent but this spring they are the
last word in chic. The finely pin-
tucked batiste type is an outstand
ing favorite. In fact there is almost
sure to be a showing of pin tucks
somewhere about the blouse, be it
lace-trimmed or not. Sprightly jab
ots are showing their frilly cascades
between jackets from openings and
even with the conservative tweeds
these dainty blouses are correct as
the feminine touch is a fashion
“must” this season.
Best Dressed Brides Will
Be Arrayed in Lace Gowns
The very best dressed brides this
spring will most likely walk down
the aisle in lace—maybe in their
grandmothers’ lace dresses or in
the new 1938 laces that are so en
chanting. Every bride, whether she
be married in church or in the gar
den or just “quietly,” can have a
lace bridal dress fit for a queen, and
this may mean the cobwebby Chan
tilly laces, or the angel skin pat
terns, or the sheer lace with cord
outlines. The church bride, in a
truly romantic manner, may wear
a gown hinting of an earlier era
made up of row on row of narrow
lace with quaint puffed sleeves and
square neck.
Daytime Styles
Daytime coats with elbow-length
sleeves, short bolero jackets and
smart zipper fastenings are popular.

— By Virginia Vale —
C HARLOTTE LANSING,
whose lovely soprano voice
you must have heard over NBC,
has become an ashes-sifter.
When she's not singing, she’s
sifting ashes in Princeton, N.
J., and holding her breath.
You see, her home burned to the
ground in January, just after she
had collected all her worldly goods
under one roof. And she had about
$4,000 worth of jewels in the house.
Hence the ashes sifting.
She estimates that she has gone
through about two tons of ashes up
to date, and she has found rings and
pins which she values at $2,000.

How Right Diet Can Help You to Avoid
Health Hazards of Faulty Elimination
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
• East 39th Street. New York.
T HOUSANDS of men, women and children are alive today
because we have learned how to prevent many types of
infections and how to cure diseases which once caused un
timely deaths. &— —
We have reason to be proud
of the achievements of science
in fighting disease and length
ening the span of life. But we
should he ashamed of the fact
that hundreds of thousands of in
dividuals are not getting the most
out of life—indeed they are not
realizing half their potentialities
—because improper eating and
faulty habits of hygiene cause
them to suffer from that great evil
of civilization—constipation.
EVILS OF CONSTIPATION
Someone has called constipation
the most deadly disease, and
while this may
se^m like an ex
treme statement, it
becomes justifiable
when one realizes
the untold misery
and wretchedness
that may result
when food residues
remain to stagnate
and putrefy in the
body.
Constipation mud
dies the complex
ion, dulls the eye and befogs the
brain. It causes a general feeling
of discomfort and fullness in the
abdomen, lack of appetite, bad
breath, coated tongue, a feeling of
lassitude and a tendency to be
come easily fatigued.
By weakening resistance, it
opens the way to numberless dis
eases. Serious complications, such
as irritation of the appendix, may
occur as a result of the friction
of hard masses of waste against
the delicate walls of the intestine.
Piles have frequently been laid at
the door of faulty elimination.
Do you wonder that I consider
prompt, regular elimination the
keystone of good health.
Its importance is readily under
stood when you consider the proc
esses by which food is digested
and absorbed.
—★—
FATE OF FOOD IN THE BODY
From the mouth, food passes
down the esophagus into the stom
ach, where it is penetrated by the
gastric juice. It then passes into
the small intestine where it is
mixed with the secretions of the
liver and the pancreas. Here the
nutritive elements are absorbed
by minute, hair-like tubes which
line the intestinal walls. These
tubes converge into the blood ves
sels and lymphatics which trans
port nourishment to all parts of
the body.
Undigested residues pass into
the large intestine or colon, where
they are normally moved along
by a series of muscular contrac
tions known as peristalsis, and
finally evacuated
The amount of the evacuation
varies in bulk with the amount of
indigestible roughage contained in
the food. When there is insuffi
cient bulk to promote normal per
istalsis, waste accumulates and
we have the condition known as
constipation with all its resulting
evils. Bacteria prey upon the
stagnating material, producing
poisons which may be absorbed
by the body.
There is not the slightest excuse
for allowing this condition to de
velop. For the misery and wretch
edness of constipation may easily
be avoided by including in the

