 In a few weeks the gamble will be
 on. Hundreds of women act in the
 buying of clothes somewhat after the
 manner that governed the lottery of
 our national conscription. They
 blindfold the eyes, put the hand into

 draw out a number.
 When these new frocks and hats and wraps arrive on this side of the water, they come fresh from the salons of the French women who nave little knowledge of American types or their environment or pleas ures or pursuits. Not over a half dozen of these workers can think in

 knowledge of current events.
 FROM HISTORIC EPISODES When the ships that dodge the 1 man made sharks of the sea bring tt us these cases of silks, brocades l metals. embroideries and velvets fashioned for the American woman we will see that these clothes are the | heirs to all the ages. China will dom- mate some bits of costumery, the in fluence of Napoleon will be there, the Russian CossackS who threw them selves before the retreating Eleventh regiment in Galicia will be anothe, motive for certain cut and color and the recent exhibition of French clothes in Madrid is reflected in the things that were brought out ot Spain.
 Not only will different countries be represented in the medley of cos. tumery that is coming to us, but vari- ous epochs in the history of places especially of France--the first em- pire, the consulate, the swirling ant transparent draperies made famous
 by Mme. Tallien, the Queen of Shreds
 and Patches, as she was nicknamed
 the biblike panels of embroidery
 worn by the Queen of Rumania wher
 she arrayed herself in the native cos
 tunes.
 The polonaise will be revived from
 that day when the predecessor ol Rose Berttin, who gowned Marie An
 toinette. made fashionable the strik- ing garment worn by the Polish prin
 cess. Marie. whom Louis XIV made
 Queen of France. Those Chinese
 wraps and sleeves and tassels worn by the noblemen who represented Picking as the first embassy sent from China to France are recalled into the new fashions because China is with France and is fighting. as she fought to be a republic. Mme Pompadour who insisted that LaTour paint her with the Chinese porcelains brought to the King of France by the celes tials as a background made 'Chinoisie' the fashion.
 The green coque feathers Haunting from new hats have been borrowed from the hats of the sharpshooters the bersaglieri of Italy, because the fighters of the Vosges and the Alpine passes have a comradeship. The rak- ish continental hat was included in the fashions because the land of that George Washington whom General Lafayette came to assist is spreadins her soldiers over the pleasant valleys of the sister republic and sending her huge guns to protect the Road of Ladies as all gentlemen. good and true should do.
 The pinched-in crown and the rol- licking brim have been included Tn the most fashionable hats because these soldiers have been smiled al and, some say, kissed by the mid

What to Use and Avoid
 On Faces That Perspire

Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It also must perspire-must expel, through the pores, it's share of the bodys waste material. Certain creams and powders clog the pores. interfering both with elimination and breathing, especially during the heated period If more wom- en understood this. there would be fewer self-ruined complexions. If they would use ordinary mercolized wax they would have healthy complexions This remarkable substance actually absorbs bad skin. also unclogging the pores. Result The fresher, younger underskin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. The exquisite new com plexion gradually peeps out one free from any appearance of artificiality Obtain an ounce of mercolized wax from your druggist and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream for week or two. washing it off mornings
 To remove wrinkles. here's a mar velously effective treatment. which also acts naturally and harmlessly: Dis solve an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel and use as a wash lotion.

Even the staff officers were fighting in the line by this time. for 1t was early in the spring after a black winter. So Panta Grouitch caught up the military telephone and talked from the table to his staff in the trenches. They were cheery, the men in thise reeking ditches, under the beating rain of a Macedonian night. Some of their great voices so roared through the telephone that we who sat at the table could catch the words. Others were not able to leave their watch

 The fall of the year is the safest time to handle poison Ivy, because at that time the sap and pollen are out of the plant With the exercise of due care, the use of overalls and gauntleted gloves will enable most individuals to deal with the plant without danger. A further pro- lection is to grease the hands with lard and after the plants have been handled to wash off the hands with strong aka line soap.

 The American woman should do that so she may buy wisely and well-Let her study her own style through the history of clothing and through art in order that her individu- ality may be shown. Paris leads the way into history for the choice of the new fashions.

