JEAN WORTH DECREES BLACK FOR NIGHT WEAR ONLY

Trinkets Are Deleted in Late Styles BY MARY KNIGHT Pelted Prm SUIT CflrrMtwndrtil PARIS. Feb. 6.—The Worth sum*h*r collection, shown to a carefolly selected group of critical buyand fashion writers, seems to have eliminated black except for night wear. And black is hard pushed by red and white as a favorite night color! Worth follows the general movement for longer skirts and less visible calves. His new conception of style appears to be definitely feminine without any of the trinkets and gadgets, laces and feathers that another era. once believed to be necessary to distinguish a wslldressed woman from her male escort,. Jean Worth predicts that black will soon pass completely from the foreground of fashion and that dark blue will take its place. He uses much dark blue for tailored suits this spring, usually combined with white blouses of georgette. Here he allows the only use of lace or batiste. Tailored Suite Seen Browns were used for sports suits * great deal, with many shades from the dark ‘‘tete de negre” to “case au lait.” Beige again came into it* own, the rosy beiges and those with yellow tints predominating. These colors were used In light weight woolens, lace jersey effects, tweeds with small flecks of white or other pale shades. Other colors were not neglected entirely, and plaids played a prominent role in the new production. Tailored suits with short jackets were seen frequently. Coat dresses were shown for the first warm spring days. These simulated the Jacket suit, and their skirts were a bit longer and straight, Gimilar to the two or three models Worth showed in the mid-season collection. Since short evening wraps are so much prettier with the long, straight evening gowns they were shown for the months when warmth is not so essential. Patterns Small and Neat Worth has just designed for the Honorable Mrs. Andrew Vanneck, formerly Miss Louise Clews, two sjiort evening wraps in velvet, which flt the figure snugly, have a full peplum with a raised waistline in the front, and a wide circular cape reaching to the elbows which takes the place of sleeves. One of these was in bright cherry red and the other in Worth blue, and they were to be worn with either black or white evening gowns. When patterned fabrics were used, the patterns were usually small and neat; narrow stripes or stripes varying in width, and a few geometric patterns. Chiffons in plaid effects in two tones, flowered chiffons, ever a favorite but conservative in design; satins in bright colors, the new triple georgettes, and organdie or starched chiffons were used for evening gowns. Though white continued to' be Worn because of its general becomihgness and youthful qualities, various shades of blue, pale green, pinks, and yellow helped to lend gayety and color to the new evening mode.

Glorifying Yourself

TAKING your beauty for a ride—be it in a train, airplane, motor or steamship—is a real responsibility. There Is nothing on earth quite so hard on beauty as dirt. And try to keep dirt off your face while you are traveling: The most important things, therefore, about any beauty travel kit you may be compounding, or purchasing in its entirety, is to make sure that the removal of dirt is taken care of high, wide and handsomely. It is a mistake to rely on washing with soap and water every time your face gets dirty. The water you may get in some of the western states, not to mention the interior or China, may not mix well with either your skin, which is un-

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THIS morning’s post brings a splendid “calldown” from New York. A hunter who now stalks animals with a camera instead of a gun brings up this pertinent point: “You write an article,” he says, “because men shoot ducks and deer. Tender-hearted women's clubs vote resolutions for the education of the male brute against killing game. Yet the sportsman is not killing commercially. “Who does that? The trapper. The seal hunter. And all because women must wear furs. Has none of them ever thought of educating the female against wearing the coats of three and a half million live creatures that are caught in traps to starve and freeze? Will you write something about this fur business?” I will, and I think the gentleman’s point is well taken. Nothing, indeed, could be more inconsistent than for women to become excited over vivisection or con-' cemed in their humane societies over ancient horses and sick cats, while they are wrapped in the skins of beasts that must undergo exquisite agony so that lovely ladies may be luxurious. tt st n THIS cruelty of ours, however, Is entirely vicarious. I honestly believe that if the majority of fur-coated women had to watch the death struggles of the animals from which their decorations are obtained, they would stop wearing them. , Unwittingly this man has taken a slap at his own sex over our heads. Yet who dare criticise trapping and seal hunting? Are they not great and well-paving industries? And those who would destroy industry, are they not enemies and reds and ruffilans? It is true that women wear furs. But men trap and torture the animals to obtain them. And for what? Money. And listen, kind sirs, to the protests that will arise at the mere suggestion that anything that brings in money be stopped. This awful war on animals is waged, just as the awful wars among nations are waged, because we can all be fine and decent and humane until our greed is pricked. Then we begin to sidestep and talk aboutJo juries to industry. **

accustomed to it, or the soap you use. u tt a Therefore, cleansing lotions are important. I do not say cleansing creams, for I think it is a mistake to cleanse too often with cream when you are in the midst of dirt, for more just adheres to your face when you have finished. If you want to make your own cleansing lotion, rose water and glycerin is one good one, but witch hazel is another, all prepared and not the least greasy. There are many pleasant ones on the market and it may be a good plan to try out some of them before starting., After you have solved' the type of cleansing lotion, be absolutely sure you have a non-breakable container, or a non-breakable place to put it, anyway! There are so many small cases that are handy for beauty lotions that it seems a pity not to have one if you are making a trip of any distance. tt a a NEXT to cleansing lotions, the creams are important. Winds, hot or cold weather, unusual changes in temperature all must be considered. Your skin will need nourishing and you must be prepared to give it a, good reliable cream. There are certain beauticians who are simplifying their lines of creams, recommending a single cream for cleansing and nourishing. One of these, or two of your favorite brands should be enough for a short trip. It is a shame to load yourself down with things you won’t need. Last, but not least, don’t take too much. Invest in some very minute jars that will supply you for a short journey and not weigh too much. But, whatever you do, have cleansing tissues, creams, lotions, a hair brush, tooth brush and paste, your make-up and your soap. That is a good start toward reaching cleanliness as your final goal.
