IL B1ushing q Disease?-Singular Theory
of . French Expert Who Has Made a
Study of Blushes-Some Pen Pictures
of the Fashions.
Is Biushing q Disease?

The general idea that blushing is
due to fullness of blood in the brain
is incorrect, according to the new
theory of a French expert. 1t arises
from the relaxation of the arteries of
the face, neck and breast, thus allow
ing an extra quantity Of blood to rush
to the skin. Those arteries have in
their walls layer of rings of muscu-
lar fiber, which contract or relax ac-
cording to the condition of the patient,
and so permit the arteries to become
more or less full of blood. When they
are extra full which occurs in weak
ness, the patient bushes.
Blushers are more liable to redden
in damp or stormy weather than in tne
cold days of winter or the hot days of
summer. If this glowing of the face
were the result of emotion, why this
difference? If it be due to weakness
the fact assumes the appearance OF
probabil
There are two closely allied causes
of blushing. One is named "ereutho-
phobia," that is the ordinary cause
WedkueSS anu Tie extreme ScuSlllFC-
ness and other conditions caused by
1t. The other is designated "erytho-
phobia," and is the fear that one will
blush unconsciously at awkward mo-
ments.
The latter is peculiar form of the
disease The individual in question,
although not given to blushing be-
comes gradually possessed with fear
that he will do so at some inopportune
time, and this fear grows upon him
until 1t completely masters him and
makes him grow red in the face when
there is not the slightest reason for it.
At the most simple question the color
rises and he is placed in the most az
surd situation. He is looked upon
with suspicion, because other people
accept his confusion as consciousness
of guilt; he recognizes the fact and, of
course, his condition grows worse.
Weakness is responsible in this case
also for the deplorable state of things
for when the sufferer is taken in hand
and gets "braced up" he smiles at his
former fears.
It must be very strong emotion that
causes flush to come to the face of a
really healthy man or woman. What
ever they may feel they will not show
It any more than they will show fear
when confronted by great danger.

OZONE IN CLEAN CLOTHES.
Simple Method of Freshening the Air
of "A SiCkrOom.

of a sickroom.
Almost everyone has noticed the Pc
culiarly refreshing smell of clean lin
en- especially when just taken from the
lines and brought indoors. 1t is not so
generally known how valuable Is the
connection between this cool and
grateful odor and the ozone which Is
so necessary in sickroom. The Lon
don Lancet, standard medical author
ity, contains an article ON this SUBJ
ject, in which it is stated that the at
mosphere Of an apartment may be
charged with ozone by bringing into
1t damp linen sheets that have just
been exposed to a dry sharp wind.
Bringing them into the house and
shaking them or waving them about in
the air OF the room will, according to
the statements made, change the char
acter Of the air. This is a matter of
importance to invalids, who often be-
come exhausted from lack of ozone in
the air they breathe. A means so SIM
pie and effective and one that is within
the reach of every person should be
generally understood. 1t seems that
all that is necessary is to bring the lin
en- to the room Immediately after it is
taken from the lines out of doors and
shake and whirl it about, when the
character of the air will be altered at
once. Hospital attendants oftentimes
remark how readily patient will drop
into a quiet sleep after bed linen has
been renewed. The cause is doubtless
to be found in the ozone released from
the sheets newly washed and aired.
