INDIANAPOLIS OBEYS PARIS EDICT OF SOMBER BLACK
Vivid and Gayer Colors of Autumn Blotted Out, Local Stylists Say—Economy Has Influenced Mode as Dark Gowns Are Always Appropriate. Paris speaks and the Indianapolis well-dressed woman listens. This time French fashion dictates that black shall be the mode this winter, blotting out the more ivid and gayer colors of the autumn. And leading Indianapolis women clothiers say that black is more popular this year than ever and that it will always be good.
One clothier says that black chiffon over flesh or combined with flesh is the favorite combination. Another says black trimmed with bright colors has proved the most popular but that the holiday season turiy? toward the gayer colors and black will be second choice. Black is more suited to the French woman than to the American. It is because the French woman is of a. vivacious type of feminity and has a personality that is intensified rather than lost in somber colors. And her makeup is done so well with little color except on the lips, making her dark shadowing eyes more expressive and in harmony with her black gown. And again the French woman stresses the line rather than the color which proves the popularity of black because of its neater slenderer line and the chic silhouette It effects. The black dinner gown is not as expensive as the gaudy beaded one which the average American society woman usually wears. The French woman seeks the economy gown, brightened with personality rather than distinctive colors. An interesting model is the Chanel importation of black shadow lace, with a skirt that ripples in two graceful ruffles, and a throw of lace which forms a floating fairy panel. Patou combines black and white to make the model with the twopiece effect, joining a ripppling skirt of black chiffon, to a bodice of white chiffon. Rhinestones are the only trimming, except for the stole of the white chiffon, which drops from the back of the right shoulder and is banded with a deep band of black velvet. Though black is of a somber hue, the American women will soon see that it is far more stylish and sensible than the dinner gown she has usually preferred.

MENUS For the FAMILY
"By Sister Marjr-
Breakfast—Halves of grape fruit, country sausage, raised buckwheat cakes, coffee. Luncheon—Navy bean and tomato soup, toasted brown bread, lettuce and bacon sandwiches, baked apples, milk, tea. Dinner—New England salt codfish dinner, beet salad, apricot cream pie, corn bread, milk, coffee. If small children must be served breakfast orange juice or stewed fruit and a cereal should be provided for them. The salt fish dinner suggested is a particularly happy choice to serve between Thanksgiving and Christmas or # Christmas and New Year. The clever housewife sees to it that her feast days are not dimmed by similar meals before the gala occasion. If the family is “fed up” on fowl, the Christmas goose will lose much of its charm. You may want to serve “aprleof cream pie’’ and coffee to your afternoon bridge club. Apricot Cream Pie Two-egg hot water sponge cake, % pound dried apricots, 2 oranges, 1 Vi cups granulated sugar. I>4 cups cold water, 1 cup whipping cream. 4 tablespoons powdered sugar, teaspoon vanilla, % cup shredded aimonds. Wash apricots through many waters. Let stand for an hour in lukewarm water to thoroughly cover, drain and rinse. Cover with cold water and let stand over night. In the moj-ning cook in the same water until tender. Rub through a slfeve. Squeeze juice from oranges and cook orange shells until tender. Scrape as much of the white part from the yellow rind as possible and cut the rind in shreds. Add rind, juice and sugar to apricot puree and cook, stirring to prevent sticking until mixture thickens when a spoonful is tried on a cold saucer. Split sponge cake and put together with the apricot marmalade. Cover top with marmalade and mask the whole cake with cream whipped, sweetened with powdered sugar and flavored with vanillas Sprinkle with almonds which have been browned in a moderately hot oven.

