Hats, Print Silk Frocks Go
Definitely Pretty-Pretty
By CHER1E NICHOLAS
PREDICATED ness, to to womanly pretti
charm, to romance, to the
poetry of life are the fash¬
ions that hold forth this
season. It would almost
seem as if the new hats
and gowns had entered in¬
to a conspiracy to see how
adorable they can make woman¬
kind look in distractingly lovely
frills and furbelows, in fashion whim¬
sies that beguile, in colors radiant
and gay together with all the vain¬
glorious little details that bring to
full bloom the endearing charms of
the wearer.
Fashions this spring and for sum¬
mer are of the pretty-pretty sort
that men delight in seeing their
ladies wear. The provocative col¬
orings, the daintiness of frail ruf¬
fles and immaculate touches that
flutter about throat and wrist, the
flattery and mystery of whimsical
veils that half conceal, half reveal
the witchery of her eyes, the glamor
of her jewels and amusing costume
gadgets, the loveliness of the flowers
she wears—beaux and bachelors be¬
ware, there’s danger in them there
trends of fashion!
If there is one costume more than
another that is essential to the “pic¬
ture” this season it is the gown of
winsome, ever-flattering silk print to
which a hat that rates high in
glamor plays dramatic accompani¬
ment. See a trio of just such por¬
trayed in the illustration. They
stand for all that is utterly feminine
and charm-full in the current fash¬
ion scene.
Paris says “horizontals” as shown
to the right in the pretty-pretty
printed silk sheer featuring bands
of realistically. colored flowers, full¬
blown roses to be explicit, that con¬
trast a dark ground alternating with
narrower bands in light monotone.
The full skirt, topped with a two
tone grosgrain that ties in a boW,
is attuned to slim lines by means of
full length side pleats. The horse¬
hair disk that serves as a most
fetching and youthful hat is held in
Amusing Variety
In Lapel Gadgets
The new collections 6f lapel
jewelry include amusing themes as
well as flower effects that are real¬
ly beautiful. In the former cate¬
gory one cites bees, birds, animals,
butterflies, grotesque .figurettes and
gadgets many of which trace their
ancestry to characters that appear
in Alice in Wonderland stories.
The new .flower sprays done in
jewels in porcelain and various com¬
positions are veritable works of art.
These are really conspicuously
beautiful and elaborate, created as
they are of colorful sparkling jewels
to represent flowers of every de¬
scription. A jewel flower piece will
prove a joy the entire season
through as it “dresses up” a cos¬
tume at a moment’s notice.
Rick-Rack Is Used
To Trim Organdy
If you are working with organdy
try trimming it with rick-rack braid.
You’ll be delighted with results.
White on white is lovely. Colored
rick-rack on cloque printed organdy
is effective also. Dark linen day¬
time frocks are given color-dash via
rick-rack that is used in several
hues, such as for instance a border
effect of red, yellow, green, blue and
white braid sewed together, trim¬
ming a navy linen.
With Navy Green
With navy green an important fac¬
tor in the spring picture, several in¬
teresting new color combinations
will be possible.
CLEVELAND COURIER
place by velvet ribbon, with flowers
clustered over the hair, altogether
a picture that bespeaks the very es¬
sence of youth and beauty in fashion.
Color and charm from a Victorian
flower garden are recaptured in the
purple and green silk print that
fashions the dress centered in the
picture. Shirred detail gives a soft¬
ly flattering line to the bodice and
sunburst pleating in the skirt. The
two-tone grosgrain girdle is accent¬
ed by a nosegay of flowers repeat¬
ing the theme of the silk print.
Speaking of millinery that has
gone sweetly feminine, take a look
at the demure velvet-tied bonnet
which the young modern to the left
in the group is wearing. You can
tell at a glance that this quaint
model is inspired by the lines of the
bonnets of Civil war days. Which
goes to show that old fashions are
repeating in new fashions this sea¬
son, which is really a striking char¬
acteristic of'trends running through¬
out the entire gamut of present
modes. As to the charming dress
she wears it is made of a “sani¬
tized” silk print as are also each of
the other frocks shown, this being a
new process that deodorizes and
keeps your . materials antiseptic
(germ free and germ repellent).
The print glorifies a fuchsia color
theme. Pleating at the top of the
sleeves is released to puff the shoul¬
ders and the skirt is cut with a be¬
coming swing flare.
The printed silks fashionable for
evening wear are simply gorgeous,
the wallpaper-design flower motifs
are in some instances almost over¬
whelmingly enormous, achieving an
effect of imposing elegance. Another
important trend is toward rustling
plaid taffeta for formal party frocks.

