first half opened full of ginger and both sides fought nearly five minutes before a point was made A foul by the freshmen gave the sophomores a free try for the basket, which smith made good for his class With this little encouragement the sophomores started in for speedy time and West made four pretty baskets in less than two minutes of play. A little later Smith and Denison pulled off some of the neatest pass work of the game, the latter shooting true for two more points. The freshmen appeared a lit tie downhearted at this moment, but nevertheless the never say die' spirit was still in their veins. They fought with courage the rest of the half and held their opponents to only two more baskets, these made by Smith. The half ended with the sophomores in the safe lead of 15-2.
 The second half opened up with re- newed courage on the part of the freshmen Collonan started out with blood in his eyes and after working hard for the ball made a fine basket from nearly the center of the hall. The freshman team did not stop here but took sudden spurt and began playing rings around the sophomores for sev- l eral minutes. Jouret and Collonan con- tinually brought the ball down the court, taking several shots each time. Their shooting eye was little off, but Jouret nevertheless added two more points for his class. Barnier was not at all satisfied in watching his team men making all the points, so he stepped up a moment later and shot | the ball for two more points. It began to look as though the sophomores
 would lose the game at that, when all of sudden the fireworks stopped The
 sophomores began to wake up and
 started in scoring again. After sev-
 eral tries by members of the sopho-

The weather prophets and the fash ion prophets do not go through life hand-in- hand There is no cordiality between them, it would seem judging from the way in which they oppose each other.
 You may have noticed this situation in some sight measure, as an observer on the sideHnes, caring more about the state of the weather than the state of fashions; but those who must deal with the latter as a daily issue, and must try to coneorn the output of fashions with the output of the sky, deplore the separation
 If a fashion reporter wants to con- tinually write of piquant contrasts, the antagonism of fashion to the weather makes continuous volley of stories; but one becomes tired of piquancy in human nature as well as in literature, WEATHER DOES NOT GOVERN
 FASHION
 Are the women and men designers to blame for the steady practice of in troducing the wrong things at the wrong time in the realm of clothes! Does the public like to wear immense capes, furs and serge gowns in sum- mer? Does it like chiffon sleeves in winter; high tennis boots when the thermometer is go, and paper-soled patent-leather slippers when the ther- mometer is zero? Do the women do these things with a touch of malice, as a bit of bravado, or do the designers like bell-wethers, lead the way, sure that all the foolish little sheep will tun- ble over ditches and hurdles in their effort to follow?
 It is hard to answer such questions. They have been hurled at the head of women and dressmallers since the first fig-leaf came into fashion. There has never been time, as far back as we can glimpse through the centuries, when women and their dressmakers were aot doing capricious things in clothes. We of the moment feel in so passionate way that it is difficult to argue that everything that hap pens now is new. vital and tremendous The latter two forces are present in every epoch no matter what happens, but nothing is new

matism, we would expect to face a very
 complex problem, but when we bring
 the whole subject down to the rules which should govern our daily lives, we shall find the situatio not as com plicated as was feared. We are aware of the fact that the medical profession is changing it's views as to the ecid condition of the blood acting as the cause of the attack, especially in the acute form of the disease; but that does
 not do away with the fact that in all cases of acute rheumatism the blood and tissues involved are always loaded with acids, and immediately resort is made to alkalies and baths for the re-
 lief of the system and the cure of tho patient. While the bacillus may be nec- essary for the occurrence of the at tack, yet it is a question whether the disease could or would occur when the blood was not thus loaded with acids. Therefore, in order to prevent attacks of acute rheumatism, do not allow the system to become loaded with acid ac- cumulations; and the same rule holds good in relation to the other varieties of this disease. The same careless method of living which leads to anti intoxication and indigestion will natur- ally tend to attacks of rheumatism of one form or another. The thing to do is to see to it that the secretions and excretions of the body are kept in ac- tive service. through the use of proper articles of diet, the thorough masti- cation of the food, and the ample sup ply of liquids, such as water, milk and the mild fruit acids, avoiding such ar tieles as tomatoes, strawberries, and especially grapefruit, as we'll as any extremely sour fruits. At the same time remember that mild lemonade, or anges and other mild fruit acids be- come alkaline through the processes of digestion and thus tend to pre-
 vent the acid condition of the system,
 which might lead to the occurrence of
 Rheumatism.

in a careless manner, and lined with Ro- man striped silk or with crepe de chine in a blazing color.
 There are pointed, bell-shaped sleeves which hang loose from a wide armhole. gayly faced at the lower edge, but held taut by a tight folded wristiet that spreads over the hand after the manner made fashionable by the early queens of France
 There is the skin-tight sleeve of the Dfrectoire, which also flares over the ! hand and sometimes has an ornate thumb-hole through which that finger is thrust
 There are sleeves for the street that are formed of wrinkled cloth, that reach from the knuckles of the hand to flare like gauntlet well above the el- bow. leaving just enough space between the edge and the shoulder to show the cap sleeve of another color and fabric.
 SMART CAFES MAKE GOOD
 BACKGROUND
 Is there any woman who has gone her way in this world, even with her mind intent on other things than dress, with out being alive to the picturesquenes of the modern cape? It is the background against which the pencil silhouette of the day is outlined. It is SD voluminous, and the woman in her new clothes is so frail and slender that she appears to be a shadow cast against some brilliant stage background, or column against velvet curtains.
 Once it was thought that few women could carry off a cape with the spirit it demanded. It is a most picturesque gar ment. No one can doubt this who has noticed the hundreds of glances turned toward the figures of the tall young 1tal- ian aviators in their long. sweeping capes with one end thrown over the left shoulder. All other uniforms pass with merely ripple of interest, but the Ital- ians step into the middle of the lime light, and the Americans have no hesi-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-05-12

