guished by smart simplicity of line
with accent on fabric and color.
Fine wool tweeds in subdued or
bright shades, smooth wool flannels,
tailor-minded twills and worsteds
are all favored for these versatile
costumes which are designed to be
worn with little silk blouses for
dress or with sporting high-neck
wool sweaters for casual wear.
Pleats share honors with stitched
gored constructions in built-for ac
tion skirts. For the college-minded
jacket-suit pictured a nubbly wool
tweed in soft rose-beige is used,
with brown buttons and brown leath
er belt for smart contrast. The
double pointed pockets are clever
and decorative.
Costumes that contrast jacket to
skirt have made a tremendous
“hit.” Suits are selling with two
jackets, one matching the skirt, the
other in a vivid plaid or stripe wool
that picks up the color of the skirt.
Color is important in the soft wool
fleeces and sturdy tweeds are used
for tailored all-purpose coats for the
younger set. Luscious wine shades
and rich greens vie for popularity
with the traditional neutral shades.
Deep browns are good and navy is
still popular. Styles vary from the
comfortable and correct polo coat
type single breasted and belted, to
the boxy swagger or the high-but
toned semi-fitted reefer type. The
fleecy coat pictured has a high
rolled wolf collar worn well up to
show the squared shoulder line of
the sleeves. A leather belt and the
large buttons are in dark brown to
contrast the deep green of the coat.
The teen-age girl’s wardrobe will
not be complete unless it includes
a jaunty tip-tilted feathered hat to
gether with a youthful plaid flannel
dress as pictured in the inset be
low. The blouse is enlivened with
shining starlike buttons by La Mode
and a pert sharkskin Peter Pan col
lar and cuff set.

Brown Takes Lead
In Late Fashions
Brown, despite annual predictions
to the contrary, this year made a
sweeping campaign in the fashion
collection and, if the forecast holds
good, a large part of feminine ward
robes this winter will be made up of
dresses, coats and suits in some
shade of brown.
The darker color range includes,
first of all, those rather indefinable
brown tones which remind one of
wine dregs or deep mahogany tones.
Quite different are the deep brown
costumes which, if made in velvet
or downy wool fabrics, can hardly
be distinguished from black.
Bolero Theme in
New Silhouette
A new departure in the bolero
theme is the very short dress top
that pulls on over the head like a
sweater. It is, as a matter of fact,
of bolero inspiration except that it
is closed up the front instead of left
open jacket fashion. The beauty of
this new fashion is that it has ■
tendency to slenderize the waistline
below, giving width at the top of the
figure and extending out at bustline.
Some of these new pull-on boleros
are prettily braided and embroid
ered.
Lingerie Note
There is a definite trend toward
high necklines and short sleeves in
lingerie.

WHAT to EAT and WHY
C. Houston Goudiss Offers New Year’s Resolutions
Concerning Foods and Nutrition. Suggests How to
Help Make Your Family Healthier and Happier
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
IT HAS been customary for a long time to mark the begin
ning of a new year with the ringing of bells, with merry
making, and with the hope expressed to one’s friends that
, they will enjoy greater health, happiness and prosperity in
■ the forthcoming twelve months.
Though greetings are usually exchanged in a spirit of
gayety, the occasion frequently does, as indeed it should,
। have an undercurrent of so-i- — ——
lemnity. For it is quite fitting
that we should view the close
of one year and the beginning
of another as both an Ending
and a Beginning, even though we
recognize that life goes along in an
unbroken stream.
The magic hour of
midnight may well
mark the end of
certain of our mis
takes, and the be
ginning of greater
wisdom in acting,
thinking, and liv
ing.
It seems to me
that the week in
which we celebrate
New Year’s is a
particularly appropriate time for
mothers to resolve to take stock
of the program of daily living that
they have outlined for their fami
lies; and if necessary, to alter it
so that every member may gain a
more generous share of well-being
and contentment.
Questions for a Homemaker
I believe that every homemaker
owes it to her family to pause for
a few moments at this season to
look backwards along the road
that she and her family have trav-
eled in recent months.
Have you taken advantage of
the knowledge offered by modern
nutritional science?. Can you con
‘ scientiously say with conviction
that you have given your husband
and children all the different food
elements that are necessary for
buoyant, radiant health?
If you have grown as you should
in the past year . . . and no
homemaker who is doing a really
first class job ever remains static;
she moves with the times . . .
then it is inevitable that there has
> been a gradual change in the char
, acter of the food that you have
put on your table three times a
day. But can you feel confident
those meals have been right in
1 every respect? Have they included
i' the necessary protein, fats, carbo
hydrates? Have they included at
least 12 minerals; the six known
vitamins; and sufficient bulk or
cellulose to help maintain regular
health habits?
I
I
1 Time to Take Inventory
Do not be too discouraged if you
cannot answer yes to all of these
’ questions, because the chances
1 are that many other homemakers
; may also find it necessary to give
; a partially negative answer. Moth
ers especially are busy people,
, and many of them feel that it is
difficult to keep pace, as they
would like to do, with the fast
. moving science of nutrition.
Now, during this week which
brings us the beginning of a new
year, now is a time—after taking
: inventory of what you have or
have not done—to look forward, to
survey the road that lies ahead.
Before every wife and mother
hangs the curtain of the future
that will be slowly drawn aside,
revealing the destiny of herself,
her husband and her children, as

