MANY KNITTED
FROCKS IN PARIS

Before the openings AT the great
houses the small shops along with
the department stores placed an in
teresting assortment OF knitted clothes
for women at the disposal of Ameri-
can buyers. Many OF these go home
in American trunks. and they were
bought by the commercialists who
decided not 10 wait for the delayed
openings, but 10 sail on whatever boat
they could get. The transportation
question, you know, is a serious one
over here yet, and peace has not
brought peace 10 the labor question. AS
for the knitted garments, they are not
strictly new 10 American eyes, for they
were exploited in New York q year
ago, without success. This autumn
they are better looking than when they
made their first appearance. The
Galleries Lafayette has q gown of ma
chine knitted wool that sells for s35,
comes IN bright colors, and is as easily
adjusted as a night gown. 1t is admir-
able under a long coat in the street, in
the motor car. or in ones own home if
the rooms are not well heated and for
school girls il is admirable. Small shops
that make very good fashions for ex-
elusive women offer the knitted gown
in the form Of a piece frock or
tunic that reached nearly to the shoe
tops and IS 10 be worn with q short
separate skirt. They are not in solid
colors. A dark blue one will have a
stripe Of another color at sleeves and
hem or, IL may be IN two colors such
as deep beige and dark blue with a
string girdle of the darker color. The
new MILDLY blouses are made Of ex-
.remely soft shining knitted silk. They
are copied after the American sailors
blouse and are worn with a dark skirt
under a full coat or by q young girl
with white or blue serge skirts. The
collar and open sleeves have stripes Of
another color woven in, and there is a
silk cord lacing that runs through the
ryelets at each side OF the V-shaped
opening that runs downward from the
front Of the neck. There is no girdle
or belt with these MILDLY blouses. The
tailors are putting out machine knitted
coats and skirts as well as one-piece
srocks, in beige, dark blue and deep
red. Suddenly there has come about a
great deal or red for the autumn. 1t
Is constantly shown in all these knitted
garments and is the leading color in a
new kind OF sweater that is like a
tunic and made of shining silk thread
All the silk jersey material as well as
the silk knitted ones have a peculiar
brilnancy 70 the surface. This makes
them quite fascinating. The brOnzed
silk jersey, or rather copper, is worn
by smart women and offered by a few
great houses for social usage. A woman
az the Pre- Catelan for tea wore one OF
these copper silk Jerseys on the first
warm day with sun since the middle Of
June. She shone like piece of highly
colored copper in a good light The
frock was widely girdled at the hips.
the skirt was slim and placed in large
pleats over the hips and the sleeves
were loose and cut in one with the
bodice il is probable that the Amer
ican women will like these copper
gowns especially when they are touched
ND with amber.

Wear 1t Out

That the average farm implement Is
only half worn out by wear alone ana
that tho rest of the wear is due to rust
and decay. is the statement made by
experts in the Department OF Agricul-
ture. II this is true of farm imple-
ment.. II is even more true of Kitchen
utensils and devices. Take egg beaters,
.or instance. You seldom wear one out.

come rusty. Perhaps once you didn't

Good kitchen utensils will last a life
time IL we'll taken care of, and TO do
this they should first be kept clean and
always dried thoroughly after they are
washed Perhaps when we cooked in
heavy old iron pots and pans there was
some excuse for not drying them on
good sort OF cloth, but contenting our
selves with a superficial wiping- off with
the dish-cIoth. leaving to the tender
mercies of the kitchen fire TO absorb
the moisture. But with aluminium,
,gate or other up-to- date utensils there
s no reason in tho world why they
should not be dried with towel. If

Blue. blue. blue-it is the great
favorite color for women OF modern
times. We cannot get away from II.
If it Is not navy blue it is natter or

Then there was Victory blue and Devil

Walk and Be Well and Strong

which flesh is heir II the walking was
only regular and taken with hopeful
heart, a heart that is sure Of benefit
and yet is only thinking OF the good
time IL is having.
1t is not exactly sensible to walk on
a full stomach, and neither Is Il the
height of wisdom to trot on an empty
one. One hour after eating is about
the time 10 take the trip, and, OF course,
shoes and outer clothing must be OF a
sort not to hamper easy movement or
disturb the nerves. The girls who say
they can't walk, or they hate" TO walk.
generally try the stunt in high heeled
shoes. Naturally. they fail to find any
fun in the business. Broad, thick soled
footgear, with high tops and fiat heels,
a short skirt, and a lightweight hat are
needed for comfort at the moment and
for after benefit.
For beginners in this excellent art
moderation must be insisted upon, and
il breathing exercises are taken as the
walker goes along beauty and health
will come much more speedily. The
Orientals have a wonderful breathing
exercise for quieting the nerves and re-
freshing the body after any strain OF
hard work. The student is told to place
the thumb on the left nostril, closing 1t;
then the order is given to inhale slowly
and deeply through the right nostril;
with the lungs full, the right nostril is
closed, leaving the left open. through
which the breathing is done The sec
ond exercise begins with inhaling
through the left nostril, the right being
closed; the breath is exhaled through
the right with the left closed and so on.
This performance. requiring as it does
the hand to the nose. would be little
eccentric in the street. but in country
road 1t is all right, while merely breath
ing deeply with the mouth closed may
take its place at any time.

YOU AND THE DENTIST

After reading some articles written
by men and women of profound learn
ing the reader comes to the conclusion
that one wrong condition accounts for
all the sorrow and unhappiness and
suffering in the world. Sometimes IL
is adenoids that come in for attention.
Sometimes It IS broken arches Some
times II is eyestrain. And sometimes
il is uncared- for teeth.
or course, a man or woman can go
through life with poor teeth and yet
have enough health to he happy and
sane But the soundness of the teeth
has a real and important bearing to the
soundness of the rest OF the body.
Therefore. Il behooves everyone TO look
well to the care OF his teeth.
When to Begin.-It is never too soon
to begin 10 care for cbild's teeth.
Although the latest theory is that
boracic acid Ia perhaps not the best
mouth wash for very small babies
because they swallow little-still the
baby's mouth should be put in good,
condition to receive its teeth even be-
fore these make an appearance. IL
should be kept clean. II not with any
thing else. at least with water.
The first teeth should be carefully
watched, for II they arc allowed to de-
cay they often affect the teeth coming
in about them and sometimes injure
the gum. So watch for any signs OF
decay and have them attended 10 i'm
mediately.
I 1t is an odd thing that children. most
OF them, do not like to wash their
teeth. Tooth washing should be as
much a habit as washing the hands:
and be IL said in encouragement. the
child who once gets in the habit OF
washing its teeth regularly three or
four or even FIVE times a day becomes
q crank on the subtect-and has good
teeth in old age 10 show for 1t.
InstiIl the habit OF a regular visit to
the dentist early. Once every three OF
four months the child should be taken
10 a reputable dentist TO see that the
teeth are sound and clean. Small
cavities can then be detected and cared
for and small bills will be the welcome
result.