A N English paper has recently AA published an article dealing S S with the attempt and failure be independent of Paris and congrat- ulates us on our good sense, as it were. in returning to the source.
 In truth, there was not serious or concerted attempt to be independent of Paris. It was only natural that the American people should feel that the outbreak of the war in France would stop all the wheels of her commerce in clothes and that the other coun- tries would be compelled to go on their own,
 It would take us century to ac- complish what we now buy from Paris in week. We are too canny to give up the best source of fashion on the planet for no reason whatever. If we had to depend on our own creations for the commerce in clothes, three quarters of the firms engaged in this industry would fail within two years.
 It is happy piece of news to re- port in support of this outlined senti- ment that the shipments of costumes from France which will take place on or about August 25 will be as heavy as in normal times The number of buyers who have gone abroad has been reduced, on account of volunteering, conscription and changes, therefore, in the personnel of many business houses but the resident buyers and the inn rortant representatives for groups of
 ses have been able to transact the ea cted business.
 HERE AMERICA COMES IN
 So much for Paris. But, with all important task on American women Never before in the history of com merce in clothes has this especial de- mand been made upon them. It IS this: they must work out their own salvation. Our heads of shops and dressmaking houses are far from be- ing aids to the dumb. They must sell what they have bought and made and they have rarely studied the needs of the individual.
 The buyers who went to Paris in other QayS haunted the fashionable places where the women of pleasure and power foregathered. These wom- en made and marred the fashions put out by the designers When our buy CTS saw that these leaders were fea- turing certain fashions they brought them home for the American.
 But, and this Is the new situation. the women here are now confronted with the fact that thousands of new costumes will soon be unpacked from the boxes that brought them over the ocean and as they were chosen from whatever the French houses had to offer. it will be our part to select from that Heterogeneous mass that which brings out our special type and suits our environment This Is sane and sensible wartime adjustment of ones times and income and possibly the lesson may be 50 thoroughly learned and digested that 1t will provo to be a lasting benefit to the national community.

It Is not a waste of time to be fully aware of the kind of costumery that you should adopt. The comprehensive adjustment between your type and your clothing will save money, nerves and regrets. Don't be so foolish as to say anything will do in these warning

PARENT-TEACHER CORN FIR

In the February issue Of the Child.
Welfare Magazine we find sn article en-.
titled "Are You Interested in School
Hygiene and Health Instruction" /" writ
ten by VIM. B. Aspinwall, Principal OF
the State Normal School at Worchester,
Massachusetts,, from which we quote the
following
II am convinced that health nstruc.
ton deserves more prominent place in
the elementary school course than it now
enjoys, for it deals with fundamental
principles and practices which are so
vital that without an appreciation of
their importance all other forms of edu-
cation are in some manner restricted
While in the midst of giving serious
thought to the matter have frequently
put myself such typ!ca! questions as
these: What has education to do with
sanitation and public health? What is

ing matters to consider and have found
them worthy of my best and most seri-
Gus attention. As a conclusion of my
reflections | am pretty well satisfied as
to the answers that must be given to
them and | am not very doubtful as to
some of the most urgent things that
ought to be done in order to accomplish
the desired ends.
But have wondered if other people
in any number were as interested as
have been in this field of education and
training and if especially the leaders in
instruction and educational administra-
ton were thinking along these lines and
working to bring to pass better sanitary
conditions in the school. l have sought
opinions that have been expressed pub
licly as to the value and necessity of
greater efficiency in health work and
have been immensely gratified to find

influences for better things. 1t is ap-
parent that most powerful forces toward
building up and spreading wide an en-.
lightened and inspired public opinion in
behalf of safeguarding the children's
health are already at work and are fast
impressing both teachers and parents
with the vital importance of this phase
Of the child's education and training
both in the school and at home"
Professor Aspinwall found the answers
to his questions SO convincing that he
selected a few of the most inspiring
which he included in his article, and
these we will give to you at our March
meeting. If you are interested watch
for the date of that meeting and come
prepared to discuss with us this very
important subject. 1t bears upon the
welfare of our children and We are all
agreed that we desire for them the best
that can be had in the way of education

where the settlers have been seriously
handicapped for want of capital to de-

physical strength and ambition. These
they capitalized TO the limit and without
some aid of financial nature, many,
after enduring the hardships and priva-
