Fashion Independence
BY MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK.-Paris may propose
but the American woman certainly
will always dispose of fashions.
While the flare coat is the dernier
cri, the graceful drape of the loose
coat-wrap which was predicted at
the beginning of the season as being
on the wane-is still worn by many
smart American women.
There are many reasons for this
principal among them being the Pc
culiar charm this garment has in ac-
centuating the lines of slender wo-
men and ~concealing the lines of wo-
men too plump.
Another eason is comfort.
The lovely coat of brown crepe
m~atelasse is combined with metal
cloth.
The big kimona-like sleeves. with
their gorgeous metalized cuff, the
metal touches of the deep monkey
fur collar make it a fashion work of
art.
With this coat a brown velvet hat
combined with metalized lace and q
touch of monkey fur is most effec-
tive. The lines of the hat are con-
tinental.

BEAUTY HINTS

Yea could be such a really pretty
somebody. Your nose Is a nice shape
and your mouth isn't too large and
your eyes-they're nice bright eyes
which look as though they were
dashed with cold water every morn
ing. But your skinl Something's
wrong with it, little black specks all
over and the powder won't go on
well at all.
And finally you discover that
they're really and truly little black
heads in the makingl
Can't begin too early to do away
with theml Because the sooner you
begin treatment the easier it'n be.
The most simple and most effec-
tive way to treat a light case OF
blackheads is to wash the face we'll
with a solution of hot water and
green soap, then rinse thoroughly
and pat on considerable cold cream.
And there are two washes which
have been invaluable for clearing the
skin. One is a mixture of one dram
of powdered sulphur, one dram
glycerine. half pint rosewater, two
drains spirits of camphor.
This should be put on the face at
night and then washed off in the
morning with the green soap solu-
ton and water.
Another good remedy is a mixture
of A ounces of alcohol, 2 ounces of
rosewater, 2 teaspoons OF boracic
acid. This should be wiped over the
face on a piece of cotton after the
green soap and water bath.
And remember, most of all, while
giving these treatments, not to scrub
your face-deal gently, always!

her life be wrecked?"

Does YourBa bySayD -Da?

BOSTON, Mass.-If, when you go
home on the street car tonight, you
see a six-months-old infant in arms
gravely discussing Einstein's theory
with its mother, do not be surprised.
And it, when you arrive at your
threshold. your own young hopeful
says dada" for the first time, don't
shout in glee and run to tell your
nearest neighbor.
For, you might find your nearest
neighbours baby sitting sedately in
its crib reading the "Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table"
these days, you know, and what is
more, they're commencing at the g
of six months. At the age of one
year they're acquiring the wisdom
of Socrates!
The foregoing are the exaggera-
tions suggested by the theories on
characterization brought to light by
DR.. Walter Babcock Swift, Back Bay
physician and speech specialist.
DIR. Swift says an infant should be
able to talk at the age of six months.
He urges parents to abandon the
baby-talk and substitute in it's place
an effort to teach their babies to ex-
press themselves.
Can Learn Names
DR.. Swift is serious and reasonable
in his theories. He admits that a
baby of six months could not be
taught to talk fiuently. But, he
says. an infant of six months can
be taught to name objects and
sounds and to acquire a surprising
capacity for expression.

says DIR. Swift. "have convinced me
that the young mind is very suscep-
tible to the influence of repetition
and that If this evident susceptibility
were developed and controlled ii
might be made the instrument by
which children could be taught 20
talk long before the age at which
they now commonly do So"
DIR. Swift deplores the present pre-
vailing dada" language as used
between older persons and infants.
He explains that as long as the par
ents persist in saying nothing but
dada" to their infants. the infants
will say nothing but dada until
their maturing wisdom reveals to
them that they are being imposed
upon.
DR.. Swift explains that teaching

scream and cry. The same is true
when the child is cold. A parent may
have to try the remedy for a large
number of ailments and discomforts
before 1t finally arrives upon the one
desired by the infant"
DR.. Swift explains that his plan
also will tend to do away with spoil
ed humanity because, he says. a
child who cannot talk soon learns
that the only way he can get a thing
