Here is a modish winter suit in his faorite mate rial. A feature is tho elaborately embroidered panel 11 tho bark A Dally Fashion Tnlk by Florence Rose IT REALLY seems as if every woman you know well enough to talk clothes with is plnnnlng to get a suit. Ry the time peace came last autumn it was too lute to think about new suits for autumn or winter. Most of us went about ordering new evening frocks to wear to victory balls and other such gain affairs, but our plans had been made for our suits and they were for the most part made according to the war time idea of what a suit should be, something eminently serviceable nnd, if not actually 11 uniform at least very uniformish in appearance. Rut now well, ically women did get awfully tired of their uniforms and now they have gone to the other extreme and are gettiug the most olnbornte suits they can find velvet nnd em broidery nnd all sorts of other little feminine devices. Men who have been in the army and navy, you know, al ways pick that sort of suit for their wives. And speaking of what men like nnd admire did you ever notice bow they fnll for black velvet? Try this experi ment if you aren't convinced. Select two suits of the same price nnd value, let ting one to be a black velvet suit nnd the other, let us sny, n navy blue serge or cheviot, or possibly n tweed. Induce the husband to go with you to the shop where you have made your selections and then without giving him any hint I ns to the prices nf the suits, get him to look nt both suits. Try them on ' and let him sec you wearing them. And unless the man suspects a plot of some kind or happens to be in some business connected with fabric or clothing, he will surely come to the decision that the suit of black velvet is far more ex pensive nnd what he calls "richer" than the other one. And here is a safe bet, that if you selected for your elaborate winter suit one like the one illustrated, you would convince the husband that you had got your money's worth, that you had shown excellent taste. And that, of course, Is because of the universal par tiality of mere man for black velvet. The panel attached to tho joko in the back is something that again reminds, us that this is the season of backs. And the back is further elaborated by the use of embroidery nnd fur nt the lower edge of the panel. The collar Is of fur and tho toque is of velvet with aigrettes at the side that give the outline of a' Food flMBiHK Per Cent TSSfej. .. 7 WA 11 WifiSmtiffiSm. 1 mBmwaffilm 75 flRMslilllnEm ;aH WmMmm ) lo-b USING One-Tenth of Total Weight Should Be Protein or Body-Building and Re pair Substance four ounces of meat, fish, eggs or legumes, One potato, Salad, Dessert.

Starchy foods and fats arc also heat-producing foods and are con sumed in larger proportions during the fall nnd winter, owing to tho fact that tho cold weather chills the surface of the body and more heat is needed. Faulty elimination and overeating will prdouce autointoxication, which '" its trnin brings "other diseases. , To attempt to prescribe remedies without first consulting a physician is dangerous. Consult a physician and then carefully follow his direc tions for dieting, cutting down and eliminating such foods as he will prescribe. Drink plenty of water, grape juice and buttermilk. Care of Woolen Garments Systematic brushing of your clothes eery day will lessen expenditures for cleaning. Rrushing done with n circu lar motion removes loose dirt, restores the nap nnd will help remove "shino." Skillful mending of wool garments is another means of prolonging their period of usefulness, sny home economics ex ports of the Department of Agriculture. The success of n mend depends on maintaining the soft nppearnuce of the surface, duplicating the weave, and ulng colors to match those in the gar ment. Darning is practically the only method that will fulfill all these requirements. If the material is cotton in one direction nnd wool in another, make the darn t correspond to the fibers in tho original. Identify the weave and duplicate it as nearly as possible. Use colors which match, or neutral tones with specks of I color ns near the shade as possible. Use net, tape or mending tissue whenever possible for re-enforcement. Press the mended place and it will be less con- I spicuous. The Successful Visitor Visiting Is nn'art. To make people feel at home in their own bouse is the highest point of human conduct. "He was never any trouble," said a certain woman of her husband, who, though he had never supported her, neverthe less made her happy for thirty years. What an epitaph for a permanent visitor ! To visit properly requires supreme gifts. Silent visitors often get on one's nerves more thnn the parrots. Their staring eyes, their maddening acquies cence In everything i.one for them, their almost inexcusable lack of enthusiasm, leave one dead and cold nnd weary. In contrast, we all know the jumping guest who is always ready to meet your slightest suggestion with projectile-like nctivity, nnd who bounces about the place from morning till night jostling your sacred nnd inviolable Ideas and tramping roughshod over our mental gardens, with sublime unconcern.

Speed up, boys; opinions are not facts. "A Doll" is ns necessary to man (unmarried) ns a cigar or cigarette, and satisfies his demand for the ex pensive in life When we make n "Doll's" acquaintance we do not look for her soul, ntnbition or wifely qualifi cation. If they can "make up" well the symbol is worth parading. When ninny of tho boys nre through with the day's work and shed their unlonalls they "doll up" considerably if a on pusher or member of the white collar brigade has tried to "dale up" the "doll." Where's the harm? When many of us grow tired of jazz and calcimine and begin to think of kid dies nnd a home, we seek the real girl nnd, of course, she is more than an ornament. I have met many of the girls In fac tories nnd mills throughout the states. None of the "dolls" hnvc vamped me or the other boys. Perhaps we were not worth vamping.

An Imitation gem is a reminder of the genuine, nrtlcle. It Is accepted by thn ignorant as the genuine. A symbol is only a reminder in the form of "a doll." Nevertheless it raises the value and demand for "tho genuine girl." ELECTRICIAN. Let the "Dolls" Alone Dear Cynthia T have been following tho discussion rating the nros nnd cons of the doll type of girl with much mien-si, una wouia like to put in a word myself. Somewhere, in my literary wander ings, I have met a verse running thusly : "There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us, That it hardly behooves any of us, To tnlk about the rest of us." And isn't it true? Rut, to come to the point. I am a girl still in ray teens, well educated, having been ghon many advantages, and nmong my accomplishments is numbered a fluent knowledge of foreign languages, from which I derive much pleasure. I hold a responsible position, nrd for a girl a rather unique one. Itut I am confined in an oflicp all day long. Hy reason of close application I sometimes take on a little pallor, then I bring my rouge into play. I do not promenade the thoroughfare with hectic cheeks; I simply relieve the pallor. When my position warrants my seeing morn of the great outdoors, I am not obliged to resort to rouge for color. When I need it, I live it. AVhen I do not, I dispense with it. Rut why knock the dolls? If a wholesale use of cosmetics gives them pleasure, let them go to it. Criticism will not force them to discard same. Ono girl is not held responsible for the actions of many others. Girls, be natural, I!oys, be n little more broad minded. If you do not care for the doll type of girl, avoid her company. If you do admire her, you will seek her anyway. Rut don't knock.

If the girl gives up n couple of evenings a wyek to a course in liter ature and n couple of others to prepar ing for it she will have to give up, to a large extent, going out at night. "I am twenty-three," she writes, "and I don't feel that I can afford to drop out of things thnt way. When n girl gets to my age it's important for her to be meeting new men because 1 am very frank about it most of us ex pect to be married some day. If I give my evenings I will get all out of touch with social life because by the time 1 finish the course I want to take I will be twenty-five. Then where will I be?
