A New York fashion expert has discovered the secret. She found that washing with soap and water alone did not remove the body excretions which rot siTka. So she adds a tablespoon - ful of Energine to every quart of lukewarm, soapy water. Then she washes and rinses the articles —as' usual. The result is anew cleanliness—a pleasing freshness—revived colors—all with practically no rubbing. But the most amazing result is the longer life it gives to silks—an economy every woman will appreciate. Try this method the next time you wash silks. You’ll be delighted. Remember, too, that millions of women save money by using Energine for removal of spots from suits, hate, dresses, gloves, shoes, ete. Large ran 35 cents at any drug liore—Advertisement,

Business Women Will Elect Heads Loyalty to each other, courage and ambition are requisites for a successful business women, according to Mrs. J. K. Bowman, Richmond, Va., first vice-president of the National Federation of Business and Professional women, who spoke Thursday night at a Cnner meeting of the local chapter. The occasion was in observance of national business women’s week. The nominating committee, including Mrs. Nell Warren, chairman; Mrs. Stella Coleman, Misses Fanny Miner, Lois Baker and Ernestin Meneley, reported the two tickets. Candidates are: Yellow ticket, Mr*. Alberta Dawson, president; Miss Isabella Drummond, first vice-president; Mrs. Irene Reeves Moore, second vice-president; Miss Kathleen Peek, corresponding secretary; Miss Margaret Tamblyn. recording secretary; Miss Katherine Kaercher, treasurer; Miss Amelia Klipple. auditor, and Mrs. Grace Thompson, Misses Lenna Harvey, Blanche Irish and Gertrude Lieber, directors.

Alpers. auditor. And Mayme Blades, Frances Moder, Eva Lewis and Martha Fommerenlng, directors. The voters may vote a straight ticket, or may scratch. Also, further nominations may be made from the floor, if candidates are indorsed by ten members, and posted before April 16.

The bylaws were amended during the last year to permit the presentation of two tickets and allow further choice of candidates. Election of officers will be held April 23. It is Mrs. Bowman’s belief that if women want equality with men in their jobs, they can not expect special privileges because of their sex. Mrs. Bowman, who is general chairman of the national convention of the organization to be held in July in Richmond, told some details of the program. A grand ball, with men of the service clubs as escorts, will close the convention. On Virginia night a reception will be held at the Governor’s mansion, with Governor John Pollard and his staff receiving with the Virginia women.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

P DNA BEST, the actress who fled Hollywood and the cinema love scenes with John Gilbert because she was lonesome for her husband, offers the most refreshing sight of the year. Sad as it may seem, it Is not news nowadays when a woman runs away from her husband, but it is news, and big news, when she runs back to him. Yet a good many wives might do the same tiling in a less spectacular way if they were honest with themselves. The arms of the John Gilberts with their fake affections never are so secure nor so sweet as those of a husband who has been tried and proven true by time. But it takes courage to run home again sometimes. One must be brave to abandon the job that looked so splendid, or to forego the career that appeared so glam** orous. It takes backbone to right-about-fr.ee and go walking back home owe more. tt tt a MANY women feed themselves with the false belief thap it is fine and romantic to have flirtations with other men. Their imaginations are inflamed with saccharine tidbits from celluloid romances. And in a good many instances they go only from the commonplace to the insufferably dull. For there is nothing so inane as a romance gone stale. And romances go stale oven quicker than marriages do. We are accustomed to believe that the fine splendor soon vanishes from matrimony, but it does not fade half so quickly as the glitter from an illicit flirtation. An abandoned wife may be a pitiful object, but she is endowed with a splendid dignity when compared to the abandoned sweetheart. And let it be said to the American woman's credit that if tested she would be as sane as Miss Best. There way be a deal of fluttering over the charms of gentlemen liice Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Vallee, but most of us, feel sure, really prefer our dear, amXortable, agd hysfeaafe.

Color Plays Big Pan in 'Stout Style' Spring styles for the stout woman are discussed by a New York styllsr, in the household section of the April True Story magazine. “Color plays an especially important part,” this expert writes. “Dtrk blues, browns, rose-ta)., ar.d soft greens are excellent, and though bright colors are also bein*; worn, they tend to makd the stou' figure too conspicuous. “7"*e stout woman who yearns for bright colors best can indulge her taste in a printed frock, provided the pattern is small, k with plenty of background showing. This is the type of pattern that has taken the country by storm this season, and may be found in dresses for every hour of the day. “Another way to bring in bright colors is by means of accessories. If you wear a plain blue dress, give it variety with some of the new steel jewelry and a gray hat., or a black and white scarf and a black hat. This note of contrast, however, should be very subtle and not overdone. Need Re proportioning “Unfortunately,” the True Story article continues, “the large figure does not look well in just the larger sizes of regular Paris models. It is, therefore, really necessary to reproportion them slightly. Sometimes the mere lengthening of a jabot produces a surprisingly slenderizing effect. “Necklines, too, play an amazingly important part. Among those most becoming to the large woman will be found the surplice line. This '■nd also the deep V neck, produce long lines, especially needed by those who are both short and stout. “Cape collars and little separate jackets have an equally desirable effect, besides supplying a figureconcealing quality highly appreciated by those who are large in the diaphram. Also, more than half of the new dresses show flares, which have a real tendency to make the hips look small. “Sleeves are not so snug this year. While not flowing, they are comfortably full with chic touches supplied at the cuffs, and sometimes as high as the elbows—feature which seems to diminish the size of the upper arm. Backs Tucked and Seamed “Nearly all the coats, whether for dress wear or for sports, have seamed and tucked backs. Where the slender woman's coat is nipped in at the waist, the coat for the stout woman has cleverly shaped tucks which indicate rather than emphasize the nipped-in lines. Belts may or may not be worn, according to the individual taste. “Flares which are so important in the new dress lines are almost equally important in coats and here, too, have a tendency to make the hips look small. “Coat sleeves are fuller with great emphasis on fancy cuffs and sleeve trimming, enabling designers to work out some very intricate and fascinating effects.” DR. KELLER GIVES LUNCHEON PARTY Dr. Amelia Keller, 3515 Guilford avenue, entertained with a luncheon at her home Thursday. The guests included: > Mesdames James P.. Goodrich, Winchester; A. A. Kist. Portland; Edward C. Toner. Anderson, Albert J. Beveridee, Ovid Butler Jameson and Ernest Bross. Mrs. Brown Is Hostess Mrs. Edward A.