Hand Crocheted
Just right for the pig-tail crowd—
this cunning suspender skirt, hand
crocheted in sturdy pearl cotton.
Fashion-right in every detail, it has
such a grown-up air any little girl
will be thrilled with it. It is that
practical mother will be more than
repaid for the time and effort given
to crocheting it. In fact, it will
prove a real joy and blessing in your
child’s wardrobe—washes out in a
jiffy as spic and span as new and no
ironing required, is stylish as can
be, and with a fresh blouse each
day turns little daughter out smart
and as immaculate looking as if she
had just “stepped out from a band
box.”

Antique U. S. Bathtubs
Preserved by Company
American bathtubs, from a slip-,
per-shaped model, invented by Ben¬
jamin Franklin, to the ultramodern
types are being photographed, and
data on them gathered by the Crane
company of Chicago at the request
of Oglethorpe university, Georgia,
which will preserve the material in
a campus crypt not to be opened un¬
til 8113 A. D.
The company, which has been in¬
terested in old tubs as a record of
its own business, has most of the
models it is immortalizing. Others
are in various museums, and are
being collected by Frank Hicks of
the Crane company.
Franklin’s “slipper” tub is a large
copper contrivance. The bather sat
on a ledge with his feet toward the
“toe” of the "slipper,” and the wa¬
ter was heated from a fireplace un¬
der the ledge. High sides prevent¬
ed drafts from reaching him. He
even had a rack to hold his read¬
ing matter before him.
) Another early American tub ex¬
tant is that of the Revolutionary
war general, Henry Knox. It looks
as though it were half of a horse
trough protruding horizontally from
Jhe top of a two-foot block of wood.
Hhe “trough,” also made of wood,
is supported at its end by a single
wooden leg. The top of the block
was used as a seat, and the bather
extended his legs into the “trough."
This tub is in the Knox memorial
at Thomaston, Maine. !
Another tub in the company’s col¬
lection is one used by the Drinker
family of Philadelphia in the early
years of the Nineteenth century.
Elizabeth Drinker wrote in her di¬
ary of it: “My husband went into
ye tipid bath. Before dinner, he’d
handsel’d (tried out) a new bath¬
ing tub, which WD (her son, Wil¬
liam Drinker) bought yesterday for
17 dollars—made of wood, lined with
tin and painted—with casters under
ye bottom and a brass lock to let
out the water.”
A tub made at a slightly later
date was originally used by Sen.
Harry Stubbs of Martin county,
North Carolina. The weekly ablu¬
tion Stubbs took in this tub was the
subject of conversation throughout
the county. He is said to have used
a whole cake of soap and six towels
for every bath. A slave kept draw¬
ing water and filling the tub, a
round, metal appliance. /
White Waves on Sand of Jet „
/ You have not seen the sands of
Europe’s most famous seashores if
they are always golden. Near Torre
del Greco in the Bay of Naples,
the white waves roll in on sands
as black as jet: pulverized lava
from Vesuvius. ‘
Short-Sight Aids Aiming -i
/ Short-sighted riflemen usually are
more successful shots than those
who are far-sighted, observes the
Better Vision institute. This is be¬
cause of the difficulty of the far¬
sighted person to focus correctly on
the front sight, leading to inaccura¬
cy in aiming. While they can see
their target clearly, far-sighted
marksmen sometimes make errors
in sighting of at least a tenth of an
inch, because of the inability of
their eyes to focus exactly on the
front and rear sights. At 100 yards
away, this would mean an error of
10 inches; at 200 yards, one of 20
inches. On the other hand, the
short-sighted person can line up his
sights accurately and can, through
practice, train them on the exact
center of his target, although the
outlines themselves are not sharply
defined.

What to Eat and Wh
C. Houston Goudiss Gives Timely Advice on Planning
Meals for Languid Appetites
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
AS THE weather begins to get warmer, many families des
•I* velop a finicky attitude toward food. They come to the
table with little appetite and claim that nothing tastes good.
Before you reproach them, however, give some thought to
the type of meals you are serving. Do they contain an
abundance of crisp, succulent greens which tempt the eye
and the palate and furnish important minerals and vitamins?
Do they include fruits with their flavors and
appetite-stimulating
acids? Have you cut down
somewhat on carbohydrates
and fats? Or are you still
offering enough energy foods
at each meal to supply the
fuel requirements of cold
winter days?