tancy in according to them those smiling, approving glances that we always give to the human being who contrives to look like an agreeable picture.
 There are as many capes as sleeves this season. Even if you are indif- ferent to new clothes you cannot es- cape these two features. There is no reason for your wanting to avoid them, for they cut many Gordian knot. The cape covers much the new sleeve redeems much.
 The top coat is only admissible to- day when it is a double first cousin to the cape. If it ripples from the shoul- der, if its sleeves seem to be a part of that ripple, and if it's fastening down the front is negligible, then the top coat is admitted into the society of the best clothes. Otherwise, it must be barred.
 The cape rules the hour. It gives every woman with an attenuated cos tune made according to the request of the government, a chance to take to herself the grace of a butterfly. She disguises the lack of material in her frock by ripping out her cape and looking like some winged summer creature that has right to the beauty and joy of life.
 No woman should try to escape the cape. If she is stout she must ar range her garment in some way that will allow her to get this background of color and grace.
 There are severe capes and gay capes. ornate capes and simple ones. It is not necessary to make one choice. Even women of small means seem to be able to possess two or three capes for different occasions. They are of chiffon edged with fur for the after noon and for summer evenings; they are of gabardine severely stitched, for the street at II in the morning; they
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-05-12

are of dark blue silk serge lined with artillery red or Chinese yellow, for the country and for country clubs.
 CAFES FLOAT FROM
 WAISTCOATS
 The designer who combined the waistcoat with the cape offered a choice morsel in costumery. The one gives the other grace and solidity. The waistcoat keeps the cape from f1y- ing in the face of the public, and it protects the chest and back from whatever chill winds may blow. And. further in this day of conservation of clothes as well as material. it gives one a chance to go without a blouse.
 There are waistcoats that are noth-. ing but corselets; sleeveless ones, to which are attached short or long flow- ing capes. These garments go on as a bodice.
 There are other capes that substiA ute for the waistcoat and immense collar that is cut in two broad ends, which cross the bust go under the edges of the cape and circle around the waist as a girdle, looping over each other in front
 The woman who is on economy bent, and who feels that she prefers to put whatever money she has into war re- lief work rather than into new clothes, can bolster up her feeling of fash- ionable security by indulging in a pair. of new sleeves. together with cape and waistcoat, attached or separate
 Ingenuity is rampant today. A wo- man need not look dowdy because she will not spend money for new gowns The whole world has opened to her an opportunity for pleasing spring cos- tumery through the exercise of mental acrobatics.

broad, square jet buckle. The aperture in the hem of the skirt is another trick for which Erte, the artist, is famous There are sleeves in evening gowns which subscribe to the fashion for the six-ineh cap at the shoulder, but they orientalize the effect by dropping two full streamers of tulle lace or crystal galloon mounted on tulle from the back of this cape to the wrist, where they are caught with tight bracelet.

| complex and stimulating minor details. | However this does not contribute to 1 the pleasure a woman thinks she VIII | find in wearing her old clothes. we are wise enough to know that it is 1 in the adoption of changing details that the majority of women show their knowledge of fashions. A woman may continue to wear a blue serge gown cut | in the form of coat and skirt, if she realizes that she must instantly adapt l that gown to the tight or the loose cuff, l the high or the low waistline, the gather 1 or the plain hip. somersalt in CO.'S l tumery is not always followed, even 1 by well-dressed women, but there are none so poor in interest but they will | do honor to a quick change in the minor detail of a costume.
 A million women wear sailor collars when they come into fashion, although they may attach them to a gown that has the wrong line in certain places. These million women drop sailor col lars when they go out of fashion and take up the long, rolling Tuxedo collar when it becomes the dominant feature. Therefore, when sleeves change wo- men change with them. Whatever else
 the costume reflects that is wrong or right, good or bad, it nearly always keeps pace with the change in the arm covering and in the neckline.
 Tn summing up the situation of to- day, one feels sorry for the woman who
 would try to keep up with the shifting
 ,1n sgners have turned upon us.
 However, comforting solution of this
 startling situation is that every sleeve
 becomes paralyzed from even regard
 ing the overproduction of new spring sleeves, she can merely go on with the
 sleeves she has and feel that she is in
 psrt of the picture, if not in the forepart
 of it.
 THE SLEEVES OF ARTISTS
 It is not amiss in the story of to- days fashions to dwell at length upon sleeves, because everyone else is doing it. The dressmakers, the designers the students at museums and even the artists are promoting new sleeves These arm
 coverings redeem an old gown; they pT1SHtcIt up du uiipSSohiiliS llOShi ana they give one1a a sense of security when adapted to costume that is other wise good. Women search the illustra- tions of the day, the shops and the stim- ulating atmosphere of the footlghts to find hundred new tricks.
 Possibly the best gown at Palm Beach in February, at least the one that caused the most talk, owed a bit of it's sensation alism to pair of sleeves that were taken from an Erte drawing. The arms were covered from shoulder to thumb with serpent-like band of jet and crystal pas sementerie, which wound itself round and round at increasing intervals until a loop of it was held over the thumb. The skirt of this white satin frock, by the way, had one pear-shaped opening in front, through which the foot was thrust with it's white satin slipper and
