WHERE BATHTUB IS UNKNOWN
Alaskan Town Should Be Close Ap-
proach to Paradise for the Az.
erage Small Boy.

Etah is the most northerly town in
the world. 1t was visited by MacMil-
Jan, the great Arctic explorer, to whom
we owe good deal for the interesting
Information he has given US about the
life of the people in this remote part
Of the earth.
As Is the custom Of the Indian
Bquaw, the Eskimo mother OF Etah
carries her baby on her back, and
often she has 1t here while she is at
tending to her household duties. Pos
slbly the youngster on the back Of the
cheerful-lOoklhg Eskimo mother has
never gone through the process of tax
ing a bath, for we are told that the
Esdmos have a superstition to the eff
feet that 1t makes babies cross to-
bathe them. Explorers tell of babies
several months old that have never
been touched by soap and water.

SKIRTS DROPPED TO ANKLES
New Type of Garment Said to Be Ac-
cepted With More Than Usual
Enthusiasm.

The skirts of suits are both narrow
and short, and the women who ap-
peared on the street In them without
leggings or high shoes created some
unpleasant criticism.
But Just when we are accepting with
enthusiasm this continued style Of
short and narrow garments, notes a
fashion critic, the prophets say that
the real French skirts are growing
longer. And the smart American de-
slgners say the same. They are max
ing the garments slim. without using
an inch of surplus material, but they
are dropping them to the ankles, omit
ting the legglngs and the high boots,
and coming back to the fat-heeled
pumps with broad ribbon bows across
the vamp.
Three or -FOUR Of the best houses EN-
phaslze thsss skirts, and those who
are tired Of the breyity of the skirts
we nave worn for years are accepting
this new type Of garment with more

curfew Hats.

London and Paris have designed
curfew hats and America will soon
make use Of the name and the de-
signs. 1t would not be amlss for us to
keep our own picturesque Puritan
fashions of New England. We know as
much Of the curfew as Great Britain,
and more than Paris. We do not have
the signal for flights out" In this
country, but we can go in for curfew
clothes just the same. The pointed
hat, the squaretoed shoes with the
silver buckle and the long, ripping
capes fit In with the silhouette of the
hour.

Separate Outside Garment Has
Recognized Advantages.
Waietcoat, Cuirass and Ornamental
BIouses Are Among the Styles
for Various Tastes.

1here are still women who wear sep
arate skirts and blouses without pre-
tense that the two belong to each
other.
There are still women who wear coat
suits with white or colored blouses
that end at the waistIine and are
Joined to the skirt under leather belt
or one Of the material.
1t may be that this fashion will
never die out, but the impulse toward
medeyallsm in dress has continually
acted against the division of the cos.
tune at the waistllne by the joining
together of two cOlOrs.
The students of dress and those who
are In the higher strata of dressmak-
ing, asserts correspondent, have OBJ
served this medlevalism for the last
three years. They have preached Il to
women whose eyes did not see it, but
sometimes the seeds of reform have
fallen on stony ground.
Women of middle age, who have
gradually developed a thlckened waist
line, are the ones who insist most upon
the separate blouse which ends at the
waist, and this is as 1t should not be.
They are the ones who beyond cavil
should cling to medieyalism in their
clothes and wear the tunlc, the skirt,
the blouse that reaches to the hips.
The small waist is taboo, and since
1t Is 50, women should accept the fact
that the straight figure needs straight
line of clothing. They apologize for
their inartistlc manner Of dressing by
saying that white shirtwaist is so
comfortable. But why should its COM
fort be greater when 1t Is cut of at the
waist than when 1t Is allowed to hang
outside the skirt?
IF jury had to decide on this ques-
tlon there would be no dissenting
voice. The artists Of the world have
always pleaded that thick-waisted
women wear the kind of clothes that
lengthen the line from the shoulder in
stead of shortening it and cutting the
figure in two, as though 1t were piece
Of broken sculpture that had been
badly put together.
From the appearance Of clothes this
season it looks as though women are
actually beginning to see the advan-
tages Of the separate outside blouse.
1t is sold by the shops, it is made by
dressmakers and 1t is worn by women
who have heretofore never allowed
their thoughts to wander outside Of the
conventional blouse tucked in at the
waistllne and finished with a belt.
There are walstcoat blouses to 90
under suits which give a straight line
from the collar bone down; there are
cuirass blouses that stretch from
shoulder to hip In an attenuated line,
with long, tight sleeves and roll-Over
collars; there are ornamental separate
blOuses, for young girls or those who
have slim figures, which are cut In the
shape Of a peasants blouse and light
ly girdled at the waist.

STITCHING YOUR SPORT HAT
Narrow or Broad Brims viii Respond
MagnifieentIy to the Treatment
Prescribed.

1t may have narrow brim, or II
may have quite a broad brlm; but In
either case 1t is sure to respond mag
nifcently to this treatment.
OF course, you know how to blanket
stitch, notes a correspondent. Should
you not recognize 1t by that name,
buttonhole stitch may make It clear
er to you. Well, that's what you're
supposed to do to the brim of your
hat. Do 1t with mercerized cotton,
preferably in a strongly contrasting
color. Then make your vertical
stitches long and short, alternating,

Moths do not like benzine or gaso-
line and will avoid coming into contact
with them So wise thing to do is
to spray your upholstered furniture
with either, using a small atOmlzer. If
the color has already been removed by
the salt 1t is impossible to bring It
back and redyelng is the only solution.
You cannot restore the color by either
ammonia or chloroform. These will
only result in removing more of the
color.

FREED OF ORDER
DR.. Roger Says That Epidemic
Is Gradually Passing From
Pennsylvania Counties

The statewide closing order effect
ing theaters, moving pictures, pub
lie gatherings and the sale of alco-
holic beverages was lifted last night
in seven more counties by DR.. b.
Franklin Roger. Acting Commission
err of Health. after he had made a
careful study of mortality reports
from these centers received during
the day. The counties effected are
Lackawanna. with the exception of
the borough Of Old Forge, Fayette.
Armstrong, Elk with the exception
of Dagus Mines and Kersy. Luzerne,
Washington and Montour counties.
The date for lifting the ban in all
these counties is Saturday. November
9Th at twelve noon.
Word was received at the office of
the department that information has
been filed against thirty-seven viola
tors of the closing order in Pitts
burgh. Practically no saloons were
found open in violation of he clos
ing order in Pittsburgh. In n case
where a saloon has persistently vio-
lated the closing order an applica-
ton will be made for revocation of
the license.
According to reports received at
the department the epidemic is wan
ing in many counties which have
heretofore been slow to show i'm
provement but the situation is still
bad in certain sections. Reports
from the city of Erie indicate an in
creased number of new cases and a
greater number of deaths. The sit
uation appears so serious that DR..
b. Franklin Roger. Acting Commits
sion of Health. advised the Erie
health authorities to continue the
closing ban in that city for a few
days longer. An announcement was
made lifting the closing ban through
out the whole of Erie county on Fri
day, November S but this order has
been r~escinded in so far as the city
of Erie is concerned. The borough
of antrim. Tioga county reports a
serious outbreak of influenza and o
shortage of doctors and nurses. a
number of physicians from Corning,
New York went to Antrim temporar-
lily.
The total number of deaths from
influenza and pneumonia for the
t~wenty-four period up to l p. m.
yesterday was 1876 and the total
number of deaths from these diseases
since October l, is S4,IS6.
