its way to the city as well as the coun-

fashions as we'll as French. Visiting,
reception, and evening gowns, are, Of
course, made long with a decided
sweep to the skirts.
There is great variety in the way
of sleeves. In general style they are
somewhat wider than those Of last
| winter and are much trimmed. The
sleeves reaching to the elbow with a
turned back cuff and undersleeves of
some contrasting material, gathered
into band at the wrist, is ii popular
style for this season.
| A bit of informa ton which is hailed
with joy by women blessed with good
figures is that the habit or plain back
skirt has again become fashionable.
Inverted pleats are still much worn,
however, and clusters of fine, length
wise tucks.
The fashionable color for this winter
is green. 1t is several years since
green has been so popular Brown, cas-
tors, reds and blacks are also much
worn. Blue is stable color and pas
tel tints are still fashionable for house
wear.
Plain cloths are preferred to fancy
or figured materials, although brightly
colored plaids are much worn by child
rem for the "misses' and ladies' de
partments.'
The first thing that most womel

The French government has just be- gun to carry out a great work of hu- manity in Madagascar. Until recently medical missionaries were the only doc tors in the island. Several years ago the governor general established q school of medicine and hospital at the capital; and now this school is turning out regularly graduated physicians. are already proving themselves to be competent practitioners. With his white medical staff and the intelligent natives who are being trained, the gov ernor general now hopes to widely ex- tend the medical service. Many natives trained for medical service will travel from one village to another distributing medicines and treating the i'll. Particu- lar attention will be given to the care of children as the mortality among in- fants is actually 40 per cent of the to- tai deaths. Pamphlets are now being printed in the Malagasy language giv- ing rules of hygiene. It is hoped that the measures which are being taken to improve the health of the population. which now numbers only 2,500,000, will be successful. The governor gen. eral says that in half century the population of Madagascar should be doubtful
