ELEPHANT WHISPERS
 FOR TRIMMING HATS

ed about what is worn in Paris or New York.
 little of it-no animals whiskers, nc birds tail and no mans pocketbook are sacred from the fingers of fash~
 Always Something New.
 To import aigrettes into the United States became a crime some time ago. There has been, and still is, much discussion about the wearing of baby lamb. But new seasons bring new whims to discuss, and meanwhile, troubles during the discussion. Leop afd skin coats have become an old story. The lowly skunk is not only vastly becoming to a fair face, but vastly expensive. Mongolia's goat fur entered the lists of fashion last year.
 'Slynx'' is the seasons newest skin, and we are told it comes from very pretty South American sheep, whose blond ringlets, similar to as trakhan, will collar and cuff many a creation of the approaching Winter.
 From the baboon the style markets are furnished with monkey fur, that glossy black fine-spun hair, that is and will continue to be popular as a trimming.
 Goa feathers have during the past their always becoming one of hat trimming. Handbags, particularly evening bags, are made of these shiny bott1e-green feathers.
 In Paris evening slippers made of tiny irrid escent feathers have been l worn. But that is fashion that could hardly become very popular, since the exigencies of the modern dance would interfere. It seems as if no animal was safe. except a one-eyed batt1e-scared- city cat, and if elephants whiskers be- come the rage what will happen tC l the law of supply and demand? Can it be that this choosing whis- kers from the emblem of the G. o. P I is subtle propaganda? Since women has the vote may she not express her opinions in any way she desires, even though it be on hel I bonnet?
 Perhaps since *'Milady' is prepar- l ing to throw her hat in the ring she l wishes no doubt as to her choice o1 candidates.

HEALTH MEASURES
 URGED BY Y. w. c. A,

Constructive health programs for girls and women, including physical examinations, individual exercises de- termined by individual needs, new attitude toward health, prevention of illness rather than correction of ills. healthful thinking, and other new en. phases, are being tried out this fall by the Y. W. c. A. Physical Educa- ton Departments in many cities. Six women from the Social Education Division of the National Board of the Y. w. c. A. in New York City, three of them physicians and the other three physical directors, are to visit cities and towns requesting their ser vices to demonstrate possibilities by a ''Health Week." In each place they work in cooperation with the staff and directors of the local Y. w. c. A. giving health talks to groups or au- diences of girls, giving both physical and medical examinations, advising as to proper habits of living for peo- pie in various lines of work, urging wholesome recreation as a health pro- ducer and featuring on sensible shoes and correct posture. In similar trips last year they found that they could not handle all the girls who came for examinations. The emphasis of the whole movement is that women should look upon good health as necessity and not to expect to be anything but one hundred per cent well.

 New York, Oct. 9-Sparrows* and cats, although among the plainer and more simply dressed members of the animal Kingdom: and although a ex, bird and beast, yet form a Last Laugh Club in order to gloat over their more conspicuous and more gally colored brethren.
 Modern efforts to c1othe and dec crate women in something always new the lush grasses of the tropics to the frosty heights of Thibet, and have caused stout lion hearts to quake in the depths of African jungles. Not of the chase have caused such shiv- ering of fur and feathers as those in- dustrious emissaries Of that ruthless, devastating and fascinating person age tenderly referred to in all good fashion magazines as "Milady.'
 ''Milady," once content to stay the leopard, kill the baby lamb and tear aigrettes from a tiny heron's head, is now stalking bigger game.
 What Elephants Think
 Elephants whiskers will adorn her new Winter hat
 Now, what one elephant Of our ac- quaintance thinks about all this could not be learned, since he denied him. self recently to the interviewer, and expressed an enormous contempt fol the publicity brought upon his royal house by this latest caprice of fash ion. He did, however, yawn, widely displaying his coveted whiskers, and numbered off in a sort of chase-me- 'm-going-the-other way man. ner.
 Authority for this edict of the mode may be found in a recent num- Der of a. well known gazette of fash ion in which only the true expression of style is to be found. A pretty gir, is pictured in neat and knowing bonnet, apparently trimmed in g1y- cerined ostrich feathers. But we are assured that the spiral-cur1ed thread-1ike establishment is none other than the stiff and venerable beard of beast held sacred in Q country which is not much concern

 As for Grace. if mother hasn't so trained her that at g she can be trusted to go about with her men friends, there is something rafically wrong with mothers way of manag- ing, and her chaperonage won't do any good, anyhow.
 ''The ''chaperone business can be overdone. But it can't be done away with. Youth has right to the pro- lection and wisdom age has accunu- lated on it's trip through the world. But it must not be so overburdened that it can't pick up and carry any experience of it's own.
