do not actually widen the figure at all.
The suit is made of dark brown tricO-
tine.
The model ut the left is an interpre-
tation of the Russian blouse suit, al
ways dear to the thin woman. The
plain skirt is shoe-top length. The
coat has full blouse and a skirt
gathered in Mt the natural waist line,
giving fullness about the hips. 1t is
short enough to break the figure and
prettily decorated with round silk
braid cOuched on. In this coat the
chOker collar Is made of Opossum fur
and arranged to fasten up about the
chin. In the other suit, fur Is left out.
but the popular choker collar is re-
tained. made of the fabric and decor
ated with carefully done embroidery.
For the blouse suit, one OF those new
cloths that have a silvery sheen, due
to a mapped surface of gray tone
(Which is used with all colors) looks
particularly well with the gray tones
In the fur collar.
Alas. yes suits are expensive es-
pecially when embroidered. But clever
women have been known to buy plain
suit and put embroidery on 1t them
selves. thereby saving about. $25 and
presenting themselves with an exclu-
sive design.

Data, which need not be cited here in

epidemic in western Europe generally
was similar. In the United States the
epidemic developed more largely in
single wave during September. DC
tOber and November.
The prevalence of serious epidem-
ic of Influenza was first recognized in
and around Boston in September of
1918. Within about two weeks it was
general in the Atlantic seaboard. de-
veloping little later among cities fur
ther west. Rural districts were usu-

SO per 1000; In cities between the
Rocky mountains and the Appalachl-
ans ABS; and in those of the Pacific
Coast 5.55 per 1000.
Concerning the important question
of immunity conferred by an attack
of influenza, the evidence is not con-
elusive, but there Is reason to believe
that an attack during the earlier
stages of the epidemic confers a con-
siderable. but not absolute immunity

File the Finger Nails.

To keep the nails In good condition.
always file them, never use the scis-
sors to cut. Cleanse under the nails
with equal parts of lemon Juice and
water. Use an orange-wood stick ;
also keep the cuticle around the nails
smooth. Polish the nails whenever
necessary.
Nails that break easily must be given

rubbed into the finger tips each night.
Massage well and occasionally give the
fingers bath in hot olive oil.
If 1t is not convenient to use the oil,
vaseline Is good substitute. When
ever doing rough work the fingers
should be protected with gloves. II it
is not comfortable to wear them over
the whole hand. fingers can be cut
from old gloves.
Polish for Nails.
An inexpensive and harmless nail
polish Is made by thoroughly mixing
together a half ounce Of talcum pow
der. half ounce of powdered starch.
haif ounce of puiverized boric acid
and 10 drops of tincture Of carmine.
Do not rub the nails until the sensi-
tive flesh beneath burns. as this causes
them to become dry and brittle.

If There Is Recurrence Il Will Not
Be as Severe as
Last Winter.
NO POSITIVE PREVENTIVE


Probably. but by no means GER
tainly. there will be recurrence
of the Influenza epidemic this
year.
Indications are, that should
1t occur. 1t will not be as severe
as the pandemic of the previous
winter.
City officials, state and city
boards of health, should be pre-
pared in the event of recur-
renee.
The fact that previous at
tack brings immunity In GER
tain percentage of cases should
alIay fear on the part of those
afflicted in the previous epidem-
ic.
Influenza is spread by direct
and indirect contact.
1t is not certain that the germ
has been isolated. or discovered,
and rs II consequence there Is
yet no positive preventive, ex-
cept the enforcement of rigid
. rules of sanitation and the avoid
ance of personal contact.
A close relation between the
Influenza pandemic and the con-
stantly increasing pneumonia
mortality rate prior to the fall
of 1913 is recognized.
II is now believed that the dis
ease wns pretty widely dIssem-
mated throughout the country
before 1t was recognized In its
epidemic state. This failure to
recognize the early cases appears
tn have been largely due to the
fact that every interest was then
conferred on the war.

To say the least, suits for fall have

women who aspire to looking more
slender than they really are. as well rs
those whose aspirations nre all In the

Paris accepted their decree, and this
suit takes advantage Of the mode to go
to an extreme OF 1t. BY this means
the figure Is heightened. The coat fol-
