By MARIAN YOUNG ~ NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (NEA).— There’s an air of formality about new fall and winter coats. Whether fitted and flared, swagger or boxy, fur-trimmed or not, the coat you buy this season will have a quietly elegant look about it. . Smooth-textured fabrics are most important, with broadcloth, velour, .twill and duvetyne highlighted. The weave of one comparatively new coat “woolen simulates needlepoint and happens to be the kind of material which doesn’t show sbits of . dust and lint all too quickly. : For a town coat, look at fitted and flared silhouettes that mold

the bosom, waistline and hips and .

-flare at the hemlipe. There are untrimmed princess reefers in this category, of course. And with one of these, youll wear a separate fur piece of sable, baum martin or silver fox. :

Large Collars Favored

Enormous collars of long-haired furs are prominent again. Maggy Rouff and Molyneux show huge shawl types. Molyneux uses lynx, also. And Patou makes large collars of fox. . The popularity of fur trimmings doesn’t stop at the neckline, however. Rather flat furs are used to ‘make yokes and collars, yokes and sleeves or vertical sleeve bands, panels down the front, tuxedo revers, corselet belts, hemline bands. One lovely black wool tweed model, designed by Helen Cookman, thas yoke and sleeves of shiny Persian lamb. It is collarless, fitted at waist, flaring at hem..Although de_cidedly a dressy town coat, this combines an air of casual chic with

sophisticated elegance. One could £

wear it without ever feeling too dressed up or too dressed down.

Coeds Like Swaggers

Flat brown and gray furs are §

‘widely used. Skunk, nutria, sheared beaver and seal are headlined. You can’t go wrong on any-one of these. Or on black Persian lamb or silver fox. The bloused-back, dolman-sleeved coat is shown in all collections. And So are various types of loose swaggers. College girls like the latter in bold checks, plaids and novelty wools. And, in various lengths, they are ideal for country, too. Fulllength, unfitted box coats are both furred and unfurred.

Careful Choice of Food, Not

Cost, Held Chief Diet Rule

Times Special

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—How money is spent for food vate than how much, is important in assuring adequate diets, according to Dr. Hazel K. Stiebeling, senior food economist of the Bureau of Home Economics," U. S. Department of Agriculture. City people whose diets are now below par would be better fed at no

extra cost if they selected their ¢

food wisely, she said. ~ In an article on “How Income ‘Affects Diet,” prepared for discussion at one of the sessions of the Seventh International Management Congress, to be held in Washington ‘Sept. 19 to 23, Dr. Stiebeling states: “There appears to be a minimum expenditure for food below which families are very unlikely to obtain good diets. On the other hand, there are levels of expenditure high enough: to enable almost every family to ¢btain an adequate diet. Between these two points is a wide zone, wherein ‘some families manage to secure ‘very good’ diets; others receive ‘good’ or perhaps only ‘f diets, while still others have defl nitely ‘poor’ diets. “In other words, the kind of diet which families get in return for a moderate food expenditure, say between $100 and $250 per capita per year, depends on their food choices and food habits. This observation is of great importance inasmuch as this range of expenditure includes the majority of families in this country.”

Diet Rations Analyzed

Analyzing diet rations and food expenditures based on data from 21,000 nonrelief families, Dr. Stiebeling continues: “While three-quarters of the families were spending $100 or more per person per year for food, an amount on which a fair number of ramilies obtained excellent diets, fewer than 30 -per cent were in practice selecting excellent diets, and it was only when $240 or more per person yearly was available for

food that dietary adequacy was|.

secured by almost every family. The level of expenditure. for food is plainly not the only factor determining the nutritional quality of the diet.” Although $165 per person per year is “enough and to spare” for the purchase of a fully adequate diet by an wi nutritionist, only about half of the housewives with their present purchasing habits are likely to get good diets for this sum, ac‘cording to Dr. Stiebeling. “The nutrition problem of the

great mass of nonrelief white fami- | to

lies is that of making the best possible use of the amounts of money now available for food, and in the case of rural families, of more careful planning of food production to

‘meet the family’s needs,” she de-

clares. The chief lack in present-day diets, according to Dr. Stiebeling, are the “protective foods”’—vegetables, fruits and milk in its various forms. Without liberal quantities of these, diets cannot furnish sufficient quantities of some of the essential minerals and vitamins. The income needed to support a

level of $165 per capita food expen-

diture unit yearly depends, Dr. Stiebeling says, upon food prices and the size and composition of the family. In 1935-36 in Northern small cities, it took an average income of $1000 for families of husband and wife; of about $2000 when there were one or two children under 16, and more than $3000 yearly when families included parents and three to six children under 16, or families with one or more persons over 16 as well as some children under ‘16. An interesting commentary on purchasing habits was made in

showing the proportionate amount |

of a $100 income “increase” which various income groups would de-

vote -to food. According to an an-

alysis. among families in certain small cities the proportion of the increase spent for food would vary by income classes as follows: : 1. Families with incomes under $1500 yearly (60 per cent were in this class) would probably spend $20 of the $100 increase for food. 2. Families with incomes between $1500 and $3000 (32 per cent were in ihis class) would probably spend

3. Families with incomes between $3000 to $7500 (8 per eent were in this class) would probably spend only $3 for food out of the $100 income increase.

Suit Is Recommended

"The ideal street costume for fall wear is the three-piece suit— jacket and skirt of = soft, warmtoned wool and fur overcoat. The latter you’ll wear, too, all * winter over sheer wool or heavy crepe frocks. One such ensemble, seen in an exclusive Fifth Ave. shop, consists of a fingertip length, boxy coat of gray kidskin over a collarless wine-colored soft wool suit, distinguished = by clever low-placed pockets and huge dull buttons down the front of the closely fitting jacket.

The skirt is plain, wide-gored. You'll

like the suit alone in late September and love the luxurious warmth of the fur overcoat when autumn’s brisk breezes mature into winter’s brisker winds. ;

Improved Figure : Dependent Upon ‘Daily Exercises

By ALICIA HART :

One who has bulging hips and a protruding stomach is going to be no more flattered by new fall fash ions than the thin, boyishly curveless girl. The ideal figure—fall 1938 °* —is small waisted with gracefully curved hips and a high, rousd bosom. If your hips aren’t as trim as they should be, by all means start doing special exercises regularly and correctly. One of the simplest of these is the rolling routire, of course. ‘Simply lie flat on the floor with arms at sides and ankles together. Now, keeping shoulders flat on the hard surface and ankles together, roll hips to the left as far as possible, then to the right. Res peat 20 times the first day, 25 the second, 30 the third and so on. ~ To slenderize the waistline, ride an imaginary bicycle for five mine utes every day. Just lie on the floor with arms at sides and knees drawn up to stomach. ‘Now ride the bicycle, pushing one leg up-

‘| ward against an imaginary pedal,

then bring knee back to stomach as other leg is stretched upward. * Bending exercises also are wone derful for the waistline, Stand with feet about 12 inches apart, arms stretched toward the ceiling with palms facing each other. Naw, keeping arms parallel with eafs, bend to the right as far as possible, backward to the left, forward and again to the right. Repeat at least 15 times a day. To strengthen the pectoral muse cles - which. support the breasts, swim; using the breast stroke a great deal, as often as possible. If you do not live near a lake, beach or swimming pool, do the breast storke exercise 20 times a day.

* Open Tomorrow Until 3:30 P. M.
