Swing Skirt and Contrast Jacket
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
fjpHE sports costumes here shown
j A are just about as swank as they
make ’em. The feature emphasized
|by each and which, let us assure
you, is a first and foremost trend
in the styling of spring suits and
sports outfits is that of the jacket
that contrasts the skirt. This idea
of contrast jacket and skirt is car-
rying on so successfully, leading
specialty shops and sportswear de-
ipartments are selling one skirt
plus several jackets. With different
“sets” of accessories the costume
may be tuned to intriguing and
varied color moods.
A copper, brown and beige striped
tweed jacket topping a light brown
tweed skirt makes a smart spectator
sports costume for spring as worn
by the young woman seated above
in the illustration. It is voguish-
ly ensembled with a pale beige felt
sports hat, matching doeskin gloves,
deep copper brown calf spectator
sports shoes with built-up leather
heels and fine lisle mesh copper
color stockings. The tailoring of
(the jacket shows superb workman-
ship and the presence of useful as
well as decorative pockets declares
that fashions are muchly pocketed.
The girl in the foreground is wear-
ing a favorite campus costume—a
swing pleated skirt in colorful plaid
,wool (a “must have” in every chic
wardrobe) and twin sweaters in nat-
ural beige cashmere. Fine self
Stripes add to the fashion interest
of her new durene lisle stockings
which are now so voguish.
If there is one lesson more than
inother that the new spring fash-
ions impress upon us it is that a
Costume is only as smart and cor-
rect . as the accessories worn with
lit. There is absolutely no hit-and-
miss selection tolerated when it
comes to headwear, ♦footwear, the
gloves, belts, bags, even the hand-
kerchiefs we carry, that correlate
r<
a modern costume into a perfect
unit.
Especially in the realm of sport-
wear is the theory of the right ac-
cessories for the right costume be-
ing worked out to a nicety. In fact
we have gone quite English when
it comes to perfection of detail
that has to do with our town and
country tweeds, our spectator and
active sports clothes and our cam-
pus outfits. Consider the matter
of shoes and hosiery that should
be worn with the sturdy outdoor cos-
tume. British women have long es-
tablished as correct accessory to
their smart tweeds, brogues that
spell comfort and a fitness of things.
With these they wear sensible fine
lisle hosiery. We, the American
women, are coming to just that. In-
deed, the most exciting news about
stockings is the recent introduction
of smartly styled full-fashioned
sports stockings of domestic cotton
lisle.
This spring nearly all the lead-
ing hosiery manufacturers are
bringing out home-grown durene
lisle hose that are sleek, bulkless
and flattering, tuned to the taste
of the most fastidious. If the men-
tion of lisle hosiery makes you think
of the drab regulation stockings of
boarding school days, you will be
astonished at the beautiful styling
of the new-patterned sports lisles,
and in designs that simply cry for
co-ordination with spectator tweeds
and active sport costumes. Im-
portant style news in connection
with the new durene lisles is that
they revive clocks, smart in either
self or contrast embroidery. These
stockings also are to be had in
spaced or close dropstitch ribs. The
mesh constructions are particularly
good looking and are adaptable to
tailored street costumes as well as
to classic sports clothes.

Outstanding examples of this
year’s casual coat styles are the
natural colored wool coats for trav-
el, sports or campus. Soft wool
fleece is used for the fitted and
flared model pictured with its pad-
ded shoulders, slash pockets and
broad collar of raccoon. Keep in
mind when buying either coat or a
suit that the light beiges, particu-
larly cereal tones are going to be
*the thing” this season.
SELF-STYLED SUEDE
HATS ARE POPULAR
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
The new drape-it-yourself suede
hats are selling about as fast as
the sales checks can be made out.
They are in the most beguiling col-
ors for suede, as we all know, takes
dyes most beautifully and these hats
are worth the price for their color
alone. It is a joy to behold their
exquisite pastel colorings that in-
clude such lovely soft grayish blues,
pretty “dusty” pinks, mint green,
lilac shades, the new golds and cop-
pers and the voguish cereal shades.
You can get any of the darker col-
ors, navy, brown, dubonnet red,
raspberry—any color you want. Be-
fore you put one of these suede
fantasies on, they look shapeless,
but with a deft pat here, and a cun-
ning twist there, presto! you have
a most becoming chapeau tuned to
your individuality and hairdress,
and with a little more coaxing these
hats can be manipulated to wear in
a dozen or more different ways.
They are smart as can be to wear
at the immediate moment and they
give the costume just the touch of
color that is needed to lead on to
spring. Best of it is they are rea-
sonably priced, and it’s lots of fun
being one’s own milliner.
A Smart Hat
Pillboxes are smart. They offer
the low crown and forward pitch
that many women long for again.
They come in close-woven straws
or felts and are nearly always dark
in color, accented with some bright
hue. A number are given height
by trims.
Wedding Styles
Long svelte simplicity of line is
the basic note for wedding ensem-
bles.

