TTERPES, or cold sore, occurs upon the
i l. lower part of the face, about the
mouth, cheek or chin. The patient first
feels stinging, burning sensation or Itch
ing At the same time n group of little
pinhead-sizea blisters form. These are
filled with clear yellowish fluid. and they
are surrounded by redden4d area Of
skin or mucous membrane. Herpes may
comes upon the lips, or upon the eyelids.
There may be one patch or several,
and sometimes n large area of skin Is
covered with herpetic eruption, After a
few days the little blisters dry up into
crust which soon falls off and leaves
red spot that disappears after several
more days.
Upon the lips and eyelids when mucous
membrane is involved, the crust is apt to
leave a superficial ulcer which is very
painful and irritable.
Something like a thousand readers have
asked us to tell what is the cause OF
herpes, and in our sldfu way we have
evaded the issue by springing Latin or
medical terms to cover our stupendOus ig-
norance. Unfortunately the authorities,
who generally serve us in good stead
when we are thus pinned down, have
nothing to offer in the way of causes of
herpes so we shall have to give our own
little theoretical conception. and let 1t go
at that.
Herpes or cold sore" or "fever blister"
thenAthe oracle now speaks-is a reflex
signal thrown up by the system to indi-
cate, dumbly, that something has gone
wrong inside. Herpes on the face Is
almost classical symptom of pneumonia.
Herpes on the cheek recurs again and
again in certain children whenever tooth
becomes carious, and only careful attention
by the dentist will clear up the frequent
and annoying attacks of herpes.
Herpes on the lip is a common incident
OF an acute cOryza or tracheitis.
Some people have an attack of herpes
whenever they indulge in overeating.
A good many women have about Is at
tacks of herpes annually
The treatment is simple. The lesion
will clear up rapidly If left TO itself A
small spot on the skin may be protected
with collodion, or painted with compound
tincture of benzoin. or gently smeared
with zinc oxide ointment. Touching herpes
on the lip frequently with spirits Of cam
phor dries 1t up.

Sports Hats

There is no more room for novelty in
sports hats. Every possible idea has been
exhausted. There are all kinds OF hats,
and no two Of them are alike.
Take, for instance, the Japanese sports
hat. II is made of split lemonade straw,
with Jap scene painted on the brim.
The odd part Of IL is that the pieces Of
the straw are set slightly apart, radlating
from the crown like the spokes of wheel.
Then there are the tennis hats. You
can't miss the fact that they are designed
for tennis, for the front of the large shady
brim is decorated with two crossed tennis
racketsi
Wool, beads and silk are used for en-
broldering the other styles. Birds are a
favorite ornamentation, parrots in self
colorings are very smart. Scenes, too,
are carried out In the most primitive way
houses, churches, small landscapes and
such things are limned in bright colors to
match milady's blazer.

Enameled Kitchen Stoves

II read in your Corner daily, but this
is my first request for information. 1 am

that the enamel will crack from the heat.

In Kitchen but all kitchens are not open
to me. venture to beg that you will not
purchase one until you consult house
wives who have used enameled ranges or
who know of their use in the homes IF
trustworthy witnesses. They may be an
nealed against cracking. Judging from
the care one has to observe in baking in

ARE you one of those odd little women
n who stoutly declare that they hate
formality and then the very next week
entertain conventional dinner party2 OF
course. you may not have formal dinner
very often-but when you do give one you
are exceedingly anxious that It comes up
to the canons OF the most elite.
You confussdIy ask yourself. ''How
should the places be laidf Should the
lobster fork go at the left or at the right
OF the plate? Which is the proper way
10 serve the meat, have 1t carved at the
table or placed on the individual plates
and served from the kitchenf"
There are definite. invariable rules made
for formal occasions which answer all
these questions, and to make everything
so smoothly at your dinner you need
only to carefully follow them
A table is always laid In one OF two
ways.
First. For serving food from the table.
second. For serving food directly from
the side table or the kitchen.
IN either case the laying OF the table as
far as the individual place" or cover
Is concerned Is the same. The word
cover" or place" includes a plate. tum-
bier. napkin. and the required nat pieces
OF silver arranged In the order needed.
The arrangement Of the silver varies
with the menu. II Is no longer the custom
TO have a large array OF forks and spoons
at each place, since wherever feasible
these are Ilaeed on the plate and brought
in with tho course, The general rules
are:
first Put plate in centre Of each m
diViduals place.
Second Knives are always placed at
the right OF the plate. IN order Of their
use, the one fsrthest from the plate be-
Ing the first used.
Third. The soup spoon Is placed At the
right of the hrst knife. the oyster fork
At the right Of the soup spoon,
Fourth. The tumblsT Is placed AZ the
point Of the knife nearest the plate.
Firth The rule for forks varies. some-
times all are placed At the left Of the
plate. the one farthest from the plate

Linen Vestees

Smart vests of striped linen are worn
with navy tailored suits to good effect
The dts are frequently fashioned on semi
taiis led lines with plain, fitted coats
finished with flaring ruffle from the
raised waist line. The vests make a
charming GROSS between tho severely
plain and the fancy suit. They are made
Of blue -and-white, green-and-whte, and
rose-and-white inch striped goods. Hand
made buttonholes and smoked pearl but
tons are the sole trimming. This by the
way, is a word to the wise when II
comes to a question of refurbishing the
worn suit.
