Luxurious Tailored Suits
Take Lead in Fall Styles
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
$
C BEING the luxurious three-piece
^ suits or costume suits, as the
case may be, fashioned as they are
of glamorous woolens that are radi
ant with rich autumnal colorings.
one realizes what is meant when
Paris says “more color everywhere
for fall and winter/’
The newer woolens are superbly
colorful, so much so one recognizes
fci them a direct challenge to the
supremacy of black which for so
long a time has held sway. The col
ors featured this season are so glo
rious within themselves and the
combinations that designers create
are so daring and unusual, inspired
as they are by the richness of the
purples, the dregs of wine, tawny
■towns, deep 'greens and luminous
jewel shades and the surpassing
loveliness of the teal blue that is so
easily important just now, it is no
wander that “Paris has gone color-
mad” as has been said in regard to
recent couturier displays.
The color glory that dramatizes
the current fashion picture so thrill-
iagty this season is especially no
ticeable in the new wool weaves
that are being fashioned into stun
ning coats and suits. In consequence
suits and ensembles tailored of gen
uinely elegant woolens form die ba
sis for every wisely appointed ward
robe in the opinion of those who
guide our fashion destinies.
This demand for high quality does
not imply extravagance. As a mat
ter of fact the very opposite is true
for having acquired through pains
taking regard as to fine finesse in
every detail a costume that be
speaks related color and motif a
guarantee has been underwritten
which carries the assurance of being
well dressed for the majority of oc
casions that crowd into the days of
a modern up-and-doing woman’s
life.
Perhaps the most important
thought to keep in mind concerning
this season’s suits is the fact that
they are softly tailored with subtle
feminine touches that have in them
no suggestion of stereotyped severe
“lines.” There are many intriguing
trimming touches such as bindings
of stitched velveteen finishing the
edges of gay plaids or leather may
be used instead of the velveteen.
Then, too, suede and wool fabric
often form an alliance. In every
event color is played up to capacity.
Consider the very charming three-
piece suit to the left in the picture.
Here is a glowing example of the
effective use designers are making
of color. Plum-colored imported
tweed having a light blue crossed
bar is employed for the making of
this smart three-piece. The skirt
and the piping on the short jacket
are of the plum tweed in monotone.
The hat is of matching plum suede
with stitched brim. Here is a grand
chance to wear light blue accesso
ries and a blouse in blue would of
fer a pleasing change.
To the right, tweed in a mixture
of reddish brown and dark blue
is used for the whole outfit. A bea
ver collar is on the jacket. Hat,
bag, gloves and shoes are in reddish
brown. This is a three-piece that
tunes to weather changes perfectly
because of the protective cape that
may be worn or not at will.
Speaking of capes, considerable
emphasis is being placed on cloth
evening wraps and the circular cape
of fine broadcloth that extends mid
way between waist and knees (an
inspiration of the nineties) is a fa
vorite. Quaint looking indeed but
tres chic just the same.
Interest in smooth 'face velvety
surfaced woolens is being revived.
Broadcloth, suedes, zibelines, duve-
tyn types have come into their own
this season due to the acceptance of
old-fashioned styles given new-fash
ioned interpretation.

Fur-Sleeved Coat
Fashion dictates fur sleeves for
winter cloth coats. They are be
ing shown in endless number and
the furs employed are apt to be of
any type which, of course, adds
zest to the mode. In this instance
lavish silver fox is employed.
Special points of styling interest
in the mode pictured is the mul
tiple skirt pleats and the wide
crushed leather belt
Dirndl Is Leader
Among Juveniles
The dirndl may be dwindling in
popularity with the grown-up fash
ion leaders but it continues to hold
first place in juvenile styles for the
coming season. Many coats as well
as dresses designed for little girls
from three to six years old show
the peasant influence.
One coat that is typical of the
trend is made of royal blue velvet
een and has a fitted basque top to
which is attached a very full shirred
skirt section. A little collar of gray
squirrel fastens snugly at the throat.
Another coat similarly styled is
made of wine red wool velour and
has cordings of the fabric trimming
the dirndl skirt.
Leather Hats Are
New Fall Fashion
Leather hats have come to town
as spice for the fashion menu.