Tragic Diary
Of Priso
Clears Name
Elizabeth
James
By ELIZABETH C. JAMES
EJ AVE you ever read “Peter Ib-
A -*■ betson,” by George du Mau-
rier?
The story is in diary form, sup-
posedly written during Peter’s twen-
ty-fifth year in prison. He described
his parents, Monsieur and Madam
Pasquier, and his
pleasant childhood
in Paris. Unusually
sensitive to beauty,
even as a boy he
felt magic in the
presence of his love-
ly mother. His diary
relates incidents
concerning a little
invalid, Mimsey,
who was his play-
mate, and whose
imagination idolized
Gogo,' as she called
Peter.
Suddenly the life in Paris was
broken by the death of both parents
and Peter was sent to London to
become the ward of his Uncle Ib-
betson, whose name Peter took. The
following years were dull and ir-
ritating, for Peter was lonely and
ill at ease. After he reached man-
hood he completely broke with his
uncle upon learning that he lied
about the women of his circle to en-
hance his reputation as a devil. Pe-
ter went down to London and be-
came an indifferent architect.
One evening at a formal enter-
tainment he met the Duchess of
Towers, and again he felt the magic
of perfect beauty. She reminded
him vaguely of Mimsey, the child-
hood friend. The Duchess of Tow-
ers became the dream lady of his
life, as far beyond reality as the
stars.
Dream Coincidence.
In London sometime later, Peter
went into the country to submit de-
signs for redecorating a castle, and
the duchess was the first person
who came out into the garden. Since
this meeting was informal, he be-
gan to relate his strange dream to
her. She interrupted him, then con-
tinued the dream herself, finishing
it just as he had dreamed it. On
the same night they had dreamed
an identical dream.
The duchess said: “The first time
that I saw you, I thought you were
TWICE-FAMED
George Louis Palmella Busson
Du Maurier was born in London
of French parents, who had fled
from Paris during the Reign of
Terror. George was versatile as
a boy, and developed into an art-
ist of twin skills. His pen and
ink sketches, conveying a deli-
cate social satire, were a regu-
lar feature of Punch for years.
As a novelist he is well known
for “Trilby,” a story of Bohe-
mian life in the Latin quarter,
and for “Peter Ibbetson.”
Gogo Pasquier, but you turned out
to be Peter Ibbetson.”
So she was his Mimsey after all!
He then explained the events of
the intervening years, relating how
he had been adopted by his uncle.
It seemed unbelievable that Mimsey
could now be strong and well and
how lovely! And married to the
duke of Towers. Thus were these
childhood sweethearts brought to-
gether again.
Their meetings continued, and de-
spite the circumstances of the duch-
ess’ marriage, they loved each oth-
er. In order that they might be to-
gether, the duchess explained to Pe-
ter a scientific secret revealed to
her by her father, the secret of
spiritual life available while the
body is deep in sleep. Thus each night,
he and the duchess of Towers met
each other in the memories of child-
hood. Later they became so strong
in their spiritual bodies that they
could exchange knowledge of pres-
ent happenings.
Tragedy Stalks.
Then Peter killed his Uncle Ib-
betson. It was the result of lies
that the uncle had told about Pe-
ter’s mother. At his trial, Peter
declined to defend himself, prefer-
ring not to bring into court the sto-
ries which so angered him. The
court sentenced Peter Ibbetson to
prison for life.
Life in prison was not wretched.
Physical activity kept Peter strong
and his mind was at peace so that
he was a model prisoner.
Years had passed. Then came
one frightful night. When Peter’s
soul left his sleeping body and
sought to meet the soul of his love
he met a blank wall. Peter awoke,
calmed himself, and then fell asleep
again. The second time he tried
and met blankness, and a third
time. The duchess of Towers was
dead. Peter became insane.
One night the duchess came back
to him. She explained that she had
come to him this one time to com-
fort him and to unfold for him
knowledge of many things: That he
must not grieve, that in the other
world you learn that there is really
no Time, and that his attempts at
suicide would never succeed.
To occupy his mind, the prisoner
began to write this account of his
life, much of it in code because he
disliked the thought of the world
reading it.