daily diet sufficient laxative foods,
that is, those rich in fiber or cel
lulose.
—★—
BULK OR FIBER ESSENTIAL
Because of their fibrous frame
work, plant foods are our chief
souace of cellulose or bulk, and
therefore, our greatest aid in pro
moting normal elimination. Vege
tables and fruits are sworn foes
of constipation, and unrefined ce
reals are also extremely valuable.
—★—
SOME LAXATIVE FOODS
Foods with an exceptionally
high residue include raw fruits,
especially those with skins and
seeds; dried fruits, as apricots,
prunes, figs and raisins; raw veg
etables; such cooked vegetables
as onions and leafy greens; the
legumes, that is, dried peas and
beans; whole grain cereals and
bran.
Among the vegetables, don’t
overlook cabbage, lettuce, celery,
spinach, brussels sprouts, string
beans and green peas.
Foods which tend to form a lit
tle gas in the intestines, including
spinach, onions and cauliflower,
are also useful stimulants to in
testinal movement.
In addition to providing cellu
lose, the acid fruits, such as or
anges, lemons and grapefruit, act
as a mild stimulus to increased
peristaltic motions.
—★—
NEED FOR VITAMIN B
Another important factor in pro
moting normal elimination is vita
min B, which has been shown to
be essential for good muscular
tone and activity of the digestive
tract. Investigations with experi
mental animals have deinonstrat-
ed that it requires twice as long
to empty the large intestine when
the diet is deficient in vitamin B.
Yeast, egg yolk, milk, whole grain
cereals, liver and green leafy veg
etables are good sources of this
vitamin.
—★—
LIQUIDS ESSENTIAL
A sufficient quantity of liquids
is likewise necessary to prevent
the contents of the lower intestine
from becoming too hard for easy
evacuation. In addition to water,
the diet should therefore contain
an abundance of milk, fruit juices
and other beverages. Acidophilus
milk and buttermilk are especial
ly beneficial.
Fats and oils, used in modera
tion, act as gentle lubricants.
REGULAR HABITS
It is most important to eat at
regular hours and to establish
regular times for evacuation, as
this is a great aid to body rhythm.
Guard carefully against over
eating, for this practice is a fre
quent cause of constipation. When
the digestive system is over-

THE HOUSE
Preserving the Oilcloth.—Bind
the edges of oilcloth used for ta
ble coverings with bias tape. This
will keep the edges from tearing
or becoming ragged.

Hemming Sash Curtains.—Make
the hems of sash curtains the
same at the top and bottom. You
can then use them either end up.

Preparing Baked Potatoes.-—
Baked potatoes look much nicer if
scooped from the shell, mashed
with butter, pepper and salt, a
well-beaten yolk of an egg, then
placed back in the half shell and
browned in the oven. They not
only look nicer, but taste better.

To Retain Juices in Meats.—
To keep flavor and juices in meat
when baking or frying, expose it
to extreme heat first, then reduce
the temperature and cook more
slowly.

Cleaning aint and Varnish.—
Linseed oil is excellent for clean
ing varnished, grained paint. It
should be applied with a piece of
clean, soft flannel, rubbed well in
and polished with a soft duster.
Only the very tiniest drop of oil
should be used.

Mrs. B. T. M.—Do not worry if
your child prefers the egg yolk to
the white. The white is chiefly
protein, and he can easily obtain
protein from other foods, especial
ly milk. But the yolk contains an
abundance of minerals and vita
mins in addition to protein and
fat. Nutritionists have determined
that the inclusion of one egg yolk
daily in an otherwise adequate
diet is an effective method of bal
ancing the intake and output of
iron in a child’s diet.
Miss S. B.—No, the generous
use of cream cannot be consid
ered as a substitute for taking
milk as a beverage or in cooked
dishes. Cream is much higher in
fat and contains less protein, min
erals and vitamins, with the ex
ception of vitamin A. Cream de
serves to be included in the di
etary for its vitamin A content,
but it should not replace milk.
Mrs. A. McK. — Strawberries

they rank with citrus fruits and to
matoes as a source of vitamin C.

Hidden Benefits
Few housewives realize the un
derlying advantage of the use of
a good light-oil furniture polishl
Most polish is used only for the
luster it bestows on the chairs,
tables, piano, woodwork in the
home. Rubbing the polish on
cleans the furniture—works up a
glow—and the outward effect is
fresh and sparkling! But that is
only part of the housewife’s re?
ward. For out of this domestio
routine comes definite benefit t<v
the furniture! A reputable polish,
with a light oil base, does what
is known as “feeding” the finish.
The “massage” causes the oil to
penetrate, seep into the pores of
the wood—just enough to lubricate
—and keep it healthy! Here, it is
important to note that cheap pol
ishes are made with a heavy oil
base—and are “greasy” and urn-
pleasant to use. The best polish
—made with a fine light-oil base—
is never greasy. • Applied on a*
damp cloth (according to direc
tions), it is neat to use and proves
a boon to the furniture! Lack of
polishing—or the use of a poor
polish—will cause the finest wood
to dry out, crack, split—for wood
is a product of Nature and needs
a certain amount of oily moist
ness. So polish the furniture regur
larly! Use a quality oil polish—it
pays! For not only does the furni
ture look better—it is better! Its
life is preserved!