Lily Dache makes them of kid and
suede in such colors as elephant
gray, rural autumn (a rich maple
leaf red) dawn blue (green blue)
and beet root (a deep dark red)
as well as the regulation shades
trimmed with bright colors. She
sends them out with gloves of the
same color to wear now with dark
frocks and later with fall suits.
New Fall Color
“Tabac” brown, more mellow in
its tone than most browns, is off to
a good start in the early collections.
Maggy Rouff combines it with ma
roon and deep sage green to make
a “mosaic” winter coat formed by
pieced-together squares of the three
colon.

Lesson for September 18
JONATHAN: COURAGEOUS
FRIENDSHIP
LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 20:4-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—A friend loveth at all
times.—Proverbs 17:17.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Noble Prince Jona
than.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Noble Prince Jonathan.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
The Adventure of Friendship.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
The Cost of Being a Friend.
Without question, the most pre
cious possession any man or woman
has (apart from his fellowship with
God if he is a Christian, and the
love of his own family) is friend
ship. It is the flower that blooms
by the side of the rugged pathway
of life. Like many flowers, some
friendships need to be cultivated
and encouraged.
It has been said that the love of
a woman for another woman is, a
beautiful thing, the love of a man
for a woman an even more devoted
and precious thing, but that the
bond of love between man and man
surpasses all in its strength and
glory. Some might question such a
statement, and yet it is true that
between man and man there is
the possibility of the highest type
of friendship. David and Jonathan
stand at the head of an inspiring
list of men who loved each other
with their whole souls.
The lesson for today calls for a
careful reading of the incidents in
the life of Jonathan and David re
corded in I Samuel, chapters 14, 18,
19, and 20, as well as the first chap
ter of II Samuel. It is a story which
will richly reward a careful read
ing. Considering the printed portion
in the light of this background we
note six things that characterized
this great friendship.
I. Cultivated (v. 4).
Friendships must be “kept in re
pair.” Foolish and almost wicked
is that man who by boorishly of
fending his fellowmen, or by
neglecting the thoughtful words and
acts that cultivate friendship, drives
men away from him. “He that
hath friends must show himSelf
friendly” (Prov. 18:24). Consider
the admonition of our Lord in Luke
16:8, 9, where he urges the righteous
use of even our worldly possessions
to cultivate eternal friendships.
Read what Jonathan did in I Sam.
18:3-5, only one of his many loving
and thoughtful acts.
II. Courteous (v. 8).
David asked that Jonathan deal
kindly with him, and the entire
story reveals that he did just that,
always. More friendships are
wrecked on the rocks of little dis
courtesies than in almost any other
way.
We live in an age which affects an
outward veneer of culture but which
is at heart often thoughtless and un
kind. Let Christian men and women
be courteous. They should be as
followers of the gentle Jesus, and it
will bring them countless friends.
III. Candid (v. 9).
Friendships that last must be
built on absolute candor, not the
kind that delights in telling an un
pleasant truth, but one which
speaks the truth in love. Jonathan
told David the truth.
IV. Courageous (vv. 12, 13).
Jonathan was such a faithful son
that when the time of parting came
he stayed with his wicked father
rather than go with David, whom
he loved. But he was true to David
even though he knew it would incur
the wrath of his father if that friend
ship became known.
Things that cost us nothing are
usually “worth it.” Real friend
ship calls for sacrifice, standing by
in the night hours, sharing burdens,
loyal even though others may con
demn us for it.
V. Covenant Keeping (w. 16, 17).
Covenants entered into by solemn
treaties in our time are soon dis
carded as “scraps of paper.” People
make promises to one another that
they never intend to fulfill. Jonathan
and David made a covenant and
kept it. True friends do not violate
their loving agreements.
This matter of trickery and false
hood in life and business is one that
deeply troubles theL. writer of these
notes. He sees unmistakable evi
dence that this perverse spirit has
come into the precincts of the
church itself. We should have a re
vival of honesty in office, home,
state, and church.
VI. Complete (v. 17).
“He loved him as he loved his
own soul”—such a friend was Jon
athan. His devotion to David had
no qualifying “strings” on it. He
was not seeking something for him
self. The closest he came to that
was to bring his children into the
covenant with David (v. 15), and
who could question the propriety of
such devotion between true friends?