Relates the Miracle of VITAMINS and
Explains Why YOU MUST EAT
THEM or DIE • © ®

6 East 39th St., New York.
\\TE LIVE in the most inspiring age the world has ever
known. Chemists grow plants without soil. Doctors
snatch men from death with insulin. Surgeons perform in-
credibly delicate brain operations. And thanks to the amaz-
ing discoveries of nutritional scientists, children enter the world
with far better chances for long and happy lives, while men and
women of seventy are more active and useful than their grand-
parents were at fifty. <$—•--------
Much of the hard - won green ,eaves and yellow (ruits and

VITAMINS DISCOVERED
APPETITE AND VITAMIN B
Vitamin B promotes appetite,
aids digestion, prevents a serious
nerve disorder. It is essential to
Twenty-six years ago, a now- ‘he mamtenance of a good diges-
famous scientist walked nervously th >? obtain’TuTbenefit
around his labora-
tory, back and
forth — back and
forth. He was con-
ducting a nutrition
experiment of vast
importance. H e
didn’t quite know
................... what he was going
to find, but he be-
||k lieved that he was
fln °n the ver£e °fa
Bilik frill revolutionary food
discovery.
The scientist was my friend,
Casimir Funk, a brilliant Polish
bio-chemist. He had been work-
ing on the problem for many
years. At last, in the year 1912,
his experiments were positive and
conclusive. Then he announced
to the scientific world that he had
discovered a vital force. “This
force,” said Funk, “I have called
vitamine, because it is necessary
to life.”
Thus, the word “vitamin” came
into being, along with the first
knowledge of these minute but
powerful factors which exert such
a tremendous influence on human
health and happiness.
• • •
SPARK PLUGS OF NUTRITION
Other bio-chemists throughout
the world—including Sir Frederick
Gowland Hopkins in England, and
Hart, Humphrey, Babcock, Steen-
bock and McCollum in the United
States—had been working on the
same problem that Funk had par-
tially solved. They knew that the
first step was to find out how vita-
mins affected the human body,
and that the second step was to
discover what foods contained
these vital substances.
And so there began a long se-
ries of experiments in the labora-
tories of great universities all
over the world, which demonstrat-
ed what happens when a diet is
deficient in any of the vitamins,
and proved that if laboratory ani-
mals are wholly deprived of vita-
mins for a short time they will
die.
These experiments are of the ut-
most significance to every home-
maker, because the same thing
happens to human beings as to
experimental animals. Today our
knowledge of vitamins has pro-
gressed to such a degree that it
is possible to state the exact re-
quirement for most of the vita-
mins and to designate the foods
from which adequate quantities
can be obtained.

RESISTANCE AND VITAMIN A
To date, six vitamins have been
identified. Vitamin A promotes
growth and builds resistance to
disease. It is necessary for the
health of the mucous membranes
of the body and helps to guard
against infections of the respira-
tory and alimentary tracts. It in-
fluences the health of the hair and
skin, is necessary to prevent a
serious eye disorder known as
night blindness, and is essential
for the formation of healthy teeth.
Vitamin A is found in milk, but-
ter, margarine that has been re-
inforced with vitamin A concen-
trate, egg yolk, cod-liver oil, thin
Have You a Question?
Ask C. Houston Goudiss
C* HOUSTON GOUDISS has
placed at the disposal of
readers of this newspaper all
the facilities of his famous Ex-
perimental Kitchen-Laboratory
in New York City. He will
gladly answer questions con-
cerning foods, diet, nutrition,
and their relation to health.
You are also invited to consult
him in matters of personal hy-
giene. It’s not necessary to

