Gay Paree Fashion Seers Declare “What Looks Best Is Style Rule”

Fall Frocks Consider No Law as to Color —All Hues Shown,

By MARIAN HALE NEA Service Writer jARIS, Sept. 14.—1 t was ray honest intention when I came 1.. to Paris to digest what I could of the French openings and then be able to lay down a few simple fashion rules for the fall and winter. But there are no simple rules. There are no rules. If there is any one style that predominates, I have been unable to get it. These French dressmakers have their own ideas of what Is beautiful, and they make up the styles they like best and are most successful with, regardless of each other. How Different Cheri! Jeanne Lanvin specializes in the picturesque frock. In her cozy salon with Its many French prints and its soft gray velvet rugs, her beautiful manequins parade before you wearing close-fitting bodices and full bouffant skirts that reach to the floor, or nearly there. Chanel, on the other hand, who is one of the most exclusive designers, makes, year after year, I am told, the little straight chemise frock, quite short and simple, which is as distinctively her model as is Lanvin's picture frock. And both are firm in their convictions. Callot sisters, once seamstresses by the day, who now have the most imposing looking shop in Paris, show intricate gowns with panniers and puffs, as well as long, slender sheath frocks. Some skirts are so long the ankle is concealed; others are so short that one almost gets a glimpse of the knee. Jean Patou, who makes the chic serge dresses and the three-piece costumes so beloved by Americans, shows medium-length frocks held rather close to the figure, with lovely embroideries and simple draperies. And so it goes. Anything that is becoming is stylish. That is the Parisienne’s only rule, I’m told. She cannot understand the desire of the American woman to follow any particular mode. She finds the style that is becoming and may have all her gowns made from one model. A Riot of Color And the fashionable houses show the same models year after year, with changes only In materials or coloring. Nor is there any law as to color. At Callot’s I saw gowns that were a riot of purple, red and orange, worn with pumps of some contrasting shade. At Chanel’s, the frocks carry one tone throughout, for the most part, and are very subdued In coloring. • The colorful frocks, I am told, are shown largely for American or English women or for the stage. The typical Parislenne, though, is almost sure to appear in black or white. Thus, first observations at the Paris shops lead me to believe there are no set styles, and we are all on our honor so far as clothes are concerned. But there are many French tricks in dressing that I will tell you of later, which I think we on the other side of the water might copy with profit.

j yfklth 'bu'Dr. C.CRobinson DIGESTION OSITIVE working program of health includes as its chief ■ aim. a normal cell-nourishing blood stream as the result of proper and food content that 'make for perfect digestion. 1 Indigestion is often the result of tbolted food. Food improperly fccoked will cause gas in the stomach, bloating and belching. The tame diet continually rftonth after month Is another cause. Poisons In Improper food, coffee* tobaco and Jack of exercise resulting In constipation also Induce chronic cases of indigestion. I The teeth, stomach, small and large intestines must all do their part to insure a perfect digestion and healthful elimination. Brush the teeth carefully night and morning and after each meal if possible. One hardly realizes the Importance of good teeth until they are lost. A thorough chewing of foods holds Jt in the mouth until mixed with saliva, the first of the digestive fluids. For good stomach digestion, regularity in taking meals Is best. Don’t ever eat all you want. Eating Whenever you are hungry, means overwork for the stomach. , Vegetables and fruits are rich in the Juices and acids that aid digestion. Good stomach digestion aids the small intestinal digestion to a Ihrge degree. The large intestin'es aiurt be kept free and open, after the uemalning nutriment of the food mass has been absorbed. To aid this process, walking, bending and reaching exercises will keep the large Intestines active. * Don't eat to excess of fats, sugars Or starches. Don’t become a tea or ooffee fiend. Remember that pure drinking water is a great aid to digestion. * Kitchen Cabinet * An old book case and a kitchen table can be converted into a kitchen cabinet by the man or woman handy with tools. ' Matching Elfects

