Iced Grapefruit, Hotel Shoe Rags Delight Frenchman Fills Note Book With Hints, Hunches Gleaned While Guest In American Hostelries By ALICE HUGHES Copyright, 1936, By The Akron Beacon Journal THERE may be a few trifling respects in which our manner of life is inferior to that of the rest of the world, but in at least one regard we are top dog. The "Great American Gadget" is certainly boss of the universe. We are so used to the little produets which smooth life's rocky road that we do not realize what daighted gasps and squeals they can awake in a visitor from other parts. I have just been talking with M. Max Blouet, director of Paris' great Hotel George and found him positively enraptured over little tricks in our hotels which we accept without even noticing.

He has a little red book jammed with hints and hunches to take home. The good monsieur is ecstatic over the American custom of serving grapefruit nesting in a bowl of mashed ice as simple as that! He vows that when he gets home a note pad will rest by every phone in the George Cinq. The shoe-rags and razor-blade wipers in each room send him into spluttering transports, as do the cards on hotel which are to be filled out by the diner and handed to the waiter if the guest is expecting a message. But what you suppose pleases monsieur most? The non-skid rubber mats in the bathrooms! Sacred name of pipe! Quel stunt! "Generally speaking," says M. Blouet, "the American cuisine is better than the French.

Your beef is supreme in the world. Our chickens are better they are more carefully fed." Count your blessings, sisters! The little gadget tricks, monuments to our national ingenuity, are probably our claim to world A high-powered committee of store people and fashion experts here has just completed a survey of a thousand well-dressed women, and found that they want the following details in their clothes. The "Elegant Thousand" want their skirts a little shorter for daytime wear (about 13 1-2 inches) but no shorter for evening. They like wide shoulders. They want full skirts for walking-freedomand no exaggerated slits.

They may not accept the new mannish suits. Evening clothes should be less sophisticated and more fluffy. Fewer gadgets, more black, and washable accessories. Weil, what do you think?