Storing Steel Articles.—Put a

The Tremendous Power of Food
What they are going to be to

never was a truer statement than
that man is what he eats. • And
that does not mean that physical
prowess and mental superiority
■ may result only when the table
i is set with luxuries! On the con

not necessarily under-nutrition but
improper nutrition, is found in the
homes of the wealthy as well as
in the homes of the underprivi
leged. The power of food is de
termined, not so much by what
J you spend, as by what you choose.

L'ACH of these new designs is a
treasure trove of clever ideas.
You’ll enjoy making them, during
long winter evenings to come, not
only because they’re so attractive
when finished but because they’re
no trouble at all to do. Each pat
tern includes a detailed sew chart
for the guidance of beginners, so
you don’t need experience. Just
follow the easy, explicit directions,
and see how quickly you’ll have
them finished.

Color for Foods.—Grated raw
carrots give cabbage salad added

peppers or pimentos will do the

Fire Hazard.—The basement is
one of the chief danger places in
the house from the fire stand

trash.
Changing Dances
From 1776 to 1911, American so
cial dancing was virtually con
fined to six dances: the polka,
reel, square dance, minuet, waltz
and two-step, reports Collier’s.
From 1911 to 1938, more than 25
new dances have been introduced,
among them being the turkey trot,
grizzly bear, Texas tommy, bunny
hug, hesitation, tango, maxixe,
one-step, Castle walk, fox trot,
Charleston, black bottom, Lindy
hop, rumba and the big apple. I I

for food to provide the milk and
other dairy products, fruits and
vegetables that should be con
sumed in abundance. There is al
ways evaporated milk for those
who do not care to buy bottled
milk, or who prefer to use it as a
supplement to bottled milk. And
since large numbers of fruits and
vegetables are now in season prac
tically throughout the year, it is
almost always possible to choose
varieties of these mineral- and
vitamin-bearing foods that are in
expensively priced.
Be It Resolved:
I should, therefore, like to urge
every homemaker to make at
least one New Year's resolution:
to resolve that she will build her
family diet in 1939 first of all
around the protective foods, milk,
eggs, fruits and vegetables.
It will be my privilege each
week to help interpret for you the
. amazing discoveries of nutritional
science; and to show how you can
. utilize the newer knowledge of nu
; trition to help increase the mental
। and physical efficiency of your
family.
Together then, let us resolve to
travel along the highroad of well
being in 1939.
, Questions Answered
i
1 Mrs. K. Mc.N.—You should in
clude at least two rich sources of
each of the vitamins in your
; menus every day. It is also im-
J portant to serve some raw food,
; as for example, a salad, in plan
’ ning the diet of persons in normal
’ health. Use fruits liberally and
provide a pint of milk for each
’ adult, a quart for every child,
either as a beverage or in
’ cooked dishes.

every one of them is charming!
You can make it as shown in
the large sketch, with high neck
line and sash. Also, as shown in
the little sketches, either with a
round collar or with turnback rev
ers, with shawl collar and wrap
around sash—or with high neck
line, and beltless. The basic line
is lovely. It has shrugged-shoul
der sleeves, a softly gathered bod
ice, a doll-waistline cut high in
the front, and a slim-hipped skirt.
Silk crepe, velvet, thin wool or

A laundry bag, combing cape,