THESE TWO COSTUMES SHOW DIFFERENCE IN LINE AND STYLE WHICH IS TYPICAL OF THE FRENCH HOUSES, NONE OF WHICH ADHERE TO ANY STANDARDIZED RULE IN PRODUCTION.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER I wonder, dear little Marquise, if always when you were happiest something happened that made you feel most insecure. Os course. Dad paid all my hospital bills, and he gave me a thousand dollars because he had j sent a thousand to Alice; but Jack j told me a couple of weeks ago that I ! must not ask Dad for more money; that we must try and get along upon his salary and commissions. They have been very good lately, but, oh, dear little Marquise, I wonder if you ever had to try to stretch a dollar inio two? I must have a nurse , for little Jack. The woman I have | Is staid and helps me in many ways, j She is much better for both baby and j me than a trained nurse would be, and not nearly as expensive. About a week ago Jack was worrying greatly about finances an£ I told him I would let my maid go. He insisted I should do no such thing, and I gently reminded him that two and two never make five. I was trying to help him. dear little Marquise, and would you believe it, he seemed- to be hurt. He asked me if I must let one or t.ho other go why didn't I dismiss the nurse. I told him unless I had someone to take care of the baby I would be confined to the house all the time; that I would milch rather do my owri work and have a nurse for Junior, than try to take care of him myself. "We could have someone iti. occasionally if you wished to go out, Lee," he said. “I couldn't leave him to a hit or miss person,” I answered. "Something might happen to him." ‘‘Don’t you worry, Leslie,” he rejoined. “If we had sent that child where mother thinks he belongs, he

How To Keep A Child Healthy

A GENERATION ago parents thought that, sickness was a part of a child's life, but we know better now. The secret is in the food the mother allows the child to eat, and in watching that elimination occurs regularly two or three times a day. Mrs. J. Russell of 19,141 Havana Ave., Detroit, Mich., keeps her family of two young children in perfect health with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and Mrs. R. L. Smith of 519 Maple Ave., East Pittsburg. Pa., says her family of three children have never been sick a day since giving them Syrup Pepsin. A Substitute for Physics Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a scientific compound of Egyptian senna with pepsin and suitable aromatics. The formula is on every package. You will find you do not have to force children to

take it, and it is much _ _ _ better for them than * TouOnH.uATVUBoItU castor oil, calomel or J “Syrup Pqxia,” 517 Washington St., coal-tar drugs like : Montlcello, Illinois, phenolphtbalem era, ; if CO> ered with sugar , test.

would have had to scramble up the best he could.” Oh, little Marquise, I hope I’ll never ! see again on Jack’s face the look that 1 I saw then. As It was, I said: ’'Oh, surely, John,, you are not sony wo have him?” “No,” he answered slowly; “he is like my own chilli; hut I want you to understand, Leslie, that 1 think your happiness and your health worth men, to me than all the babies in the, world.” “But If my own baby had lived, I John—” “Well, of course, that's a different matter," he answered. “But you said you didn’t know any difference." "Well, I don't think I do. I’d probably be Just as annoyed with any baby that made you work hard ad look tired and uncomfortable.” "Have I been looking tired and uncomfortable, Jack?” I asked. "I thought I was looking particularly well lately."

"No, but you will'do so If you have to do housework.’’ “I’m going to try. anyway, Jack.’’ And that is the reason, little Marquise, that for four or five weeks I haven't written you. Old Nannie, my nurse, has proved herself a treasure, | and although she knows that her first ! duties are to Junior, yet she helps me a lot at other things. I get along very much better than I did at first, for I have learned and am still learning how to do housework In a eystematlc manner. Besides, I have learned to live more simply. Dear little Marquise, I expect you never soiled ydUr dainty fingers with housework. You only lived for love and laughter. I wish knew if you were continually happy.

easy passage without griping or strain. It does not contain narcotics, and you can give it with absolute safety to an infant at the breast. “Magic”in a Teaspoonful Every store that sells medicines sells Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and the cost is less than n cent a dose. Give half ate ispoonful to any ailing baby or child at -night when you put it to bed and you will find a happy, laughing youngster in the morning. Take Syrup Pepsin yourself when constipated, and give it to any member of the family young or old, for any ailment due to constipation, suchas biliousness, headache, lack of appetite, sleeplessness, bad breath, cankers, fever sores, indigestion, and to break up fevers and colds. Stop that first sneeze or sniffle and you will have a healthy winter.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SISTER,

P 1 ERHAPS you must pack a school box lunch every day but i—— Saturday and Sunday, and the ; problem of what to put In it looms ; large. In the first place the food must' be nourishing and easily digested. The girl or boy Is still growing and j using every’ ounce of energy in his | or her young body whether In grade | or a high school senior. And in the second place the box 1 must be neatly and attractively j packed. No matter how good the [ sandwiches really are, if they are | crushed of soaked, more than likely they will remain In the box until ! after school and then find a resting place by the roadside on the way ; home. If there is a school cafeteria to provide hot soup or cocoa, a thermos bottle need not be Included in the equipment. But if the whole luncheon must be carried from * home something hot is most essential, i A hot soup, simple sandwiches and fruit will do more good than all the oie and cake in the world. As to Sweets If a Jelly sandwich sometimes is made to take the place of cake it will satisfy the youthful sw r eet tooth j and at the same time provide some j fruit. Simple sponge cake or gra- j ham cookies with raisins are harm- j less sweets. Do you remember how you bolted j your luncheon when you were school age and then indulged in vio- j lent exercise for an hour, and after ! that used your brain Just as violent-1 ly? All this takes nourishing food and plenty of it, because there must be an allowance for growth. A hearty, unhurried breakfast should start the day for every child, and a simple wholesome luncheon should be planned and packed for noon time. These recipes may help you to gain variety and suggest other com-, blnatlons. The secret of an unsoaked sand- j wich Is to use plenty of butter. Spread : both pieces of bread evenly with soft- ; ened butter. "Work the butter to easy spreading to consistency with a fork j before trying to use in a sandwich. ] Use as many vegetables in the lunch-! eon as possible. A vegetabio sandwich of some sort usually can be concocted and lettuce can be added to almost any variety of sandwich.

