 None but the slim, the piquante, and the utterly feminine woman can adopt three bounces on the skirt, their widely extended hip line, the fullness at the hem, and the flat bodice with it's nar- row girdle pulling in the waistline.

 It is for this reason that the middle aged woman, the large Anglo-Saxon type, and the stout French type can not be dressed by Peanne Lanvin. Her clothes are wonderful. her taste is im- peccable and the American markets will be flooded with originals and copies of her new gowns, but they must be worn by selected figures.
 These will be of opposite types. for the boyish, virile figure is not the frag- tle. feminine figure. The result of all this diversity in the pannier, how ever, is to accent and widen the hip line in the majority of frocks. Things are not they were.

THE HOUSEHOLD
WANTED-A LADY COOK

There are all sorts of devices that may be used more or less successfully to
 persuade folk to work for you who
 otherwise might work for some one else
 in some other capacity, and many are
 the devices thaFhave been tried in this and of course to camoulflage what il plain English is domestic service Cir for general housework'' was what you usually called the individual you em. ployed to cook. wash, iron, answer the door bell, wear a cap and apron when you had guests for dinner. stoke your furnace and mind" the children when you had gone away. But now when you respectfully refer to her in the advertis- ing columns of the paper when you seek to bocl<en her to you as working house. keeper or young woman wanted to as-
 sist with light housekeeping; no cook

 ton and liberty holidays"'
 But we have not tried the device that seems to be working fairly well in Eng
 land, that is to advertise for lady
 cooks" Now to us the attempt to adver-
 tise for lady cook" would simply be
 an appeal to the conviction on the part of those who might be employed as cooks
 that they are perfect ladies' or at least
 quite good ladies as you are. But this
 English appeal is different. It is an appeal to an entirely different sort of
 person from the one who would nave
 been a cook in other days. It is an ad
 mission that there is real shortage
 of servants and that to make up for
 1t those who need household help are
 willing to employ persons not of the
 servant class. Apparently clergy
 mans daughter or doctors daughter
 from the country would be willing to
 serve as your cook or housemaid provid-
 ing you live in London. and by so doing she may have the advantages of a sea-
 son in the big city willing provided only that you regard her as a lady. This does not mean higher wages nor does it mean lighter duties. The difference is
 one that must be almost entirely psychol- ogical.
 So if you glance through the classified advertisements of London paper you will see some such inserts as this: "Wante 1.-Two ladies to do the entire work of modern house. or Lady nurse to take charge of girl 61A." Wanted. two ladies as cook and house -parlor maid . or this: "Wanted. two ladies to help two
 other ladies as one family in well-appoint- ed private house.

 Paris, October Lone must always ex- aggerate thing to draw attention to ii. This is the axiom that has prevailed for centuries in the French dressmak- ing houses.
 It is not always intended that women should accept a new fashion in the ex- act shape in which it is first presented The public must see the thing in exag- gerated dimensions, then it takes notice of it, discusses it. revises and accepts it in it's revised form. Peace treaties and new fashions are not unlike.
 When the dressnaxers here, led by things in a virile, masculine manner, put huge panniers on the hip, supported their traditions. They wanted to at tract the public's attention. They want ed to change the silhouette.
 Callot had tried to do this last Feb ruary by introducing the immense lamp shade skirt that was worn by fashion able Europe in the seventeenth century when Spain created the fashions for the world. The Callot skirt was consid- cred fantasy. It was regarded with in- terest, then discarded. It created a rip pie of excitement among fashion writers and a certain set of designers, and Amer ica thought 1t was dead in April.
 It was not dead. It had been revised for the smart French women and when American observers arrived here in June the women who lead fashion were wear ing modified models of these skirts at the dances and dinners that fairly stepped on each others heels they came so fast. When the silhouette was launched in the new collections it was not new to the Parisienne The immense crino- line bustles on the hips startled the Americans for they had seen only one or two of these skirts in the United States and they were worn by dancers. To have the hips windened to six and F inches and to have them made stiff and heavy by erinoline was an astonishing fashion change to the buyers.
 They refused to accept this original method of using panniers. They looked upon the gowns as something fantastic. pictorial, but not practical They have seen, however, so many of these gowns and such widespread revision of the original silhouette that they are con- vinced of decided change in the sil- houette They realize that the chemise frock is not to follow it's old lines; the one-piece gown is prevalent, but it is belted at the waist and it has fullness down each side
 It is not quite right to say that the chemise fnock is dead, although that was the belief at the beginning of the season, but the fact that Lanvin ac- centuates it in new Italian manner, and that Doucet repeats it in splendid

 BAD TAXI: SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have been eating too much meat, which
 forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels otren get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. m