He saw that David was to supplant
Saul as king, and in the face of his
own interest as Saul’s son, he put
David forward.
Friendship is akin to our relation
ship to God in that it calls for a
complete giving of ourselves, if we
are to be true friends. This does
not mean that individuality is lost,
or special interests and abilities de
stroyed, but it does mean a whole-
souled desire for our friend’s wel
fare, and a complete devotion of
our all to his good.
What to Eat and Why
C. Houston Goudiss Offers Timely Advice
On Avoiding the Menace of
Tooth Decay
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
O NE of the most serious indictments against our present-
day civilization is its failure to preserve the teeth of men,
women and children. Countless examinations in all parts of
the country reveal that practically 100 per cent of the adult
population is afflicted with some form of oral disease. And
surveys of the physical condition &
of school pupils in different lo
calities and under various cir
cumstances disclose that tooth de
cay affects between 90 and 97 per
cent of our school children.
Remarkable and widely herald
ed advances have been made in
our knowledge of
how to control and
prevent many dan
gerous and debili
tating * diseases*
Yet we appear to
be complacent in
the face of the fact
that the majority
of our population is
handicapped by de
cayed teeth!
Nor does the
mere statement of
the case convey any idea of the
seriousness of the situation. For
it is unfortunate that diseased
teeth and dental infections which
may result from unchecked de
cay, seldom incapacitate the suf
ferer. Thus the victim does not
become sufficiently alarmed to
take the steps necessary to arrest
the progress of the diseased con
dition.
Yet a single decayed tooth
might be compared to a poison
factory, distributing its noxious
products to every part of the body,
and tooth decay may be indirectly
responsible for rheumatic' ail
ments, neuritis, dyspepsia or du
odenal ulcers. It may even be a
contributing cause of heart trou
ble.
Possibilities of Prevention
Yet there is little or no excuse
for the appalling amount of dental
decay that afflicts the American
people. For in recent years a vast
amount of laboratory and clinical
research has been undertaken in
this field and there is impressive
evidence that dental caries, or de
cay, may be completely controlled
by dietary means. Then, too, our
understanding of correct dental
hygiene has advanced tremen
dously, and scientifically designed
tooth brushes and skillfully com
pounded dentifrices are available
in every town and hamlet through
out the country.
Diet and Dental Disease
Various investigators have ad
vocated different dietary formulas
for the control of dental decay.
There is a lack of agreement
among them as to which single
element is the most important in
constructing a diet to prevent
caries.
But outstanding authorities hold
that each of the five following di
etary factors has a controlling in
fluence: vitamins A, C and D; an
adequate supply, in the correct
proportions, of the minerals, cal
cium and phosphorus; an excess
of alkaline or base-forming foods
over acid-forming foods; and a
generous allowance of raw foods,
with emphasis on those that leave
an alkaline-ash.
Vitamin A and Tooth Structure
Notable research has demon
strated that vitamin A is a definite
factor in controlling tooth develop
ment. The development of the
enamel is governed by a complex
structure which begins to deterio
rate as soon as vitamin A is with
held. When experimental animals
are placed on a diet lacking in
this vitamin, their teeth become
brittle, chalky and white. This is
due to the loss of the enamel, with
its orange colored pigment, and
the exposure of the dentine.
An English authority also claims
that vitamin A is necessary to
help prevent diseases of the gums.
Inasmuch as vitamin A likewise
has many other important func
tions to perform in the body, ev
ery homemaker should see to it
that her meals contain an abun
dance of milk and other dairy
products, and the green, leafy and
yellow vegetables which are a
good source of this vitamin.
Vitamin C and Tooth Health
Vitamin C is closely associated
with the health of both teeth and
gums. There is strong evidence
that this vitamin is essential to
the dentine, enamel, cementum
and the bone of the jaw. And
there are on record remarkable
experiments which demonstrate
that dental decay and gum dis
orders are both prevented and ar
rested when extra amounts of
foods containing vitamin C are in
cluded in a well-balanced diet.
Vitamin C is best obtained from
the citrus fruits, tomatoes and
raw leafy vegetables such as cab
bage.