A carefully chosen diet is an ex¬
cellent remedy for the let-down
feeling that both children and
adults often experience at this
season. For science has discov¬
ered what food substances are
necessary to promote appetite find
digestion, to help maintain buoy¬
ant health.
Obtaining the Appetite Vitamin
We know for example that when
the appetite is poor, there may
be a deficiency of
that part of the vi¬
tamin B - complex
which nutritionists
call B,. There is
both experimental
and clinical evi¬
dence that this vi¬
tamin is essential
for the mainte¬
nance of a keen ap¬
petite. In addition,
it is also required
for the normal
functioning of the digestive tract,
so that it must be provided in suf¬
ficient amounts if food is to be
utilized to best advantage.
Among the foods which supply
this vitamin are whole grain ce¬
reals, bran, eggs, milk, peas,
beans, carrots, spinach and cab¬
bage. It is also found in many
fruits, though usually in lesser
amounts. In general, a most sat¬
isfactory way to insure a liberal
intake of the appetite-promoting
vitamin is to include in the diet
generous amounts of whole grain
cereals, milk, vegetables and
fruits. As these foods likewise
contribute many other necessary
substances, they rate a promi¬
nent place in the dietary.
Foods That Build Blood
It is also extremely important
that menus for finicky eaters
should be rich in iron. For this
mineral is necessary for the for¬
mation of the hemoglobin or red
pigment in the blood—and it is the
hemoglobin that carries purifying
oxygen to every cell in the body.
Iron-rich foods include liver, egg§’,
whole grain cereals, dried fruits,
and green, leafy vegetables. I
have repeatedly urged the gener¬
ous consumption of green, leafy
vegetables, and I cannot too
strongly emphasize their impor¬
tance as a source of iron, as well
as other essential minerals; and
vitamins.
Keep the Diet Laxative
Another piece of advice that
warrants repetition is my frequent
recommendation that you include
in the diet adequate amounts of
bulky foods. These are necessary
to help promote normal elimina¬
tion. If your menus contain too/
many highly concentrated foods,
irregular health habits may re¬
sult. And that in itself may be
responsible for a feeling of lassi¬
tude and a lack of interest in
eating. Here again fruits and
vegetables are important. To¬
gether with whole grain cereals
and breads, they constitute our
most important source of bulk or
cellulose.
Get Plenty ot Milk
Milk is another food that should
be used generously, because it
contains such a wide assortment
of protective substances. It is our
foremost source of calcium, which
is required for the teeth, bones
and for sound healthy nerves. And
it contains every known vitamin in
varying amounts.
If your family does not care for
milk as a beverage, make fre¬
quent use of cheese which is es¬
sentially milk in concentrated
form. And use milk freely in
sauces and for making desserts.
It can also be incorporated in
nourishing cream soups, to be
served for luncheon or supper.
Follow the soup with a salad made
from crisp greens and including a
protein food, such as cheese, nuts,
44 FIVE Minus TWO
Leaves FOUR”
WRONG? Well, yes—and no. The arithmetic ot your school days taught
that "If Mary had five dollars and spent two ..." three dollars remained.
But that is mathematics—not shopping! In managing a home.. guarding
a limited family income.,. we've simply got to do better than Mary did.We
must sharpen our buying wits .. ascertain where the dollars of extra value
lurk.. . take five dollars to town and get much more for the money spent.
Fortunately, there are ever-willing guides right at hand —the advertise¬
ments in this newspaper. Advertised merchandise is often exceptional
value merchandise. It makes dollars S-T-R-E-T-C-H.
or hard-cooked eggs’. And top off
with a fruit dessert. This type of
meal appeals to the appetite and
provides substantial amounts of
minerals and vitamins.
Salads Twice a Day
A crisp appetizer salad makes
a good beginning for the main
meal of the day. A combination of
watercress, dandelion greens, let¬
tuce or shredded cabbage, with
fruit, or a small amount of a sav¬
ory fish paste will intrigue the
most reluctant appetite. And when
the salad is served at the begin¬
ning of a meal, you can be sure
that it will be eaten before the
hunger is satisfied.
Another way to get additional
vegetables into a meal is to mold
them in gelatin and serve as a din¬
ner salad. Or an assortment of
fruits can be treated in the same
way and used as a combination
salad and dessert. If prepared
gelatin desserts are used, a wide
variety of color and flavor combi¬
nations can be achieved with very
little effort; and children will ea(
them with relish.
You’ll be surprised to discovet
how quickly interest can be stimui
lated by serving familiar foods in
a new way!

Making a Practical
