which is already assuming very consid-
able importance. Either green or dried
.igs are excellent as food, while medici-
nally they are considered most valuable
as laxatives and In kidney and pulmonary
affections. Applied externally they are
extremely healing as in the days of King
HeZekiah, while the leaf of the fig Is
utilized both as yeast product and as
an asthma remedy. Figs are considered
in many countries as the special Palm
Sunday dish. so that the name Fig
Sunday is frequently used instead of
Palm" The practice arose from the
BibIo sNcry of Zaccheus. who climbed into

there are many plays. including the coarse

chiefly for tailored suits and separate

A case parallel to making stubborn
song bird sing is the manner in which
the French clothes artists adapt colors 70

years they had recourse to white stocks
and guimpes Of filmy texture. but when
the peasant styles brought in the seam
less-and one might add shapeless-
shoulder, guimpes were not always prac-
ticable and color blending became a recog-
nized art in dressmaking and tailoring
circles. These people know precisely
which tint Of blue to use with the dull
gray frock designed for an ashen blonde,
tire brown which combines best with the
pink dress ordered by a red-haired wom-
an. and the exact shade of cerise for the
black gown which a sallow brunette
should not have, but insists upon wearing.
The tailored suits sent over from Paris
within the past few weeks show most fas-
cinating combinations of maj erials as
well as colors. A lightweight serge of
indigo blue, trimmed with bands of black
silk, has coat lining, collar and cuffs of
canary satin. three-piece suit of gray