TNT Kisses “Goodnight kisses are TNT that may explode at any time and blow up a poung girl’s poise, self-respect, and reputation.” So another divine, filling his once empty seats by the lurid advertisement of “sermons on sex,” announces. We have heard so much about the dangers of petting to the male of the species that perhaps it is only fair that the tables be turned, and the girl “picked on” as the “weak sister” for a change, but it would be even more refreshing if divines and other so-called “leaders” would hand a little strength of character to both sexes and not eternally label them as weaklings and gullibles. “The Dark Dawn” Hattie Murker, the woman and wife who killed herself because she could not have her own way, is the vivid, powerful figure who makes tense the pages of Martha Osteuso's new novel called “The Dark Dawn. It's an ideal book for the busy woman who "doesn't have much time to read, and when I read a novel I; want it nnteresting and yet to mean | something.” Hattie Murker, the i older girl, whose ideal of life is to own things of which she can boast, marries Lucian Dorrit, the dreamer and idealist who had always planned to got away from the little prairie town, until somehow or other he found himself married to Hattie and bound -to till her many acres. A gripping story of man and woman relationship.

HISTORY CHANGED BY PLUMP WOMEN Eve Was, So Was Helen of Troy and Venus, Says Lady Hay Predicting End of ‘Thinness’ Craze. Eve was plump. Venus was plump; Helen of Troy was plump. The feminine curves of plump women, and not the angles of thin women, have
changed the trend of history. “Even today in the midst of the craze of modern women for ‘thinness,’ I am convinced that men are no less influenced by the curves of,a nicely turned figure than In the past, writes Lady Drummond Hay, in a signed article In January Smart Set, pred'eting an early end to the “straight-line” vogue, “The modern craze for thinness is war against nature. The ptandard of beauty today Is to be as thin as possible. Aren't we all dreadfully wrong?’’ Lady Hay asks. "Feminine charm and subtle sweetness Influence men. Thin women never made history. No ‘straight front’ ever threw the world off its axis. It has taken the fullness and roundness-of plump women to shake it to Its foundations. Eve Was Plump “Eve must have heen plump, of course. She was Oriental and lived In the luscious Garden of Eden. Tradition confirms that she was at least ‘well built.’ The heroines of the Bible whose seductive loveliness stars the Old Testament, were none other than typical Oriental beauties. The Queen of Sheba. Esther, the painted Jezebel, could not have been otherwise than voluptuously formed. "We find in the Song of Solomon extremely detailed descriptions of feminine physical charms; Solomon was a man of considerable experience in such matters. “Madame Dubarry was a plump woman. So was the famous Madame de Montespan. Women who stand out In history were women who directed the course of event by influencing men through their amiability and charm, rather than through masculine Intellectuality. Venus, Too "Venus, goddess of love, is undoubtedly the plumpest goddess In the mythical heavens. No one would deny her devastating Influence. Cleopatra was notoriously plump. You only have to Ipok at her mummy case In the British Museum to realize that if Mark Antony found her fair at forty, he also found her fat. “Olvmpia, mother of Alexander the Great, was positively stout, as was the great Queen of Tamyrls of Cythin. Helen of Troy was ‘divinely tall, divinely fair’ and doubtless divinely plump as well. A whole nation went to war over her for ten years. "Catherine of Russia, a ‘well

Skinny, sulky, soured' and Napoleon got rid of her and tried again. He took the more liberally lined Marie Louise. Are we to think that the Great Emperor was a fool? And Washington “George Washington chose as a wife a lady ‘rather below the middle size, but extremely well-shaped.’ "Shakespeare chose Anne Hathaway. that well proportioned wench of whom the great poet once playfully said, “Anne Hath A Way.’ Going back further, history shows that 1 Arietta, mother of William theji Conqueror, was a pleasantly plump j woman. “One really great woman always pictured as thin to the point of scragginess was Queen Elizabeth. She was the ‘Virgin Queen.’ The probable truth Is that her unfortunate, wasted looking figure was due to a lifetime’s vain search for her Ideal man.” Turning to the traditional preference for plumpness in the women of the Orient, the Smart set article j says, In part: “Plumpness is the chief asset of beauty in any eastern woman. The full charm of Scheherazade saved her neck for one hundred times ten nights.”
