SEEN IN THE SHOPS

THIS little afternoon gown
Il offers a good practical sug-
gestion for the informal bridge
or luncheon party. The coat
effect is made of navy blue
taffeta with vest, collar and
cuffs of white crepe de chine.
Fullness is given to the rather
narrow blouse by use of a yoke
at the shoulders, corded across.
like the wide armhole. revers,
tabs and stitched belt. The
small buttons are silver fill
gree. The peplum Is quite foil,
adding greatly to the youthful
effect of the whole.
The skirt Is bouffant, being
developed In the rather stiff
taffeta. A panel of very small
plaits at the front gives a
novel appearance, not unlike
a peasant apron. The lines are
simple. The same frock comes
in other colors in sizes from
10 to 16 years at S27.

this costume may be purchased

Dear M'Liss-Can you please tell me
how to clean black leather hand bag
that has been allowed to stand uncovered?
Although it is comparatively new, it pre-
sents a shoddy appearance because the
dust has settled in the crevices of the
leather? TRAVELLER
II the bag is not very gray with dust.
you can probably clean 1t satisfactorily
yourself by first removing the dust with
stiff brush-a scent hand brush Will do
nicely After the dust has been taken out
with the dry brush, molsten it (the brush)
with little gum arabic water and go over
the bag again, briskly and thoroughly.
This ought 10 give 1t a rejuvenated air,
a well-known leather man tells me.
Approximately for about 81, however,
depending on the size of the bag, you can
have 1t dyed and refreshened, brass trim
mings and all. by an expert In this way
good travelling bag can be kept looking
like new for years.

A Clever Stunt

Here is stunt which was told re-
Gently by n clever housekeeper. It seems
that she got for a gift library lamp
with az perfectly hopeless shade of fur
iously colored glass The base was good
so she took a smart wicker waste basket
which she had and lined it with lovely
rose-colored Japanese silk. The basket
was one of those narrow, cylinder-shaped
models. The offending shade was re.
moved and the rose one substituted. And
now it's as pretty as anything in the rose
room where it resides.

HD HEUMATlSM," "sciatica" and that
In worst of all nonentities, "sciatic
rheumatism" are not always what they
seem. Even growing pains" are open to
question, since 1t is hard to see how it can
hurt to grow.
There is a joint between the sacrum
at the base of the spine and the hip bones
on either side. This joint is subject to
strain, sprain and relaxation. Only within
recent years have we learned that many
cases of 'lumbago,'' "sciatica" and
rheumatism of the back" are in reality
cases of strained sacro-iliac joint.
In women more than in men there is a
tendency 10 relaxation of this joint. Es-
pecially during the periods and after
childbirth are the ligaments and supports
of the joint relaxed and subject TO strains
Lifting burdens while in a STOPPING pos
ture. such as ripping up carpet from the
floor, lifting a pan of dough upon a table
jacking up a car and the like would bring
considerable strain on these joints and pos.
sibly cause trouble
The backache of bed-rIdden invallds is
often n sacro-iliac strain, remediable or
preventable by a firm mattress and nom
sagging springs, or by pillow or other
support under the small of the back
The pain OF sacro-iliac joint trouble
may be felt in the joint. in the hip, the
thigh. or even the leg-in others words
at the terminals of the great plexus of
nerves that passes directly over the joint
down the limb.
The pain is apt to be sudden when turn
ing in bed or changing posture. A "crick"

and low down about the hips will relieve.

NeckWear TIPS

The new collars show many interesting
novelties. The high-at-the-bacl1 models
are frequently quite low in front, with a
broad band of black velvet or grosgrain
ribbon encircling the throat. The stock of
black faille or grosgrain is particularly
smart with sports costumes. Cape collars
with edglngs in piped blue. mauve, tan
and flesh-pinll batiste are chic Some very
late models have extremely round or
square collars in the back only.

For Spring Couture

The hair ornament is subordinated to
the superior charms of ones natural coif-
fure nowadays.
For those who like a touch of decora-
ton in the coiffure, there are some very
pretty styles. Fiet bandeaux of brilliants,
velvets. gold and silver cloth are still
favored by the younger generation.
Jet and combinations of jet and brill
liants are good, too.
The newer models for spring are show
ing touches of feathers at either side of
the head. and ribbons are conspicuous.
High styles are favored, particularly the
helmet headdress.

SOME LIGHT ON LUMBAGO,
SCIATICA AND RHEUMATISM
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Slouching in chairs-and a number of
chairs are built in a very sloIcky way
tends to strain the sacro-iliac joint and
cause backache. Standing lop-sided also
helps to bring trouble.
Wearing corsets merely for fashions or
customs sake of course weakens the
muscle and ligamentous support and hence
invites trouble in the joints-that being
one reason why women are more liable
to sacro-iliac strain than men.

Right or Left

Dear Deborah RuSh-Is there any con.
ventonality with regard to removing ones
hat when howing to a lady in the street?
Should one special hand be used? What
is the rule for this? ID. f.. NJ.
Custom has made 1t the proper and
natural thing to remove the hat with the
hand which is farther from the person to
whom you are bowling. If the lady is on
your right as you advance, the hat should
be removed by the left hand, and vice
versa. DEBORAH RUSH.

Hats OFF in Elevators ?

Dear Deborah RuSh-Will you kindly
settle the controversy about hats in ele-
vators? l often see n man remove his
hat in the presence of women in a de-
partment store or office building elevator.
l am of the opinion that the man Is not
only overpolite, but absolutely incorrect.
There is n difference between the ele.
vators in private buildings such as hotels,
and those in public places such as stores
and office buildings.
The man who removes his hat in a
department store elevator should, in my
mind, remove IL the minute he enters the
door of the building If he wishes to
keep in strict accordance with his Ideals.
for the elevator has nothing to do with
It, Years ago II was a strict rule of
etiquette that a man should remove his
hat the minute he entered the door of
n hotel, whether there were women pres
ent or not. OF late. however, this has
been overlooked, with the exception of
the elevator, where every man removes
his hat So far as I know, there has
never been a conventionality requiring a
man to remove his hat In department
store, whether he enters an elevator UT
not. lCONoCLA9l'
There is no rule of etiquette In regard
TO removing the hat in elevators in de-
partment stores or business buildings lt
seems that an elevator is more like room
in itself than the whole large store or
business office, and that may be the rea-
son why some persons hold to removing
their hats in the elevator These things
are left to a gentleman to decide for him
self There is one argument for 1t; that
a woman always appreciates, the cour-
tesy shown her and stamps the man who
removes his hat, a gentleman.