Vitamin D which we get from
the sun, from fish-liver oils and
concentrates, and from irradiated
foods and those fortified with vita
min D concentrate, is necessary
for the proper utilization of the
calcium and phosphorus, which
must be generously supplied if the
teeth are to develop properly.
Sense and Nonsense
—A—
Mr. Jones (dictating letter):
“Sir, my typist being a lady,
eannot take down what I think
of you; I, being a gentleman,
cannot even think it, but you,
being neither, can easily guess
my thoughts.”
The figure a mannequin earns
depends upon the figure.
The Tramp—It ain’t that I’m
afraid to work, lady, but there
ain’t much doin’ in my line . . .
I’m a window-box weeder.
“There ain’t any harm in a
loaf once in awhile,” said Un
cle Eben. “If dar was, Nature
wouldn’t waste so much time
turnin’ out sunshiny days and
fishin’ worms.”
This may irritate the tender tis
sues and may also force food par
ticles under the gums at the necks
of the teeth.
Importance of Dental Hygiene
Thus a carefully calculated diet,
beginning before birth and con
tinuing throughout life, is neces
sary to build teeth that are struc
turally sound. But even the most
perfect teeth require constant
care to maintain their soundness.
Thorough brushing is necessary
after every meal to remove all
particles of food which remain be
tween the crevices and cling near
the necks of the teeth. If not re
moved, this debris may ferment,
giving rise to unpleasant odors
and creating acids which may at
tack the tooth enamel.
It is important, however, that
the brushing be done correctly,
away from the gums and with a
slight rolling stroke, so that the
bristles can penetrate between the
teeth. Never use a horizontal
stroke nor brush toward the gums.
A Good Dentifrice Essential
The selection of a dentifrice is v
most important because an agree
able dentifrice encourages thor
ough brushing—an efficient denti
frice helps to float away minute
bits of food not reached by the
toothbrush.
It is also advisable to use a
paste or powder which helps to
restore luster to teeth which have
been surface-stained by foods and
beverages.
The use of an antiseptic mouth'
wash, at least once daily, espe
cially before retiring, is com
mendable as it leaves the mouth
fresh and clean.
It is also important to give the
teeth regular systematic cleans
ing, and to see your dentist peri
odically for a careful checkup.
Questions Answered
Mrs. L. B. R.—Yes, lettuce and
corn both contain copper, and so
does beef liver. Copper is a min
eral that is needed for the proper
utilization of iron.
Mrs. F. L. S.—Children require
about one and one-half times as
much phosphorus as is necessary
for a full grown man. That is
why they must eat generously of
whole grain cereals, eggs, dried
legumes, leafy vegetables, milk
and cheese.

Braid Trimming Is Smart
IT’S so easy to sew a few rows
* of braid onto a house dress or a
little girl’s panty-frock, and it’s
such a smart way to brighten up
simple fashions and make them
more becoming. Here are two at
tractive and unusual designs that
you’ll enjoy making at home, in
pretty fabrics of your own selec
tion. Each includes a detailed
sew chart to guide beginners.
The House Dress.
Here’s a style so becoming and
attractive that you’ll probably
want to make it of thin wool or
sports silk for general wear, as
well as of percale, calico, ging
ham for the house. The very
short kimono sleeves are just as
easy to work in as no sleeves, and
much more becoming. Straight
panels front and back, gathers at
the sides of the waistline only,
give this design an unusually
good figure line.
The Panty-Frock.
High waistline, puff sleeves,
square necklines—they all look
adorable on little girls. This flar
ing frock buttons down the front
so that ambitious tots can easily
dress themselves in it. This de
sign will be pretty in so many dif
ferent materials—gingham, chal-
lis, percale and dimity. A dress-
up version in taffeta will be sweet,
too; trim that with ribbon instead
of the braid.
The Patterns.
1570 is designed for sizes 34, 36,
38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Size 36
requires 4% yards of 35-inch ma
terial without nap; 2% yards braid
to trim.
1516 is designed for sizes 2, 4,
6 and 8 years. Size 4 requires 3
yards of 35-inch material; 4%
yards braid or ribbon to trim; 1%
yards ribbon for belt.