Waldorf Sandwich One tablespoon minced celery, 1 ta-; blespoon minced apple, 1 tablespoon finely chopped nuts, 1 tablespoon minced raisins, salad dressing, lettuce. Mix celery, apple, nuts and raisins and make moist with salad dressing. Spread thin slices of whole wheat bread with butter, put a leaf of lettuce on each slice and fill with mixture. Spinach and hard-boiled egg are moistened with lemon Julc and used to fill bran bread and butter sand- : wiches. If each sandwich is -wrapped In oiled paper it will keep fresh and untainted by fruit In the lunch box. Celery Sandwich Two tablespoons minced celery, 1 tablespoon finely chopped nuts, 1 tablespoon cream or cottage choose, H teaspoon minced parsley, olive oil to make moist, salt and pepper. Mix ingredients and put between thin slices of brown bread and butter.

]y[artha Lee Her Column

Birthday Gift Dear Miss Lee: lam a girl of 16. I tike a boy of 17. We have had two dates. Then I came to Indianapolis. He has a birthday this month. What would you advise me to get him? BABY DOT* As your friendship has betey <■* short, I don’t know why you give the boy anything. If ywti insist, however, you might get a handkerchief or send him a box of homemade candy. Career or Marriage Dear Miss Lee: I will be 18 years old In December. I am engaged to a fellow 2”. He said he would never marry if he could not have me. I think he has proved It. because I went with another fellow and let him know it. I talk mean to him in front of people and I know it hurts him. People would tell me 1 was sassy. I have one ambition, music. My teacher said 1 would be rich some day if I would not marry. I am composing and playing violin and piano music. I love my music very much, but I also love him. Should I let him go, or my music. 1 know I cannot have both. My parents like him very much. UNDECIDED. You have an odd way of expressing your love. I don’t envy the man If you marry him, unless you change your attitude. You are only 17. Why give up your music now? Instead, I suggest that you go ahead with It for about four or five years. By that time you will know whether Jrou really have genius, -and whether you love this man, or j some other, well enough to marry him. | The fact that you might become rich [ should not lure you, because riches | cannot buy happiness. Elopement In Air Dear Madam: 1 Is It considered a disgrace for a girl of 15 and a fellow of 20 to elope and get married? 2. Should a young man ask the consent of the girl’s father, or should the girl ask him? 3. Is a house or church wedding more proper for a fall wedding? 4. How can a girl keep her little brother from tattling to her boy friends? SWEET FIFTEEN. 1. Elopements always cause gossip dieagreeable to the bride. A girl of 15 would be foojish to marry at all. Get such thoughts out of your head If you do not want to ruin your life. 2. I presume you are not talking i about elopements, and hope you are | not talking about yourself. In this i question. It Is the custom for the man to ask the father for hla daughter’s hand. 8. One Is as “proper" as the other. 4. You are thinking too much about boys, Sweet Fifteen. The usual methods of punishment can be tried in i the case of "tattling” brothers—sending ’em to bed without supper, depriving ’em of some wished-for pleasure, etc. Sometimes they work. The punishment always should come from the parents. Some girls have found that being a real sister, rather than the common “don’t" kind, is most effective.

Peeling the Skin Is Better Than Bleaching

Ever since the discovery that ordinary mercollzed wax would absorb and remove a discolored or blemished complexion. Its use by ladies as a substitute for bleaching: creams has grown rapidly. A perfect complexion can ba maintained Indefinitely if this remarkable substance Is used. Its beneficent cleansing, clearing and preservative active action Is quickly apparent, and ladles who have been paying high prices for “special bleach” from beauty specialists. soon recognize that mercollzed wax outranks them all. It has become so popular that It can be obtained at all druggies, who have It In original oneounce package. The favorite way of using is to apply It like cold cream, before retiring, washing It off in the morning.—Advertisement.
