carried out in boudoir gowns and in
undertakings; the ARREST fabrics, the
most daring color combinations. the

 YORK-MARY GARDEN LEADING THE FIELD

New York, Feb. 16.---If Mare An tony were to get in touch with a good medium he might materialize in the next few months and discover many g. Cleopatra strol1ing about the streets of New York. For Egyptian fashions are about to arrive. Although the asp has not yet put in ah appearance.
 Already some of the new Egyptian gowns and hats have reached New York and are being privately dis played to appreciative connoisseurs. Egyptian gowns and headdresses also are being created in New York altar designs based on fashion notes that have been buried for a thousand years. Hundreds of tiny decorative figures, known as mu1nmy objects, have been brought from abroad for the ornamentation of gowns and hats made after Egyptian designs. Some of these ornaments, beautiful and striking in color and form, are of modern manufacture, copies of the old pieces, but large numbers of gen. uine antiques at least 600 years old, have been brought from abroad and will be used to give the last touch to some beautiful costume.
 Miss Mary Garden may be consid cred the moving spirit introducing the Egyptian costume to the modern woman," said Jules Kurzman, whose firm is much interested in the Ezgyp- tian effects which are now being ere ated in woman's costumes. ''She had several heaiddresses for her Cleopatra production made up at some of the Paris modistes' shops and afterward there appeared decided Egyptian notes in many of the hats.
 t'In Paris the typical Egyptian col ors and designs kept cropping out at the theatres and elsewhere. Finally we decided to make a study of this costume period both in color and de- sign. In Paris, of course, there are many experts in costuming, among them one man who is reHgnizaGd by the French Governent and who is ac- customed to supply the theatres and

 Among the color guides to the Egyptian recrudescence are a string of flat coIored discs---beads, they might be caIIed---in lovely blues, greens and ye11ows. There are other beads also, and many of the tiny an tique figures which were taken to the divers as color guides Most impor- tant of all in this respect were some broken pieces of an antique vase. The vaae ranged in color through pale and vivid blues to the dull but rich shade that is so often. found in the sun baked potters distnterred from old tornbs The manufacturers seized upon these greadiIy, and have been aSie to reproduce many of the colors, so that an Egyptian beauty would feel herself quite at ease if she were to awaken in 9 room piled with these carefully dyad materials.
 Egyptian blue is the dominant color
 note of the new fashions, but in the enJbroideries rich harmony of colors
 is employed. One gown of white gray crepe, the color of white stone when softened and worn by age, was en- broidered very elaborately in the floral
 designs, the lotos predominating. The crepe was used with the dull surface 1 exposed to better give the softened effect required.
 The Egyptian hat, which follows very generally the lines of the clas- sicaI head dress which one sees in some Egyptian designs, is not suited
 to the ingenue, but should be su- perbly becoming to the sophisticated type of woman who has seen about as ! many summers as were credited to
 Cleopatra, somewhere in the neigh borhood of forty.
 Sandals seem to be characteristic of these Egyptian styles, according to MT.

Flu This Year Is MiIder

While we know very little more. about the flu now than we did last year-the germ itself has never been positively identified - still most au- thorities agree that the flu germs are breathed in. If the system is in good shape and the membrane or lining of the air passages is in healthy condi- tion-these germs are thrown off.

 Treat All Colds Promptly.
 Above all, keep free from colds, as. colds irritate the lining of the air passages and make them real breed ing grounds for germs. Prompt use of Vick's VapoRub aids in preventing colds. For head colds, sore throat or hoarseness, rub Vicks well over the throat and chest and cover with warm flannel cloth. For deep chest colds, severe sore throat or bronchi- tis, hot wet towels should first be ap- piled to the throat. chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then Vichs should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red-spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing

 These vapors, inhaled with each, breath, carry the medication directly to the lungs and air passages. At the same time Vicks is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, thus aiding to relieve the congestion within. Use of External Treatment for Colds
 Increasing.
 Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of a orth Carolina druggist who found how to combine in Salve form, the standard time tested remedies, ann phor - Menthol = Eucalyptus - Thyme, etc.-so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these in gradients are liberated in the form of vapors.
 Vicks is particularly recommended l for children's crolp or colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects.
 The best evidence of the value of ' Vicks is the steadily increasing num- Der of people who have been convert , ed to the use of this 'toutside'' treat . ment.
 Beginning with the customers of a small retail drug store, the use of Nicks has grown = year by year state by state-until now more than IT million jars are used annually And this in spite of the fact that Vicks is a new form of treatment to many folks in the North and West.