the body is to obtain full benefit
from the food consumed. This
vitamin is closely related to the
energy metabolism, and the re-
quirement increases with the rate
of growth and with increased en-
ergy expenditure, so that growing
children and working men and
women should receive very gen-
erous amounts.
Vitamin B is found in yeast,
whole wheat cereals, oatmeal,
milk, fresh and dried peas and
beans, spinach, cabbage and other
greens, egg yolk and liver.
• • •
VITAMIN C FOR TEETH, GUMS
Vitamin C plays an important
part in regulating body processes,
and prevents the dread disease of
scurvy. A lack of this essential vi-
tamin results in profound changes
in the structure of the teeth and
gums, may be responsible for
hemorrhages occurring anywhere
in the body, and for the degenera-
tion of muscle fibers generally.
Vitamin C is most abundant in
succulent fresh green leaves, such
as green cabbage. It is also found
in onions, potatoes, oranges, to-
matoes, green peppers, bananas
and strawberries. In most foods,
it is easily destroyed by heat—
that is why it is so important to
include some fresh raw foods in
the diet daily.
• • •
VITAMIN D AND RICKETS
Vitamin D is sometimes called
the sunshine vitamin because it
can be manufactured in the body
through the action of direct sun-
light on the skin. This is the vita-
min that is necessary for the
proper utilization of calcium and
phosphorus in building bones and
teeth. When it is lacking in the
diet of infants, there develops that
horrible disease known as rickets,
in which the bones become soft
and twisted, resulting in pitiful
deformities — knock knees, bow
legs, pigeon breast.
In foods, vitamin D is only
found in appreciable amounts in
fish-liver oils and egg yolk. That
is why every homemaker should
be so grateful to the scientists who
labored to discover how to con-
centrate this precious vitamin
from fish-liver oils and add it to
foods, or to increase the vitamin
D content of foods through irradi-
ation.

Urardeners
Picking for Taste
A VOID the common mistake of
letting vegetables grow too
long before picking. Younger vege-
tables are more tender, more nour-
ishing, and more palatable. Root
crops—radish, carrot, beet—are
at their best when hardly half
grown.
Pick peas just before pods fill
out completely. Pick corn just at
the “milk” stage, that is, when
the kernel, gouged with the finger
nail, yields a milky juice. Use
summer squash when small, soon
after the blossom has dropped off.
Other vegetables, of course,
should be allowed to mature more
completely before using. Toma-
toes should be ripened well on
the vine as should winter squash.
Cantaloupe are at their best when
they need not be pulled from the
stem, but roll off the vine at a
touch.
There are, of course, exceptions
to these rules. For instance, some
may wish to use green tomatoes
for special dishes or for canning;
or they may wish to allow beans
to grow to the dry stage.

however, appear to be necessary
for successful reproduction and is
found especially in wheat germ
and lettuce.
VITAMIN G PROLONGS YOUTH
Vitamin G is necessary for
growth and for the maintenance
of health and vigor at all ages.
It helps to ward off old age by
prolonging the vigorous middle
years. It is essential to the health
of the skin, and recent experi-
ments demonstrate that cataracts
in the eyes may be due to a de-
ficiency of this vitamin, which is
found in yeast, and in liver, kid-
neys, egg yolk, milk, cheese and
green leafy vegetables.
One authority claims that
chronic disorders of the throat,
stomach, lungs, colon, heart and
kidneys may be traced to vitamin
and mineral deficiencies.
Certainly enough has been
learned of vitamin chemistry to
make clear that the homemaker
fails in her duty who does not pro-
vide vitamins in abundance for
every member of her family. Both
children and adults depend upon
you for their food supply. It lies
within your power to help them to
health and happiness or condemn
them to weakness, illness and sor-
row. Do not fail them. See to it
that every member of your house-
hold—your children, the wage
earners, the middle aged and the
elderly—get enough vitamins to
afford them the health that sci-
ence has placed within their
grasp.

Whal Is the Cause of
"Spider-Web Check"?;
If not properly “fed” with a
good oil polish, furniture in time
develops what is known as “spi-
der-web check!” This appears on
the finish, like wrinkles on the
human face—fine lines, spreading
here and there in a spider-web
pattern. This crazing, this light
cracking, is known in furniture
language as “checking” and “spi-
der-web checking” better de-
scribes the condition. This is the
danger-signal, on finish! It’s the
indication of “starving” wood! A
warning to the housewife, that if
the finish is not cared for imme-
diately and properly, the furniture
will develop cracks, ridges and
splits. “Spider-web check” is gen-
erally the result of either one of
these two causes: Polish-neglect
—or the use of a poor, cheap pol-
ish—without the essential fine,
light-oil base. When the furniture
is periodically “massaged” with a
reputable oil polish (the best is
non-greasy), the pores of the wood
are “fed” and the piece is pre-
served. Then “spider-web check”
will not appear! The use of a
quality oil polish is the best pre-
ventive formula for this ugly,
detrimental check!
MORE WOMEN USE
O-CEDAR POLISH
THAN ANY OTHER KIND!
... because O-Cedar not only cleans
as it polishes, but preserves your fur-
niture—“feeds” the finish, prevents
drying-out, cracking. Insist
upon O-Cedar Polish, for
furniture, woodwork and
floors (with the fa-
mous O-Cedar
Mop).
