Claim Made That Light
Cakes Cannot Be Made
In Higher Altitudes
. By Hilda Hnnt
The beauty and comfort of a
living room depends, not so much'
on the actual style of furniture,
as It does on the combination of
that style with its proper grouping
in relation to light. If you have
chosen your house or apartment
with care, you naturally paid par
ticular atention to the location ofJ
the windows. North light is of
course the whitest, but climatic
conditions determine the direction
the house should face for comfort
botn inwinter and summer. '
Light, and plenty of it., is ab
solutely necessary for your good
health and spirits. This applies
doubly to lamps which must take
the sun's place when day is done.
At night the family life naturallv
centers in the living room, and no
matter how beautiful your furn
ishings are in the daytime, it is at
night that they must stand the
most severe test.
What could be more comfort
able for the long winter evenings
than an easy chair drawn up by
the rireside, with "a good book.
Even hte necessary mending
would go faster in such suround
mgs. The chair in the sketch
is a cony of the earlv American
wing variety, with a reversible
down cushion. The buterfly table

MALGAMO IDEA
IN RUE DE LA PAIX
Dressmakers' Doors Tight
- Shut On Hard Working
Designers In Paris
By Hazel Reavts
(AainHatad Pr, Faahloa Editor)
BAR IS (AP) Parisian dress
makers view with some alarm and
not a little suspicion the amalga
matlon of long established creat
ive dressmaking housees in .the
Rue de la Palx. Doeulllet and
Doucet, both old houses with aris
tocratic nd conservative clien
teles, were recently combined un
der Joint management of the Au-
bert group.
There Is a rumor that another
big Rue de la Paix firm is soon to
be purchased by the same group.
They already control the "houses of
Polret and Agnes ani several
smaller houses.
Style creating has heretofore
been a highly individualized busi
ness in Paris, each dressmaker,
jealous of his independence. The
creation of a collection is still
surrounded with as much mystery ,
and secrecy se the mobilization of
Mexican revolutionary force. -If
this ' day-bef ore-Christmas
suspense is removed ana nau a
dozen houses produce collections
agreeing In choice of line, fabric
and color the prestige of present-
day dictators with a single estab
lishment may be threatened.. At

or that : mass production Is to
smother originality. .
air of antiquity,
Light like Sulight
As I emphasized in my last ar
ticle, light must be as near like
sunlight as possible in order to
meet the demands of our eyes.
The science of optometry has
worked out the limitations of the
human eyes and they find that
need for glasses is due, for the
most part, to careless 'treatment
of lights.
.'I They have determined that eyes
were' constructed to see objects
best at about forty feet. With
our present working and living
conditions, almost all obpects with
which we work are within three
feet or less. So, with this stu
pendous adjustment our eyes must
necessarily make. It Is wise to
consider how best to avoid strain.
Lights either help or hinder, and
to make seeing easier, be sure that
the lamps are properly shaded
with non-irltating colors, and that
the glare of a bulb never comes in
direct contact with the eye. -
Wall Fixtures . j
The treatment of the wall fix
er, president of the American Op
tometrlc Association. No matter
how picturesque the unshaded
candelabra is, he says, it should
always be shielded, if you value
your eyesight. Parchment or silk
shields serve two purposes, in that
they may carry out your color
scheme as.-well as reflect against
the wal, thins giving indirect ,U
Inmlnatlon, which is so much to
be desired. Floor lamps are also
approved, provided the standard is
not so tall that the person sitting
near will be able to see the light
bulb
. A tint bf any color Is the best
choice for the inside linings of
lamps, but the various tones of
yellow are by far the best, not
only from the standpoint of being
the easiest on the eyes, but be
cause they bring out the colors in
your furnishings. A dark colored
lamp shade will make the rugs
and hangings lose their true colors
and seem dark and uninteresting,
while gold will bring oat the deli
cate shadings which are easily
cast into mediocrity at night. 1
Men in mountainous countries
who have complained for years
about soggy cakes and solid bis
cults should move to lower levels
if they want to enjoy the whole
some pastries their mothers used
to make, .
- Light cakes simply cannot be
made j, in the' high' altitudes and
this tact is Just now being discov
ered, according to Miss Ingra M
K- Atllsotf, professor of home
economics in the State Agricultur
al College of Colorado, which has
Just completed a number of ex
periments to eliminate the culin
ary conflict between women and
their husbands in mountain
homes.
"Anyone who has tried baking
butter cakes in mountainous re
gions after recipes originating in
New York, for Instance, knows the
sad results," Professor Allison
says in the forthcoming Woman's
Home companion. "Due to atmos
pheric pressure loaves or layers
turn out hopelessly soggy and flat.
The use of less sugar, butter and
baking powder has helped some,
but there has never been a stan
dardization of methods and pro
portions. "Our experimental school has
attempted to solve the problem
with pressure ovens, but these ore
not practicable in all homes. Ow
ing to the fact, too, that water
boils at the altitude of our labora
tory at 201 degrees, eleven de
grees lower than In New York,
there has been great difficulty In
canning.
"In the old days men In this
state sought fame and fortune in
a quest for gold. Now the search
is for more satisfactory living con
ditions and we are trying to reach
these by helping housewives to
make better cakes and overcome
handicaps in general cooking." .

Even when the line decoration

The chic lady of Paris prides her
self on a lop-sided hat, and to car
ry out the idea a few daring ones
wear only one earring. Perhaps
the single earring is for practical
reasons, for often the close fitting
toque dips down so that it covers
one ear. :
A smart Reboux version of that
style is a draped felt which Is
half red and half brown. It gives
the effect Of iwo hat crowns worn
on the sides or tne neaa, over
lapping on top. Reboux puts no
trimming of any kind on the hat.
and she pulls It low over the left
eye, exposing the right eyebrow.
But to. even things up the right
ear is covered and the left ex
posed.
Shaved' silk velour is promin-
ently used for some of the newejt
models. Designs are produced'
o this fashion, often in the form
of wavy lines. These silk velour
hats, are most often of black - for
black hats, like black coats, con
tinue to be the smartest shown in

Just to show you how fashion

without springing it on us too sud
denly, I am showing yon three
examples of evening, gowns 'with
new skirt movements. So much
has been said and wrlten of the
flare, the full skirt and the skirt
lengthening, that we are apt to
get a bit mixed as to Just what Is
meant. Last August, when there
was so much talk of the : flare
Paris was introducing! mention
ed It lxf several of my articles as
the "discreet" flare. This meant
the godet, the slight drape and the
circular front or apron, with now
and then an entirely circular skirt.

predicted as ."raised." At once
some of us began to think" of fall

our straight silhouette. : . j I
None of these things , has hap
pened. Nor has It .happened that
skirts i have , been " perceptibly
lengthened '.'as, the t cry ; longer
skirts" might indicate at the be
ginning of the fall openings. What
has hapened Is that we have added
the slight movement in drape.
godet . and . tier to our skirts, that
the waistline has found Its place
fairly high over the hips, and that
the "longer skirts' confine them
selves to the uneven .hemline
achieved by the drape, godet or
points. Of -course I am speaking
of the new afternoon and evening
mode in the broad sense, not In
cluding the period Interpretations,
like the evening frocks with a
skirt short in the front, dipping
on thesldes and almost trallingln
the back.
I JCew Skirt Movement

by Mme. Frances Clyne, of a very
delicate pink chiffon embroidered

type of frock that depends upon
its costume Jewelry, as well as Its
design, for embeUishment. : "
